  1. snom provisioning files

    in Extension Setup

    Posted

    Can someone post the snom provisioning files that belong in the html folder?

     

    Am I missing something about where the provisioning files for various phone types are posted? They don't install with the pbxnsip software install, they aren't posted in the wiki - and I can only find some files attached in various forum topics.

     

    It seems to me the default provisioning files - xml, txt files, etc - should be posted along with the info about each phone vendor in the wiki. Sure would make provisioning new phones easier when we buy one from a new manufacturer instead of having to hunt around and ask around piecing the files together.

    hi,

     

    all the snom files that were required were automatically in place for me.

    and my snom360 phones provisioned fine first go.

  5. LDAP

    in Windows-related Topics

    Posted

    Many thanks for your reply, I understand, it is a large topic. So to make it simple let me rephrase what I need.

     

    All phones are LinkSys SPA962/SPA942

    PBX is running under WinBox

     

    Idealy, I would like PBX to generate whatever it need in order to have all SPA phones to reade and display Company directory.

     

    My experience has been if you want to have all features work on a sip phone, sometimes you have to limit what phone you buy. Advanced features=advanced phone? Something like that.

     

    I've found that snom seems to utilize advanced features the most universally. (in differenct soft ip pbxes)

     

    My finding.

  6. call barge/listen/whisper doesn't work?

    in Extension Setup

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I have a callcenter license. (according to kevin) I have Version: 3.1.2.3120 (Win32) .

     

    I have set ext. 101 to be administrator and have given ext. 101 supervision permissions. (all set to on)

     

    In all the trunks i have put 101 in "Permissions to monitor this account:"

     

    In the account (175) I want to monitor i have 101 in "Permissions to monitor this account:"

     

    Now when ext 175 is on the phone I dial *83 (i've also tried *83175) on ext 101. I get "this feature is not available at this time" message.

     

    What am I missing?

  8. Instant Messaging SIP/SIMPLE

    I should say there appears to be one final issue with xlite/pbxnsip.

    When xlite goes into idle detect, after that it appears that presence stops indicating right untill xlite reregistered.

     

    Otherwise its fine.

     

    matt

    ps-let me add to my finding: it appears if xlite is in the autodetect and goes idle status and is there for several minutes it stops showing status and needs to be restarted (sip re-registered)

    I'm testing that config...

    (i'm hopeful, as it went 5 minutes and still works... ;-)

     

    BTW: VERY nice, clear, straightforward WIKI article...

     

    matt

     

    Its been working for 25 minutes now so I'm going to presume it WORKS.

     

    I would like to say a very appreciative THANKS.

     

    I would like to say that the DND question I asked isn't nearly soo important now that xlite presence works because setting DND on the xlite lets everyone know via presence that phone is DND.

     

    Once again, I'm impressed with pbxnsip and thanks.

  13. Dynamically changing a scheduled flag

    in Service Flags

    Posted

    For many years small PBX's simply had a NIGHT button. "Press it, your gone"

     

    When PBX's got an Automated attendant added, they got schedules too. M-F 8 to 5 were business hours. Outside of that the Autoattendent gave the away message.

     

    If you were at the attendant phone extension you saw the red NIGHT light. Press the Button and Voila' you flipped to being open..... Work a bit, and press the Night button again and it goes RED again. Forget to press it, and it doesn't flip to night mode again until the following day at 5:00 per the schedule.

     

    Press the night mode at 4:55pm and it goes to night mode and when 5:00pm arrives it set the flag again, (already set) so nothing happens.

     

    It's really that simply, don't over complicate the process as people forgetting simply is a people problem and you can't fix that with technology.

     

    Again, I've yet to see a scheduled flag be reset from an extension that's given the ability.

     

    Logging Flag changes would be good.

     

    Hi,

     

    we have a day/night flag. if i dial its account # 76 it does NOT change the flag.

    (although it gives the audio indication that it did change)

  14. should I try to put my fax inside pbxnsip network?

    in Auto Attendant Setup

    Posted

    We all know that T.38 is not a masterpiece with regards to simplicity and interoperability and features like encryption are still missing. If you are a pragmatic guy and your business cards printed a DID number that correspond to a specific cable coming out of the wall - yes I would plug that straight into the FAX. Or if you are a real pragmatic guy and you are running the PBX in the LAN you say so what and skip the whole T.38 part and just use G.711 to the FAX. The LAN does not loose packets.

     

    The only case where you really need T.38 is when you want to run the FAX over a line that does drop packets, e.g. when using a ITSP service or having the FAX in a remote office. Then you have no big choice - T.38 is the way to go. Hopefully your ITSP supports T.38 already.

     

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for that input.

    This is my design:

     

    pstn phone line #xxx-xxxx ---> patton4114 pstn gateway ---> pbxnsip ---> patton m-ata ----> fax machine

     

    -we want to use fax machine for incoming and outgoing faxes

    -when fax machine not in use we use that line for calls

     

    Do we setup in patton4114 pstn gatway to send the fax it detects to patton m-ata?

    or do we detect fax in pbxnsip ivr?

    Hi,

     

    We have a patton 4114 gateway and 4 pstn lines.

    1 of those is ocassionally used by our fax machine. (a true fax machine someone can walk up to)

    We need to keep the fax machine.

     

    Will I fiddle a lot or can i get a t.38 fxs/ata and have the AA detect and forward to fax machine?

    Also outgoing faxes?

     

    Would be nice but I don't want to fiddle and fiddle. Also, does someone have ATA/fXS they recommend?

    (I would use a patton m-ata, if no suggestions)

     

    thanks for your very valued opnion,

    matt

  16. Display PBX system time.

    in General Setup

    Posted

    You can only see the uptime. The local time can be seen approximately by the green line in the status page in those pictures (6-minute precision).

     

    Hi,

     

    thanks for that reply. I'll admit i can't lay my eyes on the 8minute +/- indication? probably me...

     

    I would suggest the pbxnsip server time be somewhere on the status page as a feature request.

    That way you know if your night mode will kick in at the right time and other reasons...

     

    thanks,

    matt

  18. where is the cdr tool?

    in CDR

    Posted

    Yes. Windows locks this file because PBX is using it. Until the file is closed you can not view it. For performance reasons, Open & Close all the time was not used.

     

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for that info.

     

    How do I "unlock" that file?

    Seems like that limits the ability to give real/or semi-real time stats on the phone system?

     

    thanks,

    Matt

  19. Instant Messaging SIP/SIMPLE

    in General Setup

    Posted

    You mean because the phone gets idle? That sounds like a feature to me. IMHO the whole hype around presence is completely over. I understand IM is useful, but I never understood what presence should be good for. My productivy dropped like a stone when people saw that I became online. Hiding my presence is a feature! :)

     

    No, it does not get idle. It just stops indicating correctly.

     

    Testing this requires only one xlite. Setup the xlite correctly, add YOURSELF as a contact. (change the availabliity and watch it change down in the contacts to make sure it works) Change it a couple times to verify to your self it works...now wait several minutes and change it....it will not change down in the contact list.

    (watch 3-5 minutes...upon further testing it now has been working for 6 minutes and counting...seems random when it stops...)

     

    I'm not sure who is dropping the ball: us or xlite?

     

    On presence:

    For remote users this is not micky mouse...it can save time...why bother calling, waiting till vm answers if the person isn't even there or on the phone? Same with IM, why IM him if he's out shoveling snow? ;-) (and remember xlite has nice privacy features for those you DONT want to show availability ;-)

     

    I think we are pretty close to having working presence.

     

    Thanks

    Yes, If i have the person as a contact in xlite, and have "show the contacts availablility" the presense works for a couple minutes then stops...

     

    matt

     

    i thot it was after xlite presence idle timeout, but i set it to 1440 minutes and still stopped showing presence after several minutes...

     

    If I reregister sip (or log off/on xlite) it will indicate for a few minutes again.

    Now that you have Xlite working, try presence! The presence works with the address book. As far as I remember the trick was that the presence is not peer to peer, it runs the the PBX as agent.

    Yea, we removed it. If you run version 3.2, you can just put "file:cdr.txt" into the SOAP CDR URL field and you'll get nicely formatted files in the file system.

     

    I've done this but I can't access the resulting file because it is always in use.

     

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

    if u look at the thread..... I have been waiting almost 6 mths for an answer.... :)

    let's just hope someone.... is monitoring this thread!

     

    It would be good if someone from pbxnsip can give all of us some answers....

     

    Hi,

     

    I am impressed that pbxnsip does instant messaging. The xlite client is pretty nice for a simple messaging. Only thing I wish for is that it would allow group chat (back and forth between a group).

     

    But It makes a nice,simple SMB chat server that can grow into pbx deal.

     

    But presence would be nice.
