For those who are not familiar with the scripts, here is a simplified list of what the scripts can do for you:
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Aastra XML scripts, here is a simplified list of what they provide:
- Self-provisioning, when you plug an Aastra phone on the network, the phone automatically discovers the Elastix server and prompts the user for a username and password. After that, the phone is fully configured. Zero touch.
- Server side DND and CFWD, you can now enable/disable DND and CFWD from the phone without using a star code, a LED will tell you if the feature is enabled.
- Visual Voice mail, access to your messages and configure your VM box without calling the mail box.
- Find-me follow-me configuration
- ACD agent login/logout
- ACD queues status
- Presence
- PBX Directory, speed dial
- Visual parking lets you see who is parked and allows pickup
- Meet-me conference manager
The scripts provide a significant number of end user as well as admin functions.
Installation
From the console, logged in as root:
cd /usr/src
wget http://65.205.71.13/2.2.1/install-aastra-xml-EL.x.gz
gunzip install-aastra-xml-EL.x.gz
chmod +x install-aastra-xml-EL.x
./install-aastra-xml-EL.x
Once this completes run:
setup-aastra-xml
This will create /tftpboot/aastra.cfg and then REBOOT the server.
Once the server has rebooted you must install a patch which resolves bugs in Aastra XML identified during beta testing:
cd /usr/src
wget http://65.205.71.13/2.2.1/aastra-xml-scripts-2.2.1-patch-1.run
chmod +x aastra-xml-scripts-2.2.1-patch-1.run
./aastra-xml-scripts-2.2.1-patch-1.run
The installation script will also install the latest general availability (GA) firmware.

Thank you!! I have been looking for info on this ………………… I didn’t install the patch and had problem.
When I put Aastra XML v2.3.1 scripts on a new system I could not get automated phone systems to work. I use Trixbox 2.6.2.5 and old (2) Aastra 57i and (1) Aastra 57i CT. For those that have 6757i’s I have talked to Aastra and they are basically the same phone.
After searching the web I found that ulaw is need for DFMT to work correctly, when I checked the web interface for the phone (I clicked on Global SIP then went to Codec Preference List) I saw that was G711.u (8K) implemented. I then saw that I could implement G711.u (16k) as well, so I did and it worked. Which leads me to believe that there must be a bug in G711.u (8k) in the:
Firmware Version3.2.2.56
Firmware Release Code SIP
Boot Version2.0.1.1055
I guess all’s well that ends well.
