Mitel MX-ONE VAD/CNG/Silence Suppression

To determine if "Silence Suppression" is activated:

~>sip_route -print -profile Default | grep MediaSendCN
MediaSendCN: yes

Surprised to see it is set to yes? So was I. Documentation regarding the MGU pointedly states that VAD/CNG (Voice Activity Detection / Comfort Noise Generation) negatively impacts voice quality, but does improve DSP resource usage.


To fix:
1. Edit the appropriate profile to "no"
2. Restart SIPLP
3. sip_route -print -profile Default | grep MediaSendCN

An alternative is to edit VARC parameter D7, but the recommendation is editing the sip trunk profile.

MVO400 LDAP search

To be able to test the MVO400 (A470) LDAP directory from the command line, use the ldapsearch utility.

Basic syntax: ldapsearch host base filter

Example 1 (List all extension numbers where the name starts with "B"):
ldapsearch -xh 192.168.10.5 -b 'dc=pbxnameservice,dc=pbx.local' '(|(sn=B*)(telephonenumber=*))' -LLL

Example 2 (List entire directory - no filter):
ldapsearch -xh 192.168.10.5 -b 'dc=pbxnameservice,dc=pbx.local' -LLL

Therefore, a PHP page or similar method can be used to do a live search of the PBX's directory book. If a user name or password is needed, create a user account with LDAP Authorization profile.

DBC425 and MNS and MX-ONE

Programming of the DBC425 (and I suspect the 422) IP phones' function keys can only be done if the phone is in H.323 mode. While the phone functions well in SIP mode, and TNS keys can be programmed via the Web-interface of the phone, no other functions like MNS or PEN can be enacted.

Aastra BusinessPhone Management Suite (BMS) on Internet Explorer 11

One cannot go back to Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8.1. Internet Explorer 11 is the default web browser for Windows 8.1. However, it is possible to use Internet Explorer developer tool and use Internet Explorer 10 on Internet Explorer 11 by following these steps:

1.       Open Internet Explorer 11
2.       Press F12 on the keyboard
3.       Click Emulation button or press Ctrl + 8.
4.       Under Mode change “User agent string” to Internet Explorer 10.
5.       You can use IE11 as IE10.

BMS will still give runtime issues so just add the site 127.0.0.1/smt to the compatibility list:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11

Contributed by Burkhard Conrad

Setting compatibility:
Whilst still in emulation menu, enable top left icon "persist emulation settings".
IE settings -> Compatibilty -> Add 127.0.0.1

MX-ONE "Weak Diffie-Hellman key"

This occurs with the self-generated SSL certificate on the Mitel MX-ONE v5.0. To access with Firefox:

Workaround for Firefox 39 and above:
1) In FireFox, enter "about:config" in the URL field and press enter.
2) Accept the "This might void your warranty!" warning :)
3) In the search field at the top, enter "security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes"
4) Double click each result (128 and 256) to toggle the Value to "false"

Now retry your site - it should work now. Remember to change these settings back when you're done.

MX-ONE and DBC 4224 not coming out of Night Mode

Had a recent problem with an MX-ONE using a DBC 4224 as an operator (a dated method, but the client's choice). The system was equipped with ELU33 and MGU2. Once programmed, the phone started fine and showed "Night Service".

Pressing on/off did not change the status though! Problem?

TMU resources on the MGU are not sufficient. A TMU card (e.g. TMU/2) is needed for a DBC4224 to work on an MX-ONE.

Teamviewer via 3G and LAN access

Normally, when a Teamviewer connection is established via 3G (or similar), it uses that as the default network route. So reaching anything via the LAN port seems impossible.

However, all that needs to be added is a default route for that specific destination.

Example: Wanting to reach host 192.168.2.10.

Run ipconfig in command prompt. Find your "Local Area Connection" default gateway (e.g. 192.168.4.1).

 route add 192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.1
