[Asterisk-Users] SIP nat not working with budgetone (long)

I've been looking at how our budgetone's have been failing and have found the 
following:

Let me stress that the following interface is configured as a world-visible public IP.

It looks like the audio packets aren't being sent to the right IP address in the 
latest sip code. I dug around a little in chan_sip.c but couldn't find where the wrong 
IP was passed on.

Sorry if this is long winded. Just trying to help get to the bottom of this.

Those are the involved files :

in ./apps
-rw-r--r--1 root root37529 Oct 30 20:13 localtime.c

in localtime.c this is the only place where ast_localtime is present:

struct tm *
ast_localtime(timep, p_tm, zone)
const time_t * consttimep;
struct tm *p_tm;
const char * const  zone;

Any other idea?

In order to keep the window as small as possible and still have the full
functionality, the form is changed depend on current status.
When you're in a call, you can not dial another number, so this is the
reason that the memories are not available.

You must take a closer look at the functionality. The two function buttons
depend (again) on the cuirrent status.
They can display DIAL/DELETE, HANGUP/-, REDIAL/-, REJECT/-
When you start enter a number using keypad, after the first digit you et the
DELETE button too, in order to be able to correct the numbet. Each click on
this button deletes the last digit.
When the number is dialed from the memory, DELETE button delete the whole
number.
I cannot imagine something simpler than that...

Please check it closer. I still work on the detailed help file which will be

In this moment, the phone is very close in functionality with a full
featured single line analog phone (with callerid, callwaiting, callwating
callerid, and so on)
I do not see an imediate reason to have more than one line for a standar
phone.
Do you?

OK, let me get this straight.  Because the Asterisk voicemail menu is
fault tolerant and lets you undo a delete, it's therefore unacceptable.
I don't think the OP said it was unacceptable, just that it wasn't as 
configurable as they would like and they considered that a con. I can 
sympathise - the voicemail system is complicated.

I can punch through all the messages in my mobile phone voicemail with 
three keys. 1 plays the message again, 2 saves it, 3 deletes it. If I 
save or delete a message it automatically advances to the next one. In 
comparison, the Asterisk voicemail program is a dog. Having complex 
functionality is fine as long as the basic functionality isn't made 
obscure.

And before you accuse me of being unable to handle moderately complex 
systems as well. The point the OP was making is that it's not 
*configurable* not that it's too hard. If I choose to have a simpler 
system - or more importantly choose for all the users at an 
installation to have a simpler system - I can't do that.

Is it necessary (with reasonably current cvs) to make any changes in the

Yup. Probably the biggest two sensitive items are disks and fans. The
latter can easily be redundanized and are in any well-designed
rack-mount box, and by employing SCSI disks or at least the more
expensive IDE disks, you can get good scores there as well. 

On our 14 server machines we've had 4 disk failures (only 1 of them
in a non-RAID, so that was downtime - but we keep spares, so that was
only a couple of hours) and zero fan failures since jan 2001, when
they were taken into production. Of course, the hosting environment
(21.5 deg. centigrade, controlled humidity, filtered air) will help a
lot here. I can imagine getting 96% if you put your server in an office
environment where people smoke and the cleaning lady now and then bumps
against it with the vacuum cleaner. YMMV.

Most downtime has been due to OS-level issues. And that's because we're
trying to squeeze too much out of too little hardware ;-). The boxes
that have been doing just one or two things typically go down only for
an OS upgrade.

Yeah, there was talk a while back about the whole user interface thing for
Comedian Mail and especially how it works compared to other systems, what
could be done to make migration easier for the users etc. There were some
good threads, check the archives, but chances are not much has changed.

I guess you could write your own voicemail system, use AGI or dive headlong
in to changing the existing Voicemail2 app if you're in to the C thing.

Ultimately it would be really nice if there was an Asterisk flavoured
voicemail that could also be totally configured the way you want it,
including a bunch of sample configs for other legacy voicemail systems,
Octel, Meridian Mail etc..

I have been running asterisk on an old PowerMac 9600 and YellowDog Linux 
for about a year now.  Asterisk software builds fine most of the time - 
there seem to be some trivial issues with the Makefiles for codecs at the 
moment.

I have an X100P card as the PSTN interface.  I suspect that the interface 
cards are likely to be your biggest problem - drivers supporting big endian 
systems are needed.  I don't know whether all the Digium drivers do.  ISDN 
cards from AVM and Eicon are not suitable for PPC Linux.

Hello Javier,
If I understand you correctly, you want to translate the sound files

There is information on the WIki about this, start with the page

[Asterisk-Users] 6.0 image for Cisco 7960's?

2003-11-06 Thread John Todd
Has anyone managed to get their hands on a 6.0 image for their 7960's 
yet?  Or is it still in beta?

Rumor (official rumor, from Cisco) is that it supports paging and 
intercom.  I'm anxious to start working with those features, if 
they've been implemented sanely.  What would be just as nice would be 
NOTIFY messages for pushing XML URL's to the phones, but sadly that 
feature request has gone uncommented-upon by Cisco, so I will assume 
the worst...

Nice one - I'm already a strong Open-Source pedant, and our business is
built on Apache/Perl/MySQL, etc. 

I'm quite aware of these points (most of them are already included in my

questions the mgmt will ask, and I can't produce a recommendation
without enev mentioning the 'bad points' :)

[Asterisk-Users] chan_capi

2003-11-06 Thread Nick Knight
Hello All,

 

I have been using chan_capi with eicon diva server 4 Bri for a few
months now and been very happy with the results. I have now got a small
problem. I needed to upgrade - get more lines in - during an office
move. So we moved office and landed with 3 ISDN2e lines.

 

I can place calls perfectly. Problem is Asterisk is only receiving calls
on 1 channel - so effectively I am only getting 1 out of 3 calls (BT ran
some protocol tests on the line). The ISDN lines are setup to all share
the same number.

 

I have adjusted capi.conf from

Yes, I have often wondered about this - if we have a single RJ45

the other machine?

OK.. so you're talking about a 'PRI switch' that only passes data
through to one of the PBXs on the other side... I wonder how such a
switch is informed of which PBX to use? Heartbeat via serial/LAN? From
both machines I'd imagine?

Just curious - since the HA will be a major plus-point for us - the
Inter-Tel Axxess system we currently use has had fairly appalling
results and regular failures.

Of course, neither our PBX reseller will admit their hardware is faulty,
nor will the phone company admit there is any fault on the PRI.. yet we
still experience downtime and lost business. 

At least with * we can see line errors ourselves.

Amen to that, and it's the reason why I believe * to be the right choice
for us simply due to the flexibility it leaves us with.. one enormous
server with full Linux HA - or two decent machines, each with their own
PRIs...

Cheers,
Gavin.

RE:[Asterisk-Users] New Phone Review: Clipcomm 101

2003-11-06 Thread Rafael Gonzalez Lomeña
HI,

   be carefull with this phone !

   I am several issues when use this phone with * (and h323 or oh323).

   We report to Korean's manufacturer few week ago a doc with this fails:


 1º. PUSHING THE "HOLD" KEY, we listen to a music on hold ... but we cannot
 make a new call to a different extension or recover another call.

 2º. In Asterisk it is defined the service "*01" for a task ... if we dial
 "*01" at your phone, Asterisk doesn´t recognize the "*01" dialling.

 3º. TRANSFER CALL doesn´t work using "Transfer KEY".

 Instead of transfering the call, it stops the comunication and dial
 to the extension dialed.

 4º. If we use Asterisk "Transfer" functionallity, (dialling "#" followed by
 the extension...),

 instead of a transfer a multi conference takes place ...

 (then if the phone who transfered the call hangs down the every party lose
 the conversation ... it might be Asterisk´s fault, or it might be normal).

 5º.  If we make previous test several times, and a normal call is made
 after, it crash down, showing the message:
 ### Error ! ###
 nix/tlibthrd.cxx
 line:496
 Exit is called

 Then we have to reset the terminal.

 6º. If we make a phone call to a "crashed phone", then your terminal do
also
 "crash" (got frozen), showing the same message.


  At this moment, CLIPCOMM101 is not a good idea.

Rafael.

I have never looked at this package so I've never read any docs for it,
buy my guess is you need to set the 'uniqueid' column to have flag
"auto_increment". Then every time a new record is added, no value is set
for this field, because MySQL will allocate a new unique value
automatically.

Hi
Is it possible (or recommended) to run both Asterisk and
say SER on the same physical machine? How about port conflicts?
Maybe the easiest way is to change the default SIP port on Asterisk?

But how will that work if I register some SIP accounts directly 
from asterisk (like my SIP provider) but then wanna dial outbound
pure SIP calls via my SER... Has anyone got a functional system like
this up and running? SER/Asterisk on the same machine?

I would have thought it would use the uniqueid that Asterisk generates

If not I can probably use your way. :)

A possible solution to your question is to maybe use 2 IP addresses on

HI,

   be carefull with this phone !

   I am several issues when use this phone with * (and h323 or oh323).

   We report to Korean's manufacturer few week ago a doc with this fails:


 1º. PUSHING THE "HOLD" KEY, we listen to a music on hold ... but we cannot
 make a new call to a different extension or recover another call.

 2º. In Asterisk it is defined the service "*01" for a task ... if we dial
 "*01" at your phone, Asterisk doesn´t recognize the "*01" dialling.

 3º. TRANSFER CALL doesn´t work using "Transfer KEY".

 Instead of transfering the call, it stops the comunication and dial
 to the extension dialed.

 4º. If we use Asterisk "Transfer" functionallity, (dialling "#" followed by
 the extension...),

 instead of a transfer a multi conference takes place ...

 (then if the phone who transfered the call hangs down the every party lose
 the conversation ... it might be Asterisk´s fault, or it might be normal).

 5º.  If we make previous test several times, and a normal call is made
 after, it crash down, showing the message:
 ### Error ! ###
 nix/tlibthrd.cxx
 line:496
 Exit is called

 Then we have to reset the terminal.

 6º. If we make a phone call to a "crashed phone", then your terminal do
also
 "crash" (got frozen), showing the same message.


  At this moment, CLIPCOMM101 is not a good idea.

Rafael.

Hi,

Try something better.
Use a Bluetooth Headset and an USB Bluetooth dongle with AudioGateway
Profile support.
Then you will have a cordless headset which can be used 10m around the PC.

I have the following combination wich works very nice with my DIAX phone.
- headset Plantronics M1000
- MSI 6967 Bluettth dongle(with the latest MSI drivers).

When a call arrives, the ring is played through PC Speaker (you can use the
soundcard for other purpose: MP3 and so on). I can click on the headset
button cu connect to DIAX, then answer the phone.

What I want to implement now is to put an auto mode in my application who
will force connection with the headset when a new call is arrived (like it
happen in a GSM bluettoth phone) and to hear the ring in the headset too.
If someone can help with this, please send me a mail directly.

A future DIAX version will permit to assign Voice (or even pictures) as
ring, so you will be able to hear/show who's calling and answer the phone
from the headset without even touching the PC.

What do you think?

Thanks and best regards,
Dan

We just experienced a problem which looked something like this. Nobody 
could call in or out through the Fritz cards until we restarted Asterisk. 
The CAPI debug output looked like this:

  == CONNECT_IND (PLCI=0x101,DID=510,CID=221,CIP=0x1,CONTROLLER=0x1)
  == DISCONNECT_IND PLCI=0x101 REASON=0
  == CONNECT_IND (PLCI=0x101,DID=510,CID=(null),CIP=0x4,CONTROLLER=0x1)
  == DISCONNECT_IND PLCI=0x101 REASON=0

where CONNECT_IND was immediately followed by DISCONNECT_IND. There was 
none of the normal output:

-- data = 514:901482320681
-- capi request omsn = 514
  == found capi with omsn = 514

or CONNECT_CONF/CONNECT_B3_REQ/DISCONNECT_B3_IND.

Reason code 0 looks very suspicious. /var/log/messages showed:

Nov  6 13:11:42 voip kernel: kcapi: appl 1 ncci 0x10102 up
Nov  6 13:12:19 voip kernel: kcapi: appl 1 ncci 0x10102 down

Hi Dan,

I had looked at that option but it seems that the only USB bluetooth 
adapters that support the headset profile and audio gateway profile are 
the very expesive ones, by the time you have got the headset and the USB 
adapter it works out cheaper to buy a hard phone..

I will take a look at the MSI adapter you spoke of and see what they are 
priced like..

They have an API for Windows, which is needed to utilize the dialing

Take care that the specification presented on the web page is not allways
updated.
Check the latest drivers too..
For example, the MSI version is not presented as supporting Audio Gateway
profile, but it does with  the latest software.
The same with the very popular Mitsumi Dongle (just the version WIF C5xxx,
not 4xxx
If you have a 4xx one, then you can change it at Mitsunmi (DE) for free with
a new one (just a difference in fimware, but you cannot upgrade it
yourself).

Check this one... it was less than 40 EURO including VAT
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/communication/cmu/pro_cmu_detail.php?UID=326&MODEL=
It works great.
The software is labeled MSI, but it is Widcomm based.

I would agree with you that there is a learning curve with the systems.  And that 
there are no standards.  But what we did is replace another voicemail system with 
Asterisks.  And we are planning on changing others the same way.  I do like the 
feature like you said of having the un-delete.  But you should be able to configure 
the features you want!  2nd all the voice mail systems I have used when you delete a 
message it moves on the the next.  Asterisk does not. Then after you hear your new 
messages it just leaves you there. It will not even play the prompt to go into the old 
folders unless you hit the advance option. I like Asterisk and plan on using it.  But 
you have to understand that when you install this to normal users that are used to 
other voice mail system they will call you every day for weeks about this.

Please do not take this the wrong way.  I am trying to get a system that will allow us 
to configure it so we can get it out to more people!  It's far better then the 
nortel's and others in the cost and ability to change. There is a future here.  It 
needs to move out of the geeks (My self included) use and into the mass media!

Hi Dan,
I had looked at that option but it seems that the only USB bluetooth
adapters that support the headset profile and audio gateway profile are
the very expesive ones, by the time you have got the headset and the USB
adapter it works out cheaper to buy a hard phone..
 

Take care that the specification presented on the web page is not allways
updated.
Check the latest drivers too..
For example, the MSI version is not presented as supporting Audio Gateway
profile, but it does with  the latest software.
The same with the very popular Mitsumi Dongle (just the version WIF C5xxx,
not 4xxx
If you have a 4xx one, then you can change it at Mitsunmi (DE) for free with
a new one (just a difference in fimware, but you cannot upgrade it
yourself).
   

I will take a look at the MSI adapter you spoke of and see what they are
priced like..
 

Check this one... it was less than 40 EURO including VAT
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/communication/cmu/pro_cmu_detail.php?UID=326&MODEL=
It works great.
The software is labeled MSI, but it is Widcomm based.

I've just went thru something similar myself, setting up 2 FXO's, and a
4port FXS... 

>From your included config, your FXO context does not tell asterisk to
answer the phone, therefore, it doesn't. You might try something like
this for your "incoming" context in extensions.conf:

exten => s,1,Answer

Or somesuch. Haven't put the stuff in priority 4-105 in the s extension
yet myself, but theoretically it should work Good Luck!

You can see them in the available sound devices list?
If yes, you can select them in the Audio configuration, inside DIAX and use
them.

I am a fan of the DSP-100 from Plantronics (mono USB) but unfortunately I 
have been unable to get it to work nicely under Linux.  Works _great_ under 
Win32 though; we might be standardizing on these, but I want to check out 
one from LabTec too that supposedly works with Linux.

I'm looking for mono headsets -- the stereo ones are nice but block out too 
much office noise IMO.  In this office that is a bad thing.  :-)

You need to install some softphone, you can't interface asterisk to the
headset by itself.
Try x-lite from www.xten.com for windows (or Dan the man's DIAX software -
search the archives) 
Or gnuphone for linux.

[Asterisk-Users] ISDN PBX + IVR + Voicemail Configuration - Sanity Check ...

2003-11-06 Thread Vledder, Hans
Hi All,

First of all, please no flames about the footer of this message. It's being
inserted into all outgoing email by the server here without asking me
personally first once I send out email. Since I've been very interested in
setting up an Asterisk PBX + IVR + Voicemail system to support a small
business and a foundation for quite some time now, in order to replace their
current ISDN PBX, I've been following the discussions on this list and have
been reading whatever I could find or ran into about Asterisk.

Although my favorite configuration would consist of an ISDN2 telco
connection on the outside and running multiple ISDN phones from a single
point-to-multipoint nt-mode ISDN controller (CologneChip based) on the
inside, this does not seem to be supported very well at this stage. ISDN bus
power, as described by the PBX4Linux initiative, is not much of an issue for
me personally, because all our ISDN equipment have their own power supply.
Hopefully support for internal ISDN S-busses will become available in time,
as we, like many others in Europe, have made significant investments in ISDN
equipment over the years and like to be able to use it with Asterisk.

For the time being I've decided to hookup an Asterisk box to one to the
internal extension ports of our PBX and run an IVR and Voicemail system on
it. Before I do, I would appreciate more experienced Asterisk users to
review my plans and check whether my ambitions are feasible. The
configuration that I would like to setup has the following characteristics:

a. Pentium 166 (am I pushing it ?) based Asterisk box running Linux (what
flavour ?)
b. Hooked up to ISDN PBX using an ISDN4Linux (chan_modem ?) or CAPI4Linux
(chan_capi ?) compatible ISDN controller.
c. Asterisk accepting external calls from MSN's configured in PBX and
transferred to Asterisk box (trivial !)
d. Custom IVR application (module or AGI based ?) presenting caller with
usual IVR stuff according to our needs and transfering (chan_modem or
chan_capi, which one can do it ?) calls to the phones connected to the PBX.
e. Setup voice mail and make sure PBX transfers calls to it when
appropriate.

Can this be done like this ?

Regards,
Hans Vledder
The Netherlands

P.S. He who comes up with clean internal ISDN bus (point to multi-point)
support for Asterisk, based on CologneChip based equipment receives an 18"
large Dutch cheese in the mail, right after I've wiped away my tears of
happiness !

Just an to give you another choice we have started to use for windows the Telex H-841 
and the H-851 USB headsets.  They work with X-lite and the new DIAX.  Good sound and 
simple to configure!  They start at around $ 42.00. (I wish they were lower).

If they have standard linux sound drivers, they can be used together with

I've never tested it, but I don't know why it wouldn't.  I have had recent
issues with getting an overly hot signal (although that was a channel bank
problem).  You might try cranking the rxgain or txgain into the negative
and see if that helps.

Also, by "not work" what do you mean?  Is the phone completely missing the
ADSI?

Questions from a total beginner

 



Hello,





 





I would like to setup an * system
but have no experience with Linux and am just learning about VoIP.  My
programming experience is pretty limited as well, so I may be getting in way
over my head, but I am willing to take the time to figure out how to use
*.  





 





I'd like to use * to create a PBX
that initially would include myself and three or four individuals who are
located in separate locations around the US.  After getting that to
work, I'd also like to set up * at another location to provide a local PBX for
a small office environment (just 3 or 4 extentions), that would be linked with
the * server at my location.  It's my understanding that would
enable communication via the net to and from my location and the city where the
second * server would be located, thus eliminating any long distance charges
for calls between the two locations.   





 





I have two PC's that I
want to network together using Linksys 802.11g gear (WRT54G ap/router
& a WMP54G PCI card in my * server).  My main machine
is an XP.  The one I am planning to use for the *
server has an AMD 500 processor; 64mb ram; and  30+ gb of hard drive
available.  I've downloaded the RH9 iso files to install Linux on the
proposed server. I also have one phone line coming into my home that I
would connect to the * server with a Wildcard X100P.





 





Hopefully I've provided enough
background info that my questions will make sense.





 





1) From what I've read, the
hardware for my proposed * server is adequate.  Is that
correct?  Should I put another stick of 64mb ram in the box?





 





2) Is there anything special I
need to know about installing RH9 to work with * and what type of install is
recommended?  Also, it's my understanding that I'll have to install some
additional drivers to get RH9 to work with the WMP54G PCI card, and
maybe the WRT54G also.  I'm confused on that issue so any clarification
would be appreciated.





 





3) I'd like to set up a VoIP phone
at my location, but don't know what brand to use, nor the factors to consider
in making that selection, so suggestions would be great.





 





4) Do the individuals at the
other locations only need to obtain a VoIP phone and the appropriate sound
card in order to gain access * at my location?  Or is there some
additional hardware/software required on their end of the connection?  I
assume that using the same VoIP phone at each location would be the ideal and I
believe that's something we can do, if recommended.





 





5) My * server will be operating
behind NAT on the broadband router, but from what I've read, that can
work, although SIP phones can have some difficulty with NAT.  Can the
VoIP phone used eliminate any problems with NAT?





 





6) What are the pros and cons
if we were to have the various locations (individuals and eventually
the second * server) communicate over a VPN?





 





Thanks in advance for any and all
assistance.





 





Roger

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Using Asterisk as a VOIP gateway

2003-11-06 Thread Alejandro Ruiz
Hi,
I've done somthing like that with 2 X100p.
basically you connect the both end to any extension of the pbx (fxs port).
when you dail that extension, the first machine will answer and ask for the
extension number of the other end.
So what you actually have, is a local extension tha works as if you picked
up an extension on the other end.
I hope this help...

I run RRD to gather bytes transferred from all my switch ports.  You could 
do something similar with it and use ifconfig output or even iptables 
counter output.  Works _very_ well and is a breeze to set up.  There are 
many configuration examples and lots of documentation on using RRD with 
SNMP and Linux, just google for them.

I am _very_ happy with voicepulse.  connect.voicepulse.com.  they don't 
treat you like a newbie, it's all configured and billed online and their 
email support is very fast and friendly.  Rates ain't bad, either.  :-)

Oh yes, and they support IAX2 trunking and ILBC, and you can download the 
current rates and your call history in machine-readable format without 
resorting to screen-scraping.  :-)

They do not have an unlimited plan that I am aware of.   That's fine though; 
unlimited long distance is not an economically viable way to run a 
business, and I would like voicepulse to hang around for a good long while.

Actually that's not entirely true.

standard 568A/B wired cable does not split pairs for ethernet or DSX1 
wiring.  The problem is that DSX1 uses pins (1,2),(4,5) and ethernet (1,2),
(3,6)  (parenthesis show pairing).  DSX1 must have the (1,2) and (4,5) 
pairs swapped to match the TX to the RX at each end, whereas normal 
ethernet does not, as the switch is cross-wired.  Using an ethernet 
crossover cable does not help since it is swapping (1,2) and (3,6), not 
(1,2) and (4,5).  

The problem with using CAT5 for long telco runs is that the impedance is 
wrong at the line clock rate (~1MHz).  IIRC the impedance for telco is 
specified at 600 ohms @ 1MHz, whereas for CAT5 the impedance is actually 
specified at around 100MHz, where the ethernet line rate is.  You can get 
away with it so long as the impedance is right, but unless you've got the 
data sheets you're playing guessing games.

> 5) Attempt to balance the hybrid at the 2-line to 4 line interface.

This is _precisely_ why my rollouts are all strongly recommending using a 
channel bank instead of the cheap X100P/TDM400P cards -- a lot of work has 
been put into the hybrid circuitry to dynamically adjust to the line 
impedance.  I've had no serious issues with the X100P/TDM400P in small 
scale stuff but the echo cancel IMO should be done where it originates -- 
at the hybrid.

Having said that, I do have "echocancel=32" in my zapata.conf for the T100P 
connected directly to an Adit600 FXS channel bank.  I also have an old CAC 
AB1 with 12FXS and 12FXO ports I am going to deploy shortly to test things 
like far-end disconnect and other issues.

This is a neat idea; something I have not thought of.  However my ideal PSTN 
termination is digital (PRI) ... something to eliminate the hybrid 
altogether, at least on my end.  :-)   For deployments where I am simply 
providing VOIP to an existing phone system, I am recommending installing a 
T100P and a digital trunk for the existing KSU; again to eliminate the 
hybrid mess, or at least push it off to someone else's problem.  :-)

> 6) Try messing with Tx and Rx gains.

Something I have noticed is that on the Adit600 FXS ports, I have had to set 
its RX attenuation to -7dB!!  (TX to -3dB) If my math is correct, that 
means I am attenuating 85% of my incoming signal!  Is this perhaps what you 
are referring to with the super-low impedance?

Thank you for this super technical and informative post.  This is what 
*-users needs... more tech and less running around in circles with the same

make ; make clean on Zapata, zaptel, and libpri. Currently loaded

While what Matteo suggest above is probably the best option, I'll throw
one more out that may be of use later on as your dialplan gets more
complex.

   -- show application Suffix  --

  -= Info about application 'Suffix' =- 

[Synopsis]:
  Append trailing digits

[Description]:
  Suffix(digits): Appends the  digit  string  specified  by  digits to the
channel's associated extension. For example, the number 555 when  suffixed
with '1212' will become 5551212. This app always returns 0, and the PBX will
continue processing at the next priority for the *new* extension.
  So, for example, if priority  3  of  555 is Suffix 1212, the  next  step
executed will be priority 4 of 5551212. If  you  switch  into an  extension
which has no first step, the PBX will treat it as though the user dialed an
invalid extension.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] The Minimum Cost of Setting up an Asterisk Phone System?

2003-11-06 Thread Stephen R. Besch

Here's a cost analysis, rather crude and inspecific, of using Asterisk
to implement a phone system. I'm really quite naive and new to all this,
so I'd appreciate any corrections, tips, pointers, etc, from those in
the community, who have far greater experience, knowledge, skill, etc.
than I. Am I forgetting something important? Am I way off in my
estimates?
For what it's worth, here's what we actually paid for our system:

   1) CPU: Salvaged from spare parts, estimated cost to purchase:   $500
 Asus A7V133, 900MHz, 256MB,60GB
   2) Two Nics 
 $50
   3) Digium T100P  
   $495
   4) 20 GS Budgetone @$65 
  $1300
   5) Adtran TSU600 Channel Bank (e-bay + patience)   
  $99
   6)  2 Dual FXO plugins for TSU  @$100  (used)
 $200
   7)   1 Dual FXS Plug in for TSU @$100   (used)   
  $100
   8)  Asterisk and Linux 
$0
   9) APC Smart-UPS 700 (used)
 $60

Total:  
  $2804$140/Phone (including phones)

$75/phone (not 
including phones)

Obviously, this is a bit unrealistic for many of you, since there is no 
cost for the networking infrastructure and wiring.  This already existed 
on our site and in fact is provided by our University.  We also have a 
lot of computer and electronics expertise in our lab, which really 
helps.  By the way, the cost was less than 1/2 the estimate for Analog 
PBX hardware from an outside vendor (no installation) and less than 1/3 
of the quote offered for a system with less functionality from the 
University - and we would have had no control over the system and would 
have been charged an addition $5/month per voice mailbox, even if though 
we had to buy all the hardware! Finally, and this is a real plug for *, 
one of our scientists splits his time between Buffalo and Nova Scotia. I 
was able to place an extension at his Nova Scotia office for exactly "0" 
extra cost!  Our University IT department wasn't even able to quote us 
on that functionality.

The problem is that DSX1 uses pins (1,2),(4,5) and ethernet (1,2),
(3,6)  (parenthesis show pairing).  DSX1 must have the (1,2) and (4,5) 
pairs swapped to match the TX to the RX at each end, whereas normal 

Not usually these days. The box on the wall normally needs a striaght 
through cable to the card for E1s and T1s. That is why so many people 
plug in a LAN cable and find it almost works.

ethernet does not, as the switch is cross-wired.  Using an ethernet 
crossover cable does not help since it is swapping (1,2) and (3,6), not 
(1,2) and (4,5).

Well, at least a crossover cable doesn't fool people into thinking they 
got it right. :-)

The problem with using CAT5 for long telco runs is that the impedance is 
wrong at the line clock rate (~1MHz).  IIRC the impedance for telco is 
specified at 600 ohms @ 1MHz, whereas for CAT5 the impedance is actually 

T1s are always 100-110ohm, E1s are the same when on pairs, and 75ohm on 
coax. Only analogue pairs are terminated at 600ohm, and no line can 
actually be greater than 120*PI (about 377) ohms - that is the impedance 
of free space. Fudgy 600ohm stuff works at audio frequencies, but you 
have to treat the line properly as a transmission line as the frequency 
rises.

specified at around 100MHz, where the ethernet line rate is.  You can get 
away with it so long as the impedance is right, but unless you've got the 
data sheets you're playing guessing games.

There is no guessing involved. The impedances are pairing are all 
standard. You need specs, not data speets.

I originally picked up this AT&T 957 phone at Office Max for $30.
Currently the links from froogle show many people offering it for around
$30, and one for $20. (http://tinyurl.com/twyi) Speaker phone, CallerID,

This option may not work in one PC as you have more than 2 Zapata cards.
You will find it difficult to make the cards sit on their own IRQ, then
you will deal with 4 x 1000 interupts a second on the machine. Not to
mention you will be at the end of your potential expansion in a single
machine. You would find it almost the same price to switch to a T100P
and a channel bank with FXO and FXS ports. This would alleviate
headaches of IRQs, and future expansion is probably just a matter of
plugging in more phones.

I have a small problem with the above 2 examples in that they assume you
can get by with 11 users to a phone line. I think this is not normally
possible unless you are dealing as a telco serving residential lines
that don't have dialup internet users. I also don't feel that a $500
computer can sustain 8 T1s of traffic today. Maybe in a year the prices
will have fallen enough so that a $500 PC is adequate. 

I suspect the examples above should be stated more likely as a 
96 line system (FXS/FXO mix 72/T1 or PRI 3 users per line)
Computer  : $ 500
QspanT1   : $1500
3 ChanBks : $1950
72 Phones : $2160
-
Total:: $6110   costs/phone = $ 84.86

192 line system (FXS/FXO mix 168/T1 or PRI ~7 users per line)
Computer  : $1000   Needs more power
2 QspT1   : $3000
7 ChanBks : $4550
168 phones: $5040
-
Total::$13590   costs/phone = $80.89

These also have the potential to save money month after month by having
subscribed to a T1 or PRI link and having more phone lines available for
the employees.

The S100U works with iaxComm as a headset.  I use a cheap VTech 900 MHz phone

Stephen R. Besch wrote:

   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.
Tweaking the hybrid is really a waste of time. Most don't permit 
tweaking for this reason. Any change to the circuit, like changing to 
another phone (perhaps even of the same model) generally defeats the 
effect of any tweaking on the short lines of most PBXs. A well designed 
hybrid is fairly relaxed about termination, though the return loss can 
vary a lot across the audio band. Most approvals specs only call for 
about 12dB of return loss, and you will seldom see more than 20dB - even 
with hand tweaking. Whatever you do with the hybrid, only proper echo 
cancellation will clean things up well enough for good VoIP (or 
cellphone calls, which suffer similar high latency).

Actually twisted pair are generally below 150ohms. No line can have an 
impedance higher than 377ohms. 600ohm termiation is a fudge. On long 
lines the fudge doesn't work well, and loading coils are needed to 
refudge things. ADSL can't work with the loading coils in place, so they 
are being stripped out in many places. Such is life - messy!

I'm actually doing VoIP between offices over a WAN, not across the
internet... Using GSM and IAX2 trunking, I can get somewhere around 95
calls down a 1.5mbps connection.  In offices where I need more than 95
concurrent calls, I just pull another 1.5mbps point-to-point data T1,
and load balance... It's not exactly rocket science.

Once the calls get to our corporate office, they get converted back from
VoIP to analog and get placed on voice DS1s.  (I've got a DS3 almost
full of voice DS1s.)

RE: [Asterisk-Users] recording calls

2003-11-06 Thread mattf



OK, 
here is the long drawn out description of how I am using Zap Barge and 
Monitor:
 
 
 
Zapbarge(listen in on live calls):
 
Very 
simple actually I just added this to my dial 
plan(extensions.conf):
 
    ; barge monitoring 
extension    exten => 
8159,1,ZapBarge    exten => 
8159,2,Hangup
 
Then 
when you dial 8159 on a phone you get asked which line you want to listen in on, 
for Zap/1-1 you would press 1#, for Zap/25-1 you would press 
25#
 
and 
that leads into the next phase, the recording of calls and also how people know 
who is on which channel so they can record/Barge.
 
 
 
Monitor(and other manager 
functions)
 
This 
is much more complex than Barge, for this solution I decided to write several 
server programs and a perl/TK client that can run on a Linux or Win32 desktop. 

 
First 
the server side of things:
- 
created a constantly run perl script that telnets into the Manager interface of 
Asterisk and gets the "show channels" output every 333 milliseconds, it then 
queries a database to see which "phone extension to Zap channel" are not in it 
already and inserts them as well as deleting channels that are no longer active. 
I chose to do it this way because it can scale easily without affecting the 
Asterisk server at all.
- 
created a cron job perl script that runs every 5 minutes to take the recording 
files, merge them with soxmix and copy them to a universal storage location so 
they can be easily retrieved

  I think I am keenly 
  interested in this.  Let me make sure I have this correct first, 
  though.
   
  You are able to 
  monitor which lines are in use and record calls that are in progress (assuming 
  they come in via a Zap channel)?  
   
  If this is correct, I 
  would like to know how you did it.  To be honest, I am not familiar with 
  the Manager interface.  I have been looking at Asterisk for about a month 
  now, have a test system in place, and have mostly been 
  playing.
   
  If you could help me 
  with this, I would be very interested!

  Hello,
  
   
  
  You can 
  use ZapBarge as an extension in your dialplan to listen in on conversations 
  going on in Zap channels(Zaptel device channels)
  
   
  
  As for 
  recording you can use the Manager interface command StartMonitor to start 
  recording of a Zap channel and StopMonitor to stop it.
  
   
  
  Zap 
  channels are pretty much the only ones right now that you can directly monitor 
  and record through Asterisk. 
  
   
  
  If these 
  sound like they'll work for you, you can lookup the specifics online or ask me 
  and I'll try to do a brief overview of them.  We are using the Asterisk 
  Manager functions together with a Perl/TK phone command program to show people 
  on our phone system who is on the phone and to record and originate phone 
  calls. It works rather well and uses the manager interface to 
  Asterisk.
