Topic: Remote phones

[compsos]

Hi Jeff
Just some questions about remote phones.

• In 2008 the location of the cfg files for remote phones was in Primary/html directory. Is this still the case
• Is it possible for a remote phone to have "messages" and/with links to email?

TIA

Hi Gordon

No, it was removed in V3. 

Is it possible for a remote phone to have "messages" and/with links to email?

If you mean voicemail-to-email then yes, it is just the same as a local phone in that respect, as long as you set your mail up for it.

Will the remote phone get MWI signals?

[SARK devs]

Yes it will.

Asterisk doesn't actually care if the endpoint is remote or local.  The only material difference is that we force Asterisk to use symmetrical RTP by turning on nat=yes in the extension definition.

What kind of phones you going to use?

Yealink TP26 with firmware 6.61.0.148.
Notice that Sail 3.2 is marked as discontinued. Was there a unsolvable issue with it? We have seen a couple of transfers to another extension dial a mobile number instead.

HI Gordon

V3.2 was merged back into 3.1.1 so it became unnecessary.    I'm not aware of anything in there that caused problems, it just became redundant.

So 3.2.0-16 will upgrade into 3.1.1-20 and likewise for smesailenv 3.2.0-17 to 1.0.0-30? Or just move to 4?

Unfortunately not,  you'll need to rpm -e the 3.2 rpms and the rpm -Uvh the 3.1 versions.  That should be OK, the database doesn't get trashed in a de-install but you might want to take a copy of it and any greetings you've got before you do it, just to be on the safe side.  You should be able to take straight it up to 4.0 without removal but again, I would back your stuff up first.
