Macos Customization About macOS Customization About This section describes how to customize macOS and FreeSWITCH™ to provide additional benefits. It is part of the FreeSWITCH™ macOS documentation. 1 Configuration Introduction 2 24x7 Operation 3 Email Voicemails 4 Remotely Accessing a Mac 4.1 Screen Sharing 4.1.1 Drag and Drop Files 4.2 Setup File Sharing 4.3 SSH 5 Invisible Files and Directories 5.1 Scripts and Widgets 5.2 Show and Hide Scripts 5.3 Show Invisible Files in Open Dialog Window Configuration Introduction Read Configuring FreeSWITCH to learn about the various configuration files and "poke around" the sample configuration in the /usr/local/freeswitch/conf folder. To setup the gateway to your ITSP and dialplans so you can make and receive calls these files require changing: Gateway to your ITSP in conf/sip_profiles User extensions in conf/directory/default Outgoing dialplans in /conf/dialplan/default Incoming dialplans in /conf/dialplan/public These are default directories, files can be placed in other locations. In addition there are other files for IVR, sounds, etc. you should become familiar with. And don't forget the FreeSWITCH™ documentation. To find parameters in configuration files easily you should learn how to use Grep, a Unix find tool. Grep will search for text in the directory and display lines with matching text. For instance, if you want to find where the word "mail" is used type the following command: grep mail conf/* grep -r mail conf/* # The -r (recursive) option includes all subdirectories in the search. You can perform all editing using Textedit, however, you should become familiar with the Xcode editor. Its advantage is that it displays XML code colorized so you can find syntax errors quickly. This is ideal for editing FreeSWITCH™ XML configuration files. A great way to save a lot of time learning to configure and customize FreeSWITCH™ is to Buy The Books! 24x7 Operation Setting up for 24x7 operation instructions are located at macOS 24x7 Preparation. Email Voicemails For instructions on how to automatically send voicemails as email attachments see macOS Email Voicemail. Remotely Accessing a Mac Screen Sharing FreeSWITCH™ and a Mac Mini can provide PBX and other server functions while taking up almost no space since it does not require a keyboard, mouse or monitor. If you are using a Mac Mini this way or your Mac is located in a closet or other remote location you can control one Mac from another. The big bonus is that you can run Xcode and work on configurations, changes, updates, etc. all using the normal macOS screen. Perform these steps on the remote Mac to be controlled: 1. Start System Preferences 2. Click Sharing 3. Check "Screen Sharing" This Mac will now display in the Finder of other Macs on the local network. On the "controlling" Mac: 1. Open the Finder 2. Select the remote Mac in the SHARED section 3. Click on "Share Screen" 4. Enter the password for the remote Mac. The entire Desktop of the remote Mac is displayed and controllable. It will run it as if the monitor is connected and is very fast and extremely reliable. You can even restart the remote Mac and the screen will reappear. One caveat is that sound does not play remotely. If the remote Mac is close enough turn up its volume to full to hear sounds. Drag and Drop Files If you have a remote Mac running FreeSWITCH™ it may be desirable to access or transfer files between them. macOS screen sharing provides drag and drop of files between screens to transfer them! No need for file transfers or other unproductive options. Nothing to setup, once screen sharing is active drag and drop is available. Setup File Sharing In addition to the previously mentioned Drag and Drop, you can display file directories on a remote Mac and drag files between them. Perform these steps on the remote Mac so it can share files with other Macs: 1. Start System Preferences 2. Click Sharing 3. Check "File Sharing" This Mac will now display in the Finder of other Macs on the local network. Use the same procedure for the controlling Mac above except select "Connect" instead of "Share Screen". The directories you setup to share will display. SSH If you have a headless Mac but don't have another one to use for screen or file sharing, or your only other system is Linux or Windows, you can access the remote mac via SSH. Turn on SSH access through System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Login. This provides limited access compared to the options above and requires knowledge of SSH usage. Simply perform a web search for "macOS SSH" to find much more information and examples. Invisible Files and Directories macOS hides many Unix directories and files from the finder and Terminal app. You won't be able to view /usr or other hidden directories without special commands or extra steps. Here are some options to allow you to see hidden files: Scripts and Widgets Search the web for an automator application, applescript or program that modifies the AppleShowAllFiles finder setting. For example, macOS hidden files Dashboard widget. Open Dashboard and run it to flip the setting. Show and Hide Scripts Create scripts that run in the Terminal application to flip between hide and show of invisible files. The file name must end with ".command" and can be placed on the Desktop for easy access. For each of the two files below: 1. Start Textedit 2. Paste the lines into the empty document 3. Pull down the Format menu 4. Select Make Plain Text 5. Save the file on the Desktop as -filename- File invis show.command: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES killall Finder File invis hide.command: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO killall Finder Then run the Terminal application and issue the following commands to make the files executable: cd ~/Desktop <- this is the directory where you placed the files chmod +x "invis show.command" chmod +x "invis hide.command" Double clicking the file icons will run Terminal and change the hide/show setting. Show Invisible Files in Open Dialog Window While any open file dialog window is displayed press command+shift+.(period) to view hidden files. Press again to hide. Note that this does not work in the finder, only for the open dialog box while in an application such as Textedit. .

    AVer IFP Screen Share App Frequently Asked Questions 3/1/2018 This document is intended to help the user or the network administrator to ensure that the network environment is compatible with AVer IFP Screen Share App for AirPlay, Chromecast, and Miracast protocols. 0 Screen Sharing FAQ I cannot see the AirPlay icon on my iOS device If the AirPlay mirror icon isn't displaying on your iOS device, it isn't able to see the IFP running Screen Sharing App for one reason or another. The firewall on your computer may be preventing the devices from communicating. It's also possible that the firewall on your router is preventing internal network communication. Microsoft has included instructions for allowing applications through the Windows firewall: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Allow-a-program-to-communicate-through-Windows- Firewall If you're using a Mac, Apple has provided similar instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1810 Corporate and school networks often block a number of ports from communicating across networks. You may need to have the school's IT department allow TCP ports 7000, 47000, 7100, 49228, 50259 and UDP 62572, 54780 to be open to communicate. The network must also be allowed to run Bonjour, MultiCast, and mDNS. Or you must also be on the same VLAN or subnet within the network to connect, Apple's Airplay cannot cross subnets/VLANs, this is a limitation of Apple's AirPlay. Apple has provided more instructions on this issue here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215 Some Samsung device will not connect to Screen Share Samsung devices use a slight variation of the Google Cast protocol and may need the assistance of the free Google Home app to connect to IFP Screen Share.

  • Video Conferencing Applications
    Video Conferencing Applications There are numerous good, free video conferencing applications in the marketplace. According to PC Magazine, the following are the top free applications on the market: Facebook Messenger Mac | Windows | iOS | Android Facebook Messenger is perhaps the best choice on this list because most everyone has a Facebook account. It’s also easy to use. Simply open up the app, press on the person you want to call, and tap the camera button in the top-right corner. The app will then connect you with your friend, and you’ll be able to chat the same way you would in any other video-centric app. Messenger allows for sharing of photos and videos, but no desktop sharing. Downloads: iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/messenger/id454638411?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.orca&hl=en Access: www.Facebook.com FaceTime Mac | iOS FaceTime comes free with all Mac and iDevices, from the fourth-gen iPhone and iPod touch, second-gen iPad, and Mac OS X Lion (10.7) on up. Once you register your phone number and/or email addresses with the service, you can then find others. If you know another user's contact info and they're also using an Apple device, making a video call is as simple as making a phone call. That's the major strength, along with very high video quality. The problem with FaceTime is that it's not on any other devices. With FaceTime there is nodesktop sharing.

  • Remote Desktop and Screen Sharing on Mac
    Remote Desktop and Screen Sharing on Mac There are several ways to “remote” into a computer from your Mac. This document explains two ways of doing so. The first is Microsoft RDP (downloadable from Self-Service or cloudapps.byu.edu), and the second is Mac’s built-in “Screen Sharing” application. Microsoft Remote Desktop 1. Download Microsoft RDP from Self-Service or from cloudapps.byu.edu 2. Set up a VPN (if you need one): It is important to distinguish between a VPN and the Remote Desktop Gateway Server (rdgw.byu.edu). The gateway is everybody to use (it goes through DUO) – student, faculty, employees. It is the way your computer’s information gets routed over the internet to campus. A VPN, however, is only available for full-time employees, part-time employees, and those who contact the IT service desk. Not all services require access through a VPN, only services that function through the CPC-Provo Data Center. To know whether or not you need a VPN for your application, see OIT’s VPN FAQs (https://it.byu.edu/kb_view_customer.do?sys_kb_id=e5253e100a0a3c0e427396a16906 f795&sysparm_language=&sysparm_nameofstack=&sysparm_kb_search_table=&syspar m_search=vpn). If you know you require a VPN, please follow the steps at the link below to request access from OIT: https://it.byu.edu/it?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=8bb11a740a0a3c0e28efe64283cf7a8f That said, you will most likely not need a VPN to access your computer if you remote through the gateway. OIT will have you access your campus resources through VPN using the Palo Alto GlobalProtect Client. Follow the steps found at this link: https://it.byu.edu/it?id=kb_article&sys_id=09460af4db6b84901f061cb51b9619a8 This is a link where you can download the VPN client: https://gp-cmps.byu.edu/global-protect/getsoftwarepage.esp There are other links found at the https://it.byu.edu/it?id=kb_article&sys_id=09460af4db6b84901f061cb51b9619a8 link with installation instructions.

  • 22 Free Screen-Sharing Apps for Work-At-Home Collaboration
    UNITED STATES FEATURE 22 free screen-sharing apps for work-at-home collaboration Want to share your screen to collaborate with a colleague, or remotely access someone’s computer to troubleshoot a technical problem? Whatever your screen-sharing need, here are 22 free collaboration apps that do the job. By Keith Shaw Contributing Writer, Computerworld APR 6, 2020 3:00 AM PDT Table of Contents The flood of employees working from home due to the Covid-19 outbreak has caused many companies to explore different ways for people to communicate and collaborate, with apps and services replacing in-person meetings or gather-around-a-desk sessions. Screen sharing, where one person shares their computer’s desktop or a single application with one or more people, generally serves one of three purposes: 1. Quick collaboration and meetings between co-workers. 2. Client communications, such as sharing a presentation or other application. 3. Technical support for IT staffers (or any tech-savvy individual) looking to solve a remote worker’s computer issue. Because of these different purposes, screen sharing is seen as a feature in different types of applications and services, from web conferencing and video chat services to remote access apps. In addition, there are a number of tools that just do screen sharing as their main functionality. / Fortunately, several of these apps and services have expanded their free offerings due to the current Covid-19 situation. Time limits on meetings, the number of participants allowed, and other restrictions on free versions have been lifted by some companies, at least temporarily.
