Flash Operator Panel 2 Keygen

Posted on by admin

VirtualTone caters to all businesses from enterprise level call centers to small and mid-sized businesses. Our mission is to provide you with the highest quality communication solutions without pain or discomfort. FOP2 works perfectly with Asterisk 1.8, 1.6 and 1.4, and almost perfectly with 1.2. There is no other panel that has that broad asterisk version support. And it probably works well with 1.0 or 0.5, but did not bother to try. The latest version (2.20 beta) has options to tweak behavior and take advantage of some 1.6 and 1.8 features.

Learning has never been so easy!

This article details the installation and configuration of Flash Operator Panel 2 for Elastix version 2.3.0 release 8 (running on CentOS5 v2.6.18 release 308.24.1.el5). Flash Operator Panel 2 is an add-on to the Elastix system that can be used to easily see a bird's eye view of all extensions configured within the phone system, see call activity, and transfer / manipulate calls coming to the user's extension who is logged into FOP2.

The installer for FOP2 v2.26 built for CentOS (64-bit version) was downloaded from www.fop2.com.

13 Steps total

Step 1: Transfer the Installer to the Elastix Server - Part 1

Open WinSCP (just an executable that can be downloaded for free).
Without changing any settings, enter the server ip and the username and password to connect to the server. I recommend using the user root and corresponding password to ensure you have the proper permissions to connect.

Once you click Login, you may get a message about a private key file, but click Ok to continue if this happens.

Step 2: Transfer the Installer to the Elastix Server - Part 2

In the left-hand window, you will see files on your computer. Navigate to the directory where the downloaded installer is stored.
In the right-hand window, navigate to the root directory of the Elastix server (/). Create a folder with the name of your choice. In this example, I created one called fop inside the root directory (full path to it is /fop).

Drag the installer from your computer to the target folder on the Elastix server. When the popup window opens, click Copy. That should move the installer to the target directory on the Elastix server.

You can now close WinSCP. It will no longer be needed.

Step 3: Connect to the Elastix Server Using SSH

Use a utility such as Putty to connect to the Elastix server via SSH. You just have to point Putty at the server's ip address and will be prompted to login once you click Open. When the terminal window opens, enter the proper credentials (user root is the only one that will have access), and that should get you in with no issues.

Step 4: Extract FOP2 Using Tarball and Install

Panel

After successfully logging into the SSH session, change to the directory where the installer was saved (cd /fop in this case).
Then run the extraction with the command tar zxvf fop2-2.26-centos5-x86_64.tgz (where the .tgz file is the installer downloaded previously).

After all files are extracted successfully, run cd /fop/fop2 to dive into the directory containing the extracted files. Then, run the command make install to install everything into the proper directories as are referenced below.

Step 5: Change the Manager Secret for FOP2 to Match the Asterisk Manager Secret

Run the command cat /etc/asterisk/manager.conf. This will show the contents of manager.conf on the screen. In the area under [admin], make note of the value of a field named secret. This is the Asterisk manager password (the one used to access the Elastix web interface with username admin).

Run vi /usr/local/fop2/fop2.cfg. This opens a Unix text editor. Press the i key on your keyboard to put the editor in insert mode. Find the area at the top of the file under [general]. Change the manager_secret to the same value as you found in the manager.conf file above. Once you have done this, press Esc on the keyboard to exit insert mode. Then type :wq! to exit the vi editor and save the changes.

For good measure, run the command amportal restart once you finish making the changes here.

Step 6: Change Asterisk SIP Settings for FOP

Log in to Elastix and go to PBX -> Unembedded FreePBX.

If you get a message about not having access to FreePBX, go to the Security menu in Elastix and allow access to the Unembedded FreePBX module. You will also have to set the password for user admin if it has not already been set.

Panel

Login to FreePBX with the appropriate credentials. From the Tools menu, select Asterisk SIP Settings. In the area labeled Advanced General Settings, find the field for Other SIP Settings. Add callevents = yes, and click submit changes. You will then see a red bar at the top of your browser window that will say Apply Changes. Click this option so the changes will apply to the system.

Step 7: Modify Call Queues

If any call queues have been setup within Elastix, they need to be modified so that FOP2 can detect call events sent to queues.

In the Elastix interface, go to the PBX tab and then click Queues. Any call queues you have setup will be listed on the right-hand side of the screen. For each queue, change the Event When Called field to Yes if it is set to No and save your changes. That is the only field which is important for FOP2.

Step 8: Test the Manager Connection to FOP2

From your SSH session, run /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server --test. You should get a message that says Connection to manager OK!
You may get a message about no license being detected. That can be ignored for the time being even though the screenshot here shows a license being installed already.

Step 9: Avoid Conflicts with FOP1

There is a Flash Operator Panel built into Elastix, and we have to change the port on which it listens (default is 4445) before FOP2 will work properly.

Within your SSH session, run vi /var/www/html/panel/op_server.cfg. Remember to press i to be able to edit the file. Find the line that says ;listen_port=4445 and change it to listen_port=4444. Make sure you uncomment this line by deleting the semicolon (as seen in the screenshot). Press Esc to exit insert mode, and then type :wq! to save changes and exit the file. You can also run /usr/sbin/amportal stop_fop to disable FOP1 completely at this point.

Step 10: Copy the Proper Files

Within the SSH session, navigate back to the FOP2 install directory (which is /fop/fop2 in this example) by running cd /fop/fop2.

Then run the following commands:
mv server /usr/local/fop2
mv html /var/www/html/fop2

This will move all of the proper files for FOP2 to the proper area to be accessed via a web browser.

Panel

Step 11: Start the Service

From your SSH session, run service fop2 start, and the service should start with no issues.

Step 12: Register the License

The steps we have completed thus far will only install the demo version of FOP2 (view limited to 15 extensions), so you can run /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server --register from a SSH session, enter the registration code sent when you purchased FOP2, and then enter the name you want to use for registration. If you then run the command service fop2 restart, that should restart FOP2 so that you are now using the registered version. You can also run /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server --test to see if FOP2 detects that you have registered a license.

Step 13: Verify that You Can Login to the Web Interface

Once everything has been installed, you can visit http://ipofyourelastixserver/fop2. In our example, it is http://192.168.0.30/fop2. Since we are using Elastix, any extension setup should be able to login using their extension number, and the password will be the same as the extension number's voicemail password.

Just for reference, once this is complete, the FOP2 server is installed in /usr/local/fop2, and the web application is installed in /var/www/html/fop2.
Also, the list of extensions and passwords to access FOP2 can be shown via a SSH session by running /usr/local/fop2/autoconfig-users-freepbx.sh.

This AFCI (the circuit breaker with the yellow label) is an older generation AFCI circuit breaker. The current (as of 2013) devices are referred to as 'combination type.'

An arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) also known as an arc-fault detection device (AFDD)[1] is a circuit breaker that breaks the circuit when it detects the electric arcs that are a signature of loose connections in home wiring. Loose connections, which can develop over time, can sometimes become hot enough to ignite house fires. An AFCI selectively distinguishes between a harmless arc (incidental to normal operation of switches, plugs, and brushed motors), and a potentially dangerous arc (that can occur, for example, in a lamp cord which has a broken conductor).

AFCI breakers have been required for circuits feeding electrical outlets in residential bedrooms by the electrical codes of Canada and the United States since the beginning of the 21st century; the U.S. National Electrical Code has required them to protect most residential outlets since 2014,[2] and the Canadian Electrical Code has since 2015.[3] In parts of the world using 230 V, where the higher voltage implies lower currents, specifically Western Europe and the UK, adoption is slower, and their use is optional, except in high risk cases.

In the US, arc faults are one of the leading causes for residential electrical fires.[4] Each year in the United States, over 40,000 fires are attributed to home electrical wiring. These fires result in over 350 deaths and over 1,400 injuries each year.[5]

Conventional circuit breakers only respond to overloads and short circuits, so they do not protect against arcing conditions that produce erratic, and often reduced current. AFCIs are devices designed to protect against fires caused by arcing faults in the home electrical wiring. The AFCI circuitry continuously monitors the current and discriminates between normal and unwanted arcing conditions. Once detected, the AFCI opens its internal contacts, thus de-energizing the circuit and reducing the potential for a fire to occur.[6]

Operating principle[edit]

The electronics inside an AFCI breaker detect electrical current alternating at characteristic frequencies, usually around 100 kHz, known to be associated with wire arcing, which are sustained for more than a few milliseconds. A combination AFCI breaker provides protection against parallel arcing (line to neutral), series arcing (a loose, broken, or otherwise high resistance segment in a single line), ground arcing (from line or neutral to ground), overload protection and short circuit protection. The AFCI will open the circuit if dangerous arcing is detected.

When installed as the first outlet on a branch circuit, AFCI receptacles provide series arc protection for the entire branch circuit. They also provide parallel arc protection for the branch circuit starting at the AFCI receptacle. Unlike AFCI breakers, AFCI receptacles may be used on any wiring system regardless of the panel.

Electrical code requirements[edit]

US and Canada[edit]

Starting with the 1999 version of the National Electrical Code in the United States, and the 2002 version of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada, the national codes require AFCIs in all circuits that feed outlets in bedrooms of dwelling units. As of the 2014 NEC, AFCI protection is required on all branch circuits supplying outlets or devices installed in dwelling unit kitchens, along with the 2008 NEC additions of family rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, parlors, libraries, dens, bedrooms, sunrooms, recreation rooms, closets, hallways, laundry areas, and similar rooms and areas. They are also required in dormitory units. This requirement may be accomplished by using a 'combination type' breaker—a specific kind of circuit-breaker defined by UL 1699—in the breaker panel that provides combined arc-fault and overcurrent protection or by using an AFCI receptacle for modifications/extensions, as replacement receptacles or in new construction, at the first outlet on the branch. Not all U.S. jurisdictions have adopted the NEC's AFCI requirements so it is important to check local code requirements.

The AFCI is intended to prevent fire from arcs. AFCI circuit breakers are designed to meet one of two standards as specified by UL 1699: 'branch' type or 'combination' type (note: the Canadian Electrical Code uses different terminology but similar technical requirements). A branch type AFCI trips on 75 amperes of arcing current from the line wire to either the neutral or ground wire. A combination type adds series arcing detection to branch type performance. Combination type AFCIs trip on 5 amperes of series arcing.

AFCI receptacles are an alternative solution to AFCI breakers. These receptacles are designed to address the dangers associated with both types of potentially hazardous arcing: parallel and series. AFCI receptacles offer the benefit of localized test and reset with such buttons located on the face of the device. This can save a journey to the breaker panel but can also encourage simply resetting by a user without investigating the underlying fault, as would presumably happen if someone with access to the electrical panel was notified.

In 2002, the NEC removed the word 'receptacle', leaving 'outlets', with the effect that lights and other wired-in devices such as ceiling fans within bedrooms were added to the requirement. The 2005 code made it clearer that all outlets must be protected despite discussion in the code-making panel about excluding bedroom smoke detectors from the requirement. 'Outlets' as defined in the NEC includes receptacles, light fixtures and smoke alarms, among other things. Basically, any point where AC electricity is used to power something is an outlet.

As of January 2008, only 'combination type' AFCIs meet the NEC requirement. The 2008 NEC requires the installation of combination-type AFCIs in all 15 and 20 ampere residential circuits with the exception of laundries, kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and unfinished basements, though many of these require GFCI protection. The 2014 NEC adds kitchens and laundry rooms to the list of rooms requiring AFCI circuitry, as well as any devices (such as lighting) requiring protection.[7]

United Kingdom[edit]

In the UK, the Wiring Regulations 18th edition (BS 7671:2018) is the first edition to make any mention of arc fault devices, and indicate they may be installed if the design has an unusually high risk of fire from arc faults. The annexes relating to testing indicate than when AFDDs are installed, their correct operation must be verified before completion, but the method of testing is not described. This is in contrast to RCDs where a number of trip times at different fault current levels must be verified.[8]

Germany[edit]

The German Wiring rules VDE 100, recommend AFDDs for high risk situations, and lists elderly care homes, community centres and kindergartens as examples.

Limitations[edit]

AFCIs are designed to protect against fires caused by electrical arc faults. While the sensitivity of the AFCIs helps in the detection of arc faults, these breakers can also indicate false positives by identifying normal circuit behaviors as arc faults. For instance, lightning strikes provide voltage and current profiles that resemble arc faults, and vacuum cleaners and some laser printers trip AFCIs. This nuisance tripping reduces the overall effectiveness of AFCIs. Research into advancements in this area is being pursued.[9]

AFCIs are also known to be sensitive (false tripping) to the presence of radio frequency energy, especially within the so-called high frequency spectrum (3-30 MHz) which include legitimate Citizens Band and Amateur Radio operations. Sensitivities and mitigation have been known since 2013.[10]

AFCI circuit breakers include a standard inverse-time circuit breaker but provide no specific protection against glowing connections also known as a high resistance connection, high line voltages or low line voltages.

An AFCI does not detect high line voltage due to an open neutral in a multiwire branch circuit. A multiwire branch circuit has both energized wires of a 120-240 V split phase service. If the neutral is broken, devices connected from a 120 V leg to the neutral may experience excess voltage, up to twice normal.

AFCIs do not detect low line voltage. Low line voltage can cause electromechanical relays to repeatedly turn off and on. If current is flowing through the load contacts it causes arcing across the contacts as they open. The arcing can oxidize, pit and melt the contacts. This process can increase the contact resistance, superheat the relay and lead to fires. Power fault circuit interrupters are designed to prevent fires from low voltage across loads.[citation needed]

Interference with power line networking[edit]

AFCIs may interfere with the operation of some power line communication technologies.[11]
