First if all, for those do don’t know it: what is Microsoft Azure? In short, it’s Microsoft’s cloud platform: a growing collection of integrated services—compute, storage, data, networking, and app—that help you move faster, do more, and save money. But that’s just scratching the surface. Here’s what else Azure is: Vodia PBX can easily be installed onto the Azure Server.
We recently had the opportunity to install the PBX on a Microsoft Azure server. This blog entry is about the lessons that we learned.
First if all, for those do don’t know it: what is Microsoft Azure? In short, it’s Microsoft’s cloud platform: a growing collection of integrated services—compute, storage, data, networking, and app—that help you move faster, do more, and save money. But that’s just scratching the surface. Here’s what else Azure is: Vodia PBX can easily be installed onto the Azure Server.
The installation of the software itself is just like installing the Vodia PBX Software on any other Windows operating system. Once the PBX is installed on your virtual server you’ll have to open some ports for example.
HTTP Port: 80
HTTPS Port: 443
TFTP Port: 69
NTP Port: 123
LDAP Port: (TCP, StartTLS): 2345
LDAP Port (TLS): 2346
RTP range: This setting will depend on how many calls you’ll like to have on the system.
In order for the PBX to receive and send audio on your virtual server you’ll have to open some endpoints. A Virtual networks require endpoints to direct the inbound network traffic to a virtual machine” Each endpoint has a public port and a private port.
The public port is used by the Azure load balancer to listen for incoming traffic to the virtual machine from the Internet.
The private port is used by the virtual machine to listen for incoming traffic, typically destined to an application or service running on the virtual machine.
To open an endpoint on your Virtual Machine please navigate to create an Endpoint.
NOTE: An RTP range of 49900-50000 will allow you 25 calls. That’s 100 ports for RTP. Each call uses 4 ports, so you’ll have to decide how many calls you want on the system. To determine how many calls you would like on your system you’ll have multiply the number of calls by 4 to get the number of ports you’ll need.
Navigate to the Dashboard and click on ENDPOINTS and open your RTP range here.
Inmitten der Pandemie schienen Millionen von einsamen Desktop-Telefonen auf einsamen Schreibtischen in einsamen Büros weltweit zu stehen. Sehr viele Menschen arbeiteten von zu Hause aus. In einem vor der Pandemie unvorstellbaren Übergang konnten Benutzer plötzlich Apps – und sogar ihre Browser – verwenden, um Anrufe zu tätigen und zu empfangen. Was im Büroalltag zur vertrauten Routine geworden ist, wird uns noch lange, vielleicht für immer begleiten.
When it comes to the right telephone system, the exact ratio doesn’t even matter: the system needs to support all modes of communication. Most organizations are figuring out which mode works best for each employee, and it would be unwise to address this while installing a new system. There are users who don't like to use the app and prefer a desktop phone; other users prefer the app. And there are cases when users want both.
