Hi All, first time post and relatively new to FreePBX. I have installed an EXP40-1 expansion module on a Yealink T46G phone and can manually configure this through the web interface. I would like to get this to apply the template that is set up on the FreePBX web admin portal. So far I have set “Set Module Admin to Edge mode” to “Yes” and ensured the device is selected in extension mapping.
I have checked and it is set up as explained in the article. I have a question in relation to the base file it uses when creating the template. The entries against extension module 1 label is e12label which doesnt make alot of sense to me. Could you elude to what this is referencing to?
So looks like this might not be about freepbx’s configuration but more in line with its ability to overwrite a yealink T46G phone. Added a bunch of additional test entries to the template with success but when I went to remove them from the template this wasn’t replicated on the phone. So looks like it can write to the phone if the section is empty but not re-write or modify which is pretty useless…
I do not have access to a location with EPM and a Yealink expansion module to verify the expansion behaviour. And I don’t want to clutter up EPM on a site just to check.
I did a remote setup of a new FreePBX system with Yealink T46S phones and experienced this exact behavior on linekey2.
Phone shipped with some version of the firmware newer than EPM provides.
DHCP option 66 told the phones to look to the PBX and EPM took it from there. Phones downgraded and pulled config perfectly.
I only had Linekey 1 set as a line and linekey 2 set as BLF. The BLF was not working. I had the on site IT hold OK to default the phone. When it came back up everything was fine.
To me, this means EPM needs to look at new firmware. Or put up a warning abaout downgrading firmware.
It is not EPM’s fault, but EPM is the interface to the users.
