  1. Hello,

     

    in the Section "Night Service" (Agent Group Setup) there is an option called "When primary agents are logged out, send calls to...". Works fine, so we do not need to use the Service Flags ("who cares to operate it? Is still anyone available to take calls or not? and so on"). Better to use this nice feature and if last agent is logging out, the calls will go to the Mailbox automatically.

     

    When we've used the Service Flags in the past, we were able to see the Night Service Status on BLF. Is there any possibility to do this with the above feature, too? (Visualize if all agents are logged out?)

     

    If not, is it possible at least to see if a specific extension is logged in or not?

     

    Regards,

  2. Hi,

     

    ich bin jetzt mehrfach alles durchgegangen und finde keinen Fehler. Ich denke im Ruf Schema kann es auch nicht liegen.

    Wenn ich nämlich 10 auf eine Durchwahl für ein Telefon setze läutet es wenn jemand anruft.

    Die Hunt Group allerdings nimmt nie etwas entgegen wenn ich dieser die 10 zuweise.

    Hat da jemand eine Idee für mich?

     

    Danke

    Samy

     

    Also wenn ich das recht verstanden habe, funktioniert die Durchwahl 10 dann, wenn eine Nebenstelle die Rufnummer 10 hat (Telefon läutet, wenn man die von außen die Durchwahl 10 ruft). Und wenn statt der Nebenstelle eine Hunt Group die 10 als interne Nummer bekommt, funktioniert's nicht mehr.

     

    Stellt sich die Frage, was passiert, wenn man intern (also von einer anderen Nebenstelle) die Hunt Group mit der 10 anruft. Funktioniert das wenigstens? Wenn nein, liegt es nicht an der Rufverteilung, sondern den Einstellungen der Hunt Group (z. B. ServiceFlag gesetzt und Nachtschaltungsziel falsch oder nicht gesetzt etc.)

  3. Check your inbox.

    Any information I should know? I've the same problem with PBXnSIP. Regardless which Streaming Software I use (I've followed all the steps of your instructions exactly) I always get terrible noise when selecting the RTP Source an listen to the MOH. Music Streaming itself should be no problem as I'm able to receive Audio with VLC at the Machine where the PBX is installed. I wonder, why I also get this noise even in case the streaming source is stopped, regardless of the Port specified in the pbx (yes, I restarted service upon changing the port).

     

    Best regards,

  4. Hello,

     

    we use the DISA-Feature every day on all our windows mobile phones. There is a excellent Software, called Magicall (http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html), so we never have to care about DTMF-Dialling, PIN and more. When we dial a number with the mobile phone (regardless if number is manual entered, call-back from call-history or from contacts) Magicall cares about dialling into the pbx with caller-id enabled only for that call, pbx detects the mobile phone, grants access, so the mobile phone has to dial only "1" for the outside line and dialling the destination number with DTMF, followed by '#'. Of course, the mobile phone user doesn't have to care about this at all. Just have to wait a few seconds upon this fully automatic dialling in the background is finished and the call is established. It works perfect!

     

    Another (and much more efficient) way would be "block-dialling", also called overlap-dialling (https://www.vc.dfn.de/en/video-conferencing/ways-of-access/isdn.html). A few years ago, a german Least-Cost-Provides offered the following service and I'm sure the PBX could do this too in future. You just call the access phone number of the provider (or your pbx), directly add the destination phone number and then press 'dial' on your Mobile phone. For example: Access phone number of the provider / your PBX is +49 211 1234 and destination number you want to be conneted to is 0897654321, so you dial +4921112340897654321. The service provider recognized your mobile phone (and charges your prepaid-account), gets the digits '0897654321' (like DDI-dialling) and connects directly to the destination number. No greeting, no PIN and(!) no answer of the call before destination number is answering. Once the destination number is answering, the pbx answers the mobile call and put both calls together. If not, PBX does not answer the call thus you don't have to pay for this call at all. Very nice, if you call from abroad. Annoying if you are charged for every call to the provider/pbx, even the destination number is not answering afterwards.

     

    Unfortunately this service-provider stopped this great service long time ago. But I think that's not a huge work to do this with the PBX. For now I can dial any 'long DDI' (this works for domestic calls with at least 30 digits here in germany). Any such long number is detected infull length the SIP-Trace, so I is just a question of programming to get this 'DDI-information' and forward it to the DISA-Service for further processing.

  5. Hello,

     

    I would like to have different greetings depending on the current call (Transfer to Mailbox because extension was busy / Transfer to Mailbox because no answer / Transfer to Mailbox manually / Transfer to Mailbox because DND).

     

    Is it either possible to set up more mailboxes, but collect all recordings to ONE mailbox, so it isn't necessary to collect recordings from different mailboxes?

    Or is it possible to transfer the call to the mailbox in such a way the greeting is selected by transferring to special destination (e. g. Mailbox extension is 123, transferring the call to 123*1 plays Greeting #1, transferring the call to 123*2 plays Greeting #2 and so on)?

     

    Currently the call is redirected on busy / no answer / manually to one and the same mailbox extension 123. But the caller really doesn't know why he reaches the mailbox. The greeting can only be universal "You have reached the mailbox because either the person is busy, not at his/her desk or in a meeting". Not very good.

  6. Yes, you can use your pbxnsip key with snom ONE. You will get the snom ONE limitations on non-snom devices though.

     

     

    That sounds really interesting. What about an Office Pro 25? Which Version of Snom One I will get with that key? And, are Dongle-Licenses supported by Snom One?

     

    Regards,

  7. Check your trunks. If you don't have an outbound proxy set, the PBX will accept calls on such a trunk. This is called "ENUM" and it is hard to tell the difference between an ENUM call and fraud.

    Thank you for your reply. Is the outbound proxy the one you told about? It was already set, so the question is still what about this strange 'asterisk' extension in the call history?

  8. Hello Everyone,

     

    obviously someone has hacked a PBX of our customers. There are a lot of fraud long-distance calls in the call history. Fortunately the damage isn't very much, as the Trunk is Prepaid. But now I'm really worry, because the Hacker didn't hacked the trunk account directly. He came into the pbx in a way I cannot understand. The attached call history tells me there were made calls from an extension called test (asterisk) but we do not have such an extension. There are a lot of calls to almost the same number 00442073479999 during the whole night. Searching this number by Google results in being a popular number for fraud. For my point of view I can only imagine, that the hacker logged into administrator account of the pbx, created a extension and made those calls and delete the extension afterwards. But this seems to be implausible.

     

    So my questions are: Does the PBX have a backdoor (pre-programmed extension) a hacker could use? Unfortunately I only have this call history and no other information. Is there a log-file telling me all sucessful and failed login attempts? Does the blacklist apply only on failed SIP-Registrations or also on failed Web-Login?

     

    As an emergency procedure we set all Dial plans to PIN Enabled (except those calls which are covered by flat-rate, which are the most calls).

  9. Hello everybody,

     

    when I call my mailbox I'd like to be informed about the time of each recording. But when I set the option 'Play Envelope Information' I always have to wait for the lenghty caller's number. By pressing '#' the system wont skip the envelope information only but the whole message so I have no option rather than wait a half minute to hear the whole envelope information include the caller's number.

     

    Does anyboy knows either

    - how to setup the pbx, to play only the time of the recording as envelope information

    - which button to press in order to skip the envelope information, starting playback of the message immediately?

     

    Best regards,

     

    Lucas Hummig

  10. Did you try "5" (play envelope information)?

    We use the feature "Play envelope information before playing the mailbox message" in Domain Settings. Works fine, but how to skip the Envelope Message occasionally? By pressing '#' the whole message is skipped. Is there any Input for just skipping the envelope information and starting immediately the message?

     

    Regards,

  11. Update: Seems to be a problem with the certificate itself. Tried to install another certificate (from my IIS7). This is accepted by the pbx and works (but invalid due to the wrong domain of course). I will request a new certificate but don't know how to get the PBX's certificate request I need to issue a new cert. How to get it?

  12. By default it comes with a self-signed certificate. I believe it might even have expired... In version 4, you can load a certificate either globalls or for a specific domain. If you want to load a domain certificate, then the client must support the TLS extension that tells the PBX which domain the request goes to. So if you have just one domain, it is problably easier to just load a global certificate.

     

    With the certificate you must also load the private key. The certificate may contain a certificate chain; so that you include the certificate that the PBX should use for encryption, but also the other certificates that signed the certificate. For example, if you buy a certificate from Verisign, then you can include the Root CA from Verisign (which practically everybody trusts), maybe some intermediate certificates and finally the certificate of the PBX. Everything in this ----BEGIN---- base64-encoded form.

    I've spent hours to get the pbx running with certificates, but without success. I've copied the certificates (Base64) into the upper section 'Certificates' and the Private Key into 'Private Key'. After clicking 'Save' I see 'Starfield Secure Certification Authority' above the Text Field 'Certificates' along with a 'delete'-icon which might show a successful upload of the certificate. After rebooting the pbx, https access is no longer possible at all. It is really not a problem of browser certificate errors only. The browser won't get a https-connection to the pbx at all. But with http I get access the pbx again, in order to delete the certificate.

     

    I wonder why the xml-file in the certificate folder of the pbx doesn't contain the private key. Is this normal? What about the domain section of the xml file? Does it match anything with the domain of the pbx? In this section we see 'Starfield Secure Certification Authority'

     

    Any idea?

  13. That's the same on our system. It's definitely a bug, because the number is shown when you choose in the Group's configuration to show only the caller-ID without Group name. Some of my Snom-Phones have a large Display. During Ring-state the Caller ID is shown in the bottom line of the telephone Display. But as soon as I lift the receiver this number is being replaced to the number the caller has dialed.

     

    I've opened a Support-Ticket #OIT-521482, but not solved yet. Obviously the 'From'-Field (SIP-Trace) has been changed from V3 to V4:

     

    V3-SIP Command:

    From: "GroupABC: (01234567890)" ;tag=60047

     

    V4-SIP Command:

    From: "GroupABC:" ;tag=60047

     

    If someone has an idea if there is any possibility to manually edit the From-Command, please let us know.

     

    Regards from Germany

    Lucas

     

    OK. Solved now. (Better reading all replies before adding comments)

     

    This was the solution:

     

    "This was a kind of workaround because most phones display only the "From" information, but you want to see who is being called. In a perfect world, the SIP phone would do the job and display both from and to. "

  14. When I set a hunt group to Group name (Calling Party) in version 4, I only get Group name except when we get an anonymous call, then I get Group name (Anonymous), any idear what might be causing this and how we can fix it?

    Everything worked fine in version 3.

  15. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle parking and holding calls. My customers currently have either key systems or PSTN lines with off the shelf 2 - 4 line phones. I'm looking to switch them to hosted VoIP using PBXNSIP.

     

    Right now when they place someone on hold on say line 1 the light next to the line 1 button blinks and they hang up the phone. They do what they have to do (look up an answer to a question or go to the bathroom - whatever) and press the line 1 button to retrieve the call.

     

    I understand the concept of parking calls, but in order to make this easy for clients to transition to - what is the best practice for setting up call parking in small organizations that are used to placing a line on hold. Is there a way to have say 4 parking orbit accounts (service flag accounts? - as not to waste extension licenses) associated with a function key and you press the one labeled Park 1 the light comes on showing somebody in the orbit and then going to another phone pressing the Park 1 button on that phone retrieves the call. Sometimes if someone is inundated with work they may park the call and not remember either what extension or phone they parked to or from, not to mention it's easier to press one button instead of keying in *85300. This is where a little blinking button-light may come in handy. I've had this happen where I'm the only one in the office and have 2 or 3 people in the office and 2 lines on hold. I've seen multiple forum posts on this but no really good solution.

     

    My other question is in regards to Agent Groups. I'm coming from an Allworx system myself and when a call would come in, if one of us couldn't pick up the call it would go into a call queue where the caller would hear music and it would ring all of the phones simultaneously until we could answer the call in the queue. When I set it up on PBXNSIP the queue rings all of the phones in order, but by the time it gets from extension 400 to extension 405 it has already rang 6 times to the customer before it rings once at ext 405. Also it rings on the caller's side instead of playing MOH if all of the phones aren't occupied. I know if the phones assiged to the queue are all busy it plays MOH, but not all cases are sales offices or offices at all.

     

    1. Is there a way to make it so that it rings all of the phones simultaneously so that if you have one 1 guy somewhere in the office and he can't hear the other phones from where he is, his rings right away. Keep in mind this guy could be anywhere in the building so while one day it may be ext 405 the next it may be ext 422. Point being all the available phones should start ringing at the same time.

     

    2. Is there a way to have the caller hear MOH instead of ringing

     

    In some places: auto shops for example you may have 1 mechanic working and covering the phones while everyone else is out to lunch. Customer calls and the mechanic is under a car can't get to the phone in time so it goes to the queue. It's going to be a minute before he can get to the phone so the customer hears constant ringing instead of MOH and a "your call is important to us" message because the mechanic is not necessarily on the phone, he's just busy and cannot get to it right away. The Allworx system in this case would keep ringing on the mechanics side, but the client would hear MOH so they know they're techincally on hold and not being ignored.

     

    In the case above we can't really have all of the phones except for the shop phone logged out or on DND. What if the call comes in and he happens to be in the parts room getting a part, or in the office looking up a repair procedure. The point is he may be moving around and the phones in those offices need to be active so he can hear them ring.

     

    Sorry for the long post, just trying to illustrate the scenario.

     

    Thanks for any advice you can offer :),

    Hello,

     

    quite easy:

     

    [1]

     

    Under:

     

    Accounts/Edit Agent Group/Algorithm/Number of agents added per stage

     

    - set the number of phones which should be ring from the first moment

     

    [2]

     

    Under:

     

    Accounts/Edit Agent Group/Ringback tone

     

    - choose "no ringback tone, continue to play music"

     

    Best regards,

  16. Another question:

     

    Will it be possible to transfer a call directly to the MS Exchange UM Voicemail? Currently this works only by wasting additional extensions (licences!), which are set to "turn on Mailbox immediately". Transferring directly to the Exchange Trunk to doesn't work as Exchange will answer the call with "Welcome to MS Exchange, please enter Extension..." instead of routing the call to the appropriate UM-Mailbox because MSExch only looks to the "Forwarded from"-Tag which is the Ext-No. of the Switchboard, the call will be transferred from.

     

    A solution would be a setting "Select From-Field when transferring a call: From=To"

  17. First of all, check out http://wiki.pbxnsip.com/index.php/FAX.

     

    If the service provider supports T.38 then that's a good start. But both ends need to support T.38. Fortunately, most SIP ATA support T.38 today.

     

    Exchange is a difficult topic. I know some people got it working; but it is not easy.

     

    There is also another post of available FAX software (see http://forum.pbxnsip.com/index.php?showtopic=1316). It is also worth a try.

    Sorry for the delayed feedback. I didn't got informed about your answer and stumled today over it. Let me ask you something:

     

    As the service provider does support T.38 by contract and the ATA definitely supports T.38 I'm searching the problem in the matter described at our WIKI:

     

    As soon as the receiver detects that the sender wants to send a fax, it tries to re-negotiate the used codec to T.38. With this change comes a change of the used ports, as the T.38 actually does not even use RTP.

     

    I do see that the AA detects the CNG Tone and "dial" the F which cause ringing the Fax ATA. But where (which log level / which messages to track) to check if the re-negotiaton to codec T.38 and change of the used ports happened or failed? Any special settings on the PBX necessary?

     

    Again, in the list of codecs I do not find T.38 but this seems to be normal, isn't it?

  18. Hello,

     

    in order to intercom to another extension I need permissions in my extension to which accounts I'm allowed to intercom. No problem so far. Now I need to Intercom from outside (Parent's control over children). This doesn't work due to missing permissions when coming over the Auto Attendand. If I call the AA from my (privileged) extension it works fine, but not if coming from PSTN.

     

    Note: To prevent misuse I've set the direct destination at the AA to an 6 digit Number...

     

    Any idea? Setting the ANI to the extension with the privileges doesn't work. Any global setting disabling any restriction for intercom?

  19. I'm having a hard time getting the intercom feature to work on snom handsets. for example, extension 600, i dial *90600 it should auto pick up that phone. instead, it just rings the extension.

    Any one have any input?

    I've had the same problem. But solved it by setting the Snom-Phone to:

    Setup/Advanced/Behaviour/Enable Intercom = yes

     

    Or by butting the following command into my snom_3xx_custom.xml

     

    <settings>

    <phone-settings e="2">

    <intercom_enabled perm="">on</intercom_enabled>

    </phone-settings>

    </settings>

     

    Hope this will help you, too.

     

    Regards,

  20. Interesting... There were cases when the counter was "on the edge" where the PBX made trouble. I thought those cases were fixed; seems like we have to put this on the bug radar again.

    After some weeks of operation, we can confirm, that the described problem never recured since decreasing the number of extensions to 9 (and keeping 1 extension unused). Hope we can use all extensions of licence in V4.
