Version 4 RC

[Vodia PBX]

Thanks all for all helping us to test the various beta versions, this temendeously helped us testing the system out in all kinds of environments that we can never test in a lab environment. We feel that we can make the final turn for release.

 

There are still issues open, some minor and some great ideas what we should add. However further holding back the release seems like a mistake to us. The current state provides with the best stability and feature set ever. Then after release we can continue working on new features and start the release cycle for version 5.

 

We also have some 500 pages of documentation ready for this release. We will post the links seperately. Also, this time we have put the release notes into a PowerPoint presentation and we will also make this available shortly.

it looks like a great job, BUT this RC stops running on our server (Windows Server 2009) a few seconds after the admin login. v3 has beenrunning super stable so far on the very same machine.

We you should be able to run it on 2008. Maybe there is some issue then. We will look into it.

Can you re-download the windows version & see?

We are working on some timer issue on the Mac version. Once it is resolved, we will publish it.

One more thing folks need to know is that if you are an older(say from 3.0.x) license key, you may run into issues on 4.0 versions. You may need to check with the sales/marketing group to sort this issue out.

nice cannot wait really looking forward

 

thanx

Oops, something else was listening on port 80. Maybe PBXnSIP could write to the log this error. That would have clued me in. Working fine now.

[mattlandis]

how the port handling on install is done is a little unintuitive.

It does write to the file - something line "Could not bind to port 80..."

Hi,

 

I have some PnP problems with the new version 4.0.1.3499, my Snom 300 and 320 (fw 8.2.29) phones are not provisioned correctly anymore:

 

I cannot set the VLAN ID anymore via the PBXNSIP webinterface, the field is gone on the PnP tab.

 

Also the Pin for Administrator is not working, it doesn't matter what is configured, the phone will be provisioned with "1234".

 

And even the web password needed for access to the Snom webinterface is not provisioned to the phone so I cannot access it anymore due to authentication failure. The password provisioned from the snom_3xx_phone.xml placed into the generated directory is not working to get webaccess to the phone...

 

The last thing I have noticed about provisioning is that the language on my phones is set to english, the phones are not picking up the dutch language anymore? When set logging to 8 I see the following error message in PBXNSIP:

[8] 2010/05/01 15:15:26: Received request for file snom/gui_lang_NL.xml

[8] 2010/05/01 15:15:26: Error finding snom/gui_lang_NL.xml, Send back 404 Not Found

And the files are still there...

 

Another problem with the assigned buttons is that the agent login/logout button is not working anymore.

With the 3.4 release of PBXNSIP this was a toggle button to login to or logout of the assigned agent group but now only the led is showing the status and the button is not working anymore.

 

Does anyone know how to handle these problems?

 

Kind regards,

 

Rene.

IE 8 seems to render the WAC correct.

 

Is it Just me? or does the WAC not render correctly on IE 7 and safari?

[mattlandis]

Also on RC, I can't seem to change the DND status and agent status from the xml menu on the the snom phone.

 

matt

 

update--once i upgrade to v8 now the DND works, but agent status xml doesn't.

[mattlandis]

also, not to be complaining, but on the WAC icons: are my eyes bad? or can anyone else read DND, AG and Busy? almost need to pull out the manual to see what they are telling us? Just a suggestion.

 

Matt

[mattlandis]

feedback--i love the phone handset experience when the WAC dials another extension: it beeps your own extension and starts ringing right away. Very nice user experience. cool.

 

The WAC UI for dialing still requires help- first you when you position your mouse over the little red triangle the cursor turns to a four-way arrow (move cursor) , then when you click on "Initiate Call" there is no visual/or any indication you clicked it correct. You tend to do it twice then you have 2 calls going to the same ext...not good UI or UX.

 

I was wondering how you will get a good UI/UX on the WAC using web. I think you are actually getting there. So- very cool. The big benefit is that the WAC works on Mac, Linux and basically what ever...so that is really good.

just some feedback

[mattlandis]

The "more" and "less" buttons on WAC, should they work?

 

Matt

[mattlandis]

on the WAC (with IE8, only browser that roughly works for me with WAC) on the "Actions" menu for "My Calls". How do I get the menu to say down so I can click on option? Every so often if i double click it stays down...

 

Matt

[mattlandis]

in the user manual it says on the WAC i should be able to drag my extension into a conference. Is there a trick to this? doesnt seem to work for me.

 

matt

[mattlandis]

WAC parking:

call parking using WAC menu. it calls back the extension doing the parking on another line? kinda weird--probably not intentional? Also same not so good UI/UX (user experience) in that menu ...u don't know you actually clicked the menu.

 

also would be good to indicate the parked call on the WAC? Ideally a way to handle the calls.

 

Matt

[mattlandis]

feedback: on the http://localhost/usr_feature_codes.htm page, there are little 1,2,3 superscripts notices--but no definition of what they mean at the bottom. small suggestion.
