My company have Grandstream gxp 2170, after I configure it with speed dial the right side always reset it self to open line with active account instead of speed dial to predefined number after each restart, I tried to reset to factory defaults & update but nothing seems to solve it, can you help?

Crossposting here to see if I can get more input.

I am running into far side echo after migrating from from Mitel/PRI to Fortivoice/SIP. Issue always occurs on our analog connections. It has been reported that out Voip phones are experiencing the issue intermittently as well, but I have not been able to replicate this.

Adjusting gain improves but does not eliminate the issue. Replacing the GS24 appliance with Grandstream ATAs does not improve the issue.

All analog phones were working without echo in the previous setup.

Hoping for some starting points on where to troubleshoot this. I have an integrator and vendor support, but my users are getting impatient. So I am hoping to get some suggestions on things to test/implement tomorrow when I have a chance to look at it again. Or if there is a source of good documentation someone could point me to, I am not afraid to do my own homework on it.

Can anyone suggest what model is good for an IP Proprietary Phone, Panasonic brand, compatible for PABX NS-300?

Hi, I am looking for a phone system for hotel with 150 rooms

I will need phone in each room and another 20-30 phones for office use.

What do you recommend for PBX phones and sip provider?

Thank you.

Hello, we are mostly using 3CX for our PBX needs. The system fits our niche customer market very well. We are very happy with it. But...

I am looking for a cloud based, self hosted alternative to fiddle with that may offer a different set of possibilities for potential new customer segments.

What I like the most with 3cx is the visual interface and simplicity but it does allow us "some" control and customisation when self hosted.

Another HUGE plus is their Raspberry PI SBC.

Anyways, any suggestions is welcome and it's nice to see this Subreddit active once again.

Cheers!

Here is an obsolete piece of recording media. Would anyone know the exact name?

It was unmoderated, I got it now.

If you work with SIP devices, VoIP deployments, or multi-tenant PBX environments, this session may be useful.

I have a couple of problems I'd like to solve at work. I listen to music/podcasts with headphones connected to me PC. I also get quite a few calls on the pictured phone. I would love to be able to use the same headphones for both calls and music. I was thinking maybe I could get a USB voice modem and plug it into the phone line. I'm just not sure if the hardware and software available would allow me to use the multiple lines and other functions of the desk phone.

I’m looking for advice on adding a phone line to our legacy Toshiba Strata system. Key details:

• Environment: recently built HR office running an aging Toshiba Strata PBX.

• Experience level: in this role only a few months; still learning the system.

• Progress so far: finally got Network eManager installed and able to launch on a Windows 10 machine.

• Roadblock: receive the error“[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).] SQL Server does not exist or access denied” when attempting certain tasks. (I am able to login to the application and do somethings.)

If anyone with Toshiba Strata or Network eManager experience can point me in the right direction, I’d greatly appreciate it.

A 10 user site wants an onsite option to replace their ancient partner system. What is even available these days? Is there anything that will be hands off for these non-technical folks for 3 decades like the Partner?

Also is anybody still here?

Hello! We've got an NEC SV9100 on prem PBX system, and the support from the reseller has been terrible. Do you have recommendations for a vendor who can provide support, or suggestions on how to find one? I've been Googling and haven't come up with much. We're based in the Bay Area. Appreciate any input! Thank you!

Hi, I was recently put in charge with saving the company some money. The company used to have 20 or so workers but COVID hit us hard and we are now a ghost town at the main location. We are currently paying about 175 bucks a month in the U.S. for a cloud hosted VoIP solution.

My boss would like the following

1. call waiting with personalized message / music

2. call recording

3. one incoming number, that bounces between 4 different extensions

4. (optional) the ability to answer the call from android and iphone

5. (optional) have the call number show up on our computer screen so we can pull up customer info

I am at the very beginning of me learning about this since I was just given the assignment. Any headstart you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Our company apparently used FreePBX before I was hired. My personal feeling is to go with zoom phone but again I only have about 2 hours worth of knowledge so far.

Hi everyone

Disclaimer: I know very little about telephony systems, so please be gentle with me!

I am looking for some advice for a replacement cloud-based telephony system, for a friend who owns a small business with around approximately 15 staff.

Here's the requirements:

- Virgin Media broadband Voom 400 Mbps download / 40 Mbps upload, I believe
- Onsite users: 7
- Offsite users (field based): 4
- Handsets would be great for the onsite users and perhaps an app for the users whom have mobiles already, based in the field
- The business makes approximately 150 calls per month - just UK domestic calls to landlines and mobiles and not International calls requirement I am aware of. They would need to keep the current business telephone number
- Call features required if possible: Call management, Caller ID and blocking, Call forwarding, Call recording, Call transfer, Call waiting, Do not disturb, Auto-attendent or Interactive Voice Response, Call queues, Music on hold, Hunt groups, Voicemail to email/Text, Video conferencing, Instant messaging/Team chat
- Contract: No more than 2 years ideally with no lock-in after the 2 years
- Unified comms on the mobile phones where they are supplied in the business (iPhone 15/16 etc.)
- Admin portal if possible
- The business currently has a tiny PBX box I think, in the offices that currently just serves just 1 extension (1 external business telephone number)
- All devices are either Windows 11 or Apple (iPhone and iPad) and they are licensed within the Microsoft 365 eco-system, so they use Teams currently. They also use Hubspot (I think!) for the CRM, so any integration within Microsoft 365 and Hubspot CRM, would be great
- Clear reporting for call stats etc

If anyone could recommend a basic solution for this, and any trusted businesses/suppliers to approach, I'd appreciate it. It has to be competitive and meet as much of the above as possible, with the constraints of this being a small business, with a limited budget.

Thanks all and apologies if I have used wrong terminology above!

Many thanks

I have a small pbx system to be used in a learning environment.

The original system was set up with a Siemens HiCom 118-2 (not by me). 5 lines, numbered 1-5, dialed through the single digit. Line 5 is connected to a sound system, answers automatically and broadcasts the call on speaker.

The HiCom 118-2 stopped working. I found a working HiPath 1220 lying around. I connected the hardware accordingly, and now I need to set it up.

I don't have the original software CD...

I'm seeking help regarding that problem. I can't find the software anywhere else, and I don't know if I can use an alternative one.

Currently, the speaker gives the continuous "waiting" tone. All phones have the same tone as expected. Dialing numbers generates the expected sound, followed by silence, and the "call failed" tone (sorry for wrong terminology, I have no experience with these systems).

I just need the HiPath to behave as the HiCom was behaving. 4 lines that can call eachother, and a 5th line acting as a speaker.

Hello,

Hey everyone,

I am trying to create a local phone system using Raspberry Pi. So far, I can create a local PBX server on one, using 3CX or FreePBX. But I am struggling to find any reference for creating an IP phone using a Raspberry Pi.

Is there any open-source implementation (API/SDK) available that I can use to create an app for a DIY IP phone?

Thoughts and opinions on managing these relics?

A friend of mine owns a small business that has a Norstar compact ICS. The gentleman that used to maintain it for him passed away recently. He needs to add one more drop and extension to the system. Any advice on where to start? There were no notes in any of the manuals. The system is currently set up with 15 sets.

I maintained a Merlin system many years ago, but nothing since.

I do not get tone on what would be the next pair on the demark block,

I don't know very much about PBX systems. We have a PBX with mostly VOIP phones and a few faxes and a couple digital phones. The phone work fine but about a month ago the faxes stopped being able to be received. If you call their number it just rings and there is no answer. But those fax machines can fax out. If I plug in one of the digital phones into those fax phones they don't turn on at all. We did have some contractor unplug a box in the server that turned off all the telephone line jacks. I plugged it in but no those phones will sometimes cut out and the we have that fax problem. What could be the issue?
