Just picked up a box of v66 Pro units for an upcoming project and just realized there is not a 3CX template in the system yet. I know, my bad for not checking. I have it connected and working as a v65, but just curious when we can expect to see the V66 listed in the drop-down?

Same here. Any updates?
 
Oops. I just did the same. Count me in!
 
@JohnS_3CX @Fanvil Technical Support - I saw a bunch of other Fanvil's added with the most recent update, are there any plans to add the V66 Pro, we are getting a lot of demand for these but don't want to sell them until they can be easily provisioned.
 
Hi Boldtech, when you configured the V66 as a V65, was there any limitations?

It auto provisions okay using the V65 template even working as an SBC phone however once connected you can’t reprovision the phone at all so annoying for updating blf etc. it also doesn’t appear to want to accept any blf keys except for the first 10, the V66 has 4 pages of 27ish keys but none of them want to work using the V65 template.

I have discussed this matter with our product manager. Currently, it is under testing. Although there is no exact time yet, I believe you will be able to see this model on 3CX soon.
 
+1 we have deployed around 11 out in the wild for testing. We have another op with 100 handsets that would love to use the Fanvil
but they won't pull the trigger until they know the phone is fully supported.

We currently programmed is V66 with the 65 template, apart from only the first 9 BLF working. Attendend transfer is also not working when using the BLF keys even when enabled from 3CX end.

has there been any more updates from 3cx or Fanvil about this?
 
Let me add my "Plus+1".

I have an order for a 25-seat system using the Fanvil V66 Pro phones. I can't place the order until there exists a 3CX template for that specific phone. The Fanvil V66 Pro is already a popular phone among other vendors and it's only going to become more so. I'm certain that phone will be replacing quite a few older products.

I think it would be well worth the time and expense for 3CX to develop a template to support what is already a very popular phone. And I hate to lose this opportunity to another vendor...
 
I've spent about six hours now experimenting with the V66 Pro and didn't have much trouble making it work with 3CX. I was also able to get around the function key limitations. I've tested thoroughly and it looks like everything is working as expected.

On 3CX, I generated a configuration using the V65 template and sent that to a factory-defaulted V66 Pro. Afterwards, I logged into the phone's web UI and downloaded the phone's configuration. The configuration is a single XML file - which is what the 3CX template generates to provision the phone.

The 3CX template for the V65 does not store the function key definitions in the correct place for the V66 Pro, which is why it's limited to nine keys when using the V65 template. So I manually edited the function keys section of the configuration and moved the definitions where they need to go for the V66 Pro. It is a very simple change. The function keys are working as they should and I learned a lot in the process. I am only using 29 function keys for this test, but it's possible to define all 127.

There does not appear to be any easy way to store the edited configuration in 3CX, so there is also no way to send the edited configuration to the phone using 3CX. But the phone's web UI makes it very easy to import the file directly to the phone. And the file is saved to non-volatile storage and so survives phone restarts. Since 3CX can't send subsequent configurations to the phone anyway, there's little or no chance of 3CX overwriting the custom config file saved to the phone.

Again, the only changes I made were to the function key definitions section of the configuration file. Everything else remains "3CX stock" generated directly from the 3CX V65 template.

Any updates from 3CX on this? I have looked at the changelogs and I don't see the V66 Pro nor the V62 Pro being added yet, unless I overlooked it. If not, does anyone have a suggestion on a compatible phone with a bluetooth handset?
 
Fanvil confirmed with me yesterday that V62 Pro & V66 Pro have been pushed back to Update 7 :-(

Thanks for this. I provisioned my V66Pro using the V65 url and exported the XML. I've located the current function keys which start after <dssSide index="1"> - where should they be in the file? Any help is much appreciated!
 
+1 we need it too
 
Any updates on this?
 
Fanvil told me recently that they believe it's been approved and is due for release with the next update @Fanvil Technical Support is that still the case?
