System Settings

When this module is complete, you will be able to:

Navigate the admin-level web interface pages Set a new name for your system Customize port settings (configure the timing port and

add an HTTP port) Add phones to the Access List

2

System Settings—General Page

System name: Used in emailssent by the systemIVR language: Must be

added manually

3

System Settings—Appearance

Session timeout: Automatically logs you out of web session

CDR URL: Where to send CDRsRecordings: Specify

file location

Weak passwords are biggest vulnerability to any VoIP deployment.

4

General Settings—Performance

Max number calls: If blank, the system key or CPU will limit the calls.

Process affinity mask: Tells the system which core to bind to.

Max. number of registrations: Set per extension.

Max. size config. backup file: Back up system from the OS when possible (this setting was meant for the appliance).

5

General Settings—SIP Settings

Loopback detection: Formulti-domain environments

f = shortfrom = long

sip.mcast.net: The PBX listens on this multicast address for requests from phones looking for the PBX during PnP (in SIP RFC 3261).

Remote SIP management: Used for large deployment of snom ONE servers to automatically update them via SIP NOTIFY.

* Indicates that a restart is necessary

6

Ports―HTTP and SIP

SIP Replacement List: Used when PBX is on a private address and remote phones must connect

IP Routing List: Used when you don’t have two NICs in the machine

Supports multiple transport layers

Supports HTTP and HTTPS

7

Ports―RTP

Bind the system to only one NIC.

Specify the multicast address to use.

Some UAs can send/receive RTP on different ports.

Don’t change the negotiated codec with a re-invite.

8

Ports―SNMP, TFTP, LDAP

LDAP: For address book

SNMP support: Used for polling statistics. TFTP: For firmware

updates and to send down phone’s configuration files automatically and via PnP.

9

SNMP―Keep an Eye on the System

SNMP serves different purposes– Performance measurements– Alerts when system is down (Email/SMS)

Standard tools can be used

Trusted addresses– Limit the access to sensitive information– List of allowed addresses (with or without net mask)

Available information:– Call Objects, Registrations, Messages: Resource Usage– Call Attempts, Calls: BHCA, BHCC

http://www.paessler.com/prtg - Free version allows you to monitor up to three sensors.

10

System Settings―Configuration

Click here to save the system on a remote location for restoral (pbx.tar).

Note: Clean out recording directory if it is very large.

Reload configuration files without restarting.

Import your XML-based configuration file.

11

System Settings―Configuration

Reboots the entire computer

Upload customized configuration files for use during PnP.

12

Music on Hold Sources

RTP stream:– ulaw encoded (CPU) preferred, but supports all codecs– Port must be provisioned during setup

File– Endless music sample

(default is 20 sec.)– 8 kHz, 16 bit/sample file– Keep files short

Windows version supports input from the audio input:

– External CD player, radio, external MP3 player, etc.

13

Access Lists

Allow or disallow remote devices to connect to the system.

Date and time Type of packet Rx = received Tx = transmitted Tr = transmitted

the same response again

Transport type IP address and

port the packet was received or sent to

Contains full SIP traces and other events

Easy to filter Can be saved

to file

20

Status Tab—Logging

Log Level:0 = lowest9 = highest (chatty)Default = 5 Turn on only when troubleshooting.Log level 7 gives full SIP packets.

Log length: Determines how long the log stays in the web.

Very granular

Can log just about every event easily.

21

Other messages are SIP INVITE.

Status Tab—Logging (cont’d)

Log watch list: Filters out unwanted devices.
