You already figured out that we spent the time to adapt the aastra XML scripts to Elastix 1.5.2 (32 bits OS).

Why is it interesting for me?

For those who are not familiar with the scripts, here is a simplified list of what the scripts can do for you:
- Self-provisioning, when you plug an Aastra phone on the network, the phone automatically discovers the Elastix server and prompts the user for a username and password. After that, the phone is fully configured. Zero touch.
- Server side DND and CFWD, you can now enable/disable DND and CFWD from the phone without using a star code, a LED will tell you if the feature is enabled
- Visual Voice mail, access to your messages and configure your VM box without calling the mail box
- Find-me follow-me configuration
- ACD agent login/logout
- ACD queues status
- Presence
- PBX Directory, speed dial
- Visual parking lets you see who is parked and allows pickup
- Meet-me conference manager
- ...

Basically they provide a bunch of end-user features as well as admin features.

Installation

From the console logged as root


Then you need to run
to create /tftpboot/aastra.cfg
and then REBOOT the server

Also you have to install a patch which fixes bugs not identified during the beta tests


The installation script will also install the latest GA phone firmware (2.5.0).

This has not been tested. the install script might have some issues which could be fixed also I think 1.3.2 did not have a tftp server.
The scripts are designed for FreePBX 2.5 you might encounter issues with some advanced functions such as find-me follow-me.

Again not tested.

Sorry

Thank you for your quick response. I will upgrade to 1.5.2 to save me from potential problems.

Just a gentle dig at aastra1 (and the hand that feeds him), the tftd is in fact in 1.3 but if you had a legacy Aastra phone it would likely not help as for example the 9133 is non DHCP compliant and couldn't find the server through DHCP even if it was there (and it was) and there is no intention of fixing that by Aastra (I have that from your own tech. support, nice guy and knowledgeable but also a little embarrassed) (Not that Aastras aren't my hardware of choice, as they are, its just that I seem to have a whole bunch of "oldies" (less than one year) that have to be used in very selected environments.)

I have it running just fine on 1.3.2. I did have the older version working by hacking at it myself but I don't think I did anything more than the scripts would do. You might need to stop http rewrite to https for the scripts folders. I have 480i's and I don't think they can deal with https. Or maybe I just don't know how to deal with it. Anyway I hope Aastra keeps some effort into the older phones. I will certainly be upgrading to the newer Aastra's as the need arises.

Thanks again for including more of your loyal customers in your efforts.

PS: They also seem to be running fine on 64 bit. Send me a couple of those fancy new ones and I will test those for you too:cheer:

Hi Raj,

Could you please be more explicit in your request? What do you mean by Pickup button? The directed call pickup is already implemented with BLF which works this way. Phone A has a BLF on phone B, phone B rings for an incoming call, Phone A BLF key indicates the incoming call, if you press it you will pickup the ringing phone as the phone autommatically the pickup sequence (**+extension by default).

So what exactly are you looking for?

Regards

Hi Aastra,

Thank you for the response.

what i meant is general call pickup *8 for a pickup group. for example in a room there are a total of 10 phones starting from A to J, any of the phone rings and we can pick up by pressing *8 without need to know the extension number which is ringing, that makes life more easier Phone A and Phone D wants to pick up the call he pressess *8 and he can talk to the person but that involves like pressing 3 buttons * 8 and then dial which is long process so if we can make it single button it would be great.

However there is one issue with this *8 that it doesnt pass the caller ID but thats diffrent issue i think but if you can please help us work out the PICKUP Button for *8, it would be great GREAT.
