Using the Web UI

Accessing the Web UI

The UCM’s web server responds to HTTP/HTTPS GET/POST requests. Embedded HTML pages allow users to configure the device through a web browser such Microsoft IE (version 8+), Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc. To access the UCM’s web portal, follow the steps below:

Figure 7: UCM6202 Web GUI Login Page

  1. Make sure your computer is on the same network as the UCM.
  2. Make sure that the UCM’s IP address is displayed on its LCD.
  3. Enter the UCM’s IP address into a web browsers’ address bar. The login page should appear (please see the above image).
  4. Enter default administrator username “admin” and password.

Units manufactured starting January 2017 have a unique random password printed on the sticker located on the back of the unit. It is highly recommended to change the default password after logging in for the first time. Older units have default password “admin”. t

By default, the UCM6200 has Redirect From Port 80 enabled. As such, if users type in the UCM6200 IP address in the web browser, the web page will be automatically redirected to the page using HTTPS and port 8089. For example, if the LCD shows 192.168.40.167, and 192.168.40.167 is entered into the web browser, the web page will be redirected to: https://192.168.40.167:8089

The option Redirect From Port 80 can be found in the System Settings🡪HTTP Server page.

Setup Wizard

After logging into the UCM web portal for the first time, the setup wizard will guide the user through basic configurations such as time zone, network settings, trunks, and routing rules.

Figure 8: UCM6200 Setup Wizard

The setup wizard can be closed and reopened at any time. At the end of the wizard, a summary of the pending configuration changes can be reviewed before applying them.

Main Settings

There are 8 main sections in the web portal to manage various features of the UCM.

  • System Status: Displays the dashboard, system information, current active calls, and network status.

  1. Log into the UCM web portal and navigate to Extension/Trunk->Extensions
  2. Click on the “Add” button to start creating a new extension. The Extension and SIP/IAX Password information will be used to register to this extension. To set up voicemail, the Voicemail Password will be required.
  3. To register an endpoint to this extension, go into your endpoint’s web UI and edit the desired account. Enter the newly created extension’s number, SIP user ID, and password into their corresponding fields on the endpoint. Enter the UCM’s IP address into the SIP server field. If setting up voicemail, enter *97 into the Voice Mail Access Number field. This field may be named differently on other devices.
  4. To access the extension’s voicemail, use the newly registered extension to dial *97 and access the personal voicemail system. Once prompted, enter the voicemail password. If successful, you will now be prompted with various voicemail options.
  5. You have now set up an extension on an endpoint.

System Settings

This section will explain the available system-wide parameters and configuration options on the UCM62xx. This includes settings for the following items: HTTP server, network, OpenVPN, DDNS, LDAP server and email server.

HTTP Server

The UCM6200’s embedded web server responds to HTTP/HTTPS GET/POST requests and allows users to configure the UCM via web browsers such as Microsoft IE, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. By default, users can access the UCM by just typing its IP address into a browser address bar. The browser will automatically be redirected to HTTPS using port 8089. For example, typing in “192.168.40.50” into the address bar will redirect the browser to “https://192.168.40.50:8089”. This behavior can be changed in the System Settings->HTTP Server page.

Table 6: HTTP Server Settings

The following table shows the configuration parameters for 802.1X on UCM6200. Identity and MD5 password are required for authentication, which should be provided by the network administrator obtained from the RADIUS server. If “EAP-TLS” or “EAP-PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2” is used as the 802.1X mode, users will also need to upload 802.1X CA Certificate and 802.1X Client Certificate, which should be also generated from the RADIUS server.

Table 8: UCM6200 Network Settings🡪802.1X

802.1X Mode

Select 802.1X mode. The default setting is “Disable”. The supported 802.1X modes are:

  • EAP-MD5
  • EAP-TLS

Static Routes

The UCM6200 provides users static routing capability that allows the device to use manually configured routes, instead of dynamically assigned routes or the default gateway. Static routes can be used to define a route when no others are available or can serve as complementary routes alongside existing routes as failover routes, with existing routing on the UCM6200 as a failover backup, etc.

  • Click on to create a new IPv4 static route or click on to create a new IPv6 static route. The configuration parameters are listed in the table below.
  • Once added, users can select to edit the static route.
  • Select to delete the static route.

Table 9: UCM6200 Network Settings🡪Static Routes

Destination

Configure the destination IPv4 address or the destination IPv6 subnet for the UCM6200 to reach using the static route.

Example:

IPv4 address – 192.168.66.4

IPv6 subnet – 2001:740:D::1/64

Netmask

Configure the subnet mask for the above destination address. If left blank, the default value is 255.255.255.255.

Example:

255.255.255.0

Gateway

Configure the IPv4 or IPv6 gateway address so that the UCM6200 can reach the destination via this gateway. Gateway address is optional.

Example:

192.168.40.5 or 2001:740:D::1

Interface

Specify the network interface on the UCM6200 to reach the destination using the static route.

LAN interface is eth0; WAN interface is eth1.

Static routes configuration can be reset from LCD menu🡪Network Menu.

The following diagram shows a sample application of static route usage on UCM6204.

Untitled
Figure 19: UCM6204 Static Route Sample

The network topology of the above diagram is as below:

  • Network 192.168.69.0 has IP phones registered to UCM6204 LAN 1 address
  • Network 192.168.40.0 has IP phones registered to UCM6204 LAN 2 address
  • Network 192.168.66.0 has IP phones registered to UCM6204 via VPN
  • Network 192.168.40.0 has VPN connection established with network 192.168.66.0

In this network, by default the IP phones in network 192.168.69.0 are unable to call IP phones in network 192.168.66.0 when registered on different interfaces on the UCM6204. Therefore, we need configure a static route on the UCM6204 so that the phones in isolated networks can make calls between each other.

Figure 20: UCM6204 Static Route Configuration

Port Forwarding

The UCM network interface supports router functionality that allows users to configure port forwarding. If the UCM is set to “Route” in System Settings->Network Settings->Basic Settings->Method, the Port Forwarding tab will be available.

WAN Port

Specify the WAN port number or a range of WAN ports. Unlimited number of ports can be configured.

Note:

When set to a range, both the WAN port and LAN port must be configured with the same range (e.g., WAN port: 1000-1005, LAN port: 1000-1005). Access from the WAN port will be forwarded to the LAN port with the same port number.

LAN IP

Specify the LAN IP address.

LAN Port

Specify the LAN port number or a range of LAN ports.

Please see the note for WAN Port.

Protocol Type

Select protocol type “UDP Only”, “TCP Only” or “TCP/UDP” for the forwarding in the selected port. The default setting is “UDP Only”.

Table 10: UCM6200 Network Settings🡪Port Forwarding

Here is an example of an environment and how to configure port forwarding to an endpoint’s web portal.

  • Configure the UCM as a router by selecting “Route” in System Settings->Network Settings->Basic Settings->Method.
  • WAN port is connected to an uplink switch with a public IP address configured (e.g., 1.1.1.1).
  • LAN port provides a DHCP pool for devices on the LAN network (gateway address is 192.168.2.1 by default).
  • Connect a GXP2160 to the UCM’s LAN network. It should obtain an IP address from UCM’s DHCP pool.
  • While still on the Network Settings page, navigate to the Port Forwarding tab.
  • Click on button to start setting up port forwarding.

For general firewall defense mechanisms, UCM supports Ping Defense, SYN-Flood Defense, and Ping-of-Death Defense. These can be configured separately for the WAN interface and LAN interface.

Table 13: Typical Firewall Settings

Ping Defense Enable

If enabled, the UCM will not send ICMP messages in response to ping requests.

SYN-Flood Defense Enable

If enabled, the UCM will limit the amount of SYN packets accepted from one source to 10 packets per second, preventing the UCM web portal from becoming inaccessible. Excess packets will be discarded.

There is no need to mention the WAN and LAN parts since it is already mentioned in sentence before the table.

Ping-of-Death Defense Enable

If enabled, the UCM will not be affected by ping of death attacks.

In the Custom Firewall Settings section, users can create rules to accept, reject, or drop specific traffic going through the UCM. To create a new rule, click on the https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4vbaLaV0BV8/X3tcT1l2yhI/AAAAAAAACk4/gNmOjjA-BZoNv834SrX2zak1asC3M9ZDgCK8BGAsYHg/s0/11.PNG button.

  • Click on to edit the rule.
  • Click on to delete the rule.

Dynamic Defense

On the Dynamic Defense page, users can configure the UCM to monitor incoming TCP connections and prevent excessive traffic from hosts. The UCM must have “Route” configured in the System Settings->Network Settings->Basic Settings page. The blacklist on this page is automatically updated.

The following options are available:

Table 15: UCM6200 Firewall Dynamic Defense

Dynamic Defense Enable

Toggle dynamic defense on and off. This is disabled by default.

Blacklist Update Interval

Configure the blacklist update time interval (in seconds). The default setting is 120.

For example, if set to “300”, blocked IP addresses will not be able to establish TCP connections with the UCM until after 300 seconds have passed.

Connection Threshold

Configure the connection threshold. Once a host exceeds this threshold, it will be added to the blacklist. Default setting is 100.

Dynamic Defense Whitelist

Allowed IPs and ports range, multiple IP addresses and port range.

For example:

192.168.5.100-

192.168.5.200 1500:2000

The following figure shows a configuration example like this:

  • If a host at IP address 192.168.5.7 initiates more than 20 TCP connections to the UCM6200 within 1 minute, it will be added into UCM6200 blacklist.
  • This host 192.168.5.7 will be blocked by the UCM6200 for 500 seconds.
  • Since IP range 192.168.5.100-192.168.5.200 is in whitelist, if a host initiates more than 20 TCP connections to the UCM6200 within 1 minute, it will not be added into UCM6200 blacklist. It can still establish TCP connection with the UCM6200.
Figure 29: Configure Dynamic Defense

Fail2ban

Fail2Ban feature on the UCM6200 provides intrusion detection and prevention for authentication errors in SIP REGISTER, INVITE and SUBSCRIBE and prevents SIP brute force attacks on the PBX system.

Once an IP address exceeds the allowed number of login or SIP authentication attempts within the configured “Max Retry Duration” period, all SIP and HTTP requests from that IP address will be dropped, forbidding web access and blocking further authentication attempts.

Figure 30: Fail2ban Settings

Global Settings

Enable Fail2Ban

Enable Fail2Ban. The default setting is disabled. Please make sure both “Enable Fail2Ban” and “Asterisk Service” are turned on to use Fail2Ban for SIP authentication on the UCM6200.

Banned Duration

Configure the duration (in seconds) for the detected host to be banned. The default setting is 600. If set to 0, the host will be always banned.

LDAP Server

The UCM6200 has an embedded LDAP/LDAPS server for users to manage corporate phonebooks in a centralized manner.

  • The LDAP server automatically generates an initial phonebook with PBX DN “ou=pbx,dc=pbx,dc=com” based on the UCM6200’s existing extensions.
  • Users could add new phonebook with a different Phonebook DN for other external contacts. For example, “ou=people,dc=pbx,dc=com”.
  • All the phonebooks in the UCM6200 LDAP server have the same Base DN “dc=pbx,dc=com”.
Term Explanation:

cn= Common Name

ou= Organization Unit

dc= Domain Component

These are all parts of the LDAP data Interchange Format, according to RFC 2849, which is how the LDAP tree is filtered.

If users have the Grandstream phone provisioned by the UCM6200, the LDAP directory will be set up on the phone and can be used right away for users to access all phonebooks.

Additionally, users could manually configure the LDAP client settings to manipulate the built-in LDAP server on the UCM6200. If the UCM6200 has multiple LDAP phonebooks created, in the LDAP client configuration, users could use “dc=pbx,dc=com” as Base DN to have access to all phonebooks on the UCM6200 LDAP server, or use a specific phonebook DN, for example “ou=people,dc=pbx,dc=com”, to access to phonebook with Phonebook DN “ou=people,dc=pbx,dc=com ” only.

UCM can also act as a LDAP client to download phonebook entries from another LDAP server.

To access LDAP server and client settings, go to Web GUI🡪Settings🡪LDAP Server.

LDAP Server Configurations

The following figure shows the default LDAP server configurations on the UCM6200.

Figure 33: LDAP Server Configurations

The UCM6200 LDAP server supports anonymous access (read-only) by default. Therefore, the LDAP client does not have to configure username and password to access the phonebook directory. The “Root DN” and “Root Password” (limited with 64 and 32 characters respectively) here are for LDAP management and configuration where users will need provide for authentication purpose before modifying the LDAP information.

The default phonebook list in this LDAP server can be viewed and edited by clicking on for the first phonebook under LDAP Phonebook.

Figure 34: Default LDAP Phonebook DN

Figure 35: Default LDAP Phonebook Attributes

LDAP Phonebook

Users could use the default phonebook, edit the default phonebook, add new phonebook, import phonebook on the LDAP server as well as export phonebook from the LDAP server. The first phonebook with default phonebook dn “ou=pbx,dc=pbx,dc=com” displayed on the LDAP server page is for extensions in this PBX. Users cannot add or delete contacts directly. The contacts information will need to be modified via Web GUI🡪Extension/Trunk🡪Extensions first. The default LDAP phonebook will then be updated automatically.

Figure 36: LDAP Server🡪LDAP Phonebook

  • Add new phonebook

A new sibling phonebook of the default PBX phonebook can be added by clicking on “Add” under “LDAP Phonebook” section.

Figure 37: Add LDAP Phonebook

Configure the “Phonebook Prefix” first. The “Phonebook DN” will be automatically filled in. For example, if configuring “Phonebook Prefix” as “people”, the “Phonebook DN” will be filled with “ou=people,dc=pbx,dc=com”.

Once added, users can select to edit the phonebook attributes and contact list (see figure below) or select to delete the phonebook.

Figure 38: Edit LDAP Phonebook

  • Import phonebook from your computer to LDAP server

Click on “Import Phonebook” and a dialog will prompt as shown in the figure below.

Figure 39: Import Phonebook

The file to be imported must be a CSV, VCF or XML file with UTF-8 encoding. Users can open the file with Notepad and save it with UTF-8 encoding.

Here is an example of CSV file. Please note “Account Number” and “Phonebook DN” fields are required. Users can export a phonebook file from the UCM’s LDAP phonebook section and use it as a template.

Figure 40: Phonebook CSV File Format

The Phonebook DN field is the same “Phonebook Prefix” entry as when the user clicks on “Add” to create a new phonebook. Therefore, if the user enters “phonebook” in “Phonebook DN” field in the CSV file, the actual phonebook DN “ou=phonebook,dc=pbx,dc=com” will be automatically created by the UCM6200 once the CSV file is imported.

In the CSV file, users can specify different phonebook DN fields for different contacts. If the phonebook DN already exists on the UCM6200 LDAP Phonebook, the contacts in the CSV file will be added into the existing phonebook. If the phonebook DN does not exist on the UCM6200 LDAP Phonebook, a new phonebook with this phonebook DN will be created.

The sample phonebook CSV file in above picture will result in the following LDAP phonebook in the UCM6200.

Figure 41: LDAP Phonebook After Import

As the default LDAP phonebook with DN “ou=pbx,dc=pbx,dc=com” cannot be edited or deleted in LDAP phonebook section, users cannot import contacts that have “pbx” in the Phonebook DN field of the CSV file.

  • Export phonebook to your computer from UCM6200 LDAP server

Select the checkbox for the LDAP phonebook and then click on “Export Selected Phonebook” to export the selected phonebook. The exported phonebook can be used as a record or a sample CSV, VFC or XML file for the users to add more contacts in it and import to the UCM6200 again.

Figure 42: Export Selected LDAP Phonebook

LDAP Client Configurations

The configuration on LDAP client is useful when you use other LDAP servers. Here we provide an example on how to configure the LDAP client on the UCM.

Assuming the remote server base dn is dc=pbx,dc=com”, configure the LDAP client as follows:

  • LDAP Server: Enter a name for the remote LDAP server
  • Server Address: Enter the IP address or domain name for remote LDAP server.
  • Base DN: dc=pbx,dc=com
  • Username: Enter username if authentication is required. This field cannot exceed 64 characters and can contain space.
  • Password: Enter password if authentication is required.
  • Filter: Enter the filter. Ex: (|(CallerIDName=%)(AccountNumber=%))
  • Port: Enter the port number. Ex:389

The current system time can be found under System Status->Dashboard and System Information.

To configure the UCM to automatically update time, navigate to System Settings->Time Settings->Automatic Date and Time.

Note:

The configurations under Web GUI🡪Settings🡪Time Settings🡪Automatic Date and Time page require reboot to take effect. Please consider configuring auto time updating related changes when setting up the UCM6200 for the first time to avoid service interrupt after installation and deployment in production.

Table 17: Time Auto Updating

Remote NTP Server

Specify the server address of the NTP server for the UCM6510 to sync date and time with. The default NTP server is pool.ntp.org.

Enable DHCP Option 2

If set to “Yes”, the UCM’s time zone can be provisioned via DHCP Option 2 from a local server automatically.

Enable DHCP Option 42

If set to “Yes”, the UCM’s NTP server can be provisioned via DHCP Option 42 from a local server automatically. This will override the manually configured NTP server. The default setting is “Yes”.

Time Zone

Select the time zone for the UCM to use.

If “Self-Defined Tome Zone” is selected, please specify the time zone parameters in “Self-Defined Time Zone” field as described in below option.

Self-Defined Time Zone

If “Self-Defined Time Zone” is selected in “Time Zone” option, users will need define their own time zone following the format below.

The syntax is: std offset dst [offset], start [/time], end [/time]

Default is set to: MTZ+6MDT+5,M4.1.0,M11.1.0

MTZ+6MDT+5

This indicates a time zone with 6 hours offset and 1 hour ahead for DST, which is U.S central time. If it is positive (+), the local time zone is west of the Prime Meridian (A.K.A: International or Greenwich Meridian); If it is negative (-), the local time zone is east.

M4.1.0,M11.1.0

The 1st number indicates Month: 1,2,3.., 12 (for Jan, Feb, .., Dec).

The 2nd number indicates the nth iteration of the weekday: (1st Sunday,

3rd Tuesday…). Normally 1, 2, 3, 4 are used. If 5 is used, it means the last iteration of the weekday.

The 3rd number indicates weekday: 0,1,2,..,6 ( for Sun, Mon, Tues, … ,Sat).

Therefore, this example is the DST which starts from the First Sunday of

April to the 1st Sunday of November.

Set Time Manually

To manually set the time on the UCM6200, go to Web GUI🡪System Settings🡪Time Settings🡪Set Date and Time. The format is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.

Provisioning

Overview

Grandstream SIP Devices can be configured via Web interface as well as via configuration file through TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS download. All Grandstream SIP devices support a proprietary binary format configuration file and XML format configuration file. The UCM6200 provides a Plug and Play mechanism to auto-provision the Grandstream SIP devices in a zero-configuration manner by generating XML config file and having the phone to download it within LAN area. This allows users to finish the installation with ease and properly manage SIP devices.

To provision a phone, three steps are involved, i.e., discovery, configuration and provisioning. This section explains how Zero Config works on the UCM6200. The settings for this feature can be accessed via Web GUI🡪Value-added Features🡪Zero Config.

Configuration Architecture for End Point Device

Started from firmware version 1.0.7.10, the end point device configuration in zero config is divided into the following three layers with priority from the lowest to the highest:

  • Global

This is the lowest layer. Users can configure the most basic options that could apply to all Grandstream SIP devices during provisioning via Zero config.

  • Model

In this layer, users can define model-specific options for the configuration template.

  • Device

This is the highest layer. Users can configure device-specific options for the configuration for individual device here.

Each layer also has its own structure in different levels. Please see figure below. The details for each layer are explained in sections [Global configuration], [Model configuration] and [Device Configuration].

Figure 58: Zero Config Configuration Architecture for End Point Device

The configuration options in model layer and device layer have all the option in global layers already, i.e., the options in global layer is a subset of the options in model layer and device layer. If an option is set in all three layers with different values, the highest layer value will override the value in lower layer. For example, if the user selects English for Language setting in Global Policy and Spanish for Language setting in Default Model Template, the language setting on the device to be provisioned will use Spanish as model layer has higher priority than global layer. To sum up, configurations in higher layer will always override the configurations for the same options/fields in the lower layer when presented at the same time.

After understanding the zero-config configuration architecture, users could configure the available options for end point devices to be provisioned by the UCM6200 by going through the three layers. This configuration architecture allows users to set up and manage the Grandstream end point devices in the same LAN area in a centralized way.

Auto Provisioning Settings

By default, the Zero Config feature is enabled on the UCM6200 for auto provisioning. Three methods of auto provisioning are used.

Zero config
Figure 59: UCM6200 Zero Config

  • SIP SUBSCRIBE

When the phone boots up, it sends out SUBSCRIBE to a multicast IP address in the LAN. The UCM6200 discovers it and then sends a NOTIFY with the XML config file URL in the message body. The phone will then use the path to download the config file generated in the UCM6200 and take the new configuration.

  • DHCP OPTION 66

Route mode need to be set to use this feature. When the phone restarts (by default DHCP Option 66 is turned on), it will send out a DHCP DISCOVER request. The UCM6200 receives it and returns DHCP OFFER with the config server path URL in Option 66, for example, https://192.168.2.1:8089/zccgi/. The phone will then use the path to download the config file generated in the UCM6200.

  • mDNS

When the phone boots up, it sends out mDNS query to get the TFTP server address. The UCM6200 will respond with its own address. The phone will then send TFTP request to download the XML config file from the UCM6200.

To start the auto provisioning process, under Web GUI🡪Value-added Features🡪Zero Config🡪Zero Config Settings, fill in the auto provision information.

Figure 60: Auto Provision Settings

Table 22: Auto Provision Settings

Enable Zero Config

Enable or disable the zero-config feature on the PBX. The default setting is enabled.

Enable Automatic Configuration Assignment

By default, this is disabled. If disabled, when SIP device boots up, the UCM6200 will not send the SIP device the URL to download the config file and therefore the SIP device will not be automatically provisioned by the UCM6200.

Note:

When disabled, SIP devices can still be provisioned by manually sending NOTIFY from the UCM6200 which will include the XML config file URL for the SIP device to download.

Automatically Assign Extension

If enabled, when the device is discovered, the PBX will automatically assign an extension within the range defined in “Zero Config Extension Segment” to the device. The default setting is disabled.

Zero Config Extension Segment

Click on the link “Zero Config Extension Segment” to specify the extension range to be assigned if “Automatically Assign Extension” is enabled. The default range is 5000-6299. Zero Config Extension Segment range can be defined in Web GUI🡪PBX Settings🡪General Settings🡪General page🡪Extension Preference section: “Auto Provision Extensions”.

Enable Pick Extension

If enabled, the extension list will be sent out to the device after receiving the device’s request. This feature is for the GXP series phones that support selecting extension to be provisioned via phone’s LCD. The default setting is disabled.

Pick Extension Segment

Click on the link “Pick Extension Segment” to specify the extension list to be sent to the device. The default range is 4000 to 4999. Pick Extension Segment range can be defined in Web GUI🡪PBX Settings🡪General Settings🡪General page🡪Extension Preference section: “Pick Extensions”.

Pick Extension Period (hour)

Specify the number of minutes to allow the phones being provisioned to pick extensions.

Subnet Whitelist

This feature allows the UCM to provision devices in different subnets other than UCM network.

Enter subnets IP addresses to allow devices within these subnets to be provisioned. The syntax is <IP>/<CIDR>.

Examples:

10.0.0.1/8

192.168.6.0/24

Note: Only private IP ranges (10.0.0.0 | 172.16.0.0 | 192.168.0.0) are supported.

Please make sure an extension is manually assigned to the phone or “Automatically Assign Extension” is enabled during provisioning. After the configuration on the UCM6200 Web GUI, click on “Save” and “Apply Changes”. Once the phone boots up and picks up the config file from the UCM6200, it will immediately apply the configuration.

Discovery

Grandstream endpoints are automatically discovered after bootup. Users could also manually discover device by specifying the IP address or scanning the entire LAN network. Three methods are supported to scan the devices.

  • PING
  • ARP
  • SIP Message (NOTIFY)

Click on “Auto Discover” under Web GUI🡪Value-added Features🡪Zero Config🡪Zero Config, fill in the “Scan Method” and “Scan IP”. The IP address segment will be automatically filled in based on the network mask detected on the UCM6200. If users need scan the entire network segment, enter 255 (for example, 192.168.40.255) instead of a specific IP address. Then click on “Save” to start discovering the devices within the same network. To successfully discover the devices, “Zero Config” needs to be enabled on the UCM6200 Web GUI🡪Value-added Features🡪Zero Config🡪Auto Provisioning Settings.

Figure 61: Auto Discover

The following figure shows a list of discovered phones. The MAC address, IP Address, Extension (if assigned), Version, Vendor, Model, Connection Status, Create Config, Options (Edit /Delete /Update /Reboot /Access Device WebGUI) are displayed in the list.


Auto Discover can also search for devices located on other subnets, in condition for the subnet to be added under Zero Config Settings> Subnet Whitelist. The method allowed to auto discover other subnets then the UCM’s is SIP-Message like shown below.

Figure 62: Auto Discover other subnets

Figure 63: Discovered Devices

Uploading Devices List

Besides the built-in discovery method on the UCM, users could prepare a list of devices on .CSV file and upload it by clicking on the button , after which a success message prompt should be displayed.

Users need to make sure that the CSV file respects the format as shown on the following figure and that the entered information is correct (valid IP address, valid MAC address, device model and an existing account), otherwise the UCM will reject the file and the operation will fail:

The voicemail recording will be kept even if it has been sent through email. Only applies if extension-level or global Send Voicemail to Email is enabled.

Call Waiting

Allows calls to the extension even when it is already in a call. This only works if the caller is directly dialing the extension. If disabled, the CC service will not work.

SIP Settings 

NAT

Enable this setting if the UCM is using public IP and communicating with devices behind NAT.

Note 1: This setting will overwrite the Contact header of received messages, which may affect the ability to establish calls when behind NAT. Consider changing setttings in PBX Settings->SIP Settings->NAT instead.

Note 2: If one is experiencing one-way audio issues, please check the NAT configuration and SIP/RTP ports in the firewall.

Enable Direct Media

By default, the PBX will route the media streams from SIP endpoints through itself. If this option is enabled, the PBX will attempt to redirect the RTP media streams to bypass the PBX and to go directly between caller and callee. Note: It is not always possible for the PBX to negotiate endpoint-to-endpoint media routing.

DTMF Mode

Configures the mode for sending DTMF.

  • RFC4733 (default): DTMF is transmitted as audio in the RTP stream but is encoded separately from the audio stream. Backwards-compatible with RFC2833.

  • Inband: DTMF is transmitted as audio and is included in the audio stream. Requires alaw/ulaw codecs.

  • Info: DTMF is transmitted through a separate network connection from media streams

  • Auto: DTMF mode will be negotiated with the remote peer. RFC4733 will be used by default unless the remote peer does not indicate support.

TEL URI

If "Enabled" option is selected, TEL URI and Remove OBP from Route cannot be enabled at the same time. If the phone has an assigned PSTN telephone number, this field should be set to "User=Phone". A "User=Phone" parameter will then be attached to the Request-Line and "TO" header in the SIP request to indicate the E.164 number. If set to "Enable", "Tel:" will be used instead of "SIP:" in the SIP request.

Concurrent Registrations

The maximum endpoints which can be registered to this extension.

CC Settings

Enable CC

Check this box to allow the system to automatically alert this extension when a called party is available, given that a previous call to that party failed for some reason.

Monitor Privilege Control

Fax Mode

Check this box to allow the system to automatically alert this extension when a called party is available, given that a previous call to that party failed for some reason.

  • None: Disable Fax.

  • Fax Detect: During a call, the Fax signal from the user/trunk can be detected, and the received Fax will be sent to the Email address configured for the user. If no user Email can be found, the Fax will be sent to the default Email address configured in Fax page.

ACL Policy

Access Control List manages the IP addresses that can register to this extension.

  • Allow All: Any IP address can register to this extension.

  • Local Network: Only IP addresses in the configured network segments can register to this extension.

Skip Trunk Auth

If set to "Yes", users do not need to enter a password when making outbound calls. If set to "Bytime", users do not need to enter a password when making outbound calls that matches the time condition.

Codec Preference

Configure the codecs to be used.

Batch Extension Resetting Functionality

To reset multiple extensions to default settings, select the extensions on the main Extensions/Trunks->Extensions page and click on the Reset button. Once reset, all settings except for Concurrent Registrations will be reverted to default. User voicemail password will be randomized again, and user voicemail prompts and recordings will be deleted. The settings for the extension user in the User Management page will also be reverted to default except for usernames and custom privileges.

Search and Edit Extension

All the UCM6200 extensions are listed under Web GUI🡪Extension/Trunk🡪Extensions, with status, Extension, CallerID Name, Technology (SIP, IAX and FXS), IP and Port. Each extension has a checkbox for users to “Edit Selected Extensions” or “Delete Selected Extensions”. Also, options “Edit” , “Reboot” , “Delete” and reset are available per extension. User can search an extension by specifying the extension number to find an extension quickly.

Figure 84: Manage Extensions

Table 49: Analog Trunk Configuration Parameters

Channels

Select the channel for the analog trunk.

  • UCM6202: 2 channels
  • UCM6204: 4 channels
  • UCM6208: 8 channels

Trunk Name

Specify a unique label to identify the trunk when listed in outbound rules, incoming rules and etc.

Advanced Options

SLA Mode

Enable this option to satisfy two primary use cases, which include emulating a simple key system and creating shared extensions on a PBX. Enable SLA Mode will disable polarity reversal.

Barge Allowed

The barge option specifies whether other stations can join a call in progress on this trunk. If enabled, the other stations can press the line button to join the call.

The default setting is Yes.

Hold Access

The hold option specifies hold permissions for this trunk. If set to “Open”, any station can place this trunk on hold and any other station is allowed to retrieve the call. If set to “Private”, only the station that places the call on hold can retrieve the call.

The default setting is Yes.

Enable Polarity Reversal

If enabled, a polarity reversal will be marked as received when an outgoing call is answered by the remote party. For some countries, a polarity reversal is used for signaling the disconnection of a phone line and the call will be considered as “Hangup” on a polarity reversal. The default setting is “No”.

Polarity on Answer Delay

When FXO port answers the call, FXS may send a Polarity Reversal. If this interval is shorter than the value of “Polarity on Answer Delay”, the Polarity Reversal will be ignored. Otherwise, the FXO will Onhook to disconnect the call. The default setting is 600ms.

Current Disconnect Threshold (ms)

This is the periodic time (in ms) that the UCM6200 will use to check on a voltage drop in the line. The default setting is 200. The valid range is 50 to 3000.

Ring Timeout

Configure the ring timeout (in ms). Trunk (FXO) devices must have a timeout to determine if there was a Hangup before the line is answered. This value can be used to configure how long it takes before the UCM6200 considers a non-ringing line with Hangup activity. The default setting is 8000.

RX Gain

Configure the RX gain for the receiving channel of analog FXO port. The valid range is from -12.0 (dB) to + 12.0 (dB). The default setting is 0.

TX Gain

Configure the TX gain for the transmitting channel of analog FXO port. The valid range is from -12.0 (dB) to + 12.0 (dB). The default setting is 0.

Use CallerID

Configure to enable CallerID detection. The default setting is “Yes”.

Caller ID Scheme

Select the Caller ID scheme for this trunk.

  • Bellcore/Telcordia.
  • ETSI-FSK During Ringing
  • ETSI-FSK Prior to Ringing with DTAS
  • ETSI-FSK Prior to Ringing with LR
  • ETSI-FSK Prior to Ringing with RP
  • ETSI-DTMF During Ringing
  • ETSI-DTMF Prior to Ringing with DTAS
  • ETSI-DTMF Prior to Ringing with LR
  • ETSI-DTMF Prior to Ringing with RP
  • SIN 227-BT
  • NTT Japan
  • Auto Detect

If you are not sure which scheme to choose, please select “Auto Detect”. The default setting is “Bellcore/Telcordia”.

Fax Mode

Enable to detect Fax signal from the trunk during the call and send the received Fax to the default Email address in Fax setting page under Web GUI🡪Call Features🡪Fax/T.38. The default setting is “No”.

Note: If enabled, Fax Pass-through cannot be used.

FXO Dial Delay(ms)

Configure the time interval between off-hook and first dialed digit for outbound calls.

Auto Record

Enable automatic recording for the calls using this trunk. The default setting is disabled. The recording files can be accessed under Web GUI🡪CDR🡪Recording Files.

Disable This Trunk

If selected, the trunk will be disabled and incoming/Outgoing calls via this trunk will not be possible.

DAHDI Out Line Selection

This is to implement analog trunk outbound line selection strategy.

Three options are available:

  • Ascend

When the call goes out from this analog trunk, it will always try to use the first idle FXO port. The port order that the call will use to go out would be port 1🡪port 2🡪port 10🡪port 16. Every time it will start with port 1 (if it is idle).

  • Poll

When the call goes out from this analog trunk, it will use the port that is not used last time. And it will always use the port in the order of port 1🡪2🡪10🡪16🡪1🡪2🡪10🡪16🡪1🡪2🡪10🡪16…, following the last port being used.

  • Descend

When the call goes out from this analog trunk, it will always try to use the last idle FXO port. The port order that the call will use to go out would be port 16🡪port 10🡪port 2🡪port 1. Every time it will start with port 16 (if it is idle).

The default setting is “Ascend” mode.

Echo Cancellation Mode

The Non-Linear Processing (NLP) in echo cancellation helps to remove/suppress residual echo components that could not be removed by the LEC (Line Echo Canceller). Following modes are supported:

  • Default: Slightly reduces the amount of detected background noise.
  • High Noise Level Adjustment: Greatly reduces the amount of detected background noise.
  • Noise Masking: Injects noise to mask echo and greatly reduces the amount of detected background noise.
  • White Noise Injection: Injects variable amounts of white noise based on detected background noise and greatly reduces the amount of detected background noise.

Direct Callback

Allows external numbers the option to get directed to the extension that last called them.

For Example: User 2002 has dialed external number 061234575 but they were not reachable, once they have received missed call notification on their phone, they would mostly call back the number, if the option “Direct Callback” is enabled then they will be directly bridged to user 2002 regardless of the configured inbound destination.

Tone Settings

Busy Detection

Busy Detection is used to detect far end Hangup or for detecting busy signal. The default setting is “Yes”.

Busy Tone Count

If “Busy Detection” is enabled, users can specify the number of busy tones to be played before hanging up. The default setting is 2. Better results might be achieved if set to 4, 6 or even 8. Please note that the higher the number is, the more time is needed to Hangup the channel. However, this might lower the probability to get random Hangup.

Congestion Detection

Congestion detection is used to detect far end congestion signal. The default setting is “Yes”.

Congestion Count

If “Congestion Detection” is enabled, users can specify the number of congestion tones to wait for. The default setting is 2.

Tone Country

Select the country for tone settings. If “Custom” is selected, users could manually configure the values for Busy Tone and Congestion Tone. The default setting is “United States of America (USA)”.

Busy Tone

Syntax:

f1=val[@level][,f2=val[@level]],c=on1/off1[-on2/off2[-on3/off3]];

Frequencies are in Hz and cadence on and off are in ms.

Frequencies Range: [0, 4000)

Busy Level Range: (-300, 0)

Cadence Range: [0, 16383].

Select Tone Country “Custom” to manually configure Busy Tone value.

Default value:

f1=480@-50,f2=620@-50,c=500/500

Congestion Tone

Syntax:

f1=val[@level][,f2=val[@level]],c=on1/off1[-on2/off2[-on3/off3]];

Frequencies are in Hz and cadence on and off are in ms.

Frequencies Range: [0, 4000)

Busy Level Range: (-300, 0)

Cadence Range: [0, 16383].

Select Tone Country “Custom” to manually configure Busy Tone value.

Default value:

f1=480@-50,f2=620@-50,c=250/250

PSTN Detection

Click on “Detect” to detect the busy tone, Polarity Reversal and Current Disconnect by PSTN. Before the detecting, please make sure there is more than one channel configured and working properly. If the detection has busy tone, the “Tone Country” option will be set as “Custom”.

PSTN Detection

The UCM6200 provides PSTN detection function to help users detect the busy tone, Polarity Reversal and Current Disconnect by making a call from the PSTN line to another destination. The detecting call will be answered and up for about 1 minute. Once done, the detecting result will show and can be used for the UCM6200 settings.

  1. Go to UCM6200 Web GUI🡪Extension/Trunk🡪Analog Trunks page.
  2. Click to edit the analog trunk created for the FXO port.
  3. In the dialog window to edit the analog trunk, go to “Tone Settings” section and there are two methods to set the busy tone.
  • Tone Country. The default setting is “United States of America (USA)”.
  • PSTN Detection.
Figure 98: UCM6200 FXO Tone Settings

  1. Click on “Detect” to start PSTN detection.

Detect Model: Semi-auto Detect.

Source Channel: The source channel to be detected.

Destination Number: The number to be dialed for detecting. This number could be a cell phone number or other PSTN number that can be reached from the source channel PSTN number.

  1. Click “Detect” to start detecting. The source channel will initiate a call to the destination number. For “Auto Detect”, the call will be automatically answered. For “Semi-auto Detect”, the UCM6200 Web GUI will display prompt to notify the user to answer or hang up the call to finish the detecting process.
  2. Once done, the detected result will show. Users could save the detecting result as the current UCM6200 settings.

Table 50: PSTN Detection for Analog Trunk

Detect Model

Select “Auto Detect” or “Semi-auto Detect” for PSTN detection.

  • Auto Detect

Please make sure two or more channels are connected to the UCM6200 and in idle status before starting the detection. During the detection, one channel will be used as caller (Source Channel) and another channel will be used as callee (Destination Channel). The UCM6200 will control the call to be established and hang up between caller and callee to finish the detection.

  • Semi-auto Detect

Semi-auto detection requires answering or hanging up the call manually. Please make sure one channel is connected to the UCM6200 and in idle status before starting the detection. During the detection, source channel will be used as caller and send the call to the configured Destination Number. Users will then need follow the prompts in Web GUI to help finish the detection.

The default setting is “Auto Detect”.

Source Channel

Select the channel to be detected.

Destination Channel

Select the channel to help detect when “Auto Detect” is used.

Destination Number

Configure the number to be called to help the detection.

Note:

  • The PSTN detection process will keep the call up for about 1 minute.
  • If “Semi-auto Detect’ is used, please pick up the call only after informed from the Web GUI prompt.
  • Once the detection is successful, the detected parameters “Busy Tone”, “Polarity Reversal” and “Current Disconnect by PSTN” will be filled into the corresponding fields in the analog trunk configuration.

VoIP Trunks

VoIP Trunk Configuration

VoIP trunks can be configured in UCM6200 under Web GUI🡪Extension/Trunk🡪VoIP Trunks. Once created, the VoIP trunks will be listed with Provider Name, Type, Hostname/IP, Username and Options to edit/detect the trunk.

Note: UCM6200 currently supports up to 200 VoIP trunks.

  • Click on “Create New SIP Trunk” or “Create New IAX Trunk” to add a new VoIP trunk.
  • Click on to configure detailed parameters for the VoIP trunk.
  • Click on to configure Direct Outward Dialing (DOD) for the SIP Trunk.
  • Click on to start LDAP Sync.
  • Click on to delete the VoIP trunk.

For VoIP trunk example, please refer to the document in the following link:

https://documentation.grandstream.com/knowledge-base/sip-trunks-guide/

The VoIP trunk options are listed in the table below.

Table 51: Create New SIP Trunk

Type

Select the VoIP trunk type.

  • Peer SIP Trunk
  • Register SIP Trunk

Provider Name

Configure a unique label (up to 64 character) to identify this trunk when listed in outbound rules, inbound rules etc.

Host Name

Configure the IP address or URL for the VoIP provider’s server of the trunk.

Keep Original CID

Keep the CID from the inbound call when dialing out. This setting will override “Keep Trunk CID” option. Please ensure that the remote peer PBX supports matching user entry via the “username” field from authentication line.

Keep Trunk CID

If enabled, the trunk CID will not be overridden by extension’s CID when the extension has CID configured. The default setting is “No”.

NAT

Turn on this setting when the PBX is using public IP and communicating with devices behind NAT. If there is one-way audio issue, usually it is related to NAT configuration or SIP/RTP port support on the firewall.

Disable This Trunk

If checked, the trunk will be disabled.

Note: If a current SIP trunk is disabled, UCM will send UNREGISTER message (REGISTER message with expires=0) to the SIP provider.

TEL URI

If the trunk has an assigned PSTN telephone number, this field should be set to “User=Phone”. Then a “User=Phone” parameter will be attached to the Request-Line and TO header in the SIP request to indicate the E.164 number. If set to “Enable”, “Tel:” will be used instead of “SIP:” in the SIP request. The default setting is disabled.

Caller ID

Configure the Caller ID. This is the number that the trunk will try to use when making outbound calls. For some providers, it might not be possible to set the CallerID with this option and this option will be ignored.

Important Note: When making outgoing calls, the following priority order rule will be used to determine which CallerID will be set before sending out the call:

From user (Register Trunk Only) 🡪 CID from inbound call (Keep Original CID Enabled) 🡪 Trunk Username/CallerID (Keep Trunk CID Enabled) 🡪 DOD 🡪 Extension CallerID Number 🡪 Trunk Username/CallerID (Keep Trunk CID Disabled) 🡪 Global Outbound CID.

Need Registration

Select whether the trunk needs to register on the external server or not when “Register SIP Trunk” type is selected. The default setting is No.

Username

Enter the username to register to the trunk from the provider when “Register SIP Trunk” type is selected.

Password

Enter the password to register to the trunk from the provider when “Register SIP Trunk” is selected.

Auth ID

Enter the Authentication ID for “Register SIP Trunk” type.

Auto Record

Enable automatic recording for the calls using this trunk (for SIP trunk only). The default setting is disabled. The recording files can be accessed under Web GUI🡪CDR🡪Recording Files.

Direct Callback

Allows external numbers the option to get directed to the extension that last called them.

For Example: User 2002 has dialed external number 061234575 but they were not reachable, once they have received missed call notification on their phone, they would mostly call back the number, if the option “Direct Callback” is enabled then they will be directly bridged to user 2002 regardless of the configured inbound destination.

Direct Outward Dialing (DOD)

The UCM6200 provides Direct Outward Dialing (DOD) which is a service of a local phone company (or local exchange carrier) that allows subscribers within a company’s PBX system to connect to outside lines directly.

Example of how DOD is used:

Company ABC has a SIP trunk. This SIP trunk has 4 DIDs associated to it. The main number of the office is routed to an auto attendant. The other three numbers are direct lines to specific users of the company. Now when a user makes an outbound call their caller ID shows up as the main office number. This poses a problem as the CEO would like their calls to come from their direct line. This can be accomplished by configuring DOD for the CEO’s extension.

Steps to configure DOD on the UCM6200:

  1. To setup DOD go to UCM6200 Web GUI🡪Extension/Trunk🡪VoIP Trunks page.
  2. Click to access the DOD options for the selected SIP Trunk.
  3. Click “Add DOD” to begin your DOD setup
  4. For “DOD Number” enter one of the numbers (DIDs) from your SIP trunk provider. In the example above Company ABC received 4 DIDs from their provider. ABC will enter in the number for the CEO’s direct line. Note: DOD number cannot exceed 32 characters.
  5. Set the DOD name and If extension number need to be appended to the DID number click on “Add Extension”.
    Note: DOD name cannot exceed 32 characters.
  6. Select an extension from the “Available Extensions” list. Users have the option of selecting more than one extension. In this case, Company ABC would select the CEO’s extension. After making the selection, click on the button to move the extension(s) to the “Selected Extensions” list.
Figure 104: DOD extension selection

  1. Click “Save” at the bottom.

Once completed, the user will return to the Edit DOD page that shows all the extensions that are associated to a particular DOD.

Figure 105: Edit DOD

DOD can also be assigned to the UCM’s Fax Sending feature. To do this, select “VFAX” from the extension list when creating or editing a DOD number like shown below.

Figure 106: Fax Sending DOD

DOD Import/Export

UCM62xx now supports to import/export DOD CSV file for an easy configuration.

  • To Import DOD CSV file, click on “Import”.

Note: the file must contain and respect the following columns: DOD Number, DOD Name, Add extension, Local Member, LDAP Members.

Figure 107: DOD Import

  • To export the DOD file, users can click on “Export”.

SLA Station

The UCM6200 supports SLA that allows mapping the key with LED on a multi-line phone to different external lines. When there is an incoming call and the phone starts to ring, the LED on the key will flash in red and the call can be picked up by pressing this key. This allows users to know if the line is occupied or not. The SLA function on the UCM6200 is like BLF but SLA is used to monitor external line i.e., analog trunk on the UCM6200. Users could configure the phone with BLF mode on the MPK to monitor the analog trunk status or press the line key pick up call from the analog trunk on the UCM6200.

Create/Edit SLA Station

SLA Station can be configured on Web GUI🡪Extension/Trunk🡪SLA Station.

Figure 108: SLA Station

  • Click on to add an SLA Station.
  • Click on to edit the SLA Station. The following table shows the SLA Station configuration parameters.
  • Click on to delete the SLA Station.

Selected SLA Trunks

Select a trunk for this SLA from the Available SLA Trunks list. Click on to arrange the order. If there are multiple trunks selected, when there are calls on those trunks at the same time, pressing the LINE key on the phone will pick up the call on the first trunk here.

SLA Station Options

Ring Timeout

Configure the time (in seconds) to ring the station before the call is considered unanswered. No timeout is set by default. If set to 0, there will be no timeout.

Ring Delay

Configure the time (in seconds) for delay before ringing the station when a call first coming in on the shared line. No delay is set by default. If set to 0, there will be no delay.

Hold Access

This option defines the competence of the hold action for one particular trunk. If set to “open”, any station could hold a call on that trunk or resume one held session; if set to “private”, only the station that places the trunk call on hold could resume the session. The default setting is “open”.

Sample Configuration

  1. On the UCM6200, go to Web GUI🡪Extension/Trunk🡪Analog Trunks page. Create analog trunk or edit the existing analog trunk. Make sure “SLA Mode” is enabled for the analog trunk. Once enabled, this analog trunk will be only available for the SLA stations created under Web GUI🡪Extension/Trunk🡪SLA Station page.
Figure 109: Enable SLA Mode for Analog Trunk

  1. Click on “Save”. The analog trunk will be listed with trunk mode “SLA”.
Figure 110: Analog Trunk with SLA Mode Enabled

  1. On the UCM6200, go to Web GUI🡪Extension/Trunk🡪SLA Station page, click on “Add”. Please refer to section [Create/Edit SLA Station] for the configuration parameters. Users can create one or more SLA stations to monitor the analog trunk. The following figure shows two stations, 1002 and 1005, are configured to be associated with SLA trunk “fxo1”.
Figure 111: SLA Example – SLA Station

  1. On the SIP phone 1, configure to register UCM6200 extension 1002. Configure the MPK as BLF mode and the value must be set to “extension_trunkname”, which is 1002_fxo1 in this case.
  2. On the SIP phone 2, configure to register UCM6200 extension 1005. Configure the MPK as BLF mode and value must be set to “extension_trunkname”, which is 1005_fxo1 in this case.

Figure 112: SLA Example – MPK Configuration

Now the SLA station is ready to use. The following functions can be achieved by this configuration.

  • Making an outbound call from the station/extension, using LINE key

When the extension is in idle state, pressing the line key for this extension on the phone to off hook. Then dial the station’s extension number, for example, dial 1002 on phone 1 (or dial 1005 on phone 2), to hear the dial tone. Then the users could dial external number for the outbound call.

  • Making an outbound call from the station/extension, using BLF key

When the extension is in idle state, pressing the MPK and users could dial external numbers directly.

  • Answering call using LINE key

When the station is ringing, pressing the LINE key to answer the incoming call.

  • Barging-in active call using BLF key

When there is an active call between an SLA station and an external number using the SLA trunk, other SLA stations monitoring the same trunk could join the call by pressing the BLF key if “Barge Allowed” is enabled for the analog trunk.

  • Hold/UnHold using BLF key

If the external line is previously put on hold by an SLA station, another station that monitors the same SLA trunk could UnHold the call by pressing the BLF key if “Hold Access” is set to “open” on the analog trunk and the SLA station.

Call Routes

Outbound Routes

In the following sections, we will discuss the steps and parameters used to configure and manage outbound rules in UCM6200, these rules are the regulating points for all external outgoing calls initiated by the UCM through all types of trunks: SIP, Analog and Digital.

Configuring Outbound Routes

In the UCM6200, an outgoing calling rule pairs an extension pattern with a trunk used to dial the pattern. This allows different patterns to be dialed through different trunks (e.g., “Local” 7-digit dials through an FXO while “Long distance” 10-digit dials through a low-cost SIP trunk). Users can also set up a failover trunk to be used when the primary trunk fails.

Info

UCM6200 currently supports up to 500 Outbound routes.

Go to Web GUI🡪Extension/Trunk🡪Outbound Routes to add and edit outbound rules.

  • Click on to add a new outbound route.
  • Click on to edit the outbound route.
  • Click on to add a DOD to the outbound route
  • Click on to delete the outbound route.

On the UCM6200, the outbound route priority is based on “Best matching pattern”. For example, the UCM6200 has outbound route A with pattern 1xxx and outbound route B with pattern 10xx configured. When dialing 1000 for outbound call, outbound route B will always be used first. This is because pattern 10xx is a better match than pattern 1xxx. Only when there are multiple outbound routes with the same pattern configured.

Table 58: Outbound Route Configuration Parameters

Calling Rule Name

Configure the name of the calling rule (e.g., local, long_distance, and etc.). Letters, digits, _ and – are allowed.

Pattern

  • All patterns are prefixed with the “_”.
  • Special characters:

X: Any Digit from 0-9.

Z: Any Digit from 1-9.

N: Any Digit from 2-9.

.“: Wildcard. Match one or more characters.

!“: Wildcard. Match zero or more characters immediately.

Example: [123459] – Any digit from 1 to 9.

Notes:

  • Multiple patterns can be used. Each pattern should be entered in new line.
  • Users can add comments to the end of patterns to better organize and keep track of complex rules by typing “/*” and “*/” before and after each comment, respectively.
  • Example:

_X.

_NNXXNXXXXX /* 10-digit long distance */

_818X. /* Any number with leading 818 */

Disable This Route

After creating the outbound route, users can choose to enable and disable it. If the route is disabled, it will not take effect anymore. However, the route settings will remain in UCM. Users can enable it again when it is needed.

Password

Configure the password for users to use this rule when making outbound calls.

Call Duration Limit

Once call duration limit is enabled, it will set the maximum duration of call-blocking.

Maximum Call Duration

User can customize the maximum call duration (in seconds) that is allowed for the outbound call. By default, this value is set to 0 means there is no limit for the call duration.

Warning Time

This option will give caller warning when call duration is approaching to its limit. If the warning time is set to ‘y’, the warning tone will be played to caller when y seconds is left to end the call by UCM.

Warning Repeat Interval

Once this option is set to ‘z’, it will repeatedly be warning caller every z seconds after the first warning.

PIN Groups

If selected, the Password, Privilege Level and Enable Filter on Source Caller ID will not take effect.

For more details, refer to [PIN Groups] section.

PIN Groups with Privilege Level

If enabled and PIN Groups are used, Privilege Levels and Filter on Source Caller ID will also be applied.

Password

Configure the password for users to use this rule when making outbound calls.

Privilege Level

Select privilege level for the outbound rule.

  • Internal:

The lowest level required. All users can use this rule.

  • Local:

Users with Local, National, or International level are allowed to use this rule.

  • National:

Users with National or International level are allowed to use this rule.

  • International:

The highest level required. Only users with international level can use this rule.

The default setting is “Disable”. Please be aware of the potential security risks when using “Internal” level, which means all users can use this outbound rule to dial out from the trunk.

Enable Filter on Source Caller ID

When enabled, users could specify extensions allowed to use this outbound route. “Privilege Level” is automatically disabled if using “Enable Filter on Source Caller ID”.

The following two methods can be used at the same time to define the extensions as the source caller ID.

  1. Select available extensions/extension groups from the left to the right. This allows users to specify arbitrary single extensions available in the PBX.
  2. Custom Dynamic Route: define the pattern for the source caller ID. This allows users to define extension range instead of selecting them one by one.
  • All patterns are prefixed with the “_”.
  • Special characters:

X: Any Digit from 0-9.

Z: Any Digit from 1-9.

N: Any Digit from 2-9.

.“: Wildcard. Match one or more characters.

!“: Wildcard. Match zero or more characters immediately.

Example: [123459] – Any digit from 1 to 9.

Note: Multiple patterns can be used. Patterns should be separated by comma “,”. Example: _X. , _NNXXNXXXXX , _818X.

Outbound Route CID

Attempt to use the configured outbound route CID. This CID will not be used if DOD is configured. It is formatted as “name<number>” or “<number>” or “number”.

Send This Call Through Trunk

Use Trunk

Select the trunk for this outbound rule.

Strip

Allows the user to specify the number of digits that will be stripped from the beginning of the dialed string before the call is placed via the selected trunk.

Example:

The users will dial 9 as the first digit of a long-distance calls. However, 9 should not be sent out via analog lines and the PSTN line. In this case, 1 digit should be stripped before the call is placed.

Prepend

Specify the digits to be prepended before the call is placed via the trunk. Those digits will be prepended after the dialing number is stripped.

Use Failover Trunk

Failover Trunk

Failover trunks can be used to ensure calls can still be made in the scenario that the main trunk is congested or down.

UCM6200 support up to 10 failover trunks.

Example: The user’s primary trunk is a VoIP trunk and the user would like to use the PSTN when the VoIP trunk is not available. The PSTN trunk can be configured as the failover trunk of the VoIP trunk.

Strip

Allows the user to specify the number of digits that will be stripped from the beginning of the dialed string before the call is placed via the selected trunk.

Example:

The users will dial 9 as the first digit of a long-distance calls. However, 9 should not be sent out via analog lines and the PSTN line. In this case, 1 digit should be stripped before the call is placed.

Prepend

Specify the digits to be prepended before the call is placed via the trunk. Those digits will be prepended after the dialing number is stripped.

Time Condition

Time Condition

Outbound routes can be configured to use different trunks based on time conditions such as holidays, office times, specific times, etc.

Outbound Blacklist

The UCM6200 allows users to configure blacklist for outbound routes. If the dialing number matches the blacklist numbers or patterns, the outbound call will not be allowed. The outbound blacklist can be configured under UCM Web GUI🡪Extension/Trunk🡪Outbound Routes: Outbound Blacklist.

Users can configure numbers, patterns or select country code to add in the blacklist. Please note that the blacklist settings apply to all outbound routes.

Figure 113: Country Codes

Blacklist Manage

Add Blacklist Rule

Allows to define a rule based on number(s) or pattern(s) as blacklist entry. Pattern rules:

N : Any digit from 2-9

X : Any digit from 0-9

Z : Any digit from 1-9

. : Wildcard, matching one or more characters

! : Wildcard, matching zero or more characters immediately

: Hyphens are used mainly to improve readability and are not involved in pattern matching.

Note: Users can export outbound route blacklists and delete all blacklist entries. Additionally, users can also import blacklists for outbound routes.

Figure 114: Blacklist Import/Export

PIN Groups

The UCM6200 supports pin group. Once this feature is configured, users can apply pin group to specific outbound routes. When placing a call on pin protected outbound routes, caller will be asked to input the group pin number, this feature can be found on the webGUI🡪Extension/Trunk🡪Outbound Routes🡪PIN Groups.

Name

Specify the name of the group

Record In CDR

Specify Whether or not to display the used PIN group and name in a call’s CDR entry.

PIN Number

Specify the PIN that will be required to dial out.

PIN Name

Specify the name of the PIN

  • Click on to add a new inbound route.
  • Click on “Blacklist” to configure blacklist for all inbound routes.
  • Click on to edit the inbound route.
  • Click on to delete the inbound route.

Inbound Rule Configurations

Trunks

Select the trunk to configure the inbound rule.

Pattern

– All patterns are prefixed with the "_".

– Special characters:

  • X: Any Digit from 0-9.

  • Z: Any Digit from 1-9.

  • N: Any Digit from 2-9.

  • ".": Wildcard. Match one or more characters.

  • "!": Wildcard. Match zero or more characters immediately.

Example: [12345-9] - Any digit from 1 to 9.

– There are two pattern fields: Pattern and CallerID:

  • Pattern: Specifies the pattern that the dialed number must satisfy to use the inbound route. Example: if the pattern is "_2xxx", the dialed number must be a four-digit number that starts with 2 in order for this route to be used.

  • CallerID Pattern: Specifies the CallerID pattern that callers must satisfy to use the inbound route. Example: if the CallerID pattern is "_1234", only callers with a CID of 1234 can use this route.

Notes:

  • Multiple patterns can be used. Each pattern should be entered in new
    line.

  • Users can add comments to the end of patterns to better organize and
    keep track of complex rules by typing “/*” and “*/” before and after each
    comment respectively.

Example:

Pattern:                                                                       CallerID Pattern:
_X.                                                                                 1000
_NNXXNXXXXX /* 10-digit long distance */                 1001
_818X. /* Any number with leading 818 */

Disable This Route

After creating the inbound route, users can choose to enable and disable it.
If the route is disabled, it will not take effect anymore. However, the route
settings will remain in UCM. Users can enable it again when it is needed.

Allowed to seamless transfer

Allows the selected extension to use this function. If an extension is busy,
and a mobile phone is bound to that extension, the mobile phone can pick
up calls to that extension.

Alert-Info

Configure the Alert-Info, when UCM6200 receives an INVITE request, the
Alert-Info header field specifies an alternative ring tone to the UAS.

Special Ringing Tone

This option will allow users to choose the custom ring back tone to play
when caller reaches the route.

Fax Detection

If enabled, fax signals from the trunk during a call will be detected.

Fax Destination

Configures the destination of faxes.

  • Extension: Send the fax to the designated FXS/SIP extension (fax machine) or a FAX extension.

  • Fax to Email: Send the fax as an email attachment to the designated extension's email address. If the selected extension does not have an associated email address, it will be sent to the default email address configured in the Call Features 🡪Fax/T.38 🡪 Fax Settings page.

Note: Please make sure the sending email
address is correctly configured in System Settings🡪Email Settings.

Prepend Trunk Name

If enabled, the trunk name will be added to the caller id name as the displayed caller id name.

Block Collect Calls

If enabled, collect calls will be blocked.

Note 1: Collect calls are indicated by the header “P-Asserted-Service-Info: service-code=Backward Collect Call, P-Asserted-Service-Info: service-code=Collect Call”.

Note 2: There is also a global setting for this option in the SIP Settings -> General Settings page.

Set Caller ID Info

Manipulates Caller ID (CID) name and/or number within the call flow to help identify who is calling. When enabled two field will show allowing to manipulate the CallerID Number and the Caller ID Name.

CallerID Number

Configures the pattern-matching format to manipulate the numbers of incoming callers or to set a fixed CallerID number for calls that go through this inbound route.

  • ${CALLERID(num)}: Default value which indicates the number of an incoming caller (CID). The CID will not be modified.

  • ${CALLERID(num):n}: Skips the first n characters of a CID number, where n is a number.

  • ${CALLERID(num):-n}: Takes the last n characters of a CID number, where n is a number.

  • ${CALLERID(num):s:n}: Takes n characters of a CID number starting from s+1, where n is a number and s is a character position (e.g. ${CALLERID(num):2:7} takes 7 characters after the second character of a CID number).

  • n${CALLERID(num)}: Prepends n to a CID number, where n is a number.

CallerID Name

Default string is ${CALLERID(name)} which means the name of an incoming caller, it is a pattern-matching syntax format.

A${CALLERID(name)}B means Prepend a character ‘A’ and suffix a character ‘B’ to ${CALLERID(name)}.

Not using pattern-matching syntax means setting fix name to incoming caller.

Enable Route-Level Inbound

Gives uses the ability to configure inbound mode per individual route. When enabled two fields will show allowing to set the Inbound mode and the Inbound mode Suffix.

Note: Global inbound mode must be enabled before users can configure route-level inbound mode

Inbound Mode

Choose the inbound mode for this route.

Note: Toggling the global inbound mode will not affect routes that have Route-level Inbound Mode enabled. If all routes have the option enabled, toggling the global inbound mode via BLF will trigger a voice prompt indicating that none of the routes will be affected by the global inbound mode change.

Inbound Mode Suffix

Dial “Global Inbound Mode feature code + Inbound Mode Suffix” or a route’s assigned suffix to toggle the route’s inbound mode.

The BLF subscribed to the inbound mode suffix can monitor the current inbound mode.

Inbound Multiple Mode

Multiple mode allows user to switch between destinations of the inbound rule by feature codes. Configure related feature codes as described in [Inbound Route: Multiple Mode]. If this option is enabled, user can use feature code to switch between different modes/destinations.

Dial Trunk

This option shows up only when “By DID” is selected. If enabled, the external users dialing in to the trunk via this inbound route can dial outbound call using the UCM6200’s trunk.

Privilege Level

This option shows up only when “By DID” is selected.

  • Disable: Only the selected Extensions or Extension Groups are allowed to use this rule, when enabled Filter on Source Caller ID.

  • Internal: The lowest level required. All users are allowed to use this rule, check this level might be risky for security purpose.

  • Local: User with Local level, National or International level are allowed to use this rule.

  • National: Users with National or International Level are allowed to use this rule.

  • International: The highest level required. Only users with international level are allowed to use this rule.

Allowed DID Destination

This option shows up only when “By DID” is selected. This controls the destination that can be reached by the external caller via the inbound route. The DID destination are:

  • Extension

  • Conference

  • Call Queue

  • Ring Group

  • Paging/Intercom Groups

  • IVR

  • Voicemail Groups

Table 60: Inbound Rule Configuration Parameters

Inbound Route: Prepend Example

UCM6200 now allows user to prepend digits to an inbound DID pattern, with strip taking precedence over prepend. With the ability to prepend digits in inbound route DID pattern, user no longer needs to create multiple routes for the same trunk to route calls to different extensions. The following example demonstrates the process:

  1. If Trunk provides a DID pattern of 18005251163.
  2. If Strip is set to 8, UCM6200 will strip the first 8 digits.
  3. If Prepend is set to 2, UCM6200 will then prepend a 2 to the stripped number, now the number become 2163.
  4. UCM6200 will now forward the incoming call to extension 2163.
Figure 123: Inbound Route feature: Prepend

Inbound Route: Multiple Mode

In the UCM6200, the user can configure inbound route to enable multiple mode to switch between different destinations. The inbound multiple mode can be enabled under Inbound Route settings.

Figure 124: Inbound Route – Multiple Mode

When Multiple Mode is enabled for the inbound route, the user can configure a “Default Destination” and a “Mode 1” destination for all routes. By default, the call coming into the inbound routes will be routed to the default destination.

SIP end devices that have registered on the UCM6200 can dial feature code *62 to switch to inbound route “Mode 1” and dial feature code *61 to switch back to “Default Destination”. Switching between different mode can be easily done without Web GUI login.

For example, the customer service hotline destination has to be set to a different IVR after 7PM. The user can dial *62 to switch to “Mode 1” with that IVR set as the destination before off work.

To customize feature codes for “Default Mode” and “Mode 1”, click on under “Inbound Routes” page, check “Enable Inbound Multiple Mode” option and change “Inbound Default Mode” and “Inbound Mode 1” values (By default, *61 and *62 respectively).

Figure 125: Inbound Route – Multiple Mode Feature Codes

Inbound Route: Route-Level Mode

In the UCM6200, users can enable Route-Level Inbound Mode to switch between different destinations for each individual inbound route. The inbound Route-Level mode can be enabled under Inbound Route settings.

Figure 126: Inbound Route – Route-Level Mode

Global inbound mode must be enabled before configuring Route-Level Inbound Mode. Additionally, the Mode 1 must be configured as well.

When Route-Level Inbound Mode is enabled, the user can configure a “Default Destination” and a “Mode 1” destination for each specific route. By default, the call coming into this specific inbound route will be routed to the default destination.

Users can toggle the route’s inbound mode by dialing “Global Inbound Mode feature code + Inbound Mode Suffix” and the current inbound route can be monitored by subscribing a BLF to the Inbound Mode Suffix.

For example, Inbound Default Mode feature code is set to *61 and the Inbound Mode suffix for route 1 is set to 1010. To switch the mode of route 1 to Default Mode, users can dial *611010.

Note: Toggling the global inbound mode will not affect routes that have Route-level Inbound Mode enabled. If all routes have the option enabled, toggling the global inbound mode via BLF will trigger a voice prompt indicating that none of the routes will be affected by the global inbound mode change.

Inbound Route: Inbound Mode BLF Monitoring

Users can assign MPKs and VPKs to monitor and toggle the current global inbound mode of the UCM.

To do this, please refer to the following steps:

  1. Access the UCM web GUI and navigate to Extension/Trunk🡪Inbound Routes.
  2. Click on the button and enable Inbound Multiple Mode.
  3. Edit the subscribe number field to the desired BLF value.
Figure 127: Global Inbound Mode

  1. Configure the BLF value on a phone’s MPK/VPK. As an example, a GXP2140 with the BLF configured will show the Inbound Mode status on its screen once configured. The 777 BLF is lit green, indicating that the current inbound mode is “Default Mode”.
Figure 128: Inbound Mode – Default Mode

  1. Pressing the key will toggle the inbound mode to “Mode 1”, and the button’s color will change to red.
Figure 129: Inbound Mode – Mode 1

Inbound Route: Import/Export Inbound Route

Users can now import and export inbound routes to quickly set up inbound routing on a UCM or to back up an existing configuration. An exported inbound route configuration can be directly imported without needing any manual modifications.

Figure 130: Import/Export Inbound Route

The imported file should be on CSV format and using UTF-8 encoding, the imported file should contain below columns, and each column should be separated by a comma (It is recommended to use Notepad++ for the imported file creation):

  • Disable This Route: Yes/No.

  • Destination: An Extension number, Ring Group Extension…
  • Default Time Condition.
  • Mode 1: By DID, Extension, Voicemail… User should enter a Default Destination string following the values we have in the mode 1 Default Destination list.
  • Mode 1 Destination: An Extension number, Ring Group Extension…
  • Mode 1 Time Condition.

FAX Detection

The UCM can automatically detect fax signaling from FXO ports and forward these calls to specified destinations.

FAX with Two Media

Since UCM’s system is now based on Asterisk 13, fax re-invites that negotiate with multiple codecs are now supported. If a re-invite contains both T.38 and PCMU/PCMA codecs, T.38 will be prioritized.

Blacklist Configurations

In the UCM6200, Blacklist is supported for all inbound routes. Users could enable the Blacklist feature and manage the Blacklist by clicking on “Blacklist”.

  • Select the checkbox for “Blacklist Enable” to turn on Blacklist feature for all inbound routes. Blacklist is disabled by default.
  • Enter a number in “Add Blacklist Number” field and then click to add to the list. Anonymous can also be added as a Blacklist Number.
  • To remove a number from the Blacklist, select the number in “Blacklist list” and click on or click on button to remove all the numbers on the blacklist.
  • User can also export the inbound route blacklist by pressing on button.

Wave WebRTC Video Calling & Conferencing

Web audio and video calls and conferencing can now be achieved through the UCM’s new WebRTC page. To get started with this new feature, please make sure to:

  1. Navigate to Value-Added Features 🡪 WebRTC and enable WebRTC support.
videoconference1
Figure 147: Enabling WebRTC Feature

  1. Enable the WebRTC on the extensions that would use this feature under Extension / Trunk 🡪 Extensions.
videoconference6
Figure 148: Enabling WebRTC on Extensions

The UCM offers the possibility to log in to an extension via Grandstream Wave Portal using user portal password in addition to SIP registration password, where it offers a sleek interface to host conferences, receive email reminders for scheduled conferences, manage contacts, initiate calls, call transfer, chat functionality and more.

Access the page by adding “/gswave” after the UCM’s server address and port. (e.g. https://my.ucm.com:8089/gswave).

Figure 149: Grandstream Wave Interface

Note: Starting with 1.0.19.27, the registration limit was increased to 300 for UCM62xx. The limit is the same regardless of whether the user is making voice calls or video calls

For more details about the WebRTC feature, please refer to the following guide:

https://documentation.grandstream.com/knowledge-base/wave-video-calling-conferencing-guide/

IPVideoTalk Meetings

UCM extensions can now dial into IPVT (IPVideoTalk) meetings by creating a peer trunk to an IPVT server. However, users must make sure that the IPVT server they are peering to also has a peer trunk to their UCM configured. This setting can be found in Admin Center🡪SIP Trunk Configuration.

Figure 150: IPVT SIP Trunk page

Next, users must create a peer trunk on the UCM to the IPVT server. Enter one of the following addresses based on the desired connection protocol:

  • TCP: pro.ipvideotalk.com:20000
  • TLS: pro.ipvideotalk.com:20001
Figure 151 – Peer Trunk to IPVT

Make sure that the Transport field is either “TCP” or “TLS”. Save and apply changes to create the trunk.

Next, edit the newly created trunk and click on the Advanced Settings tab. Make sure the IPVT Mode option is checked. Otherwise, you may experience audio issues when dialing into IPVT.

Figure 152 – IPVT Mode

Finally, create an outbound route for this trunk. This route will be used to dial IPVT meeting IDs. Due to IPVT meeting IDs having a random assortment of numbers, it is recommended to use a unique code to precede the meeting ID so that UCM can direct calls to the IPVT trunk without fail (e.g., *99). In the below image, “x.” would be the meeting ID.

Figure 153 – IPVT Outbound Pattern

However, if a unique code is used, users must also configure the Strip field to remove the unique code from the meeting ID before the call is sent to IPVT.

Figure 154 – IPVT Outbound Strip

In this example, the Strip field has “3” configured to remove the example unique code *99 from the dialed number before the call is routed out to the IPVT server. Once this outbound route has been created, users can now use a UCM extension to dial IPVT meeting rooms.

Note: An IPVT account can have only 1 SIP trunk peered to it.

IVR

Configure IVR

IVR configurations can be accessed under the UCM6200 Web GUI🡪Call Features🡪IVR. Users could create, edit, view and delete an IVR.

Assign permission level for outbound calls if “Dial Trunk” is enabled. The available permissions are “Internal”, “Local”, “National” and “International” from the lowest level to the highest level. The default setting is “Internal”. If the user tries to dial outbound calls after dialing into the IVR, the UCM6200 will compared the IVR’s permission level with the outbound route’s privilege level. If the IVR’s permission level is higher than (or equal to) the outbound route’s privilege level, the call will be allowed to go through.

Replace Caller ID

If enabled, the UCM will replace the caller display name with the IVR name the caller know whether the call is incoming from a direct extension or an IVR.

Click on 1.PNG (19×19) 2.PNG (20×20) to choose. And use UP and Down arrow to select the order of the agent within the call queue.

Static Agents limitation:

To guarantee a high level of audio quality with the call queue feature, UCMs will limit the number of static agents allowed to be assigned depending on the UCM model used. If the user attempts to configure the number of static agents to be more than the maximum allowed number, a warning message will appear.

Figure 184: Static Agents limit

The following table lists the maximum number of static agents for each UCM model:

Notes:

  • After enabling the feature, users need to set the option on GXP21XX phone under “Account🡪SIP Settings🡪Advanced Features🡪Special Feature” to “UCM Call Center” to display a softkey on the phone to login/logout.
  • When this option is enabled, dynamic agent login will be no longer supported.
  • In case of concurrent registrations, changing agent status on one phone (login/logout) will be reflected on all phones.

Autofill

Toggles the way UCM handles and distributes call traffic. Please see the section below for more details.

Queue Auto fill enhancement:

In previous UCM firmware, the call queue has a serial type behavior in that the queue will make all waiting callers wait in the queue even if there is more than one available member ready to take calls until the head caller is connected with the member they were trying to get to.

The next waiting caller in line then becomes the head caller, and they are then connected with the next available member and all available members and waiting callers waits while this happens.

Starting from 1.0.14.x, the waiting callers are connecting with available members in a parallel fashion until there are no more available members or no more waiting callers.

For example, in a call queue with linear method, if there are two available agents, when two callers call in the queue at the same time, UCM will assign the two callers to each of the two available agents at the same time, rather than assigning the second caller to second available agent after the first agent answers the call from the first caller.

Queue Statistics

Along with the mentioned call center features, UCM offers detailed call queue statistics, allowing system administrators to make informed decisions regarding call traffic distribution and handling.

Figure 186: Call Queue Statistics

Select the time interval along with the queue(s) and agent(s) to get detailed statistics.

User can download statistics on CSV format by clicking on the download button , also the statistics can be cleared using “Clear Statistics” button .

The statistics can be automatically sent to a specific email address on a preconfigured Period, this can be done by clicking on “Automatic Download Settings” button , and user will be directed to below page where he can configure the download period (Day/Week/Month) and the Email where the statistics will be sent (Email settings should be configured correctly):

Figure 187 : Automatic Download Settings – Queue Statistics

Significantly more information is now available UCM’s queue statistics page. In addition to the information presented in previous firmware, users can now view a call log that displays calls to all agents and queues, a dynamic agent login/logout record, and a pause log. Statistics reports for these new pages can be obtained by pressing the Download button in the top left corner of the Call Queue Statistics page. The reports are in .CSV format and will be packaged into a single tar.gz file upon download.

Agent Details

Agent Details is a call log that shows every call to each individual agent from all queues. The following information is available:

  • Time – the date and time the call was received.
  • Agent – the agent that was rung for the call.
  • Queue – the queue that the call went to.
  • Caller ID Number – the CID of the caller
  • Abandoned – indicates whether the call was picked up or not by that specific agent. If the call rang several agents simultaneously, and this specific agent did not pick up the call, the call will be considered abandoned even if a different agent in the same queue picked it up.
  • Wait Time – the amount of time that the call was waiting in queue after dialing in.
  • Talk Time – the duration of the call after it was picked up by agent.
Figure 188: Agent details

Login Record

Login Record is a report that shows the timestamps of dynamic agent logins and logouts and calculates the amount of time the dynamic agents were logged in. Dynamic agents are extensions that log in and out either via agent login/logout codes (configured in Global Queue Settings page) or by using the GXP21xx call queue softkey. A new record will be created only when an agent logs out. The following information is available:

  • Agentthe extension that logged in and out.
  • Queue – the queue that the extension logged in and out of.
  • Login Time – the time that the extension logged into the queue.
  • Logout Time – the time that the extension logged out of the queue.
  • Login Duration – the total length of time that the extension was logged in.
Figure 189: Login Record

Pause Log

Pause Log is a report that shows the times of agent pauses and unpauses and calculates the amount of time that agents are paused. If an agent is part of several queues, an entry will be created for each queue. An entry will only be created after an agent unpauses. The following information is available:

  • Agentthe extension that paused and unpaused
  • Queue – the queue that the agent is in.
  • Pause Time – the time that the agent paused.
  • Resume Time – the time that the agent unpaused.
  • Pause Duration – the total length of time the agent was paused for.
