    Have changed DID to forward to mobile temporarily which seems to be working.

    This works for me too, so may be a good option till this is cleared up.

    Can anyone supply instructions for this or point us to the wiki entry?

    Edit:
    I realise that there is http://wiki.telecube.com.au/doku.php?id=voip:line-hunt-hunt-group

    But it is not resolving

    Good instructions here:

    http://wiki.telecube.com.au/doku.php?id=voip:line-hunt-hunt-group

    Line hunting (or hunt group) is the method of distributing phone calls from a single telephone number to a group of several phone lines. Specifically, it refers to the process or algorithm used to select which line will receive the call in a sequential manner (e.g. 1st number then to 2nd number, then to 3rd number, and so on). This gives you an option to use not only VOIP extensions but external numbers such as your mobile or standard home service as well.

    This feature allows calls to be forwarded to another line if the first line is unable to pick up the call.

    To add a hunt group, log in to your account. Go to the 'Services' area, click on 'Add New' tab. Select 'LineHunt (Hunt Group)' option.

    Configure its settings:

    Input Label Name. Wait for the system to create the Hunt Group. Then, go to 'Services'. Click on 'Manage' next to the hunt group name.
    Select extensions or numbers to hunt and associate a voicemail if desired.
    Input desired Ring Timeout.

    Possible Sequences:

    Digital Extensions > Mobile Number
    Digital Extension > Mobile Number > Voicemail
    Call Queue > Mobile Number > Voicemail

    Finally you will need to go into "manage" option for your DID and select Line Hunt at "Profile Type" input box.

    Update

    We're moving ahead with DDoS Protection with Micron21, hopefully it should be in place by the end of the day.

    In the meantime we'll keep trying to shuffle traffic around the attacks and you should be able to route incoming calls to mobiles or fixed lines.

    Apologies again to those affected, I expect to have it resolved through the day.

    It did eventually resolve but after the above posts.

  • very_itchy

    Having trouble with outgoing calls as well. Due to Telecube SIP servers giving a false OK registration outgoing calls hang doing nothing for 30+ secs then Telecube servers accept the call and you hear the call ringing but the call never rings the destination at all!
    Phantom ringing now for both incoming and outgoing calls.

    John, I would prefer if your servers rejected registration until the problem is fixed rather than give a false registration that screws up our outgoing call routing and has incoming calls ring out rather than be rejected.

    Understand entirely about this being an issue that is beyond Telecube's control, but it would be great if there was communication of the issues outside of Whirlpool (only just thought to check here after the phone line didn't work).

    Agree 100% � the last place I thought to go looking was Part 4 of the Telecube Whirlpool offer thread.

    The support phone lines are just ringing out, surely there could have been a recorded message explaining the outage and no one was available to answer calls. And what about a 'current service status' page on the Telecube website ? Surely it wouldn't bee hard to get some traffic light style monitoring that customers could refer to when there phones aren't ringing.

    At the very least there should be a seperate 'Telecube outage' or a 'Telecube issues' thread here on Whirlpool rather than throwing all of this banter in a service offer thread.

    In my IVR I am diverting all options to mobile phones, but the mobile phone doesnt receive the call
    it ends up on the mobile phone users voicemail.

    1. the caller hears the phone ringing. so obviosulty the 'network' is not placing the call.

    You may find this is a "whirlpool" issue. Perhaps providers are not allowed to start or have multiple threads.

    For me personally, it was the first place I looked because I always firstly assume that other people are having the same issues and move on from there.

  • Curious_Mind

    Also agree that there needs to be better support communication. Also experienced no answer on support line, no email response on Murray's or the support email address. I have a large customer base on TC and I look like a goose when I have no information or explanation or ETA on the situation and have to trawl Whirlpool for answers! I'm a huge fan/supporter of TC, but managing customer expectations with good communication is definitely something that I would like improved. Agree with a Status page that is kept up to date. Look forward to having the current issues resolved. Keep up the good work John!

    Yes please, like many others, this is costing us money. We really, really do need either an SMS broadcast to mobiles or a goto page for status updates when faults like this occur.

    One of the serious side affects of a small service provider outage is that its a catch 22, their support area gets overloaded with enquiries but its the same people that handle the communications, and in this case the same people are doing the fixing.

    If it was telstra, then sure you can get through to support, who will tell you its broken, and give no details nor an eta, because they dont have any info, and are under instructions not to annoy the higher levels of support, who are busy trying to solve the problem. So despite the ability to speak to someone, you are no better off.

    The best thing we can all do right now, to get this solved quicker, is dont overload them with enquiries, nags and feedback, Save that for later. Also now is not the right time to work on their communication platform.

    I suspect that DDoS is what is causing my FreePBX server to not register. All good; thought it was my fault and was about to open a support ticket.

    Actually, on an unrelated note:

    John, on the Telecube site in Extension Settings, it lists the SIP server as

    sip.telecube.com.au

    In the wiki here, it's

    sip.telecube.net.au

    Which one do we actually use? :)

    When you add an extension in the portal, it defaults to sip.telecube.com.au so it looks that is the one TC would like us to use, although .net should still work also.

    edit: just saw John's post. Looks like it is the other way around. Strange that the portal wants us to use .com.

    Obey The Fist!

    I'm aware there's ongoing issues with Telecube � in Perth, I cannot connect at all to the SIP provider � I get the following error:

    Problem at server (Sip error 408). Try again later.

    Any ETA for a fix? Without being able to connect to the SIP servers at all, I can't make local or international calls, it's a dead line.

  • 2016-May-17, 12:29 pm
    John.M

    Update

    A permanent fix is very close, we've peered up with Micron21 now and as soon as they can take our routes traffic will pass through their scrubbers and we should be back to normal.

    Once we have a resolution there'll be an email sent out to all customers explaining the events and the solution we have implemented.

    Thank you for your patience and apologies again.

    In most ISPs/telcos, the engineering teams have no interaction with the support team � they know things are going wrong by using their own monitoring tools, not by the call centre stats.

    This said, Telecube really do need an outage notification system of some sort.

    Come on, John. You've got a support staff member, don't you? How are they not tasked with sending out email updates? Website status alert? SMS?

    *Staff member asks me if there's any update*

    *I scour a whirlpool offer thread*

    "Oh it'll be back 'in minutes now'"

    *Wait an hour*

    "..."

    *I scour the thread again*

    "Oh I need to update your phones to point to some other IP"

    *nup*

    "Oh that was already out-of-date info"

    My bosses confirmed with me that it isn't April 1st.

    They might register but do inbound/outbound calls actually work?
    No point having registration say OK only to have it screw up your routing priority.

    I've noticed the com.au hostname now points to Rackspace cloud servers. Is that the DDoS protection server?

    Yep, that's why I suggested to John at 10:30am to deny registration if calls can't be made and a few minutes later .com.au registrations stopped being accepted (assume John made the change).
    Before that incoming calls were ringing out without notifying extensions and outgoing calls were hanging then indicating the destination was ringing when it wasn't. I'd rather have registration show as failing than have calls appear to ring out when they haven't rung at all.

    Is it possible to add a mobile to a ring group?
    I think this would allow me to leave a mobile connected and ringing all the time. If there is an outage like this at least I won't miss all the incoming calls

    I have changed my line hunt to ring the mobile, this seems to be a temporary solution to get by until things are sorted
