  setup because can't receive calls
  
  
  Hi all,
  I readmany posts on asterisk mail site and been trying many 
  different thingsbut still I can't get my sip phones to work with 
  asterisk. I have a full blown-up voip netwok with two asterisk 
  servers connected to pstn networkwith iax phones and cisco sccp 
  phones which all work fine. however, I have been struggeling to configure 
  my sip phones (polycom 601, Aastra 480i and cisco 9760) to work with asterisk. 
  I can call out from sip phones to anywhere else but not receive phone calls. I 
  can see the phones on "sip show registry" and "sip show peers" but no track 
  phone calls for sip.  can you please shed some light 
  on me how to go about solving this problem?  
  thank you and best regards, Ama

2006-01-26 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,

Use an application like the Nero etc to write .iso to a blank CD. Then you can use it on your spare computer to boot. 

Remember you are going to lose all data on the reboot of the PC.

Keep kicking

[Asterisk-Users] Missing meetme recordings.

2006-01-26 Thread Jan du Toit

Hi.

I am recording conferences taking place via the meetme application by 
using the 'r' option.


When I start the conference I get the message in the CLI : Starting 
recording of MeetMe Conference 8000 into file 
meetme-conf-rec-8000-1138265171.201.wav.
No additional warnings or errors is displayed in the CLI during and 
after the conference.

This tells me everything is fine.

But I can't seem to find the recording.
I have looked under /var/spool/asterisk/meetme but it is not there. Were 
is the recording stored?

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Damon Estep a écrit :

Can anyone point me to a reference or sample config for bypassing a 
nailed up (point to point) t1 between two PBXs with asterisk and a 
pair of t1 cards?


 

Right now I have 2 Nortel norstars connected to each other via a

You probably need a couple of T1 cards, and some paid consulting to get 
it working (I've never done it myself but that's how I would do it if I

My goal is to run an asterisk box at each end with a t1 card and 
Ethernet card to act as a TDMSIP gateway to bypass the nailed T1 in 
a relatively dumb configuration, with the goal of migrating off of the 
norstars eventually.


If it's a point to point Asterisk - Asterisk configuration, why use 
SIP rather than IAX? IAX configuration is very easy, so once you get the 
norstar - asterisk link up it'll be a piece of cake.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] * point to point t1 solution?

2006-01-26 Thread Adrian Carter




Damon,
 I am not intimately familiar with what you are specifically trying
to achieve, *BUT*, if the two Norstars are essentially just
'interconnected' via teh T1 to provide either an EM Wink "type"
connection/private TDM bus between the two boxes so that extensions are
'bridged' between the two PABX's.. then *YES*.. Asterisk can do that.

 I have a setup at present of an Asterisk box that has 1 E1 PRI
coming in from a telco, and 1 E1 PRI going TO an Ericsson BP250 system.
The Asterisk box transparently passes incoming calls destined for the
BP250 to the BP250, and all the BP250 users can 'direct-dial' so to
speak Asterisk extensions and vice-versa.

 Since your original question is a tad ambigious to someone not
entirely intimate with your setup, I could have missed the point
entirely, as there is quite a few 'ways' to tie PABX's together and the
reasoning can be very different (Could be for 'switched' extensions,
could be for LCR setup, could be for VoiceMail integration, could be
cause thats what the original installer just did...)

 Hope that helps you a little. I'd suggest looking at "Connecting
Asterisk to Legacy PABX's" and then extrapolate that information to
suit your needs.

Regards

Adrian

[Asterisk-Users] TDM400 pinout

2006-01-26 Thread bails
Hi I'm looking for a pinout for the above.  Note this has what i'd call 
RJ45 sockets (or someone smart can correct me).  I need to plug into BT 
(rj13?).


And, yes I've googled (glad I'm not chinese) and have tried the 
suggested, just plug in a 6 connector rj11 and i didnt work atall.


On a side note, I cannot beleive that Digium dont have this information 
on there site, it seems somewhat lacking as the only info i can find on 
there site about this board is a pretty PDF.


Also, I 'm still having problems with another one of these boards not 
dropping the line ([EMAIL PROTECTED] 1.5, plesae dont say post the [EMAIL PROTECTED] forum). 
Any Ideas?


thanks in advance

It is possible to use your own IAX/SIP device, however we do not support 
it. We advise you to use SIP-Discount instead.


Do you have the same problem when you use their softphone? If not, why

Hi, all

I am reallty pissed with their service. I wonder if this is common 
problem.
Firstly, all of my calls are terminated after 30s. And termination 
happens
in a strange way. My local asterisk server does not see the 
disconnection,
but remote party is disconnected. Basically, I am still on the phone, 
while

remote party was disconnected. When I hang up, I get something like that:

Apr 20 02:32:43 WARNING[4853]: chan_sip.c:8520 handle_response: Got
authentication request (401) on unknown BYE to
'sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];tag=c9ebef50c90078c2c93eddc243d7352d6e04'

Secondly, they charged me for calls to UK that was supposed to be free.
And their customer service does not respond at all. Do they have a phone
number I can call?

Thanks,
Rudolf

Hi all,
Ihave an IAX connection between two asterisk 
servers and i'm looking for a way to cut down on the needed bandwidth. Both 
voice and fax calls pass through the channel so it is currently configured to 
use g.711.Could it be possible to select the codec based on the call's 
prefix so that g.711 will be used for fax calls and g.729 for 
voice?

Yes, I think Asterisk can do what you are trying to achieve. No, I don't 
know how to do it, and no I won't do it for you since I've never been in 
the situation you're in.


As for web based hints, with some experience I've found that google is 
as good as asking the mailing list. If you have no success with the 
mailing list, the wiki (voip-info.org) and google, you can try the irc 
channel #asterisk on freenode.


If that still doesn't work, shelling out a few hundred bucks for a 
consultant to help you do it - and train you in the process - is the 
other alternative, and is often a good deal.


I've done it a couple of times myself, and it's awesome how far people 
can get you and how hard they try when you recognize the value of their 
work with some money (as opposed to just asking nicely).


Cheers,

The cisco x8xx series are excellent. I have a

It's capable of 3DES and comes in a nice package

RE: [Asterisk-Users] * point to point t1 solution?

2006-01-26 Thread Damon Estep
Jean-Michel,

I agree with all of your comments, and would be willing to bet $100 that NO 
AMOUNT OF GOOGLING will answer this question definitively.

After reviewing Adrian Carters very informative response regarding TDMoE I am 
getting closer to what I need to know (now my googles include asterisk AND 
TDMoE).

This is CLEARLY uncharted territory, while I'll bet it has been done before, no 
one took the time to document it.

My return to the list if I am successful will be to document the config on the 
wiki... fair exchange?

And, if along the way I find an EXPERT in this area with REAL WORLD PRODUCTION 
EXPERIENCE I will gladly pay the fees, but I am not about to shell out anything 
to pay some know-it-all to educate themselves and provide me a half baked 
solution that has never been put to the real world test.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Best FXO hardware for home use

2006-01-26 Thread Facundo Ameal
I'm using an X100P Clone at home and i had not much trouble, remember
I'm just testing and learning a bit at home. I think if you hace to
implement it at office you'll have to spend a bit more.

2006/1/25, Joseph Tanner [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 Personally, I've had great success with an X101P (it's a clone, but
 it's the exact same chipset and layout of the original).  Now, with
 Asterisk 1.2 beta2 (I believe it was beta2, I could be wrong though)
 and a P3 933MHz PC I did get annoying echo that I couldn't get rid of,
 and only on outgoing calls.  If someone called me, even though all the
 same equipment is being used, there was no echo.  Anyways, I upgraded
 to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.2 with Asterisk 1.2.1 and at the same time upgraded
 to a Celeron 2.93GHz PC, and there's virtually no echo.  Only if
 there's complete silence on the other end and you yell very loud, can
 you barely make any hint of an echo out.  No idea if it was the
 Asterisk upgrade, the new PC, or both that fixed my problem.

 Also, somewhere around the pre-1.0 days, I had two of these clones
 (one was the exact same layout as the actual X101P, the other had a
 different layout but the same chipset) and the one I used with my
 Packet8 line had no echo, but my landline did.  Didn't matter if I
 switched the lines, the one connected to the Packet8 device had zero
 echo, the one connected to my landline had a noticeable echo (again,
 only on outgoing calls, incoming was fine).  Played with
 rxgain/txgain, all the echo settings, etc.  But now all is fine.

 Guess what I'm trying to say, is a lot depends on the line itself, and
 your exact setup.  If you can pick up an X101P clone for cheap, I'd
 try that first.  Most you're out is a few bucks (I say a few bucks,
 cause even if you pay $20 and decide it won't work for you, you can
 sell it for about what you paid).  If you build or repair PCs a lot
 for others, then you'll need a good cheap modem someday anyways, the
 clone cards work fine for that.

 Works fine for me, only issue I have now is callerid isn't 100%
 reliable, but works the majority of the time.  Until I troubleshoot it
 further (i.e., connect a regular phone directly to my landline to at
 least verify it's getting callerid when asterisk isn't), I can't blame
 the card for that.  As long as the card will work with your setup
 (odds are it will), I think it's the best solution for home or small
 business use.

echo cancellation is pretty limited on these cheap devices.

   I have been using one for 6 months without any problems. Make sure you

  Kerry,
 
  There is an issue with the spa3k (as well as the TDM04b) in terms
  of handling echo properly on long pstn loops. You are obviously on
  a relatively short loop if you've not been exposed to the variable
  echo cancellation issues.
 
  In other words, long pstn loops basically fall outside the limits of
  the echo cancellation software as someone else already noted.

 It is not. The bug was introduced during the 1.2.1-1.2.2 transition.

Observation ...

Had a problem with asterisk 1.2 trunk from approx 10 Dec, (from memory),
when the problem occurred, a restart of asterisk did not fix it, and a
reboot of the machine still did not fix it. A svn update and restart of
asterisk still did not fix it.

I wonder, was it really only 2^22 seconds, or how exactly did that
work?? I really was quite stumped when it happened, since nobody had
changed anything for ages...

Anyway, thankfully it broke at 4:30pm, and everyone went home at 5pm
(the after hours announce only and hangup was working), so I left it
until the next day. A few debug attempts, and a login to IRC, and
suddenly the solution was shouting at me (in the subject/title of the
IRC channel to svn update).

Mainly was confused as to why a asterisk + zaptel restart and a reboot
didn't fix the problem (even just temporarily)?

Adam

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Looking for Q.Sig success story

2006-01-26 Thread Mimmus
 Hi Mimmus, and thanks for the quick reply.
You are welcome.

 It is actually very good to hear that most of it works. The 
 difference in my project is that we'll keep the PSTN link on 
 the Alcatel, and use the asterisk only as a inter-site 
 trunking solution. The reason is that I have no Alcatel 
 knowledge (will rely on other people), and I want to be as 
 un-intrusive as possible. If you don't mind, I would have 
 some additional questions:
I have no knowledge of Alcatel too!
I think that putting Asterisk in front of Alcatel is the best way to offer *
advanced features (voicemail, audioconference, fax, ...) to all users.

 1) Can you confirm that Q.Sig is the only option for me ?
No idea!

 2) What hardware are you using on the Asterisk (Digium ?)
Tried both Digium TE410P and Sangoma A102. Better results with latest one.

 Once my pilot starts I may come back to you for some examples 
 and advice, but this probably won't happen before a month or so.
No problem.

Bye

Hello,
 
The 5 exchange lines I assume they are analogic. For them you will need 5
FXO ports. You can buy a TDM04B and a TDM01B (this will get you to the 5
FXO). Make sure you have 2 PCI slots available.
 
Now for the extensions you need 
- IP Phones 
or
- ATAs (if you want to reuse your analog phones)
 
IP Phones you can buy from different companies. I like Aastra, Polycom...
 
For ATAs I like Linksys PAP2.

 There is a patch available against /trunk, not 1.2.3. As I said in an

[Asterisk-Users] 0h323 - one way audio

I am using 0h323 on Asterisk CVS HEAD 19/07/2005.  I am dialling a h323 
gatekeeper.  He can hear me, but I cannot hear him.


I have a suspicion that it could be the rtp traffic, since he said that 
they need rtp traffic from ports 4500 - 65000.   So in 0h323.conf i set 
updstart and udpend, and in rtp.conf i set the ports here.


a tcpdump confirms there is two way traffic.
unfortunately, a 0h323 debug does not show much:

 I tried through voipdiscount as well.
 Even my older account through voipbuster started to behave this way and it 
 used to be ok on IAX.
 
 I would expect at least some reply.

 Didn't you read this from their QA?
 
 I want to configure my own IAX/SIP device for calling with VoipBuster, is 
 that possible?
 It is possible to use your own IAX/SIP device, however we do not support it. 
 We advise you to use SIP-Discount instead.
 
 Do you have the same problem when you use their softphone? If not, why 
 complaining.
 
 The call to the UK is free only for VoIPstunt

 Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Voipbuster/voipstunt -- what a crap service
 
 
  Hi, all
 
  I am reallty pissed with their service. I wonder if this is common 
  problem.
  Firstly, all of my calls are terminated after 30s. And termination happens
  in a strange way. My local asterisk server does not see the disconnection,
  but remote party is disconnected. Basically, I am still on the phone, 
  while
  remote party was disconnected. When I hang up, I get something like that:
 
  Apr 20 02:32:43 WARNING[4853]: chan_sip.c:8520 handle_response: Got
  authentication request (401) on unknown BYE to
  'sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];tag=c9ebef50c90078c2c93eddc243d7352d6e04'
 
  Secondly, they charged me for calls to UK that was supposed to be free.
  And their customer service does not respond at all. Do they have a phone
  number I can call?
 
  Thanks,
  Rudolf

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Bootable CD?

2006-01-26 Thread Dovid Bender
When you open your burning software there should be an
option to burn from an image. When it asks you for the
location tof the image point it to the .iso file that
you downloaded. After it is done burning the CD you
have a ready to go bootable CD. BE CAREFULL. Once you
put the CD into a machine it will format the machine
and delete everything on it and install CentOS with
asterisk.

Dovid

RE: [Asterisk-Users] TDM400 pinout

2006-01-26 Thread Chris Bagnall
 Hi I'm looking for a pinout for the above.  Note this has 
 what i'd call
 RJ45 sockets (or someone smart can correct me).  I need to 
 plug into BT (rj13?).

Are you sure the TDM400 has RJ45 sockets? The pair I've got here have RJ12
sockets.

I assume with the mention of BT, you're in the UK. The line is on pins 2+5
of the BT connector, which'd usually translate to the 2 inner pins of an
RJ11 connector (pins 2+3). You should find an old modem cable will do the
job fine.

If your TDM400 really does have RJ45 sockets, then you'd expect the line to
be on the middle pins (pins 4+5), similar to a modtap used in structured
cabling environments.

Regards,

Chris

Thanks, yes they are rj45, we have had rj12 in he past I look at the above.

Like I said though, pity Digium dont supply the information on there

Re: [Asterisk-Users] using sangoma cards as a timesource?

2006-01-26 Thread Matt Florell
Short answer: Yes

Long answer: They use the zaptel drivers and are recognized as a
Zaptel device. You do have to load and configure the Sangoma wanpipe
drivers first, but in the end it'll function as a timing source just
like a Digium card

Yes, I think Asterisk can do what you are trying to achieve. No, I don't
know how to do it, and no I won't do it for you since I've never been in
the situation you're in.

As for web based hints, with some experience I've found that google is
as good as asking the mailing list. If you have no success with the
mailing list, the wiki (voip-info.org) and google, you can try the irc
channel #asterisk on freenode.

If that still doesn't work, shelling out a few hundred bucks for a
consultant to help you do it - and train you in the process - is the
other alternative, and is often a good deal.

I've done it a couple of times myself, and it's awesome how far people
can get you and how hard they try when you recognize the value of their
work with some money (as opposed to just asking nicely).

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Best FXO hardware for home use

2006-01-26 Thread Rich Adamson
I didn't right those products off and in fact use both on a regular
basis. For the price, both are pretty good. However, for a higher price
there are products on the market that _do_ handle echo cancellation in
a very solid fashion (eg, Mediatrix 1204 as one example) regardless of
the analog cable lengths, etc. 

To blatantly suggest the spa3k or TDM are the _recommended_ choices
totally ignores their weaknesses. In other words, chose the product that
fits the situation, and for this list there seems to be a large number
of people that don't have a clue how analog lines are even constructed
let alone measured. There is no such thing as one product that fits all 
needs.



 There is no doubt that given a particular scenario, anything won't work
 properly. This is not necessarily a problem with the SPA3000 or the TDM
 cards, this is much more of a phone line issue. Granted, those devices don't
 handle line issues as well as some other devices (such as the long loop
 issue you mentioned) but to write them off as being poor products I felt was
 a bit overkill. I have several very successful installs with TDM cards and
 SPA3000s and on the other hand I have an install that nothing seems to want
 to work with the PSTN lines that are there. So while I do agree with you on
 what the actual issue is, I don't think it is 100% fair to write off the
 SPA3000 in all cases.

echo cancellation is pretty limited on these cheap devices. 
the spa3000 manual for example states the AEC is limited to 8ms. 
good AECs will handle 64ms or more. in my experience the spa3000 
echo canceller is cranky. it works most but not all of the time.
   
   I have been using one for 6 months without any problems. 
  Make sure you 
   have the most current firmware on it and it should work just fine.
  
  Kerry,
  
  There is an issue with the spa3k (as well as the TDM04b) in 
  terms of handling echo properly on long pstn loops. You are 
  obviously on a relatively short loop if you've not been 
  exposed to the variable echo cancellation issues.
  
  In other words, long pstn loops basically fall outside the 
  limits of the echo cancellation software as someone else 
  already noted.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] * point to point t1 solution?

2006-01-26 Thread Damon Estep
That would not be a nailed up t1 - signaling at both ends would be via asterisk.

I was trying to determine if there is a way to configure asterisk to emulate a 
ptp t1 passively (no signaling) - essentially providing the same type of end to 
end circuit you would get if you ordered a point to point esf/b8zs t1 from the 
telco.

I know how to set up asterisk to talk to the Nortel (where the Nortel thinks 
asterisk is a telco trunk) - but that is not my goal here.

I want to replace a T1 TIE TRUNK between to Nortel's using Digium t1 interfaces 
and an IP link between asterisk boxes, but still allow the Nortel to pass 
signaling directly back and forth.

Still want to take the challenge?

Yes, I think Asterisk can do what you are trying to achieve. No, I don't
know how to do it, and no I won't do it for you since I've never been in
the situation you're in.
 
As for web based hints, with some experience I've found that google is
as good as asking the mailing list. If you have no success with the
mailing list, the wiki (voip-info.org) and google, you can try the irc
channel #asterisk on freenode.
 
If that still doesn't work, shelling out a few hundred bucks for a
consultant to help you do it - and train you in the process - is the
other alternative, and is often a good deal.
 
I've done it a couple of times myself, and it's awesome how far people

RE: [Asterisk-Users] * point to point t1 solution?

2006-01-26 Thread Damon Estep
TDMoE would allow a T1 like connection only over the local Ethernet segment, 
since it is not an IP technology it can not be router across ip networks.

This would be useful to connect 2 asterisk boxes on the same Ethernet segment 
(or with a crossover cable).

The advantage would be lower latency than SIP or IAX - the disadvantage being a 
constant ~1000 packet per second Ethernet flow requires to keep the channels up.

Won't work...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Linksys SPA-941 multiple line appearences

2006-01-26 Thread Wilson Pickett
 Has anyone had any experience with the Linksys SPA-941 when it comes to
 multiple line appearences?

This is what the 841 manual says: (maybe the 941 is different?)

The SPA-841 does not support multiple calls on the same Line key. The
corresponding Line key blinks quickly in red on any incoming call. If
there is no other active calls, the SPA-841 will ring with either the
default ring of that  extension or the distinctive ring associated
with the caller. If there is another active call, however, the SPA-841
will not ring the phone, but plays the call-waiting tone to alert the
user.  The SPA-841 supports multiple call-waiting.  In fact, all 4
call appearances can ring at the same time.

Or was that not the question? :)

I find no settings (phone or web interface) on the SPA-941 about call waiting.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] * point to point t1 solution?

2006-01-26 Thread Damon Estep
Lets put the TDMoE aside for a minute...

The same trunking could be achieved with SIP or IAX, could it not (with higher 
latency)?

The rest of the question remains - is there a way to get asterisk to output, 
bit for bit, on a t1 interface, the same data that is input on a remote 
asterisk box t1 interface - using any trunking protocol.

This is what would be required to truly emulate a signaling un-aware point to 
point t1 like one that you would get from a telco if you ordered a point to 
point esf/b8zs t1 from A location to Z location.

Pure circuit emulation - not ISDN/CAS/EM signaled voice.

Does that clarify the question at all?

You might want to take a look at rad.com array of products. They sell

Re: [Asterisk-Users] * point to point t1 solution?

2006-01-26 Thread Patrick Conroy
Damon,Unless I misunderstand what you are looking for, a P2P T1 would be handled by the kernel, not by asterisk. If you want to use digium cards, you would still need zaptel, or you could use a sangoma card on each end and their wanrouter drivers. Asterisk would obviously be involved in the SIP or IAX connection to pass calls, but not with the P2P T1. This page may help:
http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Data+ConfigurationThis is based on a T1 using Cisco HDLC, but I have done the same thing with PPP.

 Thanks, yes they are rj45, we have had rj12 in he past I look at the above.

 Like I said though, pity Digium dont supply the information on there
 site or with the cards, its a bit like everything in life today.  We are
 only the customer, but  we're expected to do the running around.


 Earlier versions of the TDM400 I believe were RJ45. They were changed
to RJ11 I think I had heard at one point for compliance with some
telco standards outside the US. But, in either case, yes, the middle
pair is the active pair for your FXO/FXS ports on these cards
whether RJ11 or RJ45.

The same trunking could be achieved with SIP or IAX, could it not (with higher

The rest of the question remains - is there a way to get asterisk to output,

asterisk box t1 interface - using any trunking protocol.

This is what would be required to truly emulate a signaling un-aware point

Pure circuit emulation - not ISDN/CAS/EM signaled voice.
 

You might want to take a look at rad.com array of products. They sell
small boxes which cost around EUR3k each and which can do exactly what you
are looking after, which they call TDMoIP. Of course, this is getter
further away from Asterisk :(

RE: [Asterisk-Users] RE: IAX Provider

2006-01-26 Thread Ross C








 customer service sucks
as usual

I 100% agree. I havent been
able to complete a call ever. No response from customer service.

Whatever company can provide reliable
service, great support and a good selection of local numbers without charging
out the butt, will do very well IMO. Too many companies dont spend
enough time on customer service, which ends up driving a LOT of business away
(business that they would have had in the bag, had they responded to customers).
Its really not hard to provide good cust service over the
Internet. It doesnt take very long to reply to an email inquiry or
fix the little problems most people have.

Is it an employee thing; do these
companies just not have enough people to get everything done? Or is it
that the owners just dont really care and they think they can succeed
anyway (w/o good service)? Its really ridiculous.

The key to assuring adequate performance in replacing a TDM link with IP 
is to assure that adequate idle time is reserved for voice on the IP 
segment(s) involved in the route.  In this way, latency can be 
stabilized, and if maintained below a certain (arbitrary) threshold, 
performance can be deemed acceptable.


The first step, of course, is to assure that the virtual TDM allocation 
does not exceed the available IP bandwidth (so leave a margin, which is 
huge in the example given).  The next step is to use routers which 
respect the TOS field (however it is used; diffserv/whatever), and 
finally, to assure that no non-VoIP traffic can be injected into the 
path with higher routing priority.


On a point-to-point link, a pair of typical Linux boxes can do all 
this.  Given the original problem, I would place Asterisk boxes at 
either end of the link, and have them blend the ordinary traffic with 
the VoIP traffic (which would probably use IAX to relay calls between 
the T1s), while assuring (enforcing) that VoIP packets are marked as 
highest priority.  There are varied ways of accomplishing this, and a 
good reference which I've used in the past can be found at:


http://www.lartc.org/lartc.html

Additionally, I think one could use the tunneling  techniques described 
in that guide to encapsulate the non-VoIP traffic such that its packets'

(or even other voice!), with the added advantage that it could use the 
reserved VoIP bandwidth when it is otherwise not required (albeit in the 
case of a T-1 over 10Mb, that's insignificant).


Is this easier or harder than TDMoE as described?  Does the TDMoE shared 
idle bandwidth?  What about stability (I'm thinking of SW releases)?  
What other drawbacks or advantages are there?

Right now I have 2 Nortel norstars connected to each other via a leased

My goal is to run an asterisk box at each end with a t1 card and

In past situations I would have done this with a pair of Cisco routers

We are looking to replace our existing Legacy PBX with Asterisk. Our receptionist currently has a light display for a certain extension when someone is on a call. When she needs to transfer she simply hits that button.


Is it possible to use a snom360 + Sidecar to monitor 30 extensions and make transfers using the buttons? Does the Cisco 7960 expansion module work with asterisk?

Right - so I will assume this makes it slightly more efficient in that

a raft of considerations for limiting interference by other data streams

Thanks Matt,
 
PRI signalling means that calls and answered and dialed (aka signalled) by 
asterisk, the goal is to maintain the signalling between the two nortel boxes.
 
I have gathered that raw point to point circuit emulation is not possible on 
asterisk...
 
I am aware of how to connect a PBX to asterisk using ISDN PRI signalling.

2. improve the chances that fax and analog modem devices will still work.
3. NOT change any dialing patterns or extensons numbering.

You've clarified your requirements for me.  Please indulge me - I really
want to understand - what are the application implications of this?  In
other words, what system behavioral changes will your users experience
in the various scenarios (pure circuit emulation vs. relay via IAX or
similar)?

Lets put the TDMoE aside for a minute...

The same trunking could be achieved with SIP or IAX, could it not (with higher 
latency)?

The rest of the question remains - is there a way to get asterisk to output, 
bit for bit, on a t1 interface, the same data that is input on a remote 
asterisk box t1 interface - using any trunking protocol.

This is what would be required to truly emulate a signaling un-aware point to 
point t1 like one that you would get from a telco if you ordered a point to 
point esf/b8zs t1 from A location to Z location.

Pure circuit emulation - not ISDN/CAS/EM signaled voice.

Does that clarify the question at all?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] * point to point t1 solution? / alternatives

2006-01-26 Thread Colin Anderson
I've seen this discussion before. The conclusion was, it is possible to
route TDMoE through a VPN tunnel depending on the tunnel setup you are using
(bridge + tunnel for example) however the latency would make it useless.
TDMoE is designed for the same network. Unfortuanely I can't find a link for
it, but I remember it distinctly. 

Another, large issue, is that TDMoE uses T1 - style bandwidth constantly
whether it is in use or not. Even if it were possible to route it, and even
if the latency problem was solved, can you imagine your bandwidth surcharge
of ~1.5Mbps constant? 

At the end of the day, emulating TDM through the use of IAX and a well
written dialplan is totally the way to go.

This has been an interesting discussion for me (except for the 
sniping).  The last post led me, out of curiosity, to this wiki entry:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+TDMoE

I was unaware of this feature, and it looks pretty good.  I've been 
pondering replacing some T1's by leveraging IP capacity but of course 
have run up against the QoS issue.  My idea was different...

I don't have production experience with precisely this type of 
application, but I ask for validation from this list.  Pardon me for 
stating what is undoubtedly obvious to many...

The key to assuring adequate performance in replacing a TDM link with IP 
is to assure that adequate idle time is reserved for voice on the IP 
segment(s) involved in the route.  In this way, latency can be 
stabilized, and if maintained below a certain (arbitrary) threshold, 
performance can be deemed acceptable.

The first step, of course, is to assure that the virtual TDM allocation 
does not exceed the available IP bandwidth (so leave a margin, which is 
huge in the example given).  The next step is to use routers which 
respect the TOS field (however it is used; diffserv/whatever), and 
finally, to assure that no non-VoIP traffic can be injected into the 
path with higher routing priority.

On a point-to-point link, a pair of typical Linux boxes can do all 
this.  Given the original problem, I would place Asterisk boxes at 
either end of the link, and have them blend the ordinary traffic with 
the VoIP traffic (which would probably use IAX to relay calls between 
the T1s), while assuring (enforcing) that VoIP packets are marked as 
highest priority.  There are varied ways of accomplishing this, and a 
good reference which I've used in the past can be found at:

http://www.lartc.org/lartc.html

Additionally, I think one could use the tunneling  techniques described 
in that guide to encapsulate the non-VoIP traffic such that its packets' 
originally marked TOS values are preserved for transit outside the 
segment used for TDM emulation.  In this way, that part of the segment 
bandwidth not required for VoIP would function as a dedicated link, 
allowing other prioritization of traffic such as interactive vs. bulk 
(or even other voice!), with the added advantage that it could use the 
reserved VoIP bandwidth when it is otherwise not required (albeit in the 
case of a T-1 over 10Mb, that's insignificant).

Is this easier or harder than TDMoE as described?  Does the TDMoE shared 
idle bandwidth?  What about stability (I'm thinking of SW releases)?  
What other drawbacks or advantages are there?

2006-01-26 Thread Kaleb L. Kunzler
This is Kaleb, I have ABSOLUTELY no ties whatsoever with any VOIP service or
product, I am just an end-user.  I currently use sixTel, I love it.  I have
tried others and had very bad experiences, sellvoip.net being the absolute
worst from my experience.   I haven't ever tried any of the unlimited
services like broadvoice, I only have tried the pay-as-you-go providers that
support the IAX protocol.  sixTel has been really good to me, they are a tad
slow on email support, but of you catch the through MSN messenger
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) they usually are pretty good.  I haven't dealt with their
service department for about over a month, I have had an account with them
for 2 months and had only one problem with inbound calls, their DIDs stopped
working for a small spell due to a problem with their carrier, beyond their
control (at least that is what they told me).  When configuring their
service it was 100% required that in iax.conf the context was sixTel with
the capital T or inbound wouldn't work, can't say that I have ever noticed a
problem with outbound.  I will send a copy of my sterilized sixTel config to
anyone that would like.  

No Dan, I do not have a tie with them, I am just a happy customer.  I
especially like the fact that they email me automatically if they aren't
able to reach my server when someone calls. (has happened a time or two, was
MY fault).  They also allow you to set up a fail-back number (can be pstn or
cellular or whatever) if your server is unreachable by them.  They win my
business;  If you don't like them, that is your call. 

Kaleb 

 

 I guess Kaleb has a tie up with them.. 

 

I could never get my sixtel try call out except once. They customer service
sucks as usual

 

I regret paying to them...Their sample config are all done from my side my
my calls comes out with 'NO ANSWER

Thanks a billion.

Outbound bluetooth dialling on the lines of
Dial(BLT/DevName/8005551212) worked for me.

Still trying out the inbound route. Before I created the [bluetooth]
context, it tried to reach the [default] context but then I began by
creating a new context [bluetooth] in extensions.conf and got my
internal SIP phone to ring when I received a call on my SE T616 cell
phone. However, I could not get the inbound line answered and I will
continue to work on this over the weekend and report back my progress.

 Again, my documentation is still sparse.  I should have noted that the
 phone will recognize asterisk and connect even if the channel in

 disconnects, or what-not until it's set correctly.  So realize that
 later on when you're testing.  Also the usb dongle must have a CSR
 chipset, else it won't work (well, at least probably won't work, I'll
 provide instructions on how to tell if it should work or not later).

 Here's the relevant instructions on
 http://www.crazygreek.co.uk/content/chan_bluetooth for how to dial
 out:  Send a call out by using Dial(BLT/DevName/0123456).

 As far as dialing in, there's a special context (I think [bluetooth]
 maybe?  I'll have to get back to you on that).  I know that it should
 work fine, because I tried dialing the phone, asterisk picked it up
 then immediately disconnected because there was no context for it to
 go to (I think it tried to fall back on [default], which I didn't have
 configured to accept an incoming call).

 Good luck!

 Outbound bluetooth dialling on the lines of

 Still trying out the inbound route. Before I created the [bluetooth]

 creating a new context [bluetooth] in extensions.conf and got my
 internal SIP phone to ring when I received a call on my SE T616 cell

Hello all,

Possibly use TDMoE for multiple replacement boxes. Can anyone give me

It's TDMoIP so 2 T1 boxes tied together should work like this:

card --Asterisk

at about $7K Cdn it'd be worthwhile to rewrite a dialplan to use IAX

[Asterisk-Users] Plea to support a much needed function for Call Centers in Asterisk.

2006-01-26 Thread Alexander Lopez
I have contacted Digium and have received a quote of $7,000US to
implement what I will refer to as 'whisper mode'.

It will allow a person to speak to only one side of a bridged call. For
example, I am using ChanSpy to listen to an agent and what they are
hearing and saying. But I cannot tell the agent something, without
calling them on another line. This wil allow you to speak to your agent
without the customer hearing.

I have already put up 1,000US for this. I just need 6,000 more. 

I know many have asked for this before, now is our chance to do this.

[Asterisk-Users] CDR logging in /var/log/asterisk instead of MySQL DB

2006-01-26 Thread Michaël Gaudette



Hi,

I've just 
reinstalled Asterisk 1.2.3 on a fresh system and since I've noticed that the CDR 
logging in MySQL (on a different computer) has stopped. I thought it 
wasn't logging anything at all, but I realized after a bit of searching that 
there were log files in /var/log/asterisk/cdr_customand 
/var/log/asterisk/cdr_csv with up to date logs.

My cdr_mysql.conf is 
set up properly, and I get no indication that the connection to MySQL is not 
working properly. Has something changed since 1.2.2 or 
1.2.3?

Mike

PRI signalling means that calls and answered and dialed (aka signalled) by asterisk, the goal is to maintain the signalling between the two nortel boxes.
 
I have gathered that raw point to point circuit emulation is not possible on asterisk...
 


To connect the channels of the T1 straight through would be by using a 
Digital Access Cross Connect system (DACS in proprietary ATT lingo). I 
believe there is this capability in zaptel, though this does not seem 
like the best option. As mentioned before, the ISDN PRI signaling seems 
like a much better solution.



I am aware of how to connect a PBX to asterisk using ISDN PRI signalling.

[Asterisk-Users] Local Channel Call Looping

2006-01-26 Thread Darren Sessions
*** If anyone has a better way of doing this, please post to the list. I 
hadn't seen anything on this list or in channel.c/chan_local.c - which 
prompted this email ***


I'm not sure how many VoIP providers out there are using Asterisk as a 
service platform like we do, but I thought I'd share an experience with 
call looping that was racking my brain with the list.


One of the features we offer our customers, is of course, call 
forwarding. We take a call in and spit it back out to whatever the call 
forward number is set by the customer.


With our particular proxy setup, if a call originates from * to the 
proxy it will never loop back to *; this prevents SIP call loops.


In *, for an on-net call forward number, we would use the dial command 
to call (if it was registered) the customer's device with SIP via the 
proxy, and also dial a local channel to process any of the 'forward to' 
customer's features; again, this is for an on-net call.


The problem was that if when we dial the local channel and that customer 
had forwarded calls to the first number or calls were setup to forward 
from cust1 to cust2 to cust3 to cust1, we were getting an infinite local 
channel loop. As you can imagine, the load on * was off the charts.


The solution to the problem finally ended up being to set inherited 
channel variables.


First, we'd read/parse the channel variable to determine if the call was 
coming in anything other than a local channel. If it was, a variable 
with that called number label was immediately set to a value of 1 - i.e. 
the first in the chain.


Next, an addition variable with the 'call forward to' number was also 
given a value of 1, and then the call was processed. When the new local 
channel for the 'forward to' number was spawned, and assuming that call 
forwarding was set on that number, the process would repeat with this 
inherited variable label scheme.


The catch is that in each iteration at the same time the call forward to 
number is being labeled, the system would check that variable for a 
value before it tried to assign one. If the variable had a value, it was 
safe to assume that it had already been processed in the call chain 
somewhere and therefore the system would be looping the call if it 
continued.


Here are some sanitized Perl based AGI excerpts that accomplish this:


sub callfwd_loop_check
{
  my %v;
  ($v{callednum},$v{cfnum}) = @_;
  $v{num} = $AGI-get_variable($v{cfnum});
  if ($v{num})
  {
  debug( Call Loop Anaylsis for .$v{callednum}. = 
LOOPING);

  return(1);
  }
  else
  {
  debug( Call Loop Anaylsis for .$v{callednum}. = NO 
LOOP);

  $AGI-exec('Set',__.$v{cfnum}.=.$v{callednum})
  }
  return;
}

$AGI-exec('Set',__.$callednumber.=1) if ($calltype !~/^Local/);

if (callfwd_loop_check($callednumber,$callfwdtonum))
{
  return;
}

$AGI-exec('Dial',Local/+.$callfwdtonum.[EMAIL PROTECTED]SIP/+.$callfwdtonum.[EMAIL PROTECTED]|180); 




I hope this all makes sense! :)

Thanks,

 Your RTP stream doesn't pass thrue Asterisk and it can't hear that you
 have pressed any key (that you are requesting that he parks the call).

I understand that.  I have a different problem:  My calls randomly get
disconnected when asterisk is in the media path.  So, for now I have
tried to take asterisk out of the media path.  Not being able to park
is a consequences of that.  What I really want to do is figure out why

 You can do a down and dirty test to see if it will work.  You can

Then after you answer the channel play the file. The 'special tone' will

[Asterisk-Users] app_background and app_cepstral

2006-01-26 Thread Jason Wolfe
currently, when using swift TTS engine with app_cepstral, generated audio is
streamed to the channel.  This means that a call to ceptsral operates like
app_playback.  I need the functionality of app_background.  I'm thinking I
have two options... 1.) use system() to call swift engine, create a
temporary file, background() the temp file, and then delete the temp file.
option 2.) write this functionality into app_cepstral and use a flag in the
call.

Has anyone already solved this problem, or does anyone have another
suggestion?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Random Disconnects

2006-01-26 Thread C F
OK, some update on this. It's not related to the Sipuras (actualy the
sipuras are very good at this, since they will re-ring your call). I
changed my setup to a mediatrix 1204 and I still have the problem.
Right now I'm looking at:
1. Changing the NIC.
2. Changing the machine asterisk is on.
I will start with one, if that fails, then I'm going with a new
machine (such fun:P)

BTW, what NIC are you using? what chipset is it? what module makes it
work? and/or what option in the kernle did you compile that loads it?
A 'dmesg | grep eth' should give you some info.

Thank You

 Hi Tomislav,

   I am not very satisfied with this, though.  I want to use some
   features (like Park) that apparently don't work well with reinvites.
   Have any of the rest of you had any luck troubleshooting this problem?
 
  Your RTP stream doesn't pass thrue Asterisk and it can't hear that you
  have pressed any key (that you are requesting that he parks the call).

 I understand that.  I have a different problem:  My calls randomly get
 disconnected when asterisk is in the media path.  So, for now I have
 tried to take asterisk out of the media path.  Not being able to park
 is a consequences of that.  What I really want to do is figure out why
 my calls get disconnected.  If I could fix that, I could disable
 reinvites and use park again.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Fail over to Pri on VoIP connection failure

2006-01-26 Thread Dovid Bender
I know this may be a backwards way but for several
reasons I have asterisk send all calls thru astcc.
With astcc you specify multiple routes with prioroty
settings. If it cant complete a call with one route it
will roll over and use the next one.

Dovid

[Asterisk-Users] Pause/UnpauseQueueMember

2006-01-26 Thread Ben Ferguson
Title: Message



Hello all. 
Anybody around that is utilizing the PauseQueueMember and UnpauseQueueMember 
applications? Or even the AddQueueMember and RemoveQueueMember 
applications? I'm trying to set these applications up to function in 
relation to the agent number, rather than the extension the agent is at. 
I'm not having much luck. Anybody have any pointers or suggestions on how 
to get these applications working based on the agent id instead of the interface 
(which is basically the phone extension they are at)?

Does it seem silly 
to anyone elsethat AgentCallbackLogin and AgentLogin work relative to an 
Agent ID, but PauseQueueMamber works relative to the interface? Makes 
things difficult to manage. I mean, PauseQueueMember actually pauses 
theAgent ona single or all Queues, sothere must be a way to 
pass it the Agent ID rather than theextension. Perhaps 
Pause/UnpauseQueueMember needs an overhaul or perhaps we need a PauseAgent and 
UnpauseAgent...

Any help on this 
would be GREATLY appreciated!


Thanks,
Ben Ferguson
