Personally, I'm on the verge of buying some SwissVoice handsets, simply because the mix of feature-set, price, and build quality seems to be untouchable. The GrandStreams are about the same price, but the build quality looks cheap and plastic - the IP10 actually looks like a business telephone.

Basically, I'm after the most powerful interface possible to Asterisk, but trying to make it as friendly as possible to code things against. As far as our organization is concerned, that pretty much means Java objects. So you bought that line of Marketecture didn't you. I think there are several large open source projects that prove that C is maintainable. Maintainability is really a function of organization. If you can't be organized, you will not produce very maintainable C code. Stop it right there. This mailing list isn't the place for language holy wars. Java is the tool of choice for our organization, and therefore Java code is more maintainable within it. Everyone here talks Java. Not everyone talks C. If we hire less good programmers, Java hold their hand and enforces structure in a way that C doesn't. I'm not arguing that decent C code isn't maintainable. I'm stating that in our particular case, Java fits the bill better. It's that simple. As for this: It all comes down to the number of CPU cycles needed to perform a given function. When doing real time processing, a few cycles here and a few there can add up to make a real difference. Object Oriented is nice for ease of writing/maintaining code but all of those objects have blocks of code behind them. A slight inefficiency there can really impact performance. Sure we have faster processors and lower cost memory every 6 months but thats no excuse for not writing the most efficient code possible. You're entirely wrong. Provided it's fast enough, it's all about maintainability, extensibility and scalability. The bottom line is that we're in it to make money. If it runs on hardware that's $100 cheaper, but takes four times as long to develop, then total cost is much higher. If it's easy to repurpose it at a later date, or easier to have someone unfamiliar with the codebase to come along and customize it, that's worth a lot. Both are significant, but maintainability is much more important than performance, as that's where the real cost lies. -- Alastair ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk behind LinkSys NAT Routing
This looks to me like the approach that Pingtel took for NAT. I think it is a good option to have but having STUN as an additional option is really what we want. You can find an implementation of a STUN library and apps at www.vovida.org. The External IP approach has some flaws and can be a pain to configure for people that do not know what is actually being done with this data. I will try to explain this since I have to test this stuff on vendor phones every day... SIP is a text-based protocol which means that address information is embedded in each SIP message as "text". Unfortunately, most routers, etc. do not have a SIP ALG so the address information in the UDP or TCP connections get corrected through the NAT function, the payload which in this case is SIP and SDP (RTP setup messages) do not get translated. The other end of the call outside your private network sees your private IP addresses and cannot route to them. External IP basically says "put this address in the SIP and SDP messages instead of my private address". The problem here is that if your lease is up on your ISP connection and the renew gives you another address, you're out of business until you update your settings. The other thing is, you must port forward your SIP port (usually 5060) and every incoming RTP/RTCP port pairs from the NAT router to Asterisk. STUN is pretty simple and works well. This feature actually queries a STUN server on the public side and askes what does your external IP and port look like. It also determines the level of IP security that your are using. (Read the RFC on STUN, it is usefull) You don't have to port forward anything because STUN enabled devices take advantage of the ALG in most firewalls that maps incoming traffic back to the app (Asterisk in this case) if the packets arrive at the same address/port that packets just went out. If the connection is idle for more than a set number of seconds, the mapping is automatically deleted. This is why you see the devices "pinging" each other every so often. This allows an incoming call to reach the SIP port. Having BOTH External IP and STUN would give us the greatest flexibility because if we didn't have a STUN server on the other end we could manually set it. Martin Pycko wrote: It's new. It prevents asterisk from putting the private IP in the messages that asterisk sends with SIP.

What this means is that you have to put nat=yes BEFORE any subchannel definitions: This works: nat=yes line => aaln/1 line => aaln/2 line => aaln/3 line => aaln/4 This doesn't: line => aaln/1 line => aaln/2 line => aaln/3 line => aaln/4 nat=yes This makes sense if lines were treated as individual channels through NAT, but they aren't.

[Asterisk-Users] *, Fritz!PCI and strange behavior
I'm testing * (CVS-09/16/03-02:07:49 with zaprtc 0.0.1) with Fritz!PCI (chan_capi 0.3.0), and have a couple of funny things - I wonder if anyone else has seen them: - Now and then, * just exits. Until now I had lowish-level verbosity on, so all I saw was 'Executing last minute cleanups'. What can trigger * exits? (in other words, what should I pay attention to when attempting to debug this?) - Very often, after * runs for a while, it stops recognizing incoming ISDN calls and refuses to send out ISDN calls. The funny thing is, restarting * or CAPI doesn't work - I have to shutdown both, unplug and replug the ISDN cable, and then after startup everything works again.

If you think you will save some bits using G.723.1 instead of G.729, think again. The saving is minute, because of the huge overheads IP imposes. Regards, Steve I was measuring about 32-36 Kbit/s for a G.729 call, and around 20-22Kbit/s for G.723. This is at the DSL router, so it includes all of the overhead.

G.729 normally uses 20ms blocks. They are both usually sent with one block in each RTP packet. If you don't mind a little more latency, put two G.729 blocks into each RTP packet (I'm not sure if Asterisk supports that, but many things do). Then you have a packet every 40ms, a lower bit rate than G.723.1 and better voice quality.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] 4 X100P's, 4 7960's Same Box?
Cisco's CM can do the multiple line appearances, showing state. We could not ever get ringback on any phone except the extension that it was assigned to. Our workaround was to get a sidecar for each handset. With the side cars, you get colored lights that blink different colors for different call states. When it rang back, it would blink orange (I think) which was a visual cue that it needed to be picked up. I have not yet tried this with *, as I just left BYU to go to a small company with an annual IT budget of about a burger and 2 fries. But I know the skinny protocol is going to support it.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Red Alarm
An E1 can be a long way from the box with the right cable. However many people use the wrong cable. Using a LAN cable for an E1 often gives errors if the cable is more than just a few metres long. Although the plugs look the same, the twisted pairs should be grouped differently in an E1 cable, and it really makes a difference. If the drop cable is only a couple of metres long, a LAN cable is usually adequate. This is also true for T1s. Regards, Steve Bisker, Scott (7805) wrote: How far is your server from the telco box?

I think the problem may be related to call progress indication from the ISDN line. I have UK ISDN2e (packaged as Business Highway - which includes what is effectively a telco-owned TA with two analogue ports). I have noticed that outgoing channels getting tied up corresponds to placing a call which is terminated prematurely (e.g. hangup before completing dialing) or dialing a call which can't be completed because the dialed PSTN subscriber number is invalid. I've learned to live with it - but it would be great to get to the bottom of it. Patrick ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

So far we have only pointed out how to get your needs done without needing to go and rebuild everything that is already working and good within asterisk in a language that was never meant to be a realtime language. We are steering you a direction where it should be easiest to accomplish in a reliable manner, and where you will actually be able to get help.

If you pay a few $k more per year for a decent programmer or potentially have to fill racks of colospace to put more hardware in place, you end up cheaper at the programmer. (BTW, I am NOT saying you aren't a decent programmer because you use Java. I wanted to head off that potential complaint before it starts.) We all know that C runs on the smallest of hardware without needing special hardware. Java only runs on small hardware when it has specialized silicon. But, that is purely an academic argument above as your company is already way to committed to the road it is on to be bothered to change. And even if it did consider the change, you have already laid out enough information to know you are not going to be able to do this inexpensively. So instead you will spend a fair amount of time outside of the communities expertise writing a customized application that only a very small amount would be even interesting to the group(IAX library). Ultimately though, I have doubts that there would be much interest in the Java IAX client as there is such a great number of C programmers here as witnessed by the couple of new IAX phone software that has shown up recently. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Gavin Hamill wrote: Hullo again, all :) If you're using * to run telephony in a real business environment, can I trouble you to write a short paragraph about the setup, and how you've found the migration / daily use? Well, it's not technically a business, but we are running "*" for our research lab with the following hardware: 4 analog POTS lines ADTRAN TSU-600 FXO and FXS Plugins 20 GS budgetone 100, 2 Analog phones Asus A7V, 900MHz Athalon, 256 MB Ram, 60GB hard disk 100BaseT Ethernet environment using BayStack 450 switches Digium T100P RH9 APC Smart-Ups 700 Notes: The choice of the channel bank was based on the possibility of future expansion for handling several other labs (and the fact that I got is and 6-V.35 cards, which I', not using) for $99 on e-bay). The installed infrastructure for the phone system at our University dictated our choice of POTS lines. We were also not given any choice about the Baystack switches . The Budgetone phones are probably not the ideal solution for a larger installation (yet), but met our needs perfectly, perform very well and are easy to set up and install. The analog phones are to provide emergency service during power failures. The UPS is sized small because we have emergency power failover after about 30 seconds. The CPU and MOBO choices were based on experience with the products. A word of warning: Echo WILL be a potential problem on any system that has a transition point from POTS 2-wire lines to a TDM environment (see my previous posting). Here are some suggestions about dealing with it: 1) Use the highest possible CPU speed. Why: The single greatest problem with software echo cancellation is the computational intensity of the autocorrelation needed to determine the amount of echo at each discrete delay time. If the CPU is slow, the canceller will not be able to keep up with the real time nature of the computations. 2) Enable MMX options (assuming that you have a CPU which supports it). Why: Same as in item 1. In my case, this provided the single greatest improvement. 3) Lower the number of taps in the echo canceller. Why: While this may seem counter intuitive, since the number of taps determines the amount of delay the canceller can deal with, most of the time the delay you hear is much longer than the delay seen by the echo canceller. Decreasing the number of taps reduces the size of the autocorrelation and reduces the comptational load. This allows the canceller to learn faster and keep up more easily. 4) Turn off the KDE, etc. Why: Saves computation cycles for the echo cancellation. This is no joke, you can get on the phone, start up the desktop and hear the echo return. 5) Attempt to balance the hybrid at the 2-line to 4 line interface. Why: 99% of the time, this is where the echo originates and this is where is should be fixed. Unfortunately, this is not for the faint of heart, but if your line card has a hybrid balance adjustment (many don't), use it. Also, with multiple simultaneous calls, this may be the only real solution. Part of the problem arises from the use of lower impedance telephone wiring nowdays. The typical characteristic impedance of Cat5 twisted pair is about 100 ohms and many line cards are optimized for a 600 ohm line. This is made worse if the DC resistance of the wiring to the CO switch is relatively low. I haven't tried this myself, but you might try something as simple as a 500 ohm variable resistor in series with the ring line and adjust for minimum echo. If it gets worse, you haven't lost anything, just take the resistor out of the line. If it works, measure the value of the resistor when set for minimum echo and replace it with a fixed value resistor. 6) Try messing with Tx and Rx gains. Why: This is a reincarnation of the technique used to cancel echo on long lines in the early part of the 20th century. The idea is that the perception of echo gets worse as echo volume increases and as delay increases. You can sometimes reduce echo to an "acceptable" level if you attenuate it enough, especially if the echo canceller takes care of part of it. The problem is that you will likely run into unacceptably low volume levels. That's why this technique was abandoned by the PSTN: You've all seen the movies of people in the 1920's yelling into phones on long distance calls! Finally, while I had to do some head scratching and a lot of reading to get the system set up, I would have to say that the installation went without any major problems. Once configured, it runs flawlessly and requires very little maintainence. Steve Besch ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[Asterisk-Users] why does context order make a difference in IAX.CONF
so why does this work properly [iax-ll] type=friend context=iax-ll-in trunk=yes host=iax2.ll.com [iax-] type=friend auth=md5 secret=blahblah context=iax--in trunk=yes host=rx8..net and this doesn't [iax-] type=friend auth=md5 secret=blahblah context=iax--in trunk=yes host=rx8..net [iax-ll] type=friend context=iax-ll-in trunk=yes host=iax2.ll.com What happens is a call that comes in over IAX- gets dropped into the iax-l-in context if iax- is first in iax.conf ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] Transferring to Meetme
Hi all, I'm wanting to take an existing call, and transfer both sides of it into a meetme room (yes I know the phones have a conference ability built-in but humor me). What seems to happen is I can transfer one half of it fine, but as soon as I do that the other half hangs up. Do I have to park it briefly? If so, what does the call ID become once it's parked, so that I can subsequently transfer it to the meetme? All of this must be done through the management interface and not require users pushing any button.s Thanks. - Matt ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
