Re: [Asterisk-Users] dropped calls from queue

2004-04-07 Thread Tony Buser
I just updated to latest cvs and the problem remains.  I did also notice 
that when the call coming in on the queue is through a Zap line (from an 
adtran 750 to an x100p) it logs the following just before the warnings 
below:

pr  7 14:21:21 VERBOSE[60194841]: -- SIP/hrutter-432b answered Zap/13-1

Greetings,

Does anyone have any experience in getting dialpad.com working with *

They use a proprietary softphone but also have facility for cisco
ata-186 and Sipura SPA-2000.

Before I go off and investigate, I though I would check and see if
anyone has any experience with them

I'm going to leave most of what you said alone, I understand you point
and it's your point to make.

 

 

However I will make a small comment about

“I don't need hotlist functionality,
if I dial their number and they aren't on, I get a busy

reorder signal.  No big deal”.

 

Presence based information is the biggest ‘seller’ in the
IP PBX market at the moment, being able to tell what/where a person is
certainly driving a lot of sales through my door.

Hate to reply to my own message again, but I just figured it out. 
Nothing wrong with asterisk really, just a bad configuration.  Somehow 
the queue line in extensions conf got changed by someone to:

exten => 81003,3,Queue(receptionistq|tTH||10)

Thats where the 10 was coming from.  :)  Could this be considered a bug? 
 It shouldn't hang up on someone just because the wav file for an 
announcement can't be found?  All this time we were blaming the poor 
receptionist.

I'd take a look at the VoiceTronic cards ( http://www.voicetronix.com/hda.htm ) which

12 Loop-Start ports only.
8 Loop-Start AND 4 Station ports.
4 Loop-Start AND 8 Station ports (default configuration).
12 Station ports only.

[Asterisk-Users] inband dtmfmode, SIP to VoicePulse, > 1 digit extentions do not work?

2004-04-07 Thread James W. Brinkerhoff
I have a situation where calls come in via SIP from VoicePulse and get dropped 
into a main menu.Voicepulse only works /w dtmfmode=inband and I only 
allow ulaw/alaw as codecs.

When the call comes in and gets dropped to the menu, you can hit 1, 2 or 3 to 
get to other people.   Or you can dial the persons full extention... 1000 
1001 etc... /w dtmfmode=inband, it only ever grabs the first digit rather 
than collecting "tones" till it hits the DigitTimeout.

I tried from a SIP hardphone that uses rfc2833 and it worked as expected 
(collected digits until the timeout, then tried routing).

Anyone know WHY this happens and if there is some sort of workaround?   
Barring that, does anyone know a SIP or IAX provider that will give me 
inbound/outbound calling /w a 212 areacode phone number ( ie + 1 212 - 
XXX- ) and uses dtmfmode = info or rfc2833 ?

Thanks a bunch everyone,

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Newbie question

2004-04-07 Thread Andy Powell

This is a fairly simple thing to do. You don;t say what type of phones you are using, 
so I;ll assume SIP for the example:

Step 1:

Put

callerid="Darren" <1234>

for each phone definition in sip.conf, obviously replacing Darren with the user eg 
"Darren Nay" or "Joe Bloggs", then replace the 1234 with their extension number. The 
format looks a little odd with the <1234> outside the quotes, but it's correct.

In your extensions.conf:

exten => *55,1,Ringing
exten => *55,2,Wait(1)   ; Make the user feel like something is happening
exten => *55,3,VoiceMailMain(s${CALLERIDNUM})

The last line will not prompt for a password, if you omit the 's' it will...

HTH

This could easily be done with simple dns lookups and TXT records, eg do a 
TXT query for version#.digium.com.

The nice thing is that because of the distributed and cached nature of 
DNS, it is inherently resistant to high loads and outages -- especially if 
you have secondary/tertiary servers.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Lucent Phones

This may be a little to far into PBX land but...

Anyone know of a place where there are good examples of how
to configure the Definity PBX stations with PRI?  I currently have a T1
between a Definity and Asterisk.  It is currently doing robbed-bit 
signalling but
I would like to do PRI.  I can get the PRI up and working signalling
wise but to actually route calls from the PBX to Asterisk is another
story.  More specifically I am trying to figure out how to do this:

PSTN->PBX->Asterisk->IP Phone

I need to get an extension on the PBX to leave out the T1 to the Asterisk
box.
Thanks,

I guess I didn’t place that part of
my message in the correct context.  Presence is very handy, and I would
like to see the functionality added to Asterisk.  What I meant by my
comment you quoted below, is that if I could attach my Asterisk server to the
Skype network, I would not care if I had their presence services.  That is
a part of the functionality I would be willing to do without if they opened
their protocol.  It goes back to my original point: If they want to keep
part of their protocol closed, that is fine, but release the most basic part of
it: the voice communication.

[Asterisk-Users] Presence (was FW: pda skype)

2004-04-07 Thread Steven Sokol
Dean Collins just sent out a message a second ago (responding to an earlier
posting regarding the new Skype PDA client).  He said:

"Presence based information is the biggest 'seller' in the IP PBX market at
the moment, being able to tell what/where a person is certainly driving a
lot of sales through my door."

I would like to take a moment to second his message.  Every presentation at
the VON show concurs with his opinion.

PRESENCE IS LIKELY THE MOST IMPORTANT SINGLE ADDITION TO ASTERISK THAT COULD
BE MADE AT THIS TIME.

I know there are people out there working on or waiting for all kinds of
features.  And I understand that all of them are important in one way or
another.  But THE feature that turns up time and again on RFPs for VoIP
phone systems is PRESENCE.  Like it or not, managers like to know where
their people are.  Friends like knowing where their friends are.  Everybody
likes being able to communicate how they want, when they want.

This is the next step beyond the follow-me/find me applications.  Beyond the
basics of VoIP.  And this step is driving people to deploy VoIP systems
(including Asterisk).

Perhaps the gory details of implementation are best reserved for the
Developer list, but I think everybody out there can comment on the ideas:

HOW DO YOU SEE PRESENCE INTEGRATING WITH ASTERISK?

Thanks,

Steve

2004-04-07 Thread Rana Dutt
Also, check out www.citel.com This company claims to have SIP adaptors for
Avaya's digital PBX phones. If they work as advertised, you can keep your
Avaya/Lucent phones, throw out your legacy PBX, and connect them all to
Asterisk! However, I doubt they have all the display integration working
correctly. Anyone know for sure?

Sure.  You can use Asterisk as a VoIP gateway to your existing legacy PBX.
You can't plug Lucent's (Avaya's) DCP, MLX, or ATL phone sets into an
Asterisk box -- the protocols are all proprietary.  But you can certainly
connect between the systems using analog or T1/Ei connections.

[Asterisk-Users] Problems with ADIT 600 - latency, loss, etc

2004-04-07 Thread Ralph Forsythe
I'm emailing this as the customer in this case, since my carrier appears
to be completely unable to solve this.  A brief rundown of the problem:
- We have several voice lines going through the ADIT, of course into a
VoIP type of arrangement.
- Voice traffic will become choppy, even drop calls completely, at random
but quite often.  Modem calls (which we needed unfortunately) are a joke.
- Packet latency on the data side will be fine one minute, then high the
next.  As I type this email through an ssh session into my server there, I
hit keys and wait for them to appear.  This is odd for a T1 in my opinion.

Now, the carrier has replaced the hardware (breaking it twice in the
process, leaving me to wonder how much of this they understand) and
installed the latest hardware revision supposedly.  They are claiming that
high data usage is causing the voice issue.  I don't buy it, and here's
why:
- The ADIT is designed to handle both and prioritize voice over data.
This therefore has to use the assumption that no matter what, data will
attempt to run at full speed, and the ADIT will throttle it back as
necessary.  The carrier claims that using data at high speed will overload
the CPU causing dropped calls.  Computers connect at 100mbit ethernet -
unsure what he wants me to do here.  I call BS on this one, and in fact
did, with silence as the response.
- I have enabled packet queueing in my firewall, with a max outbound
badnwidth of the T1 speed.  This enables me to also monitor my realtime
usage in 5 second polls.  While pushing out around 300kbit (on a T1), the
voice call I was on was choppy, and I had packet latency.  1.5Mbit or
300kbit seems to yield the same results.
- It happens consistently, even in low-usage times.  My websites are dead
at midnight, but phone calls still suck.
- My firewall now prioritizes all of my ssh traffic above anything else,
meaning that even if I was pushing out full speed ahead, that traffic gets
top priority - so, there should be no delay whatsoever.

I have suggested a check of the physical line.  The technicians coming out
only seem to be able to console into the ADIT and break it, and apparently
our idea that a simple BER test on the line might enlighten them has not
been welcomed.  Am I off-base here?  Is there some setting or other check
that can be done in the ADIT?  I'd like to see the physical T1 validated
but am becoming increasingly concerned that no one at this company knows
how to do it (I'm hoping I don't need to bring in a Tberd and have them
loop it, so I can do their job for them).

I found something on here about the T1 slipping and/or getting bipolar
violations.  What else can I have these guys check?

Thanks

I guess I didn’t

handy, and I would like to see the functionality added to Asterisk.  What
I meant by my comment you quoted below, is that if I could attach my Asterisk
server to the Skype network, I would not care if I had their presence
services.  That is a part of the functionality I would be willing to do
without if they opened their protocol.  It goes back to my original point:
If they want to keep part of their protocol closed, that is fine, but release
the most basic part of it: the voice communication.

ETR (Enhanced Tip/Ring) supposedly uses some variety of serial protocol over
two lines to provide the screen functionality.  The voice channel is still
POTS.  These phones are sold with the Partner system and can be added to the
Magix systems using an ETR blade.

Here in the states we could be jailed for trying to reverse engineer the
serial display protocol (at least, in theory -- I don't know if it's been
tested yet) as a violation of the evil DCMA.

Anybody know about the other core Avaya protocols: specifically DCP and its
cousin TDL.  DCP (Digital Communications Protocol) has been used for years
on the Definity line.  Somewhere in the mid 1990s they cut it from 4 wires
to two wires.  The two wire version was ported to the Merlin Magix platform
and is called "TDL" which I have been told means "Two wire DigitaL"??

If you have a large investment in the Avaya sets, it might be nice to have a
bridge device to convert to SIP or H323 or whatever.  I saw somebody at VON
who offered a device that they claimed did just that.  Don't remember who
just now.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Lucent Phones

2004-04-07 Thread Gregory Junker
Right, I know that the voice part is POTS because I have a standard
cordless phone plugged into our Partner system. 

Hmm, wouldn't ETR be covered under a patent and not a copyright? And has
17 years been up yet?

And if someone is selling devices that convert to/from ETR, then the
protocol spec is available in some form (even if it's some draconian
Avaya licensing scheme). I agree that Avaya has a vested interest in
keeping the spec out of the public eye (sell phone upgrades, sell Merlin
adapter modules), but this technology is definitely getting long in the
toothwhich doesn't mean that my users exactly want to give up the
familiarity of the Partner phones just yet. ;) And since I already have
Partner phones, and don't really care to spend $200-$300 a pop to
replace them with Snom or Cisco phones (good as they may be)...

My goal is to get rid of that box on my wall. I already got rid of one
(Cisco 1720 that was our router, replaced by a Linux server/router), now
I have two to go (Lucent ConnectReach for our Time Warner Telecom IBL,
and the Partner ACS phone system). Hell, Lucent Technologies ought to
pay me rent for the amount of space they occupy on my walls. 

[rant=on]

It is completely obnoxious to me that I have to take an incoming
channelized T1 and have it broken out into physical copper wire so that
I can insert it into my Partner system for voice. If I had then to take
that copper, spend beaucoup more bucks to be able to put it back INTO
digital form so that it can work with an Asterisk PBX...that's
borderline surreal to me. Everyone is so vested in making sure that none
of their damned equipment interoperates with anyone else's (yet all the
while paying serious lip service to the holy grail of "standards") that
I am to the point where DCMA be damned, if I can measure it I can figure
it out. It pisses me off no end that TWTC can't simply send a normal T1
into my business (and therefore allow me to use a simple T100P), and
I'll bet that when they start offering VoIP in this area (SW Ohio) it'll
also involve some absurd piece of proprietary equipment further to
clutter up my wall or rack. 

[rant=off]

At any rate, yes, I could pick up a TDM400 and have Asterisk act like
Partner ACS analog extensions, or pick up 3 X100's and use it directly
for the incoming lines (and then deal with the user fallout regarding
adaptation to X-Lite or something similar), but I just can't bring
myself to do it, honestly. Ultimately, I want those boxes off my wall
because technologically, they do not need to be there. 

Guess I'm stuck with finding 7960's on eBay as cheap as I can. *sigh*

Anyone want an outmoded Partner ACS R1.0 analog phone system? ;)

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Siemens EWSD 13

2004-04-07 Thread Storer, Darren
Hi,

I had exactly the same symptoms today with a co-located * connected to a
Public Switch here in the UK. The problem was solved by insisting that the
Telco turned on CRC4 at their end and then, after an 'init 6', layer two
settled down on both systems.

I was taught that if you are connecting to a full specification Q.931
circuit, CRC4 should be enabled by default; in the event that one end does
not support CRC4 the other end should auto-negotiate back and the circuit
should still align without problems. Having said all of this I have yet to
see auto-negotiation of CRC4 on any equipment (Public Network or CPE) and
suspect that I was not told the truth in the first place...

Selection of CRC4 seems to be random from Telco to Telco even on an install
by install basis within the same Carrier. It's the first thing to check when
new kit appears to be unstable..

Hi all,

Has anyone got any experience with hooking Asterisk up with a
Siemens EWSD 13 switch over a E1/PRI ?
We're located in Belgium (Europe) and one of our telecom partners
uses this switch.

We connected one of our TE410P ports with their switch, but the status
light on the TE410P card keeps blinking red.
On their side they are getting a DSA (distance service alarm) error, so
this normally means the devices 'see' eachother.. but there are still
problems with the signalling.

Our config below is the same as we are using for MCI, one of our other
telecom partners.

We tried changing the LBO and timing, but no luck.
As you see the signalling is carried over channel 16 (default).

TX and RX have also been regularly switched, so no luck..

Their switch is providing the timing.

The telecom operator has double checked the asterisk config several
times, and it's conform to their setup.

The only thing they couldn't find in the Asterisk config is a
'multiframing' option. But I presume this is automatically detected or
set by default ?
They also tried normal/single(?) framing, but no difference.

The card has also been tested with our MCI E1, and works flawlessly, so
no hardware issue.

Anyone got any further ideas ?

Any info or help greatly appreciated!

I've been considering the nature of Asterisk, its security, the bug
tracker, and more...  And i've come up with an interesting idea: A
"message of the version".  The idea is that Asterisk has a compile time
32-bit unsigned int version which is incremented whenever some major new
bug is fixed.  When Asterisk starts up (and periodically, maybe once per
day), it sends a packet with the version number to a server at Digium,
along with a message level (INFO,MINOR,MAJOR,CRITICAL) and the Digium
server replies (if it receives the packet, if not, it might get sent again
in a day) with any INFO, MINOR, MAJOR, or CRITICAL messages which are
associated with that version of the code.  In this way, an asterisk
administrator could easily see if there were any major issues, critical
security updates, etc, that his system might need to be updated for.

Now, of course, any time you put a "call home" feature in, there are
people who will be concerned about privacy.  Clearly it will be able to be
disabled, but I want to run my idea about deployment by everyone here and
see if you guys had some ideas.  The idea would be that *new* installs
("make samples") would have the feature turned on for MAJOR level by
default, and that any existing install (e.g. /etc/asterisk/sip.conf
exists, but not /etc/asterisk/motv.conf) would have the file created at
the next "make install" based upon prompting the installer.

Any feedback on:

a) The idea itself -- is it a good one or is it stupid?

b) The way to make it deployed without sneaking a "call home" in on
anybody that doesn't want it?

Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] Presence

2004-04-07 Thread Shad Mortazavi
Title: [Asterisk-Users] Presence





I have to agree. 


A large number of people are looking for this feature. I have written a web script that can show Agent logged into the system.

I think integration/gateway between Asterisk and Jabber would be a amazingly wonderful product.


There is always MSN.

They modified iax to include the presence packet but only works on their

My idea for AIM/Jabber/Yahoo integration is below.

Comments and/or programmers are welcome to have at it, and to expand 
on my ideas.  I have mentioned this to several programmers who 
expressed an interest, but I'm sure that lack of time and funding has 
kept them from starting on the project, if it indeed is worthwhile. 
This is a kludge to some degree, but it uses _already existing_ 
presence tools to extend Asterisk's functionality, without needing to 
modify any client software or hardware.



This is really a one-way presence idea at the moment.  There are the 
glimmerings of two-way presence (see the "activewhen" keyword) but 
this is mostly for CTI outbound notices from an * server to humans 
upon some events defined by the administrator.  I would see this most 
typically used either as a screenpop on an inbound or outbound call, 
or perhaps as a voicemail notification tool if the administrator is 
clever enough to embed a URL into the string for the instant message 
text. 

Phase 1: Create a set of programs for Asterisk which allows status 
checking of a particular username on a particular instant messaging 
system (availability, idle time) and also allows for transmission of 
instant messages from Asterisk to other users on those instant 
messaging systems (one-way.)  The first systems that come to mind 
would be AOL's AIM and Yahoo.

Phase 2: Add additional instant message systems: maybe Jabber, MSN. 
Allow examination of user's header line (in AOL, at least) and pass 
that through the app_imstatus return codes.  This would allow me to 
specify "mobile:" as the first digits of my status, thus a GotoIf 
would be able to know that it should send calls to my cell phone.  Or 
when I get to work, and shift between my home account ("home: hello, 
I'm home") to work ("work: at my desk") then the system will 
automatically forward calls appropriately.  This might be easy enough 
to do in Phase 1, but I'm uncertain.

Future paths:
  A true "presence" application for telephony in a large scale method 
is lacking today.  It may be the case that this could be done by 
creating a custom telephony presence presentation application that is 
based on an existing (or multiple existing) chat protocols.   As an 
example, it is possible that I might be able to make my status 
message on AIM change from "avail/sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to 
"busy/sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" every time I pick up the phone; 
that could be done programmatically by Asterisk.  Then, my friends 
who have the custom telephony presence application would see the 
little icon beside "pinkycaruthers" go from green to flashing orange. 
As soon as I went back to non-busy, they could just click on my icon, 
and two things would happen: a password-protected message would get 
fired off to THEIR phone system and extension from the presence 
application on their desktop, which in turn would be received by an 
asterisk-aware application on their Asterisk server, which in turn 
would create a spool call to MY phone system from the SIP URI that I 
included in my Status message.   Presto!  We have minimalist call 
routing, presence, and click-to-dial - we're just missing the little 
app to do it on .   The core 
message transport protocols all exist; it's just a matter of layers 
on top of them.  Using standard telephony URI's, we could not just do 
this with SIP, but with tel, h323, iax2, anything - it's not limited 
to VoIP.

  There are some more reasons -- transport of big SIP messages and
  avoiding network congestion among them. SIP message can get pretty big
  when XML encoded documents (presence documents, for example) are
  attached.

  TCP does not fit everywhere. It is still advantageous to let SIP
  phones use UDP when communicating with a proxy because the proxy does
  not have to keep a list of opened connections which is very resource
  consuming (just consider that you have 10 users using the same
  proxy -- that can be easily achieved using single server).

  On the other hand, TCP is useful for proxy-to-proxy communication,
  especially when there is bigger amount of traffic between proxies. In
  this case TCP head blocking is really not a problem because the sender
  gets constant feedback from the remote party and can retransmit the
  lost segment in a short time. (There was a technical report on this 
  published by Henning Schulzrinne).

I was half way through discussing this with Mark and more specifically

told to do another project asap but that'll be released next week (stay 
tuned).
My main concern with IAX were you don't know when someone goes offline 
until their reg expires - no acceptable in presence. Our solution was to 
keep the registration session open. Keeping the registration session 
open actually helps everything else fall in place, you can just send 
messages over that session without requiring setting up a channel, auth 
and tear down for each message.

[apologies for top-posting]

I am very interested in what providers typically take CNAM via ISDN. 
I have some experience with PRI providers, but I've never heard of 
one offering that service.

If you are a PRI provider in the lower 48 who takes CNAM and can pass 
that off to the PSTN, please get in touch with me off-list, 
especially if you handle SIP outbound to your gateways.  I may not 
buy service from you (or maybe I will!) but I'd be very interested in 
hearing what the particulars are about your offering so I can bring 
those elements to the table with my current providers.

This would be a big benefit for those of us trying to make The Phone 
System a little more dynamic than the sluggish monster that it 
currently is.  An SQL call and instant re-write for a name is a lot 
faster/better/more useful than sending a spreadsheet to the carrier 
every month.

I do know this.. You have to make sure the the generic name IE

message to Allegiance. If you have a protocol analyzer you could check
this , or maybe Allegiance an check this for you. At any rate, they
should get this parameter inbound from you ISDN and then pass this
parameter to the PSTN (most likely via ISUP). I would get with
Allegiance and make sure they are setup to pass CNAM to the PSTN with
you.
Or you can tell them what ANI/CPN you are sending and they probably
store with an SS7 provider , and they can update the SCP for the desired
name that you want for any ANI. There might be a cost for this...
This last option is the cleanest way to do it. I currently do this for

I'm not familiar with the protocol used in Firefly. If that was known
then it would be possible to add the functionality to * so anyone can
have the simple presences by dialing extensions in their dial plan or
crafted packets at a software level. Jabber is already deployed in my
organization so I would lean toward integration to that standard as
well.

[Asterisk-Users] Cell Phone, *, Portability

2004-04-07 Thread William Suffill
Currently the plan is to forward all PSTN calls on our 2 incoming PSTN
lines & 2 remote toll free's via IAX2 to staff.

3 different delivery methods
1) Users local to the office where the lines come in with GS/PSTN phones
2) IAX2 to remote location * server then Cisco 7960 on that lan
3) IAX2 to remote softphone

That assumes they are in the office though. Recently I've been out more
than I've been in my office so a VOIP wasn't an option. In this case
calls went to me cell and ran up quite alot of minutes. I was wondering
how others handle this. Also what carrier you suggest for 2 business
cell phones?

[Asterisk-Users] ISDN BRI solution for USA

2004-04-07 Thread Alfred R. Nurnberger
I am looking for a ISDN BRI card (u-INTERFACE) to connect * to a US 5ESS
switch (Qwest).

According to Qwest they support CNAME delivery on their 5ESS switches.
Does * chan_capi support CNAME ?

I suppose I should bring this around back to a discussion on 
Asterisk, since this _is_ the Asterisk list and I notice I didn't say 
anything on my first post:

  If I can find vendors who can offer this service via PRI, I will 
try my hardest to find a customer who will pay to have this 
functionality for outbound name transmission installed into 
libpri/asterisk, if it isn't there already (which I don't think it 
is.)

  There were prior threads about using the UUI header in PRI 
signalling to move trivial bits of data around; did anything ever 
come of that?

[Asterisk-Users] RE: Problems with ADIT 600 - latency, loss, etc

2004-04-07 Thread JR Richardson
Ralph,

My experience with the Adit (going on 3 years), it's a solid platform.  I've
also had one backed into * using MGCP to CMG card for a bit with great
success.

The thing you said about the bandwidth usage and call quality sucks for both
300KB and 1.5Meg is the clue to this problem being a layer 2 or layer 1
(physical) problem.  I would demand a T1 end-to-end, test set to test set
check.  If there are bipolar violations, check timing along the path, if CRC
errors check copper cross connects along the path.  Another common problem
with inexperienced communications companies is improperly provisioned
transport equipment, i.e. one leg of the ckt set to AMI and another leg set
to B8ZS, the path may still work but have errors.  Bottom line, escalate the
problem, if they want to keep your business, they'll get it fixed.

Good luck.

JR

[Asterisk-Users] Adtran 850 questions

2004-04-07 Thread Jeff Gustafson
I just wanted to ask about using Adtran boxes to support analog lines
into an Asterisk box.  Right now x101p's are just too sensitive to RF
noise inside the PC.  Going with an external chassis looks like a good,
albeit expensive option.  It looks like I can use the Digium T1 card
into an Adtran 850.  The Adtran 850 would need FXO cards.  It would also
need the echo cancellation module.  Is this correct?
What other options are out there with hardware level echo cancellation?

...Jeff

[Asterisk-Users] SIP <--> PSTN gateways

2004-04-07 Thread Brian Cuthie
Title: SIP <--> PSTN gateways







So what are people using these days for SIP or IAX to PSTN gateways. 


1. Do any of the standard companies (Packet8, Broadvox, Vonage, etc.) allow you to use your own SIP device (phone or something like *) instead of the interface hardware they usually provide?  

2. What about latency and reliability?  


3. Finally, do any of the providers deliver more than one call via SIP?  In otherwords, if I'm already on a call and another comes in will they attempt to deliver it?

Thanks

I had to do the *opposite* of this to get chan_sccp to compile against a
freshly-updated CVS of Asterisk and Zaptel.  I had to add the extra
parameter to these calls in the chan_sccp code.  I took it that the
extra parameter was added recently, since the last time I compiled the 
same chan_sccp tree it worked fine.

  I'm setting up my own gateways.  I'm getting a Cisco 2621XM with a HDV
module.  I had high hopes for the Ovislink gateways, but they discard
proxied SIP requests, for some unknown reason.

> 1. Do any of the standard companies (Packet8, Broadvox, Vonage, etc.) allow

  Many of the providers use SIP, so even if they don't explicitly tell you
the SIP settings to us, it is possible to hookup something else.  I've
heard that Packet8 gets annoyed when people use self-supplied devices, but
it would be possible to hack the code to emulate the device identifier.
I've seen an Vonage example posted.

> 2. What about latency and reliability?

  Well, latency is going to be factor of your network and your provider
more than anything.  If they are bad, it is going to bad.  As far as
reliablitity goes, perhaps someone else knows more about that.

> 3. Finally, do any of the providers deliver more than one call via SIP?  In

  Good question.  I wonder how many of the providers even have the ability
to restrict you to one call!  I hope the unlimited providers do, because
otherwise people using Asterisk as a SIP UA are going to have a field day.

  Ultimately, you'll need a business SIP connection.  There are some
providers out there that can do this for LD.

[Asterisk-Users] dreaded Caller*ID failed checksum

2004-04-07 Thread Jeff Gustafson
Caller*ID used to work as some point, but I can't seem to get it going
these days.  The card is a x101p.  I've tried going up and down the
rxgain scale.  Can the txgain effect it at all?  When I plug in a phone
into the line with a splitter it can decode caller id with no problems.
Reading through the mailing list archives hasn't given me any
move clues.  Any ideas?

[Asterisk-Users] Channelized T1, T100P problems

2004-04-07 Thread Pat Boyle




I've been having some problems getting a 
channelized T1 working with a T100P card. Perhaps someone can help:
 

I have an Eschelon T1 coming into a Vina Integrator 
box.  This box splits out the T1 into an ethernet plug for bandwidth and a 
secondary T1 which I plug into the T100P card. I've connected the two with 
a T1 crossover cable.  
 
I get a green light on the t100p card and can make 
outbound calls.  Inbound calls are not working as well.  Via the 
console, I can see them come in and start the "s" extension, but then they hang 
up.  Then the second channel accepts a call,  then I get a "all 
circuits busy" message on the phone (from my cell as I call in to test).  
I'm testing from my cell phone and never hear a ring or any of the asterisk 
welcome message (even though it's showing in the console). It's as if the call 
appears to be answered by the card, but actually never is.
 
Changing the "immediate=yes" to "no" changes 
behavior somewhat.  Then I get a message in the console that there is no 
extension "6" defined, but if I define it, the problem doesn't go 
away.
 
I am using a channelized T1, not PRI.  So we 
don't have b and d channels.  Just e&m signalling.  Thanks for 
your help.
