SUGGESTIONS Aastra XML 2.3.0 Scripts

[jebradley]

There it was, staring me right in the face, and I didn't see it. I was getting the 'enter password' message, and after punching it, I did not see the 'Options' button.
Thank you. (I still think that I like the original better, but this is improving, and moving the buttons to where I want them helps, too.)

I am running with a server from RentPBX.com. I have installed the Aastra configuration scripts on that server, and am trying to use them to auto-configure the phones. When booting, the phones allow for a remote configuration server, but when I try it, I get a server error message. I suspect this is a firewall or port problem, but I am not smart enough to figure it out. Is there anyone who has done this, or who can point me towards a solution?

Many thanks,
Richard

Well when you ran aastra-setup-xml did you specific your public IP? That needs to be done first if you haven't already. Then you would want to use the Aastra configuration encryption tool to encrypt the config files so your extension password isn't there in plain text. Don't forget to remove the plain text versions of the config files after encrypting them. I believe HTTP is already permitted through the firewall, so you would only need to allow t*f*t*p. Preferably locked to a static IP if you have one.

Good luck.

Cannot Display?

When I press the park button to park the call it parks correctly and seems fine, but when i hang up I get "Cannot Display". here's the step-by-step.
1. I press Park
2. I see the 500/500 show up on the display
3. I hear 5-0-1 in the phone.
4. I hang up.
5. I see "Cannot Display".

What's it trying to display? Isn't that usually where it shows it in big numbers in the center of the screen?

Unless I went cross-eyed reading this thread, I don't think anyone has mentioned that the 2.3.1 scripts are now available:

http://www.aastratelecom.com/cps/rd..._PA-001011-02_REV01-XML_API_3_2_1_04_2011.zip

Has anyone used them yet - any feedback on how they perform?

Thx

PS - to echo those earlier inputs of other posters, I bought Aastra phones on the recommendations made here in PiaF foums, which are no doubt due to the level of support and flexibility of the scripts provided by Aastra. Thanks for all the hard work and keep it up!

Any news of new package which will be compatible with FreePBX 2.9 and Asterisk 1.8?

Many of us did, but now are looking elsewhere. Aastra doesn't seem to realize the ROI of having aastra1's involvement in these forums, and I've started selling Polycom phones now because of it.

I feel the same. I love the aastra xml stuff when it works.

 

[carlosmp]

That's just the development kit....it may have newer versions of the sample scripts, but the scripts that tie in to FreePBX/Asterisk are completely separate.

2.3.1 now available for beta testing

Good news, I just posted a new thread for the beta of the aastra-xml-scripts 2.3.1. Besides some bug fixes the main changes for this version are:

• proper support of phone firmware 3.2.1
• compatibility with freePBX 2.9
• compatibility with Asterisk 1.8
• Much better implementation for the 6739i

Please give it a try and please share your findings/requests in the new thread.

Enjoy

I'm having problem with Asterisk 1.8.5.0 and FreePBX 2.9 with Aastra 2.3.0-1 XML scripts - Devstate problem.

I have it configured with FreePBX 2.9 (advanced settings):

• Enable Custom Device States - True
• User & Devices Mode - Extensions

But when I do /var/www/html/phones/aastra/utilities/check_install, I get:

USEDEVSTATE set to False .................................. WARNING
-> Please configure USEDEVSTATE to True on /etc/amportal.conf

So I cannot see via BLF for other users if they are using DND?

Is there are solution?

I am currently using version 2.3.0 of the aatra scripts from here

http://pbxinaflash.net/source/aastra...astra-xml.x.gz

We seemed to have come across a bug (similar to yours) that allot of others have mentioned (doing some googling) in that unless the SOFTKEY assignments are set within the mac.cfg (rather than in aastra.cfg) the lights on each softkey will not display to indicate their status.

IE - if you press DND - it calls the aastra php script which will in turn enable DND for the extension and should also light up softkey's light.

Has anyone else found another work around for this ?

We build our own custom aastra.cfg and mac.cfg's for each phone (rather than the new templated way) and it will be much easier to have the common key assignments for all 80+ phones in the aastra.cfg. Reason being if we need to make an adjustment we modify a single file rather than 80+ files.

Problem with devstate and freePBX 2.9

I'm having problem with Asterisk 1.8.5.0 and FreePBX 2.9 with Aastra 2.3.0-1 XML scripts - Devstate problem.

I have it configured with FreePBX 2.9 (advanced settings):

• Enable Custom Device States - True
• User & Devices Mode - Extensions

But when I do /var/www/html/phones/aastra/utilities/check_install, I get:

-> Please configure USEDEVSTATE to True on /etc/amportal.conf

Hi there,

Yes there is a solution, this is a bug introduced by freePBX 2.9 which changed the format of the usedevstate parameter which is now in upper case.

To fix your problem, edit /var/www/html/aastra/asterisk/include/AastraAsterisk.php

Around line 167
Replace the line setting the variable $AA_FREEPBX_USEDEVSTATE by

if(strcasecmp($array_config_freepbx['']['usedevstate'],'true')==0) $AA_FREEPBX_USEDEVSTATE=True;

This should do the trick.

Aastra1 is back!! Does this mean aastra is still working on the scripts?

Paging and Conference App

I've just installed PiaF-Purple from the 17571 iso, and installed the 2.3.0 scripts. I've found that when using the paging function, the conference app is displayed on the phone initiating the page, as well as all of the phones receiving the page. The app stays on the screen until the Goodbye button is pressed, even after the paging event ends.

This doesn't happen when using the intercom, so I don't think it's related to the auto-answer function, but don't have any idea where to look first.

FYI,

Blind call transfers to the Asterisk parking lot extension (usually 70) is no longer supported. I changed the last key object in the park.php app to dial a # instead of the Xfer key. This initiates an attended transfer for compatibility with Asterisk 1.8.

Last I looked the 2.3.1 beta scripts had the same issue too.

Otherwise just find and replace 1.6 to 1.8 in these scrip files and they'll work great with Asterisk 1.8 as long as you stick with the Aastra 2.6 branch of firmware.

Thanks for all the support aastra1!!

A.J.

I know this is an old thread, but I am trying to do a reinstall of the 2.3.1.1 scripts, and am having the following problem:
In Centos 5.5, it is necessary to install AVAHI, and PHP-LDAP which I previously did by "yum install avahi" and "yum install php-ldap". However, those point to a server which is either down, or no longer holds the necessary files. I get the following error:

piaf6/primary | 50 kB 00:00
http://www.pbxinaflash.org/piafrepo/piaf6/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno -3] Error performing checksum
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from piaf6: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

The error for the second command is essentially the same.

Can anyone help me with another way to make this install?
Thanks,
Richard
