Introduction

By default, you cannot monitor the PSTN trunk status of Yeastar TA gateway. This article introduces how to edit configuration file via SSH to achieve monitoring PSTN trunk status.

This article is tested on:

• Yeastar TA810 version 41.19.0.23
• Yealink T27P version 45.81.0.20

1 Edit Configuration File via SSH

Step 1. Login TA web user interface, navigate to System > Network Preference > Service, Enable SSH.

Step 2. Log in Yeastar TA gateway via SSH using Putty software.

• Username: root
• Password: ys123456

Step3. Execute the following command to create a custom configuration file “extensions_custom.conf”:

vi /persistent/custom-cfg/extensions_custom.conf

Step 4. Press “i” on your keyboard to switch to Insert mode, type the following sentences:

[hintcontext]
include = park-hints
include = trunks-hintcontext
include = extensions-hintcontext
[trunks-hintcontext]
exten = pstn1,hint,DAHDI/1
exten = pstn2,hint,DAHDI/2
exten = pstn3,hint,DAHDI/3
exten = pstn4,hint,DAHDI/4
exten = pstn5,hint,DAHDI/5
exten = pstn6,hint,DAHDI/6
exten = pstn7,hint,DAHDI/7
exten = pstn8,hint,DAHDI/8
[blf-fxo-match]
exten = pstn1,1,Goto(fxo-pstn1-match,${CONTEXT:13},1)
exten = pstn2,1,Goto(fxo-pstn2-match,${CONTEXT:13},1)
exten = pstn3,1,Goto(fxo-pstn3-match,${CONTEXT:13},1)
exten = pstn4,1,Goto(fxo-pstn4-match,${CONTEXT:13},1)
exten = pstn5,1,Goto(fxo-pstn5-match,${CONTEXT:13},1)
exten = pstn6,1,Goto(fxo-pstn6-match,${CONTEXT:13},1)
exten = pstn7,1,Goto(fxo-pstn7-match,${CONTEXT:13},1)
exten = pstn8,1,Goto(fxo-pstn8-match,${CONTEXT:13},1)

Step 5. Type “wq” and press “Enter” key to save and quit the configuration file.

 

Step 6. Execute the two commands to make the custom configuration take effect.

mypbxconf
asterisk -rx 'module reload'

2. Set a BLF Key on IP Phone to Monitor PSTN Trunk Status

Step 1. On the TA gateway web user interface, naviagte to Gateway > VoIP Settings > VoIP Trunk, add a new VoIP trunk, set the trunk type as “Account”.
