Level 3 and 3rd party LIDB providers
by david＠ringfree.com Sept. 5, 2017

Sept. 5, 2017

We have a fair amount of LI did's with Level3 and have need of updating LIDB information on some of them. We've steered clear of the Level3 ELS package due to the excess cost instead of using Level3 for origination and 3rd parties for CNAM and 911. However, we've run into a brick wall with LIDB. Level3 states that "They are not able to update point codes to provide compatibility with 3rd party LIDB providers (such as OpenCNAM)." Has anyone else run into this before?

Broadsofts BLF List URI Implementation is Unique?

I asked this question in 2015, so I am wondering if anyone has an update. Is the the way that Broadsoft implements Busy Lamp Field (BLF) using list URI unique only to Broadsoft, or have any other softswitch providers now implemented this method? With a Broadsoft switch and a Polycom or Yealink phone, all that needs to be done on the phones config is to enter the BLF list URI server address. Then on the Broadsoft server you select the users you want to monitor, and the BLF list instantly updates on the phone. I think this reduces overall signaling too which is a big issue with BLF status updates. There is no rebooting or going into the phones configuration file once the BLF List URI is set. For an example on how easy BLF is setup on Yealink phones with Broadsoft see this http://www.yealink.com/Upload/UCOne/features/Quick_Setup_BLF_List_on_Yealin… Compare this to most other platforms I have seen based on Asterisk and Freeswitch. I think 3CX and Metaswitch are the same. In all these platforms, on the phones confige its self, you have to manually create a key on the phone to monitor a user. That might be done through the provisioning interface itself, but it still static adds a BLF line key to the phones configuration. Any updates to BLFs are usually not dynamic, and adding or removing a BLF requires a reboot to the phone as you have to change the config file. Example of this method on a Yealink using a Asterisk based service like Virtual PBX see this https://www.virtualpbx.com/support/dash/topics/t48g-blf/ Anyone have BLF List URI working on a non Broadsoft switch?

Alex, Great to hear Kamailio supports this! Looks like Asterisk does too: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=30278158 Anyone know if Freeswitch supports RFC 4662? I did a Google search now that I know what I am searching for, and found some freeswitch posts from others asking if Freeswitch supports RFC4662. But no one knows if Freeswitch supports RFC 4662? I guess I could post on the freeswitch list.
