Yealink release V70 firmware for their T2X Sets

Yealink has announced the release of the latest Firmware V70 for its award winning IP phone SIP-T2X series.

The key feature of this new Firmware V70 is “M7”, also known as the “unified auto-provision template”. With Firmware V70, the configuration files and the deployment methods of T2X, T3X and VP530 have now been unified.

With the deployment of “M7”, end users now no longer need to maintain different templates of T2X, T3x or VP530. In other words, it lowers the learning curve and increases the business efficiency remarkably.

End users can easily convert their old templates of Yealink IP Phone T2X series and T3X series to “M7” through Yealink Configuration Conversion Tool (CCT). Firmware V70 is now available for download free of charge at www.yealink.com.

Digium G100/G200

Built on a powerful combination of the Asterisk Open Source communications engine and a state-of- the-art embedded platform, Digium VoIP Gateways provide the best value for Asterisk connectivity.

The gateway software is based on the Asterisk communications engine and is managed through Digium’s intuitive point-and-click GUI interface, which allows for easy navigation and effortless setup. VoIP gateways feature a power-saving embedded design with a highly efficient digital signal processor (DSP) handling all media-related operations.

The Digium G100 VoIP Gateway includes a single software-selectable T1/E1/PRI interface and supports up to 30 concurrent calls. It is built to support TDM-to-SIP, SIP-to-TDM and SIP-to-SIP (transcoding) applications. In a TDM-to-SIP deployment the VoIP gateway significantly reduces operating costs by connecting a legacy business phone system with dynamic SIP trunking services. SIP-to-TDM deployments use the VoIP gateway to connect a modern SIP communications system with T1/E1/PRI service from legacy carriers.

Applications

Digium VoIP Gateways are flexible solutions that fit a variety of communications applications. The applications listed below represent some of the most widely used, today. The flexible configurtation options and standards-based connectivity mean Digium’s gateway appliances can support a wide range of custom applications.

Gigaset Dect test mode

Setting test mode on the Gigaset handsets can be very useful. Detailed here is how to set a handset into test mode and what the numbers then mean. Once set go off on a walk round your site to find dead spots. Then change the base position to get the best coverage

 

 

 

The above screen Shows RX power at 100% , Frequency is 3 , TimeSlot is 02, Basestation code is 78 and finally Bit error rate is 100% (This means 100% Good not 100% error rate)

A short document on Setting test mode on Gigaset dect handsets for site surveys is available for download here. This shows you how to enable it and what each of the numbers mean.

Digium G100/200 Gateways and UK CallerID Number

The current firmware in the Digium G series gateways have a quirk that if they don’t receive caller ID name they move the caller Id number to be the Caller Id name but don’t leave the Caller Id number in place. The relies on you setting  “trustrpid=yes” in teh sip trunk configuration.

We have produced a short document on settings for using the gateway with any freePBX based asterisk solution. It can be downloaded here
