Frequently Asked Questions

Our support team does not accept direct calls. All communication is done via our support portal. This ensures that each customer is assisted in accordance to our SLAs. You may also check out our forum where many queries are already answered.

Our team will ask you to open a ticket in the Support Portal. If you already have a ticket, we will offer to write a comment on the ticket for you. This will then be shared with the support agent assigned to the ticket, as well as yourself so that you can keep it for your records.

Our support team is not available on the phone. If you need urgent assistance, you can schedule an On-demand Support appointment at: https://www.call4tel.com/support/one-time-support-package/. This costs USD 100.

Try the power cycle. If the device is not accessible via SSH due to an error in the firewall settings, directly connect the device to a monitor and keyboard and run this command “sudo call4telreset”. The Call4tel portal config will reset everything. 

The default port is 5448 TCP. You can access this URL: http://IPaddress:5448. If you have a public IP for this device, you can access http://publicip:5448 

WAN interface is the default one. So, if you need to send traffic via LAN you need to write the static route via the portal.  Login to portal àSIP connect->Static RouteàAllowàLANà Enter the destination 

Connect a monitor to the device using an HDMI cable. Once connected press “Alt + F3“ to view the login screen. Use default login details (user: admin password: Call4te1@@123) and then you can run the commands you wish.  

Login to your Call4tel portal and navigate to settings. Click “debian/3CX-V18 update” or  
you can run “call4teldebianupdate.sh“ to update 3CX & Debian. This process will take 15-20 mins and once completed the device will be rebooted. 

Connect the device via SSH and run below commands: 
“ cd /usr/share/lighttpd 
sudo ln -s create-mime.conf.pl create-mime.assign.pl 
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd stop 
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd start 
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www ” 

Sometime apt-lock does not allow you to upgrade the 3CX version so it freezes half way. You need to make sure Debian is updated to Debian 10. To check your Debian version, connect your device via SSH and run these commands:  
“cat /etc/debian_version”  if Debian is up to date run command  
“sudo dpkg –configure -a”  
at this point the apt lock is released and you then run command: 
“call4teldebianupdate.sh” to update 3CX.  

The device may get rebooted because 3CX is not able to check the latest update due to apt-lock. Login via SSH access or via monitor and run command “sudo dpkg -configure -a” and reboot the device. 

Make sure your Call4tel firmware version is up to date. Once updated you can upgrade your 3CX version via the management console upgrade option within 3CX. The process will take a minimum of 20 minutes depending on backup size.  

Yes, you can edit the SBC configuration whenever you need. Go to settings and click on “SBC Config Update” then fill in the SBC edit form with the data and submit.  

Unplug the network cable and wait for 5 mins. Once the device reboot stops then you can connect the network cable and try to access the device. Run commands “ sudo dpkg -configure -a” to fix the issue.  

To enable cloud access login your Call4tel portal and navigate to settings. Here you will see the option to “Enable cloud”.  
Note: the device will reboot when you enable cloud access 

The Call4tel device comes with WAN as the default network interface. You can choose LAN as the default interface from the settings page. 
 

Once the USB storage device is connected run the below command via SSH or directly connect a keyboard & monitor to the device.

If a monitor is connected use an HDMI cable to connect to the Call4tel device:
1. Press Alt+F3 and you will be taken to the login screen.
2. Use login admin/Call4te1@@123 to access the device.
3. Run command “sudo call4telusbrecording”. Once the command has run your storage device will be formatted and mounted with recording path: /var/lib/3cxpbx/Instance1/Data/Recordings
4. To check mount status run command “sudo lsblk”. You will see the storage device mounted with: /var/lib/3cxpbx/Instance1/Data/Recordings

If you are using SSH access:
1. Use SSH port 998 to connect
2. Login using admin/Call4te1@@123
3. Run command “sudo call4telusbrecording”. Once the command has run, your storage device will be formatted and mounted with recording path: /var/lib/3cxpbx/Instance1/Data/Recordings
4. To check mount status run the command “sudo lsblk”. You will see the storage device mounted with: /var/lib/3cxpbx/Instance1/Data/Recordings

Notes:
– There is no limit on external HDD but the storage device must support it.
– This process is only for call recording devices. For back up you need to store on a local device.
