A few weeks back, Fonality released version 2.0 of its popular Trixbox 2.0 telephony system. One main highlight of this release is a new GUI manager that adds ease to the setting up the system.

trixbox 2.0 comes with a new point-and-click package manager which lets installers, via simple clicks of their mouse, decide which applications they want to install with trixbox. The advantage to the package manager is two-fold: first, it let’s you choose how lean or rich of a deployment you need. Secondly, it informs the installer, over time, of any new updates to any packages within their trixbox installation as vendors release them.

The installation includes the usual Apache, modified/enhanced Asterisk, FreePBX, Flash Operator, MySQL, phpMyAdmin and SugarCRM packaged with Trixbox. An enhancement in this new version includes detailed call reports, an endpoint manager, VoIP service provier wizards, better integration with SugarCRM, and drivers for Sangoma and Rhino voice cards. Aside from English, version 2.0 also has support for multiple languages such as German, Portugese and Spanish. Other language packs will be released in the future.

Fonality also said that this coming January 30th, Keith Garrison, Trixbox senior product manager, will be conducting the first trixbox.org Webinar, which is meant to deliver information to IT managers and integrators who intend to install Trixbox 2.0 on their systems. The session will give an overview of the new version, and shall discuss what’s included in the package, the system requirements, hardware required, and skills needed for successful deployment, installation and maintenance.
