Adelia, Hopefully what I'm about to say will not disrupt everything. However, since I'm over 60 I don't worry about things like that much anymore. 1. FreeSWITCH is, without a doubt the most sophisticated and capable softswitch out there now. However, it is not the easiest to work with nor the simplest. With sophistication and capabilities and speed you also gain complexity. BTW, I've had more than a bit of experience with Kazoo and 2600hz and that product makes FS and Fusion easy. I won't get started on that. 2. FusionPBX does work. I've gotten it to work. As you have found, it's not the easiest to setup. And, it's basically supported by a single person. He does try to help and he provides classes with some regularity. 3. If you are not planning on making VoIP your life work (which it sounds like you're not) may I recommend (without getting flamed too much) that you look at Asterisk? I believe you'll find the amount of support is much more complete both in GUIs available and just general support. There are whole lot more people using Asterisk than FS. I will tell you, you can't do multi-tenant (at least not reasonably - before I get flamed by the Asterisk folks out there too!). And, it also cannot handle anywhere near the number of concurrent calls that FS can. But, if you're mostly interested in getting something off the ground, you're going to do in-house installation and you're going to have < 100 concurrent calls (this is a very conservative estimate and greatly depends on your hardware, etc) then please take a look at Asterisk.

That's what I read as well - Kazoo vs. Bluebox. Although a Darren Schreiber comment/reply on a similar thread mentioned Bluebox will be kept alive with minimal dev, I am wary to go that road. Kazoo looks a bit big for what I need.
To rephrase my question then - any successful Kazoo users out there (and has it been easy to use)?
Still waiting on some happy FusionPBX users. I like it but I need something that makes my life easier not adds to the difficulty of a first setup.
Thx. A.C.

Liam,
Where did you get your copy of Bluebox? I thought they had ceased all development on that concentrating on Kazoo instead?

Hiya.
I am trying out Bluebox at the moment.

Using FusionPBX to configure a FreeSwitch PBX. I find it a pain on its own league. I was successful in configuring a proof of concept by manually changing the Freeswitch XML files on the node. However, I need a GUI as I want to do the basic config and pass it over to admins, with clear and simple instructions on how to add new users. Should I look at any other GUIs? I am running against time, as I need it functioning in a few days. My SIP clients are SJPhones and Cisco 7942. They just don't register, I don't seem to get the passwords right.
Question 1: Keep getting this message: "[WARNING] sofia_reg.c:2745 Can't find user [1000@10.50.1.151] from 10.50.1.151 You must define a domain called '10.50.1.151' in your directory and add a user with the id="1000" attribute and you must configure your device to use the proper domain in it's authentication credentials."
I tried all kind of things - adding files left and right (a 10.50.1.151 directory was added for me + an empty file with the same name, in the same folder). Found an older thread and tried to follow it but no luck:
http://lists.freeswitch.org/pipermail/freeswitch-users/2013-January/090948.h... If I try to use domains instead of IP addresses (in sip clients config, etc), I have the same problem.
Question 2: As soon as I start manually modifying and adding config files on FreeSwitch, my FusionPBX configured devices/users/domains/extensions no longer show up in the FusionPBX GUI but the files are still there.
Do I have a better option? I find FusionPBX isn't really helping or making it easier to configure the PBX. At this time, do I have an option to manually configure everything (directly on Freeswitch) and get things going and then bring in a GUI that retrieves all the config, displays it and allows for new users to be added?
Thank you. A.C.
