Part 2. How’d ya like to trade in that old PBX for a shiny new OCS environment?

Posted on June 15, 2009 by Kevin Peters

So after discussing the things we might want to do with OCS and our legacy PBX, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and take a look at how it all works. This isn’t meant to be a deployment guide by any stretch of the imagination, more of an overview of what will need to be, independent of what PBX or gateway you have. Continue reading →
