Struggling with BLF and Digium Phones

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

New PBX to play with 3 new Digium phones. D70, D50 and D40. Internally they can dial each other and that works fine. I’m just having problems with them showing presences on the D70. When the D50 and D40 are talking to each other the BLF doesn’t light on the D70 and the D70 does not show the presence icon. I’m know it’s something silly. I would appreciate it if some could give it a look.

Howdy,

Best place for info? Digium’s Support department. They can be contacted directly via telephone +1 256 428 6000 or by opening a case:
digium.com/en/users/support-create-a-case/

I suspect the first thing they’re going to want to see are the contacts files that you built for the phones, e.g. contacts-internal-100.xml

If you’re provisioning the phones using the DPMA, you don’t have to worry about creating the hint in your dialplan, as the DPMA will automatically create it on your behalf. And, it’ll be in the format auto_hint_. So, that’s what your subscribe_to in your contacts xml file needs to actually subscribe to.

thanks, I will open a case with them. But this would also explain why when I do a core show hints I see double entries. One is coming from Extensions and the other is the auto_hint from the DPMA.

I suspect the problem is that your auto_hints are pointing to the extension, not the device. You should see the DPMA having registered auto_hints for your SIP peers, e.g. auto_hint_trseals when you’re doing core show hints (I think that’s the correct command, typing from home), so your auto_hints should point to that instead, e.g. auto_hint_trseals.

THAT WAS IT!

Thank you.
