Howdy,

Are there bugs or quirks you're currently experiencing?

Inquiring minds at Digium want to know, so that we can make sure we're working to correct them. 😀

The major ones seem to have been resolved. They mostly centered around using a specific version of DPMA with a specific version of Asterisk 10. Moving forward or backward a version of either resolved the issue. The issues were about DPMA messages not fully being transmitted by Asterisk causing things not to work at all.

In regards to quirks, the biggest one for me is the copious amounts of logs that DPMA produces. I realize that there's no easy way to squelch just DPMA logs, but each phone generates about 100MB of logs over a 24 hour period. That's pretty huge. It's been my #1 feature request for over 6 months.

This is what I'm wondering are the root of the issues we're having, but I truly have no idea, just speculation at this point. We're definitely still having issues with our system that are causing us more and more frustration. The regular SIP items with our phones seem to work just fine, no echo or anything. It's just the digium specific DPMA features that we're having a lot of frustration with. Their nice features I just wish they'd work correctly.

One thing I started noticing, atleast with our system, is that the more phones we place on one subnet, the more issues we start encountering. I don't know if it's because of the traffic that the DPMA modules are creating or what. If we only have around 30 or so phones on the system, everything worked fine (What we had during our initial testing). As we added more phones on, the issues with the DPMA features got worse and worse.

We did have an API breakage early on, relative to voicemail; but we've been pretty stable for a while now in terms of underlying Asterisk version to DPMA version.

wrt logs, it's just the way Asterisk, up through version 11, works. Everything in DPMA rides on top of SIP MESSAGEs, so it *has* to traverse the dialplan, which means you get logs. We hope to address this in the future, but it won't be possible on any current major version of Asterisk.

Switchvox doesn't use DPMA. Fancy phone apps are implemented entirely differently for Asterisk+DPMA vs. Switchvox. Your best avenue for resolution is to contact the Support folks directly via www.digium.com/support
