We support the industry standard BLF and this works with Polycom phones if you use the most recent and up to date Polycom firmware. If you have issues, contact Polycom support, possibly you do not have the latest firmware.

BLF doesn’t work with 650s.

Hi Himanshu,

To barge in you must use the 3CX Assistant. There are rights involved as well as the need to identify the call so its better to use the Windows desktop utility.

Will I be able to upgrade from Version 6.1 directly or do I have to upgrade to 7 first?

Hi,

Where are you based? Do you have E1 or T1? Do you require fax?

I recommend Beronet for E1, Sangoma for T1 or else the Patton gateways which are solid but also a bit more expensive….

I plan to implement 3cx, with PRI line, can you suggest me a PRI card or a gateway to a successful installation.

You need version 8 to do this…. Version 8 supports remote connections of 3CX Assistant

I can’t seem to get the 3CXAssistant to connect to v7.1 phone system externally via tunnel. Does it require v8? Is this documented in release notes somewhere?

Hi,

This release will be upgradaeable.

The Assistant installer works, must be another issue on your machine. Maybe your download was not completed correctly. Please post to our beta forum.

I download 3CXAssistantSetup_80.exe from link above. Then run the executable and get the following error:

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2738.

It appears the installer is broken. Any chance you can fix that too?

Will this release be upgradeable to the final version or will a reinstall be necessary? We have a lot of troubles with v7 on a customer’s site and want to migrate asap.

OK, fixed, sorry about that
