Call Groups
Check registration status of Call group members during call distribution
Note: The feature is disabled by default in WMS 4.
The feature is enabled by default and it prevents unavailable Call group members (means no registered devices or no push for mobile apps) from receiving calls from a queue. The logic is applied only for Call group calls!
To disable it:
Edit the file /etc/callweaver/sip-general-custom.conf by adding the parameter:
send_regevent_devstate = no
Available values: no – the feature is disabled; yes – the feature is enabled.
Reload SIP by running the command:
callweaver -rx 'sip reload'
Allow overriding of Global Call groups settings
The option allows overriding of Global Call groups settings (see the chapter below) and saving custom parameters after each system upgrade.
To override Global Call group settings, you need to edit queues-general-custom.conf which is included in file queues.conf.
- Add a custom parameter, for example: autofill = yes (by default, the file queues.conf contains autofill = no parameter)
Global Call groups settings
Global Call group settings are defined and configured in [general] section of the configuration file queues.conf (the path to the file: /rw2/etc/callweaver/queues.conf).
[general] section
The section contains global settings that are applied to all Call groups.
- persistentmembers = yes
With persistentmembers enabled, all dynamically added Call group members (via Feature code "Call group management" 97, WebAPI "Call group login" and Contact center feature in Collaboration) are stored in their Call groups and therefore saved after the system restart.
- autofill = no
With autofill disabled, a Call group attempts to deliver calls to members in a serial manner. This means only one call is attempted to be distributed to members at a time. Additional callers are not distributed to members until that caller is connected to a member. With autofill enabled, callers are distributed to available agents simultaneously. The parameter allows you to more efficiently distribute calls between Call group members, especially if there are several callers in a queue and several members can accept a call.

Collaboration
Disable file transfer in Collaboration chat messages
The support starts from WMS 5.03.
This feature blocks the possibility of transferring files in Collaboration chat messages for all PBX users.
To disable file transfer, edit the file /rw2/etc/env.custom.ini by adding the following line:
COLLABORATION_FILE_TRANSFER_ALLOW=false
Disable Chat and Post-It functionality in Collaboration
The support starts from WMS 5.03.
This feature disables access to Chat and Post-It functionality throughout Collaboration. It removes the Chat tab and disables Chat and Post-It options in Colleagues, Fn keys, History tabs, as well as in Search and via Add button. With disabled chats, users also don't receive Kite chat requests.
To disable Chat and Post-It, edit the config file /rw2/etc/env.custom.ini by adding the following line:
COLLABORATION_CHAT_ALLOW=false
Use case: This feature is useful for teams4Wildix integration, as long as Microsoft Teams offers its own chat. Disabling chat functionality in Collaboration helps users to avoid confusion between these two systems and use one chat instead of two.
Enable Call Control mode for the second opened Collaboration tab
The support starts from WMS 5.03.
By default, only 1 active Collaboration session is permitted. However, there is an option to allow the second Collaboration tab – in Call Control mode. This can be used, for example, for media devices when connecting via remote desktop. The option is particularly practical for teams4Wildix integration.
To activate this feature, add the following line to the file /rw2/etc/env.custom.ini:
CALL_CONTROL_FEATURE=true
Once the feature is activated, an additional option appears on the Collaboration login window – Call Control only. Tick this checkbox off to log into Collaboration in Call Control mode.
Use case: User can set "Call control only" mode to be automatically enabled by adding a parameter in the URI (useful when it is needed to share the link among all employees or bookmark the page)
How-to: add ?sip=no to PBX domain name -> https://pbxname.wildixin.com/collaboration/?sip=no
Change the default Departments tree separator
Starting from WMS Beta 5.04.20220304.2, the Colleagues tab in Collaboration shows only the list of Departments and there is possibility to create a multilevel hierarchy of Departments and display them in a tree view.
When indicating the Department path in WMS -> Users -> Edit User -> Department field, the default separator "/" should be used. For example:
Department: UK/ Marketing
To change the default separator to another character ("\" or "|"), edit the following parameter in the /rw2/etc/env.custom.ini:
DEPARTMENTS_TREE_SEPARATOR=\
Documentation: How to configure Departments tree
Display all PBX users on the Colleagues tab
By default, only people added to roster are shown on the Colleagues tab. To display all users registered on the PBX, add the following line to the /rw2/etc/env.custom.ini file:
COLLABORATION_SHOW_ALL_COLLEAGUES=true
Current limitation:
The status of users that are not added to the roster is not displayed.
Devices
Modify devices sync
Important: By default, the sync is enabled. It is necessary to disable it in case of FAILOVER scenario on Failover PBXs!
To disable the sync:
Add the following parameters to the config file /rw2/etc/pbx/device_sync.conf
disable_sync_portal=1 disable_sync_manual=1
Available values: 1 – sync is disabled; 0 – sync is enabled.
Modify g729 transcoding for web phone calls to trunks which do not support g711
Important:
- It’s not recommended to enable this feature as it reduces call quality and generates useless load on CPU!
- It must be enabled only if the operator doesn’t support g711a/u for some calls
- It can generate CPU overload and problems if too many calls use it; in this case it is recommended to use another operator which supports all the needed codecs ( g711a / g711u / g729)
Note: Feature is supported only on PBXs with modern CPU or Cloud.
To enable g729 transcoding:
Edit the file /etc/callweaver/sip-general-custom.conf by adding the parameter:
g729_transcoding=yes
Available values: no – the feature is disabled; yes – the feature is enabled.
Run the command:
callweaver -rx "sip reload"
Modify HD codecs on PBX
Supported devices:
- Collaboration
- Android / iOS apps
- WorkForce / WelcomeConsole / WP480 r3 / WP490 r3
The feature also works for PBXs in WMS Network.
The feature is enabled by default. To disable it:
Edit the file /etc/callweaver/sip-general-custom.conf by adding the following parameters:
disallow=all allow=alaw:20,ulaw:20,g729:20,vp8,h264,h263,h263p
Run the command:
callweaver -rx "sip reload"
Manage wideband codecs usage
Starting from WMS Beta 5.04.20220225.2, there is custom provisioning parameter WideNarrowbandUse, which allows to manage wideband codecs usage. By default, the parameter is disabled and wideband codecs are forced for all devices. When the parameter is enabled (WideNarrowbandUse=yes), the previous behaviour remains: all devices use wideband codec priority or narrowband codec priority and remote codecs priority or local codecs.
In case of WideNarrowbandUse=yes, you need to add relevant lines to /etc/callweaver/sip-wideband.conf to set the parameters
To Enable wideband codec usage for all networks:
forcewideband=yes disableautowideband=yes
To Enable wideband codec usage in LAN:
forcewideband=no disableautowideband=no
To set Networks where force usage of wideband codecs (i.e. for network 10.100.6.0/16):
forcewideband=no disableautowideband=yes wideband=10.100.6.0/16
Modify presence status monitoring via BLF keys
Detailed information about the feature: Presence status monitoring.
The feature is enabled by default. To disable it:
Edit the file /etc/callweaver/sip-general-custom.conf by adding the following parameter:
full_presence=no
Available values: no – the feature is disabled; yes – the feature is enabled.
Run the command:
callweaver -rx "sip reload"
Modify the behaviour of Colleague BLF keys if a colleague is a Call group member
The feature is disabled by default . There are two options for its configuration:
1. Disable updates for "ringing" status for "Call All 10" strategy. To enable such behavior:
Edit the file /etc/callweaver/sip-general-custom.conf by adding the following parameter:
send_cg_member_ring_notify=yes
Available values: no - the feature is disabled; yes - the feature is enabled.
Run the command:
callweaver -rx "sip reload"
Once it is enabled, Colleague BLF keys do not switch to an active state for incoming calls to Call Group before call answer (only Call group BLF turns on).
2. (available in WMS 5.02) Disable updates for all early statuses including "ringing", "check who is calling", "cancelled" etc for "Call All 10/32" strategies (check the separate Article regarding the feature). To enable the behaviour:
Edit the file /etc/kamailio/cfg.d/host_specific_custom.cfg by adding the parameter:
Available values: 0 - the feature is disabled; 1- the feature is enabled.
Restart kamailio service:
/etc/init.d/kamailio restart
Edit the file /etc/callweaver/sip-general-custom.conf by adding the parameter:
skip_cg_members_presence_on_wp=yes
Available values: no - the feature is disabled; yes - the feature is enabled.
Restart callweaver service:
callweaver -rx "sip reload"
If the feature is enabled, the default devices mask is:
modparam("pv", "varset", "device_presence_skip_event_dialog=s:(Wildix WP490GR[3|4])")
It can be changed in the config file /etc/kamailio/cfg.d/host_specific_custom.cfg.
Modify direct SDES-SRTP
Supported devices:
- WorkForce / WelcomeConsole / WP480G r3/ WP490G r3/ Start (ex WP410)
- BPI / PRI Media gateways
- FXS Media gateways
Note: The feature is disabled by default in WMS 4.
The feature is enabled by default. To disable it:
Edit the file /etc/kamailio/cfg.d/host_specific_custom.cfg by adding the following parameters:
modparam("pv", "varset", "device_caps_sdes_srtp=s:(Wildix WP4[8|9]0GR[3|4])|(Wildix .*BRI)|(Wildix Wildix W0[1-2]PRI)|(Wildix W0[2|4]FXSR3)|(Wildix Wildix 3000)|(Wildix WP410R2)") modparam("pv", "varset", "sdes_srtp=i:0")
Available values: "sdes_srtp=i:0" - to disable and "sdes_srtp=i:1" - to enable.
Run the command:
/etc/init.d/kamailio restart
(only for BRI/ PRI mgw) Add a custom provisioning parameter SRTPForceUse to [wildixgw] section of the file /rw2/etc/provision.conf
- Send the new configuration to devices via Configure / Sync device option in WMS -> Devices
During ongoing calls, a lock on a phone's screen indicates that Direct SDES-SRTP is established.
Select a specific GSM gateway
The option allows setting a specific GSM gateway for SMS sending for each separate user:
Edit the config file /etc/wildix/smsd-route.conf by specifying user extension and MAC address of GSM gateway, for example:
101,9c7533014b00 102,9c7533014b00 103,9c7533014b00 104,9c7533014b01
Modify geolocation sharing on PBX
The support starts from WMS 5.02.
Specifically this option can be used to block geolocation on Vision/ SuperVision phones since the ACL "Can/cannot - View geolocation via Collaboration - Group" can't be applied.
To block geolocation sharing:
Edit the file /rw2/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd_mod_wildix_presence.yml by changing the following parameter to false:
allow_location: false
Available values: true - location is allowed, false - location is blocked.
Restart the server:
/etc/init.d/ejabberd restart
Notes:
- Users in Collaboration can still view their own statuses
- If geolocation is blocked only on PBX A and not blocked on PBX B in WMS Network, users from PBX A are still able to view geolocation of PBX B users
Dialplan
Exit code 0 from voicemail
Support for exit code 0 from voicemail allowing caller to speak with an operator was added.
How to use:
- Add the letter ‘o’ as called number to the Dialplan context (that is where the “0” key sends the caller)
How to enable:
- Add the parameter operator=yes to the file voicemail.conf. It allows sender to hit 0 before/ after/ during leaving a voicemail to reach an operator
Use online streaming of mp3 http/ https sources as music on hold
The support starts from WMS 5.02.
The feature is disabled by default. When enabled, it allows setting online streaming of mp3 http/ https sources as music on hold.
To enable:
Add the following parameters to the file /rw2/etc/callweaver/musiconhold-stream.conf:
[radio] mode=custom application=/usr/sbin/cw_play_http_stream.sh http://stream.104.6rtl.com/rtl-live/mp3-192
where http://stream.104.6rtl.com/rtl-live/mp3-192 is your stream source.
Run the command:
callweaver -rx "moh reload"
Add Dialplan application Set -> Music on hold -> radio
Note: Starting from WMS Beta 5.04.20220117, in case you have several streams, modify the parameter [radio] to [radio1], [radio2], etc. in the config file and choose the corresponding option ("radio1", "radio2") when setting music on hold in the Dialplan.
x-caracal
Change time range limit for reports
Starting from WMS 5.04, depending on the PBX load, some limits of allowed days range apply when generating x-caracal reports. Learn more in x-caracal documentation.
To set custom limit (for example 50 days), add the following parameter to /var/www/x-caracal/.env file:
MAX_ALLOWED_DAY_RANGE=50
Integrations

Integrate custom HTML code by using Google Tag Manager
The feature is available only for Cloud PBXs!
Supported services:
- Collaboration (starting from WMS 5.02)
- x-caracal (starting from WMS 5.03)
Google Tag Manager allows integrating custom HTML code into Collaboration and x-caracal. To integrate the code, take the following steps
Create a new config file template.conf including GTM ID in the file /rw2/etc/pbx/, for example, use the command:
echo 'gtm=GTM-12345678' > template.conf
where 123445678 is Google Tag Manager ID.
After implementation, the following sections appear in the code:
after the <HEAD> section:
<!-- Google Tag Manager --> <script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src= 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f); })(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-XXXX');</script> <!-- End Google Tag Manager -->

Feelingstream
Wildix supports integration with the Feelingstream platform for voice recognition and call recordings in stereo format. Feelingstream allows to conduct STT analysis of stereo recordings received from Wildix PBX.
Requirements:
- Activated Feelingstream account
- Quality of call recordings set to WAV (you can do this in WMS -> Dialplan -> General Settings)
- For HW/ VM: mounted storage for recordings
To enable the integration, create the config file /etc/feelingstream.conf with the following parameters:
host=wildix.feelingstream.com apikey=fcd4206d-aaab-56cb-bdc8-a33dc4611a4b_ab30ac63-1234-1234-1234-123456789012 bucket=call lang=en
Where:
- host – received from Feelingstream side
- apikey – generated using Feelingstream web interface
- bucket – created manually using Feelingstream web interface or API
- lang – optional parameter for setting the language for recognition. If not indicated, the language is set automatically.
To enable stereo mode on the PBX side and improve the quality of recognition, go to WMS -> Dialplan -> General Settings -> Set dialplan variables and add the following Global Dialplan variable: STEREO_RECORDINGS=yes.
Note: Stereo recordings can be activated and used separately on any PBX, without Feelingstream integration, consult the documentation Custom Global Dialplan Variables List.
Fax Server
Adjust the resolution of outgoing faxes
Note: The default resolution is 204x196 (fine).
To adjust the resolution:
- Edit the config file /rw2/etc/faxglobal.conf by specifying the desired horizontal and vertical resolution of the image in pixels per inch. For example:
XResolution=204 YResolution=391
Other widespread resolutions: 204x98, 204x391, 408x391.
Disable Error Correction Mode (ECM)

Kite
Enable Direct RTP between Kite and Web phone
The support starts from WMS 5.01.
Full ICE support for Kite and WebRTC phone:
- endpoints in the same network - media goes directly
- endpoints in different networks and open/ moderate NAT - STUN is used to find the best pair of candidates
- endpoints in different networks, strict NAT - media goes through TURN (on PBX)
The feature is disabled by default. To enable it:
Add the following line to the file /rw2/etc/kamailio/host_specific_custom.cfg:
modparam("pv", "varset", "ice_drtp=i:1")
Available values: "ice_drtp=i:0" - to disable and "ice_drtp=i:1" - to enable.
Deliver Kite chat requests to all Call group members
The support starts from WMS 5.03.
In some cases, Kite chat requests may not be equally distributed within the group.
To deliver chat requests to all Call group members simultaneously, edit the config file /rw2/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd_mod_wildix_kite.yml by changing the value of the pickup_strategy parameter:
pickup_strategy: sendall
Available values:
- onebyone (default) - sends Kite chat requests to Call group members one by one
- sendall - sends chat requests to all CG members simultaneously.
Trunks
Enable Q-value (serial forking) for trunk registration
To enable q-value (serial forking) parameter via custom register string:
Copy registration line for a trunk from /etc/callweaver/sip-registration.conf (Example: register => 144?144:123456:”144″@10.168.0.144:5060)
- Uncheck Enable registration option in Trunk Settings (WMS -> Trunks)
Add a new line into /etc/callweaver/sip-general-custom.conf:
register => 144?144:123456:”144″@10.168.0.144:5060~~0.6
Where 0.6 is q-value.
Run the command:
callweaver -rx "sip reload"
Modify sending keep-alive packets via UDP packets to keep RTP ports opened
The option improves symmetric RTP/ NAT by allowing keep-alive packets to be sent via UDP packets for PBXs located behind NAT.
To send UDP packets (by default, RTP packets are sent), proceed with the following:
Add the following parameter to the file /etc/callweaver/sip-general-custom.conf
rtpkeepalive_mode=udp
Available values: udp | rtp.
Run the command:
callweaver -rx "sip reload"
Include the session-expires timer in UPDATE message
The feature is disabled by default. It is applied for some specific carriers when calls can drop due to the missing session-expires timer in UPDATE messages.
If you encounter such issue, follow these steps to include the session-expires timer:
Edit the file /etc/callweaver/sip-general-custom.conf by adding the parameter:
session_expire_header_in_update=yes
Available values: no – the feature is disabled; yes – the feature is enabled.
Run the command:
callweaver -x 'sip reload'
Users
2 PBXs in WMS Network, each with its own Active Directory for users
You need admin access to Active Directory server.
To make it work, proceed as follows:
- Make import of users via Active Directory on Server PBX
- Access Client PBX and move users from Server PBX to Client PBX
- Enable Active Directory sync on Client PBX: connect as root via SSH to Client PBX and create the file /rw2/etc/ad_connect.conf
- Copy the contents of the file ad_connect.conf from Server PBX to Client PBX
Result: Single Sign-On for Active Directory works for users on Client PBX.
Limitation: the option "Remove existing users which are not received from the backend" does not work in this configuration; do not enable it.
