I have been running an old Trixbox system for years now with no problems, and am looking to upgrade to get new features and to support some SCCP phones.
I have a mix of some 7960 phones with a SIP load and some 7912G phones with SCCP, so the system needs to support both.
I just installed a new system with the latest FreePBX-5.211.65-3-x86_64-Full-1388073872.iso, and am looking for a way to add SCCP support. There are a few old references, but nothing current.
The FreePBX module for chan_sccp is very old and doesn’t work well (if at all).
You have to manually configure the SCCP extensions. Put them in the from-internal context and they will work fine with FreePBX.
To install chan_sccp2 (a very active project) you will need to install the dev tools and all the dependencies. Download Asterisk source and recompile with the sccp2 support.
The project page for sccp2 is over at sourceforge. The mailing list is very active. I suggest you read a few months of the archives to get a flavor.
Thanks for the reply, it seems like chan_sccp2 is the same as chan_sccp-b, and this is the path I have been testing. I tried reading through the mailing list, but could not find any current version install information, though I certainly might have missed it. Looking for a complete working recipe with current builds - since I haven’t been able to find one I will start one here.
My goal is to add SCCP GUI support with the available FreePBX module. Here are the exact steps I have taken so far in case anyone else wants to try, they should be pretty reproducible.
Started with a clean 64-bit install of the latest ISO, selected Asterisk 11
FreePBX-5.211.65-3-x86_64-Full-1388073872.iso
Only one dependency required
yum install asterisk11-devel.x86_64
Install failed as others have reported with:
FATAL ERROR
Can not modify sccpline table
It seems that the chan_sccp-b make install did not add the new tables. To get the module to install and enable I had to manually apply the correct SQL file from the chan_sccp-b package:
mysql> source /root/Chan_SCCP-V4.1_STABLE/conf/mysql-v5.sql
Restarted the system, initially thought it was not working because the documentation says the SCCP options should be in the “Applications” menu, finally noticed them in the “Other” menu.
Followed the remainder of the sccp_manager readme.txt
*Go to Applications -> Extensions and set up a new Custom Extension (e.g.):
User Extension: 7777
Display Name: IT Service
Dial: 7777/SCCP
Submit Changes and Apply Config.
Go to Applications -> SCCP Phones.
Add the phone with its MAC address, type and the freepbx extension.
This is great stuff, nice to see someone that “gets” it. I had been told that module is not viable anymore (the FreePBX one). The folks I know that are using maintain DB from command line.
Anyway, you have tempted me to try. Also did not know that sccp-b now works with Asterisk 11.
Let us know is the shared line appearance and conferencing work (two of features I never could get to work).
I am also going to make a wiki page and give you access to update it tomorrow.
How did you manually add the files to mysql. I have been working on a home project to make a Cisco 7931g work on Asterisk and wanted to try the SCCP method as described above which is fantastic but I have hit a stopping point. You say :It seems that the chan_sccp-b make install did not add the new tables. To get the module to install and enable I had to manually apply the correct SQL file from the chan_sccp-b package:
mysql> source /root/Chan_SCCP-V4.1_STABLE/conf/mysql-v5.sql
How exactly was this done I would appreciate any help you can give me on this subject Thanks in advance
