@DustinB3403 said in VoIP echo issue ...: @BraswellJay Do you know if any of the remote callers were on speaker phone? I've had that cause issues, but generally speaking, having Echo Cancellation on fixes it. No I don't know if they were or not.

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.

@JaredBusch said in Exploring VitalPBX: @scottalanmiller Well, at least he left FreePBX quite a while ago. But yes, just slightly insane in that thread. Yeah, only a reflection upon the history of FreePBX, nothing to do with their current owner. But it scares me that he touched that code!

@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.

@wrx7m happy to help!

Yeah, outdoor speakerphones arent a popular item.

@scottalanmiller said in Anyone ever use Univerge Blue by NEC for SIP: @JaredBusch said in Anyone ever use Univerge Blue by NEC for SIP: I refuse to use Skyetel because of their bullshit pricing practice. He's seen the pricing, he's converted already, lol. I’m not changing my opinion on unpublished pricing just because you like it and they pay you to advertise here.

@JaredBusch said in Call Out from FreePBX Conference Room: @scottalanmiller said in Call Out from FreePBX Conference Room: @JaredBusch said in Call Out from FreePBX Conference Room: Hit transfer, hit the conference extension, dial the participant code, speak their name, hit the transfer button again. The idiot will be in the conference. I've tried that, always seem to get stuck with the "enter a code" issue. You are going to force me to test those instructions aren't you? Tested what I typed above.. Works perfectly.

Well I tried maintenance mode - out of service for 10 mins, then back on - no go. I put the password back into the system - bam.. damn thing is registering again.

@JaredBusch said in Getting Familiar with Sangoma S500 running with FreePBX as back end. . .: I've given up on EPM for anything complicated with non Sangoma phones. Same, I don't find it to be valuable for us.

The cost difference for Poe switch vs non is 400$.... over 48 phones that’s less tha $10 ea Let’s move on from POE But that's way more than wall warts typically. And the comparison is not against a normal switch, but against no switch. You don't need any switching at all beyond what you already have unless you go PoE, right? That is not right. I'm 50% or more laptops. So I would need at least another 30 ports, but probably more like 40 ports to include phones in random locations. Where you don't have ports today? It's not that you are laptops. I think you are trying to imply that your laptops are wireless? I may or may not have a wire there - but I definitely don't have a switch port connected to those wires. I replaced switches a while ago and didn't buy more than I needed for the APs, Printers, and Desktops. yes the laptops are 100% wireless. I see. Wherever we have a large amount of laptops, we wire them up for performance and stability. My users have shown that when they have to manage plugs on a daily basis, they damage them regularly. We're lucky we don't have more issues with power connectors. So eliminate the responsibility of having to plug things in. Get a softphone and have people start using that wholesale. huh? not sure where this came from? today users move from station to station, only plugging in their power brick to power their laptops. They just use the phone at the desk they are sitting at that time. I was responding to this comment. It didn't start from me, or you. Both of us responded to Dustin's topic.

I wouldn't go that far. I don't know much consumer gear that doesn't make that easy. Super easy tomport forward? Yes. Able to restrict to a specific source IP? No. eh - if you're only open for the trunk provider, then you can likely lock to one or a few IPs. if you need mobile support - that's another story. How? Where? Been a while since I was in a consumer router, but port forwarding screens had nothing about source IP.

@JaredBusch said in Alternatives to OpenVPN for FreePBX on cell phone...: @scottalanmiller said in Alternatives to OpenVPN for FreePBX on cell phone...: @JaredBusch said in Alternatives to OpenVPN for FreePBX on cell phone...: There has never been a promise or timeline made for the mobile apps. Anyone expecting anything on that front is operating in their own little fantasy. That's the main use case of softphones, though. Like 95% I would guess. Softphones for the desktop are way more niche. I totally disagree. Softphone on the desktop is by far the largest user base thanks to call centers. Softphone on mobile is a far second to that. Maybe overall, but for FreePBX? FreePBX is pretty rare in call centers, AFAIK.
