Happy new year! 64 bits miniSIPServer!

Happy new year! 64 bits miniSIPServer!

Today we upgrade miniSIPServer V14 to support 64 bits Debian and Ubuntu. That’s a great news for some of our customers.

As we know, in some networks, customers have deployed 64 bits Debian or Ubuntu servers. So when we want to install previous 32 bits miniSIPServer in their servers, it is required to install some additional 32 bits libraries. Of course, it is no problem to do that, but some customers often think it could be unstable for their servers.

So we decide to migrate MSS to 64 bits to fit this requirement. Now it is unnecessary to care about 32 bits problem.

For customers who are using 64 bits Windows, it is unnecessary to care about 32 bits problem. Windows can process them in perfect way, so please keep current versions.

Call waiting service

Call waiting service

Most SIP devices, such SIP phones, can support “call waiting” service themselves. But for some old SIP devices, such as some simple SIP ATA devices, it is required PBX to provide “call waiting” service.

So we upgrade MSS to V13.6 to provide this service. In MSS, we name it as “simple call waiting” service because MSS’ call waiting service only support

(1) put original call into waiting queue if current called party is busy.

(2) reconnect previous calls if current called party is available.

So user cannot press ‘R’ key to switch calls. It is simple and we hope it can fit most customers requirements.

Please refer to our service document for more details:

How to change TCP port?

How to change TCP port?

2013-09-23 updated: with latest V14.2, we can configure ‘TCP port’ in MSS. Please refer to following document:

http://www.myvoipapp.com/docs/mss_services/sip-over-tcp/index.html#tcpPort

——————————————————————-

By default, MSS starts 5060 TCP port to receive or send SIP over TCP messages. 5060 is default TCP port defined by SIP standard. In MSS GUI or web UI, we can only change SIP UDP port.

If we want to change its TCP port, for example, we want to change it to 1234, we need do as following:

(1) In the MSS install directory, please create a text file whose name is ‘mss_var_param.ini’ file.

(2) In this INI file, please add following content:

[sip]
gVarSipTCPPort=1234

(3) Please restart MSS to enable it.

Reports in MSS

Reports in MSS

2020-12-29 updated: Since miniSIPServer has ‘event channel‘ function to provide users’ status and details of each call, customers can use these information to build their own reports, so we cancel these functions from V38.

Most SIP or PBX devices may have some reports to help administrator to check system’s status.

MSS has some reports too. Please click menu “Reports” to show them. MSS has two reports at this time:

(1) Basic call report

(2) Local user report

Both these reports are generated per hour. If there is not any value for each item, then the report will not be generated.

“Local user report” is simple. It only calculates how many local users are online per hour.

“Basic call report” is used to calculate how many calls MSS has been processed in one hour. There are some important items, such as “attempt”, “alert”, and “answer” and so on. It includes total durations and it can help administrator to understand how many calls have been answered and the avarage duration in one hour. If there are too many calls to make MSS heavy work-load, administrator can decide to upgrade MSS.

miniSIPServer LTS upgraded to V12

miniSIPServer LTS upgraded to V12

The latest LTS is upgraded from V6.6 to V12 which has been tested and deployed around world by our customers.

V12 has much more features than previous V6.6.x and stable enough to be a new LTS version. Of course, we provide at least one-year supporting service for this new version.

Previous LTS version (V6.6.x) will be kept in supporting list until end of this year (2013).

At the same time, stable version is upgraded to V13. New features will be merged into this version and V12 will not include any new feature or service.

MSS V6.5 updated to support “speed-dialing” feature

MSS V6.5 updated to support “speed-dialing” feature

V6.5 has been upgraded to support “speed dialing” feature.

In fact, previous versions can also support “speed dialing” feature by using “dial plan” functions. To do that, customers need make configurations with several tables, it could be difficult. With the new version, we separate a independent table to configure “speed dial” and it is so easy to support it.

Please refer to our document for more details about this feature:
