LinuxMCE Phone System Demonstration Part 1/2

LinuxMCE provides a complete phone system based on Asterisk, and embeds a soft phone into each and every media director. Using a Phoenix Solo USB Microphone and a set of speakers, you can create an effective speaker phone system that provides rock solid audio fidelity and a microphone pick-up range of roughly 10' square from where the microphone is placed. This was a quick demo, so I apologise for the shaky camera and improvised dialogue. Enjoy.

I have ooma voip service (which has no monthly charge, its one time fee of $249.99 for lifetime service!). Can Linux MCE implement it? thanks for your work and time.

If the VOIP service implements SIP in a standard way, you can set up the account within the web admin. We merely have pre-defined templates for a few US based services such as BroadVoice which are even easier to set up.

Awesome setup!

Is it really this easy? You are using the default settings of Astrisks and you are only using your internet connection? So it's completely free of charge?

[tschak909]

I live in the US, and use Broadvoice as my VOIP provider. I'm using the BYOD plan at $9.95/mo, and specifying Asterisk as my setup. Yes, this works over the Internet connection.

The microphone I am using is a Phoenix Solo USB microphone, at $129.95 from Hello Direct. You need one for each media director in the house.

sigh. Read the comments, this has been answered before!

What are you using for the orbiter?

[tschak909]

It is a DT Research WebDT 366. You can get these from tkmedia in the forums.

i think linux mce is amazingly cool, but dont have the time or money (ironic as its open source) to set it up (oh and epic camera shake btw ;)

[wnicholls1988]

thanks for the description of the USB, that really helped ;)

[Mafkeesdejong]

Thanks for the information! Your videos are quite good, when I've the room then I'll most likely create a Linux MCE environment.

It really looks like something that isn't suppose to exist yet, it's quite futuristic

[waterfordfire]

can you tell me the make and model of the orbiter touch panel you are using thanks
