Setting Alternative Numbers With Ps

[CerielRoland]

Hi there,

 

Is it possible to set a alternative number via Powershell?

I need to set the outgoing number for all my users and have managed to do it AFTER the alternative number has been added to all the users.

 

Thanks!

There is not easy to use cmdlet in the SwyxWare PowerShell module for that. But you can do that anyway. Here's the short version:

Get-IpPbxUser -UserName "User 1" | ForEach-Object { 

    $a = new-object "SWConfigDataClientLib.Proxies.Users.SubstitutedNumberEntry"

    $a.InternalNumberID = (Get-IpPbxInternalNumber -InternalNumber "4711") | Select -ExpandProperty InternalNumberID)

    $_.SubstitutedNumberEntryCollection.Add($a)

    $_

} | Update-IpPbxUser -WhatIf

This adds alternative number 4711 to "User 1". As you can see an alternative number has to be an actual internal number of another user.

 

To make it a little easier to understand here is a longer version:

# Get the alternative number ID 

$InternalNumber = Get-IpPbxInternalNumber -InternalNumber "4711" 

$AlternativeNumberID = $InternalNumber.InternalNumberID


# Get the user who will get the alternative number

$u = Get-IpPbxUser -UserName "User 1" 


# create an Alternative number object

$a = new-object "SWConfigDataClientLib.Proxies.Users.SubstitutedNumberEntry" 

$a.InternalNumberID = $AlternativeNumberID


# add the alternative number to the user

$u.SubstitutedNumberEntryCollection.Add($a)


# update the user

Update-IpPbxUser -UserEntry $u

After configuring the alternative number the user can select it in the line configuration in SwyxIt!. In case you want to script configuring the SwyxIt! line configuration you can do that as well. Here's an example to configure the user's first line to use the alternative number for outgoing calls (Assuming you already got the user object in $u via get-ippbxuser):

$ud = Get-IpPbxUserData -UserEntry $u

$ud.m_LineKeySettings[0].ExtensionOutGoing = "4711"

Set-IpPbxUserData -UserEntry $u -UserData $ud
