When I setup one user with more than one device (each device pointing to same user) for a reason the following was noted (all devices setup in PJSIP mode):
sometimes a device will not be reachable (gives busy tone if called) if the second device is not registered on the server (disconnected)
if both devices are registered then both phones will ring
PJSip has an option for simultaneous registrations called âMax Contactsâ. You donât need to run in device and user mode if you want to have more than one PJSIP device registered to the same extension, it âjust worksâ with FreePBX 12, as you would expect it to work.
You can check the registrations with âpjsip show endpointsâ on the Asterisk CLI
If youâre using PJSIP, I donât think that you need device and user mode. PJSIP supports multiple registrations to the same extension # if you modify the max_contacts field.
I havenât messed with FreePBX 12 and Asterisk 13 yet, but Iâm learning about PJSIP nowâŚ
So, if I understand this correctly, using PJSIP I will not need to be using âdeviceanduserâ and revert back to using âextensionsâ and then use the âMax Contactsâ for each extension, and this will allow me to register âxâ number of devices to each extension?
Just to clarify why I used âdeviceanduserâ, it was to bind 1 userâs extension number to more than one device, instead of having to make âRing Groupsâ or so.
It seems that the problem still exists. When I remove the account and re-create it, it works for a while and then hangs again. For some phones they can dial but when called it just hangs, and for others its the other way around.
