Re: [asterisk-users] IAXModem or T38Modem?

Hi, I'm installing Hylafax on my Asterisk system. From what I've read, I can either use IAXModem or T38Modem to provide the virtual fax device. we are using T38modem, it was a long way to get it stable, but finally it works quite good with 10 parallel running T38modems. But your carrier has

[asterisk-users] High Availability with Asterisk

Re: [asterisk-users] FAX Issues

Hi, In my office I have 1000 ext, each users has it's own DID number. What I would like is that each user can get a fax using his own number. I'm fighting with this since some time too. My experience is, that faxing over IAXModem is not reliable. So I'm going with T38Modem, my provider also

Re: [asterisk-users] Multiple Asterisk Sessions on same machine

Hi, so is it possible to install a separate instance of Asterisk on the same machine (without using Vmware or such) and set the 2nd instance to listen on another port? you might try it with Xen as virtualisation solution, because especially when using it with Linux as paravirtualised guest, it

[asterisk-users] Fax with Asterisk and T38Modem

Hi, I'm fighting with HylaFAX, Asterisk and T38Modem since some time, to get fax2mail and mail2fax working, my SIP-provider only supports T38 and thus using G711 with IAXModem is not an option. I have got running mail2fax with HylaFAX+ 5.5.0, Asterisk 1.4.20 and T38Modem 2.0.0 successfull, but

Hi everybody, since some time I am looking for a current and reliable solution to send and receive faxes (probably fax-2-mail and mail-2-fax) in conjunction with Asterisk. For testing I am using a HFC-ISDN passive PCI-card, in production a Digium Dual T1/E1 PCI-card will be used. I run CentOS

Re: [asterisk-users] Which virtualization tech to get PCI assignment ?

Hi, I'm looking for a virtualization technique with which I could easily assign PCI/PCIe boards to virtual machines. you might try opensource Xen with paravirtualized Linux-guests, which supports PCI-passthrough quite good. Running several Asterisk-servers at one time might be problematic,

Re: [asterisk-users] How to create a coredump for Asterisk

Hi Luki an all others who answered, Try kill -6 (i.e. SIGABRT). That usually triggers a core dump for me. yes, that works for testing and creates a coredump. Thank you very much for your answer! PS: Running Asterisk under GDB unfortunately is not an option, because it is a production system

[asterisk-users] How to create a coredump for Asterisk

Hi everybody, sometimes we have an Asterisk-crash, but no clue why this is happening, so I'm trying to make a coredump to analyse it. I compiled Asterisk 1.4.20.1 on CentOS 5.4 i386 with DEBUG_THREADS and DONT_OPTIMIZE, then I start it with: # /bin/bash /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk This should do

[asterisk-users] Source-IP on Asterisk DRBD/-HA-Cluster wrong

Hi all, I installed a Linux-HA-cluster with DRBD and Asterisk 1.4 on it. Actually it might work quite good, failover etc. works, even if this is not a 0-downtime solution, because current calls are dropped and the phones not are reachable until they reregister at the Asterisk. It might work

Re: [asterisk-users] Source-IP on Asterisk DRBD/-HA-Cluster wrong

Hi Alex, In the [general] section of sip.conf, set the 'bindaddr' parameter to the cluster IP. If Asterisk is only bound to the floating interface, yeah, that's it :-) I have not tested failover right now, but registring of the phones now works! Thanks a lot, -- Chau y hasta luego,
