Can the phone send internal variables within an Action URL

Yes, from firmware 5.0 onwards it is possible to send variables of your phone via Action URLs to a remote Webserver.

Syntax

Action URLs are basically HTTP "GET" requests and may contain variable names starting with $ and "pattern=$variable" strings separated by "&":

http://192.168.X.X/test.php?your_pattern1=$variable1&your_pattern2=$variable2&...

Logging

The execution is logged on the phone and can be easily verified on the phone´s Log page (V6/V7):

[2] 11/4/2006 10:52:43: Sending post request host = 192.168.X.X:80, file = /test.php?your_pattern1=$variable1

Variables

The following variables may be used for your own pattern:

1. static variables:
   • Configuration Parameters stored on the phone's Settings page
   • Note: private settings e.g. passwords are replaced by empty strings
     
     
2. runtime variables:
   • $local --> the SIP URI of the local identity (your phone's number)
   • $remote --> the SIP URI of the remote identity (the other party's phone number)
   • $active_url --> the SIP URI of the active outgoing identity
   • $active_user --> the user part of the SIP URI for the active outgoing identity
   • $active_host --> the host part of the SIP URI for the active outgoing identity
   • $csta_id --> CSTA ID
   • $call-id --> the call-id of the active call
   • $display_local --> used to display your phone's display name
   • $display_remote --> used to display the other party's display name
   • $expansion_module --> used to show which expansion module do you use and
   • $active_key --> the function key (e.g. P1, P5, P32,..) associated with a call.
   • $phone_ip --> current IP address of the phone (only to use as argument, http://$phone_ip... will NOT work. Use "localhost" instead)
   • $nr_ongoing_calls --> contains the number of active calls

Examples

http://192.168.X.X/test.php?language=$language
http://192.168.X.X/test.php?redirectnr=$redirect_number&redirecttime=$redirect_time
http://192.168.X.X/test.php?callingto=$remote&callingid=$local

Configuration

Action URLs can be configured depending on the purpose.

Event driven on the Action URL setting page based on the following events:

• DND on/off
• Redirection on/off
• Incoming call/Outgoing call
• Setup finished
• On offhook/onhook
• Missed call

• On Connected/Disconnected

  Note: Those variables which are replaced on run-time do not work with all of these events.
