spidersden Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I upgraded SnomONE to Beta Corona Austrinids (version 4.5.0.1030 on CentOS 64) last night and now see that on the login screen for the PBX, the "Console" login-type is gone. Due to extreme limitations with the snom Vision operator panels, our operators rely very heavily on the WAC. How can I get them logged in to this? I couldn't find any mention of this functionality being removed in the release notes. It's great that you show all the new features and bug fixes, but if you're removing major functionality from the PBX, that probably should be mentioned as well. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbx support Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Due to few issues the WAC was causing on the PBX, we decided to discontinue it. We are working on a windows based attended console at the moment as a substitute for WAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidersden Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 We are working on a windows based attended console at the moment as a substitute for WAC. "We're working on something better" is great; glad to hear that. What's the release date? What exactly are my operators supposed to do for presence monitoring in the mean time? This? The snom phone application We have desk phones. We don't need to dial numbers from our computer. Our operators need to be able to see if User X is on another call before transferring someone to them. Our attendants used the WAC simply to see if we had users on another call or not. Not a lot of other features worked in it. I saw the other forum postings; it's unsupported, we're working on something better, and I accepted that. But replacing partially functioning code with a promise that you're working on something else is not a good way to keep a customer happy. And doing so without warning is an even worse idea. We've got more than 70 Snom 870 phones deployed in our facility with a blue license for SnomONE. The Snom Vision, marketed as an operator panel, flat doesn't work for a company our size. So we've made due with the WAC, while waiting for the Vision to be improved to the point that it would actually be useful. Now we're left with Visions that don't do much good, and no WAC. So what are my options here? I'd love to see a PM on how to re-enable the WAC. Hopefully I can customize some htm files and bring it back to life for our deployment. If it's not that simple, what can we use for centralized busy/idle status monitoring on 70+ phones? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlandis Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 i agree with all your logic. there is someone that make a sip based attendantconsole that is compatible with snomone/pbxnsip. i can't think iof the name right now...perhap snom can help? (the option i'm thinking of DOES cost) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the option i'm thinking of DOES cost) This'n? Voice Operator Panel It definitely costs. If there's a beta version of the PAC (assuming it's different from the snom phone application), I'd be willing to give it a try. Just need _something_ that shows idle/busy for the operators. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattlandis Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 if pac v1 is available and still works, it should work for your purposes. snom might know the location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 if pac v1 is available and still works, it should work for your purposes. snom might know the location. The last PBXnSIP PAC does not work with 4.5, it would not load any extensions. You can still change password, etc, but no monitoring.

spidersden Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks Steve & Matt. I appreciate your responses and advice. Are there any other suggestions on monitoring on-call extensions? Any SOAP calls I could pop from a web server? A newer beta of the PAC? I've scheduled a maintenance window to downgrade SnomONE this evening unless a suitable solution can be found to hold us over until a working PAC is available.

pbx support Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 The new attendant console is not ready for primetime or beta at this moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonny Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Can I hope that the new attendant console is windows based en NOT 'Windows' based ?? It would be great if snom was looking further then Windows OS and makes it a cross platform solution. Tnx Fonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
