Vodia PBX now enables users to schedule reports beyond daily intervals - the PBX now supports weekly, monthly, and quarterly options. Reports can be combined, such as “0:00/week 0:00/month,” to send both weekly and monthly reports at midnight. Caution is necessary, however, when scheduling quarterly reports on busy systems (due to performance concerns). The web interface now offers period selection for reports, such as the current or previous day, week, or month. While this simplifies report generation, large systems should be mindful of potential slowdowns when accessing large amounts of data. The "Try" button continues to generate daily reports.

This article explains how to configure a SIP trunk with VoIP.ms on the Vodia PBX, starting with ensuring your system is properly set up with NAT, firewall checks, and correct SIP settings. After configuring your VoIP.ms account, including setting the device type and dialing mode, you'll gather necessary details like the username, password, DID numbers, and registrar server. In the Vodia PBX, create a new SIP trunk and input the VoIP.ms settings such as registrar, username, and password. You'll then configure how incoming calls are routed, either based on the Request-URI or directing them to a specific account. Once completed, save the settings and the trunk will register automatically (with the dial plan generated for you).

Provisioning a Yealink phone with the Vodia PBX involves resetting the device, logging in through the phone’s web interface and linking it to the PBX using its MAC address. Once reset, retrieve the phone’s IP and enter it in a browser to access the login interface. Register the MAC address with the desired extension on the Vodia PBX, then enter the PBX server URL in the phone's “Auto Provisioning” settings. Confirming and initiating this auto-provision process connects the phone to the PBX, allowing it to register and be ready for use within minutes.

This article highlights the growing concern of IT security, especially when it comes to IP-PBX systems. While businesses often secure their IT infrastructure, their IP telephony networks are frequently vulnerable to attacks. Hackers can gain access by exploiting weak passwords, sometimes using brute force to guess the correct one. Once inside, they can disrupt the system, racking up high call charges or secretly recording conversations. To secure IP-PBX systems, businesses need to take preventive measures, such as enforcing strong passwords and monitoring for unauthorized access.

In the world of telephone systems, deciding on extra features involves careful consideration. Many systems share similar features, with users often utilizing less than 50 percent. For example, call recording aids in monitoring and dispute resolution. ACD/Call Center functionality benefits businesses routing calls to groups. Some features cater to specific industries, like 'find me follow me' for diverse call routing. In telecom, it's not just about features winning deals but applications winning customers.
