I’ve got some users reporting an odd problem.

Once in a while, their Polycom phones ring and they are unable to answer
them… any of them.

When they pick up the handset, all of the phones continue to ring. Same thing
happens if they grab a different phone. They aren’t reporting any out-bound
issues.

I don’t see anything in the logs, and the phones remain registered.

They can’t reproduce the symptoms on demand, but it seems like it’s happening
more frequently, lately.

Any ideas?

Is it possible to make Asterisk jump into action and play a sound file as soon as a handset is lifted, instead of providing a Dial Tone and waiting for the user to dial an extension.

With analog phones (chan_dahdi) – you just have to set ‘immediate = yes’ in chan_dahdi.conf , with a SIP phone: that’s something to configure the handset for, as it only sends out a call once you “dialed”.

Hi,

On a brand new system, I met an issue I’ve never met before.

My setup is :
debian 6.0.3
asterisk 1.8.8.1
dahdi 2.6.0
libpri 1.4.12
freepbx 2.9.0.4
TE420FB (with hardware EC)

This is the very first time I’m using Freepbx and the whole
configuration was first generated by a “make samples” command.

When a SIP hardphone dials another SIP hardphone, everything is OK.
When the same SIP hardphone dials an external number, there is a quite
loud noise that can be heard within the handset from the moment the
digit sequence have been sent to the moment any party hangs up. The
other party doesn’t hear this noise.
(It’s not easy for me to describe this noise)

I don’t have any idea of where to look at.
What would you suggest or recommend ?

Regards

Hello Folks;

I may be posting this in the wrong list, but here goes.

I have a Grandstream GXP2000 and I would like to use tftp or some other
utility to grab the configuration from it.

Anyone have any bright ideas?

Thanks

Glen

Hi,

Has anyone heard (or read) about an existing or emerging standard targeting
the following feature :
1. a SIP handset receives an incoming call
2. this handset starts ringing
3. then it receives an update asking to autoanswer the ringing call.

This feature would help to build software panels complementing or
replicating hard phones GUI.

(I know you can work around such feature using conference rooms or dealing
with hard phones API (really ?) but in order to keep Queue log accurate,
this feature would be useful).

Cheers
