Thanks Kai-Uwe and everyone else. I have seen all those examples and I am exploring the sip_notify.conf file now which makes things more clear to me.<div><br></div><div>However, when sending a SIP notify to a phone that is not registered to Asterisk via it's IP address should I expect to receive a success of fail packet back or that is not how SIP Notify works?</div>
<div><br></div><div><b>sip notify aastra-check-cfg 192.168.0.5</b></div><div><b>Sending NOTIFY of type 'aastra-check-cfg' to '192.168.0.5'</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>That is all I see and the phone is not restarted. There might be a few things different about Aastra phones to get them accept SIP Notifies and I would like to hear your experience about it and what features and notifies are available to me as it pretains particulary to Aastra phones.</div>
<div><br></div><div>P.S. Are these SIP notifies anything different than simple HTTP get or XML push and receive or do they require a sip stack or a program like Asterisk and it's much more complicated than I think? I want to get a simple page where some phone controls can be done without relying on a heavy program like Asterisk but again if it get's too complicated I won't mind using Asterisk for this purpose. Just want to know my options.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks again,</div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 27, 2010 at 1:59 PM, Kai-Uwe Jensen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kujensen@gmail.com">kujensen@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
Lots of good info and pointers so far. But do keep in mind that not all phones will automatically reboot just because you sent it a "check-sync" or "resync" event with the "sip notify" command.<br>
<br>I vaguely remember that for e.g. the Polycoms some other condition had to be true: either the phone's config file on the ftp/tftp server had to have a newer time-stamp than the one that was downloaded during the phone's last boot, or a config option had to be set to a non-default value to make the phone reboot unconditionally upon receiving the SIP notify, regardless of the config file's modification date.<br>
