Callback configuration
When the callback feature is enabled, the user could dial an inbound route number and hang up after hearing the ring back tone or wait to be hung up by the system automatically. Then MyPBX will call the user via the trunk. After the call is get through, the user could dial the number he wants to call. If you would like enable the Callback feature, please configure as below:
- Select ”Internal Settings”->”Callback Settings”, and in the “New Callback” page, enter the number that is allowed to be called back, i.e. Callback Number.(e.g. 15960111111)
- Select “Inbound Call Control”-> “Inbound Routes”, and select “Yes” for “Enable Callback” in the Inbound Route editing page.See Figure 6-1:

It is because of the mismatch of signaling.
Please select
“Trunk”->”Analog Trunk”,
and change the value of “Caller ID Start” and “Caller ID Signaling” in the editing page.
- Please add a new inbound route for this SIP trunk alone and define ““DID number” ” to enable it match all DID numbers (i.e.: define the DID number as “.” which will match any remaining digits).
- If this SIP trunk has several DID numbers and different DID numbers called are supposed to be led to different destinations, please add different inbound routes for each of them. If the problem still exists after the configuration, please select
“Internal Settings”->”SIP Settings”->”Advanced Settings” and change the value of “To Field” to “To” .
- If this SIP trunk has several DID numbers and different DID numbers called are supposed to be led to different destinations, please add different inbound routes for each of them. If the problem still exists after the configuration, please select
Why can I make outbound calls but cannot receive inbound calls through my analog trunk?
In this case, please check if the analog trunk has been selected in Inbound Routes.

Why is the analog trunk always in busy status even when there is no call?
It results from the incorrect configuration of “Busy Detection”. Please log in the Web Configuration Panel and check if the value of “Busy Detection” is “yes” in the Analog Trunk editing page. (The default value is “yes”)
Why the phone screen displays “unknown” instead of Caller ID once the caller calls through the analog trunk?
It might derive from:
- The trunk doesn’t have Caller ID service.
To be able to confirm it, please connect the PSTN line right to the analog phone and call it via cellular phone to check if there is Call ID on the phone. If there is no Caller ID, please contact the service provider. - Wrong settings of “Caller ID Start” and “Caller ID Signaling” if the trunk has Caller ID service.
In cases like this, please change their settings. (Select “Trunk”-> ”Analog trunk”, and select the right type for “Call ID Start “and “Caller ID Signaling” in the editing page)
The extensions fail to make outbound calls or receive inbound calls. The admin logs in the Web Configuration Panel to check the problem, but the screen shows “502 Bad gateway”. After rebooting, everything goes OK, but the above problem repeats again a while later. What’s wrong?
Why do the inbound calls of a certain trunk would be hung up during a specific time period?
It is because that the system has enabled “Business hours” and the destination of “non office hour” has been configured to “End calls” in the inbound routes. Please follow the steps to change the settings:
Why does the callback function fail when pressing the “RD” button on the phone directly (the screen displays “unfound”)?
It’s because that the callee replaces its caller ID with English letters. When the “RD” button is pressed to call back, the phone will call the callee’s “Caller ID” directly. But MyPBX system recognizes the callee only by “Extension number ” rather than “Caller ID”. So the phone screen would displays
Why does the user always hear the prompt that”The number you dialed cannot be reached now, please leave the message after the tone” when calling a specific extension?
The problem might result from one of the following configurations:
- The extension has been set up “always transfer to voicemail”; the user can log in “User Web Interface” and uncheck the “always transfer to voicemail” option.
- The extension or the phone has enabled “DND” function.
- If it is the extension that enables”DND”, then it can be canceled by entering the feature code (the default value is”
Why does the user hear two beep sound first when taking the phone off the hook before hearing the normal dialing tone?
That’s because the extension has new voice-mails. Please dial the feature code
Why can’t the extension make outbound calls (to landline or cell phones)?
How to configure inbound routes?
Inbound Routes are used to determine the destinations of incoming calls of different time (i.e. office hour, non-office hour, and holiday). The steps of configuration are as below:
For more instructions, please refer to MyPBX User Manual.
How to configure outbound routes?
Outbound routes are used to determine the authority or dial pattern for the extensions to make outbound calls to cell phones and land-line phones, or make domestic long-distance calls and IDD calls.
How to connect and configure BRI trunk?
Every BRI module purchased will be supplied with a RJ45-RJ11 cable. (The RJ45 connector is to connect the port offered by BRI provider while the RJ11 part is for the BRI port of MyPBX. See Figure 4-1.)
Steps of configuring BRI trunk:
- Connect BRI trunk as the above instructions and log in the web interface (“Status Monitor”->”Line Status”) to check if the connection is successful. If the connection is successful, then the status will show ”OK”. If not, please select the right type of signaling that the service provider requires in the “Edit BRI trunk” page.
For example: The two numbers of the BRI trunk are 686867 and 686868. Then you can define two inbound routes (see Figure 4-2) to distinguish them.
After the configuration, the incoming calls from BriTrunk9 would reach MyPBX via two routes: BRIin1 (call the number 686867) or BRIin2 (call the number 686868).
How to register a VoIP trunk?
In the configuration page of “Trunks”, click

The default IP address is 192.168.5.150.
Prepaid and Postpaid Service
Prepaid and postpaid modes provide real-time billing and charging for extensions of MyPBX.
Prepaid service: the extension is recharged first, and call fees are deducted from the balance right after the call ends. When the balance reaches the limit credit, the system will automatically limit the extension from dialing out.
Q1. 1 The IP address of user’s PC and that of MyPBX are in different network segment.
For example: In company A, the IP address of the gateway is 192. 168. 1. 1 . The IP address of the user’s PC is 192. 168. 1. 10, subnet mask: 255. 255. 255. 0, gateway: 192. 168. 1. 1. Please note that the default IP address of MyPBX server is 192. 168. 5. 150
In this case, the user would like to change the IP address of MyPBX to 192. 168. 1. 200, which is in the same segment with the company network.
- Connect the LAN port of MyPBX to the Internet service via a cable and then power on MyPBX.
- Change the IP address of PC A to 192. 168. 5. 0 segment.
- Start-> Control Panel-> Network and Internet Connection-> Network Connection-> Local Area Connection, and double click it. (See Figure1-1)
Figure 1-1 - Click “Advanced”, and then click “IP settings”-> ”IP address”-> ”Add” (See Figure 1-2). In the popup window, enter an IP address with a same segment with MyPBX server (e. g.: 192. 168. 5. 61, but please note that this IP address shall not conflict with the IP address on the existing network), see Figure 1-3.
