this is more of a general asterisk question as opposed to astlinux.. however I
greatly value the experiences of this group.. as many are advanced and
longtime users of asterisk and associayted SIP technologies...
I have struggled in the asterisk world for years with the one thing that Legacy
PBX users seem to complain about most when switching to VOIP.. and thats the
fact that. "hey my phone reboots anytime someone makes a change to the
system!"...
I have written programs that will shoot configs to Aastra endpoints on the fly
via XML.. however it doesnt always work.. I find that say if changing BLF
keys.. the aastras quit subscribing.. (aastra support just says.. oh I dont
anything about XML.. its not supported... well then why is it in there??)
PolyComs wont take anything but a directory change it seems.. Digium phones
its a toss up as to whether they restart...
are there decent quality endpoints that will take a config on the fly and not
reboot? I realize changing SIP or IP stuff will require a boot.. but changing
buttons often seems to be a way of life amongst many office workers and they
dont like the reboots of their phones without a lot of fanfare ahead... (like
calling 20 phone users to tell them their phone will die for 20 seconds)...
coming from the Legacy world for years before entering asterisk (also many
years).. Zero downtime was always preached...
is it just something users get used to and I worry about it too much?
