so what we did was 3 step process - put the extension number on first alternative, another on second alternative, edit the call re-routing for the said extension number pointing to the line of 1st and 2nd alternative. we use the current timer but instead of going to VM it goes to the alternatives.

I agree that moving to a new system right away seems like the best course of action given that the phones are not actually down, but just cannot continue to be configured.

@jaredbusch Ok thanks for the explanation

We still have the error, but we did determine that it's just an error message and the clients can register fine. The registration issue was unrelated. So not a big deal, but it would be nice to know why we get this.

@tm1000 said in FreePBX 14 Module Update Errors: Our QA team has confirmed that firewall has no issues: https://community.freepbx.org/t/bug-in-latest-firewall-adding-ip-to-firewall-trusted-zone-no-longer-updates-iptables-firewall-rules-on-firewall-restart/50181/9?u=tm1000 I've got a few on the latest and haven't seen anything ourselves, yet. Seems good.

This really old post gives a clue on what the structure is for their firmware numbering. http://forum.yealink.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1661 The template of Firmware name of Yealink phone is X1.X2.X3.X4 (1) X1 means the Phone Model X1- Phone Model T4 Series 35 - T48G 28 - T46G 29 - T42G 36 - T41P (2) X2 means the Major version number X2-Major version number 61 - V61 70 - V70 71 - V71 72 - V72 (3) X3 means the Custom or Neutral version 0 or 1 means Neutral version Non 0 or 1 means Custom version (4) X4 means the Minor version Yealink will release some minor versions after solving some bugs.

@krisleslie :{../name}: Got ya

@mmicha Yup, it's a good solution for sure. Nothing is perfect, but as long as you have CommQuotes by your side, you will have someone there to help you if you need it. We have clients with a few phones to hundreds of seats, as well as call centers that push millions of minutes per month over their network. You are in good hands and I think you are going to save so much money that you will be hoisted up on to a chariot and whisked away to the kingdom that awaits you as King of Phones at your company

It's my first time running into it. Wondering if it might not be a corrupted client.

@bbigford said in FreePBX Reload Failed Retreive_Conf Encountered Error 1: @scottalanmiller said in FreePBX Reload Failed Retreive_Conf Encountered Error 1: Shut down Asterisk manually, restarted again with fwconsole start. Seems okay now. Odd that a reboot didn't pick that up. That is weird... Was the service not running after the reboot? Oh it was running. It just wasn't happy.

@smitherick Thanks for your suggestion I just tried with Reid method and it is working well. The red notification has been removed

@jaredbusch Thank you

@stuartjordan said in Yealink T19PE2 FreePBX: I personally like freepbx and will continue using it, the interface is a bit dated I must admit, but that doesn't bother me. FreePBX interface is definitely dated. But also .... why would the interface ever matter that much? But even if it did, I've used 3CX and their interface was far worse.

@bnrstnr said in Weird Network Errors on SIP Trunks, FreePBX: @scottalanmiller We still use the legacy wholesale thing. It probably wasn't as often as every 3 months, I'm sure I'm exaggerating a little. Oh okay, that's what we are using, too.

For another site I manage, I don't use stun and I also have ALG/SIP disabled on SonicWall but it is vlaned.

I searched and didn't find it. I don't think it got a thread, but it was likely a response to someone somewhere. Yeah, you posted it in SpiceWorks. I think maybe here, too, though. Maybe this? https://mangolassi.it/topic/15518/the-basics-of-voip-samit-video/34 Maybe that is all that I am thinking of.

@biglittle said in The Basics of VoIP SAMIT Video: Just realized today when routing a ticket that our VOIP is pbx based? No idea what any of this means, but excited to learn Essentially all business VoIP uses a PBX. There can be exceptions, but it’s mostly theoretical.

Yes, exactly my reaction when I heard about this. Waiting on my tech support request response. Just got that in today. No, I mean the first part. WTF does that even mean. Confused, late night postings apparently.

Maybe for the best, need to teach people not to trust their phones.

@scottalanmiller is right. The bottleneck is always the customer router. And not so much bandwidth as much as packets per second. Your dropbox sync is killing your phone calls 50 to 1 over bandwidth 99% of the time. Your $50 linksys router can't handle a million pps. Most ISP's are little more than Broadsoft resellers with no interconnects in their local market. Even on the WISP side speeds are so good now that bundling voice isn't relevant.

I'm going to try this out. Looks interesting.

Yeah, looked it up. No bands. It's just the most advanced 3G signaling method.

Hardly relevant, there are a lot of these systems out there and they need to be serviced and replaced. Fixed. No, as shown by @Dashrender The other day the song cost of an existing system can still outweigh the cost of replacement Song cost, eh? Yes, the Sunk cost for me saved me about $12K over upgrading to FreePBX. Well you've heard the impression "he got it for a song", right?

@Mike-Ralston look at the PBX I have with NTG you can see outbound route there like that

@JaredBusch said in Wazo 16.16 First Look: Not seeing anything in the Wazo documentation on how to set this up either. In the early release, definitely is looking like it is a bit hard to use. It's early though, hopefully that stuff will follow soon.

@FloridaMan said in Recording Employee Calls at Work in the US: When I call a company, I often get an automated answer, alerting me to the fact that the call may be recorded, before being transferred to the menu or operator. If an employee calls me, I'm not notified that the call may be recorded. Should the first thing the employee tells me is that the call might be recorded? If the call might actually be recorded, heck yeah. There might be cases where they do not need to do that, but it is very unlikely that that employee could know when those cases might come up because it is the physical location of the other party, not the number that they call or where they are based or what their activity is, that matters legally. They could easily be violating federal, state or even international laws.

@scottalanmiller Thank you.

I do notice that Linphone provides real time feedback no individual calls, which is nice.
