PXE Booting in Linux
I was reading slashdot today and found this article: http://blog.ksplice.com/2010/05/scalable-day-to-day-diskless-booting/
I remember having tried to do this in the past with an openfiler installation and an atom box, I ended up getting frustrated and moving on but this sheds a lot more light on how the process works and how to get it working. It’s kind of a dream of mine to be able to network boot a diagnostic distribution of Linux without having to worry about the HDD at all.
How to Convert an Avast Pro 4.8 Key into a Avast 5.0 Key
After much searching I have found the answer. You can convert an Avast 4.8 Professional Edition Key to an Avast Profession Edition 5.0 key here: http://www.avast.com/resend-license.php
Configure TFTP Option 66 and Option 150 with dhcpd
Here is a copy of the top portion of my /etc/dhcpd.conf file. Using this configuration you should be able to setup any TFTP bootable device to look to your TFTP server for configuration files. For example Cisco 79xx series phones, or SPA5xx series phones.
Cisco SmartNET Contract for Cisco 7940, 7941, 7960, 7961, 7970, 7971
We now provide expedited SmartNET agreements for all Cisco Devices! Your quoted price will be for the Basic One-Year SmartNET agreement unless you specify a different service level in the notes section. All payments are processed via Google Checkout which means we never see your credit card information. If you have had problems in the past with your device having an “invalid serial number” according to cisco use this form here. These agreements are necessary to obtain the firmware for Cisco 79xx series phones.
You’re information will not be reused or sold. All personal information and device information will be kept strictly confidential.
When we say all fields are required, we mean it, Cisco needs them all.

Prolific PL-2303 driver Device Cannot Start Windows Vista 64bit and Windows 7
I’ve had this problem a couple times and the solution seems to be slightly different each time. The problem presents itself as a Device in Device Manager showing “”The Device Cannot Start (Code 10)” after you’ve installed the Prolific PL-2303 Drivers from the Prolific website. Which are available here: http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31
The solution is to use a similar driver set floating around on the internet here: http://www.usglobalsat.com/download/546/win_drivers.zip
Unzip the file and install the executable within. That fix solved the problem for me instantly. To make sure that the new driver take priority over the other one in Windows 7 right click on the device and go to Unistall and check “Delete the driver software for this device”. I found this solution on the microsoft social forums here.
Howto BLF (Busy Lamp Field), SLA (Shared Line Appearance), on the Linksys SPA942, SPA962 and Cisco SPA525G
I’m sure by now you’ve read a few articles saying that you CANNOT do BLF on the SPA942, SPA962 or SPA525G, this is in fact false. BLF works JUST fine on these phones. In fact I have a wall behind me with all three models connected together with Asterisk (elastix) merrily reading each others line states. The red lights are extensions demonstrate extensions in use.
For those of you who do not know what BLF is. BLF or Busy Lamp Field allows you to see which extensions are currently on the phone, or being called. It also allows you to pickup a ringing phone for someone else.
By placing these same configuration details into the SPA932 screen you could also use these instructions to programme a Linksys SPA932 Sidecar.

I’m sure by now you’re jealous of all my little red lights blinking away. Well, fortunately for you the next part of this guide is how you can do it on your own phones. I’m going to break this down into four sections: Configuration in common to all three models, and then three separate sections for configuration elements unique to each phone.
Before Using this Guide Make sure you have the Latest Firmware from Linksys / Cisco
This is NECESSARY
General:
First things first, here is what is more or less common to every model. To do anything you need to log into the phone. To do this you need to get the IP Address of the phone. You can either get it from your endpoint manager or by hitting the settings button, then pressing 9.
Once you’re logged into the phone, we need to log in and switched to advanced.

On the right hand side you’ll see “Admin Login”, once you’ve done that and it’s switched to “User Login”. Go ahead and hit “Advanced”. Do it in that order else it’ll go ahead and switch back to basic mode and you won’t see the options we need. The SPA525G has a slightly differently looking screen but it’s phrased identically.
Next we’re going to setup the actual BLF and shortcut lines. This step is identical on all the phones so we’ll do it first.

Click on the “Phone Tab” on the menu bar up top. Double check that you’re in Advanced Mode and you should see the Line Keys. I typically leave Line Key 1 configured as a normal extension. This means that the phone will be able to handle two simultaneous calls. If you need four simultaneous calls assign Line Key 2 as well to Extension 1.
For the lines that will require BLF Switch the Extension to Disabled, switch the Share Call Appearance to shared. Enter a short name for the line, this is the name that will show up on the button on the screen.
Once you have that you’ll need to enter the following into the extended function section:
fnc=blf+sd+cp;sub=EXT#@ASTERISKIP;nme=SHORTNAMEHERE
Replace EXT# with the Extension number of the phone you would like to monitor, ASTERISKIP with the IP of the Asterisk server that both phones are connected to and SHORTNAMEHERE with the shortname entered above.
You may fill out as many lines as necessary using this same command. The same syntax is used on the SPA942, SPA962 and SPA525G.
There is one additional step necessary to get BLF working. You must now tell the phone that you want it to use Asterisk style BLF.
Save your settings and move on to the next phone-specific section.
SPA942 Specific Instructions:
While you’re on the Phone Tab, You need to scroll down directly below the last Line Key (should be Line Key 4). You’ll see Line Key Extended Function.

Here you must switch the Server Type: to Asterisk, and changed the SPA932 Call Pickup Code to *8 to match the Asterisk call pickup code.
That’s it, save your settings and you’re done.
SPA962 Specific Instructions:
On the SPA962 the setting is located under the SPA932 tab (that’s the model name of the sidecar for the SPA962 and SPA525G).

Once you’ve clicked on the SPA932 tab you should get this:

If you don’t see this, make sure you’re in advanced mode and logged in as admin (Admin Login button). If you do see this, switch Server Type to Asterisk and SPA932 Call Pickup Code to *8.
Save you’re settings and you’re done!
SPA525G Specific Instructions:
On the SPA962 the setting is located under the Att Console tab (this tab is intended to work with the SPA932 which is the Sidecar for the SPA962 and SPA525G).

If you don’t see this, make sure you’re logged in as admin and in advanced mode. Once you see the below dialog we’re ready to change a couple settings for Asterisk:

Switch the Server Type: to Asterisk and change the Attendant Console Call Pickup Code to *8.
Save your settings and you’re done.
