 Posted: Mon Mar 03, 2008 4:35 pm Post subject: [asterisk-users] Switchvox feedback |
 |
|
I have a customer that wants to get switchvox, since I have never used
it, I would like to hear some feedback from active users of switchvox.
In specific:
1. Does it use realtime or conf files
2. Is it possible to change it manually?
3. Is SSH access to login to console/shell available?
4. Are you or your customers happy with the user interface?
TIA |

First of all SwitchVox is a GREAT product.
Second, I would boot to G4U and make a bit level clone of your system
and dump that off on the network somewhere before messing around.
I beleive (and I could be wrong) that it uses conf files. Anything is
possible. At bootup select a and add single to get to # prompt.
Either add a new user or change root's password. I do no think that
root is enabled to login via SSH. I just installed webmin (I love
webmin) on mine and took back the control that was "locked down".
To that end, I don't see why you would be locked to Digium hardware
either since you could log in as root and install other
manuafacturer's patches or Drivers. Updating might be painful down
the road though.
Also, peek around for any phone home scripts or OpenVPN, I am not
saying there are any, I am just curious since I do not have access to
any SwitchVox boxen anymore.
Thanks,
Steve Totaro |

Having recently worked with the latest version here are my thoughts.
1-3 The only out of the box method to configure and manage switchvox
is the GUI. They are using realtime but manually configuring the
system is not available by default. SSH access is not available by
default and the root account information is not known unless you set
it like Steve mentioned.
4 The interface is great for what Switchvox designed it to do.
In my opinion this is a small office product. Administering the system
is easy, initial configuration is not. There are several great things
about it, the problem comes in when you expect it to do everything
Asterisk can do. It has a feature set and a lot of limits in
comparison to running Asterisk. Before selling it to a customer I
would urge you to download the free version and configure it, I ran
into several things the customer ask for that are easy to do in
Asterisk dial plan and even in sip.conf settings that could not be
done.
