(Select options)
Sound Files
This section administers global sound files used by all of the slaves on EdgelessPBX MT, which means that all extensions from all of slave are using these as their general sound files, i.e. ‘Please enter the conference PIN number’
- Sounds:
Select among available options (gsm, ulaw, alaw, g729, ilbc, sln) to display system sound files of that type
(ex. Selecting ‘gsm’ will display all system sounds with the .gsm file type)
(Select box) - Upload:
Uploads the selected file from the local computer to EdgelessPBX MT
(ex. Click on the ‘Browse’ button and select a file from your desktop. Then click this button to upload the selected file to EdgelessPBX MT)
(Command button) - Convert:
Convert the selected file to the desired codec.
(ex. Select the box next to a sound file (e.g. arizona). Select a codec from the drop down menu and click on Convert. The sound file will be converted to that codec).
(Command button) - Rename:
Renames the selected sound file
(ex. Select the box next to a sound file (e.g. arizona). Change ‘arizona’ into ‘Arizona101’ and click this button to rename the selected sound file)
(Command button) - Delete:
Deletes the selected sound file
(ex. Select the box next to a sound file (e.g. arizona) and click this button to delete the selected sound file)

TIP: EdgelessPBX MT will play only sound file types equal to enabled codecs on dialing extensions.
For example, Extension 1000 has only gsm codec enabled. When the same Extension logs in as a Queue Agent by dialing ‘*202 + $AGENT_NUMBER’, all sounds played by EdgelessPBX MT (asking for password etc.) will be in ‘.gsm’ format.
If multiple codecs are enabled for Extension 1000(ulaw,alaw,gsm), EdgelessPBX MT will play sound files with better sound quality (ulaw/alaw).
Music on Hold
Music on Hold is music or advertisements played to callers while they are waiting for an agent or when put on hold, for example. MOH set on master tenant is played if there is none matched on a slave where MOH is supposed to be played

Sangoma cards
This part of the interface is used to set various Sangoma cards: PRI, Analog and BRI.
Depending on the cards inserted and the number of ports on them, appropriate row of information will show up in the list of the cards. Also whether a PRI, Analog or BRI card is inserted, they will have different configuration settings.
PRI cards
When a PRI card is inserted (like A101 which has one port) you will get as many “items” in the list as you have ports on that particular card. In this case, A101 has one port hence one item or card in the list. If you insert A102 you will get two items in the list because that card has two ports.
So, you need to configure every port individually, that’s why there is a separate Configure button by every port.
When the card is inserted you will see ‘Not connected’ Status. You need to connect the cable to it and click on Configure button.
- Media type:
This is the type of the PRI system that the card is connecting to
Example:- T1 – PRI in US
- E1 – PRI in EU
- J1 – PRI in Japan
- Coding:
This is the coding type for this port. This is automatically selected with Media type, so there is no need to change this option.
(ex. B8ZS)
(Select box) - Framing:
This is the framing used for this port. This is automatically selected with Media type, so there is no need to change this option.
(ex. ESF)
(Select box) - Clock:
Select whether the card will give a clock to devices (Master), or use a clock generated from telco (Normal)
(ex. Master)
(Select box) - Reference clock:
This option allows one to use the incoming clock from a different port as a clock source to this port.
(ex. 2)
([0-9])
NOTE: This option works only if Clock is Master. - Hardware DTMF:
Enable/Disable Hardware DTMF detection
(ex. Yes, No, N/A)
(Option buttons)
When you choose which type of connection is used and whether the card will use a clock source from the provider or generating one, click on the Save button. After that click on Apply and then the Restart EdgelessPBX MT button. If the cable is connected and configuration done properly, the system will display ‘Connected’ by the cards port.
Analog Cards
When you insert an analog Sangoma card, each card has one “item” in the list, regardless of number of ports that it has on it. Under the Port, it will show you how many FXS and/or FXO ports are configured.
- Codec:
Codec used for this card
(ex. MULAW)
(Select box) - FXO Operation mode:
FXO Operation mode.
(ex. FCC)
(Select box) - Hardware DTMF:
Enable/Disable Hardware DTMF detection
(ex. Yes, No, N/A)
(Option buttons)
The procedure for configuring FXS/FXO ports is simplest. Click on Configure, Save, Apply and then Restart EdgelessPBX MT.
TIP: If you change the hardware configuration of the card (PCI slot, number of FXS/FXO modules etc.) first reset the settings by clicking on the Reset button in the Configuration window, and then Save.
BRI Cards
Here you can configure Sangoma BRI cards. In this example we used A500 which has 3 physical ports where every port splits into two ISDN ports by a special cable, thus offering 6 ISDN ports which you must configure by clicking on the Configure button.
- Connection type:
This should match the settings provided by Telco.
(ex. point-to-point)
(Select box) - Group:
Select in which group you want to place the current port. This is useful if you want one trunk to use more than one port so all calls could be spread across several ports. In such a case, put the same number on all ports you want to allocate to the trunk.
(ex. 2)
([0-9]) - Country:
Set this to your local country.
(ex. usa)
(Select box) - Number of incoming digits:
The minimum number of digits for a called number on an incoming call. Incoming calls with a called number less than this value will be rejected with cause: Invalid number format.
(ex. 6)
([0-9]) - Dial plan:
Some switches require the “type of number” network specific facility to be set.
(ex. international)
(Select box) - Numbering plan:
Some switches require the “number plan” network specific facility to be set.
(ex. isdn)
(Select box)
If the port was connected and properly configured, after clicking on Save and then Apply, restarting EdgelessPBX MT will show Connected by that port.
