The instructions from VOIP-MS are for Asterisk. FreePBX manages the config files in Asterisk. PIAF adds more functionality and options to FreePBX. Unless there's a compelling reason to do so, you should always use the GUI to manage your phone system, especially for basic stuff like setting up...

My use case is far simpler: my GF works nights. She uses the phone as her alarm clock. When she's asleep, I want all calls to go to Voicemail. If I can interrogate the hint, I can use it like a time condition is a custom dial plan. It would also be a good way for me to be able to check and see...

I looked through the system and didn't find one. Does anyone know if there might be a hint that I can interrogate that will tell me if a Wake Up Call has been scheduled for a particular extension?

I had a customer that had a problem like this - the system worked fine for about 10 days, then would just reboot. After a couple of months like that, it started rebooting every week, then every couple of days, then every day. I looked at it for a few months before I decided to start over with a...

I don't think so, since there's almost no voicemail metadata stored in the system. There are a couple of things you could try. Starting with the Asterisk CLI, you could easily check "voicemail show users" and check the "newmsg" count. If the number is greater than zero, there's a message...

I've never had any trouble, but I use chan_sccp_b so that I don't have to mess with the (typically broken) Cisco SIP image. If you are set on using this phone in SIP mode, it's time to look at the logs and figure out what the error is from the phone's registration attempts.

30 hours for design, configuration, and "burn in" seems excessive. A lot excessive. Because of the Bulk Import capabilities, even with 100 extensions, if you're spending more than a couple of hours configuring the system, you're doing it the hard way. 10 hours to cut the system over also seems...

If you came to me to do this, I'd recommend a single PBX at one location (either office or a third central location). The tricky part is the firewalling. You don't want to open your local networks up to anyone that doesn't need to be there. So, I'd set the PBX up at whichever SOHO location...

Anixter has several lines of durable/outdoor/emergency phones. I went to them for bid for an electric utility dispatch and maintenance center i did last year.

Nagios can do this without breaking a sweat.

For an infinitely short period, the time will be Pi all the way to the last digit.

Hopefully Ward will chime in, but I remember using Travelinman in PIAF Purple a couple of years ago. IIRC, you should be able to.

He had to have changed one of the contexts to make this happen. Since it was on a Trixbox, chances are it was in one of the *_custom.conf files. If we assume that you are using the context "from-trunk" or "from-pstn" to answer your incoming calls, you should be able to add a short custom...

Time to find yourself a new home. CallWithUs is still cheap if all you want is outbound. I'm liking VOIPInnovations (used to be GlobalPops).

Set your "No answer" destination to your extension. It should just ring and ring.

If it's any consolation, I had this exact thing happen to me four or five years ago. I wish I could remember what it was I ended up doing. The obvious culprits are things like config file ownership, symlink problems from the /var/www/html directories into the /etc/asterisk directory, or a...

The neutral wire is often tied to ground, which makes it hard to use for this application. The split phase problem with X10 has been a known issue for MANY years.

Applied the changes and reloaded the config after your updates? Have you restarted asterisk (amportal restart) lately?

So we're clear - I use PIAF for all of my installations, but it's the FIRST thing I install. I've done integration with PIAF and SugarCRM, Chan-SCCP-B, TimeTrex, custom dialers, A2Billing, FOP2, and a dozen other systems over the years. The difference is that I install PIAF first, then add the...

Ward makes an excellent point here - the PIAF experience is superior because of the level of detail and control provided in the system. There are solutions out there that allow you to "roll your own" installation, including source installed of the underlying software, but it won't be a PIAF system.
