Using the file manager

Through a web browser

  • http://<your_sop_ip>/fileman or
  • https://<your_sop_ip>/fileman

Through WebDAV

Starting from version 1.4.0, the file manager supports WebDAV.

WebDAV clients exists for every modern operating system:
  • Microsoft Windows: The recommended client is BitKinex (freeware software). This software has been tested with Windows XP and Windows 7.
  • Ubuntu GNU/Linux: The WebDAV client is part of the distribution. You can also use the command line application 'cadaver'.

Through WebDAV, several storage locations are exposed, such as:

  • Music on Hold: http://<your_sop_ip>/dav/moh or https://<your_sop_ip>/dav/moh
  • Audio prompts: http://<your_sop_ip>/dav/prompts or https://<your_sop_ip>/dav/prompts
  • ...

To consult the full list, please access http://<your_sop_ip>/dav or https://<your_sop_ip>/dav

Archiving
For more information on the archiving possibilities, please consult the Call Recording Support documentation .

User access levels

The file manager can be accessed with two levels of privileges:
  • admin
  • customer
The passwords for both accounts must be configured in the module "Local Admin Password". The module must be reinstalled after each modification of the password(s).

Limitations

  • File deletion should be done using the web based file manager, especially in a cluster environment.
  • Prompts are converted into a 'gsm' format suitable for further playback, only via the web based filemanger. If prompts exists in the 2 formats only the 'gsm' format will be played. If you upload files into the prompts directory through WebDAV, you can access the following page to convert your prompts http://<your_sop_ip>/convert/index.php
