Dive into the second part of a video series on creating a playful telephony network using Asterisk open source communications software. Learn how to download and configure RasPBX, a complete standalone distribution including the Asterisk server on a Raspbian OS and the FreePBX web GUI. Follow step-by-step instructions on setting up the OS, creating extensions in Asterisk via the FreePBX GUI, and mapping those extensions to physical phone handsets using a Linksys PAP2T ATA and virtual softphones using MicroSIP. Discover useful programs like Putty and WinSCP, and gain insights on assigning static IP addresses to Raspberry Pi. Perfect for those interested in creating standalone local private branch exchange (PBX) networks for playful telephone puzzles or escape room scenarios.
