Error messages on the SoftPhone

  • 400 - Bad Request - Provisioning in the system is deactivated. This function must be activated for successful use of the COMfortel SoftPhone.
  • 404 - Not Found - The phone does not exist in the system or no template has been assigned to it.
  • 477|480|60 - Send failed - The telephone system cannot currently be reached via any of the Auerproxy servers because it is not currently logged on to any Auerproxy.
  • 495 - unknown - The phone is no longer present on the system.
  • 502 - Bad Gateway - The telephone system is not currently logged on to the Auerproxy (either no Internet connection or Auerproxy deactivated in the PBX).

Important: The COMfortel SoftPhone is available licence-free for a limited period of time. The COMfortel SoftPhone can also be used in the tryout mode in the COMtrexx. For permanent use, please contact your dealer or system partner.

 

Configuring the use of the COMfortel SoftPhone in the COMtrexx

 

  • Requirement: Firmware from 1.6

     

  1. Activate the proxy service to use the COMfortel SoftPhone under Administration > VoIP > Proxy server for COMfortel SoftPhone > Use proxy
(Missing image for answer with ID 44782)
  1. Set up the phone and assign it to a user under Telephones > Assignment > +New
(Missing image for answer with ID 44784)

Note: Softphones are very often not tied to a location and are therefore created by default without a location. The correctly assigned location is necessary, among other things, so that the PBX can properly initiate an emergency call.

  1. Enter an e-mail address for the transmission of the registration information.

In principle, PBX Call Assist 5 can still be used. However, if the software assurance is not extended, the scope of features will be significantly limited: neither the Microsoft Teams app nor the latest versions of the mobile apps will be useable. In addition, systems without software assurance do not receive bug fixes and security updates, and there is no access to subsequent releases with new functions.

The price for software assurance will be around 20% of the full license price per user and year.

Yes, this will be possible. Additional costs will arise though if the software assurance is resumed after a break. We will provide more detailed information as soon as the software assurance prolongation is available in Q1/2024.

Due to ever-increasing IT security requirements and new specifications from providers, Auerswald cannot guarantee that all telephones from other manufacturers can be put into operation and used permanently with the full range of functions. Especially with older third-party telephones, which no longer receive firmware updates from the respective manufacturer, functions can only be supported to a limited extent or not at all.

Recommended action for systems possibly affected by hacker attacks:

  1. Deactivate all port forwarding to the ICT system!
  2. Check the log and make sure that the logins are traceable
  3. Change the username, PIN and admin password
  4. Check whether there are newly created sub-admins, users, participants or groups and change the passwords
  5. Change passwords for public VoIP providers
  6. Check call deflection

 

Check the following points for all profiles and properties (users, participants, groups, etc.):

  1. Check the dialling privileges
  2. Check parallel call
  3. Check call deflections
  4. Check voicemail boxes, check activation of remote control and change PINs
  5. Check the deputy functions of the voicemail boxes and the registered destinations
  6. Check Follow-Me settings

 

Check other configurations:

  1. Check whether remote access by telephone (switching functions remotely by telephone) is active. Change PINs or, if unused, switch them off
  2. Check automatic reception, check activation and registered destinations
  3. Check FMC/call through functions, check users and dialling privileges
  4. Check entries in the IP release list

 

When using Auerswald IP system telephones with integrated voicemail:

  1. Check the access data, change the password
  2. Check the destinations for call deflections
  3. Check the voicemail boxes, check activation of remote control and change PINs

Requirements:

PBX firmware 8.2 or newer

  • COMpact 4000
  • COMpact 5x00(R)
  • COMmander 6000
  • COMtrexx firmware 1.6.1 or newer

COMfortel WS-500x firmware 2.48 or newer

  • Alarm-Messaging or Alarm-Messaging-Location Licences in the DECT Manager

To use the alarm-messaging or alarm-messaging-location features, the provisioning file for the COMfortel IP DECT system must be supplemented in the telephone system.

Switching on the function:

<!-Switch on alarm messaging and location for all handsets--->.

  <oper name="set_hs_aml" value="@">
   <param name="LocationAML" value="1"/>
   <param name="MessagingAML" value="1"/>
  </oper>

OR

<!-- for individual handsets -->

  <oper name="set_hs_aml" value="IPUI des Handsets">
   <param name="LocationAML" value="1"/>
   <param name="MessagingAML" value="1"/>
  </oper>

Activate alarm server certificate:

  <oper name="set_uci">
   <param name="mosquitto.listener.enabled" value="1" />
  </oper>

Release of the ring tones in the COMfortel DECT handset:

  <settings version="1.0" productID="e2">
   <param name="AmlGlobal.0.HottestAlertNameHigh" value="High prio"/>
   <param name="AmlGlobal.0.HottestAlertNameMid" value="Medium prio"/>
   <param name="AmlGlobal.0.HottestAlertNameLow" value="Low prio "/>
  </settings>

If SIP text messages are to be displayed (e.g. with the call systems GIRA 834 Plus and Hospicall P3 or P7), the following must be added:

<!-- Set display name, priority, display duration, message memory duration and ringtone. -->

   <param name="SipProvider.0.AML_TitleText" value="GIRA Rufsystem"/>
   <param name="SipProvider.0.AML_Prio" value="3"/>
   <param name="SipProvider.0.AML_PresentationTimer" value="10"/>
   <param name="SipProvider.0.AML_TTL" value="3600"/>
   <param name="SipProvider.0.AML_AlertInfo" value="msg_melody_mid"/>

Assigning the AM and AML licenses

Download PDF (German) for setting up the messaging interfaces for the COMfortel® IP-DECT system and the COMfortel® D series via COMtrexx® autoprovisioning

Workaround for the COMfortel IP-DECT system

With firmware 2.53 the number of AM and AML licenses present in the COMfortel IP DECT system is checked. If no licenses or less licenses than handsets are active in the system, in rare cases an error message appears in the handsets after some time. In addition, this instruction saves the manual assignment of AM and AML licenses to the handsets in the DECT Manager.
You can remedy this with this workaround:
Please create a new template for COMfortel WS-500 in the phone system. Then click on Edit.
In the provisioning file, search for „<!—Enable AML for all connected handsets".

Change these parameters:

<param name="LocationAML" value="0"/>
<param name="MessagingAML" value="0"/>

In the PBX, assign the provisioning file to the DECT manager. Perform provisioning. Open the provisioning file again.

Now the tag must be commented out:
Please cut out „-->“ in the first line.

<!-- Enable AML for all connected handsets -->
<oper name="set_hs_aml" value="$(m5x0.ipui)">
   <param name="LocationAML" value="0"/>
   <param name="MessagingAML" value="0"/>
</oper>

And add at the end of the tag

<!-- Enable AML for all connected handsets
<oper name="set_hs_aml" value="$(m5x0.ipui)">
   <param name="LocationAML" value="0"/>
   <param name="MessagingAML" value="0"/>
</oper>
-->

Perform provisioning.

Subsequently, in the DECT Manager under

Settings -> Handsets

Edit the appropriate handsets and enable and save messaging:

Messaging -> Yes
