miniSIPServer V19 released.

V19 is released today to provide some features and optimization:

  • new embedded HTTP server.

A new embedded HTTP server is designed and implemented in V19 to replace previous server to provide higher performace and better structure.

  • Time condition service

It is a tradtional PBX service. Please refer to the service document for more details.

  • Some system features are optimized.

V19 is recommended for all new VoIP deployment. Upgrading from all other versions of miniSIPServer is optional.

GHOST bug

GHOST bug

This is a new bug reported in Linux platform. It is caused by invoking ‘gethostbyname’ function. We check our codes and find it is very lucky that we didn’t use this function.

So it is no problem to keep your MSS running in Linux platform. Of course, it is better to upgrade your Linux system since other applications might have this bug.

Windows10

Windows10

We just tried windows 10 (tech preview) and find it is better than windows 8.1. And we are glad to find that it is no problem to run MSS on this platform.

MSS on Win10
run MSS on windows10

So if you are running Windows10， you can still deploy MSS to build your own VoIP system. Easy and funny, enjoy yourself!

 

webRTC now!

webRTC now!

webRTC is defined in HTML5 to support real-time communication. We spent several months in this technology and release the latest V18 to support it finally!

Now you can connect Chrome to miniSIPServer to work as local user. It is so interesting and hope it can help you to deploy your own VoIP network.

Please refer to following document for more details about webRTC in MSS:

Big thing – IPv6!

Big thing – IPv6!

As we know, IPv6 is next internet protocol. All SIP devices will be migrated to IPv6 since IPv4 network has more and more problems.

Today we release miniSIPServer V16. The big feature of this version is to support IPv6. You can find it is so eay to deploy a voip network over IPv6 with miniSIPServer.

Please refer to following document for more details and enjoy IPv6 now!

And V16 will be next LTS version once we think it is ready for that.

Reseller for Cloud-MSS

Reseller for Cloud-MSS

Since cloud-mss is online, there are lots of customers ask us about reseller funciton. Thanks for their suggestions. We do some research on this topic and find it could be classified to two types:

(1) Some customers are professional communication providers for enterprises. They often install several cloud-mss servers for their own customers, so it is very useful if they can manage several nodes in one account.

(2) Some cutstomers provide SIP-PBX services for their local subscribers with their own domain names, so they not only want to manage several virtual sip-pbx nodes in one account, but also want to get more discount pricing.

We add ‘reseller’ function into cloud-mss system. It is free to register cloud-mss account and users can create and manage several cloud-mss nodes. Each node can be configured independantly just like common node.

If you are interesting in this topic, please take a try and feel free to contact us if you have any question or suggestion.

Please refer to our online document for more details:

Happy new year! 64 bits miniSIPServer!

Happy new year! 64 bits miniSIPServer!

Today we upgrade miniSIPServer V14 to support 64 bits Debian and Ubuntu. That’s a great news for some of our customers.

As we know, in some networks, customers have deployed 64 bits Debian or Ubuntu servers. So when we want to install previous 32 bits miniSIPServer in their servers, it is required to install some additional 32 bits libraries. Of course, it is no problem to do that, but some customers often think it could be unstable for their servers.

So we decide to migrate MSS to 64 bits to fit this requirement. Now it is unnecessary to care about 32 bits problem.

For customers who are using 64 bits Windows, it is unnecessary to care about 32 bits problem. Windows can process them in perfect way, so please keep current versions.

Call waiting service

Call waiting service

Most SIP devices, such SIP phones, can support “call waiting” service themselves. But for some old SIP devices, such as some simple SIP ATA devices, it is required PBX to provide “call waiting” service.

So we upgrade MSS to V13.6 to provide this service. In MSS, we name it as “simple call waiting” service because MSS’ call waiting service only support

(1) put original call into waiting queue if current called party is busy.

(2) reconnect previous calls if current called party is available.

So user cannot press ‘R’ key to switch calls. It is simple and we hope it can fit most customers requirements.

Please refer to our service document for more details:

How to change TCP port?

How to change TCP port?

2013-09-23 updated: with latest V14.2, we can configure ‘TCP port’ in MSS. Please refer to following document:

http://www.myvoipapp.com/docs/mss_services/sip-over-tcp/index.html#tcpPort

——————————————————————-

By default, MSS starts 5060 TCP port to receive or send SIP over TCP messages. 5060 is default TCP port defined by SIP standard. In MSS GUI or web UI, we can only change SIP UDP port.

If we want to change its TCP port, for example, we want to change it to 1234, we need do as following:

(1) In the MSS install directory, please create a text file whose name is ‘mss_var_param.ini’ file.

(2) In this INI file, please add following content:

[sip]
gVarSipTCPPort=1234

(3) Please restart MSS to enable it.

Reports in MSS

Reports in MSS

2020-12-29 updated: Since miniSIPServer has ‘event channel‘ function to provide users’ status and details of each call, customers can use these information to build their own reports, so we cancel these functions from V38.

Most SIP or PBX devices may have some reports to help administrator to check system’s status.

MSS has some reports too. Please click menu “Reports” to show them. MSS has two reports at this time:

(1) Basic call report

(2) Local user report

Both these reports are generated per hour. If there is not any value for each item, then the report will not be generated.

“Local user report” is simple. It only calculates how many local users are online per hour.

“Basic call report” is used to calculate how many calls MSS has been processed in one hour. There are some important items, such as “attempt”, “alert”, and “answer” and so on. It includes total durations and it can help administrator to understand how many calls have been answered and the avarage duration in one hour. If there are too many calls to make MSS heavy work-load, administrator can decide to upgrade MSS.
