EMF – Dialout restrictions

No dialout

Deut­sche Über­set­zung unten

On August 29th we acti­va­ted free dia­lout for the EMF tele­pho­ne net­work. That means that calls can be made to all EU count­ries free of char­ge. It is pos­si­ble becau­se nex­mo spon­so­red a call cre­dit that is lar­ge enough for the event with “regu­lar” use. Sin­ce our only rule is: Be excel­lent to each other we did not acti­va­te any usa­ge rest­ric­tions becau­se we assu­me that ever­yo­ne hand­les resour­ces and infra­struc­tu­re respon­si­bly. Unfort­u­na­te­ly, SIP access data was used by an Event­phone exten­si­on on an insuf­fi­ci­ent­ly secu­red sys­tem and the con­tin­gent was misu­s­ed. The con­se­quence is a deac­ti­va­ti­on of this func­tion. Con­ti­nue rea­ding “EMF – Dia­lout restrictions”

The new DECT Registration

Pre­vious­ly, each pho­ne had to be regis­tered indi­vi­du­al­ly by the Pho­ne Ope­ra­ti­on Cen­ter (PoC) or the PoC Help­desk. This always led to long queu­es and wai­ting times at the begin­ning of events. With our old Alca­tel tele­pho­ne sys­tem the­re was tech­ni­cal­ly no pos­si­bi­li­ty to par­al­le­li­ze the pro­cess. With 2500 DECT pho­nes like the 34C3, this is no lon­ger real­ly easy to imple­ment. Assum­ing an opti­mi­stic 30 seconds per log­in, it takes 21 hours. It took more than two days until all devices were regis­tered. As an inte­rim solu­ti­on we had the queue num­be­ring sys­tem PoC Queue to limit the wai­ting time for the users to a maxi­mum of 30 minu­tes. Of cour­se, this is not a real­ly good solu­ti­on and unsui­ta­ble for growth. Con­ti­nue rea­ding “The new DECT Registration”
