How to upgrade miniSipServer?

How to upgrade miniSipServer?

In different scenario, this question can be different. In fact, this question can be seperated to several questions:

Q1: What we need do when we upgrade MSS?

The most important thing is backup your previous configuration files.If there is any exception during the upgrade, we can roll-back to previous version.

All miniSipServer configuration files are stored in the ‘config’ sub-directory where MSS is installed.So it is very easy to backup the system, what we need do is just copy this sub-directory to anywhere your want.

We can uninstall previous version and install the new version in the same directory.Because the configuration files are kept in the ‘config’ directory, the new version will detect, use and upgrade previous configuration files automatically.

Q2: I am using V2.9, can I upgrade to V2.10 or above?

Yes, of course. By default, it is free to upgrade MSS from low version to higher version since they can share the same license. So just download the latest version and enjoy it.

Q3: I am using 20 clients version, can I upgrade to 50 clients and how?

Since different licenses are used, you need pay the price differentials between these version. Please visit our ‘buy now‘ page to get details.

Once you get the new license, you can uninstall previous version and install new version, then input new license to enable it. The upgrade process is almost same with above description.

===========================================

Linux system becomes more and more popular now, and more and more customers send mail to us to ask whether miniSipServer can run on linux system, specially Ubuntu system.

As we know, miniSipServer is a SIP server designed for Windows system. Since Linux is quite different with Windows, we cannot install and run miniSipServer on Linux directly at current stage. In future, we maybe release native miniSipServer for Ubuntu. (In fact, miniSipServer V4.0 or above can run on Ubuntu without WINE, please refer to following document: http://www.myvoipapp.com/blog/2011/06/01/run-minisipserver-on-ubuntu/)

But now we can run miniSipServer on Ubuntu or other linux systems with “Wine” software. Thanks to “Wine” develop teams’ great work, most windows softwares can run on linux system, including miniSipServer.

The Wine mode is “Linux sysem <–> Wine <–> Windows software”. Please refer to its official websire for more details.

After download and install “Wine” software, it is almost same for us to install and run miniSipServer which we have done on the Windows platform. What we need do is doublt-click the .exe file and install it! Very easy.

Let’s give a simple example on how to install wine and miniSipServer on Ubuntu system:

Step 1: install Wine

In the terminal window, please type the command: sudo apt-get install wine

Step 2: install miniSipServer

Download the latest miniSipServer install file to our Ubuntu system. Double-click the .exe file to install it.

Step 3: run miniSipServer

In the Wine menu, we can see miniSipServer shotcut icon. Just click the icon to run it.

Easy, right? why not try it now? 🙂

V3.1 build 20110425 released to support MWI

V3.1 build 20110425 released to support MWI

V3.1 is update to support new “voice mail” features.  Messages waiting indicator (MWI) is supported in this new version.

By default, MSS will not store voice messages and just sent them to local users email address. With the new features, MSS can do

(1) Store voice messages in the server, and indicate the SIP phones how many voice messages are stored in the server. If the SIP phones can support MWI too,  they will display the number of voice messages.

(2) Users can dial into MSS to check their voice messages.

Please refer to online service document which have been updated with a demo configuration of Xlite and MSS.
