The kb is a great source for this type of question: Here is what it came up with: https://www.pbxnsipsupport.com/index.php?_m...kbarticleid=668 matt

we stock and use Patton exclusively. You might have interest in a survey of gateways vars/admins use on soft-pbx's at my blog: http://windowspbx.blogspot.com/search/label/Patton To summarize: Patton was way ahead of all other players in the survey. I give some reasons I think why. We tried Audiocodes but had issues with volume on multiple pbx's. They look nice and have nice web gui but after our trouble we moved to Patton with zero issues. Matt

some indication of incorrect field input would be appropriate whether or not empty passwords allowed. Just a suggestion. Matt

thanks for that insight. matt

Nelson, What blue tooth headset? i hear that plantronics the button works with xlite. I havent use it, i just heard this 2nd hand. matt

At the moment pbxnsip only allows a single music file as a music source. I really recommend pbxnsip consider making provision for a music on hold file playlist. I know they can setup the infrastructure to plug an external mp3 player in--People expect if the pbx is on a PC they can drop files into a playlist. To make it as easy as possible to implement: add a new MOH type=Playlist. Filename=a folder in the pbxnsip MOH directory Inside this folder people could drop their multiple music files. I know we can say people don't need this. That may be true, but they want it. ;-) Over at 3CX the biggest single feature request was this very feature! (100 posts, 6600 views! on this moh thread!) In version 9 they implemented it. just a suggestion, matt

7mb MOH file can cause jitter!? i didn't get a chance to test this. Is this typical to have jitter on first MOH start using such a small file? If its running on a PC type hardware is this similar? I guess I'm learning about moh...;-) Matt

it doesn't. what to test next? matt

I have the exact same problem in v4 in windows. extension 101 DOES have rights to intercom to 111. (*) Yet 111 just rings instead. (no, there is NOT 2 extensions registered on either extension) Some extension work, some don't. I'm a bit frustrated by this problem because there is never a resolution. Could we nail it down? i would really like to resolve. thanks matt

Good to hear a solution! I will say this: most "pbxnsip" issues I encounter are actually network or pc issues! ;-) Matt

There is someone working on a tool to do this --- http://forum.pbxnsip.com/index.php?showtopic=3268&hl I haven't heard an update but it should be a winner if it works as advertised! I do agree a simple tool like this would be great for pbxnsip to have in their own stable as it would underline the tightness of pbxnsip and Windows. See my thinking on power of the Microsoft message here: http://windowspbx.blogspot.com/2010/02/pbx...integrates.html matt

very good to know. matt

#1- it appears i can't add a music on hold .wav file without logging onto the O/S of the pbxnsip server? Shouldn't there be a browse button to add? #2- also, should a domain admin be able to add music using a similar method? thanks Matt

all good points. matt

Email troubleshoot with Exchange: -can another windows client send email using same credentials? -if so--turn up pbxnsip logging to 9, turn "log mail events" loggin on and send an email by going to an extension | email | click on "Click here to send the welcome email again." The logging is very detailed and will tell you exactly what didn't work. I just used it. for exchange 2010 we have encryption=automatic in pbxnsip email setup. matt

yeah, i was thinking how that the firewall might be involved. matt

the alternative appears to be each pbx admin creating a list on their own. why not share the data? ;-) i have to agree there are endless sources of attacks though. I alone have endless sources...! ;-) #1-is there any mechanism to import a list of IPs to black list into pbxnisp? #2-is there a simple way to block a specific country? Matt

i still dont think outlook will solve this problem. for example: i want to get an update when someone ATTEMPTS to dial a certain Pattern. I have a dial rule that wont let them, but how do i get notified when someone TRIES? Matt

you look suspicously like a spammer? (considering the signature) But...if your not: -pbx is typically a business phone system -voip is generally a more broad term that means "voice over IP"

yes

I'm curious if there is a web based service that listed IP addresses blacklisted for SIP hacking attempts? It would be great if we could auto-submit and have our pbx be auto updated with others. Or am I out on a limb? Matt

kludgy? let me check it. one problem is inability to trigger on lots of things...such as what the person tried to dial, etc. what extension it came from, etc, etc. This is not a deal breaker, but I think would be useful. matt

For example, if there is an outgoing call between say 1am and 6am i want an email to the pbxnsip admin AND my cell phone. I want to specifiy what is sent: ip address of extension, extension #, number attempted, etc. This is just an example. Basically ability to trap for a combination of events and send an email to someone other than the admin when that trap is triggered. matt

if you are able to get this data from cdr's, there is another pbxnsip reseller who is writting a small tool to send cdrs to MS SQL. From there you should be able to write a MS SRS report with chart, whatever. matt

one thing that seems kind of tacky/cludgy--ocassionally when i try to login to the web admin for pbxnsip the login credentials don't work the first time and then the next time they do. Is there a way to avoid this? it seems extremely finicky to tell client they need to login twice. matt
