SUGGESTIONS Aastra XML scripts 2.3.1 Beta

[alesko]

It works - Thanks!

 

[drvcrash]

ok i have a weird problem i cant figure out. If a user is on a call and another call comes in the Hold button doesnt work. They can however press the ringing line button and it will put the current call on hold and switch to the new call.

The hold button works fine if they are on a call and no new line is ringing.

piaf 1.7.5.6
asterisk 1.8.4.1
aastra scripts 2.3.1 beta2
aastra 57i's with 3.2.2.56

Yup, we had the same problem a couple years ago. Our receptionist would try to transfer the call she was talking with so that she could answer the incoming call. But since the phone's 'focus' was on the ringing line, the incoming call got transfered and she wound up hanging up the other guy.

Doing the change that lgaetz suggested will get you the results your looking for. Alternatively, you can put the following in the cfg file:

switch focus to ringing line: 0

Thanks. I followed the thread from WarMundy that you linked to when I upgraded.

I think I will go back to 2.6.x on the 57i CT.

It looks like the charger cradle for the mobile phone has died. Is there an inexpensive replacement ?

Or I will look into investigating and replacing the parts myself.

Thanks for the help.

Welcome the the forum.

To answer your question, check this thread, post #1.

For the 57i, unless you have a compelling reason to use firmware 3.x, I recommend you stay on the latest in the 2.x branch, at least for now. I don't know anything about the 9133i.

Since you are running FreePBX 2.9, stay on top of issues as they are raised in this thread.

Gentle enough?

AastraAsterisk.php

Why does the AastraAsterisk.php file still only check for 1.6? It has no reference to 1.8 and from what I can see would treat 1.8 as though it's 1.4. Does this have something to do with the blf lights not lighting for parking and voicemail?

Where'd the download go?

I don't get anything at:http://65.205.71.13/2.3.1/install-aastra-xml.x.gzand I can't even browse http://65.205.71.13/2.3.1/anymore. The scripts at http://65.205.71.13/xml/ are still there. Did the download get moved or pulled?

 

[phonebuff]

The Aastra site repository is still up and serving pages and installation scripts..

I saw those. They are 2.2.1, not the 2.3.1.

 

[woot4fun]

Anyone know how to get to the 2.3.1 Beta Scripts?

 

[carlosmp]

Trying to piece it together by hand...

I have a copy of the install-aastra-xml.x but I attempted to run, and it seems that several of the packages are failing. Need to go line by line and see which packages. If it's just the firmware those can be manually fixed.

Softkey Lights

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

http://pbxinaflash.net/source/aastra-xml-2.3.0/install-aastra-xml.x.gz

We seemed to have come across a bug 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.

6737i

Does anyone know if the scripts support the 6737i? It's not listed in the release notes, as I think it was released after the scripts, but it seems identical to the 6757i, with the addition of Gigabit. Any other differences?

Thanks.

 

[TheShniz]

Well, the big difference is that it uses firmware 3.x... I've not tried it yet myself. I'm hoping that it will alleviate the 50 blf limit, but am not holding my breath.

Compatibility with 6735i and 6737i

Does anyone know if the scripts support the 6737i? It's not listed in the release notes, as I think it was released after the scripts, but it seems identical to the 6757i, with the addition of Gigabit. Any other differences?

Thanks.

Hi there,

Yes the scripts should be compatible with the new 6735i and 6737i, just make sure that you have the following lines in the .prf you are using (if you are using self-configuration)

[Aastra6735i]
template:Aastra55i

[Aastra6737i]
template:Aastra57i

This will apply the 6757i profile to a 6737i.

Also make sure that you are using the latest 3.x for the 6737i as we made a lot of fixes in the XML interface.

If you have issues please let us know because these are bugs, the same XML code should work for both 57i and 6737i.

 

[TheShniz]

I know everyone is dying to know, so I'll just ask... but what are your/Aastra's intentions on the future of the XML Scripts? A dead proof of concept, or will we see a rebirth with all the 3.x rewrites/fixes?

Thanks aastra1, much appreciated!

Let me echo that, I'm asking about the 6737i for a new deployment, and THE deciding factor will be the XML scripts. If the scripts will continue to evolve and be at least somewhat supported, we'll go with a 6739i/6737i deployment based on PIAF, if not then likely snom hardware will be used. It would be great for the Aastra sales and marketing people to monitor this thread and realize that the scripts absolutely drive phone sales.

Thanks again aastra1 for your good work!

 

[totalimpact]

Also - is there an ETA for a final release on 2.3.1?

Asterisk 1.8 support is crucial - for last years deployments.

Thanks for all the work you do - I know it is widespread

When will version 2.3.1 be released

The last beta came out in the spring of last year and I am wondering if Aastra has maybe given up on this project? Does anyone know if or when version 2.3.1 of the scripts may be released?


I would like to upgrade to the new version of FreePBX and Asterisk but I have not because the scripts don't support the newer versions yet.

 

[c-bonz]

Has anyone been able to get the beta 2.3.1 scripts working recently? I get an error when trying to run the install-aastra-xml.x script.

Is it time to completely give up on these?
