AC Win HiPath Attendant Console and Ds-Win with incoming calls

The problem experienced was that whilst an operator is searching the directory (DS-Win), the AC Win Attendant Console would automatically be focused on when a new call appeared.

The manual says such behaviour is not possible, but maybe mine is a bit out of date. The following will disable such functionality.

1. Start menu -> AC Win Configuration -> Section = SBCWinUI -> GetFocusOnRingingCall = 0

2. AC Win Console -> Administration -> Enter Admin password -> Call Control Window Settings: Untick the box "Restore Minimized HiPath..." box.

MiVo 400 Internal Phonebook on 6863i

The MiVoice 400 and Mitel SIP phones have the internal directory (phonebook) working out of the box.

It is a bit trickier to find the phonebook on the 6863i...:

1. Press Call List button.
2. Press 2 (or scroll to Directory Lookup and Enter)
3. Dial 1 (or scroll to Quick Dial and Enter). This is where you can do numeric to alpha dialing.
4. Or dial 2 (scroll to Name and Enter). Here you can enter the inital letters of a name and search.

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.
