Release Notes for 3Com Asterisk Appliance Release 1.4.0.14.3
You can also copy the Polycom custom configuration (if it exists) and image files from the 3Com
Asterisk Appliance and configure a boot server on your PC. The files are available at:
/var/lib/asterisk/phoneprov/polycom.xml
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phoneprov_configs/custom.cfg
You can then configure the Polycom telephone to use the boot server to acquire the correct
image files rather than use the 3Com Asterisk Appliance. For more information about configuring
Polycom telephones, see the telephone guide that comes with your telephone or the Polycom
web site.
Backing up and Restoring the 3Com Asterisk Appliance
Perform backup and restore procedures during non-business hours to ensure that you do not
affect the availability of the 3Com Asterisk Appliance and to avoid additional load on the system.
3Com recommends that you follow these guidelines during backup and restore procedures:
Ideally, restrict or limit active calls on the 3Com Asterisk Appliance, such as incoming or
outgoing calls, internal calls, or voice mail activity.
Do not interrupt the power supply to the 3Com Asterisk Appliance.
Do not make configuration changes by using the 3Com AsteriskGUI or by directly modifying
configuration files on the 3Com Asterisk Appliance.
Do not change the hardware configuration or attach new devices (such as telephones).
Do not execute commands on the 3Com Asterisk command line interface (CLI) or uClinux
shell.
Guidelines for Using the Bandwidth.com Service Provider
Guideline: To ensure that changes are propagated properly to the extensions.conf file when
you edit existing incoming calling rules to use the Bandwidth service provider, follow these
steps.
Note: Do not edit existing incoming calling rules.
Access the 3Com AsteriskGUI.
1
Create a Bandwidth service provider. Click the Service Providers tab, click Add Service

Provider, and then select Bandwidth (SIP). Save your changes.
In the List of Service Providers page, click the Options drop-down menu next to the

Bandwidth service provider entry and then click Advanced. Note the trunk name, for

Click the Incoming Calls tab. From the Incoming Call Rules page, create a new unmatched
4
incoming calling rule for Bandwidth, which routes all calls to the auto attendant voice menu at
extension 5500.
From the Incoming Call Rule page, create a new matched calling rule for Bandwidth. Specify

a DID (for example, 5551231010) and route that call to the corresponding extension (for
