RE: [Asterisk-Users] T1-PRI deployment questions...

2003-06-02 Thread Don Pobanz
I have been on vacation so didn't jump in earlier. Some of what I say 
here has been gone over earlier in this thread but I will repeat the 
results as a summery.

AMI is not lossy, but it is almost always used in conjunction with a 
ones density technique called bit7. Bit7 will change bit 7 to a 1 when 
a word (8 bits) are all zeros. In North America when someone says AMI 
they really mean AMI with bit7. PRI ISDN will not work on an AMI (with 
bit7) T1.

When validating ones density B8ZS does introduce errors but in such a 
way that the far end will know that they are errors and remove them. 
The only reasonable choice for PRI ISDN is B8ZS

Robbed bit signaling uses bit 8 of each word of every 6th frame for 
signaling. This does not introduce errors on the line but it does make 
those bits unavailable for data. Usually data services assumes that the 
8th bit of every work of every frame are not available so that you have 
7 of each 8 bit word. That makes 56Kbit/s of 64Kbit/s of bandwidth 
available. PRI ISDN does not use Robbed bit signaling. Instead it uses 
the D channel.

Slips are caused by a timing problem and have nothing to do with AMI or 
B8ZS.

Framing of either SF (D4) or ESF can be used on a T1 regardless of the 
line coding. (some mistakenly believe that B8ZS must be used with ESF 
and AMI must be used with SF) ESF is preferred because more robust 
performance monitoring is possible while the T1 is in service.

Don Pobanz

Ps. For a while the group I worked with back at the phone company was 
known as 'T1s are us' so I should be familiar with this stuff.  ;)

[Asterisk-Users] Configuring spans

2003-06-02 Thread Tais M. Hansen
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

No matter what I configure my spans at (on a E400P) ztcfg -v always shows:

SPAN x:  D4/ AMI Build-out: 0 db (CSU)/0-133 feet (DSX-1)

Currently I've configured my spans as "ccs,hdb3,crc4", so shouldn't D4/AMI be 
showing "ccs/hdb3" instead?

[Asterisk-Users] Does anyone know how to get rid of this warning message?

2003-06-02 Thread Paul Cheng
Hi,

I searched the archives about this, but didn't find any references. 
When I make an outbound SIP call, the call completes and everything is 
fine, but in the Asterisk console, I keep getting a huge stream of 
warning messages:

"WARNING[1200876848]: File dsp.c, Line 1107 (ast_dsp_process): Unable 
to detect process 2 frames"

I thought I saw this in a post earlier, but I don't get it in the 
search. Does anyone know what needs to be set to stop these?

Thanks in advance.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] SIP & Caller ID & outgoing line

2003-06-02 Thread Johanna Kangas
Hi,
I have same problem with identification of the caller. Callerid in
sip.conf or LookupCIDName app in extensions.conf wont work. 
Also having 2 snom100`s dialing each others.

What`s the name of the problem?

-Johanna



Andy Powell wrote in Sat,03 May 2003:

Hi all

I have 2 snom 100's and an ix66 (sip aware firewall) set up with asterisk. I needed to 
register a number of lines so what I've done is make asterisk register all the lines i 
need (attaching them to an extention eg 1000) and then register each phone with 
asterisk. so for example 

in sip.conf:

register => [EMAIL PROTECTED]/1000
register => [EMAIL PROTECTED]/1000
register => [EMAIL PROTECTED]/1000

then each phone has an entry similar to this:

[phone1]
type=friend
;secret=blah
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=rfc2833; Choices are inband, rfc2833, or info
defaultip=192.168.172.189
mailbox=1000; Mailbox for message waiting indicator
context=sip
callerid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This all works fine, I can dial internally,externally and have voicemail. The problem 
lies in the identification of the caller.
When someone calls me, either internally or externally the caller id on the phone 
always says that the call is comming from asterisk@ as you can 
imagine, it's not much help. What I (and i guess others) need is a way to pass the 
REAL caller information to the phones. Although asterisk IS calling me it's only 
routing the call.  The other problem is what is my outgoing sip number in this 
situation? since I /will/ want to change which line I am calling from how can I go 
about that? Should I change my sip.conf so that each of the registered domains appears 
on a different extention, then register the phone with multiple connections one for 
each exten and then use the phone to set the outgoing line before dialing?

Any help appreciated here... (and a special thanks to all on IRC who have got me going)

many thanks

We use nagios. I happen to like nagios, since you can make all sorts of 
plugins yourself. it's just perl scripts (or basic, pascal, C, whatever 
programs) being executed at intervals. If something comes up (server crashes 
etc) you can fire off event handlers to restart stuff, you can tell asterisk 
to call someone and yell at them etc etc etc.

I'd split the two into one reporting / surveillence system and one manager 
(for manually restarting asterisk or similar). Or what do you think?

> I'm currently using zabbix (good but little plugin support).

See above for asterisk and plugins. Asterisk is generally a framework as 
compared to what I can see about zabbix. The bad thing about asterisk, is 
that changing the system's outfit isn't done in 10 minutes ...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] ISDN4Linux + Asterisk and Europe

2003-06-02 Thread Iain Stevenson
There has been a lot of discussion about ISDN BRI on the list - a search 
will turn up plenty of discussion!

You're right about there being a lot of ISDN cards available that are 
certified for use in Europe.  They fall into two categories - active and 
passive.  Passive cards are cheap and generally operate through ISDN4linux 
and asterisk's chan_modemi4l.  The reported disadvantages of this approach 
are:

- delay during calls
- echo (it's disputed what the cause of it is but it's a bit of a nuisance)
- call tones don't follow PSTN patterns.
The active cards (AVM is the major supplier, I think) are better.  If you 
get one with a CAPI interface then you can use the asterisk chan_capi 
driver.  I haven't any experience of this type of card - maybe someone else 
can provide feedback.

[Asterisk-Users] Voice Modem + Soundcard Driver

2003-06-02 Thread Anthony Wood
The problem with using Voice Modems is that they fall into two categories:

1) Hardware Modems which only have half-duplex transmission of voice
2) Soft/Win/Lin modems which are proprietry and don't have asterisk drivers

Please shoot down this recipe before I waste any time trying to acheive it:

Rationalisation:


In Australia and I assume other places, there is no
asterisk-compatible low-end hardware which is legal to use.
This could be a way to use existing certified hardware
with asterisk.

Ingredients:


2 Phone lines
2 Banksia Wave SP 336 Modems - these have 3.5mm female jacks for speaker/microphone
1 Full Duplex Soundcard
4 3.5mm mono male-male audio cables
2 3.5mm stereo male -> 3.5mm female left + 3.5mm female right adapters
1 Linux Box with 2 serial ports and spare PCI slot for Full Duplex sound card.
Asterisk
Programmer

Method:
---

Plug modems into phone lines and serial ports as per normal
Plug adapters into lineout and linein of sound card

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Zapata 3.3v PCI version...

I second the question and request.
There are more and more server class machines that won't take the old PCI cards at all.

Does anyone know if there are any plans for Zapata or anyone else for that matter to 
come out with a 3.3v PCI version or PCI-X version of those cards?

[Asterisk-Users] Call Transfer Problem

2003-06-02 Thread Surajee Ratnayake




hi All,
 
We are working on Soft-PBX using Asterisk.  
This relates to CALL TRANSFERRING aspects of Asterisk.
 
We were able to do one type of call transfering, 
ie, the called person can transfer the original call to another 
person.
 
but we were unable to do the other, that is, call 
initiator him/her self couldn't transfer the call. Eventhough the documentation 
for Dial application intructs to use "T" to achieve that.
and we learnt that it has not been implemented yet 
in Asterisk. Is this true? 
Is some one workin on this issue? if the answer is 
NO, we can give a try to implement it, with a help of u all , ofcourse 
:-)
 (cos, we are quite new to asterisk-only 1 
month of experience, but amazed of its great performance)
 
Thank you very much,
 
Surajee

I seem to remember someone recently offering up free british toll free
access via an ata186 and a box either the same one mentioned here or
similar on the FWD list. If you browse the archives there you should see
what people thought of the experience, and/or contact the person to see
what type of longer term satisfaction they had.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Fax support over MGCP, H323 and SIP in asterisk

Asterisk doesn't care what audio you pass over those protocols. Your
problems will be due to packetization and transport adding delay to the
audio stream. You also will not be able to use any compression for this
type of call. So you take your risks and possibly will have to deal with
aborted faxes due to modem disconnections.

If you can, put the modem at the phone line termination and use
something like hylafax to move the images over IP.

[Asterisk-Users] ISDN4Linux + Asterisk and Europe

2003-06-02 Thread Piotr Adamiak
Hello,

Anyone on this group using / implementing * and hardware certified for 
use in Europe ? I believe that ISDN4Linux cards mostly have telecomm 
certificates, so using them should be safe on the client side. Are there 
any major issues / problems associated with using such cards with * ?
I am talking about a small / very small office with single - few lines.

All the best,

Piotr Adamiak

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Forcing intermachine codecs ?

2003-06-02 Thread Brian Capouch
Jeremy McNamara wrote:> A working example for restricting codec's by peer
[general]

trunk=yes
host=switch-1.nufone.net

I have this iax.conf setup on many of the customer boxes I babysit. This 
way they can use any codec they want for other user's or peer's, but 
force everything to iLBC when calling out to NuFone.  This works the 
same with SIP, but not H.323. I haven't personally tested MGCP, since it 
uses SDP I would guess it should work also.
I added those entries to my contexts for NuFone, and everything works 
just fine.

So I added them to the rest of my iax.conf contexts, most of which move 
calls around between my three different asterisk instances.

But for whatever reason, my IAX2 calls to everywhere else all go with 
"format=4"

I'm not sure which side is dominant. . .Here is a typical entry from the 
CLI on "my side:"

-- Called foo:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/6060
-- Call accepted by 1.2.3.4 (format 4)
-- Format for call is 4
And on the other:

   -- Accepting AUTHENTICATED call from 5.6.7.8, requested format = 4, 
actual format = 4
-- Executing Dial("[EMAIL PROTECTED]:4569]/1", "Zap/2/BYEXTENSION") 
in new stack

I have put the disallow/allow clauses in every context that is used by 
my servers, and I've checked that all the asterisk instances have the 
same version and the ilbc modules.

What am I doing wrong?

Thx.

B.

The 4 port cards are actually modular. It is a backplane and
daughtercards to hook the phone jacks to the system. There has been an
anouncment that they plan on releasing the FXO daughterboards. I believe
the last I heard was they are going through the approval process.

I think the plan is for it to be mix and match when the FSO cards are
available.
