Frequently asked Questions about ST2030 (SIP+ASTERISK)

If I issue asterisk -r -x ‘restart when convenient’ (with 1.2) the phones lamp stop working I need to reboot the phone to have them fixed. -A. Gallo
- This is a problem with Asterisk, and occurs with other phones (such as SNOM).
- Using V1.52.1 firmware, it is known that the BLF works again after a long delay (about 5 minutes?)
I see “500 internal server error” inside asterisk logs when one of the st2030 of the LAN is ringing. -A. Gallo
- Using latest ST2030 firmware and latest version of Asterisk, this error is not seen.
Does anyone else phone say “Wrong Number!” after they dial? The call is still completed!
- This was a problem previously and is fixed in latest firmware.
What does the TrMail button do?
- The TrMail button turns on or off the “transfer all calls to voice mail” mode.
- This is similar to a Forward or Do-Not-Disturb, except that the destination must be set in the phone.
- It can be convenient to use this feature to send calls to another number, such as a cell phone.
- When activated, the LCD blinks “TrToVoiceMail…”, and incoming calls will not ring, but are transferred to the number set in phone.
What does the PickUP Button do?
- It is supposed to allow a ringing call on another phone to be picked up by dialing that extension. It doesn’t seem to work currently with Asterisk.
Is there any way to disable the TrMail or PickUP buttons from the main idle screen menu?
- Yes, in the web interface, under Advanced / Call Feature / Phone Operation – you can uncheck options to hide these buttons
Is there a way to auto answer via headset when it’s plugged in?
- Yes, in the web interface, under Advanced / Advanced / Automatic Answer – you can select Headset and set # of seconds before answer
- NOTE: This does not detect that the headset is present or not. Once enabled, it will always answer the call.
Can I disable more user options via auto provisioning – would be great for call centre environments?
- Yes, much of the LCD interface can now be disabled via Web or APS settings
