VitalPBX continues to raise the bar for open-source PBX solutions with its latest update, released on August 14, 2025. This update introduces meaningful improvements in system usability, fax reliability, and monitoring accuracy—delivering an even more refined experience for administrators and users alike.
Let’s dive into what’s new in this release and how it enhances your communications infrastructure.
Redesigned Installation Page: Smarter, Brand-Aware Interface
The installation page has been revamped to better align with your PBX branding configurations. When a database is disconnected, instead of showing system-specific visuals, the interface now presents a neutral, generic look. This reduces confusion and maintains professionalism, especially in hosted or white-labeled environments.
Key Benefits:
Consistent UI with your company branding
Clearer interface during setup or database errors
Improved user onboarding experience
T.38 Fax Reliability: Automatic Re-INVITE Initiation
VitalPBX now proactively sends a T.38 re-INVITE if the remote endpoint does not initiate one. This enhancement significantly improves fax transmission success, especially with SIP trunk providers or older fax machines that don’t fully support T.38 negotiations.
Why It Matters:
Boosts fax success rates across diverse endpoints
Reduces troubleshooting for failed transmissions
Improves compatibility with carriers and SIP devices
Fixed: Active Calls Report Displays Correctly
The Active Calls report—a key dashboard tool for monitoring live communications—has been fixed and is now displaying accurate, real-time data once again.
Why It Matters:
Enables real-time call monitoring and analytics
Essential for call center supervisors and PBX admins
Restores confidence in reporting tools
What This Update Means for You
Whether you’re managing a call center, running hosted PBX services, or maintaining in-house VoIP infrastructure, these updates deliver improvements where it counts:
More reliable faxing to ensure business-critical documents are sent without issue
Cleaner installation UI that aligns with your branding and simplifies first-time setup
Restored reporting functionality to support call visibility and decision-making
How to Upgrade
