Carlos Montemayor Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hi, I have not been able to place a call in Park Orbit using a Yealink phone. Curiously, if I do place a call on Park Orbit using a snom phone, the Yealink can pick up the call with no problem. Is there a feature that I should change on the Yealink so it can place a call on Park Orbit? I am using the latest firmware on the Yealink and the phone was configured using plug and play.

Vodia PBX Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 So are you using a BLF mode button for the park orbit? That is supposed to work for Polycom phones; not sure about Yealink. The obvious workaround is to use the *85 and *86 codes. Also, check what is set for park orbit preference in the extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Montemayor Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Oh, no, no, no. I am using *85 all along. I meant, that under the exact same circumstances, *85 works fine with a snom 710 but not on the Yealink. Also, if the call is already parked (by the snom, which is the one that could do it) the Yealink has no problem to pick it up by using *86. Checking on the park orbit preference, it is blank. Nothing is in the box. What should I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Does it work if you explicitly specify what orbit you want to pick up? *86123? Anything in the permissions of the involved extensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Montemayor Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 It works with the snom 710 but not with the Yealink. I have tried with and without dialing the exact park orbit. In my case, I used account 66, so I tried *8566 ok which did nor worked. As I said earlier, *8666 ok, did work (pulling the call out of the park orbit. If it were not that pulling the call out of park orbit (as well as listening to voice messages) was working using the Yealink, I would say that the probable cause of the problem would be a wrong DTMF configuration. I cannot say that because retrieving the call and other DTMF managed functions do work. So, I would suspect of something that has to do with DTMF but that only happens during a call being on hold (the procedure indicates to first put the call on hold and then dialing *85). The other thing would be the permissions. I have not written anything there, although it does not prevent the snom 710 of doing the park. What should I do?

Vodia support Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 The issue is with the yealink phone, the 1st time you park the call it's sends a REFER the 1st time around. The 2nd time the yealink retrieve the call and parks the call again but this time it does not send the REFER message to the PBX terminating the call.

Carlos Montemayor Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Is there something we can change in the configuration of the phone? or a workaround? Is it something that could be fixed in a future firmware release? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Is there something we can change in the configuration of the phone? or a workaround? Is it something that could be fixed in a future firmware release? Thanks Have you tried just transferring to the park orbit? If the park orbit was 123 then transfer to 123, that is how I have grandstreams do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Montemayor Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Had not tried before, but I just did after reading your post. It hurts not to have thought of that, but mighty glad that you did. It works!! It only misses the message (the one that tells you that you have placed the call on park orbit), which would be nice but that is something one can live without. Thanks!!
