How-To: Setting up a home phone network?

December 10th, 2009 | by management |
Sky asked:


Looking for some general information on setting up a home telephone networking system that is able to support the common features such as call transfers, but most importantly use an existing land line for external calls. Some questions I have are:

1) Is a server required, and what software and management utilities does it need to run. (Os: Windows, Linux, Mac)
2) If a server is not required, can I alternatively use one desktop PC with network access (Wireless / LAN) with the phone connected locally to each machine.
3) What hardware, apart from a networking capable phone, is required? Will default networking cards be sufficient? Is there other hardware required?

Thanks,

Ryan
