Sangoma Reseller Webinar Q&A

Question 1: Does Digium mobile solution work on Sangoma’s PBXact?

Answer: Unfortunately, the answer is no. As of right now, Digium’s mobile solution only works with Digium Switchvox. However, the integration with Sangoma products could happen down the road in the future.

Question 2: How are the s206 and s406 IP phones different from the s205?

Answer: The s206 has 2 SIP accounts, while the s205 is equipped with 1 SIP registration only. Also, the s206 and the s406 SIP phones have a new processor chip that supports Opus codec.

ITEXPO 2019 Recap

VoIP Supply is no stranger to ITEXPO.  We love the opportunity to meet our customers and resellers in person and let everyone know what we’re all about as a company.  

The event that was held this year in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida was no different.  Members of our sales and marketing teams were there with bells on in our fully functioning exhibit booth.

What do I mean by fully functioning? This year, our booth was filled with Flashing emergency lights and IP paging units from Algo, IP phones from Grandstream, Polycom and Fanvil – all hooked up and easy to test!

And in usual VoIP Supply fashion, we were able to have some fun for our visitors with our ‘Chip To Win’ golf game!  We think this was a bit hit amongst exhibitors and attendees alike!

All in all, we feel that the event was a huge success and are already looking forward to next year!  If you were unable to attend or did not have a chance to swing by to say “hi”, then check out this short recap video we put together showcasing the fun and excitement of ITEXPO!

Were you at ITEXPO? What did you think of the event?  If you wanted to meet with one of our team members but did not get the chance, give us a call at 1-800-398-8647 or come see us  April 9th through April 12th at Channel Partners in Las Vegas!

How to Use Yealink’s SIP-T49G Bluetooth Phone with a Mobile Phone

February 8, 2019 by Ying-Hui Chen

Many of Yealink’s business IP phones have built-in Bluetooth support that allows you to connect your mobile phone to the Yealink phone unit wirelessly.

The advantage is that you can switch the desktop phone to your mobile phone anytime you want, even during a phone call without any interruptions. (The person on the other end won’t even notice it!) Let’s take Yealink’s SIP-T49G business phone as our example and see how this process works:

How to use Yealink’s SIP-T49G with a Mobile Phone

Switching back and forth between the T49G business phone and your mobile phone is easy. Let’s take a quick look at the simple process:

  • Turn on Bluetooth from your mobile phone setting
  • Connect your mobile phone to SIP-T49G via Bluetooth
  • When there is an incoming call, both your cell phone and the T49G will ring
  • Answer the call on either the SIP-T49G desktop phone or your mobile phone
  • On your mobile phone, you can switch this call to SIP-T49G without any interruptions
  • When your conversion is finished, simply hang up the call on your cell phone or the T49G and the call will hang up on both ends

This Bluetooth connection process works for the T49G, SIP-T58V, SIP-T58A, SIP-T56A, and SIP-T49G. The best part is that the SIP-T49G IP phone can actually synchronize with your mobile phone contacts and call the contacts on behalf of your mobile phone. This can save busy workers like you lots of hassle!

Did you switch your call successfully from the SIP-T49G to your mobile phone? How did you take advantage of this feature? Share with us!

Microsoft Enhanced Teams Features to Empower Healthcare Professionals

It’s not surprising to see that Microsoft Teams introduces new features again! This time, the new features are targeting healthcare professionals, enabling secure communication and collaboration in healthcare institutions. The new enhancements can be broken down into three areas:

  • Priority notifications for urgent messages (this is currently in private preview) – Send alerts every two minutes (up to 20 minutes) to recipients on their mobile and desktop devices until a response is received.
  • New Message Delegation – Recipients can now delegate messages to another person within the organization. This feature is coming soon!
  • Integrate FHIR-enabled electronic health records (EHR) data with Teams – allow healthcare providers to access patient records and chat with members right in the Teams mobile app. The Teams integrations with Infor, Cloverleaf, Dapasoft and more platforms are still in the pipeline!

VoIP service has a lot of potential. Call one of our VoIP experts today at 1-800-398-8647 to get a free consultation about how you can take full advantage of VoIP features!

How to Configure the Algo 8039 Video Intercom with the Algo 8061

February 1, 2019 by Ying-Hui Chen

Algo’s 8039 video intercom attracts many businesses who are looking for a flexible and reliable intercom solution that can be easily configured in several different ways to meet their requirements.

The Algo 8061 is a PoE interface module providing SIP interface control specifically for the Algo 8036, 8039, and 8201. Today, we are going to show you how easy it is to configure the Algo 8039 with the Algo 8061 relay controller. Let’s get to it!

How to Configure the Algo 8039 Video Intercom

  1. Find the IP address of your Algo 8061 – You can find it by using the locator tool from Algo’s website. This tool displays all of the Algo devices available on the network, and their corresponding IP addresses.
  2. Point your browser to the IP address. The 8061 Control Panel will be displayed.
  3. Log in with a default password “algo
  4. Set a password: Go to the Config page and set a password in the Door Control Password field in the Features section. You will need this password when configuring the 8039 with the device.

The 8039 can be configured from the web interface.

  1. Find IP address of your Algo 8039: Press the blue call button to hear the IP address over the speaker.
  2. Log in via the IP address: Log into the 8039 Control Panel (default password is algo) and go to the Basic Settings > Door Control tab
  3. Enter the IP address of the 8061 in the “Network Door Controller Address” field and the associated password in the “Network Door Controller Password” field. This will be used to authenticate the link between the 8061 and 8039
  4. Enter a “Momentary Open Code”. This is a 1-4 digit DTMF code that can be used to unlock the door for a brief period of time (Default: 6)
  5. Set the “Duration” during which the door will be unlocked (Default: 3 seconds)
