Re: [asterisk-users] Changing labels on Phones
[mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Julian We have several types of phones, Cisco 79xx, Aastra 9133i etc. We have a hotdesk type system where anyone can log on to an extension - however what I would love to do is relabel the phone with the current owner when this logon happens. I know that I can change the sip.conf and phones tftp file, however this is a big problem with the Cisco's as they take *forever* (ok, maybe 2 / 3 minutes) to reboot (VLAN problem) 1) Has anyone actually solved this VLAN issue with the cisco ? 2) Is there any way of changing a label without rebooting the phone ?

Re: [asterisk-users] Changing labels on Phones
If you just want to change the SIP configuration on the phone remotely there are a few prerequisites: 1) Upgrade your phone's firmware to a recent release. In the phone's config file on the tftp server: 2) Set telnet_level set to 2. Make sure it stays at 2 when you create your new config file for the phone, otherwise you won't be able to redo this via telnet. 3) You need a phone_password set. If the phone was not loaded with the telnet_level at 2, you will need to reboot the phone manually first for this method to work. With those two items out of the way, you (or your script/program) can telnet to the phone and issue an erase protflash which will cause the phone to erase the current SIP configuration and re-read the SIP config files only - without the painful reboot. Takes about 11 seconds on my old 7960 to do. There are some security risk associated with the above, but if you understand them and live with them or can mitigate them in other ways, you're set. -Elliot -Original Message- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan Thurman Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 10:20 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Changing labels on Phones [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Julian We have several types of phones, Cisco 79xx, Aastra 9133i etc. We have a hotdesk type system where anyone can log on to an extension - however what I would love to do is relabel the phone with the current owner when this logon happens.

I can't find the script that I found to do this, but I'll keep looking when I get a chance. -Jonathan /snip Here is the snippet of code that I use to set the image on the 79x1 series (should plug right into my reboot script via the link posted by Jonathan): $actions['setimage'][0] = array(0 = Key:Settings, 1 = .3); $actions['setimage'][1] = array(0 = Key:KeyPad1, 1 = .3); $actions['setimage'][2] = array(0 = Key:KeyPad2, 1 = 5); $actions['setimage'][3] = array(0 = Key:KeyPad2, 1 = 3); $actions['setimage'][4] = array(0 = Key:Soft1, 1 = 7); $actions['setimage'][5] = array(0 = Key:Soft2, 1 = 1); $actions['setimage'][6] = array(0 = Key:Soft3, 1 = 1); $actions['setimage'][7] = array(0 = Key:Soft3, 1 = 1); And here is how I set the ringer: $actions['regularring'][0] = array(0 = Key:Settings, 1= .3); $actions['regularring'][1] = array(0 = Key:KeyPad1, 1 = .3); $actions['regularring'][2] = array(0 = Key:KeyPad1, 1 = .3); $actions['regularring'][3] = array(0 = Key:KeyPad1, 1 = 4); $actions['regularring'][4] = array(0 = Key:KeyPad1, 1 = .1); $actions['regularring'][6] = array(0 = Key:Soft1, 1 = 1); $actions['regularring'][7] = array(0 = Key:Soft3, 1 = 1); $actions['regularring'][8] = array(0 = Key:Settings, 1 = .1); I guess I should update my blog with the new version :) *note*: These key sequences are correct on 8-4-1S, I know they have changed in previous firmware changes and chances are they have/will change with versions beyond 8-4-1S.

Re: [asterisk-users] Changing labels on Phones
Sometimes they reboot when you try this, but usually not - but you can just change one setting in the network configuration (eg: change the phones IP address), and it will go through just the very last part of it's normal boot process, and re-pull it's TFTP configuration, and update things - still takes around 20 to 30 seconds, so not really what you are looking for - but I've been looking for a way to do this for about three and a half years!

I don't believe these is a way to change the label without rebooting the phone. However, changing the label is probably not really the right way to go about this. For example, I have created an Asterisk system for a call centre that uses hot desking with Polycom phones, and those phones then use the built in web browser with an auto-refresh rate that contacts a website (internal) that runs a PHP script that returns the currently logged in person. This is done via a database and using Asterisk realtime for the registrations so the information is available to the PHP script. There is likely a similar web browser in the Cisco and the Aastra that can use this same type of approach.

Re: [asterisk-users] Changing labels on Phones
I have done a similar exercise for Grandstream GXP2000 phones, to display the extension number, user name, DND status. It uses apache, php and mysql. Uses SIP Notify to update the phone's display. Phone display status changes within 2 seconds. I published the initial test version at the following address, http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/GXP-2000+XML+Idle+Screen We do have some CISCO 7940's but never got around to doing the XML to play the appropriate deck of cards.
