Wim van Ommen Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Did I understand correctly that pbxnsip supports IM through SIP/SIMPLE? Because I tried to set this up via the SIP/SIMPLE plugin for pidgin/adium and they both fail to connect. So first question: Does pbxnsip support SIP/SIMPLE Second: should it work with pidgin/adium? Third: If yes how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 The SIMPLE support is very simple. The PBX practically works like a SIP proxy in this case, it just takes a MESSAGE request and sends it to all registered user agents. There is no store/forward. I would say, register the device and give it a try. So far I have seen it working with Counterpath (did not try anything else). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim van Ommen Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 It would be nice if it would also work with pidging/adium, they are just chat clients and thus only support SIP/SIMPLE and not a full SIP stack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a LOG with the SIP messages? No problem if they don't support other messages, they only need to support REGISTER, MESSAGE and properly reject incoming INVITE messages (e.g. with 500 Not Implemented).

Wim van Ommen Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I looked into the debug log of Adium and found that is is registering with the wrong credentials its using usernamehost@null instead of username@host, it seems Pidgin does work on my linux box. So, thanks so far. I posted a message on their forum to get it fixed on their side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPNOX Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I have tested xlite with my pbxnsip for message chatting..... no issues... However, I would like to know How to get the correct "presense information" displayed on the other party? I do not see the icon change in xlite from something offline to online... regardless of whether the other party is registered or not.... regards FY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see the icon change in xlite from something offline to online... regardless of whether the other party is registered or not.... For that you need to put the party into the contacts list. There you can also see your own presence status. We tried it, and it works okay. The PBX is just a relay of the status, not looking into it.

IPNOX Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Is it the Free Xlite client not supporting this feature? Do I have to use the paid version i.e. Bria or eyebeam to get the presence properly displayed? Coz I did as per what u mentioned add each other to our respective contact list....but yet its still greyed... We have no issues doing message chat.......but the presense just not right...... regards FY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPNOX Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Guys, I just found that by changing your SIP Account Settings -> Presence Tab .... 1) Mode = "Presence Agent" 2) Poll Time = 5 secs 3) Refresh Interval = 1800 Secs It WORKS!!!!!!! I have attached a screen shot..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPNOX Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 hi guys, after much testing.... I find changing the settings to "Presence Agent" does not help either.... The status is online updated correctly upon startup..... any other time its not working right.... Please advice... regards FY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPNOX Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Anyway or anywhere I can generate a log for you to review? either on the pbxnsip or the xlite? I'm happy to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlandis Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 hi, has anyone gotten the xlite presence to consistently work? tx matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPNOX Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 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. matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 But presence would be nice. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I reregister sip (or log off/on xlite) it will indicate for a few minutes again. matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlandis Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two settings in Xlite for this in the presence tab... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
