Turning multicast on and off - Raffles - 05-22-2015 11:36 PM

Hi,

I have multicast paging setup on a T28P and it receives the multicast page fine.

Trouble is, I need to be able to start/stop the handset listening for multicast paging on the fly (I don't want it to get every multicast page I make).

Is this possible or is it a case of "once it's listening - it's listening!"?

cheers
Andy

Hi Andy,

There is no a good way to achieve this. If you really need it, XML Browser can be used.

You need to set two DSSKey to XML Browser type.
One DSSKey is to fill the listening address value.
The other DSSKey is to delte the listening address value.
Then you can switch on/off it quickly.

Switch on XML file sample, this XML file will configure a multicast paging address so that phone can receive multicast paging.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<YealinkIPPhoneConfiguration
Beep="yes" >
<!--Account-->
<Item>multicast.listen_address.1.ip_address =224.100.100.100:10000</Item>

</YealinkIPPhoneConfiguration>

Switch Off XML file sample, this XML file will delte the multicast paging address so that phone won't receive multicast paging.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<YealinkIPPhoneConfiguration
Beep="yes" >
<!--Account-->
<Item>multicast.listen_address.1.ip_address =%NULL%</Item>

</YealinkIPPhoneConfiguration>


Regards,
James

this is good... but it would be nice to have just 1 button to do this instead of 2 - kind of the like DND on/off is one button...
