The innovaphone PBX can be administered here.
The fundamental operating modes of the PBX are configured on this page. These parameters are stored in the config file. All other PBX config is stored in the LDAP.


* '''PBX Mode:''' The PBX mode ''Off'', ''Master'', ''Slave'' or ''Standby''.
{|
** '''Off''' - The PBX is disabled.
|valign=top nowrap=true|'''PBX Mode'''
** '''Master''' - Operates the PBX on this device as the master. Where several PBXs are operated in combination, there must be one PBX configured as the master.
|The PBX operating mode
** '''Slave''' - Operates the PBX on this device as the slave. A slave must register with a master.
* '''Off''' - The PBX is disabled
** '''Standby''' - Standby PBX for the master. Monitors the functioning of the master and becomes active (as the master) if the master PBX is no longer available.
* '''Master''' - The PBX on this device acts as Master. Within a multisite installation exactly one PBX must be configured as Master.
* '''System Name:''' The system name. For H.323 terminals, this is the gatekeeper identifier.
* '''Standby''' - The PBX on this device acts as Standby for the Master. As long as the master is available, this PBX is  not active, but just monitors the Master. If the Master is not availabe this PBX is active.
* '''PBX Name:''' The PBX name. If several devices are operated in combination, every device with a PBX component must be allocated a unique name. This name is also used for identification when a slave registers with a master.
|-
* '''Unknown Registrations:''' A checked check box allows unknown registrations. These are terminals that have no gatekeeper ID allocated and try to register with a gateway via the Gatekeeper Discovery.
|valign=top nowrap=true|'''System Name'''
* '''Music On Hold URL:''' If a valid path (URL) to a music on hold file is specified here, then it is played as soon as a call is put on hold.<br>The URL can be specified in the following format: ''<nowiki>http://192.168.0.1/webdav/moh.$coder?coder=g729,g711a&repeat=true</nowiki>''<br>The specification of the wildcard ''.$coder?coder=g729,g711a'' in place of the file extension ''.g729'' enables several formats to be specified. They must be specified separated by a comma and must be available on the Web server. With the addition ''&repeat=true'', an automatic repeat can be enabled.
| The system Name. On all PBX within a multisite installation the same System Name must be configured. For H.323 endpoints this name is the gatekeeper identifier, for SIP endpoints it is the server name.
* '''External Music On Hold:''' For load balancing purposes, the music on hold can be read from a different device. This device can register with the name configured here. If no name is configured, the music on hold of the local device is read.
|-
* '''CFNR Timer:''' Global timeout (in seconds) for a call diversion when there is no response, unless configured differently for the respective user.
|valign=top nowrap=true|'''PBX Name'''
* '''No. of Regs w/o Pwd:''' Number of possible registrations without a password entry.
|The name of the PBX on this device. With this name a PBX is associated to a node. The field 'Name' (not Long Name) of a PBX Node object relates to this name.
* '''Recall Timer:''' Time, after which the call is sent back to the switching user following a failed switching attempt (recall). If no value is configured, no recall is made.
|-
* '''Pickup Prefix:''' The prefix that is to apply to the pickup group.
|valign=top nowrap=true|'''Unknown Registrations'''
* '''Enable External Transfer:''' A checked check box enables external call switching.
|If this checkmark is set, the PBX accepts 'unknown' registrations. This means registrations with no matching object configured. If from an endpoint registered in this way a number of an object is dialed, which has no registration active and no 'HW-ID' configured the name used for the registration is configured as 'HW-ID' of this object. This is an easy way to deploy large numbers of phones.
* '''Route External Calls to:''' Here, you specify the long name of the PBX object of the PBX type, to which external calls are to be routed.
|-
|valign=top nowrap=true|'''Music On Hold URL'''
|A URL for the Music On Hold. This file is read by the PBX using HTTP and sent to a held endpoint via RTP. The format of this URL is ''<nowiki>http://<addr>/webdav/<file>.$coder?coder=g729,g711a,g711u,g723&repeat=true</nowiki>''. <addr> is the IP address of the http server, no dns name is allowed here. <file> is the filename. $coder will be replaced by the actual coder used. g729,g711a,g711u,g723 is a list of available coders. Only the coders may be specified for which a corresponding file exists.
|-
|valign=top nowrap=true|'''External Music On Hold'''
|To offload the device from playing the Music on hold, the Music On Hold can be played by a seperate device. This device can register with a name configured here. To retrieve the Music On Hold a call is sent to this device. For each held endpoint a call is sent.
|-
|-
|valign=top nowrap=true|'''CFNR Timer'''
|Global timeout (in seconds) for a call forward no response. A CFNR timeout configured for a user overrides this value.
|-
|valign=top nowrap=true|'''No. of Regs w/o Pwd'''
|Number of registration without password authentication which are allowed per user. If 0 is configured no registration without password is possible.
|-
|valign=top nowrap=true|'''Recall Timer'''
|A value configured here enables recall after transfer. If a call is transfered and not answered within this time, the call is sent back to the transfering endpoint.
|-
|valign=top nowrap=true|'''Pickup Prefix'''
|Prefix used for pickup without H.450 operations. By dialing this prefix followed by a number a call can be picked from that number (directed pickup). If the prefix is dialed followed by '#' any alerting call of a group in which the picking user is active member can be picked.
|-
|valign=top nowrap=true|'''Enable External Transfer'''
|Unless this checkbox is set any attempt to transfer an external call back to an external destination will result in disconnection of the call.
|-
|valign=top nowrap=true|'''Route Root-Node External Calls to'''
|Destination (Long Name) of Root-Node external calls. This configuration option is available on the Master or Standby PBX only. Any call call which cannot be terminated inside the PBX is sent to this destination as long as neither the source nor the destination of the call can be associated with a node with a PBX configured.
|-
|valign=top nowrap=true|'''Route PBX-Node External Calls to'''
|Destination (Long Name) of PBX-Node external calls. Any call call which cannot be terminated inside the PBX is sent to this destination as long as the source nor the destination of the call can be associated with the node of this PBX.

The fundamental operating modes of the PBX are configured on this page. These parameters are stored in the config file. All other PBX config is stored in the LDAP.

PBX Mode The PBX operating mode
  • Off - The PBX is disabled
  • Master - The PBX on this device acts as Master. Within a multisite installation exactly one PBX must be configured as Master.
  • Standby - The PBX on this device acts as Standby for the Master. As long as the master is available, this PBX is not active, but just monitors the Master. If the Master is not availabe this PBX is active.
System Name The system Name. On all PBX within a multisite installation the same System Name must be configured. For H.323 endpoints this name is the gatekeeper identifier, for SIP endpoints it is the server name.
PBX Name The name of the PBX on this device. With this name a PBX is associated to a node. The field 'Name' (not Long Name) of a PBX Node object relates to this name.
Unknown Registrations If this checkmark is set, the PBX accepts 'unknown' registrations. This means registrations with no matching object configured. If from an endpoint registered in this way a number of an object is dialed, which has no registration active and no 'HW-ID' configured the name used for the registration is configured as 'HW-ID' of this object. This is an easy way to deploy large numbers of phones.
Music On Hold URL A URL for the Music On Hold. This file is read by the PBX using HTTP and sent to a held endpoint via RTP. The format of this URL is http://<addr>/webdav/<file>.$coder?coder=g729,g711a,g711u,g723&repeat=true. <addr> is the IP address of the http server, no dns name is allowed here. <file> is the filename. $coder will be replaced by the actual coder used. g729,g711a,g711u,g723 is a list of available coders. Only the coders may be specified for which a corresponding file exists.
External Music On Hold To offload the device from playing the Music on hold, the Music On Hold can be played by a seperate device. This device can register with a name configured here. To retrieve the Music On Hold a call is sent to this device. For each held endpoint a call is sent.
CFNR Timer Global timeout (in seconds) for a call forward no response. A CFNR timeout configured for a user overrides this value.
No. of Regs w/o Pwd Number of registration without password authentication which are allowed per user. If 0 is configured no registration without password is possible.
Recall Timer A value configured here enables recall after transfer. If a call is transfered and not answered within this time, the call is sent back to the transfering endpoint.
Pickup Prefix Prefix used for pickup without H.450 operations. By dialing this prefix followed by a number a call can be picked from that number (directed pickup). If the prefix is dialed followed by '#' any alerting call of a group in which the picking user is active member can be picked.
Enable External Transfer Unless this checkbox is set any attempt to transfer an external call back to an external destination will result in disconnection of the call.
Route Root-Node External Calls to Destination (Long Name) of Root-Node external calls. This configuration option is available on the Master or Standby PBX only. Any call call which cannot be terminated inside the PBX is sent to this destination as long as neither the source nor the destination of the call can be associated with a node with a PBX configured.
Route PBX-Node External Calls to Destination (Long Name) of PBX-Node external calls. Any call call which cannot be terminated inside the PBX is sent to this destination as long as the source nor the destination of the call can be associated with the node of this PBX. If a call is sent from or to an object defined inside the node of this PBX or in a node hierachically below the node of this PBX the call is associated to the node of this PBX.

Slave PBX

If the PBX is operated in Slave mode, then the Slave PBX section is displayed

Master The IP address of the PBX master
Alternate Master The IP address of an alternative PBX master (standby, if available
Password The password to be used for registration at the Master as configured in the Node Object

Standby PBX section

If the PBX is operated in Standby mode, then the Standby PBX section is displayed

Master The IP address of the PBX master

Licenses section

A list of all installed PBX license with their current usage is displayed here.

Registrations section

The current number of registrations and the limit as defined by the installed licenses is displayed here.
