Even if you had no card you could use the ztdummy module and even though that might be off by a bit, surely it'd sound better than a connection which is experiencing packet loss? I'm note sure what you're referring to with the 1000 interrupts per second. Asterisk, as it stands, only reacts to incoming frames. If nothing is received then nothing is sent. The authors obviously didn't take packet loss into consideration. Ah, yeah the 1000 interrupts was referring to the interrupts generated off the digium cards (and why they don't much like interrupt sharing)... Yeah I know, it has implications in silence detection as well as PLC. I kinda meant why doesn't someone fire off whenever the interrupts add up to 20ms (or whatever size packet the voip traffic is coming in in) and process packets then...(not that I know much about the internals). When a packet is received, the expected time of the next packet is calculated. A while ago, I proposed that some sort of empty frame frame could be scheduled for now + next ETA. The arrival of the empty frame would wake up the receiver and, with the help of the jitter buffer, it could determine whether to pass on that frame to the translator, or to drop the packet as a duplicate. Some codecs could recognise the empty frame as a trigger to run their perform packet loss concealment code, whereas others (with no PLC) could simply treat it as a silent frame. Hmmm, this sound good. This all seems possible to me, but I haven't seen a discussion relating to this proposal nor any other alternatives. Take this over to -dev?

We use asterisk coupled with swyxIt via a gnugk (version 2.0.8) and oh323 module: both swyx server and asterisk register on the gnugk. asterisk receives sip calls from the exterior and routes them to the gk. I've set up a prefix on swyx so that if I prepend +996 to my phone numerb, the call gests routed to asterisk (which, in turn, strips the prefix and sends the call via iptel or iaxtel.

Is there any possibility to connect Asterisk with Swyx? how? Commercially we took a look at Swyx, it has great Windows (Active Directory) integration. But despite Swyx told us for nearly a year now that SIP support was coming we still haven't seen anything yet. So we left Swyxware where it belongs: on the shelf ;-)) 95% of innovations in VoIP are based on SIP I wonder why uou want to set up a system like this. Merely for testing purposes? Or does it have real life implications? Yes!! It s just for testing Purpose. If calling with swyxit is imminent then you can bypass the Swyxserver alltogether. And the Swyxserver can be hung on PSTN also, so if you need the AD integration than you can bypass the * server. I?m Tryin to connect the PBX without using ISDN or any Hardware. i already have a Nikotel Account to Be reachable under a regular phone number. but this is not possible to achieve with Swyx because it is based on H.323 and not SIP. I know this does not answer you question, and I'm not into H323. But like all other * users I've plowed myself through the Wiki and Googled a lot for answers. So if even I stumble on H323 on Asterisk info then it must be possible for you too. IMHO it must be possible to set up a system you describe, my hunch would be installing * on a testPC with H323 support, then first try to attach some softphones (like Swyxit) and the route through Swyxserver. Already Done for testing purpose. * with OH323 Plugin, works with 12 PC Clients (using Xlite(SIP),OpenPhone(H.323),IAXCOMM)and can also make calls to PSTN and be reachable from outside the LAN.

[Asterisk-Users] Hangup() doesn't always when talking to Nortel Norstar over CT1 E M wink-start trunk line?
I've noticed a problem with calls to Hangup when talking to my Norstars over channelised T-1 EM trunk lines - it's been present since I started to fiddle with Asterisk last December and it's still present in 'Asterisk CVS-HEAD-08/13/04-10:37:13'. Specifically, when a call is connected to Asterisk from the Norstar DTI card to my T100p I get the following conditions depending on the dialplan: exten = _6869,1,Hangup ; T1 channel stays up on the Norstar, but silent. ; -vvv says: -- Hungup 'Zap/24-1' ; show channels says: 0 active channel(s) exten = _6869,1,Answer exten = _6869,2,Hangup ; T1 channel stays up on the Norstar, but silent. ; -vvv says: -- Hungup 'Zap/24-1' ; show channels says: 0 active channel(s) exten = _6869,1,Answer exten = _6869,2,Wait(1) exten = _6869,2,Hangup ; T1 channel correctly drops on the Norstar. ; -vvv says: -- Hungup 'Zap/24-1' ; show channels says: 0 active channel(s) Asterisk always thinks the calls completed gone. For what it's worth, I have my Discon timer in the Norstar T1 card programming turned right down to 60 from the default 460 with no change - though I'm not certain exactly what this does... I get this issue whenever a call traverses the dialplan and, for what ever reason, is hungup by Asterisk without having previously been answered for at least a fraction of a second. Perhaps because this is EM wink the handshake isn't completed until the Answer is executed, thus the Hangup leaves the Norstar stuck half way?

Heh, good old BT. I've never tested voice over Business Highway, as every BT engineer/support/sales person I've spoken to swore blind that it wouldn't work - and in BT's eyes, if they say it won't work, it's unsupported, therefore, if it breaks - you're on your own. Also, I don't believe you can get the full range of 'BT Select Services' or whatever they call them today on the Highway lines (things like Call Deflection, and even caller id on the home highway lines, I believe) TBH, If the line is used for voice, and you don't want the other analogue lines that come with highway, go for ISDN2e - it's a full ISDN service, and you won't get moaned at when you use it for voice. If you want sequential numbers, then you'll have to argue like mad to get them as MSNs (I managed to get a block of 5 sequential MSNs, but it was hard work!). DDIs are issued in blocks of 10 and are usually sequential. DDI's are ALWAYS sequential - it's the main thing BT push about them - and they'll also try and sell you DDI's based on that fact when you want to order MSN's. Depening on the department/person you speak to, you may/may not be able to get sequential MSN's, although BT state that for seq. numbers you MUST have DDI's. The other thing to watch out for when you order the lines is which rental option you take out. BT offer three different options ('start up', 'call plan' and 'low start') each with different installation costs, rental charges and call allowances - if you don't specify which one you want, they'll pick one for you (and probably at random). BE CAREFUL! The calling plans sound quite attractive, but irrespective of what sales say - the call allowance ONLY covers local and national calls, NOT non-geo, mobiles, or international calls. I've just had a huge row with BT High Level Complaints (we deal with them so often now, we just skip the standard complaints department and call them directly) - the salespeople will tell you it covers every sort of call you make on the line - they're talking out of their lower hole...

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Digit detect during a Background() inside a Macro wrongly jumps b ack to the calling context to match digits?
Alas, the dialplan itself is more complicated than I quoted in the problem case below: There is an outer context that gathers digits from DID trunks, pads the patter to comply with the corporate dial plan and then goes into [macro-process-routing], thus: [infrom-did] exten = s,1,DigitTimeout,2 exten = s,2,ResponseTimeout,5 exten = s,3,Answer exten = s,4,Ringing exten = _XXX,1,Macro(process-routing,6${EXTEN}) ; This turns the 3 digits coming down the DID trunk into 4 digit dialplan numbers Then, inside [macro-process-routing] there are a reasonably large (100) number of different patterns which each handle custom routing strategies for each DID number - they're seperated out from the [infrom-did] context because [macro-process-routing] is itself a target for incoming calls from other internal Asterisk servers, who're using 4 digit dialing. Those DIDs with IVRs are intended to be spun off into seperate macros with self contained logics (such as [macro-6800-interceptor]) so their digit collection strategies don't collide. However, I'm limited to one IVR at the moment because the digit collection entries have to be back up in the [macro-process-routing] routing context. So, no - unwrapping the submacros isn't really feasable. :-) -Original Message- From: el Flynn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 27, 2004 1:38 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Digit detect during a Background() inside a Macro wrongly jumps b ack to the calling context to match digits?

[Asterisk-Users] Re: Asterisk mysql database
I have just completed a project where I have just implemented running extensions.conf from mysql. When the extension is called, the dialplan passes the extension together with the calling number a to a perl agi script. The perl script does a couple of sql queries and sets a few variables which tells asterisk how to route the call. Here is an example of the extensions.conf exten = _X.,1,AGI(SetVariablesFromSipToZap.agi|${CALLERIDNUM}) exten = _X.,2,SetCIDName(${CallerIDFullName}) exten = _X.,3,SetGroup(SIP/${OriginalCallerIDNumber}) exten = _X.,4,GotoIf,$[${RecordCalls} = 1]?5:7 exten = _X.,5,AGI(SetRecordOutgoingFromSip.agi|${CALLERIDNUM},${EXTEN}) exten = _X.,6,Monitor(gsm,${MonitorFile},m) exten = _X.,7,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN}) exten = _X.,8,StopMonitor exten = _X.,9,Hangup This works pretty well for me.

[Asterisk-Users] 'set verbose 3' or other way to get '-vvv' level debugging out of running background asterisk?
I'm having a dialplan problem on one host where trunks get pinned up flapping between 't' and 'i' states and start eating lots and lots of CPU (loadavg 4.00). I haven't been able to pin down the problem reading through extensions.conf and test calls haven't caught it yet either. Unfortunatly the offending trunks are FXO immediate start DID trunks so subsequent callers are falling into an essentially dead link. Not all trunks go out at once which makes me think it's got to be a user-generated fault. I'd like to be able to connect to the running asterisk, issue 'set verbose 3' as is documented in the wiki and get '-vvv' style real time state information - but 'set verbose' doesn't appear to do anything when I'm connected using 'asterisk -r'. Should it work the way I'm anticipating in 'CVS-HEAD-08/13/04'? Alternatly, how would I go about configuring things so the '-vvv' style state information is collected into a file from the backgrounded Asterisk? That way I could at least do a post-mortem on the dialplan logic after it next goes off to the races. Thanks.

[Asterisk-Users] Updated app_mysql.c, enabling use of INSERT and UPDATE
Hi, For those interested in using MySQL directly from extensions.conf, there's already a source file floating around for using a MYSQL application to do SELECT queries. We're using the MYSQL app a lot in our exensions.conf, but we missed support for queries that don't return a result like UPDATE or INSERT. Here's an updated app_mysql.c which introduces the Execute command. Sample: exten = s,300,MYSQL(Connect connid ${HOST} ${USER} ${PASSWORD} ${DATABSE}) exten = s,301,MYSQL(Execute resultid ${connid} UPDATE table SET haveSetting = 1 WHERE dnid=\'${CALLERIDNUM}\') exten = s,302,MYSQL(Disconnect ${connid}) This somewhat mimics the way the Borland implements this type of queries in their products like Delphi. It is a quick hack, but we've been using it for a couple of days now and have not seen any issues with it. (yet? ;-) ) Enjoy. -- Andreas SikkemaRits tele.com Scheepmakersstraat 11 3011 VH Rotterdam t: +31 (0)10 2245544f: +31 (0)10 2245540 app_mysql.c Description: app_mysql.c ___ 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

Here's the options I have, as I see it: i) Two Digium X100Ps. Pro - cheap (c. £120), CE approved. Con - UK line impedance mismatch, with resulting echo problems, plus needs two PCI slots. ii) Digium TDM400P with two FXO modules. Pro - still fairly cheap (c. £200), and can be set to UK line impedance, plus only uses one PCI slot. Con - Not yet CE approved. iii)Voicetronix Openline 4. Pro - reasonable price (c. £310), CE approved, only uses 1 PCI slot. Con - UK line impedance mismatch. iv) FXO gateway: - Multitech MVP210. Pro - UK line impedance, no PCI slot needed, good local technical support, CE approved. Con - expensive (£590 list) - Mediatrix 1204. Pro - As above, plus not so expensive (£389 from Telappliant). Con - can't get to see manuals to check functionality until you buy it I'm leaning towards either the TDM400P with 2xFXO, or the Mediatrix 1204, though because of the cons I'd like to hear from folks that have successfully used these in this type of configuration in the UK before I shell out for them! -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd.

Kevin Walsh wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 27 Aug 2004 at 2:33, Kevin Walsh wrote: There is no packet loss concealment in Asterisk at this time. Why doesn't asterisk clock to the 1000 interrupts per second instead of the incoming audio? Were there no interrupts available when it started? Even if you had no card you could use the ztdummy module and even though that might be off by a bit, surely it'd sound better than a connection which is experiencing packet loss? I'm note sure what you're referring to with the 1000 interrupts per second. Asterisk, as it stands, only reacts to incoming frames. If nothing is received then nothing is sent. The authors obviously didn't take packet loss into consideration. When a packet is received, the expected time of the next packet is calculated. A while ago, I proposed that some sort of empty frame frame could be scheduled for now + next ETA. The arrival of the empty frame would wake up the receiver and, with the help of the jitter buffer, it could determine whether to pass on that frame to the translator, or to drop the packet as a duplicate. Some codecs could recognise the empty frame as a trigger to run their perform packet loss concealment code, whereas others (with no PLC) could simply treat it as a silent frame. This approach also is not fully right. On a system that implements silence suppression and uses discontinuous transmission (DTX), the receiver has a very tough job. I know that the current implementation of Asterisk doesn't work well with silence suppression but this doesn't mean that the design of a solution shouldn't take into account the full scenario. Look at the RTP stack of the receiver. When a packet is received, there are two cases: a) An RTP packet carrying voice frames is received. In that case the decoder will play the voice frames. b) A CN (Comfort Noise) packet is received. In that case the decoder will generate background noise (or do nothing). Now the hard part. Nothing is received (while something was expected). These are the normal interpretations of this situation: a) The transmitter detected silence and sent nothing (Silence). The receiver knows it from the last packet received (a CN packet). b) The transmitter sent a packet but the packet was lost (Packet loss). The receiver knows it from the last packet received (an RTP packet). These conditions can be identified at the RTP stack and signalled to Asterisk through the use of a new frame type (as you propose above). But, of course these are not always correct and the following situations could also happen: a) The transmitter detected silence and sent nothing but the last CN packet was lost. According to the above interpretations, the receiver will try to conseal a packet loss, which is wrong. b) The transmitter sent an RTP packet, that packet was lost and the last packet correctly received at the receiver was a CN packet. Again, following the above interpretation, the receiver will do nothing (or more accurate, will play some background noise), while it should conseal the packet loss. These cases cannot be identified, so the receiver just can only guess about what really happened and act accordingly. This all seems possible to me, but I haven't seen a discussion relating to this proposal nor any other alternatives. I hope that the above issues will start a discussion and result to a solution, no just for PLC, but also for the DTX operation.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk to Vonage
When I initially signed up with Packet8 and they sent their converter, I used a X100P card in my Asterisk server so that it could send and receive calls through Packet8, I suspect the same trick would work for Vonage. The benefit is you can then have several phones in the house, or one at work, or a softphone in your laptop, register with your Asterisk server and then you can place and receive unlimited local/long distance calls through your Vonage account. You can also have Asterisk answer and you can use it's IVR/Automated Attendant functionalities. You will be limited to only 1 inbound/outbound call at a time though. I eventually canned Packet8 in favor of BroadVoice, $19.95 a month, unlimited local and long distance, and I've tested up to 6 inbound calls at the same time and it worked.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Echo SIP-T100P-PRI
Have you considered relocating the hard drive (or Asterisk configs) and the T100P card to a temporary machine? Even a lower class machine, just to eliminate the SuperMicro as the possibility? I'm interested in your research as we will be deploying some low end $800 1U (very short) SuperMicro servers out in the field equipped with T100P cards in them. They have Celeron 2ghz processors, 512mb of RAM and a regular IDE hard drive. But if there is an incompatibility with the way SuperMicro makes their motherboards, then I need to stop them from placing the order for 10 of these units on Monday.

[Asterisk-Users] Queues - CallbackLoging Automaically?
Been trying to set up a call queue with agent call back without the need for the agent to have to log in. Have set up the queue sucessfully. However I want to remove the requirement for agents to have to log in as they are on static extensions. Is there a way of either using extentions in the queue.conf instead of agents? Or an automatic way of logging in the agent to the callbackloging function? Have come up on a dead end reading up and would appreicate any help..

[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 - SCCP or SIP?
Hi All I have recently downloaded Asterisk and was so impressed I thought I would setup a home server and I went out and got myself a couple of cisco 7940's. (and a sipaura 3000!). thanks to various posts on this list and the voip-info site I have managed to get chan_sccp setup and working with the 7940's but the I tried to get the messages, services and softkeys working. It seems this is where some sort of black magic needs to be used as I cannot find any way of getting them to work which leads me to the main question Is it better to use chan_sccp or SIP? I know these phones can work in either mode I was just wandering which is the better format and which has the most functions implemented? Its a simple home environment that I am planning but it would be good to be able to use the softkeys to transfer calls and to pickup messages.

According to the above interpretations, the receiver will try to conseal a packet loss, which is wrong. I would propose that after x lost packets, Asterisk should treat all further lost packets as CN. The proceeding x packets should be interpreted as RTP packet loss and run through the concealment routine. Well, no matter what kind of concealment algorithm is used, just the first one or two packets will be concealed. The rest losses will result in no-playback. No CN interpretation, just absolute silence. That's true - unless there's some logic to say that after x lost packets, the line state should switch to CN generation instead of silence. The line state would switch back once a fresh RTP packet is received. b) The transmitter sent an RTP packet, that packet was lost and the last packet correctly received at the receiver was a CN packet. Again, following the above interpretation, the receiver will do nothing (or more accurate, will play some background noise), while it should conseal the packet loss. In this case, there is nothing to conceal anyway, as the last received data was a CN packet. In this case, the CN state should be continued until an RTP packet is received and the line state can be changed. Exactly. So the receiver, in case of no-receiption, should go back and see what was the last packet correctly received and act as I described above.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Can't flash 7960: P0S30200 .bin not found
Lol. Known issue, I spent an hour working on that problem. The phone's current firmware is too hold and does not support longer filenames like that. You have to increment the firmware versions, 2 or 3 firmware upgrades and you'll be ready to use the latest and greatest. Try upgrading to P0S30203.bin first. Apparently Cisco has some kind of filename checking thing, as when I tried to rename P0S3-05-3-00.bin to P0S30503.bin it didn't take, neither did P0S3-06-3-00.bin to P0S30603.bin First I went to P0S30203 and then I went to P0S3-05-3-00 and then I went to P0S3-06-3-00 and then finally to P003-07-1-00 (Which is some kind of boot loader that then loads the SIP firmware, strange how 7-1 does it). However, I now have a phone that has an even older firmware, one that won't even take P0S30203.bin like the other one did. I'm reading and I think I need P0S30200.bin or P0S30200.bin ; I may even end up upgrading the Skinny/SCCP firmware a few versions before it'll jump to the SIP firmware.

[Asterisk-Users] Using regular expression in dialplan
Hi all, Did anyone manage to make the GotoIf command work with regular expression ? I would like to make the following thing: ${DTMSeq} contains a menu choice. Only 1, 2 and 3 are allowed menu choices. If DTMFSeq contains 1 or 2 or 3 = OK, Goto 4 else Goto 2 I've tried the follwoing syntax but it is alway going to 2 whatever the value of DTMFSeq: exten = s,1,GotoIf($[${DTMFSeq} : 123]?4:2) exten = s,2,SetVar(InvalidCount=$[${InvalidCount} + 1]) . exten = s,4,SetVar(Result=ok) The only way I managed to make it work is the following : exten = s,1,GotoIf($[${DTMFSeq} : 1|2|3]?s|4:s|2) But I'm not totaly satisfied with it as I'm going to check more complex regex later ...

To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi All I have recently downloaded Asterisk and was so impressed I thought I would setup a home server and I went out and got myself a couple of cisco 7940's. (and a sipaura 3000!). thanks to various posts on this list and the voip-info site I have managed to get chan_sccp setup and working with the 7940's but the I tried to get the messages, services and softkeys working. It seems this is where some sort of black magic needs to be used as I cannot find any way of getting them to work which leads me to the main question Is it better to use chan_sccp or SIP? I know these phones can work in either mode I was just wandering which is the better format and which has the most functions implemented? Its a simple home environment that I am planning but it would be good to be able to use the softkeys to transfer calls and to pickup messages.

According to the above interpretations, the receiver will try to conseal a packet loss, which is wrong. I would propose that after x lost packets, Asterisk should treat all further lost packets as CN. The proceeding x packets should be interpreted as RTP packet loss and run through the concealment routine. Well, no matter what kind of concealment algorithm is used, just the first one or two packets will be concealed. The rest losses will result in no-playback. No CN interpretation, just absolute silence. That's true - unless there's some logic to say that after x lost packets, the line state should switch to CN generation instead of silence. The line state would switch back once a fresh RTP packet is received. b) The transmitter sent an RTP packet, that packet was lost and the last packet correctly received at the receiver was a CN packet. Again, following the above interpretation, the receiver will do nothing (or more accurate, will play some background noise), while it should conseal the packet loss. In this case, there is nothing to conceal anyway, as the last received data was a CN packet. In this case, the CN state should be continued until an RTP packet is received and the line state can be changed. Exactly. So the receiver, in case of no-receiption, should go back and see what was the last packet correctly received and act as I described above. Maintaining an audio state flag (CN/RTP) would be the key here. The difficult part to handle would be late or out-of-sequence RTP packets. These should be ironed out by the jitter buffer. Late, lost and juggled packets are to be expected when dealing with UDP. Actually this is not so difficult, if there is a jitter buffer.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk to Vonage
FWIW, I've had Broadvoice running for two or three months now. Very reliable, good folks in tech-support helped with the initial asterisk config and getting me SIP credentials. Since my set-up as a home-pbx, incoming calls ring all my extensions (Sipuras) all the time. If someone's already talking, they hear a call-waiting beep (again, Sipura config) while the other extensions are rining. It's truly confusing to my wife, yet delightfully functional. For Vonage, I've kept my ATA186 to retain two number associated with it. I've added a $10/month softline and configured the hardline to simulring, so all Vonage calls come in via the softline now. This also has worked flawlessly for around two months now. I'm considering wasting a previous FXO port on the ATA186 to utilize the 500 outgoing minutes I have, but between the unlimited state-wide calling (from Broadvoice) and the 500 long-distance minutes on the softline (and simpletelecom's beta), we don't even need those minutes. Economically, I'm considering getting rid of Vonage entirely. They currently cost us $25/month, and that's just to get a certain area code that's unavailable elsewhere. For $25, we could receive a lot of incoming 800# calls... Someday. -Original Message- From: Doug Shubert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 27, 2004 8:51 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk to Vonage ok.. could we add a 'hunt group' to * and roll incoming calls over to several extensions?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Asterisk compatible E1 cards
First there's Analog R2 and digital R2. I'm concerned with digital R2 (R2D) only. R2 is equivalent to the american robbed bit signalling used in the US. Q.421 is the ITU document number. It costs money to download the specification. And it is only the generic part of it, it doesn't cover the country-to-country specifics. I have a document in Portuguese for the Brazilian R2D specification, meaning the specifics for our country. I'm intending to write it, but I'll only have the hardware about 1 month from now. For India, you would need to contact the Indian telephony regulatory agent, maybe they have it available over the Internet, I got the Brazilian document through our national agency's site. Also, before you can plug a Digium card to any Indian telco provided E1, you need to get the card certified, otherwise it can get you jail time/fines, at least in other countries.

Hi all, I have a need where ACD ringall and ACD roundrobin ring strategies will be combined.

I've starting probing the code for ACD, but I'm wondering if I would be better off just waiting for ICD to become a little more mature, as the documentation for ICD states it is possible, via the config (?), to combine stategies?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Overhead Paging
Traditional overhead paging systems are a little more complicated than they first appear. It's not just speakers and a centralized amplifier. They would have too much cable loss if done that way. Instead, they use a centralized power source, and amplifiers at each speaker unit.. The one I just took apart used 3 wires in series to the overhead speakers, and each speaker unit had an independent volume control and an onboard transformer on the unit. One of the wires (black) carried 60V. Green was ground. The last wire (smaller than the rest) was the audio signal. The audio signal ran into the transformer and modulated the 60V signal, and the output went to the speaker. Neat contraptions. Don't hurt yourself. -ejay -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Shaw Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 5:35 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Overhead Paging - Original Message - From: Brian Pavane [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Chris Shaw [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 2:39 PM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Overhead Paging Chris, What you're talking about is exactly what I'm looking for.

[Asterisk-Users] auto-gain, or different gain between incoming and outgoing calls (EURO ISDN PRI) ?
Hi, I am using Asterisk with various brands and models of SIP phones. Especially the Welltech phones LP201 are particularly nasty with volume and echo. Even with the input gain (microphone) of the Welltech set to the max, the PSTN end can hardly hear the SIP user on incoming calls. Ztmonitor also only gives a level of around 3 === from the SIP phone. I have to increase the rxgain and txgain by about 4 - 7, but then all my other phones are so loud that it distorts and the echo-canceller can't compensate (on outgoing calls only). The ringing noise also is at full level (deafening loud). I have also noticed that incoming calls from PSTN into the TE405P to SIP are amplified differently than outgoing calls from SIP to PSTN. It seems the TXgain is not used on incoming calls... Are my observations above expected, or is there something wrong with the code? Is auto-gain implementable / recommendable so that all the SIP phones will sound the same (volume-wise) to the outside PSTN user, and vice versa ? Could we build this into the sip configuration so that individual gain per phone is adjustable if needed ? Here is a cut-out of my zapata.conf (just in case I am really stupid :-) [channels] context=default switchtype=euroisdn signalling=pri_cpe usecallerid=yes hidecallerid=no callwaiting=yes callwaitingcallerid=yes threewaycalling=no transfer=yes cancallforward=yes echocancel=yes echotraining=yes echocancelwhenbridged=yes rxgain=5.0 txgain=7.0 immediate=no ; Channels inherit configuration above them ; Span 1 group=1 context=default signalling=pri_cpe channel = 1-15 channel = 17-31 ; Span 2 group=2 context=ppms signalling=pri_cpe channel = 32-46 channel = 48-62 ; Span 3 group=3 context=default signalling=pri_cpe channel = 63-77 channel = 79-93 ; Span 4 group=4 context=default signalling=pri_net channel = 94-108 channel = 110-124 Hope anyone can shed some light on this.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk to Vonage
The way I interact with BroadVoice though isn't officially sanctioned, I didn't prefer to use their Asterisk Only SIP gateway, in which they charge you 3.2 cents a minute (or whatever) when you exceed the first line. Where did you get this info? I have been using broadvoice for 2 months now and have never heard of this? I have heard of the 3.2cents a minute thing, but have never experienced it myself, I occasionally have calls on more than one line when others are using the phone and I don't know it... ok.. could we add a 'hunt group' to * and roll incoming calls over to several extensions? This totally defeats the purpose of VoIP This is going back to circuit-switched mentality... Remember that in VoIP a Line is just a username assigned to you by an ITSP, it can be a name or a number... You don't need rollover because it's just a connection like someone sending an E-Mail to your SMTP server... I realize what you mean, getting several accounts and Rolling them over so you can have multiple call appearances, but this breaks the whole idea of a pure VoIP setup... At $20-30 a month, you might as well use a TDM400P and add a second PSTN line, there are plans out there where when you sign up for a 2nd line you get unlimited long distance...

[Asterisk-Users] questions and recommendations
Hi Yawl, After about 6 months of prattting about I've convinced my boss that we should be installing * into our currently under constuction Data Center in Somerset NJ. There will be 10 permanent people and DR space for another 50. My plan is as follows; ATAComm dual XEON server with quad T1 board. A handfull of ATA's for fax machines, job lot of X-Pro softphones for the DR bit, Polycom IP conference phone and a bunch of SNOM 200 phones for the permanent staff. Connection to the main office will be via SIP to a Cisco router we already have connected to the main office Lucent PBX. Does this sound like a runner? Comments please. Also, I'm having a problem trying to work out how to configure a group pickup line. I know I can add the pickupgroup line in sip.conf but that only allows me to do *8 when someone elses phone rings. What I want to do is have a button on every member phone that lights up when line 5 rings. Then if the call is for Fred rather than me, Fred can press the line 5 button and take the call. This is working on our Lucent currently Thanks folks. -- Mark Phillips, G7LTT/KC2ENI Randolph, NJ http://www.g7ltt.com/ ___ 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] IAX2 -- IAX2 confusion, it doesn't work...
I am trying to get two * boxes to communicate with eachother. I have read http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+-+dual+servers as well as information on IAX channels, the Dial() command, and the switch statement in extensions.conf. But I am having no luck. I have a working * box running with a Zap card that I want to be the server machine. I have another little box running * with just a single SIP phone attached that I want to be the slave machine. I am trying to get to where I can dial an extension on the SIP phone and have it connect to the master * box and dial an extension there in the internal context. As per the dual+servers document, I have the following in the iax.conf on the side with the SIP phone (the side to dial out of): register = asterisk:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ... [MainServer] type=user secret=lilbuddy context=internal I have no port= set because I want them both to default to the IAX2 port. On the side with the TDM card, where I want to call from the SIP phone to, I have the following in the iax.conf file: [asterisk] type=peer context=internal secret=lilbuddy host=dynamic dual+servers then goes into an example that I cannot comprehend: [default] exten = _801XXX,1,Goto,left|${EXTEN}|1 exten = _802XXX,1,Goto,right|${EXTEN}|1 [left] exten = _801XXX,1,StripMSD,3 exten = _XXX,2,Goto,1 switch = IAX/left [right] exten = _802XXX,1,StripMSD,3 exten = _XXX,2,Goto,1 switch = IAX/left I can see that if a call matches 801... or 802... it will go to the left or right contexts respectively. And the first thing it does there is strip off the first three digits and goes to the resulting extension. That takes us to the Goto(1). Where does that go? Does the switch = statement do the same thing as an include, but it hops to another server? And in this case, what does IAX/left mean? and why is it included in *both* left and right? The explanation in the wiki page for extensions.conf is as confusing: [iaxprovider] switch = IAX2/user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/context What exactly does this do? There are no extensions and it's not clear to me if this is to be included into another context or seomthing. So, looking at other pages in the wiki, I have decided to try to just use the Dial() commant to reach over to the main * box (the one I want to call to). So on the box with the SIP phone, I have the default context for the SIP phone with this as the only entry: exten = _XX,1,Dial(IAX2/asterisk:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Which should call 192.168.0.250, go into the internal context, to the given extension. On the Master, in the internal context, I have extension 22 to ring my desk phone. This has been tested and works. So what should happen is that I pick up the SIP phone, dial 22 and it will execute the Dial(), login to 192.168.0.250, extension 22 in the internal context, and ring my desk phone. What happens instead (starting from a CLI invokation of asterisk -vvvc on each machine) is: The master loads all it's configuration and gives me: *CLI I start the little slave box, and I get: The slave loads all its configuration and I get *CLI. The master does not indicate a registration at all of the slave, but iax.conf on the slave indicates to register. So here we sit. I pick up the SIP phone and dial 22 and on the slave (to which the SIP phone is connected) I get: *CLI -- Executing Dial(SIP/grandstream1-c62b, IAX2/asterisk:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) in new stack -- Called asterisk:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Aug 27 11:40:30 WARNING[131080]: chan_iax2.c:5352 socket_read: Call rejected by 192.168.0.250: No authority found -- Hungup 'IAX2/192.168.0.250:4569/2' == No one is available to answer at this time So I can see that it executed the dial as it should have, and that the id and secret match that in the iax.conf file on the main server.

[Asterisk-Users] FXOs
Hi All, I'd really like to see a show of hands with regard to people's experience with FXO interfaces. I own a few X100p cards and have had nothing but problems with them. I also took part in Sipura's beta program, for the SPA-3000. While it can be an improvement over the X100p, it presently has echo problems that make it unusable. Sipura has not acknowledged the problem ( at least to me) although several in the user community make refernce to new firmware that might address the issue, real soon now. I see a lot of activity recently on-list about the TDM-400. Of course, mentions on-list are more than likely the result of people having problems. We don't hear about people who have no issues with a product. So, the nature of my inquiry is to explore how many people out here have good/great experiences with the various small FXO adapters? While the TDM-400 is my next possible purchase I'd also like to hear about devices from Welltech, Clipcomm, Micronet, Multitech, Immixtel, etc. With so many products being offered I would hope that we have some collective experience with each one.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Overhead Paging
... Instead, they use a centralized power source, and amplifiers at each speaker unit... I've never seen one like that, That would suck nut bigtime... Especially if you had a large building with 100+ speakers, you would have to tune the volume on each one... That's not how the TAMB works, it has a centralised volume control I think he was describing a PA system that has either lots of speakers or very long cable runs. It use to be rather popular in those cases to use an amplifier that produced higher voltage audio (and therefore the need for lower current per speaker) to avoid the loss of power to each speaker due to the cable runs, etc. In that case, a step-down transformer was required at each speaker (or room), and if the customer wanted room volume controls, then an additional control had to be wired to the speaker. I would seriously doubt whether folks see much of that anymore. Lots of other ways to address boat-loads of speakers and long cable runs with current technology.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] GRSecurity and ALSA on a Gentoo Server
Deon Rodden wrote: I've been working with Asterisk for about 2 months now and am doing well. However I decided to switch platforms from Fedora Core 1, that my predacessor was using, to Gentoo, for obvious reasons. It just seems faster and less bloated everything I need, nothing I don't. Anyways, I've read what the Wiki had to say about it and I was only confused on one thing, putting ALSA in my USE statement. It's a 1U server with no Sound Card. I did not choose to put ALSA in my USE flags as I don't have a sound card. But will Asterisk suffer in any way? I know that Asterisk is fully capable of running on a machine with No Sound card, my Fedora servers have no sound card, but by ommitting alsa in my USE flags, will Asterisk be compiled in a way that would make it less functional? No. There is no problem installing or running it with USE=-alsa. My last question, sorry guys (and girls), is about the grsecurity in the 2.4 kernel (I chose 2.4 instead of 2.6). I set it to low for now, as it said it wouldn't cause any compatibility issues with 99% of the programs. Has anybody tried medium, or even high, with Asterisk? How secure can you get the kernel without interfering with Asterisk. Yes, I use asterisk with grsec on high. No problems. This is just more of a comment, but if anybody see's anything wrong with it I'd like to know. I don't want to use the 0.9.0 ebuild (but I emerged it just to get the dependencies taken care of) so I emerge'd the CVS program so that I can upgrade libpri/zaptel/asterisk from 0.9.0 to the latest. The The Wiki mentions something about CVS and points to: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33345 but that link is dead. I figured I'd just CVS Asterisk the normal way, do the make install and it should upgrade it. I don't use the portage ebuild for Asterisk, so I don't really know. However, after a brief look at the ebuild, it looks like everything is in the right place. To be sure, though, I would 'emerge unmerge asterisk zaptel libpri' and install these fresh using the normal configure/make/make install methods from the CVS sources.

[Asterisk-Users] No audio on PRI channel answered by Playback() or MeetMe()
Does Asterisk need a sound card or functional Console/dsp to answer inbound DID number from PRI and playback .gsm files?I can call from any of the SIP extensions on Asterisk and hear audio from Playback(), MeetMe(), or MOH. The problem I am having with calls from my PRI is as follows:I have an Asterisk (CVS-HEAD-08/25/04-20:28:51) currently interfacing a NEAX 2400 IPX with PRI. I have a single DID number that rings in from the NEC IPX on PRI Span 1, trunk group 1. If I assign the inbound DID to ring an extension on Asterisk, ie. SIP/2000, it in fact rings and when answered I have a complete 2-way voice path. If I change the destination of the inbound DID from SIP/2000 to MeetMe() or Playback(), Asterisk will answer and I can see from the CLI the .gsm file being played but there is no playback audio heard on the calling extension.If I assign the DID to ring extension SIP/2000 and then after time-out send it to MeetMe() or Playback() it works and the caller hears the .gsm file. Any assistance in solving this problem is appreciated.What follows are two examples from what I tried in extensions.conf:This works but is not desirable:[nec_pri]; Digital PRI from the NEAX2400exten = 2688,1,Wait,1exten = 2688,2,Dial(SIP/2000,3,Tr)exten = 2688,3,Wait,1exten = 2688,4,MeetMe,|Mpsexten = 2688,5,HangupThis will answer, but there is no audible playback on the channel:[nec_pri]; Digital PRI from the NEAX2400exten = 2688,1,Wait,3exten = 2688,2,MeetMe,|Mpsexten = 2688,3,HangupThis is what is displayed from the CLI while the calling station is connected via PRI: -- Accepting call from '2502' to '2688' on channel 0/4, span 1 -- Executing Wait("Zap/4-1", "3") in new stack -- Executing MeetMe("Zap/4-1", "|Mps") in new stack -- Playing 'conf-getconfno' (language 'en') -- Playing 'conf-getconfno' (language 'en') -- Playing 'conf-getconfno' (language 'en') -- Executing Hangup("Zap/4-1", "") in new stack== Spawn extension (nec_pri, 2688, 3) exited non-zero on 'Zap/4-1' -- Hungup 'Zap/4-1'MDBRIDGE*CLIThank you,--LJ ___ 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] FXOs
I personally am running a couple of X100p cards, a couple of SPA-3000s and a T100P. The X100p cards seem mostly flawless, I do have issues if I am trying to use both at the same time. I suspect it's due to interrupt sharing, it just hasn't bothered me enough to go fix it. The other issue with the X100p (which isn't a big deal eaither..) is an echo when I start the call. I can hear my own echo for 5-10 seconds then it goes away and I don't hear it any more. (This is SIP-*-X100p-PSTN.) I suspect it's the echo training learning?? The SPA-3000 seems to work well also with little or no echo. I put it in-line with my phone at work. So, all my work phone calls go in/out on this with no real problems. The only issue that I have (and again, it hasn't bothered me enough to go fix it yet..) is two stage dialing. When I place an outbound call, * gives me dial tone. I dial and the line starts ringing. The SPA-3000 picks up, I hear dial tone, it dials the number and rings. Although, I guess it is nice to know what's going on with the call. I'm also using another SPA-3000 at my parents house. (They run a bed and breakfast - so 911 is an issue there.) I route all outbound calls to 911 through the FXO port. Other than that, the FXO port isn't really used. (I'm trying to talk them into letting it take their voicemail.. but they're not quite ready for that.) Then I route the bat phone to my *. The T100P is mostly in a testing phase right now. We have a test PRI at the office (used for testing dial up internet equipment and our Interactive Intelligence phone system at the office.) I have that run into a T100P in a * box. (400Mhz Celeron right now.. ) I route all my outbound local calls through that box. I would like to use VOIP for outbound long distance at the office. However, due to internal management issues we can't directly connect the Interactive Intelligence box directly to VOIP. So, I was going to use pri_net signaling with the T100P and feed an ISDN PRI into the II box. All of these are connected to one of 4 different * boxes through IAX2. ie.. I dial out from the house, it goes down to a * box at the office then over to the dev box with the T100P. (Office drops out through then IAX2 transfer.) All that seems to work very well.. with little or now problems. (* has a very high backgroundability factor.. ie, put it in place, forget it, and just use it.)

Have ran both the x100p's and tdm04b (4-port fxo) for several months. In the US, both are usable however the software drivers still are in need of some serious help. Most of the issues revolve around: - interrupts, pci bus or something like that resulting in echo (which appears to be system/motherboard dependent), and echo cancellation functions that have only a limited range, - transmission levels (rxgain/txgain) are not anywhere near useful outside a rather limited range (without causing other problems) - less then stable causing failures that result in having to reboot the entire system (stopping and restarting * and the drivers do not always work). - callerid reliability runs about 80% of what a cheap analog phone bridged onto the pstn line displays. I don't know of anyone that is actually working on correcting the issues, and part of that is likely the result of most users inability to document the problems (since its oftentimes necessary to get the interfaces back up as soon as possible). I've tried the Mediatrix 1204 gateway, and although it works, support is less then acceptable for any serious production use. Echo was non- existant, but lots of other issues when attempting to use it with anything other then four exactly-equal pots lines. The company appeared to be near bankrupcy, therefore any/all software upgrades are chargable. Support is limited to their resellers only and a large percentage of those are not familiar with any voip systems other then whatever commercial products they happen to sell. The company's focus is still in the toll bypass arena using the 1104 and 1204 together. I've not tried most of the other 4-port (or so) boxes as they seem to be very over-priced. I've got a spa3000, but have not had enough time to mess with it in any serious manner. The small amount of testing that I've done make it appear to be a nice box. Hope to learn more about it in the next few weeks. The market seems to be lacking a reasonable/reliable product in the two-to-six fxo port range. Above six ports, seems the channel bank approach becomes more economical, reliable, and easier to support.

[Asterisk-Users] Someone please try MeetMe MOH with latest CVS and GS phone
I have today reported a bug with the latest channel.c (1.134) that affects music-on-hold for the first user in a MeetMe room when calling from a Grandstream BT102. The music is broken up about 5-10 times a second. It doesn't happen when calling from Firefly. It is also fine on both clients with 1.133 of channel.c. I am using the ALAW codec. Mark at Digium can't reproduce the problem, although I don't know a) whether it is specific to GS phones, and b) whether Mark has a GS phone to try. Please could others with a similar setup try it? The app command is MeetMe with the M flag. The bug report is at http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0002312 Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://tony.mountifield.org ___ 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] No audio on PRI channel answered by Playback() orMeetMe()
You should be able to hear the audio - a sound card is not involved. Try inserting an answer command in the dialplan before you try to play something. Like Answer Wait (if you want) Playback Hangup Should work (using the proper dialplan commands) Regards Scott Stingel Scott M. Stingel President, Emerging Voice Technology, Inc. Palo Alto California London England www.evtmedia.com _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Shields Sent: Friday, August 27, 2004 9:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] No audio on PRI channel answered by Playback() orMeetMe() Does Asterisk need a sound card or functional Console/dsp to answer inbound DID number from PRI and playback .gsm files? I can call from any of the SIP extensions on Asterisk and hear audio from Playback(), MeetMe(), or MOH. The problem I am having with calls from my PRI is as follows: I have an Asterisk (CVS-HEAD-08/25/04-20:28:51) currently interfacing a NEAX 2400 IPX with PRI. I have a single DID number that rings in from the NEC IPX on PRI Span 1, trunk group 1. If I assign the inbound DID to ring an extension on Asterisk, ie. SIP/2000, it in fact rings and when answered I have a complete 2-way voice path. If I change the destination of the inbound DID from SIP/2000 to MeetMe() or Playback(), Asterisk will answer and I can see from the CLI the .gsm file being played but there is no playback audio heard on the calling extension. If I assign the DID to ring extension SIP/2000 and then after time-out send it to MeetMe() or Playback() it works and the caller hears the .gsm file. Any assistance in solving this problem is appreciated. What follows are two examples from what I tried in extensions.conf: This works but is not desirable: [nec_pri] ; Digital PRI from the NEAX2400 exten = 2688,1,Wait,1 exten = 2688,2,Dial(SIP/2000,3,Tr) exten = 2688,3,Wait,1 exten = 2688,4,MeetMe,|Mps exten = 2688,5,Hangup This will answer, but there is no audible playback on the channel: [nec_pri] ; Digital PRI from the NEAX2400 exten = 2688,1,Wait,3 exten = 2688,2,MeetMe,|Mps exten = 2688,3,Hangup This is what is displayed from the CLI while the calling station is connected via PRI: -- Accepting call from '2502' to '2688' on channel 0/4, span 1 -- Executing Wait(Zap/4-1, 3) in new stack -- Executing MeetMe(Zap/4-1, |Mps) in new stack -- Playing 'conf-getconfno' (language 'en') -- Playing 'conf-getconfno' (language 'en') -- Playing 'conf-getconfno' (language 'en') -- Executing Hangup(Zap/4-1, ) in new stack == Spawn extension (nec_pri, 2688, 3) exited non-zero on 'Zap/4-1' -- Hungup 'Zap/4-1' MDBRIDGE*CLI Thank you, --LJ ___ 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] Asterisk Max TNTs
Hello, Im having some problems with audio on outbound sip to pstn calls from Asterisk to a Max TNT. When I place the calls it connects but I hear pulsing / clicking for the first second or two of the call. My service provider seems to think that the issue may be a result of improper handling of the RTP extension headers. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Advice on BT ISDN Services (UK)
OK. You need one of the following: Home Highway Business Highway ISDN2e I can confirm that * works happily with all three - my office lines are (for various reasons, none of which apply any more!) on Business Highway. Heh, good old BT. I've never tested voice over Business Highway, as every BT engineer/support/sales person I've spoken to swore blind that it wouldn't work - and in BT's eyes, if they say it won't work, it's unsupported, therefore, if it breaks - you're on your own. Also, I don't believe you can get the full range of 'BT Select Services' or whatever they call them today on the Highway lines (things like Call Deflection, and even caller id on the home highway lines, I believe) BT fully support voice on Business Highway, they just assume that most people will use it for data. Most of BT's 'Digital Select Services' are not available on Home Highway, but are available on Business Highway. As I recall the only service not available on Business Highway, but is available on ISDN 2e is DDI across multiple 2B lines.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Advice on BT ISDN Services (UK)
Well I've just called BT, the confirmed to me that MSNs can only work with PTMP and DDIs with PTP. As for the seqential MSN issue, they have Complete tosh! As I said earlier, we've got it - and have ordered it with additional lines as well, if you really want it, just argue more, and talk to a specialist if required. However, Is there any reason (other than cost) to use MSNs over DDIs or the other way round? There is no real reason, but with ISDN2e you will be able to spread the DDI across multiple lines, something they won't do with MSN.
