I'm particularly interested in secure communication between remote AT 530 and Asterisk. Scenario : AT 530 establish VPN connection with the central office VPN Server and login to office network . Then use local network ip addresses to establish connection between AT 530 and Asterisk. thanks chamara Hi fourlakes,

Having said that, it is a pretty unregulated market, and it can be difficult to find good documentation for even the most popular applications. I suspect what most people find an issue, though, is the lack of a single point of responsibility for fixing issues. If you find a bug in, say, Apache, then who do you speak to, shout at or sue for lost income ? It's a brave new world, with new rules ! Colman Jason B (popular topic for Jasons, onviously !),

I emailed the company suggesting that they have someone check the configuaration for optimal performance. A shame this has turned them off of 'open source' systems. I assume they will also not be purchasing Linksys routers or hosting websites etc on Apache servers from now on too :-) Perhaps they may not make use of a large 'open source' project called the Internet due to these worries.

What I want is that the phone doesn't count the missed calls because for incoming calls there are 3 phones that ring (A, B and C). If A or B answer the call, C registers a missed call. At the end of the day, each phone has more than 80 missed calls registered and the way to erased is very annoing (you have to erase thm one by one). If you have a way to stop the counting of the missed calls would be great. Best wishes, Martin. Thank you Fourlakes

I presume you are on the same subnet as the phone ? Which firmware are you trying to upgrade from ? No joy with the 'missing calls' message I'm afraid, still get it. Unless there's a configuration option I've missed somewhere. To be honest, it's pretty stable in other areas and I've learned to live with this particular foible by dialling *97 to check my voicemail if I've missed calls. Setting Asterisk up to email voicemails to be helps too :) Keep us posted on your progress, Colman Martin,

I've used ftp, TFPT and HTTP, however the phone shows Failed message in evry trying. Any suggestion??? Do you know if the new firmware eliminate de missing calls message from screen??
