RE: [Asterisk-Users] 'Asterisk for Small Office Setup'

2004-07-24 Thread Jay Milk
Surely you mean "grammar"?  Sorry, I just had to point that out :)

Personally, I'd take issue with the title -- if you need to do a
"small-office" setup by-the-book, then chances are you're not
resourceful enough to find the required information online -- and if you
can't even find the basics online, once something doesn't go
quite-as-planned, you're stuck up the creek without a paddle.  

I propose to write a five-page pamphlet based on the excellent "Getting
Started With Asterisk" guide that simply lists what you can do with
Asterisk; what you need in terms of hardware and SKILLs; then walks you
through a basic setup "from scratch" and lists where you can find more
information online.  This would be a worthwhile pursuit once 1.0 is
done.

Most of these questions are for trunks being delivered over a T-1, not 
for PRI. If you are truly ordering PRI service (which is the more 
powerful of the two) then these questions don't apply :-)

[Asterisk-Users] Help with T1 PRI Configuration

2004-07-24 Thread Sakliger


I'm ordering a PRI T1 for use with Asterisk and a Digium Wildcard TE405P.  The provider is asking me a number of questions about how I want to configure the line.
 
Here goes:
 
1. Dial Tone - No, Yes - Precise, Yes - SCC
2. Framing - SF, ESF
3. Line Coding - AMI, B8ZS
4. Signaling Type - Ground Start, E&M, Loop Start w/Ring, Loop Start w/o Ring

I'm not sure of the correct answers to any of these.  I do know that I want to be able to get caller ID and the number dialed for the application that I'm building. 
 
I think from other things I've read on the list that I want B8ZS and E&M with Wink. I'm not sure of those and I have no idea on the others.  So, please help me out if you know.
Thanks.

Where in your channels section do you describe what group the channel is

If it worked "before" then it probably shouldn't have, since there's no

[Asterisk-Users] pseudo zap channel - how to get rid of it ?

2004-07-24 Thread Shahid
Hello all,
Downloaded, compiled and installed Asterisk CVS-04/15/04-17:54:5. Everything
looks fine except I see a pseudo channel in the 'zap show channels'.

*CLI> zap show channels
   Chan Extension  Context Language   MusicOnHold
 pseudodefault
  1default


The result is, I cant use Zap/g1 in extensions, eg this doesnt work anymore:

exten => _BLAXXX,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})

Instead I need to use:

exten => _BLAXXX,1,Dial(Zap/1/${EXTEN})

Here is my zaptel.conf

Here is my zapata.conf

[Asterisk-Users] Layer 3 VPN Question

2004-07-24 Thread Kevin








I am trying to hook up my Cisco telephones to Asterisk using
a Layer 3 switch and am having difficulties it getting it to work. I realize
this may not be the proper forum for a discussion on VLAN architecture and
configuration so I won’t post the question here.  I though I had read
all the requisite information regarding the configuration for this, but perhaps
I am missing something simple. 
Is there anyone who is knowledgeable in VLAN’s
and networking that could offer some assistance?

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin

[Asterisk-Users] Autologout of dynamic agents

2004-07-24 Thread AJ Grinnell








Has anyone had any luck with dynamic agents in queues (addqueuemember) and autologoff? I
have searched, but so far come up empty for a Sip related example.








RE: [Asterisk-Users] Please help I fear I have missed something very important! but what?

2004-07-24 Thread Stuart Buchanan
I had already tried that, however my register statement already specifies to
ring out on ext 1001 so the call isn't an unqualified one so should not look
up the s extension 

register => 2:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/1001

However I put the s extension statements in and the results were the same
with or without the /1001 on the register statement.

When I run the SIP DEBUG command from the console, I can see the CLI of the
phone I am calling from in the sip statements however the asterisk box just
sends out an engaged tone.

A bit of background to the box, it is running a full install of Redhat 9
without the firewall enabled. (I did a full install as I thought it would be
good to learn about Linux as well)

It is not behind a NAT and configured with a static Public IP.

Does anyone know of problems that can occur with a full install of Redhat 9?
As I have read somewhere that someone recommends Redhat 8 and not 9 but he
wasn't specific as to why, does anyone know of any problems (or is it a wild
goose chase to read into it too much)

If anyone else has any ideas I would be much appreciated. Elman Thankyou
very much for taking the time out to respond.

Would any of you suggest blatting the PC and starting again with a basic
bare minimum config, i.e. no GUI

Sorry about this, I have been struggling with the basics of my asterisk
config.
 
I set up two sip peers and two phones. And I set up lots of dial masks
for outgoing calls, all my outgoing calls were working great, however
incoming calls were a different matter altogether, I cannot get incoming
calls to work. So I have gone back to a very basic FWD config, with one
phone which as far as I am aware should work, but doesn't. I cannot find
info on how to fix this.
 
Below is my sip.conf
 
[general]
port = 5060
bindaddr = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
context = sip
register => 2:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/1001
 
[fwd]
type=friend
secret=xx
username=xx
host=fwd.pulver.com
;
;
[1001]
type=friend
username=xx
host=dynamic
secret=xxx
callerid=Home <1001>
dtmfmode=RFC2833
mailbox=1001
context=sip
 
 
and here is my extensions.conf:
 
[general]
static=yes
writeprotect=no
;
[globals]
HOME=SIP/1001
;
[sip]
exten => 1001,2,Dial(SIP/1001,20,t)
include => fwdnet
;
[fwdnet]
exten => _8.,1,Dial,SIP/${EXTEN:[EMAIL PROTECTED],t
 
 
Now as I said I can call out no probs by dialing 8 then the FWD number,
but incoming calls don't work, and as far as I can see that should ring
ext 1001 for 20 secs.
 
Could someone please help a complete Linux/Asterisk Newb, as apart from
this I have learnt a hell of a lot. But it's the last thing I need to
solve.
 
The linux box for this testing has a unfirewalled public IP address, so
there is no problems with NAT
 
Please please can someone help. If I have missed something important
then I aplogise, as I have been scouring the wiki and the archives to no
avail

This is entirely off-topic (well, maybe not), but since you were
looking for extensions.conf information, check out chapter 4 of the
http://www.asteriskdocs.org project.  If you find anything that
doesn't seem to make sense (or is wrong) please feel free to inform
the asterisk-doc mailing list and we'll change it.

The wiki is also an EXCELLENT resource.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Do not buy "Asterisk for Small Office Setup"!

2004-07-24 Thread Remco Barende
But isn't this due to the 'intended audience' for the book?

I just started setting up asterisk, I can dial the test message now (yea! :)
) but I have still to find out how to write an extensions.conf file.

So far I found the book on asterisk.org easier to read than just 
browsing thru the wikis but a book for people starting from scratch could 
be useful too

Are you putting it up for sale? :)

Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] Do not buy "Asterisk for Small Office Setup"!

2004-07-24 Thread John Vogel
Title: Do not buy "Asterisk for Small Office Setup"!







See my previous email but the book is worse than I thought. In addition, to the things I mentioned earlier.


1. The table of contents is not a table of contents. The only chapter heading is "Chapter 1". It is impossible to tell what is in what chapter.

2. The index is not alphabetized!  This renders it useless. Any decent word processor will create a better index with a push of the button.

3. I'm trying to set up fax. Does the book discuss it? No way to tell except leafing through every page.


Summary - use the wiki, Luke. A Googol search of voip-info is faster and provides much more complete, well written information.

Well, I said in my previous email that a fair price for this book is $14.95 not $40. I was wrong. This book does the entire Asterisk community a disservice and should not be purchased at any price. Do not encourage/fund the "author" to produce more such rip offs.





[Asterisk-Users] Please help I fear I have missed something very important! but what?

2004-07-24 Thread Sales








Sorry about this, I have been struggling with the basics of my
asterisk config.

 

I set up two sip peers and two phones. And I set up lots of dial
masks for outgoing calls, all my outgoing calls were working great, however
incoming calls were a different matter altogether, I cannot get incoming calls
to work. So I have gone back to a very basic FWD config, with one phone which
as far as I am aware should work, but doesn’t. I cannot find info on how
to fix this.

 

Below is my sip.conf

 

[general]

port = 5060

bindaddr = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

context = sip

register => 2:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/1001

 

[fwd]

type=friend

secret=xx

username=xx

host=fwd.pulver.com

;

;

[1001]

type=friend

username=xx

host=dynamic

secret=xxx

callerid=Home
<1001>

dtmfmode=RFC2833

mailbox=1001

context=sip

 

 

and here is my
extensions.conf:

 

[general]

static=yes

writeprotect=no

;

[globals]

HOME=SIP/1001

;

[sip]

exten =>
1001,2,Dial(SIP/1001,20,t)

include =>
fwdnet

;

[fwdnet]

exten =>
_8.,1,Dial,SIP/${EXTEN:[EMAIL PROTECTED],t

 

 

Now as I said I can call out no probs by dialing 8 then the FWD
number, but incoming calls don’t work, and as far as I can see that should
ring ext 1001 for 20 secs.

 

Could someone please help a complete Linux/Asterisk Newb, as
apart from this I have learnt a hell of a lot. But it’s
the last thing I need to solve.

 

The linux box for this testing has a
unfirewalled public IP address, so there is no problems with NAT

 

Please please can someone help. If I have missed something important then I aplogise, as I have been scouring the wiki
and the archives to no avail

I'm running HEAD, dilligently updating at least once a day. It still
requires your overrided RTP object since the GW RTP endpoint is on a
different address.

It works with CCM without my hack, provided I don't try to place a call
that routes via the GW behind CCM. It could well be a tweakable on CCM
too, but I only have so much access to it and didn't find such a thing.

Basically, without this hack, or if the call is not answered ms after
it begins to ring, the CCM never ever sends me an openLogicalChannelAck,
which means I never get told to send my RTP to the GW. We send the
openLogicalChannel message - it doesn't get answered.

And in any case, there's no point the CCM/GW sending me ringing audio,
since rtp.c will ignore it until there's a far end RTP address to 
reciprocate to - and which h323 doesn't ask for until after it's
answered.

Chris.

[Asterisk-Users] Hack to make * -> (H323) -> CCM -> IOS GW work

2004-07-24 Thread Chris Luke
The hack below is for OpenH323, not Asterisk. This is not an Asterisk
problem AFAICT. I am posting it here so that any other Asterisk user with a
similar problem might benefit from it. I may or may not post it to an
OpenH323 list, but since both variants of the H.323 channel in Asterisk
use non-current OpenH323 versions, it may not be of any benefit to anyone
anytime soon if I went that route! I've not checked newer OpenH323 source
to see if the hack below can be shifted into the application either.


I've been messing with the companys CCM PBX, which has an IOS based gateway
box with a PRI behind it, and talking to it from my * box with H.323.
For the most part it works. It's in Lonodn UK, I'm (currently) in Boston,
MA, USA. It's all VPNed. People being able to call me has made working
remotely that much easier.

However, placing outgoing calls that went via the GW had issues - if they
weren't answered within a few milliseconds of ringing, then the call would
fail - sometimes you'd get one way audio, sometimes none at all, and the
GW or the CCM always sent a RELEASE within a few seconds, even if not
answered. If you answered the call quckly, within ms of ringing, the call
worked fine.

Any other call (ie, that didn't use the PSTN gateway for outgoing calls)
would work fine too, which was the most baffling. Even incoming via the
PSTN gateway were fine.

The chan_h323 in CVS and chan_oh323 both exhibited the same behaviour.

I'd come accross a number of message in Mantis, this lists archives and
by googling in general suggesting that "H.323 via CCM" "Cisco GWs" and
other combinations of Cisco and H.323 don't work, have less functionality,
need faststart, needs faststart disabled, needs other things doing to it
and generally won't be fixed without money, etc etc. 

So I spent some time pouring over traces, and noticed one difference between
calls that were answered unreasonably quickly and those not. After the
call has been setup and the H.323 neighbors have exchanged their
capabilities, a few tens of ms pass, and then the CCM sends an
openlogicalchannel, so it can pass the audio of the ringing. However,
when answered, the CCM/GW doesn't send back any open message indicating
its RTP address/port.

If you answer it early - the channel messages work as expected in both
directions, and thus it works.

So I hunted down an option to make the CCM not do this. And (eventually)
came across mediaWaitForConnect in the OpenH323 source. It's not something
you can change easily from client applications that I can see, but doing
this:

--- h323.cxx.old2004-07-23 16:04:45.109780688 -0400
+++ h323.cxx2004-07-23 16:04:49.577950415 -0400
@@ -2797,6 +2797,8 @@
   if (hasVideoOrData)
 setupPDU.GetQ931().SetBearerCapabilities(Q931::TransferUnrestrictedDigital, 6);
 
+  setup.m_mediaWaitForConnect = TRUE;
+
   if (!OnSendSignalSetup(setupPDU))
 return EndedByNoAccept;
 
and rebuilding the OpenH323 libraries made my problem "go away".
The CCM doesn't insist on trying to send me any audio until the call is
answered, and when answered the audio streams in both directions get
setup as expected. 

Hopefully someone here will point out an easy way to set this option from
ast_h323.cpp or something - while my C voodoo is strong, C++ is just foo
to me.

YMMV.

Cheers,
Chris.

Anyone have a user configured auto attendant setup?  Something that can
be used without the * admin helping to make changes.

Something where the operator can record the message like 'press 1 for
john, 2 for bill, 3 for jean' and then the operator can enter the
extension that gets dialed when the caller presses 1 or 2 or 3?

This would be useful if Bill leaves the company, the operator can change
the message and put in a different person at 'position 2' and then
change the extension that gets dialed when caller presses 2.  all this
without involving the * admin.

[Asterisk-Users] PBX functions and different channels grouping

2004-07-24 Thread Elman Efendiyev
Hi All,

I need to replace old analog PBX with Asteriskl and X-Lise SIP
SoftPhones as client phones.

First: I have problems with implementation of PBX functions. I need and
unsuccesfully tried theese functions (took info at
http://voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+PBX+functions)

Call Pickup: Supported in the standard installation (*8 - defined in
res_parking.c +54)
- Just don't understand how to define pickup groups

Unattended Transfer (or "blind transfer"): Implemented in Asterisk (#),
optionally also in the phone 
- when I press # on X-Lite it hangs up

Attended transfer: Implemented in Asterisk (FLASH)
- How nj make FLASH on X-Lite?

Call Pickup: Supported in the standard installation 
- How to use it?

Automatic Call Distribution: ACD
- is it possible at all?


Also I tried Transfer command like this:

exten => 9,1,Transfer(SIP/234)

And when I press 9 got thiss error:

-- Executing Transfer("SIP/233-b6ad", "SIP/234") in new stack

Second: Is it possible to group different channels? I need thing like
this:

Try to call ZAP channel, if it's busy (or another problemm with it) then
try to call H323 channel, if busy again try to call IAX2 channel

I found info only for ZAP  channel grouping and dialing channels
simultaneously

Please help me with theese problemms
Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] Should configured devices show up with "show channels"

2004-07-24 Thread Gregory Youngblood
At the CLI, should the command "show channels" list the configured devices
that may be used for calls? Or, is that command simply a way of viewing the
channels on a T1/E1 if you have that type of interface? If the latter,  is
there an equiv. command to list the single FXO interfaces?

If the answer is yes, all configured devices should have something in
channels, how do you map a linejack from /dev/phone0 to channel 1? I can see
in the zapata.conf file where channels may be set, but not in phone.conf.

I'm trying to get * to answer inbound calls. * reports seeing the caller ID
for the incoming call, but never seems to try and actually answer the call.
My "show channels" is also empty, leading me to believe that the phone
module is loaded and generating events, but the component or configuration
that should map from the phone0 device to a channel for * is missing, so
nothing is happening with the events coming from the linejack. Does that
sound plausible?

Thanks,
Greg

RE: [Asterisk-Users] 'Asterisk for Small Office Setup'

2004-07-24 Thread John Vogel

I'm willing to take it on faith that everything in the book works. However,
that is not the only (or even the most important) criteria for a technical
book. A short list of deficiencies includes:

1. Poor spelling, punctuation, grammer. A flat, hard-to-read table of
contents. These characteristics and a lack of good use of white space and
different font types make the content less accessible. For people that
already know the material, the content is understandable but then they don't
need the book, do they?

2. Covers use of a single X100P card. That is not my definition of a small
office (which, BTW, is not defined in the book). I have "small" customers,
e.g. 6 employees, using a fractional T1. And what about a company with two
incoming phones lines?

2. Content/$: A fair price for this book would be $14.95

3. White space: there are so many pages that are blank, or nearly so. What's
the point? It looks like padding for page count (200). The material could be

[Asterisk-Users] Need to block incoming collect calls

2004-07-24 Thread Osvaldo Mundim Junior
Hi everybody,,
I need to block incoming collect calls to my Asterisk box but I could not 
find out where to do that.

Went to zaptel.h but I did not see any timing which can be applied to 
collect calls. Does anybody knows if I can set this up in Asterisk?

I'm using an E100P connected to the PSTN and a T100P connected to a Zhone 
100. Version:
Asterisk CVS-05/30/04-16:28:04

thank you

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Large Enterprises using asterisk

2004-07-24 Thread Carmi Weinzweig
I want to clarify how this works now on *.
First, on a legacy PBX, like a merlin legend, I have phones that have 
shared call appearances so that my assistant can answer my calls or see 
that I am on the phone, or so that I can have one phone on my desk and 
one at my conference table.

This means that if (312) 221-1212 appears on 3 phones and is in use, 
all will indicate that.

Can any hard phones (like Cisco 7960's) be configured that way?

As most users already have a legacy system with a real BLF etc, until
Asterisk has hard phones that have all those features it will be a
tricky sale.

[Asterisk-Users] Question when using a Cisco as a PSTN GW

2004-07-24 Thread micke

HI all

I have a little question, and since there is a  alot of Cisco Gurus
somebody might be able to help me.

I think It is an easy problem.

My PSTN proviver strips the first digit in the callerid on all incoming
calls.

So when the call reaches my Asterisk I am missing a "0" in the CLID

I guess it should be easy to prepend a digit on all incoming calls on a
Cisco 5350 ?  

But I am unsure how a translationrule for that would look like.

Anybody ?

/Regards Mike

hi there
was wondering if anybody knows this..
have successfully installed shady dial and the agent is now logging in successfully
i've enabled postgres debugging and i found out that no request had been made by the shady dialer to query the database for the numbers...
also i am able to login to the queue simply by entering the agent id...
it doesnt ask for the password...it simply plays the agent login ok message
and then does nothing...any ideas why this might be happening??
also am not sure what the technology and group is?? they are both in the global variables...
we are using sip soft phones to login as agent and then the calls are routed using iax2 protocol to another server.

Hello all,

Anyone know where can I get a complete source that describe "all"
options available in the configuration files?
I like to know all available options in configuration files with a
description and a correct syntax.
Another think I would like to understand is what´s the real function
of all files in the modules directory... I found someone in voip-info.org,
but don´t have "all" files described.

Thank you for any help!

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] hang up when going to voicemail


I have a little menu set up where hitting 1, 2, or 3 places the call through
to a cellular phone over IAX.  That works.  However, if caller hits 4 to go
into voicemail, the system hangs up.  Am I doing something wrong in the dial
plan, or is this a CVS change?  I had no trouble with this until I upgraded
to about 07/21 CVS, and I'm on 07/23 [latest] now with same results.

My dial plan:
[txlink]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Background(/txlink/txlink-main)
exten => 1,1,Dial(IAX2/:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/12149490280)

exten => 3,1,Dial(IAX2/:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/18174017579)
exten => 3,2,Hangup
exten => 4,1,VoiceMail(s2147649296)
exten => 4,2,Hangup

Here is console output:

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Priorizing of packets

2004-07-24 Thread Thomas Heiss
I am using ISDN 64k + VOIP (iLBC, G729, GSM codecs only!) + bulk traffic
(FTP, P2P, E-Mail, etc.).

I am using tc, HTB 3.6 + finer tuned wshaper script.

It works pretty well for me.
The callee never misses any VOIP packet from my side.

So I guess HTB + QOS works pretty well, even for VOIP.
I use a VOIP only queue and all queues with fixed rates + correct ceil
values.

I never have tested CBQ yet so I can't tell you, if CBQ outperformes HTB on
VOIP queuing.
