Anybody know about FreePBX
« on: 07 April 2020, 17:02:33 »

Specifically Endpoint Manager and how it's supposed to enable the full version when a Sangoma handset is plugged in

Isn't Endpoint Manager a commercial module?

Personally, I always handcraft the endpoint config files. I've been led down too many dead ends with various forms of endpoint automatic config generators in the past.

Well if you have a Sangoma handset and register it, it's supposed to enable the full Endpoint Manager - effectively the cost of a geniune handset is less than a 25yr licence so it's a no brainer... or at least it would be if it worked. I suspect I have problems with the zero provisioning function which is why the PBX doesn't know about the handset (thus unlocking Endpoint), that said, I can't even get the handset working manually.

My FreePBX knowledge is ancient so this fresh install is challenging me a bit (lot).

FreePBX hasn't really changed much in reality, though the UI is a bit more snazzy, more touch friendly, and has more AJAX/HTML5 type functionality.  It just looks different (but isn't).

Cant help with the Sangoma handsets, Bro uses Aastra handsets, I use those crap Skinny Cisco ones.

Although the default SIP module has changed to pjsip from the original Asterisk one.

The last time I had problems with a phone, my mates 13 yr old picked it up pressed no more than 5 buttons and it worked,
I had been fiddling with it for a week.

I gave the lad £20 as a thanks.

Proper phone. You know, with a curly cord.  None of this modern mobile tosh.

Well I got the handset working straight off the PBX now rather than using the Zero Provisioning Portal...  Still haven't unlocked Endpoint Manager yet but the free version supports Sangoma and Digium.

The biggest headache I had which cost me half a day was the Option 66 configuration on the switch (I'm dishing out DHCP from the L3 switch) .... one for the Cisco people here....

This no worky:-

ip dhcp pool VoIP
   Config removed
   option 66 ip 172.30.1.214
   lease 0 8

This worky:-

ip dhcp pool VoIP
   Config removed
   option 66 ascii "172.30.1.214"
   lease 0 8


I only spotted this when looking directly at the config the phone picked up and saw wingdings instead of proper detail in there.
