<div>Hello,<br><br>I'm new to freeswitch and VoIP on the whole. I'm trying to deploy Freeswitch for a LAN. My current senerio is this:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a CentOS linux server set up and have about 5 PCs on the LAN. The Linux box is the gateway to the PCs. I want to set up Freeswitch and have phones on all the computers. I want to use Freeswitch as a softPBAX to route calls to all the five persons and also to be able to call the five persons internally. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Eg, if someone calls our office number, it should be picked up by person 1. He will then forward the calls to any of the 5 persons in the LAN. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Where do I start? I have moderate knowledge in Linux and PHP so should be able to work with Freeswitch. But my question is how can i input the telephone line (from my provider) into the server? Is it also possible to use ordinary phones across LAN instead of SIP phones (I assume it is software phones that will use the server's IP to get hooked in).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm sorry if my questions sound too foolish, but since I'm totally new to VoIP I'm having problems to kick start.</div>
<div><br>Thank you in advance for your help.</div>
<div><br>Kind regards,</div>
