When is it necessary to reboot a phone from a FreePBX system?
Your have magic users that know how to do anything?
Seriously, I had a user ask me how to reboot their phone today.

@dbeato said in Reboot a Yealink phone from the command line of a FreePBX system:
some changes to the configuration of the phone.
This is one reason I want it done, but rarely do i need to do it from the PBX itself.
Because I create my own config files, I do not get the magic "rebuild config and reboot" button that the paid EPM has in FreePBX.
Generally I only need this when things happen like today when an internal FreePBX system went unexpectedly offline and was rebooted along with the entire Hyper-V server.
BLF subscriptions seem to not update real well to events like that.

Understood, talking about the Paid EPM, Do you see a reason to use it in the Small Business World?

Nearly anytime you are supporting one that is having a problem

That decision is based on who is managing.

Loads. Even for internal staff, why walk to a phone if you can reboot from your desk?

I disagree with this. Because there are other ways to reboot a phone remotely, namely with the web GUI.
The paid EPM is a good product but it has a number of limitations that make it clunky for any experienced admin. It is designed for the untrained masses, and does a good job for that target.

Oh sorry, got confused, thought we were still discussing why to remotely reboot the phone not the module speceifically.

I like PBX reboots over web GUI, though, because one bypasses the LAN, the other would require somehow exposing the web interface potentially.

Certainly the better way to do it. Just saying there is more than one way.

Understandably so.

I like the exercise.
