[Asterisk-Users] Re: Odd Zap dialing problem
I may have found a solution to my zap dialing problem: disabling the MMX option in the zaptel drivers. After disabling MMX and recompiling (I had dome some recompiles earlier to adjust tone length and such, with the problem still appearing), it's been over 36 hours since the last no-dial symptoms were seen. -- Seth et lux in tenebris lucet Mattinen [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

As I said actual calls are crystal clear so I believe it to be a problem with Asterisk itself or the machine it's running on. Possibly some bottleneck somewhere. I realize that since it's going over the public internet, the occasional dropped packet is to be expected, but what's frusterating is that I can get crystal clear menus sometimes even when my network is fully loaded and other times when it's perfectly quiet it sounds absolutely horrible...

[Asterisk-Users] bad clicking sounds with Diva+capi+asterisk
Hello, We have been using a Diva 4BRI with our Asterisk PBX through the capi interface for almost a year now with good results. However, recently we started to hear heavy clicking sounds in our phones when two simultaneous incoming calls are processed by the card. The clicking does not originate with the phones as it happens also in voicemail left directly on the server and happens with different phone models. Theses interferences almost prevent us from hearing the remote party and they don't always happen on all simultaneous calls. For instance if we hang up a corrupted call and call back then the line is clean. The clicking sometimes sounds like crosstalk between both lines. After talking on irc with chan_capi's developper (kapejod) it seems the problem might originate from the Diva card. We are using a vanilla 2.6.7 kernel on debian unstable. We recently updated to use the very latest Diva firwmare and divactrl-2.1 without any effect on the problem. I suspect the problem might be related to the Diva 4BRI drivers in kernel 2.6.x as the problem seems to have started when switching from 2.4.x. Has someone had a similar experience? Is there any solution? Thanks in advance for your insight, -- Jesus is coming!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] T1 Hardware Echo Can
Brent, Best think through what you're trying to do here. You have multiple choices on how to interface * to the traditional pstn world, including the x100p, tdm cards, multiple T1 interface types, external gateways, etc. The x100p and tdm cards have an internal 2-wire to 4-wire hybrid that is built into the chipsets on those cards. In order to use an external echo can with them, you'd have to change that to a 4-wire to 4-wire arrangement, which cannot be done. The chipsets weren't engineered for that. Since the majority of echo issues with these two cards are the result of the card's hybrid (and internal * echo can functions), simply disabling the echo can function and attempting to replace that with an external echo can box won't accomplish anything. (The problem is already existing in front of that external box.) If you install a T1 card and an external T1 mux (with fxo cards), the echo can function already exists within the mux and/or cards. Don't really need 'another' external echo can box unless you actually purchased a T1 mux that didn't have echo can in the first place (and they do exist). If you install a PRI (or related types of channelized T1 arrangements), you don't need an external echo can function as those interfaces are generally 4-wire to 4-wire interfaces already. If echo exists, its generally the result of other interfaces (located somewhere else) and those locations should be addressing the corrective actions needed to resolve the issue. If you only need a small number of fxo ports, pstn gateways in the form of Cisco boxes, Mediatrix 1204, as well as many other products can do that at a relatively inexpensive cost. The echo can function is built into those boxes, which do work. Each comes with additional considerations or issues however. Lots of choices - Original Message - After reading the lists and taking reccomendations from TC, I have finally given up on the echo can built into asterisk. I am sick of hearing complaints from users, so the money spent on a hardware echo can will be worth its weight in gold. I am curious however, about some setup and component requirements. It seems as if every telecom place I call, either never calls back or doesn't have a clue what I am talking about. Does anyone have any good companies with competent sales/engineer people who would help put together a solution. Also, for anyone that has hooked up a echo can before. Do you have to buy such a large shelf? Obviously things things are intended for ILEC installs, however, I can't find anything geared towards the PBX realm. It seems everything on Ebay is a 32 module shelf rack. Thats a bit over kill for us. Further, I would imagine this setup. Please correct me if I am off base. I would have a straight T1 cable from the Channel Bank to the Echo Can, and then a X-over from * to the Echo Can. How are these solutions (e.g. Tellabs) wired up? Are there RJ45 connectors on the back of the shelf, or is it a strip the wire and twist method? Any assistance that anyone can provide to myself (and the list) would be greatly appreciated, as there are many people who would benefit from this...

[Asterisk-Users] X101P FXO with RED alarm
Hi, I've just added an X101P FXO card to my asterisk machine. The card is detected ok but zttool always shows it in a RED alarm state, which I understand means that it doesn't detect the line. I've connected the card via the line socket to my analogue line using the cable that came with the card (and have also tried other cables too) but I always get a RED alarm.

Asterisk sees the zap channel (or at least it shows up with 'zap show channels') but always sees it as busy, presumably because of the red alarm. The other thing of note is that when the zaptel driver is loaded, attempting to play MOH causes the entire system to lock up and require a reboot.

Hi Rich, Thanks for your heads up. See comments below. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich Adamson Best think through what you're trying to do here. You have multiple choices on how to interface * to the traditional pstn world, including the x100p, tdm cards, multiple T1 interface types, external gateways, etc. Currently, I have a T100P card with a T1 crossover cable connected to an Adtran Total Access 750. We did have an Adit 600, but had a lot of problems with it (static, etc) and thought it was the channel bank. Long story short, ended up not getting along with Carrier Access, returned it and bought Adtran. Adtran CS is much friendlier from my expierences. So therefore, we are stuck w/ a CB without impedance matching :( The x100p and tdm cards have an internal 2-wire to 4-wire hybrid that is built into the chipsets on those cards. In order to use an external echo can with them, you'd have to change that to a 4-wire to 4-wire arrangement, which cannot be done. The chipsets weren't engineered for that. This shouldn't be an issue here. Our X100P's on a smaller branch office do not have that much echo, and we don't hear complaints from these users. If you install a T1 card and an external T1 mux (with fxo cards), the echo can function already exists within the mux and/or cards. Don't really need 'another' external echo can box unless you actually purchased a T1 mux that didn't have echo can in the first place (and they do exist). Our Adtran does not have an echo can built in. I couldn't find any Channel Banks that have this feature. Do you know of any?

If echo exists, its generally the result of other interfaces (located somewhere else) and those locations should be addressing the corrective actions needed to resolve the issue.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] strange echo problem
We have a strange echo problem. Maybe echo isn't the correct term. When we make a call f/ a SIP phone (we have several 7960's, some 3coms, and I've even tried a softphone, all on the same 100BaseTX network) to the pstn, if the person I'm calling has a PRI or channelized T1 f/ Bell, then the sound is perfect, couldn't be better. If I make a call to a person with a plain POTS line, I hear everything I say in my earpiece about 1/4 second after I say it. It's very irritating.We have tried 2 different * boxes, using 2 different T1/PRI cards f/ digium. After calling digium about it, we set echotraining to 800 in zapata.conf. It got better but was still there, if I turn the volume down on the phone, it does almost go away, but it's still detectable. No where near as clear as calling a person that has a PRI or channelized T1 for phone service. The POTS persons we call that we do have the echo issue with all say the call sounds perfecto to them. Am I missing something obvious? We experience the exact same issue, and like Rich said in a subsequent post, I'm thinking there's a gremlin hiding somewhere in the * code. Everyone said you shouldn't have to even use echo canceling on a T1 PRI, but we do or we get serious complaints, instead of consistent minor complaints. FWIW, it still was around in the 6/29 CVS and we just updated again last night. For us the echo is a slight faint echo now that we implemented the echotraining=800, but it's still there. We haven't touched TX/RX gain. We can also give anyone access and a SIP account if that would be helpful.

As Steve already said, generally speaking echo cancellation hardware on T1/E1 interfaces is an option adder. If it doesn't mention it, it doesn't have it.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Avoiding transcoding
Dr. Murphey: How can one specify that codec selection should avoid transcoding if possible? Asterisk only transcodes if the original audio stream needs to be connected either to (a) another audio stream or (b) an internal Asterisk function -- and the original audio stream is encoded in a format that is not compatible with the other audio stream or Asterisk function. The reason I ask is that when enum lookup succeeds and the destination only accepts ULAW, the various transcodings seems to garble the audio if GSM, ILBC, etc. are allowed. To illustrate the point above further, if you have a destination that only accepts ULAW, and an audio stream in GSM or ILBC, you must transcode. It is simply not an option since ULAW is not GSM, Asterisk has to convert (transcode) the ULAW samples into GSM samples and vice versa. Either I've misunderstood your question, or you have a different understanding of transcoding than most. Hope the above helps and apologies if I've completely missed your point.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Three (quick?) questions...
1) X100P from Digium. We currently have four of them in one machine (started with one, then added a second, then went all the way up to four) and they're working great. Put the X100P into a cheap PC (we're using a 1.7 Ghz Celeron system, I believe), add Linux and Asterisk, and you have a full-featured PBX for cheap. 2) Either put a TDM400P in your box and use up to 4 standard analog phones, or get something like the IAXy from Digium or a Grandstream HandyTone or BudgeTone. The Grandstream phones aren't the best, but they're probably the cheapest for SIP connectivity. A last option would be a software solution using IAX or SIP, but that requires another computer for each extension. 3) No experience with T1 here, but we'll probably need to look at something else when we eventually need to add more lines. -Zak ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I developed a small std-local driver that can help you : - cross connect two PRIs - and get a monitoring feed (imagine a Y cable), so that you can do (read-only) analysis on the PRI traffic. But I doubt that's what you want to do there. What you may want to do is being able to use the legacy PBX, as well as Asterisk features. For that, you need to : - setup Asterisk for the PRI connection to the telco (pri_cpe) - setup Asterisk for the PRI connection to the legacy PBX (pri_net) - setup your dialplan (extensions.conf) so that : - Asterisk talks to the telco the right way - Asterisk talks to the PBX the right way - Asterisk forwards calls to/from the PBX the right way - Asterisk does whatever else you want it to do It's not that hard. However, it will probably involve some trial and error, and your PBX users might not like it. -- Nicolas Bougues Axialys Interactive ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

RE: [Asterisk-Users] T1 Hardware Echo Can
Hey Brent, If you only need a small number of fxo ports, pstn gateways in the form of Cisco boxes, Mediatrix 1204, as well as many other products can do that at a relatively inexpensive cost. The echo can function is built into those boxes, which do work. Each comes with additional considerations or issues however. The mediatrix boxes do look good. I'll have to consider for next project. There are a couple of things to watch out for on the Mediatrix that aren't well published. - their only support is through their resellers, and most of those seem to be traditional pbx folks that don't have a background involving asterisk - they are highly focused towards 1104 to 1204 compatibility and toll bypass, and have little interest in ensuring rfc compliance or support for non-Mediatrix interfaces - all software upgrades/fixes are chargable - silly little things get in the way (eg, better have the same ring cadance on all four pstn lines attached to the 1204, or the 1204 won't answer some lines) - excellent echo can functions, worked like a charm after spending a very large amount of time tweeking poorly documented technical parameters through a PC SNMP (only) management interface.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] T1 Hardware Echo Can
If you install a T1 card and an external T1 mux (with fxo cards), the echo can function already exists within the mux and/or cards. Don't really need 'another' external echo can box unless you actually purchased a T1 mux that didn't have echo can in the first place (and they do exist). Just to be clear here there are a lot of channel banks, fact most that are suggested here (ta 750, ab i/ii, adit 600 and zhone etc) that dont have have echo cans that do benefit from the hardware echo cans eg Since there has been more then a few people interested in fxo channel banks, do you (or anyone else) have any recommendations for specific models that have optional echo cans? ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

A telco switch operating a DS1 on trunk side should enforce caller-id numbers to be within the range of DID numbers assigned to that trunk. There should be a default DID number that is used to replace any *invalid* numbers sent on that trunk. Note that blocked caller ids would still be blocked, but the rest of the data should be corrected. Blocking ID is ok, lying about it is not. Blind trust of a non-SS7 link is a _bad_ thing. PRI signalling enables Network provided or User provided caller-id. Maybe IAX could implement such a thing. It's very common in France (at least) : - the network will provided a guaranteed caller-id - the user (CPE) may provide another one (usually, a DID number) and the called party gets both. Unfortunatly, as far as I understand, Asterisk is not really designed to handle more than one caller id number. -- Nicolas Bougues Axialys Interactive ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Avoiding transcoding

Asterisk only transcodes if the original audio stream needs to be connected either to (a) another audio stream or (b) an internal Asterisk function -- and the original audio stream is encoded in a format that is not compatible with the other audio stream or Asterisk function. The reason I ask is that when enum lookup succeeds and the destination only accepts ULAW, the various transcodings seems to garble the audio if GSM, ILBC, etc. are allowed. To illustrate the point above further, if you have a destination that only accepts ULAW, and an audio stream in GSM or ILBC, you must transcode. It is simply not an option since ULAW is not GSM, Asterisk has to convert (transcode) the ULAW samples into GSM samples and vice versa. Is it possible to configure asterisk to select a codec common to both channels? Per your example, I tested a call from XTEN (sip) that allowed ULAW or GSM, through asterisk, to a destination that accepts only ULAW. XTEN(SIP) - asterisk - SIP destination It should be possible to avoid transcoding, but asterisk shows this: Peer User/ANRCall ID Seq (Tx/Rx) Format 216.234.116.184 1800246846 1b07a93b13f 00102/0 ULAW 172.16.0.100 xtenEEE6B555-5B 00101/09156 GSM Because the destination is found by enum lookup, it's not possible to know which protocol or codec in advance.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Three (quick?) questions...
Hi, T1 is the carrier. T1 provides 24 D channels of 64Kbps each. Telephone companies provide ISDN (integrated services data network) on top of T-carrier. Two common flavors are BRI (basic rate interface) and PRI (Primary rate interface.) BRI provides two 64 kps channels, PRI provides 23 usable channels, the 24th is used for signalling. So--you can get phone calls over a T1 or over a T1 that is provisioned as a PRI. You can get 24 calls on a T1 and 23 on a PRI. A T1 has 24 channels. You can split, that is partialize, the channels between data and voice. You can do this with hardware outside the * server. Higher end Cisco routers, for example, support this. You can also use * and linux to partialize the T1. You better plan on spending a lot of time on making it work if you do it this way. You have to install the Linux packages to split the line.

Paul, The question is very simple. When I call a SIP user, the phone should ring in more than one extentions. Also more than one phone should be able to register with asterisk. Right now it is not the case. The last phone which register will be receiving the calls. This type of situations might be needed in call centres. Called 12345 |---(12345) Ringing |---(12345) Ringing |---(12345) Ringing So you don't need to disturb asterisk when you add more devices to it to receive calls.

But under an arrangement like this, how will asterisk know when a phone which had registered from some IP has re-registered itself sometime later on a different IP? Such a situation could happen in a dhcp environment. Automatic time-outs may be able to avoid or minimize the impact of something like this. What other difficulties might come up? Although the idea does have appeal, it seems like the increased potential for problems outweighs any inconvenience incurred by modifying a line in extensions.conf.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] New Asterisk bounty: SIP simultaneous registry
in other SIP proxy server, this can be done easily, i mean its default 1 or more phone could be registered at 1 number (12345) and resulting same effect as u ask SER (SIP Express Router, http://iptel.org/ser) can deal with this SER is a friend to asterisk, i think :), you can accept calls with SER and pass it to asterisk to process complex dialplan but if this feature implemented in asterisk alone, it would be nice *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 11/07/2004 at 6:00 Kannaiyan Natesan wrote: Paul, The question is very simple.

Such facility is not available in asterisk at this moment. I hope this helps.

You have an administrative assistant and several other staff. You want the administrator to be able to take calls directed to the staff extensions? If I have the requirement right, you could accomplish this by ringing the staff extension and the admin extension at the same time. The Dial command allows you to ring multiple extensions simultaneously. If you want to be able to more easily recognize what extension the traffic if for, you can add additional extensions to the 7960. For example, if you have two staff the admin monitors, add two additional extensions to the 7960. The admin can tell who is being called by the extension that rings.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] VoIP hackers gut Caller ID
Hi Guys, This topic has become pretty much pointless. CallerID was never designed to be any kind of authentication scheme. Also, it is very hard for telco to restrict proper usage of CallerID in PRI or SS7 (Please consider number protability, etc.) We all already agreed on fact that author of this article are moron. Let's not discuss any ideas of making CallerID secure or ajusting IAX to carry 2 or 3 CallerID records. All of this is pointless. If someone conducts business based on CallerId, it's up to them. If somebody comits crime with fake CallerID, it's also fine. People, this world is not perfect. There are thousands of telco companies where you will be able to find somebody who does not enforce proper CallerID. There are bunch of telephony guys who can do a lot of stuff, which you can't even think about it. But people, please do not write articles like that and do not publish it on MSNBC, NY Times and CNN.

McKee wrote: This has always been one of my pet peeves, even as I worked in the industry. A telco switch operating a DS1 on trunk side should enforce caller-id numbers to be within the range of DID numbers assigned to that trunk. There should be a default DID number that is used to replace any *invalid* numbers sent on that trunk. Note that blocked caller ids would still be blocked, but the rest of the data should be corrected. Blocking ID is ok, lying about it is not. Blind trust of a non-SS7 link is a _bad_ thing. PRI signalling enables Network provided or User provided caller-id. Maybe IAX could implement such a thing. It's very common in France (at least) : - the network will provided a guaranteed caller-id - the user (CPE) may provide another one (usually, a DID number) and the called party gets both. Unfortunatly, as far as I understand, Asterisk is not really designed to handle more than one caller id number. -- Nicolas Bougues Axialys Interactive ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
