IP address
Displays the port of the IP address to which a UAD/phone is registered and additionally indicates the transport used (TLS, UDP, TCP, WS or WSS).
NOTE:
If you click an IP address, a new window will open and display the web interface of the phone, if it is enabled.
Status
Displays the network status of the UAD/Phone.
User agent

If the user is on a call, the image of a headset will be displayed, otherwise this field will be empty.
TIP:
Some actions (such as call transfer, hanging up, etc.) can also be performed on active calls.
Search

(For example, select "Online"/"Offline" to see only the online or offline extensions. Select "ALL" to display all extensions).

Select one of the active conversations
(For example, users can listen to one of the active conversations by clicking the checkbox next to the extension, and providing the number of the extension that should listen to the active conversation).
NOTE:
Users can also listen to active conversations by dialing *199 + extension number. Please note that the enhanced service must be enabled in the enhanced services of the extension that monitors the call.
Transfer
Transfer a party from the active conversation to another destination.
(For example, extensions “1000” and “1001” are in a conversation. Select an extension (e.g. ‘1000’) under ‘Channels’ and click this button. Type ‘1005’ in the pop-up window. Extension “1001” will be transferred to extension “1005”.)

By selecting the extension and clicking "Force restart", the phone on which the selected extension is registered will restart.
NOTE:
This does not work for all types of phones. Some phones must be provisioned for this to work.

Settings
Here the user can modify the monitoring settings. The alert system monitors all SIP/IAX peers (Extensions and Trunks) on a PBXware system. If this peer is unreachable, an email notification is sent to the administrator(s).

Monitor SIP peers
The PBXware alerting system needs to know which of its peers should be monitored, and when this option is checked, the system will monitor the SIP extensions.
(For example, click the checkbox to monitor SIP extensions).
Monitor IAX peers
If this option is checked, the system will supervise the IAX extensions.
(For example, click the checkbox to monitor IAX extensions).
Monitor Trunks
When this option is checked, the system will monitor the Trunks.
(For example, check the box to monitor Trunks).
NOTE:
When monitoring Trunks, PBXware will try to dial a test number provided in the Test Number field under the Trunk. If the received signal does not match the 'ANSWER', 'BUSY', 'CANCEL', or 'NO ANSWER' response, the test call is considered non-functional and the alert system sends a notification email. For example, a number that can be used in this case is an automated time service that many telephone service providers offer for free.
Send emails from:
In order to customize the email address from which the notification email will appear to be sent, set the preferred email address in this field. When the administrator receives a warning email, it will appear as having been sent from the email address indicated here.
NOTE:
This email address does not necessarily have to be a valid email account, but if the SMTP server used to send emails from PBXware does not support it, the email will be sent from the email address associated with the account used for registering PBXware on the server. In some cases, the server will not even send emails if the "from:" address is set to a nonexistent value.
Message resend delay [min]:
To prevent PBXware from sending too many notification emails for each unavailable extension, a notification sending delay can be set. Once a notification email is sent and another extension becomes unavailable, the notification about this latter unavailable extension will only be sent after the given delay.
Check cycle (sec):
Sets the number of seconds that elapse between checks
Send warning messages to the following email addresses:
Warning messages can be sent to as many email addresses as needed. To add a new destination, click the "Add" button and enter the email address in the appropriate field.
NOTE:
Once all the steps are completed, users must restart PBXware.
