  1. Yeah I'm trying to find a guide from manufactuer, and I'll take it from there. Thanks
  2. Thanks for the replies! I appreciate the concerns, but they are not warranted. We have a solution from our security company that will be used if we want to contact them and 112 (911, 999), this solution is there to be used in a situation were they don't need to be contacted. There is no liability concerns for me since I have already made it clear in writing to the owner (even though that is probably overkill since I know him so well) that I cannot guarantee a solution like this. So there is an API... since I know nothing about programming could I please get some assistance in how to proceed? I would really appreciate it.
  3. I know it seems F*****G stupid but what can I say. Basically anyone can open a store like this, but you have to follow certain rules and be a certain size to be either what is called a "Supermarket", "Kvantum" or "Maxi". And those rules have to do with the cash registers and using computers and items on the network that they supply. The corporate office never install anything at any store, they send out the equipment pre-configured and it's up to the store to find someone to install everything for them. Like I mentioned in my earlier post the store could have chosen a different VoIP vendor but in doing so they would have had to pay for their own network and internet connection and that is something they didn't want to do. So back to the problem at hand, yes it is something that can't be guaranteed at 5 nines, and say that this solution doesn't work for some reason they will still have the ability to push the speed dial button on the phone that does the same thing and the solution from the security company, which is a standard solution that they guarantee is always available, if the situation is really bad. So I am looking for something that I can use as a SIP client, that I can hook a button up to and that can do what I explained in the previous post. If someone knows of a preexisting solution that I can use instead of making my own I'm absolutely open to that as well, which is something I didn't say in my first post (will edit the post now since I thought of it). So unfortunately I can't control the stupidity of the coorperation and the person who has decided that I can't even use a Cisco solution (just an example) when everything else they use is Cisco, and I do mean everything. As a side note, I was considering asking the CTO or whoever made this decision, how much he got paid to say that the VoIP solution that we are now using is the only one that "is good enough" to use on their networks I really hope someone can help me with this. Thanks!
  4. Hello! I'm in need of some assistance and I really hope someone can help me out here. I can start with saying that I have a small company and do some small jobs here and there to get some extra money. My latest job was to replace a traditional phone system in a small local grocery store with a VoIP system and due to the type of store it is the HQ of the chain has only approved one provider (Swedish, since I'm in Sweden) if you want to have it connected to their network and internet. Since the store did not want to get a separate connection and separate equipment this is what they had to choose from. Here is my problem, when they were using POTS they had a button underneath each register that they could push if they felt like they were threatened or had some other issues that required the action of all the staff members in the store. If they pushed this button they rang all the numbers in store at the same time. We currently have a group setup on the server that does the same and for the moment we have a speed dial button on the phones in each register that dial this group. The problem here is that there is no way to hide that this button has been pushed, plus you hear it ringing from the speaker. What I was thinking of doing, if someone can guide me in the right direction or even help me out completely is to install a SIP client on a raspberry pi and with a small pyton script (or something along those lines) dial that group that we have setup on the server if two of the pins on the pi gets shorted. It doesn't have to be a raspberry pi it can be anything that can do what I explained without hearing a dial tone when it's connecting to all the phones. I am totally open to a solution that is pre built to dial one number or one group with the push of a button. I was thinking of something along the lines of an SIP capable intercom if you can disable the speaker in it, but haven't found something that I like. To be clear, any idea is a good idea so please help me out! Just to make it clear, this setup is separate from the alarm setup we have that goes to the security provider and 112 (911).
  5. So in case this occurs to someone else it might be good to have the resolution on hand. In writing this I will assume that KB3065987 is installed since it is a must have. Disable (or set to inactive) the Group Policy Object (a.k.a. GPO) that stops Windows from using WU to install Windows 10. Disable UAC Disable Windows update by changing it settings to not look for updates nor ask the user about updates. This step shouldn't be necessary since we are disabling the actual service after restart, but for some reason I had to include this step. Restart Windows If WU tries to initiate anything stop it. Before stopping the service as described below double check if the service was set to start manually or automatic since you want it back to how it was when we're done. Open services and stop the Winodws Update service, a.k.a. wuauserv (I'm certain that there is a command you can enter in cmd or powershell, but I don't know it) also set the startup method to inactive to make sure it doesn't start back up. Restart the computer (again) to make sure the Windows Update service has stopped. It is the same thing here as above, I am certain that there is a command you can type from cmd or powershell and I think it is: net stop wuauserv However, since I'm not certain I prefer to restart the computer. Go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download (with this I assume that you have Windows installed on C:\ if it is installed on any other drive put down that drive letter instead) and remove any files and folders that are inside this folder, if there are any. If you have any problems removing them, boot windows into safe mode (no network or other special safe mode needed). Restart again (don't we love Windows by now ) Go back to edit the GPO that stops WU from installing Windows 10 and set it to "Activated". Now go to services and set the Windows Update service, a.k.a. wuauserv to the startup method it had prior to changing it to inactive and then choose to start it. Open WU, change the settings to whatever you prefer and start updating without worrying about having to install Windows 10 (there is a small possibility that you'll have to restart Windows before you can use WU). If someone had the problem I had or similar I hope they are helped by this little fix. Enjoy!
  6. Hello, I've got a computer running Windows 7 Pro and for different reasons I need to keep Windows 7 on it. For some time now Windows Update has been bugging me to upgrade to Windows 10 and it has just been annoying since I have been able to cancel it, but yesterday Windows Update downloaded a Windows 10 upgrade app that was not as user friendly. I could choose to install it now or postpone it up to a week and then it said that on the date in question the upgrade would install. So I went to Microsofts site to manage Windows 10 upgrade options, from there I downloaded the Windows 7 Pro x64 KB that is needed to block Windows Update from installing the Windows 10 upgrade. After that I followed the instructions on the site to stop the upgrade from being installed and was happy, until I noticed that I had the Windows 10 upgrade stuck in the Windows update window. As for those of you that doesn't read Swedish it says: Your upgrade to Windows 10 is available. Restart the computer to begin the installation. It might take a while, but we'll let you know when it's finished. Then the button says Restart now. No matter what I do including pressing the "Restart now" button this Windows 10 upgrade remains like this, so I can't download any other Windows updates. Please help.
