Kristan Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 In a previous installation (2.0), we had a major issue with the following setup: 1 huntgroup with 5 phones each phone was watching each other's extension (so 4 buttons assigned as extensions) When a call came in, each phone was getting multiple notifies and the snoms couldn't cope and died. I have another installation where they have the same setup, a small office, a single hunt group with all the phones in, and they want to watch the status of each others phones. The new place has 2.1 and 7.1.24 firmware on the phones, or are we likely to still suffer the same problems using buttons or will it work?

Vodia PBX Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Well, dialog state was originally not designed for updating LED. Therefore the idea with the "buttons" package to reduce the message overload was a good idea. So far we are happy with it and it seems to solve a lot of problems. So yes can can recommend it!

Kristan Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I've tried setting up a phone here with the buttons and the indicator lights work fine, but when set to extension, you can't press the buton and get it to dial that extension. Is there any way to have it monitor an extension AND work as a speed-dial button for that extension? You used to be able to do this on the snoms...

You used to be able to do this on the snoms... It is kind of dangerous with the race conditions. If you press the button just after a new call enables a call pickup, you will not call that extension but steal it's calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristan Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hmmm, ok, I can see that. Personally as a phone user, I'd prefer to use the pickup code and have the buttons work for dialing/transfering etc. Or for it to do both - users will understand if they press the button while it's flashing it'll steal the call, but 99% of phones and systems I've used have the buttons for calling extensions, not just monitoring them. Seems like a bit of a limitation to me, especially when setting the snom function key to extension makes it behave like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Okay, lets keep a "Speed Dial" mode in the back of our mind - or use the one which is arleady available... But that one does not light up the LED. Might be not so diffilult to do that. Lets see if others also feel the need for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djanjic Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 We are having issues running combination of Snom 360s and 320s with latest stable 6 firmware and Pbxnsip 2.0.3.1705. We are also assigning extension keys on buttons with an idea to monitor who is on a call or to pickup the call when the person is not around. The feature works for about 10 incoming calls and then the feature dies. The lamps no longer lit up and only the phone reboot will make it work for another 10 calls. The phones continue to work, only the feature is affected. Most of our customers like the feature because they want to monitor who is on the phone when but with this problem we are not implementing it. Can anyone help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Are you using 6.5.12 (http://wiki.snom.com/Snom320/Firmware/Release_Notes#6.5.12_release)? Seems there was a fix for lost subscriptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already use this but with buttons it more easy to configure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertO Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Buttons are wonderful for me to configure :-) I think the girls at the switchboard would love me if the Buttons are a combination of "monitor extension (on phone)" and "Speed Dial". It is possibe to get that feature very quick... best in the next release ;-) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 On the Snom 320 phone, the phones version of "Extension" type for the function button allows it to both monitor and speed dial. I would use the phones without auto provisioning, but I can't get the "Shared Line" feature to work without it. When I auto provision, I can't use the "Extension" to monitor and speed dial. We would like to have both of these features working. If I could auto provision certain buttons while manually configuring others, I could get it to work. Is this possible or are there plans to add the speed dial functionality to the "Extension" button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlumby Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I am having the same issue. Customers coming from traditional PBX systems expect to be able to monitor, and speed dial the extension all on the same button. I feel that not having this feature is a major shortcoming, and leads to many unhappy customers. I did find that if you are using a snom 220 you can set the button type to "destination", and then enter the extension number in the format of <sip:204@yourdomain.com;user=phone;intercom=true> and the button will monitor, speed dial, and pickup ringing calls all in one. No one ever complains about accidentally picking up a call. I wish there was a way to get a snom 360 to do this. The snom 360 does not have the ability to set the button type to "destination" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snom 360 does not have the ability to set the button type to "destination" If you select the "speed dial" option (in the PBX) with the buttons, it should work. Pressing the button always dials the same destination, no matter what the LED is showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlumby Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 The problem is then you loose the pickup feature. You also loose the ability to transfer to that extension by pressing the transfer button followed by the speed dial button. With a Snom 220 set to destination, you can do all 3 on 1 button.
