There is FreePBX the interface, which is used by both Elastix 4 and by FreePBX. Then there is the FreePBX PBX, which is just like Elastix but much more current and stable.

I would not recommend Elastix of any version at this point.
The only Asterisk based distribution I recommend for others to use in production at this time is FreePBX.
Elastix failed hard a few years ago now. They tried, and failed, to abandon the FreePBX backend. I get that they wanted to remove third party code from their system, but they failed.

Means I have to start using Free PBX right ?
Also Do you think the reported issue is with Elastix 4 right ? If i start using freepbx then I won't have such an issue ? Please let me know so I have to take the decision . and try to start using of freepbx .
Thanks

Honestly, I have no sure answer for your existing problem or if switching to FreePBX would resolve the issue. I have not used Elastix 4 enough to know. I installed it twice.
The first time it never worked.
The second time it worked but I had issues after a reboot.
I gave up and have never looked again.

i also doubt that JB is using an E1, instead he's using mostly if not exclusively SIP trunks. So you could have a hardware issue.

Could they be hang ups that just aren't being dropped by the PBX?
also wondering, why are you using Elastix? Hasn't development kinda dried up on that?
No Elastix 4 development is not dried up, but it is certainly not a stable solution.
it certainly has dried up.. it's no where near as fluid as it used to be.

Dear Dashrender ,
Would you recommend me to start using 2.5 ? Actually now I am confused that which distro should I start using

You have a solution in production. Unless you can afford the time to rebuild, I suggest contacting Elastix directly and buying support from them.

We tend to recommend it. Not only is there good reason to do so technically, but here in MangoLassi most everyone moved from Elastix to FreePBX as their primary systems so there is a lot of experience on FreePBX for people to assist you and with Elastix we are mostly stuck guessing.

Definitely not. If you move to anything, move to FreePBX.

This is very true. Most of us use VoIP, not an E1 or T1, so there is less experience there.

Hard to say, it's just that FreePBX has more support, more development, more eyes on it and more people know more about it.

I would agree with this. If you move, move to FreePBX. If you try to salvage what you have, then contact Elastix directly for support. You will be hard pressed to find an independent consultant well versed in Elastix 4 at this point.

I held out for Elastix longer than Jared did, but I'm in the same boat now. FreePBX is what I always recommend.
