RE: [Asterisk-Users] QOS Device?

2004-12-16 Thread Shoval Tomer
Seems interesting enough.
I have two questions.
a. what are you running on Fedora Core to shape the traffic?
b. let's say that you have VPN site to site tunnels from the FW behind the QoS 
machines towards a branch office and that some of the traffic in the Tunnel has 
higher priority then other traffic. The QoS device sees it all as encrypted 
traffic and can't help there. What would you suggest? 
would placing the QoS machines elsewhere help?

Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] QOS Device?


I will be putting documentation together shortly on how to build a 
high-availability QoS setup using 2 spare PCs and 4 NICs. I've been very 
successful with this approach for a T-1 that shares both Citrix and Video 
Conferencing + normal web traffic and such. The real key is a combination of 
packet prioritization with traffic shaping. The QoS boxes I build use Fedora 
Core 1 and are configured as bridges. This way, you just drop them into the 
right spot on the network and don't have to change routes or anything. Also, I 
put ntop on them, so they can monitor traffic statistics to/from the WAN. They 
use Spanning Tree Protocol (part of the bridge-utils package) to make the 
solution high availability. All traffic routes through the primary QoS box, but 
if it fails traffic goes through the second box. I took this approach because I 
was using old HP Vectras (Pentium 200 Pros) that have old drives in them, which 
_will_ fail at some point. The Vectras were just sitting on the shelf, and I've 
got more customized shaping going on than any cookie cutter solution will give 
you. Here's a simple diagram: 

     - 
     |      T-1      | 
     - 
             |

        | switch  |

Hi,
you control which controller a call goes out by specifying the relevant msn.

configs something like (of top of my head):
capi.conf
[interfaces]
msn =12345
controller=1

msn = 54321
controller=3

extensions.conf
exten = _0664.,1,dial(capi/54321:${EXTEN})

exten = _.,1,dial(capi/12345:${EXTEN})

first line would send call out of controller 3, 2nd line sends it out 
controller1 .

You are going over the open Internet which does not have QoS.
Unfortunately it is unlikely that you will be able to get rid of that 1%
of packet loss which will cause the occasional break in your audio.
Perfect audio is just not possible over an imperfect transmission medium
using current technology. Packet loss concealment might help to some

[Asterisk-Users] My Boss wants background music!!!!

2004-12-16 Thread Satchid
Dear Members,

I am searching for a new PBX for the company. My choice is Astrisk. My Boss
wants background music via all the telephones. This is done in a
conventional PBX that he wants, but I can use the Asterisk PBX if it can do
this also. 
As I said he needs background music on every telephone this is not to be
mistaken with music on hold. 
The bit stream is an MP3 file of 8 Kbs. At the server it might be at the
maximum 570Kbs if it has to send it individually to each telephone. 
The network: 10/100 layer-3 switches with QoS on a 1000Mbs backbone.

Please, is there a way to get this done, otherwise I have to say goodbye to
Asterisk (unless my boss gives in).

Thank you all

Willy

[Asterisk-Users] kewlstart - explanation of this method, please ?

2004-12-16 Thread Samudra E. Haque
Hello, is there a full guide to what kewlstart is supposed to do with FXO or
FXS lines ? is it only applicable to one of the interfaces FXO -or- FXS but
not both ? I asked earlier if FXS lines can be made to reverse polarity, and
someone else pointed out that the chipset on the FXS ports seems to support
it, perhaps the driver in the asterisk zaptel interface module needs to be
modified to support it..

but the discussion that I found below in
http://massis.lcs.mit.edu/archives/back.issues/recent.single.issues/V23_%23392,
seems to suggest kewlstart already having such a feature. Where can we learn
more about what kewlstart does and what / how it does it ?

 thing.  I was told that Verizon certainly doesn't offer it.

 I suspect that someone in Verizon knows how to provision the switch

 do I find that person?

 No it is _not_ reasonable.   Not for a _residential_ POTS phone line.

 If you want to pay for a 'commercial rates' _trunk_ line, Then you can
 start talking about things like wink start vs ground start vs
 loop start, EM vs TR, MF vs DTMF signalling, etc., etc.,
 ad nauseum.

 FWIW: kewlstart isn't a telco line type like a loopstart or
 groundstart trunk line. Its a special mode of the Asterisk soft PBX
 system that takes a normal loopstart line (ie. a POTS line) and
 watches for a certain event on it to handle line drops (ie. remote
 disconnect detection) better than normal loopstart signalling.

 (ie. a posting on the Asterisk users archives from the main author
  kewlstart is what we call loopstart with battery drop. this is also
  known as far end disconnect supervision to some people. Basically
  when the switch hangs up on you, it drops battery for a fraction of a
  second to signal that you've been hung up on.

 As such, you won't find any telco offering it, because its a special
 mode that Asterisk has for its FXO cards on a plain old loopstart
 telephone line. Its not surprising at all that nobody at any telco has
 heard of it, and the OP is barking up the wrong tree for nothing.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] g711 ulaw vs alaw


Hi All,

Can someone explain to me the difference between g711's ulaw and alaw
codecs? Is it just different header info or is the actual payload in
each encoded differently? I have thus far noe been able to find any
difinative  information onthe matter. All I've managed to find out
that they are similar, they sound the same and that it doesn't
matter which you use. Could someone knowledgable please enlightmen me?

[Asterisk-Users] Monitoring an active call

2004-12-16 Thread Aram Ter-Martirosyan
Hello,
Would it be possible to monitor an extension in asterisk real time (not
record and than monitor).  To call an extension on asterisk and be able to
monitor specific extensions, by punching in that extension number, maybe a
password too (for training purpose).  The calls are not in conference group,
just a regular call from extension to outside number.
If yes how can we set it up?

Thanks in advance

Aram

 Dear Members,
 
 I am searching for a new PBX for the company. My choice is Astrisk. My Boss

 conventional PBX that he wants, but I can use the Asterisk PBX if it can do
 this also. 
 As I said he needs background music on every telephone this is not to be
 mistaken with music on hold. 
 The bit stream is an MP3 file of 8 Kbs. At the server it might be at the
 maximum 570Kbs if it has to send it individually to each telephone. 
 The network: 10/100 layer-3 switches with QoS on a 1000Mbs backbone.

Most hardware phone systems will do this, and its circuitry is related
to station paging and hands free autoanswer intercom. I was wondering
about this feature myself, but more interest in station paging and HFAI.

You can do this with a multiline phone by setting up  an extension like 
this:

 exten = 201,1,SetMusicOnHold(emp)
 exten = 201,2,Answer()
 exten = 201,3,MusicOnHold()
 exten = 201,4,Hangup
Then be sure you have the emp music class setup in musiconhold.conf:
emp = quietmp3nb:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/emp,-z
This works fine. Users use one line to dial in to this and let it run on 
speaker phone.
When a call comes in, it is on another line and can be picked up.
When they hang up, they resume the music line.

[Asterisk-Users] Automated callback with .call file

2004-12-16 Thread Jason Goecke
Hello,

I am attempting to write a script to launch a callback
based on a dial-in service.  I have created this call

Where I first attempt to dial the callback user
(channel) and then connect the call to the number they
dialed (extension, which is valid for connecting via
the dialtone context), I get the following error:

---

I think there is a bit more difference. The byte code of ulaw is a 
monotonic function of the amplitude whereas in alaw the code is xor:ed 
with a bit mask of 0x55. 

Also, the quatization function is different, though the same general idea 
is used. If the difference is important to you you should read the 
standard itself.

[Asterisk-Users] Voicemail Pager Subject?

2004-12-16 Thread Ian Chilton
Hi,

I have set emailsubject in voicemail.conf as follows:
emailsubject=New Voicemail from ${VM_CALLERID} in Mailbox ${VM_MAILBOX}

This works fine, but the pager e-mails come through with New VM. I
would like the pager e-mail to be the same subject as above as I get
this as an SMS to my mobile phone.

I thought this would be config'able but I can't find any mention of it
on the wiki or in any examples. I've tried setting pagersubject (a
guess) and this didn't do anything.

Is this possible or is the New VM subject for pagers hard coded in the
source code?

An alternative if this isn't possible is to remove the pager and just
send the e-mail version to my phone - can you send a voicemail
notification to multiple e-mail addresses or do I have to create an
alias on my mail server?


Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] Making sip show channels show sane results with sipfriends from mysql?

2004-12-16 Thread Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk
hi
using sipfriends from mysql from asterisk 1.0 branch, how can I make 
asterisk show the true channel's current codec with SIP SHOW CHANNELS? 
This does not seem to work, and bkw_ said sipfriends from mysql didn't 
have that info at all. For what it may seem, asterisk uses G.726 as 
told, giving me a
-- Format for call is g726
at the start of the call, but in SIP SHOW CHANNELS all these turn up as 
ALAW calls, although SIP DEBUG looks like it's really running G.726.

It'd be really nice to see some real data here...

[Asterisk-Users] SPA-3000 - Stop Message Waiting Indication

2004-12-16 Thread Ian Chilton
Hi,

I have my Sipura SPA-3000 setup with Asterisk as follows:

[spa3k_line1]
  type=friend
  context=home
  secret=PASSWORD
  host=dynamic
  dtmfmode=rfc2833
  dissallow=all
  allow=ulaw

When an incoming call comes in, I have a Zap interface in Asterisk which
just does a Wait,15 then answers with voicemail.

The SPA-3000 detects the PSTN call and makes Line 1 ring - so I can
answer the phone if i'm around - if not, Asterisk gets to the end of the
15 seconds and answers the call.

However - I have a strange problem - after a person leaves a voicemail
message, I get a stuttered dial tone on the phone attached to Line 1 of
the SPA-3000 and it does 1 ring every now and again. How can it be doing
this if I dont have a mailbox= line in the asterisk config?

Any ideas how to stop the SPA-3000 detecting a message is waiting?

For now, I think i've got rid of it by disabling MWI and VMWI on the
SPA-3000 config but it would be nice to do it in Asterisk so my spa3k
config is as generic as possible.


Thanks

(there is some but it's not bad according to the other side).

 I can't change the T1 router to something that supports QOS because it has
 certain redundant features with an ISDN line which are needed.

You could always use a Sangoma A101u and a CAPI card in a Linux box.  :-)  The 
HDLC features in the Digium T100P are still being ironed out, IIRC.  
Sangoma's been doing it for literally years if not coming up to a decade yet.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] QOS Device?

2004-12-16 Thread rsenykoff

what are you running on Fedora Core to shape the traffic?

Traffic Control tc is included
in the 2.4 kernel and forward. See http://lartc.org/. Basically,
I have a script that is setup as a service to set up the bridge and the
traffic control queues.

let's say that you have VPN site to site tunnels from
the FW behind the QoS machines towards a branch office and that some of
the traffic in the Tunnel has higher priority then other traffic. The QoS
device sees it all as encrypted traffic and can't help there. What would
you suggest? 

If you want to shape VPN traffic, then
you would need to place the QoS behind the VPN box. So long as you can
route _all_ of your WAN traffic through QoS, it will be effective. Our
VPN traffic is all considered 'bulk' traffic so it isn't a concern of our
setup. Encrypted traffic is still a pain though. With Citrix for example,
all of our users are hitting the Metaframe server which has all traffic
encrypted with SSL all the way back to the client. So... I'm unable to
separate out Citrix printer traffic from interactive traffic. I just have
to look at source / destination (IP of our colocation facility) to determine
priority. We were able to come up with kind of a workaround though. We
put in a print server at colo instead of printing directly from the clients.
So this way the print server connects over the VPN to send a print job
to a printer. That print job then becomes bulk traffic. Pretty neat trick
IMO. ;)

From what I understand the crackly audio on FXS and problematic pickup/hangup

[Asterisk-Users] Detect line is busy with Zap?

2004-12-16 Thread Ian Chilton
Hi,

I have an FXO card connected to my phone line which works in Asterisk as
Zap/1.

Is there any way of detecting whether something else is on the line
before picking up on this channel?

For example, I dont want to pick up and dial out on the line if someone
is on it using another phone (which is connected directly to the line,
rather than through Asterisk).

Also, when an incoming call comes in, i've got this:

[incoming_pstn]
  exten = s,1,NoOp(${CALLERID} calling on Zap/1)
  exten = s,2,Wait,15
  exten = s,3,Answer
  exten = s,4,Voicemail(su1)
  exten = s,5,Hangup

I really want to wrap the Answer, Voicemail and Hangup commands in some
kind of if statement so if Asterisk didn't detect that the call had been
answered for any reason, it wouldn't answer the call if the line was
busy - otherwise it would click in and play the voicemail greeting over
the call which someone is conducting from a non-asterisk phone on the
line.


My zapata.conf looks like this:

[channels]
  context=incoming_pstn
  signalling=fxs_ks
  usecallerid=yes
  echocancel=yes
  echocancelwhenbridged=yes
  echotraining=yes
  rxgain=1.0
  txgain=0.0
  channel = 1


Thanks!

I think it is done to keep the number of 1 and 0 on the line roughly

Thank you,
My boss believes that people are more happy when soft music playing in the
background. The volume has to be low or even of when the phone rings. If
this is coupled to the *, then the volume can automatically switch of or
switch low. Therefore the volume can be set as high as the user wants
because when the phone rings it switches of. With the existing very
rudimentary PA system the volume has to be low all the time because of not
being coupled.
Thanks for your response, now I have a better understanding.

I like the 2 line telephone system idea, but it will probably be much more
expensive. I was planning the Grandstream 102 phones. What phones would you
propose me to use?
Willy

The Grandstream phones are priced well.  we currently use the bt100's.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Detect line is busy with Zap?

2004-12-16 Thread Rich Adamson
Inline...

 I have an FXO card connected to my phone line which works in Asterisk as
 Zap/1.
 
 Is there any way of detecting whether something else is on the line
 before picking up on this channel?

The simple answer: No. The long answer: the chipset used for the tdm fxo
modules does have the capability to sense that (along with other things),
however the driver code does not attempt to make use of such data.

 For example, I dont want to pick up and dial out on the line if someone
 is on it using another phone (which is connected directly to the line,
 rather than through Asterisk).
 
 Also, when an incoming call comes in, i've got this:
 
 [incoming_pstn]
   exten = s,1,NoOp(${CALLERID} calling on Zap/1)
   exten = s,2,Wait,15
   exten = s,3,Answer
   exten = s,4,Voicemail(su1)
   exten = s,5,Hangup
 
 I really want to wrap the Answer, Voicemail and Hangup commands in some
 kind of if statement so if Asterisk didn't detect that the call had been
 answered for any reason, it wouldn't answer the call if the line was
 busy - otherwise it would click in and play the voicemail greeting over
 the call which someone is conducting from a non-asterisk phone on the
 line.

I'm not sure I understand all the double-negatives in that statement,
but try a couple answers to see if it fits with what you're trying
do do.

I have one incoming pstn line that has both * and analog house phones
connected to the same pstn line. I use:
[inbound-home]
exten = s,1,Dial(${PHONE3}${PHONE4},20)
exten = s,103,Hangup

where the 20 second timeout is longer then our old answering machine
uses (that my spouse loves). If she picks up the analog phone (non-*),
* detects the fact that ringing disappeared and ignores the call.
If no one answers, * still ignores the call after 20 seconds. If
you want * to answer after the 20 seconds (assuming no one picked
up the call from any source), then something like add:
[inbound-home]
exten = s,1,Dial(${PHONE3}${PHONE4},20)
exten = s,2,Voicemail(u3000)  
exten = s,102,Voicemail(b3000) 
exten = s,103,Hangup

If one of those suggestions does not fit your requirements, then 
you'll likely have to insert * in the middle of all calls. E.g, receive
the call on a fxo port, and route that call to a fxs port, leaving
asterisk in the middle with whatever logic you want to apply. That
would require something like the tdm card with both fxo and fxs
modules, or, spa-3000 (for substantially less money for one line).

Re: [Asterisk-Users] codec order in SIP doesn't work

2004-12-16 Thread Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk
Seems this is only partially. This is from latest CVS -r v1-0
If specifying a peer/friend in sip.conf without any codec prefs, I get 
this

  Username : 112
  Codecs   : 0x11a (gsm|alaw|g726|g729)
  Codec Order  : (g726|g729|gsm|alaw)
but if not specifying it in sip.conf, and rather using sipfriends from 
mysql

  Username : 112
  Codecs   : 0x11a (gsm|alaw|g726|g729)
  Codec Order  : (none)
so there's something missing here, it seems
More testing follows:
http://pastebin.ca/raw/3036 shows a SIP DEBUG when a client (supporting 
G.726, alaw and ulaw) connects to server supporting the following (from 
sip.conf)

disallow=all
allow=gsm,g726,g729,alaw
for connections from some x-pro phones, running GSM codec, SIP SHOW 
PEERS shows correct codec. however, for those like the SIP DEBUG pasted 
above, the SIP SHOW PEERS shows ALAW.

Please, someone, help me out here.

[Asterisk-Users] Queueueueuueue position

2004-12-16 Thread E. Versaevel
Hello,

I've got the following queue.conf:

[testQ]
music=jr_80 ;Bore the
caller with some 80's music
announce=queue-testQ;Announcement to
play to the Agent answering
strategy=ringall;Let all
hell break lose
timeout=60  ;We should
answer within 60s
retry=5 ;
announce-frequenty=15   ;Tell them where the

announce-holdtime=yes   ; Give them an
estimated hold time
queue-youarenext = queue-youarenext ;   (You are now first
in line.)
queue-thereare  = queue-thereare;   (There are)
queue-callswaiting = queue-callswaiting ;   (calls waiting.)
queue-holdtime = queue-holdtime ;   (The current est.
holdtime is)
queue-minutes = queue-minutes   ;   (minutes.)
queue-seconds = queue-seconds   ;   (seconds.)
queue-thankyou = queue-thankyou ;   (Thank you for your
patience.)
queue-lessthan = queue-less-than;   (less than)
join-empty=yes
leavewhenempty=no

When I call in (with an agent logged in) I get to hear the MOH on the client
side, hover no matter how high the hold time is, I NEVER get an announcement
over my queue position or my estimated wait time?
Both the incoming call and the agent are on SIP channels.

What is wrong ?

2. Do you have a radius.conf in your /etc/asterisk directory?
3. What are you expecting from RADIUS? My guess is that you want CDRs.

other end a diff type of trunk ie:

7960sip -- asterisk -- SER -- SIP proxy

I have two UIP200s at home and they work great for me...they do have superior sound qualit like they other user siad. Make sure you ask their tech support for the latest "test" release firmware which was 4.62h when I got it a few weeks ago.Default firmware loaded on the phone has several compatibilityissues with *.The new firmwaresupports phone book, call log, STUN (which you can use for NAT traversal) and fix all known * problems.

There seemed to be only one person supporting this product at Uniden, he was very nice but after 4 or 5 calls I just gave up. The phone now collects dust on one of the desk in the office.

Also, I was told several times that the phone will not work at all behind a NAT. I tried it at the office where there is no NAT in between the phone and the * box but still could not get it to ring.

We are in the final stage of a rollout of Asterisk in our company. We had some Polycom IP 600 , a Snom 220 , a Grandstream 102 and recently a Sayson 480i phone. I am interested in anyones opinions in the phone they suggest to implement. I must admit I am a little partial to the Sayson 480i , but if there are convincing arguments with regards to other models I would like to hear them.

If anyone has had more experience with the Sayson please let me know. There is a company in Vancouver that deals in them , call NetVoice. As a newbie in the market , they ( George) gave great service and advice. Even called me to see how the Snom 220 was working out ( Great customer service!!).

Anyways , your feedback is appreciated.

Take a close look at parameters documented in
 /usr/src/asterisk/configs/sip.conf.sample

and you'll see something like:

;qualify=1000   ; Consider it down if it's 1 second to reply

That statement essentially tries to contact a sip phone every second.
If it can't each the phone, you will see unreachable messages on the CLI
and in the 'sip show peers'.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Advanced Ring All Hunt Group


Hello Everyone,
 
I need to setup a dialplan where if a incoming call is rec'd to a number,
Asterisk needs to dial several SIP extensions at the same time.  The SIP
extensions are for Cisco 7960s and each have multiple line appearnces.  
 
For example,
exten = 9043442342,1,DIAL(SIP/102SIP/103SIP/104SIP/105,,20)
exten = 9043442342,1,Voicemail(u102)
 
The issue I have is that I need each user of these extensions to have
multiple line appearances (roll over lines).  In a traditional PBX,
usually this is accomplished by setting up a roll over lines...
 
i.e  my extension is 100, my roll over extension is 200, and next roll over
extension is 300.  So if i am on my first line, the next call will roll over
to 200.  
I have this setup and it works great for calling a single phone by setting
incomingcalllimit=1 and I can do something like:
 
exten 100,1,DIAL(SIP/100,,20)
exten 100,102,DIAL(SIP/200,,20)
exten 100,203,DIAL(SIP300,,20)
 
Does anyone have this setup?  Or is it possible for a multiple phones to
register to the same extension (i.e. office mail number)?
 
Thanks.

maybe because the sound cards are also being used for karaoke.

   ANybody know how to do an alsa.conf or set a mixer to fix this?

Turn down the controller for the mic completely. It only controls how
much from the mic's signal goes through the analog mixer directly to
the speaker or line output, but has usually nothing to do with
capturing.

Then make sure that you have selected the mic as the input for
capturing, and use the input gain controller to adjust the recording
level. Depending on the sound card the mixer might have additional
controls like a switch for a 2nd microphone or a mic boost switch that
might need to be adjusted to get capturing from the mic working
properly.

[Asterisk-Users] Calculating required bandwidth

2004-12-16 Thread Ed Greenberg
I was posed this question:
A T1 set up for voice carries 24 conversations on a circuit that is 1.544 
megabits/second. Right?

Well, if you set that T1 up to carry data and run a link between two IP 
networks over it, how many SIP conversations could it be expected to carry? 
How about IAX?

How would one extend this calculation to varying bandwidth circuits and 
various VOIP protocols (MGCP, SCCP and H323 come to mind)?

Rather than asking for a full education here, can somebody point me at a 
suitable practical reference? Of course, if somebody wants to actually post 
the answer that'd be fine too :)

sure, mainly you can use gsm boxes with pstn to gsm interfaces.
for example: for 1 gsm chan, you can use a box with an fxs interface
on it, and can be connected to * via a single x100p (one fxo interface)
Or for multi channels, you can go with a bri-gsm box, and interface
it to * via a bri card (junghanns.net drivers)

or even pri, with 16 or more channels (connected to the *
with a pri card, ie te110p)

or even sip... no card on the * box, but connected

www.2n.cz has some of these products, but there're tons of

prices? dunno exactly, the only that I'm aware of is that
a bri - gsm (2 gsm chans) is something like 800 ¤

I should hopefully get the ability for
phone users to dial an extension and participate in video conferences,

use the multiple high quality mics that the Polycom has, and avoid purchasing
a separate conference phone).

I don't think the 7960 has a console port on it, just ports for

 The quick tyrannical answer,

And wrong -- I am taking the time to correct it not so much to slam you but 
more for list posterity -- just because the codec rate is 64kbps doesn't mean 
that's what's actually on the wire, even if you ignore signalling.

 Each T1 channels is 64Kbps, 1,544,000 / 24 = 64,333

each T1 has 24 channels of 8 bit data plus one frame bit.
24*8+1 = 193 bits per T1 frame.  Frames are sent 8000 per second.  8000*193 = 
1544000 bits per second.  There's your T1 raw rate.

You can't use that frame bit for yourself so 24*8*8000 = 1536000 bits per 
second.  That's your T1 data rate; that's what you can actually use.

Now.  Running IP on a T1 you have certain overheads.  UDP frame overhead is 4 
bytes, plus your TCP overhead of 12 bytes, for a total of 16 bytes (128 
bits).  G.711 is 64kbps data rate, but Asterisk sends only 20ms per packet in 
an attempt to balance data throughput and effect of lost packets.

so 64kbps / 50 is 1280 bits of audio per packet, plus 128 bits of overhead for 
1408 bits per packet.  50 of these per second of audio gives you 70400bps for 
one second of G.711 VOIP audio.

so now take your T1 data rate of 1536000bps and divide your audio rate into it 
for an answer of 21 channels of G.711 VOIP audio.

Now that was straight UDP audio -- there was no signalling overhead and it 
wasn't SIP RTP.

RTP has 12 octets all its own, and still need 12 bytes of IP overhead, so it 
is actually costlier: I'll spare you all the calculations but it's 20 
channels of SIP G.711 audio per T1, likely with enough room for 
signalling.  :-)

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Has anyone connected to 7960 with console cablefor setup?

2004-12-16 Thread Paul Brock
Randy,

Is it a new unit? The only reason I ask is that hitting the settings button
should let you straight in.

There is an Rs232 port on the bottom - however not oversure what it's used
for on the 7960's.

The reason I as wether it's new or not is that it might need firmware
resetting as per the cisco information (not immediately to hand).

If you can see the menu's and just chance change the setting, I think it's
something like *# or **# to allow change.

Sorry if that's suck egg territory - just trying to cover anything obvious
which is easily missed!!

What you are looking for is something like the Ateus GSM to PSTN or ISDN

Cheaper would be some gsm to pstn adapter, that you can connect to the

Another alternative would be chan_bluetooth,

 A t1 for voice typically carries 23 b channels and 1 d channel, so 23

Voice channelized T1 (also known as CAS T1 in Canada) is 24 channels.

PRI is (simplified explanation) out of band signalling on a DS1, but uses 1 
channel for signalling (it's out of band now, so it has to go somewhere) so 
you get 23 channels of voice and 1 for the signalling.

Data T1 carrying VOIP traffic will be able to handle about 21 channels of 
G.711 RTP audio due to RTP and IP overhead, and does not include SIP/H.323 
signalling, although the signalling overhead should be able to fit in the 
remainder of the T1.

 Uncompressed the answer is probably closer to 15 to 18 RTP streams
 across a dedicate T1 IP link.

That few?  I would be surprised if the signalling overhead is that enormous.  
With 21 channels of RTP G.711 audio I have 64kbps of bandwidth available, at 
least according to my calculations.

Dear Members,
I am searching for a new PBX for the company. My choice is Astrisk. My Boss

As I said he needs background music on every telephone this is not to be
mistaken with music on hold. 
 

How about modifying the chan_agent stuff?  Right now, if an agent logs 
into a queue, he hears music until a call comes into him.  So you have 
the option of making a queue for every phone (which wouldn't be all that 
great) or creating a new application that copies some of the agentlogin 
functionality, perhaps hanging up when a new call comes in?

The bit stream is an MP3 file of 8 Kbs. At the server it might be at the
maximum 570Kbs if it has to send it individually to each telephone. 
The network: 10/100 layer-3 switches with QoS on a 1000Mbs backbone.

But the music isn't sent as an MP3 to the phone, it's sent using 
whatever codec you're using.

A t1 for voice typically carries 23 b channels and 1 d channel, so 23

If you use compression on the VoIP traffic you gain capacity, but loose
CPU performance as the RTP data stream has to be transcoded by *.

If compression is used, and the box has the CPU power, significantly
more than 23 is the answer, probably limited more by then number that
your * can setup, transcode, and tear down. The exact answer depends on
your use and can only be determined through testing.

Uncompressed the answer is probably closer to 15 to 18 RTP streams

 A T1 set up for voice carries 24 conversations on a circuit 
 that is 1.544 megabits/second. Right?
 
 Well, if you set that T1 up to carry data and run a link 
 between two IP networks over it, how many SIP conversations

 How about IAX?
 
 How would one extend this calculation to varying bandwidth

You have to enable the console with the phone programming.  2 things unlock
the settings by pressing **# settings then you can go into network setup and
keep scrolling down until you see alternate tftp yes/no.  Make sure that it
says yes.  Save and reboot phone then you should be able to set the tftp
server by pressing **# settings then scroll down to the TFTP server and
enter in the correct ip address, save and reboot. If this is a newer SIP

 The Console Access Manual, give the
following cable information:

 Console Cable Requirements
 You use a serial cable with a connector to
connect a PC and a
 phone. The cable uses an RJ-11 connector
for the phone and an
 RJ-45 connector to an
 RJ-45-to-DB9 converter for the PC. Table
D-1 shows the pinout
 requirements for the console cable.

 Table D-1 Console Cable Pinouts

 Pin 3 ==  Pin 4
 Pin 4 ==  Pin 3

RE: [Asterisk-Users] My Boss wants background music!!!!

2004-12-16 Thread Jay Milk
Interesting requirement.  Depending on your site, you may consider
alternative solutions.  If you have individual offices, I suppose the
PBX route would be the best way to go; however, if you have a shared
space (cube-farm, call-room, whatever), maybe you can share the music
source?  In that case, I'd look into slimp3s with a slimserver, and an
inexpensive shelf-system as the amplifier.  www.slimdevices.com would
have some more pointers.  If you have dropped ceilings (as must
businesses do), you could even run ceiling speakers and hook them up to
a slimp3 or other music source via an inexpensive car-amplifier.  Oh
yeah, multiple slimp3s can be synchronized.

 Subject: [Asterisk-Users] My Boss wants background music
 
 
 Dear Members,
 
 I am searching for a new PBX for the company. My choice is 
 Astrisk. My Boss wants background music via all the 
 telephones. This is done in a conventional PBX that he wants, 
 but I can use the Asterisk PBX if it can do this also. 
 As I said he needs background music on every telephone this 
 is not to be mistaken with music on hold. 
 The bit stream is an MP3 file of 8 Kbs. At the server it 
 might be at the maximum 570Kbs if it has to send it 
 individually to each telephone. 
 The network: 10/100 layer-3 switches with QoS on a 1000Mbs backbone.
 
 Please, is there a way to get this done, otherwise I have to 
 say goodbye to Asterisk (unless my boss gives in).
 
 Thank you all
 
 Willy

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Calculating required bandwidth

2004-12-16 Thread Race Vanderdecken
Thank you Peasants,

In general the original question was answered. I am software guy, if the
network slobs can't fit all the data in the pipe that is not my problem.

The basic idea in the answer was that you can get more calls by using
compression; much like the automobile manufacture's gas mileage may
vary.

Also remember that a telephone conversation is 2/3's silence. ( I speak,
silence, then you speak. See the book at bought on Amazon 4 years ago
but can't remember the name of the book.)IP only sends the data when
there is noise versus the T1 which is a constant TDM stream. So I
predict in testing with good VoIP equipment you can get more then 24
G.711 calls per T1. So take that and comment. You should be able to get
more VoIP calls, my prediction is 40 G.711 well behaved calls with
silence suppression per T1. Why else would the Baby Bells move to VoIP?

But it is nice to know there are some intelligent folks monitoring the
list, thank you.

Race

 The quick tyrannical answer,

And wrong -- I am taking the time to correct it not so much to slam you
but 
more for list posterity -- just because the codec rate is 64kbps doesn't
mean 
that's what's actually on the wire, even if you ignore signalling.

 Each T1 channels is 64Kbps, 1,544,000 / 24 = 64,333

each T1 has 24 channels of 8 bit data plus one frame bit.
24*8+1 = 193 bits per T1 frame.  Frames are sent 8000 per second.
8000*193 = 
1544000 bits per second.  There's your T1 raw rate.

You can't use that frame bit for yourself so 24*8*8000 = 1536000 bits
per 
second.  That's your T1 data rate; that's what you can actually use.

Now.  Running IP on a T1 you have certain overheads.  UDP frame overhead
is 4 
bytes, plus your TCP overhead of 12 bytes, for a total of 16 bytes (128 
bits).  G.711 is 64kbps data rate, but Asterisk sends only 20ms per
packet in 
an attempt to balance data throughput and effect of lost packets.

so 64kbps / 50 is 1280 bits of audio per packet, plus 128 bits of
overhead for 
1408 bits per packet.  50 of these per second of audio gives you
70400bps for 
one second of G.711 VOIP audio.

so now take your T1 data rate of 1536000bps and divide your audio rate
into it 
for an answer of 21 channels of G.711 VOIP audio.

Now that was straight UDP audio -- there was no signalling overhead and
it 
wasn't SIP RTP.

RTP has 12 octets all its own, and still need 12 bytes of IP overhead,
so it 
is actually costlier: I'll spare you all the calculations but it's 20 
channels of SIP G.711 audio per T1, likely with enough room for 
signalling.  :-)

Andrew the tyrant's tyrant Kohlsmith

Re: [Asterisk-Users] VoIP Termination

 You've gotta be kidding, VOIP providers are trying to regulate who you can
 call?  Go with Nufone or iax.cc or even voicepulse connect -- use IAX2 over
 SIP, IMO it's just better.

Thanx, I will look into these providers.

This is an exerpt from Packet8's Terms of Use statement.  I've edited it for 
space, but I've tried to retain the context:
--
PERSONAL USE. 8x8's Service Plans for residential subscribers that offer 
unlimited minutes of PSTN calls (Unlimited PSTN Plans) are for the 
reasonable personal residential use of End User only. End Users of Unlimited 
PSTN Plans shall not use the Services for commercial or governmental purposes 
or for profit or non-profit activities, including, but not limited to, home 
office, business, sales, tele-commuting, autodialing, continuous or extensive 
call forwarding, continuous connectivity, fax broadcast, fax blasting, 
telemarketing or any other activity that would be inconsistent with personal 
and residential usage. 8x8 reserves the right to immediately terminate or 
modify the Services of any End User using Unlimited PSTN Plans if 8x8 
determines, in its sole discretion, that End User is not using the Unlimited 
PSTN Plans for End User's reasonable personal residential use.
--

Now I agree with their policy on fax-blasting, etc.  But according to them, I 
can't use my own phone for charity work?  I work at a national lab; would my 
wife be alowed to call me at work?  Or would the be a governmental purpose?

It gets better... If Packet8 decides, in THEIR SOLE DISCRETION, that I'm 
conducting a business with my phone, they can terminate my service, or 
increase the price of it.

I'm trying to make an issue out of this because I think it needs to change and 
I'm hoping people who are affiliated with these providers are reading this.  
I was going to go with Packet8.  I was going through the final checklist 
before subscribing when I came accross this fascist policy.

Sure, I can go with a business plan, but that would cost me $39.95.  That's $5 
more than I'm spending for an analog phone line!  Part of the reason for me 
to go with VoIP is to become Quest Free.  But suddenly, Quest is starting 
to resemble the Boy Scouts when compared to the types of usage policies I'm 
seeing from some of the VoIP providers.

Sorry for the rant, but I hope you understand.

  We are running the last version I posted to Mantis, coupled with

  working fine.
 
  However, the patch I posted was not made against the 1.0 branch, so it's

  using it with 1.0.3, though.
 
 
 Kevin,

[Asterisk-Users] Dynamically Choose Codec for Bandwidth Management

2004-12-16 Thread rsenykoff

Is there any way to set Asterisk to
choose what codec to allow for a new call based on current usage? In other
words... be able to define a max number of ulaw calls, then after that
only allowing g729? The idea here is that in general, a T-1 should be enough
for our offices to have phone + citrix + some video (got good QoS in place
already). But for usage spikes, user experience would be kept good if we
could shift it into using g729.
