Settings

Settings: On master tenant

Master Settings are used to set global MT variables. These settings are applied on the entire system if not otherwise specified on a lower level.

For example: ‘Settings: Voicemail: Send Attachment’=’Yes’ will set ‘Set Attachment’ for all local and remote extensions. But each extension can override this rule by setting ‘Extensions: Edit: Advanced Options: Attach’=’No’

Voicemail

Calls are diverted to Voicemail when a user is unavailable or has the phone powered off, or when a call is transferred to voicemail by user. The phone alerts the user to indicate the receipt of a message.

Once the user is transferred to the party’s voice box a ‘Please leave a detail message after the tone. If you would like to speak to the operator, press 0’ message will be heard.

The user has two options:

  1. To leave a voice message that is ended by pressing the # key or by hanging up
  2. To reach an operator by dialing 0

If 0 is dialed a ‘Press 1 to accept this recording, otherwise please continue to hold’ message will be heard. The user has two options:

  1. Press 1 to save your message and dial the operator. ‘Please hold while I try that extension’ message played.
  2. Continue to hold to delete your message and dial the operator. ‘Message deleted, please hold while I try that extension’ message played.

Mailbox Option

Calls are diverted to Voicemail when a user is unavailable or has the phone powered off or when a call is transferred to a voicemail by the user. The phone alerts the user to indicate the receipt of a message.

Once the user is transferred to the party’s voice box the ‘Please leave a detail message after the tone. If you would like to speak to the operator, press 0’ message will be heard.

The user has two options:

  1. To leave a voice message that is ended by pressing # key or by hanging up
  2. To reach an operator by dialing 0

If 0 is dialed ‘Press 1 to accept this recording, otherwise please continue to hold’ message will be heard. User has two options:

  1. Press 1 to save your message and dial the operator. ‘Please hold while i try that extension’ message played.
  2. Continue to hold to delete your message and dial the operator. ‘Message deleted, please hold while i try that extension’ message is played.

Settings: On slave tenants

Settings on a slave are used to set current slaves variables. These settings are applied only on the current slave tenant.

Default Trunks

Slaves use trunks, assigned to them on the master tenant, to place calls to various destinations. In order to allow an organization to control its voice communications budget and to provide for termination backup the default trunks allows setting primary, secondary and tertiary trunks.

The slave tenant will use the primary trunk as its first choice for every destination called. If the primary trunk for some reason fails to terminate the call, the secondary trunk will be used by the system. If the secondary trunk for some reason fails to terminate the call, the tertiary trunk will be used by the system.

  • Primary/Secondary/Tertiary Trunk:

    Select default trunks on the system level.
    NOTE: If the dialed number is busy, the system will recognize it and won’t skip to other trunks in order to dial it.
    (ex. Service provider name)
    (Select box)

  • Default Destination:

    Default destination where trunks without DID will be transferred
    (ex. If there is no DID for an incoming Trunk/Provider, all calls will be transferred to this system number (e.g. 2000))
    ([0-9])

Precedence

Settings:

  • Default Trunks: All System calls go through trunks defined here
  • MiniLCR: Overrides ‘Default Trunks’ and sets a specific trunk for a destination

Extensions:

  • Trunks: Overrides ‘Settings: Default Trunks’
  • Routes: Overrides ‘Settings: MiniLCR’

UAD

UAD (User Agent Devices) are various IP phones, soft phones, ATA (Analog Telephone Adaptors) and IAD (Integrated Access Devices) used for system extensions. EdgelessPBX MT supports a wide range of UAD using SIP,IAX, MGCP and ZAPTEL protocols.

Supported devices are already pre-configured with the most common settings in order to allow administrators an easy way of adding extensions. However, some EdgelessPBX MT installations have specific requirements hence it is advisable to edit the selected UAD and set it to the required values. Additionally if an installation needs to use an UAD not listed, clicking on “Add User Agent” allows the addition of a new UAD.

Polycom 30x/50x/60x

You need the latest version of both the SIP software and bootROM to do it. Auto-answer could be configured only using provisioning. To prepare configuration files, you have to complete the following steps: 1. In the ‘sip.cfg’ file, look for the line with these variables:

 

Polycom calls up class 3 in sip.cfg or ipmid.cfg file. 2. In ‘sip.cfg’ my ring class ‘AUTO_ANSWER’ looks like this:

        
        
        <visual_only se.rt.2.name="Visual" se.rt.2.type="visual" />
        <auto_answer se.rt.3.name="Auto Answer" se.rt.3.type="answer" />
        <ring_answer se.rt.4.name="Ring Answer" se.rt.4.type="ring-answer" se.rt.4.timeout="2000" se.rt.4.ringer="2" se.rt.4.callwait="6" se.rt.4.mod="1" />
        
        
        
        <custom_1 se.rt.8.name="Custom 1" se.rt.8.type="ring" se.rt.8.ringer="5" se.rt.8.callwait="7" se.rt.8.mod="1" />

‘se.rt.3.type=”ANSWER”‘ sets Polycom phone ring type, in this case an answer, that means that phone will automatically answer without ringing.

3. Update the modified files to the provisioning server 4. Reload EdgelessPBX MT if used as a provisioning server 5. Restart your telephone The bootROM on the telephone performs the provisioning functions of downloading the bootROM, the .cfg file, and the SIP application and uploading log files. The SIP application performs the provisioning functions of downloading all other configuration files, uploading and downloading the configuration override file and user directory, downloading the dictionary and uploading log files.

The protocol which will be used to transfer files from the boot server depends on sev-eral factors including the phone model and whether the bootROM or SIP application stage of provisioning is in progress. TFTP and FTP are supported by all SoundPoint and SoundStation phones. The SoundPoint IP 301, 501, 600 and 601 and SoundStation IP 4000 bootROM also supports HTTP while the SIP application supports HTTP1 and HTTPS. If an unsupported protocol is specified, this may result in unex-pected behavior, see the table for details of which protocol the phone will use. The “Specified Protocol” listed in the table can be selected in the Server Type field or the Server Address can include a transfer protocol, for example http://usr:pwd@server (see 2.2.1.3.3 Server Menu on page 10). The boot server address can also be obtained via DHCP. Configuration file names in the .cfg file can include a transfer protocol, for example https://usr:pwd@server/dir/file.cfg. If a user name and password are specified as part of the server address or file name, they will be used only if the server supports them.

If a user name and password are specified as part of the server address or file name, they will be used only if the server supports them.

Tip

A URL should contain forward slashes instead of back slashes and should not contain spaces. Escape characters are not supported. If a user name and password are not specified, the Server User and Server Password will be used.

For downloading the bootROM and application images to the phone, the secure HTTPS protocol is not available. To guarantee software integrity, the bootROM will only download signed bootROM or application images. For HTTPS, widely recog-nized certificate authorities are trusted by the phone and custom certificates can be added. See 6.1 Trusted Certificate Authority List on page 151. Using HTTPS requires that SNTP be functional. Provisioning of configuration files is done by the application instead of the bootROM and this transfer can use a secure protocol.

1. Create a new line on a Cisco phone, and put the configuration into sip.conf as you normally would(go into ‘Settings: Call Preferences: Auto Answer (intercom)’ and then make the line you’ve just created as ‘auto-answer’. 2. Here are the contents of /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/callall:

        #!/bin/sh
        cp /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/*conf /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing

3. Make sure to make the script executable. And then for every extension you have as an auto-answer, have a file like this in /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin:

        Channel: SIP/2006
        Context: add-to-conference
        WaitTime: 2
        Extension: start
        Priority: 1
        CallerID: Office Pager <5555>

So, for example, if you have three lines that are configured for automatic answering – SIP/2006, SIP/2007, SIP/2008, you should have three files named 2006-conf, 2007-conf, 2008-conf in /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin that get copied into the outgoing call spool directory every time you call extension 5555.

4. Now, dial 5555 from any phone and you should have one-way paging.

People who use the pager may have to get used to waiting 1-2 seconds before speaking to allow all the phones to catch up with the audio stream. All of the phones hang up after 20 seconds, regardless of whether the person originating the page has stopped talking. Change the AbsoluteTimeout values to increase this interval.

If you want a really confusing loud mess, then change the “dmq” options to “dq” and you’ll get an N-way conversation going with everyone who has a phone. This is not good.

If you want a really interesting office surveillance tool, change the “dmq” to “dt” and you’ll suddenly be listening to all of the extensions in the office, like some kind of mega-snoop tool. This is useful for after-hours listening throughout the entire office.

Numbering Defaults

Numbering defaults sets the way EdgelessPBX MT will assign network numbers to Extensions, Conferences etc…

Fetch least unallocated number (default):

This option takes the lowest number on the system that is not used by the system and assigns it to a new Extension you’re trying to create for example.

Fetch next unallocated number:

If the last allocated number was assigned to extension 2010, the next IVR that you’re trying to add for example will be given number 2011. The system will not try to give you an unallocated number 1022 for example

Fetch random:

Use this option in case that you want to assign numbers in non-sequential order. If you create a new Queue for example, EdgelessPBX MT will assign it a number 2350, for example. And if you try to create a new Extension right after that, EdgelessPBX MT might assign it a number 9838, for example.
