Topic: selintra-sail-2.1.11-187 - Sipura auto-provisioning release

[SARK devs]

Hi,

-187 is now up on the ftp site.  You can get it from

http://selintra.com/docs/cgi-bin/view/Main/DownLoadPages

It has automatic provisioning with, or without, dhcp option 66, for the following Linksys/Sipura devices; SPA-841, SPA-941, SPA-1001, SPA-2001, SPA-2002, SPA-3000.

To enable this feature you will need to install tftp-server from CentOS base (yum tftp-server).   We have created a guide on the docs site to help you configure your system.  

http://selintra.com/docs/cgi-bin/view/Main/DocChapter254

Once the tftp server is running you can define a new extension (or trunk in the case of the spa-3K) to SAIL and SAIL will provision the device for you.  You simply need to plug it in and switch it on.

Kind Regards

Selintra

Perfect, works just as advertised.

By the way, there is a bug in the Pennytel Carrier setup.

results in the following error message when trying to establish a call.

WARNING[8457]: app_dial.c:773 dial_exec_full: Dial requires an argument (technology/number)

After deleting it and reconfiguring it works perfect.

Hi Jon,

Glad you like the provisioning stuff.  On the Pennytel thing, can you send through the correct set-up? We'll put it into the next release.

Thanks again Jon

Hello Jon,
"After deleting it and reconfiguring it works perfect"
Could you elaborate, I do not understand and would like to install pennytel...
Thanks, chris.

Chris,

Take a note of the existing Pennytel template settings in Carriers. Screenshot, copy and paste to notepad, whatever takes your fancy.

Delete Pennytel then add a new Carrier called Pennytel with the exact same settings.

This is the bug. The Pennytel settings look correct but just will not connect giving the error I posted in the previous post.

i have got aterisk and sail installed and am trying to make a couple of aastra sip phones work on it.  No luck so far, I have installed tftp but the phone does not seem to find any config.

any ideas?

Hello Brian

We don't currently support auto-provisioning for Aastra phones.  Right now we support all Sipura, Grandstream and Snom units.  However, having said that, I have a shiny new Aastra 9133i sitting on my desk fresh from the UK distributor and we've promised to put the range (9112, 9133 and 480) at the top of our provisioning todo list.   Realistically, with our current workload, it will be about three weeks before we can get them in.

In the meantime, the Aastra manual set-up is very straightforward and I can testify that they are excellent value-for-money units which work very well with SAIL.   If you have any trouble, e-mail us at admin@selintra.com or call on +44 (0) 845-868 9435 (office hours) and we'll talk you through it.


Kind Regards

Selintra
