PSE Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Would be really appreciated mate, I will take you up on that offer please, I've already got all my recordings done from Fiverr by Peter Baker. I will come back to you next weekend to arrange this if that's ok, I'm currently away in Gran Canaria, not back until Sunday. Thanks for the additional info, I'm off to eBay now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Make sure it's a Pi 2, not a B+ or a 'Version 2' as some slightly unscrupulous sellers are now listing the old ones! The only thing I haven't got fixed yet is how to 'resize' the image (currently 4GB) into the full 8 or 16 GB sd card. With PIAF you can use raspi-config option 1, easy, with FreePBX, for some god unbeknown reason (which is documented) that doesn't work. I followed the 'manual resize' guide but ended up trashing the installation 1st time around so have left that alone for now. But it's not exactly rocket science, apparently it's a doddle if you have access to another Linux system, so I will just burn off a Live CD for the laptop. That said for call recording I am going to use an external USB thumb (when I owrk out how, but apparently it isn't hard, you just need to insert and root own it, 'chown' I think they call it. I knew nothing about linux until this weekend - I had a pi before but just used it to run RISC OS. Don't be tempted by cheap CISCO castoff VOIPs by the way, apparently they are very proprietary and they charge more than the phone is worth for firmware download access.. That's just what I've read though. I was going to use Peter (I noticed today he has now removed all traces of his real name form fiverr but still on there...) but for the phone I thought a female voice would be better.

Nova-Security Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 I knew nothing about linux until this weekend - Just wait....... the bug will strike then you will be running unbuntu and WINE next. Don't be tempted by cheap CISCO castoff VOIPs by the way, apparently they are very proprietary and they charge more than the phone is worth for firmware download access.. That's just what I've read though. Yep correct a bit of a pain at first, i like the phones and have three running well and they are well made Polycom is very good stuff.

datadiffusion Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Ah yes Polycom seems highly regarded... Is this the one I needhttp://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=171633012308 It is but more price fixed than apple. Amazon have tons in stock and most likely at a regional warehouse near you for immediate dispatch If its £29 its the right one! You have 29 minutes to order for tomorrow (but that might be as were close to the cardiff depot) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Raspberry-Model-Desktop-Quad-Linux/dp/B00T2U7R7I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433699319&sr=8-1&keywords=raspberry+pi+2 Also get a 8gb / 16gb micro sd card, although 4gb will do for playing about. As you're not attatching silly things a PC USB A to micro cable might just do for a PSU, although any decent micro usb wall job will do.

MrHappy Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Whilst very cheap & even cheaper to run when I get around to doing the long over due "pbx tart up" I'll use a mirco server rather than a pii bought a couple of these http://www.ipchitchat.co.uk/GXP2140-IP-Telephone-p/gra-2140.htma while back, display is much better than the 2130 Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 buy direct and support them https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/ It just redirects to Rs or Farnell. All the boxes are marked Farnell or RS anyway, I don't think they get any more or less cash regardless. Whilst very cheap & even cheaper to run when I get around to doing the long over due "pbx tart up" I'll use a mirco server rather than a pii Pi2 is now powerful enough to run W10 though - 4 times faster than the old one... Admittedly an odd / cumbersome form factor though.

datadiffusion Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Used free pbx which is a complete ready to run build. Tried compiling it myself but 2h in hit the wall when asterisk would start due to some missing pid file, another known issue apparently but the given fix didn't work.
