This really old post gives a clue on what the structure is for their firmware numbering.

http://forum.yealink.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1661

The template of Firmware name of Yealink phone is X1.X2.X3.X4

(1) X1 means the Phone Model

X1- Phone Model

T4 Series
35 - T48G
28 - T46G
29 - T42G
36 - T41P

(2) X2 means the Major version number

X2-Major version number
61 - V61
70 - V70
71 - V71
72 - V72

(3) X3 means the Custom or Neutral version

0 or 1 means Neutral version
Non 0 or 1 means Custom version

(4) X4 means the Minor version
Yealink will release some minor versions after solving some bugs.

@JaredBusch That's nuts!

Awesome, I may have to check that out. Thanks for the update.

This is the thread that pointed me to the Uniden equipment.

@stuartjordan said in Yealink T19PE2 FreePBX:

I personally like freepbx and will continue using it, the interface is a bit dated I must admit, but that doesn't bother me.

FreePBX interface is definitely dated. But also .... why would the interface ever matter that much? But even if it did, I've used 3CX and their interface was far worse.

some changes to the configuration of the phone.

This is one reason I want it done, but rarely do i need to do it from the PBX itself.

Because I create my own config files, I do not get the magic "rebuild config and reboot" button that the paid EPM has in FreePBX.

Generally I only need this when things happen like today when an internal FreePBX system went unexpectedly offline and was rebooted along with the entire Hyper-V server.

BLF subscriptions seem to not update real well to events like that.

Understood, talking about the Paid EPM, Do you see a reason to use it in the Small Business World?

Loads. Even for internal staff, why walk to a phone if you can reboot from your desk?

I like the exercise. 🙂

Finally got this working, reporting my issues here incase someone with similar issues stumbles upon this thread.

The T54W phones would not download the xml files by https (may be because I do not have a valid certificate setup). I could via the xml files in browser on https but phones would wait awhile and fail.
I am doing auto provisioning via http, but my default admin port was set to 8080. I could not download xml files via http with admin port on 8080.
Once I changed the admin port back to default 80, I was able to download xml files via http.
Phones can now download the php/xml files via http.
I changed permissions for the php files back to rw/rw/r with owner asterisk:asterisk

Auto Provisioning was another headache. Eventually I found out that I had the config settings wrong, was using features.remote_phonebook.data.1.url instead of the correct remote_phonebook.data.1.url

My working basefile edits (using EPM):

directory_setting.remote_phone_book.enable = 1 remote_phonebook.data.1.name = Internal remote_phonebook.data.1.url = http://<pbx-ip>/ylab.php features.remote_phonebook.enable = 1 remote_phonebook.data.2.name = External remote_phonebook.data.2.url = http://<pbx-ip>/cm_to_yl_ab.php

With directory_setting.remote_phone_book.enable = 1
You do not need the favorite_settings.xml to enable the remote directory. But it will put local directory as the first option and remote phonebook as the second option after hitting the directory key.

I have added this code to change the order:

directory_setting.local_directory.priority = 2 directory_setting.remote_phone_book.priority = 1

Or to get rid of the local directory

directory_setting.local_directory.enable = 0

Yealink has a Config Parameter Excel file that has all the config parameters and reading it is what lead me to find my mistake.

Highfive is a great product. I helped a client demo it, but they decided they did not want to get into actual video conference meetings after using it for a few meetings.

@JaredBusch wow, that is seriously weird.

Yeah it's not something we care for, as there are to many nuances for a system that has no tie in to what we need

@jaredbusch said in Sample Configuration files for Yealink T42S:

@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.

This whole notion that the phone is it's own system is what's frustrating to me personally.

DND on the phone is not DND on the PBX (in fact I have no idea what the PBX sees in that case - I'd guess it sees the phone simply busy).
But this is not what a company with an phone admins/operators would want. For example, in my case, my company wants the operators to be able to remove DND from a phone at the operators choosing. But in the case where the phone is DND'ed, they can't do that.
This type of stuff leads to split brain thinking - where is the problem? oh yeah - duh, I'm an idiot and I setup DND on the phone, and then didn't program a button on the phone to use the DTMF function of the PBX to set DND status.

Yep I'm just bitchin'.

That's always been there, even with analogue phones. Just most people didn't buy phones that powerful.

Of course analogue phones could be that way, any type of device could be. Heck my old home analogue phone had a contact list feature. But my home phone service never did, so it was never a conflict.

Psst - I do believe that some home phone analogue providers did offer phone system based contact lists/quick dialing.

It was all in your PBX. An analogue PBX could have all these same options.

uh what? my home phone was in my PBX?

You PBX was the CO in this case.

Sure, for the second option I mentioned, but in the case of my phone having a contact list, that had nothing to do with the CO or a PBX, it was all inside my phone at home. Oh, yeah, I said all of this already.

The PBX for your phone at home is the CO. This is not a hard concept. The CO has all these features too.

So yes. your home phone always had this functionality.

@dustinb3403 said in Confirming QoS for VOIP on Procurve 2848:

Ok cool.

Now looking at another switch 46 and 48 have a priority of 7, and 26 a priority of 4. (without an override).

Should I set everything to be like below?

46-7
48-6
26-4

Doesn't really matter. If you have no traffic on any other DSCP tags those priorities never apply.

Also does not matter much if you are not saturating the switch port in the first place.

@gjacobse said in Yealink TPx: Dial number for GUI:

I wanted to use the Dial Number in the Directory tab of my Yealink.
0_1502392902977_2017-08-10 15_19_48-Yealink T20P Phone.png

But it does not work:

0_1502392891806_2017-08-10 15_21_03-Yealink T20P Phone.png

Since I think this is separate from the PBX itself, I think it's with the phone? just not sure... Any thoughts?

It should dial a number there just like dialing on the dial pad.

That said. You have freepbx. Just use the UCP to dial.

@bigbear said in VOIP Phone Suppliers:

@jaredbusch so they stock Yealink there too?

Did not check shipping on the last order.

Unlocked. Post about conference phones here.

May not be absolutely current to the month but here is an idea on Yealink pricing....

T42S $85
T46S $130
T48S $175

T52S $106
T54S $143
T56A $212
T58A $220
T58V $270

YEA-EXP50 $76

Been working with Yealink support on this and after confirming this happening with the T46G and the T42G phones, their support upped the severity and I got an answer back to add the below setting to the configuration files.

transfer.hang_up_after_success_trans = 3

I did so on the T46G, disabled the custom firewall rules, and had the operator repeat the transfer.

No ghost ringback.

I'll leave the custom firewall disabled and see if it stays good all day.

I'll test in more detail over the weekend or on Tuesday, whichever time I have a tech on site.
