Topic: SAIL how to get BLF on Aastra 5x series to work? [SOLVED]

[jester]

Hi,

I've got a pair of Aastra 57i's (one with an 560M extension module) phones, but can't seem to get BLF to work on these. They are being provisioned by SAIL (see code below) and i've got the subscribecontext=extensions and insecure=very in the "asterisk" field of the extension.

Example of provisioning code used in aastra.cfg:

Code: [Select]

expmod1 key1 type: blf
expmod1 key1 label: Operator
expmod1 key1 value: 5000
expmod1 key1 line: 1

Anyone with suggestions?!

Kind regards,
jester.

I'm guessing you are running 1.4 asterisk.  In order for BLF to work in this release you need to include the couplet limitonpeers in your sip definition for each phone you want to monitor.  The easiest way to do this is to include it aastra.cfg (which you will find in IP devices).  ...

Code: [Select]

limitonpeers=yes
You also need to include call-limit on each phone which is being monitored

Code: [Select]

call-limit=99

Hi Selintra,

Are you sure it should work by putting it in aastra.cfg ? I didn't work for me. In stead i've put it in asterisk field in the Aastra 57i phone entry under IP Devices together with the previous lines (and in all the extensions that i already created) made it work! So the entire entry (for anyone interested) to make BLF work now looks like this:

Code: [Select]

subscribecontext=extensions
insecure=very
limitonpeers=yes
call-limit=99

Thanks S.,
jester.

Sorry sorry sorry

I meant in the sip.conf header in the headers section.

thanks for pointing that out.

Anyway, glad you got it working.

Best

S

One weird thing tho'... if i call from one extension to another BLF indicates that the extension being called (and picked up) is 'busy' but the calling extension stays available ?!

Also the Aastra 57i unit (the one with the extension module) with BLF will ring shortly, but still annoying, on every BFL indication, but i'm looking for a option to change this behavior on these phones.

For anyone who likes to know, put the following in the aastra.cfg (in SAIL under IP Devices) to stop the phone ringing shortly on BLF monitoring:

Code: [Select]

play a ring splash: 0
