The myPBX web application in version 11 comes with an integrated WebRTC software phone that can be used in browsers that support WebRTC.
How it works
- The web application has an integrated WebRTC endpoint that can be controlled like a regular phone using myPBX.
- The endpoint connects to the PBX using Websocket. The PBX creates a signaling instance and a registration that controlls the endpoint.
Requirements
PBX
- Recent firmware (v11 rc1 or higher)
- myPBX license (enabled at the user object)
- enabled ICE and DTLS-SRTP
Computer
- Browser supporting WebRTC (currently Chrome, Firefox and Opera)
- Microphone or headset
Remote endpoint
- The remote endpoint has to support ICE and DTLS-SRTP. innovaphone devices from v11 rc1 do so.
Configuration
PBX
- Create a device at the user object, enter a name, check "Config VOIP" and press "Apply".
- The "Edit User" Dialog now shows a new tab with the name of the device. In that tab select "DUMMYVOIP" as the method for the Outgoing Registration.
- If you now open myPBX in a suitable web browser the WebRTC phone appears as a normal phone.
Usage
Activation
Select the corresponding device in myPBX. The browser asks for permission to access the microphone of the computer. Please accept.
Calling
Ingoing and outgoing calls can be done as usual using myPBX.
Known issues
- In RC1 the phone does not ring for incoming calls. Also ringbacktones are played.
- The WebRTC softwarephon is currently not available in the myPBX launcher because the underlying Internet Explorer does currently not support WebRTC.
