Future of Endpoint Manager

[tm1000]

As work on Endpoint Manager continues I would like to get some input from users as to what features they would like to see in future versions of Endpoint Manager. My ideas are listed below, but I'd love to hear input from other people. Even if all you have is one idea post it here.

In my mind a few things are planed:

• 
  *Multiple Line/Registration Support
  *Better Language Support
  *Better Timezone Support
  *Get Configurations over HTTP directly
  *Better support for Aastra XML Scripts (or direct integration)

Not sure about:

• 
  *General XML scripts for other phones? eg phonebook-directory support, other features (may be getting WAY ahead of myself here)

Here is a list of features already supported:

• 
  * Finding devices on the network that haven't been added into endpoint manager and allowing administrators to add these devices
  * Ability to delete multiple phones at one time
  * Ability to re-assign phones already added devices to different brands/Models
  * Ability to reconfigure all phones of a certain product to another template
  * Ability to assign phones a global template or an individual template (Each template [individual or global] can have different advanced configuration files attached to them or different parameters in the template manager)
  * Template manager section for basic users or users who would like to use the ARI voicemail/recording module which allows phone end users to modify administrator defined settings and reboot their respective devices
  * Allow variables such as server IP, mac address, extension number and display name to be used in the template manager section for administrators and phone end users
  * Brand/Products/Phones module support. The user can check for updates and download firmware for supported products/brands within the Brand Configurations/Setup screen
  * Users can enable or disable phones from within the brand Configurations/Setup window to hide phones which they are not using
  * Button to rebuild configuration files and reboot all phones that have been added to endpoint manager
  * Button to reboot individual Brands
  * Support for editing configuration files of phones in browser and allowing the administrator to assign these configuration files to individual phones or select templates
  * Advanced location support for the executables needed in Endpointmanager (Path definitions for ARP, NMAP and Asterisk)
  * View all searchable OUIs
  * OUIs are removed,Installed and updated when modules are removed, installed and updated
  * Removed need for JAVA JDK and grandstream complier requirements.
  * Each phone module can complete custom functions within the advanced settings page
  * Export/Import MAC list table

PAP2T Support?

Thanks for the great work.

Is their any possibility of supporting ATAs, like the Cisco PAP2T?

Yup. I need to take the PAP2 from my work and replace it with a Grandstream HandyTone so that I can start working on getting the PAP2 to work.

I think muliline would be first on my list. I have customers with multiline phones which would be a lot easier to manage if end point manager handled it.

Mutiline is also at the top of my list.
Thanks!

Management of Cisco phones under SCCP? The new v3 SCCP configs should be a lot easier to generate automatically than the old ones.
