Struggling with an IP650 and 7 IP335s this morning. I have the following hints defined (courtesy of FreePBX 2.9): extensions_additional.conf:exten => 300,hint,SIP/300 extensions_additional.conf:exten => 301,hint,SIP/301 extensions_additional.conf:exten => 302,hint,SIP/302 extensions_additional.conf:exten => 303,hint,SIP/303 extensions_additional.conf:exten => 304,hint,SIP/304 extensions_additional.conf:exten => 305,hint,SIP/305 extensions_additional.conf:exten => 307,hint,SIP/307 extensions_additional.conf:exten => 308,hint,SIP/308 extensions_additional.conf:exten => 322,hint,SIP/322 extensions_additional.conf:exten => 350,hint,SIP/350 extensions_additional.conf:exten => 400,hint,SIP/400 The Polycoms are all pulling an XML directory via FTP where each extension has "<BW>" (Buddy Watch) set to 1: <item> <ln>Mehra</ln> <fn>Ray</fn> <ct>301</ct> <sd>101</sd> <bw>1</bw> </item> This all actually works fine, and from the reception phone (the 650) I can see the status of all the extensions, and if I dig into some menus on the 335 I can see status as well. So I would expect that "core show hints" would show '8' for all extensions, but it doesn't: artha*CLI> core show hints -= Registered Asterisk Dial Plan Hints =- 300 at ext-local : SIP/300 State:Idle Watchers 7 301 at ext-local : SIP/301 State:Idle Watchers 8 302 at ext-local : SIP/302 State:Idle Watchers 8 303 at ext-local : SIP/303 State:Idle Watchers 8 304 at ext-local : SIP/304 State:InUse Watchers 8 305 at ext-local : SIP/305 State:Idle Watchers 7 307 at ext-local : SIP/307 State:Idle Watchers 1 308 at ext-local : SIP/308 State:Idle Watchers 7 350 at ext-local : SIP/350 State:Idle Watchers 1 400 at ext-local : SIP/400 State:InUse Watchers 7 ---------------- - 11 hints registered Something seems broken here. And the 650 seems to "lose" its hint for a phone once in a while, and report it as unreachable, even though it can easily make and receive calls from it. Am I tilting at windmills? Is this really unstable or has someone made it work solidly? Thanks! -- Jeff LaCoursiere SunFone 340-715-7600 x222 jeff at sunfone.com
