SUGGESTIONS Aastra XML scripts 2.3.1 Beta

[thx2000]

The above is the response from this url?

http://10.0.1.108/aastra/asterisk/vmail_4.php?ext=202&user=202

No, the url above would be for the personal voicemail. It works pretty much as expected. I'm having trouble with the general voicemail box that is shared by multiple people. Its url is

http://10.0.1.108/aastra/asterisk/vmail_4.php?ext=202&user=200

 

[swimboy]

After digging into the source code for vmail_4.php, I think I see what's wrong with the auto-login function. The function toggles the feature on and off based on the ext, not the user. In most cases, these two variables have the same value, and there's no issue. In my case, where there's several extensions checking the same voicemailbox, the ext's are different, and the problem arises.

With older versions of the vmail_4.php, I could append &pin=1234 to the URL of the button to skip entering the password, but this method doesn't work with the current version of the scripts.

Is there any way to allow users to log in to a voicemailbox other than their own without entering a password?

softkey configuration or sample mac.cfg file for aastra 7631i

sorted out

 

[Speedy2k]

Is there anyway to make the keys.php file working as it should be, because right now, when you do change with this script, your change are written on the $mac.cfg file, but as soon as you do an apply_prf, all those change are gone, why by default this script doesn't put is change in the /var/www/html/aastra/asterisk/user-custom.prf file and do and apply_prf ALL ?? it will update both file in the same process, because right now i can't even use this script since i can't make any change in the config file or the user loose all is programmed key. i know it shouldn't be a big deal!!! Aastra1 can you help me on this one?

Hi, I'm testing the scripts out on PIAF Purple/Asterisk 1.8 and a 6739i prior to deployment, and so far very impressed. Thanks to aastra1 and Aastra for this package!

The one issue I'm having is that when using the visual voicemail script, after messages are deleted the message lights continue blinking indefinitely. If I check messages using the voice prompts, then the light goes out immediately. When using the scripts, the light stays on until I reload Asterisk OR until I check the mailbox using the *98 voice prompts, just to hear "there are no messages".

I have a feeling this used to work better though. Have not made any config file edits.

Also, is there any way to have the message lights glow steady red instead of blinking?

Also, minor bug report, when I first installed I could not listen to messages or greetings using the script, I got "all circuits are busy". Turns out I had an outbound default route that matched all digits ".", and the system was trying and failing to call VMAIL via the trunks, it was even rectifying per my trunk rules so it attempted calls to 1212VMAIL, etc. Asterisk is smart enough not to allow this route to catch any internal extensions, feature codes, etc. but it would occur with the scripts. I don't need the "." route so simple to fix.

Thanks for the help.

One other thing i just remarqued, Using Asterisk 1.8.5 and FreePBX 2.9, the aastra xml script doesn't detect that the usedevstate=yes in the amportal.conf. and the DND blf are not working. i don't know where we can fix this but this is really anoying. thanx!

 

[totalimpact]

has this turned into a community effort? seems aastra has gone silent on this. It would really be nice to have the couple major bugs polished off on this to have stable support in 1.8 - seeing as how 1.8 is in it for the supposed long haul.

 

[bx10]

Common issue. In the FreePBX Voicemail Admin module, click "settings" and locate these two fields:
pollfreq
pollmailboxes

Thanks! Works perfectly.

 

[totalimpact]

my major show stopper is Park - it does not work

for it to Park - you must press park twice, the caller is parked, and the *caller* then hears the parking slot (not good), while the Aastra user gets nothing.

then its like park forks - the caller gets put in parking slot 71, and the aastra user gets PARKED in 72 (as shown in asterisk cli).

Finally when trying to retrieve a parked call - it just says "there are no calls parked on the platform".

dialing 71 picks up the caller - but there is no way for end users to properly identify multiple parked calls.

I hope Aastra1 gets back in the game soon.

I fixed the park call issue a few months ago. Let me dig through some code and see if I can find it again.

We at Schmooze wrote alot of the original XML apps that everyone now gets to enjoy with Aastra1 a few years ago. We have out own version of the XML scripts that we maintain.

What I think maybe we should do is get the latest XML apps up on Git or SVN and start maintaining the scripts as a standalone project. I know Aastra1 is real busy these days with his full time job at Aastra and does not have alot of time to work on the XML apps in his spare time anymore.

Let me talk internally here and see what the other devs think about this and talk with Aastra and make sure they are cool with it all.

 

[totalimpact]

Thanks Tony, I know you and Ethan did a great deal, and I know Aastra only provides a piece of hardware, but it would be so nice to have the bells and whistles we enjoyed from 1.4x on 1.8x.

unfortunately not everyone is hot on php, but i am at the point where i either scrape together this php and ami, or go with another phone from here on out.

Trouble killing key configs

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but where is phone specific key information stored, other than MAC.cfg and user-custom.prf?

I’ve been trying out the 2.3.1 scripts with a 6739i, running in extension mode. Originally did a plain vanilla install and played with the Keys app on the phone, added some speed dial keys, moved some of the stock keys around, changed labels, etc.

In my application, I want a standard set of BLFs on all phones, and some stock keys (like ACD) are not needed. So, I edited demo-user.prf and set things up the way I wanted. I run apply_prf -r, and the phone comes up with the keys as per my demo-user.prf file. However, the XML keys don’t work yet – if I press Parking, Call Fwd, etc. I get an Initial Setup prompt asking for the extension and password. I put in the info, the phone reboots, and when it comes back my demo-user configuration is gone, and the phone is back to the way it was previously, including all the modifications I did using the Keys app.

I tried deleting MAC.cfg and factory defaulting the phone, but this doesn’t help - I am asked for the extension and password once on restoration, and I get my demo-user config but no working XML keys. Pressing an XML key asks me to log in again, and then I lose my demo-user config.

I confirmed that the apply_prf –r is correctly editing the MAC.cfg file as per my setup in demo-user.prf. However, once I press an XML app key and an asked to log in again, the system is pulling the old customized key settings out from somewhere, and changing MAC.cfg to that.

I’d really appreciate it if someone could let me know how to apply my changes in demo-user.prf so that they overwrite all existing key configurations. Moreover, where are these key configurations even stored, if not in MAC.cfg?

Note sure if this is the same issue noted by Speedy2K around a month ago or not?

Thanks so much.

 

[Speedy2k]

Do a log-out and after a log-in. Log-out will remove the saved config. Log-in will reload your phone with the new config.

Do a log-out and after a log-in. Log-out will remove the saved config. Log-in will reload your phone with the new config.

Thanks, but that doesn't help. On logout I confirm that MAC.cfg is being reset to "Empty MAC File", but when I log back in I immediately get my old Keys generated button layout. I've even tried to run apply-prf during the logout, but it doesn't help (doesn't really do anything, as no extension is associated with the phone).

What's worse, I've now discovered that the Keys XML app doesn't "see" the speed dials that were configured using Keys prior to all the apply-prf and factory default attempts. So, there are now a bunch of speed dials which I cannot remove wither using the config files or using Keys.

Where is this information stored anyway? It's got to be somewhere I can delete...

Thanks again.

 

[Speedy2k]

Go into the /var/cache/aastra directories and delete everything refering to this extension. You can edit startup_asterisk file and remove everything from this extension if there is something remaining.

 

[n0h0pe]

OK - I'm new here, so please be gentle.

5-days ago (just got approved - thanks Ward), I installed the latest PIAF-17571 ISO.

Updated, so I am now at:-

Asterisk v1.8.6.0
FreePBX v2.9.0.7

I have a Aastra 57i CT Firmware - 3.2.2.56
Boot - 2.0.1.1055

Aastra 9133i Firmware - 1.4.3.1001
Boot - 1.1.0.10

I obviously don't want to trash my system so my question is will the current ? Aastra XML scripts work alright on the 57i CT ?

Thanks...Martin

Does anybody have problem with DEVSTATE in FPBX 2.9 (and Asterisk 1.8) and Aastra 2.3.1 scripts?

Aastra is showing as if DEVSTATE is set to False - but I have it set to True.

 

[Speedy2k]

Yes! I don't exactly now why, but the scripts doesn't recognize the devstate. I have forced it in a script. I will tel you later tonight what i have done to bypass this problem. In fact i have disabled the check in a function script and force the devstate to yes in it. Since it is now activated by default, there is no need to check for it. Will let you know later what i have changed

 

[Speedy2k]

Put this in your /var/www/html/aastra/include directory, keep a backup of you original. tell me if it work!
