SPA962 and SPA932 with Astriks Server

[computechsos]

Question for those running Linksys SPA962 phones with SPA932 side cars, what features on the Asteriks server needs to be turned on.

We had a SPA9000 and SPA400 PBX and were having to many issues with it reseting along with no firmware to make the BLF work. We now switched our PBX to a hosted Asterik PBX with Teliax, I wanted to find out which functions need to be enable on the server for the phones to have BLF working.

I am assuming the syntax for the buttons on the SPA932 is

fnc=sd+blf;ext=extension number;nme=extension name;sub=extension number

First thing is to have the phones you wish to monitor publishing hints - do this in extensions.conf like this, per phone to monitor:
"exten => 50,hint,Sip/50"

In sip.conf, you can configure the following, although I think the default settings probably also allow hints/subscriptions to work:

allowsubscribe=yes
subscribecontext=internal
limitonpeers=yes
notifyringing=yes
;notifyhold=yes


Second thing is to have the SPA 932 subscribe to those hints - which is what the config lines on the SPA932 lines do.
(My test unit is off-site at the moment, so I can't easily look up the config that I put in to make it monitor Asterisk phones.
Others here may have that info to hand. I worked it out from the info in this thread, and a bit of trial and error!

In the Asterisk console you can issue the commands:

core show hints

and

sip show subscriptions

to see which phones are publishing hints, and which phone(s) are subscribing to the hints.

Hope that helps.

We have 13: SPA962 phones with SPA932 and I am trying to let our Virtual PBX hosting company know what settings need to be active for our phones to work with the BLF (presence) feature. Also if the syntax for the SPA932 buttons are different then what I had when you do get back to the your SPA962 phone if you could post the exact syntax that would be helpful
