I’ve been wracking my brain as to why multicast paging is not functioning for me. We need to page 60+ phones. The default paging was overloading the CPU on my machine so we opted for the commercial module for multicast paging. It installed properly and I’ve configured a test paging group.
The idea is when calling x1275 it goes to a paging group with multicast added. I have no phones selected at all. I figured there’s no need to define which phones to apply this to as the phones themselves are configured to listen for multicast broadcasts on the specified IP and Port.
I’ve performed some multicast testing on my network and switches to assure nothing was getting blocked by a switch. The software I used is by Valcom. It’s free and their testing instructions are easy to follow. I’ve successfully tested multicast between two computers using the same address and port I defined in my FreePBX paging group.
Below you’ll see a dump from Asterisk that shows the Multicast page appears to be functioning. However, nothing comes across on our GrandStream phones. The page comes from extension 1210.
There are several error lines, which I’ve highlighted in the dump below. Though, I’m unsure if they’re significant to my issue.
Also, using a PC that’s listening for the same multicast as the phones - no packets arrive there either.
I’m wondering if something about the network card driver on my FreePBX box is preventing a multicast from going out. Is that possible? I figured multicast was a universal thing.
Thanks in advance for any tips to get this working.
