[MVMA] Another PBX solution in search of a problem. ;-)

[Chuck Gelm]

Staying home. No golf. No tennis. Lots of time.

I had an idle Raspberry Pi and a ham in California interested in mesh 
and IP phones (and with an idle RPi).

Around March 26th we started trying to trunk 2 PBXs.
I wanted to achieve this over the internet rather than via a mesh-tunnel.
I started trying to link my internet PBX to my mesh PBX and to my 
PBX-go-box.
I wanted to use IAX2 for the trunk, but I already had port 4569 being 
forwarded to my mesh PBX for the phone patch.
I needed to set up port forwarding and include specific IP addresses on 
the WAN (internet) and the LAN:
  1 WAN<>LAN address for the phone patch and 1 WAN<>LAN address for the 
PBX.
Success using PFSense firewall.

I have 3 Raspberry Pi PBXs:

 1.   nc8q-rasPBX on the local mesh
 2.   nc8q-rasPBX-go on a Mikrotik hAP that can tunnel with available
    internet access
 3.   nc8q-rasPBX-home on my home internet ISP; trunked with nc8q-raspbx
    and k6dlc-rasPBX (California)


  *   Extensions on any of these PBXs may dial each other by 4-digit
    extension.
  *   Extensions on any of these PBXs may dial long distance into N2MH's
    MeshPhone network via mesh tunnels.


  Using N2MH's PBX configuration files, any PBX on the internet may be 
trunked into the local (and N2MH's) MeshPhone network.

  So, something as simple and as portable as a Raspberry Pi with 
internet or mesh-tunnel access,
with (or without) an IP phone or a softphone, can access the local (and 
N2MH's) MeshPhone network.

  I am now wondering of my mesh-phone-patch service can be extended to 
extensions of trunked PBXs.
:-|
I would like to provide the phone patch feature to extensions of 
nc8q-raspbx-go (and, maybe, other PBXs).
