 True.  But you will only be interested in SS7 if you are interested in
 being a licensed carrier and expanding to handle enough voice channels to
 make SS7 more cost effective than RBS.  This point is at the heart of the
 original question.  Putting SS7 on * is worthwhile only if there are going
 to be users.  If SS7 were available today, would existing * users adopt
 SS7-IMT and would it interest non-users to become users?

   Easy solution -- Have * talk to SS7-certified equipment. Cisco comes to
   mind. They have SS7 gateways that could talk with * as do many others.
   You can use * to cut out the expensive hardware and only use the bare
   minimum of the vendor's setup to talk to SS7.
  
   -Dan
 
  Whatever * is able to cut out, you still need a serious telco budget to
  actually get the SS7 solution. Given customer requirements, you pass the
  $500,000 mark in the blink of an eye. And that does not include a
  service contract for the kit for as long as it is in service.

 The cost of traditional SS7 equipment is prohibitive for big and small
 business plans.  A low-cost alternative could be a business plan enabler.

  This may
  still make sense to some though. If I were to make such investments I
  would:
  * become a licensed carrier
  * install SS7 interconnection gear with all major carriers in the
  designated area

 In North America you can connect to a single SS7 network provider and have
 all the SS7 access you need.  SS7 access is separate from IMT access.   I
 would think that connection to a single carrier in Europe would be
 sufficient to begin with also.

  * negotiate termination service fees as high as possible

 With your clients?

  * get tons of traffic to my network by offering ??? to customers

 For * I think an attraction is VoIP to PSTN bridging and access to the PSTN
 user base.  This is a technology list so marketing ideas are OT.

  * profit!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Incoming calls using iconnecthere

When an incoming call is attempted Asterisk displays the following:

Warning [131081]: chan_sip.c Line 1991: (__transmit_response): Unable to
determine sequence number from ''

I've been seeing this problem within the last little while (sorry I

This probably isn't going to help you if you're behind NAT but it 
seems that changing the register host from natrelay.deltathree.com

Re: [Asterisk-Users] External FXO device (USB or ethernet), supported by Asterisk?

2003-05-30 Thread Dan
Hi all,

ISDN is not an option for me... I don't want to subscribe to ISDN services
just to use Asterisk.

I have just tested a Cisco 1700 router as a 2 x FXS + 2 x FX interfaces.
It is connected to Asterisk through ethernet.
I have connected 2 phone lines and two analog phones.
The box is seen by Asterisk as a SIP UA.
I can call PSTN using separate prefixes for each of the two lines.
The two analog phones are defined as extensions in Asterisk.
I have some other phones connected to the same Asterisk: one Cisco 7960 and
one X-Lite, both on SIP and a Netmeeting as a H.323 client.

It is a nice thing overall, but I still need something much cheaper for home
use.

Thanks,
Dan

[Asterisk-Users] Transfer incomplete when MOH enabled

2003-05-30 Thread Marcus Adolfsson
Title: Message



Potential Bug? CSV 
as of yesterday.

Scenario: When Music 
on Hold is enabled, initiating a transfer from a Cisco 7960 using its built in 
transfer function (either transfer or blind transfer) to an analog phone on a 
TDM10B, the transfer is not sucessfull.

The analog phone 
rings, and the Cisco phone indicates that the transfer is 
completed. But on the analog phone there isjust emptiness, and the calling 
party continues to hear the on hold music. 

# transfers works 
fine, and the built-in transfer functions work fine when on hold music is not 
enabled.

I'll answer this since I just had mine installed and went through this. 

Signalling comes in just a few options at the base level and is specific
to the T1 transport. Your options are ESF or D4 for framing, and AMI or
B8ZS for error detection.

Your PRI rides on top of the T1 transport. In the PRI your DIDs are
passed as part of the call setup in Q.931 packets on the D channel.
Specifically you will place all your incoming PRI lines into a context
in extentions.conf and then you will make extensions with the incoming
phone numbers or part there of if your telco provider isn't sending the
whole called number. In these extension deffinitions you can redirect
the calls to either the appropriate IVR menu, or an internal extention.

Hey Tan,

I don't think was discussed in the past discussion so I'd appreciate your
comments...

I opted for a single snom 100 to test because we wanted to use the headset
and I was told the 200 doesn't yet have headset support, despite the sockets
being there. This is coming shortly apparently.

Anyway, the support for the headset on the 100 is really bugging me. You can
dial off-hook and then press a button to switch from speaker to headset but
as soon as the call is answered it reverts and you have someone shouting
hello across the office.

We want users to use the handset for infrequent use but the headset more
commonly and in an open-plan office don't want the first few seconds of
every call being broadcast.

Am I missing a setting on the 100 to make the headset selection more
permanent? Does the 200 support headsets after all? Properly?

Many thanks,
Simon

[Asterisk-Users] ACD

2003-05-30 Thread Jim Friedeck
Good day,

   Our installation needs a robust ACD application (as I'm sure others 
do) that can be dynamically reconfigured (if possible) maybe by a MySQL 
database. I have looked at Bill Heckel's ACD work and Andreas Otto's 
DynExtendb as well as James Sharp's ACD. None of these seem to be quite 
finished. Is there a chance a unified (* blessed) ACD application can be 
put together by those who know how? My knowledge of the Asterisk API is 
next to zero and the time to learn it would be prohibitivly long much 
less relearning C.
   Multiple groups with overlapping agents are a requirement as is 
roundrobin (per group), next available, and longest time since last call 
answered (per group). Anybody's input on this would be appreciated.
   Asterisk has worked out fine in our test environment and we are 
needing this for deployment to replace our existing proprietary system. 
Thanks for your time.

regarding the Dlink device, I think that there is not a real FXO port, more

It just switch one of the phone t the PSTN line.

[Asterisk-Users] Outbound calls bridging

2003-05-30 Thread pradeep kumar
Hi All,

With the help and patience of this forum, I have been able to set my 
asterisk box to make outbound
calls to iconnecthere. My intention is to make two such calls and bridge 
them( three way calling) . Based on a earlier suggestion, I have created two 
accounts with iconnect and have successfully registered both the accounts 
from asterisk. I am having difficulty in setting my extension.conf to make 
two calls on the iconnect channels and brige them. Any help is greatly 
appreciated. If there is another way to do this please let me know.

Thanks
Pradeep

Move the group=2  above your other channel definitions, and remove the

because you redefine the channels with only the last callerID.

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk IAX over VSAT satellite.

2003-05-30 Thread Jim Ockers
Hi all,

For some reason VSAT or Satellite Internet services are not mentioned
(or searchable) in this list's archives.  I thought I'd let you know 
that I tested Asterisk using IAX (not IAX2) to make a phone call from 
an analog phone hooked up to an Asterisk system behind a Linksys router 
connected to a Gilat VSAT satmodem, and it worked.

The other end (gateway) is a P200MMX with a X100P FXO card.  I have
bi-directional calling set up so that the VSAT-phone can make outbound 
calls using the X100P in the gateway, and if the X100P gets a ring it 
answers and transfers the call to the analog phone on the other side 
of the VSAT.

There is about a 1-2 second propagation delay in voice from the VSAT
phone, as expected.  The echo is not bad at all, and the voice quality
is quite good.

I don't think the VSAT network was very busy so I don't know how well
this will work if the available bandwidth is less.  We are not using the
G.729 codec - just gsm.  I have tos=reliable set in iax.conf.  I didn't
get disconnected during my test calls, but they weren't very long in
duration.

I haven't tried a fax but maybe I will.

Anyway congratulations Mark et al on your fine work making such a robust
VoIP system.  Thanks!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] CalledID by channel difficulties

2003-05-30 Thread Jeremy McNamara
The zapata.conf file is parsed from the top down, so Asterisk uses the 
value since the last channel keyword.

so Asterisk really only sees: 

callerid=The Joker 1002
group=2
channel=3-6 ;TDM10B
in your zapata.conf file

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk IAX over VSAT satellite.

2003-05-30 Thread Simon Woodhead
Hey Jim,

All sounds good.

We tried a satellite system here a few months ago but couldn't get on with
it. Glad you've had more success. In theory, it shouldn't matter whether the
TCP/IP link between your sites is going over satellite, modem or any other
medium but the issues we found with satellite that would be particularly
damaging for VoIP were as follows:

- Latency. You're onto this one already by the sounds of it. We were seeing
750ms pings so you're looking at delays of around 1 second; 1.5-2 seconds
for someone to hear what you've said and reply. That doesn't prevent a
conversation but might make it sound a little strange to the other party who
doesn't know what is going on.

- Upstream. We had a system with 2Mbps downstream but since the upstream is
the expensive part for providers to provide it is usually much much
smaller - ours was only 128k. That is one call for many codecs without
allowing for any other use you'll be making of the line. G.729 would improve
this a lot as you've spotted.

- Drop-outs. A satellite system should theoretically provide continuous
service like a leased line or modem connection so you shouldn't get call
dropouts. However, we found that we'd lose all connectivity from our
provider for several seconds at a time. It could have been a peculiarity of
the way they were prioritising traffic, routing, excessive contention or
even the non-TCP/IP method for the dishsatdish part of the link but it
seems whenever other customers were making heavy downloads others would slow
down to just a few bps or drop out completely. That wouldn't be good for the
quality of any calls in progress even if the connection was maintained.

I'm not meaning to be negative or dash your enthusiasm but if I had a choice
of links to do VoIP over, satellite would be at the bottom, even below
modems. Our experience could be unique of course and if you own both ends of
the link then you have far more control over the issues I've mentioned,
other than latency of course.

All the best,
Simon

Martin,

 What bandwidth do you have available for you connection (upstream and
 downstream)? Do you have any CIR for VSAT connection ?

I think we have 400Kbps downstream and 56-112Kbps upstream.  No CIR that
I know of, it's first come first served for the bandwidth, and it's all
shared all the time as far as I know.  

However it's pretty good broadband service and definitely usable for 
interactive stuff like webex or ssh, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised 
that it works OK for VoIP as well.

I would like to take advantage of my soundcard/OSS system but so far 
haven't come on to examples of what the specs would look like, 
particularly for bridging a call onto the console.

Also I wonder whether the kernel version of OSS works all right for 
this, as opposed to the official OSS commercial product.

Thanks in advance for any pointers that might be forthcoming.

 AMI is lossy.  When the ones density in the signal is too low, AMI
 will insert ones to ensure that the far end does not lose sync.

As I understand it, AMI is not lossy but will may cause problems due to
not maintaining 1's density. 1's density is used to make sure both sides
are synced up properly. B8ZS is AMI except that it introduces bipolar
violoations to make sure the line doesn't stay in an off state for too
long.

So B8ZS intentionally throws errors on the line in a known manner so as
to make sure each side is in sync, but AMI does not care if the line
goes all 0's for a while.

I still haven't been able to dig up any documentation to back up that
AMI is lossy, just maybe prone to errors via slips.

I've just called my telephony provider and reliaze that the zaptel's signaling bits 
was inverted.
The provider adjusted his bits and I could make a call.

by the way, how can I configure the signaling bits?

In a PRI, since the signalling is in the D channel, and the consecutive
B channels could be completely clear, you could run into times with more
than 15 consecutive zeros. Although I need to do more looking at how D4
or ESF lays on top of a T1 signal. Anyways, with more than 15
consectuives zeros you no longer are within ANSI spec.

On a RBS circuit it would be less likely to fall too far out of spec
using AMI.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk IAX over VSAT satellite.

2003-05-30 Thread Chad Wicker
Remember that a ping is round trip so the other user should only
experience a 325ms delay on a 650ms circuit.  What you would be
expieriecing is the overlap in conversations as a result of the delay. 
i.e. when someone stops talking, it takes about 300ms for the other side
to start getting the pause and then 300 more ms for the persons responce
to get back to the original speaker.  

While there are many other pitfalls to VoIP and TCP-IP over satellite
(I can expond on many of them as I work for a company in the buisiness)
it still is a viable option in many situations.  Mobile sites, remote
locations, maritime, quick responce and many other unique situations
make satellite a very viable option for many users.

As far as dropouts are concerned,  a well designed satellite system can
operate at 99.995% availability or more.  For licencing concerns, Ku is
prefered over C.  Most systems sold as consumer systems are also sharing
bandwidth which would cause some additional concerns for the importance
of the data being transported.  (I can expound if anyone is interested.)
 I have a testbed up here constantly and can go for about a month before
noticing any downtime.

Hey Jim,

All sounds good.

We tried a satellite system here a few months ago but couldn't get on
with
it. Glad you've had more success. In theory, it shouldn't matter
whether the
TCP/IP link between your sites is going over satellite, modem or any
other
medium but the issues we found with satellite that would be
particularly
damaging for VoIP were as follows:

- Latency. You're onto this one already by the sounds of it. We were
seeing
750ms pings so you're looking at delays of around 1 second; 1.5-2
seconds
for someone to hear what you've said and reply. That doesn't prevent a
conversation but might make it sound a little strange to the other
party who
doesn't know what is going on.

- Upstream. We had a system with 2Mbps downstream but since the
upstream is
the expensive part for providers to provide it is usually much much
smaller - ours was only 128k. That is one call for many codecs without
allowing for any other use you'll be making of the line. G.729 would
improve
this a lot as you've spotted.

- Drop-outs. A satellite system should theoretically provide
continuous
service like a leased line or modem connection so you shouldn't get
call
dropouts. However, we found that we'd lose all connectivity from our
provider for several seconds at a time. It could have been a
peculiarity of
the way they were prioritising traffic, routing, excessive contention
or
even the non-TCP/IP method for the dishsatdish part of the link but
it
seems whenever other customers were making heavy downloads others would
slow
down to just a few bps or drop out completely. That wouldn't be good
for the
quality of any calls in progress even if the connection was
maintained.

I'm not meaning to be negative or dash your enthusiasm but if I had a
choice
of links to do VoIP over, satellite would be at the bottom, even below
modems. Our experience could be unique of course and if you own both
ends of
the link then you have far more control over the issues I've
mentioned,
other than latency of course.

All the best,
Simon

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk IAX over VSAT satellite.


 Hi all,

 For some reason VSAT or Satellite Internet services are not
mentioned
 (or searchable) in this list's archives.  I thought I'd let you know
 that I tested Asterisk using IAX (not IAX2) to make a phone call
from
 an analog phone hooked up to an Asterisk system behind a Linksys
router
 connected to a Gilat VSAT satmodem, and it worked.

 The other end (gateway) is a P200MMX with a X100P FXO card.  I
have
 bi-directional calling set up so that the VSAT-phone can make
outbound
 calls using the X100P in the gateway, and if the X100P gets a ring
it
 answers and transfers the call to the analog phone on the other side
 of the VSAT.

 There is about a 1-2 second propagation delay in voice from the VSAT
 phone, as expected.  The echo is not bad at all, and the voice
quality
 is quite good.

 I don't think the VSAT network was very busy so I don't know how
well
 this will work if the available bandwidth is less.  We are not using
the
 G.729 codec - just gsm.  I have tos=reliable set in iax.conf.  I
didn't
 get disconnected during my test calls, but they weren't very long in
 duration.

 I haven't tried a fax but maybe I will.

 Anyway congratulations Mark et al on your fine work making such a
robust
 VoIP system.  Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] Strange Issue with connected TA 750

2003-05-30 Thread Bisker, Scott (7805)
Hello All,

I'm having a weird problem when connecting up to a TA 750 from adtran.  The
problem I'm seeing is that the third wire on my 66 block is behaving as the
tip (or ring) for every extension.  Is this indicative of a bad BCU?  The
only extension that works properly is extension Zap 2.   Every other
extension is crossed with Zap 2.  Very weird.

Anyone see this before?  Did I get a bum BCU?  Also, when performing a ring
test from the admin port of the 750, the same behavior is present.

Any ideas on this one?

Thanks in advance.

you sure you don't have a multiplying block (I use the nordx stuff but I am

did this once accidentally, and was so pissed when I realized the problem, 
I made sure that block would never get used again.

I check the product id every time now before I punch down anything.

You are right, Steve. AMI isn't lossy. It stands for alternate mark 
inversion. It simply forces more transitions into the stream to ensure 
good sync at the receiver. With the way old T1s worked this was good 
enough to ensure sync., as the content of these T1s was always voice, 
and not completely arbitrary. With ISDN, or other data applications, 
which carry completely arbitrary content as well as voice, you really 
need a more robust sync scheme. This caused changes in both E1s and T1s. 
E1s got CRC4 to ensure robust frame sync. T1s got 8BZS to ensure robust 
bit sync.

An ISDN T1 *should* be using 8BZS, but isn't always. Similarly, an ISDN 
E1 *should* be using CRC4 framing, but some countries insist on the 
older flakier framing mechanism for some odd reason.

I think the confusion about lossy T1s probably relates to the robbed bit 
signalling that is generally used on non-ISDN T1s. This does, of course, 
lose a little of the 64kbps channel in a rather PITA way.

Steve

[Asterisk-Users] aastra pt480 and adsi

2003-05-30 Thread Joe Antkowiak
Ok, so I figured out my problem with my pt480s.  But, now I have a few more.

1. When I dial into the voicemailmain or voicemailmain2 application, the
phone and * start talking adsi, but then the phone tells me programming
download canceled, services is full., but my services list isn't full, only
Asterisk PBX occupies slot 2, slots 1, 3 and 4 are available.  Any ideas?
I have tried erasing all the services programmed in, and reloading them with
ADSIProg, or even before that trying voicemail, but the same thing always
happens.

2. I can't seem to get call waiting id to work.  I hear the adsi tones on
the line when another call is coming in, but the phone doesn't seem to
recognize it.  Any ideas?

3. Is there a list or some documentation somewhere on what all the available
adsi programming options there are, that I can use in .adsi files?

Thanks.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] External FXO device (USB or ethernet), supported by Asterisk?

2003-05-30 Thread Dan
Hi Jim,

This is an interesting product, especially for Cisco ATA-186 users..they can
use one of the FXS ports to connect to the PSTN, but. you have a very
limited functionality: when you call the phone number allocated to that
specific port, you will get the tone for the PSTN line and can dial. When a
call came from the PSTN, you will get an internal tone and can dial as a
regular internal user.

One idea is to allocate to that specific extension the prefix for the PSTN
calls as extension number.
Then you can call PSTN by dialing that prefix and then the number, with a
sgort break.

Overall. this is something that make sense to use for some specific
purposes.

Thanks for this info,
Dan

AFACS. Below is the Status output - it shows Response, Message, \r\n, Status 
post, \r\n, Status post etc etc. Without a parsable terminator, I need to use 
some select/poll interfaces, and I just don't like that :P

May I suggest changing the \r\n between status (and other) output sections to 
something like '---\r\n'?

[Asterisk-Users] External Directory Button and Dial tone on Cisco 7960 (SIP)

2003-05-30 Thread Ben Bosshardt
Has anyone found a solution how to use the directory button on the Cisco
7960? 
If configured correctly it should point to an external directory url. So far
I
failed to find any documentation regarding the format to set up a phone
directory 
on my asterisk server.  

How can the dial tones on a CISCO 7960 be modified? Compared to the ATA 186,
I 
could not find any settings that make a change possible.

Thank you for your help
Ben

[Asterisk-Users] IAXTEL testing

2003-05-30 Thread Jamie Carl



Hi
all,

Just a quick
one. Should I be able to call myself through IAXTEL using my 1700
number? I'm behind a NAT firewall and can call other numbers, I just want
to test incoming calls somehow to make sure I can accept them from
IAXTEL.

Regards,Jamie Carl

RE: [Asterisk-Users] manager interface change request

I concur! It would also help in parsing out the occasional junk I get on the
socket. 
(I'm currently writing a wxwindows version of gastman)
Also... I'm still not sure wheter I can be absolutely sure that the

Yes, it works pretty well and has message waiting indication.
and has rfc2833 if you apply a workaround.


But you need:

- Patch to replay contact address as is
  * usually replies his own address in contact header
... this shall be corrected by Asterisk
  all-chan_sip_030524.diff

- Patch that provides a workaround for message waiting
  indication in rtp.c. This patch is just copied from a
  previous workaround for Cisco.

  This seems to be a problem of the OptiPoint 400.
  ... Siemens currently looks at the issue and
  may has a solution soon.
  rtp.c-op400-2833-workaround.diff

in sip.conf it looks like:

[3999]
type=friend
username=3999
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=rfc2833
callerid=3999 3999
mailbox=3999
context=SIPorig

BTWY:
 What version has your Optipoint SIP-SW?
...mine is 1.1.4; I'm waiting for 2.0

Re: [Asterisk-Users] chan_capi request

2003-05-30 Thread Klaus-Peter Junghanns
morning roy,

yes, it's possible. the settings will move into the global section
in 0.2.2.

actually there is a use for a per-device gain configuration. you might
like to have a capi device for outgoing calls to SCREAM at people
(txgain=10) ... ;-)
but i will add an option in the global section (so that the device
setting overrides the global option).

regards

 is it hard/possible to move the following from chan_capi_pvt.h into a setting 
 (preferably global) in capi.conf?
 
 #define AST_CAPI_NATIONAL_PREF  0
 #define AST_CAPI_INTERNAT_PREF  00
 
 and ...
 
 Is it hard to move or copy the txgain and rxgain to [global], either as a 
 given 'default' if nothing's set in the interfaces, or as a overall global. I 
 just can't see the use of setting gain on individual interfaces

Hi,

 How can the dial tones on a CISCO 7960 be modified? Compared to the ATA
186,
 I
 could not find any settings that make a change possible.
Go to Settings  SIP configuration 9 (Out of Band DTMF)
You can choose between avt, avt_allways  and none

[Asterisk-Users] A Major Problem!

2003-05-30 Thread Surajee Ratnayake



hi,

we are experiecing the following probem, if anybody 
have come across such a problem or a solution to this please let us 
know.
our set up is, an 
Asterisk server equipped with,4 port 
station interface card,single port fxo card and several soft sip 
phones
we have found problems with the following 
scenarios,

outside caller (calling through fxo interface) 
-- sip phone/ station interface 
phone

  



   calls to a 
conference
outside caller (calling through fxo 
interface)--- 
confernce

the problem is, once the outside caller(calling 
through fxo interface) disconnects the line, Asterisk does not detects the 
disconnection, other party can hear the 'engage like tone' coming from the other 
side.This continues till the other party(probalby 
the sip phone or the station interface phone) hangs up. If the fxo user was in a 
conference if he disconnets the line, other confencees can here the 'engage like 
tone' , this is very disturbing. The biggest problem is, the fxo line remains 
busy, till the sip/station phone user disconnects the line. Can anybody give us 
a solution for this.

In thenear future, we are going to add some 
E1 lines too(with E400P cards), once this is done, will the above call 
disconnection problem occur in that configuration too..or is this a common 
problem only with analog ?

Thank you very much,
Surajee
