How do I get started with trixbox?

Getting Started

trixbox is an open telephony platform utilizing the best of the open source telephony tools into one easy-to-install package. Based on an enhanced LAAMP (Linux, Apache, Asterisk, mySQL, PHP) the trixbox dashboard provides easy to use web-based interfaces to setup, manage, maintain, and support an complete IP PBX system.

Succeeding Asterisk@Home 2.8, trixbox has been loosely described as 'Asterisk@Home 3.0'. It offers improved stability and the promise of an upgrade process that doesn't require you to wipe the entire install and start over.

Polycom support for trixbox now includes Paging and Intercom, Buddy Lists, and BLF functionality.

trixbox 2.6 contains the following:

• Built on CentOS 5.2 from Redhat
• Featuring Asterisk 1.4, mySQL, Apache, PHP, PBX Config 5.5, Setup Wizards, Status Screens, Network Configuration Tools
• Telephone provisioning for Linksys, Polycom, SNOM, Grandstream, Cisco and Aastra

Basic Configuration

trixbox CE (Community Edition) is distributed as an .iso image which can be downloaded from https://www.trixbox.com/products/trixbox-ce.

Once you have burned the .iso to a blank CD and booted from it, your system will be reformatted and the CentOS operating system installed.

A video can be watched online which includes an overview of the installation process at http://www.trixbox.org/getting-started-trixbox-2-2.
