Some clarification here:

If you dial using:

  Dial([EMAIL PROTECTED])

You can use peer-specific codec setting in the specific settings for
that peer.

If you dial using:
  
  Dial([EMAIL PROTECTED])

you use the default settings.

Hi,
Does anyone have a neat idea as how to
bill inbound calls per minute(second) real time?

I've been pplaying with astcc, but while
'billseconds' stays empty, 'billcost' has
strange behavior - either stays ampty
or takes ONCE the "Connect fee"(if I put one)
and keeps it that way no matter how long
the call is ...( if no "Connect fee" -stays empty).

i.e.
[inbound]
exten => 1122334455,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=${EXTEN})
exten => 1122334455,2,DeadAGI(astcc.agi,${CALLERIDNUM},${EXTEN},4)
exten => 1122334455,3,Hangup
   



DeadAGI is for hungup channels, not for active channels.
That might be a problem.

Try this:
exten => h,1,DeadAGI(astcc.agi,${CALLERIDNUM},${EXTEN},4)
 

ASTCC works fine here. The duration and billseconds fields in my cdrs as 
well as ASTCC's cdr are filled.

I don't use the connect fee field though and all are set to 0.

Hi,

Just forget to choose the Codec on asterisk :(

Only solution is :
Disallow=all
Allow=YourCodec

If client doesn't have that codec you will need to
transcode on asterisk.
If client has that codec,asterisk will do pass-thru
and it will work.

We have dealt with this issue in small offices by using phones that
contain a switch (Polycom IP500s) and do their own QoS. In other
words, all the users' PCs are hooked into their phone, so any
excessive traffic does not interfere with the phone. Since the phones
then hook directly into the same switch that the PBX (Asterisk) hangs
off, quality has been fine. Keep in mind this is for small offices
like you describe. Provided the topology of your switches is OK, you
should be fine. Just don't uplink to another switch where you can
create a non-QoSd bottleneck link.

To not answer your question, but send you in the right direction:

If you use a terminaton service, you do not need a phone card.

[Asterisk-Users] Strata DK280 + [EMAIL PROTECTED]

2006-02-05 Thread Chris Peacock








We have a Toshiba Strata DK280 and are about to implement it
with a server running [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.4. We have the Asterisk server running fine
with a Digium analogue card and it receives and makes calls absolutely fine, of
course this is just one line only so only one call at a time. We would like to
know the basic steps to running our Strata PBX system with the Asterisk server.
It currently uses ISDN technology to handle calls to extensions using a series
of cards as a 30 channel system (models of cards available if needed).

 

I assume of course we’ll need an ISDN card in the
Asterisk server to be able to ‘talk’ to the Strata system but
that’s about where it stops. I would really appreciate it if you could
provide some steps on what to do to connect the Strata system to the Asterisk
server, what cards / equipment is required to allow the Asterisk server to
manage the 30 channels and anything else I’ve missed here. Thanks in
advance.

My asterix now accepts calls coming in via CAPI.

I had to change my dialplan for the specific context to:
[isdn_incoming]
  exten => s,1,SetLanguage(de)
  exten => s,2,Dial(SIP/10,60)
  exten => s,3,Voicemail2(u10)
  exten => s,4,Hangup
  exten => s,103,Voicemail2(b10)
  exten => s,104,Hangup

I tried first with "3413" (the MSN) instead of "s".

Thanks to all of you who were so kind to answer my postings!

[Asterisk-Users] 1 ISDN BRI to IAX2/SIP... (*) best tool or?...

2006-02-05 Thread Francesco Peeters (Asterisk)
I have a question,

I have to provide a solution for an office that will be almost abandoned,
and there will be one or sometimes two persons 2 days a week. The main
number however should be preserved.

They have several ISDN BRI connections, most of which will be dropped.
Only one will be retained, for 2 reasons:
1) It has the ADSL link
2) The number has been the main contact number for over 20 years.

What we are looking for is to put a single SIP phone in the office, and
have it connect back to an (*) server in the central office, where all
other servers are located as well.

In the remote office a single machine should be placed to terminate the
BRI connection and relay it to the (*) server in the central office. That
way the old number can be retained and an active phone can pick up the
line as necessary.

The preferred protocol to use would be IAX2, obviously.

My question is whether there are any tools better suited for this than an
old banger (AMD 800 MHz) PC with a HFC-PCI card and (*) relaying (switch)
the incoming calls to the central box.
(No intelligence there, no AGI scripts, just encode and transmit. Also no
phones would need to be logged in to that machine, and outbound calling
would only take place in very rare cases when the lines *and* VOIP
connections at the central site are all congested...)

TIA!

DeadAGI is for hungup channels, not for active channels.
That might be a problem.

Thanks for the idea, it will work for my
two interconnected PBX’s. Happily those two can really be locked down and
properly firewalled because they’re on fixed IP’s (allmost).

Will using encription require some extra bandwidth?
How much?

 





 



Better yet, if you want some added security 



you can get IAX2 to do encryption between two asterisk



endpoints instead and avoid the extra latency of a vpn layer.

So this trick allows an anonymous connection onto the * and next it closes
the connection (Hangup). Isn't it possible to make Asterisk completely

Yep, this is an other problem. I might after all allow connections from
unrecognized sip phones go to my operator (mabe they're clients!), but
sending "clear text" passwords over udp packets is not nice at all. As with
other things in life, I don't think anyone's actually actively tracking my
moves and trying to hack into my network, but I am afraid of "IT hooligans"
detecting my UDP packet on it's way from my home to my office and hacking it
just to prove it's possible.

Trying to find my own way through this maze I came across this page:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-SIP+Authentication

...and I ask: What kind of authentication does Asterisk provide with SIP? Is
it digest or basic? If it's digest - it's fine with me. If it's basic - I'll
have to set up some more "barriers" for calls coming over the public network
(like asking for a password from the IVR, before allowing any kind of
outgoing calls). 

I will not be using any kind of VPN because of the extra bandwidth required.

[Asterisk-Users] Billing inbound calls per minute

2006-02-05 Thread bbench
Hi,
Does anyone have a neat idea as how to
bill inbound calls per minute(second) real time?

I've been pplaying with astcc, but while
'billseconds' stays empty, 'billcost' has
strange behavior - either stays ampty
or takes ONCE the "Connect fee"(if I put one)
and keeps it that way no matter how long
the call is ...( if no "Connect fee" -stays empty).

i.e.
[inbound]
exten => 1122334455,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=${EXTEN})
exten => 1122334455,2,DeadAGI(astcc.agi,${CALLERIDNUM},${EXTEN},4)
exten => 1122334455,3,Hangup

Thanks in advance,
benchev

Hey,

We are running asterisk on the internet, allowing sip phones
at customers locations/laptops etc login and use the calls.
Just make sure to disallow sip users/peers without valid
user/secret in the extensions.conf
(something like this in sip.conf)
[general]
context = sip-default
(and in extensions.conf)
[sip-default]
exten => s,1,Hangup()

If you dont trust and fear someone is sniffing your udp
packets that hold user/secret, you can always setup openvpn
(or whatever vpn solution) and use that to connect first and
tunnel your sip traffic through it

As long as the current infrastructure is decent, you should be fine without

Hi,

Just forget to choose the Codec on asterisk :(

Only solution is :
Disallow=all
Allow=YourCodec

If client doesn't have that codec you will need to
transcode on asterisk.
If client has that codec,asterisk will do pass-thru
and it will work.

[Asterisk-Users] (newby) Asterisk on the open internet & security

2006-02-05 Thread Cosmin Prund

Hello everyone. I'm again bothering you with a bit of a problem, hopefully
not really a problem. I just need someone to tell me this is ok :-)

I'm planning on having two * machines on the open internet (ie: not behind a
NAT) and having them talk to each other using IAX2. I can handle all the
fire walling requirements in this case easy because at least one of the *'s
has a fixed address and I'll be able to filter traffic on IP.

It's all fine and safe so far. But then it hit me: I'll also want to "log
on" to my business's PBX from home, in order to gain access to some of its
low-rate gateways! That will not work if my office * filters on IP! Nor
would I be able to use a soft SIP phone on my laptop when I'm not at the
office!

So my question:

Is Asterisk's built-in security enough? If ALL my sip peers have propper
usernames and secrets set up and my box has only the required ports open, is
it safe to run Asterisk on the open internet? Does anyone run Asterisk like
that?

I can allmost answer my own question: "You may safely run Asterisk like that
- there are lots of VoIP services providing PSTN termination that way" but,
being new to all this stuff, I'll stay on the safe side and ask.

Thanks.

hi all,
 I keep asking the question and getting no replies, so i'll keep asking :-)
 
 In asterisk 1.09, with autocreatepeer=yes, if i send asterisk a SIP request from SER, specifically 
  rewritehostport("myIP:5070"); (asterisk running on port 5070) asterisk picks up the request and matches it to the dialplan, i.e. if in ser i was sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it will make it [EMAIL PROTECTED]:5070, and asterisk will match it to 151 in the dialplan. 
 
In asterisk 1.2 asterisk completely ignores the request (even at most verbose level) and an ngrep shows a "not found" returned to SER.
 
anyone have any idea why this is happening, bug/feature, or how to get it to work the way it did in 1.09? I want to upgrade but I don't want to lose this functionality.
 
thanks for any help,
 yair

If you have a fairly decent 100Mbit switch, you'll be fine. I assume
you will make up to 10 simultaneous calls, so you can calculate the
bandwidth you'll be using.
(http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Bandwidth+consumption) When using
the G.711 codec, it'll be about 1.5-2Mbps when doing 10 simultaneous
calls.

If you don't overload your internal network, you'll be fine..

Hi Jean-Michel,
 have you tried upgrading? can you confirm this behavior? It seems to me this is a major issue for those of us running SER + asterisk, and who dont want to configure each SIP client in SER and asterisk separately.

[Asterisk-Users] Sirrix PC140 Quad card

2006-02-05 Thread Marnus van Niekerk




Hi,

I have just installed a Sirrux PC140 card for the first time.  Managed
to build the drivers and
get * to load them on FC4, but it does not work.

It seems that layer1 in the ISDN is not even activated.  The same ISDN
lines connected to a Samsung DCS works so it is not the lines.

I am including my sirrix.conf and the output of some of the * Srx
commands below.  Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thank you

Re: [Asterisk-Users] IP PAX gateway to PSTN

2006-02-05 Thread Jean-Michel Hiver



Sam, I am still unsure to understand your question :-/

How much your telco is going to charge you for the PSTN calls depends 
on your arrangement with the telco... Usually, with proper volume 
interconnects (say you order a PRI line), these calls are charged per 
second.



Do I really need PRI T1 line when I initially setup VoIP network?


It largely depends what you are trying to achieve. But if you want to 
become a VoIP carrier for your area, yes.


Cheers,
Jean-Michel.

[Asterisk-Users] re: questions about sip requests to asterisk 1.2

2006-02-05 Thread Yair Hakak
hi all,
 I keep asking the question and getting no replies, so i'll keep asking :-)
 
 In asterisk 1.09, with autocreatepeer=yes, if i send asterisk a SIP request from SER, specifically 
  rewritehostport("myIP:5070"); (asterisk running on port 5070) asterisk picks up the request and matches it to the dialplan, i.e. if in ser i was sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it will make it 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:5070, and asterisk will match it to 151 in the dialplan. 
 
In asterisk 1.2 asterisk completely ignores the request (even at most verbose level) and an ngrep shows a "not found" returned to SER.
 
anyone have any idea why this is happening, bug/feature, or how to get it to work the way it did in 1.09? I want to upgrade but I don't want to lose this functionality.
 
thanks for any help,
 yair

Hm, interesting. In the case that you do PRI (or BRI) to G729. How do
you calculate this number (40-50) ? Or do you write this number down
because of your own experience?

I assume when using PRI -> G.711, that machine could handle 'much' more?

There are lots of Asterisk users here in Australia...and it's not illegal.

You will probably have to discuss charging with your Telco.

If it's anything like my setup, Asterisk handles ALL calls, whether
from sip, iax, or zap.  So when the zap line rings, asterisk will ring
your internal sip phone(s), and if the call isn't picked up after so
many seconds, it'll stop ringing the internal lines and go straight to
voicemail.  No phones are connected directly to the POTS line, just asterisk.

The only downside to this approach, is the caller will hear about two
rings before you beging to hear anything (takes asterisk that long to
see the call, check for callerid, then start ringing your internal
lines).  My solution is to have a quick greeting played to the caller,
then they hear ringing again when the internal lines ring.  Also gives
me a chance to force callers to press "1" if I don't recognize their
callerid, stops telemarketers dead in their tracks (those auto-dialing
machines that ring you and either hang up after you pick up, or tell
you to stay on the line for an important message, will not know to
dial 1 first and will be hung up on).

Again, give everyone in your home/office a phone connected to asterisk
(whether it's a sip/iax phone, or a regular phone connected to an ATA,
or what have you).  Any call that comes in will go through asterisk.
Then you won't have to worry about having it detect if a POTS line was
picked up directly, if you have it pass the call to an internal phone,
it'll know if that phone picked up or not, and will know whether to
pass it to voicemail or not.

I am not really sure to understand the question. But assuming you are 
having:


(remote phone) -> internet -> PSTN gateway -> end phone

The connection charge is going to be PSTN gateway -> end phone.

However note that in certain VoIP-backwards countries this scheme is 
illegal, and the telco might ask you to pay the international call 
termination charge if they find out you're doing this.

There are at least 3 or 4 companies in the UK that'lloffer you a consecutive number range for a UK area code.Only a small fortune though :-)  my 8 NTL lines are £13/month (each)BT do a similar deal.  (what is a business grade ADSL line now? £50/month?)Where a VOIP supplier you might save big-time would be on the callcosts.If you sign up with a VOIP provider for business purposes,make _absolutely sure_ you understand the risks.Check the SLA and compare to BT/NTL'sCheck your ISP's SLA.Make sure you own the numbers and can port them offto another provider (or a traditional telco).I looked at these factors and decided that VOIP was too risky forour main number, but fine for 'extras' and low cost international.This was based on an experience we had 18 months ago,BT had a major fire in the local exchange trunk in Manchester.They had the phones working or redirected to mobiles withinhours. (NTL just kept working as they were on a fibre that didn'tpass through that duct). Our ISP was unable to offer any sortof service for the best part of 10 days, and we were paying£6k/yr for the leased line. If our phones had been over thatwe would have been out of business for 10 days. You'd also avoid a substantial chunk of potential echo issues. The asteriskdeployments we've done where the client has had calls delivered via IAX froma provider have all been *much* easier and taken far less time than when wehave to fight with ISDN lines, or worse, analogue lines.I'm pretty happy with my Digium PRI card, and it isn't even one withecho canceling hardware. I haven't touched analog or BRI, asyet.Regards,Chris-- C.M. Bagnall, Director, Minotaur I.T.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] IP PAX gateway to PSTN

Hi,

If I setup an IP PAX gateway to handle VoIP calls to a traditional 
phone line, I am wondering how each VoIP call to the PSTN connection 
get charged by a local Telecom.


I am not really sure to understand the question. But assuming you are 
having:


(remote phone) -> internet -> PSTN gateway -> end phone

The connection charge is going to be PSTN gateway -> end phone.

However note that in certain VoIP-backwards countries this scheme is 
illegal, and the telco might ask you to pay the international call 
termination charge if they find out you're doing this.


Cheers,
Jean-Michel.

Here are some relevant keywords:

you basically need to install softphones (software VoIP "phones") on the
computers that use either SIP or IAX. then set up in Asterisk extensions
for both of them (SIP or IAX, depends on the type of the softphone).

You can use SIP soft phone to do pc to pc voice communication witch asterisk. 
You need only to define two users at sip.conf such as 5000 and 5001 
Then make a simple extension define in extension.conf

exten => 5000,1,Dial(SIP/5000,20)
exten => 5001,1,Dial(SIP/5001,20)

extra hardware 
I searched the FAQ and wiki for any links
for this , so far I have not found one , It would be
much help , if I get a  link on  “ communicating  PC
to PC in the same lan through Asterisk  “
