who had used webphone in freePBX

scottalanmiller

In Asterisk, the VoIP trunks are configured in the extensions list. Asterisk sure calls them extensions. And technically they are no different than any other extension, other than normally they originate from the inside out.

Depends on how you have set up the webphone. What web phone will you be using? I suspect that the web phone documentation will tell you what to do.

FreePBX has no limitations. It will treat it however you want.

That could be. FreePBX might not expose that functionality.

And you'll need to expose your PBX to the internet to make this work.

Yes, for sure.

I don't see a web phone available there. Can you use their web phone product without their PBX?

not necessarily, a port forward will do the job without exposing you PBX with a public ip

That's probably the problem the OP is running into. Can't seem to make it work directly - which it's probably not meant to.

as far as i'm concerned you cannot,
but really it a very very good feature that allows you to increase your incoming phone calls and bring new costumers

Still exposed, but not fully. Better than nothing.

It's a great feature. But it is separate from the PBX code. You just have to go find a web phone that you like and use that. No reason to have it connected with the PBX itself.

I'm not sure how this is different? OK it's a bit different, and it's exactly how I would expect nearly anyone to set it up, only opening the required ports to the outside.

i think if you use a simple webphone (without being associated with any PBX) you will not be able to route the call to a hard phone, it will be kind of a skype call which is not practical in our business at all, the agent must answers calls with a hard phone

yes but there is a difference between giving your PBX a public ip or put it in the DMZ and port forward

Skype can be answered with a traditional phone, at least consumer based ones. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a module for some PBX (maybe not FreePBX) to accept Skype calls.
