An Asterix box, like FreePBX, could handle this.I looked into Asterix but it seems WAY over the top. My intented use is to make voice calls over IP in my LAN. I mean, Im not sure what you ment..... Call 192.168.1.176 192.168.1.176 gets a call from 192.168.1.12 192.168.1.176 accepts the call. 192.168.1.12 and 192.168.1.176 have a audio conversation 192.168.1.176 decided to end the call... Its just that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 sc302 Veteran Posted October 23, 2013 Veteran Share Posted October 23, 2013 We used vocera devices at the hospital to do exactly that. It worked over the wireless at the hospital. Not sure what type of solutions they offer for you, but I would look at their b3000 badge offering (not what it sounds like), vocera connect, and vocera access anywhere. You can use a their badge, a smartphone, or a computer to connect to the system and send/recieve calls in house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 xbamaris Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 3CX might be an option, its a Windows PBX server that does internal calls to extensions. whether they are hardware or software phones. Asterisk is not really that over the top because it does exactly what you ask and more. 3CX is free sort of. Asterisk is 100% free which I would recommend if your having high number of internal calls (more than 2 simultaneous) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asterisk is 100% free which I would recommend if your having high number of internal calls (more than 2 simultaneous) Asterisk goes way beyond what I am looking for. Im looking for a software solution that acts as server/client. I call 192.168.1.90 and he picks up and starts a audio conversation. Asterisk AFAIK involves being a server and then individual SIP clients can connect to it. At most there will be only one call at a time. I mean, I can try Asterisk but too much configuration time is not worth for something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 xbamaris Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 3CX is pretty simplistic in terms of configuration. Asterisk is mostly web-based configuration (not including installing, which is simple as well) If you do want simpler, Teamspeak is an alternative to Mumble.

0 +LogicalApex MVC Posted October 23, 2013 MVC Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hello, Software solution only please. A SIP softphone sounds like a software solution. Not sure what more you need to know. Pick a SIP softphone and try it out... Most support Direct SIP and that's all you need to do what you want, as I previously mentioned. With Direct SIP you don't need a server in the middle and an easily to LAN to LAN (or even LAN to WAN and WAN to WAN) calling directly using IPs or even domain names (with a similar structure as email addresses). goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then what easy ones are there that are Direct SIP compatible? I mean yeah there are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SIP_software but recommendations on easy and simple would be nice.

No idea. All of my SIP Phones are hardware based because I prefer them that way. That being said, I would try 3CX Phone as it looked OK when I played with it like 5 versions ago. More than likely you'll just need to download a few and see what you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
