Defaulting the Visual Alerting setting on 5610s 2

[SgtWilko]

Hiya,

I might be being a bit thick here, but I can't find anyway to default the "Visual Alerting" setting to yes.

The settings stays on until the user logs off, but doesn't come back on when they log on, or from poweron.

I'm running a SOE on 3.2.59 with 5610s.


Thanks in advance.

Ian.

This can be done by using a ftp server for backup
when this is done the phone automaticly does a backup/restore everytime you logh on and of or power backup
the ftp server must be setup without username and password
also you must set some things in the 46xxsetting.txt file
if you need more info then pleas eask

The question is, can this be done with 5410's and 5420's?

No because he is talking about a 5610
digital phones do not have that option

using ftp sometimes has some nice benefits
you can make a textfiles called 4620data.txt

then you have something like this:

Extension#_4620data.txt

PersonalizedRing=0
Redial=0
PhoneScreenAnswer=0
PhoneScreenCalling=0
CallTimer=0
MessageDisplayRate=0
CallAppearanceWidth=1
VisualAlerting=0
CallLogEnable=1
Contrast=5
DisplayLanguage=6
AutomaticBackup=1
FTPServerIPAddress=192.168.66.101
FTPDirectoryPath=
FTPUserName=
AGCHandStatus=0
AGCHeadStatus=0
AGCSpkStatus=0
Phy2Status=0

Then adjust your 46xxsettings.txt file
you have to set an ftp directory
here another example:

## 4600 Site Specific `Settings

IF $MODEL4 SEQ 4610 goto SETTINGS4610
IF $MODEL4 SEQ 4621 goto SETTINGS4621


# SETTINGS4610

SET ENHDIALSTAT 0
SET FTPUSERSTAT 1
SET L2Q 1
SET SYSLANG Nederlands
SET AGCHAND 0
SET AGCHEAD 0
SET AGCSPKR 0
SET IRSTAT 0
SET OPSTAT 110
SET FTPSRVR 192.168.66.101
SET FTPDIR "c:\Program Files\Avaya\MV_IPTel\data\TFTPData"
SET RESTORESTAT 1

goto END

# SETTINGS4621

SET ENHDIALSTAT 0
SET FTPUSERSTAT 1
SET L2Q 1
SET SYSLANG Nederlands
SET AGCHAND 0
SET AGCHEAD 0
SET AGCSPKR 0
SET IRSTAT 0
SET OPSTAT 110
SET FTPSRVR 192.168.66.101
SET FTPDIR "c:\Program Files\Avaya\MV_IPTel\data\TFTPData"
SET RESTORESTAT 1

goto END


## END OF FILE

Hiya,

Is that FTP or TFTP?
And as this setting seems to be reset by login, I take it there isn't a way to set it in the 46xxsettings.txt file to avoide having one file per user?

Is there any reason why the 5610 uses a 46xxsettings file that doesn't seem (or doesn't on my installation) to have a 5610 section, or should mine have a 5610 section?

Thanks again for your help,

Ian.

 

[tlpeter]

the 46xxsettings.txt files is requested by tftp
the 4610 and 4620 file (used by 4620,21,and 25) are requested by ftp

each phone will make it's own externsion_4610data.txt
or 4620data.txt
they look like 300_4610data.txt

there is no 5610 or 5620 section

the 5610 uses the 4610 settings and the 5620 uses the 4620 setting and so on and on

Thanks tlpeter,

Just what I needed!

Strange the change from TFTP to FTP during the boot process.

 

[tlpeter]

tftp is used normaly by the ipoffice
tftp is used for sending binfiles to all the phones and the 46xxsettings.txt file for ipphones
ftp is only for the ipphones

search for MV_iptel from avaya
it is an application that is an tftp,http,https and ftp server in one application
easy to setup also

also if you want that an extension has no visual alerting then change this in the text file of that extension and reboot the phone with monitor -> ipphone status
select the phone and press reboot
you can do this al remotly if all setup right
you can even set so that the user can't change most settings
you have to change the OPSTAT 011
OPSTAT 111 Options status flags. Consists of 3 “bits” where each digit
represents a 0 (disabled/off) or 1 (enabled/on). When
OPSTAT is set to 000, all options are disabled and a
user attempt to access the Options menu produces an
error screen.
Setting the first character to 0 (001, 010, or 011) disables
the second Options menu screen, blocking user access
to Personal Ringing, Contrast Control, Backup/Restore,
Feature Button Labeling, PC Ethernet interface, and
Select Display Language.
Setting the second character to 0 (001, 100, or 101)
removes View IP Settings and Network Audio Quality
from the main Options screen, making these options
unavailable to the user. Further, setting the second
character to 0 also removes the IP address from the
Discovering... message the telephone displays while
attempting to find a media server.
Setting the third character to 0 (100, 010, or 110)
removes the Logoff option from the main Options menu,
making this feature unavailable to the user.

I've got an interesting effect...

Having backed up one 'phone, I copied the file with the intention of using the file to generate settings for everyone. I was thinking that the settings wouldn't override the buttons provided by the IPO user rights profile I removed the button lables (FB01=, etc) from the settings file.

Upon rebooting the 'phone all the lables had vanished.


I thought that the user rights would override anything else.

I've had a play, but can't see a quick way to force the user rights over the settings file.

 

[tlpeter]

don't set the buttons with the text file
those are speeddials and not buttons

There are SD for speed dials, and FB for the feature buttons.

The backup I had taken that I stripped the FBs out of showed the names of the buttons as set by the user rights.

It did also have my speed dials in that I also removed.

So any idea on this?

I'd thought about using the OPSTAT you mentioned above, but I'd still need access to the other options on that page, so diabling the page is a no-go, even if it works.


Ian.

 

[tlpeter]

You'r right
but i don't understand that the buttons set woth user rights disappear
they should stay
i think they don't show on the text file
i think you should not want to do it anyway
