Can't subscribe to Call Parking BLF lamps

Hello fellow voip enthusiasts,

I’m trying to subscribe to my voip.ms Call Parking BLF lamps from my Polycom VVX411 phones, but I keep getting SIP 404 Not Found response.

Example response and request:

Polycom phone config:

attendant.resourceList.71.label="Parking Slot 1"
attendant.resourceList.71.address="P701_2565"
attendant.resourceList.71.type="automata"

This all works PERFECTLY on my own FreePBX parking lots, but not with voip.ms.

What am I doing wrong with Voip.ms?

Thanks!

Hello BigVoIP

We recently replied back to your ticket, please verify

Hello @William , thank you for replying. Yes, it appears that BLF hadn’t been fully enabled on my account the first time around. Support team has fully enabled BLF for extensions and parking slots now.

How did you know it wasnt “Fully” enabled? Ive been struggling, i sent in a chat and the enabled BLF again…but it was already enabled. :person_shrugging:

Hi @KelownaVoip , I’d love to help, but it’s difficult without more context. What specific phone hardware or softphone are you trying to use BLF on? Have you used Wireshark to inspect the SIP requests and responses from your device? Because BLF configuration is complex and differs for every manufacturer, voip.ms probably can’t do much to help you. A packet trace showing those SIP 404 responses to a valid BLF subscription request (see in my post above, you can use Wireshark to make these) will prove if it’s not yet fully enabled on your account.
