New 500 clients version and MSS for linux

New 500 clients version and MSS for linux

According to our customers’ requirement, we add a new product, 500 clients MSS, to our list. This version can support 500 extensions.

At the same time, we remove 1000 clients product from our public list which means you can still ask this product by sending mail to us. 1000 clients version is quite different with other versions, and it requires more help and support when customers try to deploy it, so we think it is not suitable for small business or SOHO business.

In another way, since Ubuntu LTS has been upgraded to 12.04 version, we upgrade all our work and test environments together, so MSS for linux version is upgraded to fit Ubuntu 12.04. We will not support other Ubuntu versions or linux distributions.

V10 released and TTS!

V10 released and TTS!

MSS V10 is released and supports TTS (Text to speech) feature now. With previous versions, once we want to play announcements, we need use some tools to record audios to create a wav file, then load it to MSS. We think tt is easy but some customers still think it is complex. So TTS is coming.

With TTS feature, you don’t need to create wav files. You just need write your announcement in text, MSS will play it for you. Cool! right? 🙂

Let’s look through XML-IVR of previous MSS ‘auto-attend’ service. We can see we need indicate an audio ID to MSS to play audio.

 <playaudio> 
     <id>0a080001</id>
 </playaudio>

Now, we can change it to following:

 <playaudio> 
     <text>Welcome, please input extension number</text>
 </playaudio>

MSS will play audio “welcome, please input extension number” to caller parties automatically, we don’t need create WAV file and load it to MSS.

Please refer to IVR-XML document for more details.

 BTW, V9 is reserved for Cloud-MSS.

MySQL server has gone away

MySQL server has gone away

Yesterday we received a report from a Chinese customer that he has a problem with MySQL and MSS. According to his report, after running for several minutes, MSS lost connection with his MySQL database and the error is “2006, MySQL server has gone away”.

Once connect to MySQL database, MSS will try to ping MySQL every 1.5 hours. By default, the interactive timer in MySQL server is 28800 seconds (8 hours). So we guess that the default timer values have been updated in MySQL. When MSS try to ping MySQL, the connection has gone, MSS failed to connect MySQL.

So we ask customer to check MySQL values with following command in MySQL database:

show variables like '%out%';

We care the result of ‘interactive_timeout’ and  ‘wait_timeout’ values. In such customer’s environment, these values have been changed to 1200 seconds.

We are not sure these values are changed default value by MySQL itself, or changed by some operators in such environment. If you have same problem, please take a check and  change these values to be bigger than 1.5 hours. We suggest you keep the default value which is 28800 seconds.

If we update above parameters, please restart MySQL and MSS in order to use new timer value for their connections.

New LTS version and stable version

New LTS version and stable version

We are pleasure to announce that LTS version is upgraded to V6.6 and new stable version  is V8.

V6 has been deployed around world by lots of customers and has been verified to be a very good version for business deployment. It has more features and services than previous LTS version (V4) and we suggest most customers to upgrade to this new version.

V8 is the latest stable version. We will develop and deploy new features with this version. If you want more exciting services, please try this version. Of course, it is stable enough for business deployment.

We hope you can enjoy our new versions.

MSS V6.5 updated to support “speed-dialing” feature

MSS V6.5 updated to support “speed-dialing” feature

V6.5 has been upgraded to support “speed dialing” feature.

In fact, previous versions can also support “speed dialing” feature by using “dial plan” functions. To do that, customers need make configurations with several tables, it could be difficult. With the new version, we separate a independent table to configure “speed dial” and it is so easy to support it.

Please refer to our document for more details about this feature:

http://www.myvoipapp.com/docs/mss_services/speed-dial/index.html

Trigger different IVR for different incoming calls

Trigger different IVR for different incoming calls

miniSipServer is upgraded to V6.5 to support different IVR for different incoming calls.

It is very easy to configure MSS to do that, please refer to online document:

http://www.myvoipapp.com/docs/mss_services/auto_attendant/index.html#multi-ivr

For example, if we want to trigger different IVR for another external line (such as “1234”), we can configure the “IVR services” with following record:

dial plan = default
Called number = 1234  <--This is the external line name/account
IVR-XML file name = aa2.xml <--your own IVR-XML file
Run as windows service

Run as windows service

2018-04-30 updated:

With the latest V32, miniSIPServer will not support this feature. Please try to run miniSIPServer in windows auto-start methods.

The most easy-to-use IP-PBX for Ubuntu/Linux

The most easy-to-use IP-PBX for Ubuntu/Linux

If you have tried miniSipServer on Windows platform, you can find it is so easy to configure or manage a IP-PBX because miniSipServer provides a perfect GUI interface.

You can find it is very easy to do that on Ubuntu/Linux because miniSipServer can support GUI interface on Ubuntu/Linux now!  WINE is unnecessary now!

Please visit our download page to download miniSipServer .deb packages according to your requirements:

http://www.myvoipapp.com/download

After you download .deb file from our website, please click (or double-click) it to install MSS. No more actions! So easy, so funny.

After you finish your install, you will find miniSipServer at “Applications / Internet” group.

Following figure is a screenshot of MSS running on Kubuntu:

In another way, if you just want to run a command line sip server, you can also go to directory “/opt/sipserver” and find “msscli” which is a command-line miniSipServer and has the same core with GUI-miniSipServer.  You can manage and configure it through web interface.
