Installing the XiVO plugin for BlueMind​

Prerequisites​

The XUC service must be installed on the Avencall server and set up on port 8090.

Create a file /etc/xuc/xuc.conf:

XivoWs {
    enabled=true
}
 
api {
    eventUrl = "http://<bluemind.srv.ip:9091/xivo/1.0/event/domain.tld/dropbox/"
}
 
xucami {
    enabled = false
}

Procedure​

  1. Install the required packages:

    aptitude install bm-plugin-core-cti-xivo bm-xivobridge bm-plugin-core-cti bm-plugin-webserver-cti

In the case of a distributed installation, the bm-plugin-webserver-cti package must be installed on the server hosting the bm-webserver service.

  1. Restart BlueMind after installation:

    # bmctl restart

  2. Modify the file /etc/bm/xivo.ini with the following information:

    xuc.host=<xuc_host>:8090

    Note: XUC's default port is 8090 but it might be 9000 on old XUC server versions
