@JasGot said in ISP & VoIP woes: @fuznutz04 said in ISP & VoIP woes: Good tips. I'll watch this daily to see if I can find a pattern. Thanks! We had a similar issue at a customer. The customer had terrible latency and dropped pings beginning everyday at about 3:35pm It was a faulty cable modem in a house nearby. This kids came home from school! I feel like I remember that story.

@Dashrender said in DVX 8000 IP PBX CONFIGURATION: Awesome to see more telephoney stuff show up. Bad telephony, but meh. all good.

@DustinB3403 said in Kari's Law and Special SMB Onus on IT Staff: @scottalanmiller You just said that Enterprise customers can be forced to update their information, but smaller orgs get a pass. I must be misreading what you've typed. Yes, the CUSTOMERS get a pass, IT that supports small customers has to provide the information that they don't have control over. Enterprise customers have to provide the information from the company. SMB customers get to not tell anyone when changes are made and blame someone with no power or way to get that information for certain.

At least the notification requirements are pretty simple and straightforward. For almost everyone, just email out a notification.

Your definition is not relevant. The FCC definition is what will be enforced.

@DustinB3403 said in Kari's Law and Hotdesking: @scottalanmiller I would say, you should disable it if someone can't pick up any phone and call 911. It IS disabled in that situation. So removes it from law coverage.

@akiliss said in Auto provisioning server for yealink T21P: Hi @JaredBusch, Thank you very much for your reply, I tested a same configuration on Friday and it worked fine with TFTP. Now Im trying to configure this with HTTP or HTTPS. Thanks again You can use tftp if you want. It works just fine. My issue with it is the lack of security.

@JaredBusch said in Incoming Call Issue: @VoIP_n00b said in Incoming Call Issue: Running FreePBX v14... No resent changes made, except to change the name on an extension. When some calls in, and let's say they dial 555 then end up getting 511, 511 can then forward the call to 555 no issue, but I have no idea what is causing this. Because they released a horrible fucking update to IVR. Edit your IVR and set strict dial time out to No - legacy That fixed it! Thank you so much!!!

We had the same problem with VitalPBX, and @ScottAlanMiller's suggestion, we made the Opus codec the highest priority and it resolved the issue for us. Maybe it is worth a try for you?

I just found this. I guess it is called "Camp" or "Call Back" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_callback Not I can start researching how to do it with VitalPBX. The conversation here, on this topic was instrumental in getting me on the right path for a solution. Thank you all! We can keep talking about it too, if you want

Typo in the port, we found it.

Very nice. That’s one thing that’s seriously missing from FusionPBX!

@scottalanmiller said in Best SIP VoIP Softphone for macOS: Got a couple of users on macOS that would like to set up a softphone on their desktops. In theory Linphone, Zoiper, X-Lite make macOS versions. Anyone have a reason to pick one or the other or have another option on macOS? I use Telephone on my laptop and like it. Its pretty sparse, but it works well and is efficient.

We've been using Skyetel as our primary trunks for some time now, and most of our customers are either using them now or porting over to them in the near term. Service has been great, and very easy to use.

@JaredBusch said in Fanvil Opus Codec Support in X4G and X5S Phones: Public prices. I go to their site, I request a price, that's the price that they tell me. Can you haggle for something else? Maybe, maybe not. But it's the price that they respond to me when I look it up. So it's their price, and that's what we gauge against. It makes voipsupply a totally shit supplier, and mirrors what we've found from them in the past. We used to use them because they were local to us and they weren't any good so we don't use them. As a customer, their prices weren't any good.

@JaredBusch said in Prerequisites for Yealink YDMP Install: @DustinB3403 worked with this I believe... I did, but the install process was pretty easy. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-2hh-5N-vg-s2w8MS3GVaqDRVetLmbpp

@Pete-S said in Discussing with management switching to VOIP ...: @Skyetel said in Discussing with management switching to VOIP ...: @Pete-S said in Discussing with management switching to VOIP ...: @BraswellJay said in Discussing with management switching to VOIP ...: No internet - no phones : this is an issue in that we don't have redundancy on our network link, but there has not been any network outage since the fiber was installed at this particular site several years ago. Not sure what I can do on this short of say we could keep a POTS line or two for emergencies but that of course starts to eat into the cost savings some also. Maybe you can setup a 4G link as redundancy instead. Voip traffic doesn't require that much bandwidth so even if you only get 2 Megabit/s or something it is still plenty. I would suggest against this - a lot of the 4G carriers do crazy things with NAT that SIP Trunks really really do not like. We run into CGN problems all the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT. It also can create issues with UDP Fragmentation. But if you are using a hosted PBX is that really an issue? You can mitigate it somewhat, but yea, its still an issue. The best way to get around it with a hosted PBX is to use a VPN between the phone and the PBX. That will bypass most of the NAT issues and keep the phones routing the way they should. You can still get dropped calls though.

@JaredBusch said in Building VitalPBX on Vultr Automatically: @scottalanmiller said in Building VitalPBX on Vultr Automatically: and be fully updated. I noticed that the defualt CentOS 7 image was pretty much fully up to date before I ran the install script. Only thing that came down when I ran yum update -y was wget. Yeah, it is more of a "just in case" something is out of date. I almost never see it not fully up to date when I fire it up.

@hobbit666 said in Exploring VitalPBX: Do you know if they plan on changing Not much choice, chan_sip is deprecated.

@black3dynamite said in FreePBX Desktop Video Conferencing Options: Have you already check with linphone if it does video conferencing? In theory it does. Linphone desktop has been pretty flaky for us so were looking at alternatives.

Not surprised they finally caved to this. It was needed, but I am sure it will be a huge support hit in the short term.

@Curtis said in Bria Mobile iOS and FreePBX: I tried a few hours with Bira this morning... Just a couple minutes ago I downloaded Acrobits Groundwire by Acrobits, and it instantly worked... https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/acrobits-groundwire/id378503081 That listing clearly states it uses push. So how does that work?

@Dashrender said in Relationship Pricing: @JaredBusch said in Relationship Pricing: But with the second one there, I only perform a lookup once every 30 days for numbers that call me. Is this because FreePBX caches the info? Yes, but any system can be setup that way.

@JaredBusch said in Yealink T46S Missing Opus Codec in 66.84.0.15 Firmware: @Dashrender said in Yealink T46S Missing Opus Codec in 66.84.0.15 Firmware: It sounds like @lansalot might have been pushing an old config file to Yealink phones with newer firmware, and that old style config MIGHT have been slightly incompatible - and caused the issue. which @lansalot was able to resolve, not by completely modernizing his config files, but instead by adding a few lines to expressly bring OPUS back into the config. That should not matter. If the config is old and does not have the setting specified at all, it should go to the default value. Sure, of course you'd like to think so - but bugs do happen... and it appears that it is in this case.

@JaredBusch said in Make Yealink Ring While on the Phone: @scottalanmiller said in Make Yealink Ring While on the Phone: If you have Yealink T46S phone, and you are talking on the phone, instead of making it do a call waiting beep, can you make it ring normally? A bit odd, but there is a reason for it Not to my knowledge. It was supposedly added as a feature request a few years ago, and I have not noticed it in a firmware release note. That would explain why I have never seen it come up. Not that anyone has ever wanted it previously.

@JaredBusch said in Broadvox Outage 15 April 2019: Broadvox is now named Inteliquent as far as where the domain redirects to. Yeah, while passing through on Onvoy page along the way of the redirects.

@nadnerB said in Polycom and Plantronics Merger: Poly: When thigs go wrong, they'll be Polygon JAJAJA

Okay, we got it. Doing the switch, then the fwconsole update, then rebooting, and running through it all again... eventually it fixed itself.

@JaredBusch said in Major outage at VoIP.ms today: @scottalanmiller said in Major outage at VoIP.ms today: Wait, I think we are talking on a voip.ms line right now, weird. The problem is inbound termination from upstream of them. Everything else works. Also not all inbound providers are affected. Okay, that makes sense then.
