FreePBX 14 and HA
Will the 14 HA be a different module than the current HA module? With regards to pricing? It is apparent they will function differently but if I purchase an HA module right now will it allow me to use the new HA module when it is released? Thank you and I’m looking forward to seeing the new module!
Storage upgrade issues
That was close. Resize2fs exited with an error. Did some digging, and found that it would not have helped on my release (which is my fault. I should have provided more information). The good news is that I have backups of the server through Vultr (including the at-request snapshot)
Looks like I need to do the following:

Late night Shawn is a poorly operating Shawn. I’ll run this tonight after close of business and see how it goes. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Hang up from key / dial pad
I know this is months from where you were, but assuming that the elevator is the one sending the DTMF, you could make a Misc Application that goes to the Terminate Call application, Assign it to some arbitrary extension (i.e. 900), and then have the elevator phone send ## {pause} 900#.
The ## will initiate a transfer, pause to give a second for dial tone, and then 900 being the extension, # to complete the transfer, transferring to a extension that hangs up on you.

Yes that is correct. In 14 it will be a new module but same license.
Storage upgrade issues
Keep us posted. Thanks
FreePBX 14 and HA
Maybe I’m misunderstanding but why would you purchase the licence now as 14 doesn’t currently support HA.
Surely you would purchase once HA is available and you are ready to convert standalone to cluster.
FreePBX 14 and HA
It doesn’t sound quite right I agree. It is a bit of a unique situation where I am moving a deployment id that has HA associated with it as opposed to making a brand new deployment. I didn’t want to transfer the deployment id which in turn would transfer the HA license if the HA license wasn’t going to work. Not sure if that makes sense
Contact pictures on Sangoma phone are incorrect
@tm1000 This sounds really familiar to me - wasn’t there a report like this last year about this time? I’m almost certain there was a resolution to this, but I don’t think it was the phone that was the culprit… I could be mistaken, of course. I’m old enough to have programmed on paper tape and TTY40s, so I might just be losing it.
MIgrated from 6.12.65 to 10.13.66 and now FAX not working
Hello,
Can anyone help me with this issue? I have searched many blogs but cannot find the solution to this issue.
Thanks!

Ahh understood - makes perfect sense.
Good luck with your project!
Best practices for branch offices
There are lots of ways this can go. A lot depends on the number of branch offices, how they communicate internally, how they connect externally, the number of extensions at each off, the total number of extensions, etc.
For small numbers and good interconnectivity, the VPN is a good solution. For large numbers of offices with a small number of phones, the VPN configuration at the head end might get a little intense. If you already have VPNs running, or want to implement VPNs, this is a good way to justify that decision.
If you have poor interconnectivity or poor internet service at one or more location, a stand-alone system might be the right choice.
If your locations have static IP address (as most commercial spaces should), you could also (I can’t believe I’m saying this) consider cloud services for all of your phones. Of course, that depends on good connectivity again, but is a good option.
If you have mobile users (phones that travel), setting up a system that relies on VPN is another good solution. If you go that route, you can implement it with a single server or multiple servers (depending on how your outbound caller ID needs to look).
In other words, there are many factors that go into this decision. If you can use a stepwise approach (do the main office first, then implement whatever solution you want at one of the branches and repeat) you might find that a hybrid of these solutions ends up being the way to go.
Asterisk and/or FreePBX will crash several times a week
I did not have that issue with that version. If you are using the distro try doing a “yum update” just to see if its a problem that was already fixed.
Best practices for branch offices
Typically we’ll get a main branch with 30-50 employees then a few remote offices with about 5-10. I figure inbound and outbound its best to use local pbx or SIP trunking. But internal branch to branch is where I’m wondering is best. If we set each branch to a different extension block of numbers (main 1000, branch1 1100, etc) then use something to connect the phone systems together with trunking. Just not sure the best way.
I figure if they only have 1-5 phones we’d just VPN the phones to the main pbx as it’s not a huge deal if their phones are down when HQ is down.
Asterisk and/or FreePBX will crash several times a week
These aren’t modules tailing to load - they are config files that aren’t available and are (therefore) disabling the loaded modules. If you want to not load the modules, you need to set them to noload.
I’ve got servers running in call centers that have multi-hundred day uptimes, so the stability of the FreePBX system isn’t really an everyday issue. To me, what you are describing doesn’t sound like a FreePBX problem - it sounds more like hardware to me.
I’ve seen this problem before on other systems. On one, it was a typo in a config file that wasn’t caught during boot-up (which isn’t a problem any more) and the others were all bad hardware (a bad CPU in one machine and bad RAM in the rest). Could you run a low-level system test (like a stand-alone RAM test) and see if you are getting a stuck bit or something is losing it’s mind when it gets hot?
Another place to look would be in /var/log/messages and make sure you aren’t getting any hardware errors (CRC errors on a drive, for example) that might contribute to the machine losing it’s mind.
Also, as noted: ‘fwconsole reload’ should be your first choice for refreshing the system. The second is ‘fwconsole restart’, which will stop and start the server. The first shouldn’t dump your calls but might not solve your problem. The second one will dump your calls and probably solve the problem temporarily.
Bulk/Global DPMA Configuration
Perhaps you need to talk to the Digium folks about it. The FreePBX solution for this is one of the two EPM system (commercial and open source).
CallerID in FreePBX not display correct?
Where? Some places do not pass caller ID name from the sender, others will only match the number to a national database of registered caller ID numbers.

Fax Pro outbound with one number for different users
Hi,
we’ve bought and activated the Fax Pro module a few days ago. We also managed to send and receive faxes with it.
But I didn’t find a way to achieve the following:
We have one main faxnumber. The receiving part will be collected by the info@ email address.
But we like to allow some users to use the main faxnumber to send faxes. Preferably by including the fax in their own UCP.
Of course we can give them the credentials and have them log in as the fax user, but this is unconvenient for the users…
Would this be possible and how?
Thanks in advance.
