@NerdyDad said in Yealink DECT dongle for T41S and T42S:

Does the cordless and the deskphone both share the same extension? If so, this would be great for my wandering receptionist.

These are independent units so no. But you can put the same ext on them if the PBX supports it.

So with FreePBX and PJSIP based extensions you can have multiple devices registered all to the same ext.

Factory reset a phone and try manually programming? How about a packet capture at the site firewall, do you see attempts from that IP phone to where? I am assuming that the PBX is hosted elsewhere.

This is basically where we went. We did this series of events and it appears to be fixed...

Rebooted the firewall. Removed SIP-ALG, but this appears to have had no effect. Updated the firmware on each phone. Went to static DNS rather than DHCP set. DNS to CloudFlare instead of AD. Ensures STUN was on and set correctly. Added the PBX as a Proxy, manually enabled STUN for the proxy.

After those seven steps, all phones are now registered. Couldn't find any step there that individually made a difference.

To me looks like the DNS was caching something for the devices to get to. That's my theory.

If so, why did changing the DNS alone not fix it?

Not sure, I am just going by what you said. Basically very strange.

The resellers used to do it manually and charged $1 a phone, which is why I think adoption stalled. Plus documentation is horrible. Once you are in the portal its pretty obvious what can be done.

I have linked my GUI so that when you add a phone's mac address to my service it uses Yealink API to automatically configured RPS.

@bigbear said in Attended Call Transfer Yealink T42S and FreePBX:

Per FreePBX developer I believe Yealink hasn't been quick to follow up on compatibility testing with FreePBX releases. This was a response I got on the FreePBX forums.

Have had different transfer issues myself when using FreePBX where you would transfer and the call would ring back (with no one there) wherever the extension transferred to was not picking up the call, instead of going to voicemail.

That specific issue is PJSIP only and has a known solution. I posted it. You have to use a config file to set it though. It does not have a setting in the GUI.

The T42S line has a usb for a Bluetooth dongle though.

In fact, moving to smartphone apps and no phone might actually be the best solution of all. I guess it would depend upon how much data they use while not in the office.

Not really. They don't work as good as one might hope. It is usually easier for the sales person to jsut call with their mobile. everyone is expected to have one anyway.

Yeah, not that comparing to Altigen is ever valid, but the MaxMobile app is "meh" at best.

Zoiper doesn't work?

Zoiper is just finicky at the best of times, and for whatever reason I've had no luck when on LTE instead of WiFi with it.

I use it regularly on LTE with little problem unless I am driving down 55.

Well, considering Motorola.... I'm going with the whole Lenovo breaking things.

get a real cell phone. 😉

Of course, and asap, but, money 😞

@dashrender said in Sample Configuration files for Yealink T42S:

Here are a few settings many people might like. These will present popups on the phone for each thing mentioned.

features.forward_call_popup.enable = 0
features.missed_call_popup.enable = 0
features.text_message_popup.enable = 0
features.voice_mail_popup.enable = 0

That is certainly a case by case group of settings. I have those disabled about half of the time..

Agreed.

@networknerd said in Yealink Phone Provsioning Strategy:

Just out of curiosity, which PBX are you using in conjunction with the Yealink phones?

I realize this does not scale well, but when we rolled out Yealink phones,we ended up doing a manual configuration of each phone. It was simple and didn't require us to configure some kind of provisioning server. But in truth, I always wanted to setup a provisioning server to learn how to do it.

Elastix (assuming you have not migrated) and FreePBX both expose /tftpboot for this.

I do not have any Elastix instance running, but I do believe it was accessible from http as well as tftp.

In FreePBX you specify which services are available in the Firewall and SysAdmin modules.

Then you just drop the files into /tftpboot and access them however. With a local install you can use tftp or with a remote install you can use https so that the SIP credentials never go over the internet in the clear.

For example, here is my phone's (redacted) config file.

https://fpbx.bundystl.com:1443/00156565xxxx.cfg

None of you should be able to access it, but it is redacted just in case 😛

When I navigate to the URL from an allowed network, I see it though.
