PBX Configuration Part One
The 3C configuration is a two part process. First prepare the PBX to accept the DuVoice system as a new trunk, followed by configuration of that trunk.
Active Directory
Create an active directory account which will be used by the DuVoice system for accessing the Web Services. Configure this account so that the password does not expire and the user cannot change the password.
Web Services User
The DuVoice system utilizes 3C Web Services to provide hospitality related features such as Check-in, Check-out, Class of Service Change, Do Not Disturb set/cancel and Name Display change. In order for DuVoice to utilize these Web Services, a Web Services User must be created in 3C with username and password credentials. These credentials provide the system with the rights needed to perform administrative functions via the 3C Web Services.
In 3C Administrator, click on the Users tab. Click on the plus sign.
After clicking on “Add”, Browse the active directory and select the Web Services user which you created previously.
General Tab
- Confirm Use AD Name, 3C Administrator and Web Services Rights are checked.
User Rights Tab
- Click add and choose Zone.
- Change Privilege to Full.
- Change Monitor Method to Unicast.
SIP User Agents
The NEC uses the SIP user agent string to verify access and for configuration of individual phones. The DuVoice system by default uses the user agent string of DuVoice. Verify a SIP user agent has been configured for the DuVoice system and if not add one using the following settings.
Double Click on System
Click SIP tab
- If there is not an entry for DuVoice, click Add and and create one with the Agent Name of DuVoice.
- Confirm the properties are set as follows.
Settings
Change the following settings from their defaults.
User Agent Parameter | Value |
---|---|
MWI NOTIFY Request | Supported |
MWI SUBSCRIBE Request | Unsupported |
Send Forwarding Information | Using Diversion Header |
Send Non-Primary Number | Using Diversion Header |
xpidf+xml support for Presence | Unsupported |
Class of Service
The DuVoice system can change the class of service for guest rooms at check in/out or via InnDesk. These class of service names can be anything appropriate for a hotel.
In this document we will create class of services which match the DuVoice defaults, for more information how these can be configured see the DuVoice Manual.
Class of service names are case sensitive.
UNRESTRICTED
RESTRICTED
Forwarding
By default 3C will not forward RNA or BUSY calls to voicemail, therefore all guest rooms should have their forwarding set to the DuVoice systems extension. It is not suggested to have a ring count much greater than 4 for best wakeup call results.
DuVoice Configuration
If your system was purchased from DuVoice you can skip the Installation of Dialogic and the DuVoice software and go directly to Setup Wizard. For Kit installations you must install Dialogic HMP followed by the DuVoice software.
The DuVoice uses only a single extension on the PBX for access, therefore only line 1 should be configured to register with the PBX. The Wizard will automatically configure Line 1 for registration and leave all others disabled. Because of this all Lines should be configured for the same extension in order to tell the PBX who is performing a callout.
Note
If more lines are added make certain only line 1 is ever configured to register with the PBX.
Install Dialogic HMP
Before DuVoice software can be installed, the Dialogic HMP drivers must being installed and configured. Dialogic HMP installation steps

Troubleshooting
This PBXLink actions are performed by the Hospitality Server itself and there are no additional logging available.
Hospitality Server when a name changes is attempted executes the process c:\duvoice\sphereio.exe with command line arguments. For debugging it is possible for a technician to run this application themselves, however only minimal output will be seen.
