Re: [asterisk-users] Queue and Interface time out
Okay, that makes sense. I wasn't thinking about the SIP driver needing to be told to track the peer's status. I assumed it just did that. So now there's a new problem. The Queue application doesn't always clear the member interface's status after completing a call. The SIP peer no longer has an active channel but the queue will still show the member 'In use'. The occurrence of this is erratic and I have been unable to determine any commonalities among the callers or members other than that it happens to all members. Connecting to the peer outside of the queue will clear the status. Any ideas? Thanks, James Watkins, Bradley wrote: What it actually does is tell the SIP channel driver to track whether or not any given peer has a call to it. It can then subsequently inform the Queue application so that another call will not be given to that user. If you did not have the ringinuse=no in your queue definition, you would then be able to receive up to 5 simultaneous calls (after five, then the SIP channel driver would return busy and Queue wouldn't be able to dial that peer).

[asterisk-users] Problems with rxfax
Dear list, The company I'm working for is trying to use app_rxfax to receive faxes on an Asterisk machine. Our initial tests looked very promising, but unfortunately we've encountered some problems. We've been trying to solve these problems for quite some time now, but we're running out of options. So I really hope that somebody can give some help here. Basically our set-up is this: We have an Asterisk server (version 1.2.7) with an ISDN trunk (Sangoma A104D), we've configured asterisk to run rxfax on a specified extension. Originally we started out with spandsp 0.0.2pre26 and the original app_rxfax for spandsp 0.0.2. Some of the faxes were coming in perfectly, but soon we noticed that quite often there were substantial pieces of the fax missing in the resulting tif file. We've tried the following to solve these problems: - We've checked the timing settings for the ISDN trunk, these seem to be ok. - We've tried several versions of libtiff (currently we are using 3.7.2). - We've tried using 0.0.3 versions of spandsp (since we're using asterisk 1.2.7 we had to modify app_rxfax.c to work). - We've created a custom dialplan application to disable the echo cancellation on the isdn channel on which the fax is received. - We've tried various settings for t30_set_supported_compressions, t30_set_supported_image_sizes, t30_set_supported_modems and t30_set_supported_resolutions (I must confes that I didn't really know which settings to use here, but we have tried a lot of them). - We've tried several fax machines to send the faxes, ranging from simple fax-modems to large dedicated fax machines. But still a lot of faxes give problems, either the tif is missing large portions, or the fax isn't received at all. At the bottom of this mail are 2 examples of the logging when it goes wrong. I really hope that somebody can give a few pointers.

Re: [asterisk-users] NAT solutions
On 21 Jan 2007, at 07:55, Brad Templeton wrote: Some NAT problems you can solve, some you never will. Many modern phones have NAT support in them, via STUN, or a static external IP address. Most NATs also offer port forwarding, so you can open a hole for the SIP port in the NAT so all outside can reach it. (With port forwarding, you need a constant address for each SIP phone, so that means either static IP for the phone, or a DHCP server with the ability to always bind a device to the same address - the latter is preferable because you can move your phone to other networks more easily.) Many devices also feature NAT keep alive on the SIP port. That is a must if you can't open ports, but it sure generates a lot of annoying debug output when you turn on sip debug. Nothing beats a permanent NAT entry point though. Some devices, notably Ciscos, just don't support NAT as well. They don't have STUN, and while they may have a static external IP mapping, that's no good if your NAT itself has a dynamic address, as most home broadband NATs do. Asterisk, if you set nat=yes (or often even without that) will take incoming packets from a natted phone, and look at the incoming address, and send back to it regardless of what the phone says in its SIP headers. That's handy, but unfortunately it does not do the same thing for the SDP, so if the phone hands out an SDP with an unreachable address, Asterisk handles it badly. Some SIP gateways are smarter, and if they see an unreachable address in the SDP, ignore it and send to whatever address they get incoming RTP from. You'll have better luck connecting to such endpoints. Many termination providers do this, so you may find your phones can talk to the term provider, but not to other phones on the same * box. Many consumer nats will not hairpin audio. That means if you do all this work to rewrite the addresses in your SIP headers/SDP via STUN so you look like an externally routable device, and Asterisk hooks you up with another device behind your same NAT, you will get one way audio. I get this problem -- I have a * box at one location, with most of the phones (no problem for those) and some other phones at another location behind NAT. These phones can talk to the main location, but not to one another, due to the hairpin. What fun. A new method, called ICE, was drafted a while ago but is getting slow adoption. In ICE, devices are given a list of possible ways they could reach one another (directly, through nats, via RTP forwarders etc.) They try them all and pick the best. In the end it will always work through the RTP forwarders, but that costs bandwidth and latency. So far, however, support is limited. In the meanwhile, use IAX, which understands about NAT pretty well. If you have multiple SIP phones on a LAN behind a NATing router, just put a small asterisk box on the LAN. It can manage your hairpin calls internally, save you bandwidth by trunking the IAX traffic to the central asterisk and avoid all the NAT hassle by using a single port (outgoing) and refreshing it often enough for the router to hold it open.

I am trying to automatically detect disconnected numbers when using the outbound dialer I have written. * Some numbers hang up immediately with a Cause Code > 0 and no voice treatment * Some numbers get voice treatment with a PROGRESS indication and an associated Cause Code > 0 * Some numbers get voice treatment with a PROGRESS indication and no associated cause code (CC=0) My application can pick up the PROGRESS indication (if I get one) and handle the hangup, but not if I don't get a cause code! Is there anything I can do to ensure that I always get a PROGRESS indication with cause code or a hangup with cause code? Behaviour of the PRI seems to differ across telcos and also across numbers. I don't want to just assume hangup on PROGRESS indication as this may not be a disconnected number - it might be a forwarded or redirected number. I need to achieve consistency and this is proving very difficult. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, which tree should I be barking up? cheers, Mark. -- regards, Mark P.

As well maintained the "debian based asterisk" is, AsteriskNOW is maintained by Digium itself. I would think that that counts for something. In addition, AsteriskNOW attempts to delivery an out-of-the-box usable Asterisk PBX, which isn't what the debian packages Asterisk is doing. If you want a simple straight forward install that gives you an easy to use Asterisk box with little other software involved, then you get AsteriskNOW.

[asterisk-users] IP of SIP server changing
I've got my 1.2.x Asterisk server registering with a SIP provider using their servers DNS entry, not their IP address. My server is behind a NAT. The setup works like a champ for weeks then I get a call reporting inbound calls are failing. When my server isn't registered, inbound callers get a "disconnected" message; very bad. When it happens, I've found that the IP address in the "sip show peers" output isn't correct; it doesn't match what "host sipserver" reports. Can someone explain to me what Asterisk does in the way of hostname-to-address lookups when it's registering with an external SIP server? What happens when the IP for the name changes? The provider claims they've changed nothing and a little cron job I setup to look up the DNS entry every 5 minutes didn't catch anything when the fault happened again today.

I only have incoming zap lines in my config and with the exception of hangup on ringing I have found hangup detection to work fine.

Somewhere in IDEfisk is this call that initialised iax client: iaxclient.h:EXPORT int iaxc_initialize(int audType, int nCalls); what you want is nCalls to be 1. There is a configurable parameter in sip.conf: call-limit, but this seems to be missing from the iax channel setup. Maybe this is deliberate for other reasons though.

Our initial tests looked very promising, but unfortunately we've encountered some problems. We've been trying to solve these problems for quite some time now, but we're running out of options. So I really hope that somebody can give some help here. Basically our set-up is this: We have an Asterisk server (version 1.2.7) with an ISDN trunk (Sangoma A104D), we've configured asterisk to run rxfax on a specified extension. Originally we started out with spandsp 0.0.2pre26 and the original app_rxfax for spandsp 0.0.2. Some of the faxes were coming in perfectly, but soon we noticed that quite often there were substantial pieces of the fax missing in the resulting tif file. We've tried the following to solve these problems: - We've checked the timing settings for the ISDN trunk, these seem to be ok. - We've tried several versions of libtiff (currently we are using 3.7.2). - We've tried using 0.0.3 versions of spandsp (since we're using asterisk 1.2.7 we had to modify app_rxfax.c to work). - We've created a custom dialplan application to disable the echo cancellation on the isdn channel on which the fax is received. - We've tried various settings for t30_set_supported_compressions, t30_set_supported_image_sizes, t30_set_supported_modems and t30_set_supported_resolutions (I must confes that I didn't really know which settings to use here, but we have tried a lot of them). - We've tried several fax machines to send the faxes, ranging from simple fax-modems to large dedicated fax machines. But still a lot of faxes give problems, either the tif is missing large portions, or the fax isn't received at all. At the bottom of this mail are 2 examples of the logging when it goes wrong. I really hope that somebody can give a few pointers.

Re: [asterisk-users] Problems with rxfax
I would install Hylafax(opensource too) with Asterisk via IAXModem, it worth! You can keep all the features, hylafax running in same server or a separated one, and IAXmodem will be a Modem on Hylafax, and a simple extension on you *.

Basically our set-up is this: We have an Asterisk server (version 1.2.7) with an ISDN trunk (Sangoma A104D), we've configured asterisk to run rxfax on a specified extension. Originally we started out with spandsp 0.0.2pre26 and the original app_rxfax for spandsp 0.0.2. Some of the faxes were coming in perfectly, but soon we noticed that quite often there were substantial pieces of the fax missing in the resulting tif file. We've tried the following to solve these problems: - We've checked the timing settings for the ISDN trunk, these seem to be ok. - We've tried several versions of libtiff (currently we are using 3.7.2). - We've tried using 0.0.3 versions of spandsp (since we're using asterisk 1.2.7 we had to modify app_rxfax.c to work). - We've created a custom dialplan application to disable the echo cancellation on the isdn channel on which the fax is received. - We've tried various settings for t30_set_supported_compressions, t30_set_supported_image_sizes, t30_set_supported_modems and t30_set_supported_resolutions (I must confes that I didn't really know which settings to use here, but we have tried a lot of them). - We've tried several fax machines to send the faxes, ranging from simple fax-modems to large dedicated fax machines. But still a lot of faxes give problems, either the tif is missing large portions, or the fax isn't received at all. At the bottom of this mail are 2 examples of the logging when it goes wrong. I really hope that somebody can give a few pointers.

I feel comfortable in saying that there is no 100% guaranteed way of detecting disconnected numbers on a PRI. I've done lots of testing and come to the conclusion that you have to do your best to work around it. For example, I know that phone number xxx-yyy- is disconnected. I dial it 25 times with Asterisk. 18 times I get one cause code (like 'invalid' or fast busy - I don't recall the exact cause code number), 6 times I get PROGRESS indicating ring-no answer and 1 time I get traditional busy. All calls to same phone number, same provider, made one right after the other. Oddly enough, if I call the number on a POTS line I *ALWAYS* get the disconnect message. It's one case where advanced technology yields poorer results than the old stuff.

Adoption is wide but who is willing to give away their competitive edge (although ebay doesn't really have any real competition). Thanks, Steve Steve, Thanks for trying UnWired Buyer! :) Yes, we're very happy with Allison's work. I just checked and while I think we used some of the existing sounds at the start, I believe (and ls -lurt concurs) that we've had Allison record everything we use now. I recorded most of our original sounds, but, as many people refer to my voice as "the voice of a songbird.strangling in hot tar!", it was decided to contact Allison. As UWB is a real time, auction is almost over tool, we had her rerecord existing sounds that we needed just a little faster and instead of using sixty and five, we got her to record sixty-five, etc. As for asterisk, yes we use it. We designed and funded the ExternalIVR app (so don't blame Kevin for my ugly protocol design) and worked with Kevin on uncovering some deeper bugs that our high volume use of asterisk uncovered (long live valgrind). I believe that Digium talked about us using Asterisk at Astricon 2 years ago, but that could just be a trick of my fading memory. Digium and the community: Thank you for Asterisk!

Re: [asterisk-users] 7 points of comparison Polycom 430/501 and Aastra 480i. Which one to choose ?
IMO, the 480i, by a LONG shot. The 480i is easier to use, looks nicer, has better audio quality, easier to read, and has a great speakerphone. The web-interface is also leagues better than the tripe the Polycom phones have. The only issue I have with the 480i, is that it's a little unintuitive in how to disable the "X missed calls" option. There's no option in the web-interface (I'm told one is coming, however), so you have to manually edit a .cfg file and send the info back to the phone. Other than that, I have had zero problems with my 480i's, and nothing but frustration with any of the Polycoms I have on hand. HTH, Jay Vikas wrote: I need to provide a 80 people office with VOIP.

Just a 'me too' - we send about 3500 faxes per day via Hylafax (I appreciate this thread is about fax reception), until recently using the onboard DSPs of an Eicon Diva Server quad-BRI card, and the success rate we've achieved using 8 instances of IAXModem instead of the Diva Server card is just as high :) The thing that really impressed me was that we're not using any kind of dedicated (v)LAN for the link between the Hylafax and Asterisk servers.

[asterisk-users] Streaming audio file while working in background ?
Hey All, Is there an app available, or another method, to stream an audio file to a caller while performing additional actions in the background? Regardless of whether DTMF is received or not from the caller. I had originally thought that I could use the "Background" app for this but after further investigation found that Background is primarily for playing audio and waiting for DTMF, and it seems it won't do what I need in this situation. Ideally I would like to be able to play an audio file to the caller while making outbound calls in the background (via the Dial app) and then discontinue the audio file stream and bridge the calls once an outbound call is connected. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this with * ?

The calling party has attached "m=video" SDP field in INVITE message, but did not get "m=video" SDP from the peer "200 OK" response message. Could you tell me how to configure the Asterisk to get video call?

The web-interface is also leagues better than the tripe the Polycom phones have. The only issue I have with the 480i, is that it's a little unintuitive in how to disable the "X missed calls" option. There's no option in the web-interface (I'm told one is coming, however), so you have to manually edit a .cfg file and send the info back to the phone. Other than that, I have had zero problems with my 480i's, and nothing but frustration with any of the Polycoms I have on hand.

They've been in the business of high quality audio for many, many years. Aastra has, OTOH, been in the business of POTS telephones for about the same amount of time. Web interface: yes, absolutely correct. However nobody, and I mean nobody who has any sanity at all will be using a web interface for anything more than a onesie-twosie deployment. Polycom's win hands down (IMO) in this department. It's just amazing how you can deploy these things without ever touching the actual phone. I'm waiting for a polycom 802.11 phone, and praying the damn thing has bluetooth. -A. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Your list seems to lean heavily to the Aastra, while I choose the Polycom 501/601 over the Aastra, I did like the unit I tested and the cordless. In the end the fact that most of the people using the phones would use the speaker phone, Polycom and their history of conference phones made the choice.

Hello everyone, We just installed a new Trixbox 2.0 server and updated FreePBX to 2.2.0 from 2.2.0rc3. We are having some problems with regards to Music on Hold on IP phones. When we press the "Hold" button, the caller doesn't hear the MOH sound. This functionality used to work with the older [EMAIL PROTECTED] installation on the same hardware and configuration. However, we don't have any problems with softphones only on IP phones. Is there anyone also having the same problem? Best regards, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning.

Perhaps it was a hardware defect. Besides that alot of buttons/features that don't work and cant be turned off "TrMail" and "Pickup" soft keys. If I am not mistaken they are using Broadcom CallCtrl which is the same thing Aastra uses and they support asterisk very well.

[asterisk-users] Weird names vs. correct agent's ext.
Hello all! I've "Queue Log Analyzer" installed [http://www.micpc.com/qloganalyzer] to check Asterisk main stats. There's an option of "CALLS COMPLETED [ALL]" where I can see the completed calls that entered any of the queues. There, there's a column that displays the extention number of the Agent who received each call, for example, it displays: Agent/202 So I know who that "Joe" which has that ext. got it. However, sometimes [like on 2% of the records] it displays weid names such as: Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1 SIP/202-007bc0f0 My questions are: a. Why?? b. Can I safely assume, eventhough the display is like that for whatever reason, that by reading the extention number between the line that such agent received such call? For example, in the two samples above it says "Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1" and "SIP/202-007bc0f0" so I assume agent on ext 202 got the call, is this correct? Thanks for your help. Best!

[asterisk-users] Why app_rx and app_tx when we have IAXModem and Hylafax and hy-email2fax? Should we reinvent the wheel?
I'm just wondering here, in our community... Why not HylaFax for Fax solutions? I'm not saying bad about the big efforts on app_tx and app_rx with spandsp. But as me and many other asterisk users, we find out that Hylafax+IAXModem+Asterisk is very reliable. And from what i've been testing and reading, Hylafax is an extremely powerful: "HylaFAX is an enterprise-class system for sending and receiving facsimiles as well as for sending alpha-numeric pages. The software is designed around a client-server architecture. Fax modems may reside on a single machine on a network and clients can submit an outbound job from any other machine on the network. Client software is designed to be lightweight and easy to port. HylaFAX is designed to be very robust and reliable. The fax server is designed to guard against unexpected failures in the software, in the configuration, in the hardware and in general use. HylaFAX can support multiple modems and a heavy traffic load." http://www.hylafax.org/content/Main_Page Using this architecture and bash script hy-email2fax, i've been able to setup Email2Fax and Fax2Email. Of course, we the community, could improve and simplify the integration and documentation, as well as the process handled currently by hy-email2fax: http://wpkg.org/email2fax/index.php/Download Is a bad idea to bet on this solution? My apologies, if someone thinks that i'm complaining about app_tx and app_rx, that's not the case! What I mean is that the Real Enterprise Fax Server is not Asterisk, but some one had done it already and it's widely used Hylafax... Please let me know if i'm missing something on this email.

[asterisk-users] Aastra 480i freezes
I realized today after much playing around that the Aastra 480i phone (I'm assuming the others as well), will freeze and can be reproduced if all of the following is true: 1. You enable auto answer in the configurations 2. You call from an Aastra phone to another Aastra phone using the alertinfo that auto answers the phone. 3. You hangup and then try using a softbutton programmed as a speeddial, the phone freezes right then. If I put canreinvite=no in sip.conf, then all is fine. Also even when not using auto answer, the phone will freeze after just a few phone calls if canreinvite=yes. Has anybody else seen this problem? I would realy like to disable reinvites.

Here are another $0.02 We too have put in a lot of polycoms and aastras. I agree with a lot of what you noted below...but there are two big strikes against aastra: 1. Firmware bugs. Even some basic functions of the 480i are unusable/unstable due to firmware bugs. The word from support is always "wait for the next firmware" 2. Poor documentation. Their documentation is out of date and lacking a LOT of critical functions. (eg: Try to setup a hold button on the wireless handset using a config file) We're steering more customers towards polycom now.

[asterisk-users] OT: Optimum voice problems.
I'm trying to figure out if I'm the only one with these problems with them. I recently had a few customers that switched to them because of the price, of course that means that they have to use FXO ports, but it is realy cheaper, so customers don't really care. In any case, there are 2 issues that I can't get solved, and they are not interested in helping. 1. When they tell you that they are putting all your lines in a hunt, it realy is not a hunt but just CallForwarding No Answer/Busy, what that means is that if I have asterisk setup to first ring a phone for 5 times and then go to an IVR and answer the phohe, it will go to the next line and stop ringing the first line, and therefore never end up in Voicemail or my IVR. 2. No CPC, hung channles, blank voicemails, and all the other goodies that come with no hangup supervison, is a daily thing. Anybody else seen this?

No CPC, hung channles, blank voicemails, and all the other goodies that come with no hangup supervison, is a daily thing. Make sure you configure your zaptel signaling correctly. If you have loopstart (fxs_ls) then the best solution is use busydetect. On my loopstart line, it will always hangup in <4s if the other party hangs up. Of course, in my loopstart setup I'll still get the occasional blank voicemail if the other party hung up just as asterisk goes to voicemail. But, that's rather normal for most voicemail system.

So, you need to Answer before you do anything else. Otherwise the PSTN switch will cheerfully go on its merry way while you're scrambling to route the call.

If you have loopstart (fxs_ls) then the best solution is use busydetect. On my loopstart line, it will always hangup in <4s if the other party hangs up. Of course, in my loopstart setup I'll still get the occasional blank voicemail if the other party hung up just as asterisk goes to voicemail. But, that's rather normal for most voicemail system.

[asterisk-users] 2-way MS-GSM support in Asterisk?
Hi all, I realise Asterisk can accept an MS-GSM (65 byte) RTP stream and convert it to GSM etc. but can Asterisk do the reverse (i.e. send *out* a 65 byte MS-GSM stream to a client?). I would like to use the MS-GSM codec for Microsoft clients - but at the moment I am getting garbled voice probably due to the 33 byte GSM RTP coming back from * to the client. Any advice on how this might be done would be welcome.

So, you need to Answer before you do anything else. Otherwise the PSTN switch will cheerfully go on its merry way while you're scrambling to route the call. I disagree about this, this is NOT line hunting, but CallForward No Answer. It's an ignorance from Optimums side to offer it as line hunting. IMHO, Regardless of how they market or implement line hunting, you'll still need to get your Asterisk box to answer the call before ringing your user's phone. Otherwise, their switch will just assume no answer and move on to ring the next line. From a user's POV, there are no perceptible differences between call forward on busy/no answer and linear line hunting. In linear hunting, the switch will try a line and move on if it's busy or there's no answer after a set time. Call forward on busy/no answer will also work pretty much in the same way, albeit more slowly. The main difference is in the provisioning: configuring a single hunt group vs individual call forwarding setting for each number.

[asterisk-users] weird undocumented extensions such as s-BUSY
I've seen several examples that use extensions such as; s-BUSY s-NOANSWER etc... It's more or less evident what they do, but I've searched for some FORMAL documentation everywhere and have found nothing. Do they work for anything else than "s-"? (I think I've seen other examples, but can't find them now) Are they standard in any way? What are the allowed values after the dash? In which version were they introduced? etc... (please no replies explaining me how "s-BUSY" matches when the start extension is set busy or trivial explanations like that) BarZ ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
