Problem definitionQuick and efficient communication between employees is an essential business requirement. Unfortunately, companies ofttimes suffer high costs in facilitating phone communication between employees at different branches.1.2. Solution to this problemTo solve the problem you run through to use Asterisk to add PBX with low cost.Asterisk is an open source framework for building communications applications. Asterisk turns an ordinary computer into a communications server. Asterisk powers IP PBX systems, VoIP introductions, conference servers and other custom solutions.

Asterisk is used by almost the broad(a) Fortune 1000 list of customers. Most often deployed by system integrators and developers, Asterisk can become the basis for a complete business phone system, or used to enhance or extend an existing system, or to bridge a gap between systems.Most Asterisk-based systems and solutions require additional components phones, gateway appliances or interface cards and other hardwargon. Companies that deploy open source solutions frequently need training and often p announce to have support from a trusted partner. Digium meets all of these needs with a family of product and service offerings built exclusively for the Asterisk market.2.1. How it worksFigure 1 Example of two branches attached togetherFigure1 shows you how Asterisk connects two branches together even if the next branch is with long distance.Figure 2 PSTNIn figure 2 you can bump the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), which refers to the international telephone system based on copper wires carrying analog voice data. This is in contrast to newer telephone networks base on digital technologies.PSTN uses circuit switching to allow users to make landline telephone calls to one another. The call is placed after it is routed through multiple switches. These switches are found in a central office (CO) or in a wire center. Ultimately, voice signals are able to travel over the committed phone lines.When two telephones are connected, analog voice data is transmitted over the copper wires of the PSTN. The voice data is then converted into electrical signals which are eventually routed in the switching centers. Finally, a connection is made and communication is possible.The version that we are installing is a free version of ASTERISK. You have to look out these steps in order to install the ASTERISK.3.1.
