[Freeswitch-users] BLF not working

[Randy Andrade]

Mike,

I'd have to play with the various timer settings against my FS box at home,
to say for sure. It sounds like 7.4.9a may be a solid firmware after all.
Besides yourself having good luck with it, some co-workers have just
returned from a conference where they spoke with other organizations using
the same back-end that we are who have had fantastic success with it; it
seems our servers may be out of date on some patches that are more critical
than they seemed. We'll be updating our servers over the next couple weeks
and bringing them up to date with their various software loads, so hopefully
that will show that the issues were not in the Cisco firmware after all. I
would be very happy to move to 7.4.9a, as it addresses several outstanding
issues with the 7.4.8a firmware that we're currently running as standard.

I'll let you know how I make out with the BLF's & timers etc after I've had
a chance to play with them more after work, tonight.

Randy
