[asterisk-users] Call was hangup when LIMIT_WARNING_FILE was playing

2007-02-24 Thread Charles Wang

Dear All,

I tried to use 'L' option on my dial command.
I set the x to 65000(65 seconds), y to 6(60 seconds), z to
3(30 seconds).

The max calltime should be 65 seconds, and it will play beep.gsm at
60 seconds left. And repeat the beep at 30 seconds left.

But the call will be hangup by system at 60 seconds left.
In another word, when it plays warning file, the call will be hangup.
The answeredtime is only 5 seconds.

Can anybody give me an idea for it?

*** extensions.conf ***

exten= _+[1-9].,1,SetCallerID()
exten= _+[1-9].,2,Set(LIMIT_WARNING_FILE=beep)

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk and Cisco PRI gateway config

2007-02-24 Thread Pavel Jezek

quite OT:
do you have some info, about what platforms supports qsig decode? I 
found, that first supported in 12.4.(9)T, but I don't know, if only on 
28xx or also in older routers (like 3660) with NM-HDV-E1...
and what is the name for qsig decode feature? I compare features in two 
ci$co firmwares (12.4.9T vs. 12.4.4T) using feature navigator, but 
cannot find anything about new feature like qsig decode support

Re: [asterisk-users] peer-to-peer RTP trouble in SIP

2007-02-24 Thread Olle E Johansson


23 feb 2007 kl. 09.52 skrev Michiel van Baak:


Hey,

We have asterisk 1.2.4 (old I know) with a couple of snom
phones, a couple of grandstream phones and around 65 philips
dect stations.
Now the problem:
All calls do peer to peer RTP except the calls from dect
station to dect station.
snom to dect or dect to snom do peer to peer.
So the sip config looks fine because all the 'static
deskphones' honor the REINVITE and start talking to
eachother.
Our supplier told us they dont send SDP with the INVITE. Can
this be the problem causing dect to dect calls to always use
asterisk in the RTP path ?


If they do not send SDP with the INVITE there will be no
media at all in the call. Very simple.

Can be that they do not support re-invites. If so, you should
see an error message in the SIP communication.

23 feb 2007 kl. 12.42 skrev Steve Davies:


Hi,

In older versions of asterisk I used to be able to use
incominglimit=1 to effectively disable call waiting on a specific
SIP channel (Where broken phones do not allow this on the handset
itself)




In 1.2.x this became call-limit=1, but this prevents the phone from
opening a 2nd line in order to transfer a call using attended
transfer. The WiKi suggests using SetGroup() etc, but this does not
cater for the case where you are Dialling several different phones
simultaneously.


You can still set one call-limit for the user and another for the
peer. The peer call-limit would be used to prevent call waiting
and the user limit could be set to a reasonable level so the phone
can do transfers.


I _could_ dial a whole bunch of Local channels, each of which checked
for an extension usage count, but the additional load and complexity
in the dialplan seems a bit over-the-top to me, especially when there
used to be a one-line solution to this.

I also considered separate user and peer sections in sip.conf, but the
hosts are dynamic, and there is no way to link the IP address of the
peer to the user.


Why is that an issue? The user authenticates on the incoming call,
no IP address is needed since the auth is done on the From: header.

Hi,
Just need to confirm whether dial() command provided options

Yes, Asterisk is a multiprotocol Open Source PBX. Those
functions work in all channels that support DTMF.

I've seen phones where using the * in a dial string doesn't work,
but during the call as DTMF it should work properly.

I thought it might be useful to be able to ask Asterisk for the
current SIP CSeq through the Manager API in order to send your
own SIP messages during a call outside of Asterisk (for AOC,
whatever). Each time you ask for the CSeq Asterisk should  
increment

the value so it does not get out of sync.
Anyone sharing my opinion? We might open a feature request.

We're trying to keep the Asterisk architecture multiprotocol and do
things in a uniform way from the dialplan.

Things like this would certainly break that, since it is very SIP-
specific.
Better to implement needed functionality in Asterisk.

Thanks for you reply. That's basically what you have said more
than once on the bug tracker. :)
Thanks. Then I know that at least one person has read and  
understood :-)

(Sorry, but sometimes it feels like being alone out there on the
tracker...)


:)


On the other hand people are waiting for quick solutions to
blinking Snom lights and AOC without really caring for the
whole picture.


We do have a lot of support for blinking lamps - for devices,
conferences, parking lots and now in trunk for anything.


People refrain from using the trunk in a production environment.
And as I can remember even the trunk does not address the
Snom pickup problem. That's on of the things bristuff is popular
for.

...and they should NOT use trunk in production. I was just giving
some hints on where we are going :-) Marketing, you know.

The call pickup problem is something I've been working on, but it
hasn't been prioritized by any customer, so I haven't been able to
focus on it for much time.




AOC is a very european thing and I keep shouting about it when
I'm in Huntsville, so they're aware of the problem.


Great. :)
For a european company it's like this: We have AOC now, can we
have that with Asterisk? No. (Or at least not very easily, eg.
without a patch) But you probably know that.


Make sure Digium sales are aware of the need of AOC support
in Europe.


There are a few patches for AOC support in the bug tracker, please
review them. I know SNOM has some proprietary extensions
for AOC, but what's the state on other devices?


Snom has this page in their Wiki:
http://www.snom.com/wiki/index.php/Advice_of_charge_(AOC)_in_SIP
But they don't really say whether they actually use this in their
phones or if it's more like a working draft.

Apart from
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-garcia-sipping-etsi-ngn-p- 
headers-00#section-4.1

is there any other standard that I should be aware of?

I have no idea. THanks for the pointer.

Anyone that knows about the state of AOC in non-SNOM SIP phones?
Other implementations of AOC in SIP? What about SIP/IMS ?

It should do for basic things (for testing). If you want to use
compressed voice-over-IP calls and such, you'll see the CPU limitation
biting.

BTW: please use a meaningful subject for your messages. It helps getting
them answered more effectively. A useful subject line for this message
could have been: asterisk minimal requirements or is PII 300MHz

Well, yes. That option does not exist in 1.2, it's someting I have

[asterisk-users] Analogue Phone Problems on a TDM11B

2007-02-24 Thread --[ UxBoD ]--
Hi,

I received my shiny card this morning but I am having problems getting a 
analogue phone to work. In zapata.conf I have :-

Code:
[channels]
usecallerid=no
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=no
threewaycalling=no
transfer=no
echocancel=yes
echotraining=yes
immediate=no
context=internal
signalling=fxo_ks
channel = 1
context=incoming
signalling=fxs_ks
channel = 4


and for my extensions.conf I have :-

Code:

[incoming]
exten = s,1,GoToIfTime(17:00-09:00\mon-fri\*\*?outofhours|s,1)
exten = s,2,GoToIfTime(*\sat-sun\*\*?outofhours|s,1)
exten = s,3,Answer()
exten = s,4,Dial(Zap/1,20)
exten = s,5,Playback(cybermog)
exten = s,6,VoiceMail([EMAIL PROTECTED],s)
exten = s,7,Hangup()

[outofhours]
exten = s,1,Answer()
exten = s,2,Playback(cybermog)
exten = s,3,VoiceMail([EMAIL PROTECTED],s)
exten = s,4,Hangup()

[internal]
include = outbound-local

[outbound-local]
exten = _9NXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:1})
exten = _9NXX,2,Congestion()
exten = _9NXX,102,Congestion()


What happens is that if I dial the FXO module, it picks up the call and fails 
to pass it to the analogue (zap/1) phone. If I just try picking up the analogue 
receiver the phone just rings and rings.

What have I done wrong ?

Subject: [asterisk-users] dial a pager and enter DTMF

Probably just a simple syntax issue, but does anyone know how to dial a
number and the once phone has been answered, play DTMF tones and then
disconnect. I am trying to use this for page notification.

Ive been trying the following string with out luck:

exten = s,2,Dial(SIP/TelaSip-gw4/5198881212|D(12345678)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[asterisk-users] To use asterisk or proprietary hardware, that is the question

2007-02-24 Thread shadowym

 
Hi there,

Here is my dilema.  I have a new small business customer that wants me to
put in a VoIP phone system for them.  Based on their requirements, I have
determined that it needs to be a set it and forget it type of thing like a
lot of small business proprietary systems.  

At the same time they would like to be able to do minor dial plan changes
themselves so I have determine that a GUI like FreePBX or similar
alternative (free or commercial) is appropriate.

I have some concerns about using Asterisk for this. As much as I am in
support of the whole Asterisk revolution, I just do not feel confident
enough in Asterisk on a Hard Drive as a set it and forget it setup running
month after month, year after year.  I am hoping someone can convince me
otherwise.  I'm concerned about hard drive corruptions/failures, memory
leaks, software bugs etc.  I have the budget to buy good quality hardware so
if I was to go with Asterisk I would go industrial grade fanless computer,
power conditioned UPS etc.  I am not concerned about the reliability of most
of the hardware.  It's the hard drive and the software that runs on it that
worries me.  I will obviously use a mature stable Asterisk release and the
most stable Linux version which I won't bother naming just to keep the
discussion focussed.

I have other Asterisk installs that went well but they were in environments
where there were IT people around who were prepared to deal with some Linux
administration and I could provide ongoing support for more major things.
That is not the case here.  Some of those sites have been running for months
untouched, some needed some updates and reboots for various issues.  I don't
think this customer would look very favorably on me having to come in and
add patches or have to reboot once a month or whatever.  Their expection is
the same as they would have with any other phone system that mounts on the
wall and just works for years.  I think that is a reasonable expectation.

I am looking at putting in an Epygi proprietary VoIP system in instead.  It
is mostly hardware based although apparently runs Linux.  It has a GUI, is
supposedly plug and play most of the time, and most importantly, does not
use a Hard Drive.  I have heard good things about them so for arguments
sake, let's assume voice quality, features, and the enduser experience are
approximately the same as using an Asterisk/Analog FXO Card/hardware echo
cancel solution.  Flexibility, scalability, upgradeability are non-issues
because the requirements are fixed.  The Eqygi will end up costing a few
hundred dollars more but for arguments sake let's assume cost's are
approximately the same.

Astlinux would work except it does not currently meet some key requirements
(GUI, Sangoma Analog card support).  Otherwise it would be a GREAT
distribution for set it and forget it running without a Hard Drive IMHO.

Anyways, I am hoping I can get enough positive feedback about set it and
forget it experiences to convince me to use Asterisk/FreePBX instead of a
more proprietary VoIP solution.  Either way I will be using the same SIP
phones so that is a non-issue as well.

Basic Requirements are as follows:
Wall Mount
*6 local network SIP extensions
*4 remote SIP extension over ADSL or cable
*4 incoming analog phone lines in a hunt group
*features such as auto attendant, voicemail to email, forward to pager for
after hours emergency etc.  Nothing too special

Any help, advice, experiences etc. would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [asterisk-users] Fax with T.38

2007-02-24 Thread Jbebeau
Hi Bill,

I'm in exactly the same boat with T.38 and OpenPBX.  I too think the Cisco-T.38 
Gateway is the most practical at this moment.  Where are you on testing this 
and can you share the 3660 config?  In researching the CIsco/voice, there is a 
TON of hardware options you need, or so it seems.

Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] Fax with T.38

 Ray,
 
 I have been playing with OpenPBX.  My core servers are Asterisk so I was 
 playing around with their T38Gateway application.  Long story short - I can 
 get the ATA (behind NAT) to talk T38 to the rxfax app on an OpenPBX server 
 but the gateway feature of that product is still under development so I was 
 sending IAX calls to it and it would try to talk T38 to my ATA (behind NAT or 
 public IP) and eventually the call would fail.  Clearly T38 was working 
 though, debug output was full of T38 talk.  However the wiki clearly states 
 it's experimental still.
 
 I personally have decided to go with a 2nd PRI port to a 3660 I have on hand 
 that will do T38 SIP.  I am going to set that up to talk to * 1.4.0 and do 
 T38 pass through.  I to will be doing NAT for the ATAs so...hopefully it will 
 work.  We shall see.
 
 So my call flow will be
 
 PRI - Asterisk 1.2.x
 Out the 2nd PRI to the 3660
 3660 dial-peer, with T38 fax settings talk SIP to Asterisk 1.4.x then t38 
 pass through to my ATA.
 
 I have the 3660 there to take the call via TDM and convert to T38.  I only 
 have a single PRI which is why I don't want to have to purchase other lines 
 dedicated to a T38 faxserver, and this will give me the ability to use my 
 DIDs already assigned.
 
 That's how I plan to set it up.
 
 Bill

  A T.38 fax call typically begins as a normal voice media call. The 
  call then dynamically switches over T.38 image media on detection of fax 
  handshake tones.  The dynamic modification of session from audio to 
  image is accomplished through SIP RE-INVITE messages. I would imagine 
  canreinvite= flag controls if an end-point is allowed to send/recv 
  RE-INVITE to/from Asterisk. If so, you'll need to set it to yes for T.38 
  to work.

Re: [asterisk-users] To use asterisk or proprietary hardware, that is the question

2007-02-24 Thread Matt

If the harddrive is the only thing you are concerned about... dont' be.

Many proprietary phone systems use hard drives.Toshiba, Samsung, and
Nortel to name a few run some of their features off hard drives.   We had a
Nortell system some years ago that ran the entire ACD system off a hard
disk.   Glad we got rid of that thing before the hard drive died!  That was
always a fear of mine...

Now.. back to your issue.
Setup a crontab to restart asterisk every night.   Use a version of asterisk
you know well (I like 1.2.6) and know is stable.Finally, setup RAID-5 on
the hard drives.  That way if one dies, you can still replace it without
data loss.   You aren't going to suffer corruption of anything, and if
somehow you DO get corruption of a hard disk, I don't see why that couldn't
happen to the flash of a fanless system, or a proprietary system.

What the heck are you doing that you need fanless... and a system that can
never have any maintence, anyway?Even a Nortel or Samsung may need
maintence from time to time.

We take a different approach.  We don't want a GUI.  We don't want

needed.  Once they understand that we can do that without a service 
call, they are quite receptive to the idea.


Conventional PBXs come with service agreements so customers are used 
to that but surprised at the low cost from you.




I have some concerns about using Asterisk for this. As much as I am in
support of the whole Asterisk revolution, I just do not feel confident
enough in Asterisk on a Hard Drive as a set it and forget it setup running
month after month, year after year.  I am hoping someone can convince me
otherwise.


Hard drives are reliable.  But I have similar feelings so we are 
working on a flash solution.  Were running it beta in our office 
right now. It only uses the hard drive for daily voicemail, boots 
from flash and runs from RAM.



I'm concerned about hard drive corruptions/failures, memory
leaks, software bugs etc.


Conventional systems have bugs too.


 I have the budget to buy good quality hardware so
if I was to go with Asterisk I would go industrial grade fanless computer,
power conditioned UPS etc.


You don't really need fanless.  Make it cheap enough that it can 
easily be replaced.  Like a $500 PC.



I am not concerned about the reliability of most
of the hardware.  It's the hard drive and the software that runs on it that
worries me.  I will obviously use a mature stable Asterisk release and the
most stable Linux version which I won't bother naming just to keep the
discussion focussed.


Asterisk is pretty darn stable.



I have other Asterisk installs that went well but they were in environments
where there were IT people around who were prepared to deal with some Linux
administration and I could provide ongoing support for more major things.
That is not the case here.  Some of those sites have been running for months
untouched, some needed some updates and reboots for various issues.  I don't
think this customer would look very favorably on me having to come in and
add patches or have to reboot once a month or whatever.


So do it from home.  And how often do you really need to upgrade a 
minimal  read only flash based system with no dev tools running from 
RAM?  Does the latest kernel really matter?



  Their expection is
the same as they would have with any other phone system that mounts on the
wall and just works for years.  I think that is a reasonable expectation.


Agreed.  And if it breaks, you replace it quickly and at a low cost.


I am looking at putting in an Epygi proprietary VoIP system in instead.  It
is mostly hardware based although apparently runs Linux.  It has a GUI, is
supposedly plug and play most of the time, and most importantly, does not
use a Hard Drive.  I have heard good things about them so for arguments
sake, let's assume voice quality, features, and the enduser experience are
approximately the same as using an Asterisk/Analog FXO Card/hardware echo
cancel solution.  Flexibility, scalability, upgradeability are non-issues
because the requirements are fixed.  The Eqygi will end up costing a few
hundred dollars more but for arguments sake let's assume cost's are
approximately the same.


Are you selling them service or passing them off to someone 
else?   Who will set up and support Egypi?  If you are servicing them 
then that is one more system that you have to learn, stock and 
support.  If you don't stock it, can they afford to be down for a day 
or longer waiting for a replacement?



Astlinux would work except it does not currently meet some key requirements
(GUI, Sangoma Analog card support).  Otherwise it would be a GREAT
distribution for set it and forget it running without a Hard Drive IMHO.

Anyways, I am hoping I can get enough positive feedback about set it and

Agreed.  Monitor yes.But why let the system run.. only to find out it is
going to go down after being up for 100 days?Yes, it should be able to
run continually with no issues, but unfortunately asterisk seems to have
memory leaks.  1.2.6 is the only one we've found that will run and run and
run.   Our phone system we don't restart, but our voip switches restart
nightly because we can't have them go down.. so a 'restart when convenient'
once a day is protective.

RE: [asterisk-users] Fax with T.38

2007-02-24 Thread Bill Gibbs
I am waiting for the powers that be to get a dual port PRI card at this time.

I think a dial-peer will only need to look similar to this on the Cisco:

dial-peer voice 10 voip
 destination-pattern WHATEVER
 session protocol sipv2
 session target ipv4:openpbx ip
 dtmf-relay sip-notify rtp-nte
 fax protocol t38 ls-redundancy 0 hs-redundancy 0 fallback cisco


Since that's basically what you need to do voice, all this adds is the T38 line.

Hi Bill,

I'm in exactly the same boat with T.38 and OpenPBX.  I too think the Cisco-T.38 
Gateway is the most practical at this moment.  Where are you on testing this 
and can you share the 3660 config?  In researching the CIsco/voice, there is a 
TON of hardware options you need, or so it seems.

Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] Fax with T.38

 Ray,
 
 I have been playing with OpenPBX.  My core servers are Asterisk so I was 
 playing around with their T38Gateway application.  Long story short - I can 
 get the ATA (behind NAT) to talk T38 to the rxfax app on an OpenPBX server 
 but the gateway feature of that product is still under development so I was 
 sending IAX calls to it and it would try to talk T38 to my ATA (behind NAT or 
 public IP) and eventually the call would fail.  Clearly T38 was working 
 though, debug output was full of T38 talk.  However the wiki clearly states 
 it's experimental still.
 
 I personally have decided to go with a 2nd PRI port to a 3660 I have on hand 
 that will do T38 SIP.  I am going to set that up to talk to * 1.4.0 and do 
 T38 pass through.  I to will be doing NAT for the ATAs so...hopefully it will 
 work.  We shall see.
 
 So my call flow will be
 
 PRI - Asterisk 1.2.x
 Out the 2nd PRI to the 3660
 3660 dial-peer, with T38 fax settings talk SIP to Asterisk 1.4.x then t38 
 pass through to my ATA.
 
 I have the 3660 there to take the call via TDM and convert to T38.  I only 
 have a single PRI which is why I don't want to have to purchase other lines 
 dedicated to a T38 faxserver, and this will give me the ability to use my 
 DIDs already assigned.
 
 That's how I plan to set it up.
 
 Bill

 Could anybody give me an authoritative answer on whether Asterisk can

 and would love to get T.38 going but have had no luck so far.  The

 I have seen on this list only 2 weeks or so ago:

 This suggests that T.38 does *NOT* work behind NAT?  So, can anybody

 trying to get T.38 going with NAT?  Please put me out of my misery! :)

Ive been trying the following string with out luck:

I think what you are missing is the timeout parameter.

The dial command is... 


Dial(type/identifier, timeout, options)

So you would want something like:
   exten = s,2,Dial(SIP/TelaSip-gw4/5198881212|120|D(12345678))
which would give you a two minute timeout

Also, you are indeed missing a right paren on the end, which I added in 
the line above.

[asterisk-users] 1.4.0 spews garbage on CLI, crashes

2007-02-24 Thread Scott Webster

Hi, I just installed asterisk 1.4.0 on my mac.  I compiled from source
with no issues.  I installed the sample config files, and basically
just added a register line to sip.conf (to register with a Free World
Dialup account).

Then I called my asterisk system from a different computer (using
x-lite softphone on windows xp, registered to an ekiga.net account).

Asterisk answers, and I can hear the prompts etc.  However, after a
while, (regardless of what I do with the demo menu options) asterisk
starts spewing garbage to the console, then some error messages, then
eventually dies.

Here is a condensed output:

Probably just a simple syntax issue, but does anyone know how to dial a

Ive been trying the following string with out luck:

exten = s,2,Dial(SIP/TelaSip-gw4/5198881212|D(12345678)


Indeed simply syntax issueS.  First, the above is missing a right 
parenthesis as others pointed out.  Second, you need to leave a blank 
timeout field if you don't use timeout.  Third, check the syntax to call 
TelaSip-gw4; some providers use [EMAIL PROTECTED] to specify number 
5198881212. So


Dial(SIP/TelaSip-gw4/5198881212,,D(12345678))

or

Dial(SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],,D(12345678))

I did a little test and D() tag sent DTMF correctly so it's the right tool 
for you.  Hope this helps.
