Re: IP Softphone for Mac OS No Cisco softphones are available for the Macintosh that would work with the UC520. Cisco has the Unified Personal Communicator that will work with the Mac, but it requires Cisco Unified Presence. Jan 18, 2017 Mac OS X is a line of Apple operating systems (OS) included in every modern Macintosh (Mac) computer. It is the successor to the classic Mac OS 9.

How to install Asterisk and FreePBX on the Raspberry Pi, using a Mac with OS X. For information related to Raspberry Pi, check the original website at raspberrypi.org. Raspberry Pi is a trademark of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. |
1Download the RasPBX disk image from: http://www.raspberry-asterisk.org/downloads/
- eg: raspbx-03-12-2017.zip
2Erase a (4GB) compact flash card. The easiest way to do this is with Disk Utility:
- Press CMD SPACE to reveal the Spotlight search bar.
- In this search bar, type 'disk utility' and press return to launch the Disk Utility application.
- Select the SD card in the left hand pane, and then select Erase ensuring that the format is MS-DOS (FAT).
Note: If your Compact Flash card is larger than 4GB, you can expand the file system later withraspi-config
3Open the Terminal application.
- Press CMD SPACE to reveal the Spotlight search bar.
- In this search bar, type 'terminal', and press return to launch the Terminal application.
4Identify the compact flash disk, and unmount it (mine was /dev/disk1).

Note: In case of: Unmount of disk1 failed: at least one volume could not be unmounted,
append the number of the DOS_FAT_32 partition, eg:
append the number of the DOS_FAT_32 partition, eg:
diskutil unmountdisk /dev/disk1s1
5Navigate to the RasPBX disk image location (downloads), and copy it with the DD command.
cd downloads
sudo dd if=raspbx-31-07-2014.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=2m
Be patient! The DD command will take a long time, and there is no progress indication.
Output from the commands in steps 4 and 5:

6When finished, eject the flash card, plug it in your Raspberry Pi, and power up.
- After a few moments, you should be able to SSH (and/or HTTP) into the Raspberry Pi.SSH: ssh [email protected]
Web GUI: http://raspbx.local

7Run the following commands (in the Terminal application) to install the latest additions and improvements:
ssh [email protected]
- Console login, andraspbx-upgrade
- install software upgrades.raspi-config
- if the CF is larger than 4GB, expand the file system to fill it.
ssh-keygen -R raspbx.local
or ssh-keygen -R <IP Address>
and try again.8Open Safari, enter the URL http://raspbx.local,
- Click FreePBX Administration, and log in with admin/admin (left image).

ApplePi-Baker is a GUI application which allows you to 'flash' an IMG file to an SD-Card, or make IMG backups without needing to use any OS X terminal commands. It's also useful for creating or restoring an IMG backup of USB drives! |
One more thing:CleanMyDrive cleans external drives from needless service junk generated by Windows or OS X (such as .DS_Store, Thumbs.db, .Spotlight, hidden trashes and so on). It also lets you access (and eject) drives from the menu bar.
