Is it possible to configure call back services on this? Or would have been better to do it in freepbx?

Excellent job and Clear details. I’m new user of a UCM6104. I’ll be very cautious with its setup. Thanks for this article.

Hey. Nice article and the box *looks* good! The screen shots you are showing for configuring the box look like FreePBX, though. Did Grandstream fork the FreePBX code to make this UI? Does this box support GoogleVoice? [WM: Rumor has it that portions of the GUI look strikingly similar to the (retired) Asterisk-GUI. No GoogleVoice support exists unless you add an OBi device. See PIAF Forum Tutorial for setup instructions.]

Couldn’t agree more. Love the idea and the design. It’s the implementation that’s problematic at least for now.

Ward, excellent writeup as always. I think someone needs to have a talk with GS. If only they knew that they could sell 100,000 of these devices if … the source was open, and perhaps it allowed PIAF to be installed on it. How many of us look for a sexy box with LCD display to install for customers instead of a rectangular PC box? This is close … very close … but no cigar.
