How to install Aastra XML scripts for Elastix

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.
