[asterisk-users] Setting CallerID UNKNOWN on an outgoing call
Hello, on my ISDN phone I can configure that on the next outgoing call, my telephone number should not be transmitted, instead it should be UNKNOWN. How can I configure Asterisk to do the same? Is this a feature/parameter of the driver (chan_capi) that I'm using? BTW: I'm using ISDN and Deutsche Telekom, if the provider makes any difference.

Re: [asterisk-users] No-mobo PC for USB Drives Enclosure?
As people have sugested the ATX power supplies can work without a mobo One thing to watch out for your setup is the actual ampere requirments for your disks i.e Your power supply provides 300W but this is partitioned to different voltages (+5, +12, etc) with different amp charecteristics Disks need 2 voltages. One for the logic (+5V) and one for the motors (+12V) and have different current requirments. Most disk (if not all) mention these ratings on the labels they have What you must do, is to see if by adding the current requirments seperatly for +5V and +12V, does not exceed the power supply's amp rating *for that voltage*, allowing also for a 15% -20% margin, as power consumption will be higher than the nomimal mentioned during disk startup (and you will be starting all your disks at the same time) Also make sure your box has sufficient cooling and there is some short of airflow over the disks, as the number 1 enemy of disks is high temperature and stacking so many disks in a box will create large amounts of heat. I would suggest you to get a good (aka expensive) 500W power supply and use 10-12 disks with it to avoid problems in the long run, Also keep in mind that MTBF specs of SATA disks does not make them an ideal candidate for 24/7/365 operations Stelios S.

ATX power supplies can be told to turn on by jumpering 2 pins on the motherboard power connector. From memory its the Green wire and one of the black wires, I usually use the next one inwards. Pinouts for the connector can be found via Google. If the power supply also has an external on/off switch you can jumper these pins and use the switch to turn the power on or off. Hope this helps, Thanks, that sounds like exactly what I was looking for. Is there any safety risk from jumpering that sensor? Like some kind of extra sensor, like voltage feedback, temperature or somesuch. If this works, it might point to a good way to reduce redundant Asterisk servers, which suck power, by just plugging the drive from each old server into the USB of a single server with a merged dialplan and a few other tweaks to point at several different mounted drives, rather than one per host/IP#.

I have over a half-dozen different SATA hard drives, each with different data (configs, voiceprompts, voicemail, CDRs, AGIs) for each one's different user groups and applications. Each one's load on the Asterisk server is small enough that one server can host them all, accessed easily over USB. But right now, each one is in its own external USB enclosure on a powered USB hub. I want to combine them all into a single large enclosure. I tried to use a single PC chassis, leaving the USB hub inside with the drives screwed into it, and powered from the PC power supply as internal drives on the proper drive power output plugs. But without a PC motherboard plugged into the power supply, too, the power supply won't start up to power the drives. I don't want to add a motherboard: that costs money, and sucks power, and is totally unnecessary. I just want to make this gutted PC chassis power my drives only, and have them connect to the complete PC sitting next to it via the single USB cable coming out of the drive chassis. How do I do that? Is it possible to use the extra, unused floppy power plugs to power more hard drives, with an adapter? Is it possible to split the existing hard drive power plugs to each power multiple drives? How many drives can I split each power plug into? The power supply is a cheap 300W unit, and the drives draw max under 9W each: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=311 . So can I power 25-30 of these drives, or at least 10? -- (C) Matthew Rubenstein ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- No virus found in this incoming message.

Yesterday evening, the telco technician disabled a feature they call NT1 on their side, which is supposed to be a protocol for line monitoring. We tested again and were unable to reproduce the call dropping problem. We established 15 calls to our private extensions to fill all 30 channels and had the calls running throughout the night. I just checked, and they were all still up and running. As it currently appears to me, this line monitoring feature caused the problems. Unfortunately I have been unable to find anything related to NT1 and line monitoring on the internet. I've been in touch with the telco (Telekom Austria) and they will try to find some information concerning this feature. I'll report back with more info as soon as possible. Once again, thank you very much for your support! I really hope this issue is solved (I've been searching for the cause for more than two weeks now).

The cost is negligible in light of the scope of your project. A pilot project will only give you a glimpse of what is required. You have to have a design that incorporates your eventual build out.

[asterisk-users] Understanding Asterisk
I am about to order some DIDs for my first install but I am unclear on how Asterisk will function in either scenario with the two options I can order with. One option is the DID has unlimited connections. Another option for the DID is that it has a maximum of two concurrent calls only. How does Asterisk understand the multiple calls that are coming in and behave for both scenarios?

Voicemail will be required along with sending voice mail attachments to email server. Flash panel for switchboard operator. Needs to be a distributed server design for redundancy and fail-over. Will need to be integrated into an existing PBX until each building is switched over to use the Asterisk servers. If calling 911 from a building among multiple buildings, how can EMS find that person based upon the call? What type of data line should be used in this setup? T1? The physical network will support QOS and the like, so that is not an issue. What type of design/setup do you recommend for this? How about server resources...ie...CPU, RAM, Disk space. How about backups? Does imaging work best if a server were to fail? Any thing else you can think of? If this is a project for your work and it's your first Asterisk deployment then definitely don't go the big bang approach in the way you've outlined. If you do you could well be out of that job in 6 months! The first thing I'd recommend you do is find 10 or 20 people who are suitable as early adopters. The set up a single Asterisk server and give the early adopters a SIP phone each thats in addition to their normal desk phone and ask them to see how they go using the SIP phones for calls to each other, external calls and whatever else would make sense. Then 6 months and a lot of learning/experience/frustration later you'll know whether to get answers to your original questions or not.

Re: [asterisk-users] Understanding Asterisk
Joseph The DIDs are tied to a circuit. The circuit has a ring order (ascending or descending or other...). So ordering the DIDs is just getting the numbers most of the time, attaching them to a circuit that is setup to handle the calls in a certain way. Andrew On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 9:57 AM, Joseph L.

Re: [asterisk-users] Understanding Asterisk
I assume you are going to with a VOIP provider. Essentially, you have one DID and any number of channels/ports. Typically, you pay per port with a minute charge. Some people give you unlimited ports but charge a higher per minute fee. In you case, where you currently have 3 lines, you would need 3 channels. This would provide three concurrent calls to be in place. Asterisk does not know anything about channels in this example. If 3 calls come in it answers three calls. If a 4th caller comes in , the VOIP prvovider will send the busy signal to the caller. Asterisk does not see it. Joseph L.

Re: [asterisk-users] Understanding Asterisk
Those buttons are call appearances. They function based on how the phone is configured and how you program asterisk to process calls. For example, you have a phone that is ext #101, you have 4 call appearances on the phone device. You receive 2 phone calls within the span of 2 seconds, 2 of the call appearances will light up. You can answer one , put that call on hold and answer another. There are countless variations on this theme. The scenario you described is correct. John Signorello ispbx.com cogoblue.com Joseph L.

Anyone out there use Druid and can comment on it? I found out it was once closed source by the fact that they announced that it is now opensource. Before that, I had never heard of it. Usually I pick up on chatter if something is good. I see there are only 19 threads in the forums and some are not all that great while some are great. I also see great marketing words but lack of documentation or comparisons. No chatter on the users list expect a post or two kind of worries me. I just want to know because I have tested many different platforms. The only things I have seen go from closed to opensource like this are things that didn't sell. Take Pingtel for instance. Anyways, if someone that has used Druid OSE can comment on it, I would be very grateful. I am four hours from NYC so there are two reasons for asking.

Re: [asterisk-users] Understanding Asterisk
You could do it that way but there is really no need. If you are getting DIDs you can just have them ring a certain phone, a group of phones, an application, a queue..

Essentially, you have one DID and any number of channels/ports. Typically, you pay per port with a minute charge. Some people give you unlimited ports but charge a higher per minute fee. In you case, where you currently have 3 lines, you would need 3 channels. This would provide three concurrent calls to be in place. Asterisk does not know anything about channels in this example. If 3 calls come in it answers three calls. If a 4th caller comes in , the VOIP prvovider will send the busy signal to the caller. Asterisk does not see it. Joseph L. Casale wrote: I am about to order some DIDs for my first install but I am unclear on how Asterisk will function in either scenario with the two options I can order with. One option is the DID has unlimited connections. Another option for the DID is that it has a maximum of two concurrent calls only. How does Asterisk understand the multiple calls that are coming in and behave for both scenarios? The phone system we are trying to replace and therefore replicate the functionality is that of a very base Meridian system with 3 lines.

[asterisk-users] Question about SS7
Hi, I have read about SS7 recently and learnt that it is a signalling protocol used in PSTN for call management, setup, etc. The thing that I don't understand is how SS7 plays a role in VOIP. When I make calls between landline and Asterisk via PSTN, I don't need to do anything with SS7. Is it because the SS7 signalling is already done by Asterisk already? From the prespective of implementing Asterisk, what kind of SS7 support is needed? Is SS7 something needs to be concerned about when using Asterisk with T1/E1? I hope someone can help me to clearify these doubts that I am having.

Re: [asterisk-users] Question about SS7
SS7 does NOT play a roll in VoIP. The SS7 signaling that you are describing is not really SS7 but signaling over a PRI using ISDN that your provider uses to exchange information via SS7 to the other carriers. To be blunt and I do not mean to be condescending in any way, but, if you are using Asterisk and do not know what SS7 is, you don't need to worry about it.

For example, if sh is linked to bash and you call it, bash drops some of its features to more closely match sh. Could it be that msmtp acts the same way, and you need to test that behavior (calling it as sendmail)? -- Tilghman ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- Jose Flores Galicia [EMAIL PROTECTED] BriefCode Code Based Training ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk for larg

Are you asking if Asterisk has a built-in clustering mechanism somewhere in its own application stack? The answer is no. Otherwise, the answer to how to distribute Asterisk is to ... distribute Asterisk. No, seriously; split up the users according to multiple servers and/or assign them dynamically, route using a SIP proxy functioning as a load balancer, and other things you do when setting up some sort of farm without extensive built-in parallelisation options. -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel: (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 Mobile : (+1) (706) 338-8599 ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] Friday May 16th @1 Noon EDT: VoIP Users Conference is about Click 2 Call
Basic info site: http://VoipUsersConference.org Hi, What if you could connect people or businesses without having them require hardware or software of any kind? I've always been interested in this idea and now it's a reality with several choices to investigate. We've spoken to Yusuf Motiwala, TringMe's CEO before on a call. TringMe has recently announced an expanded system and API to make unified messaging something anyone with asterisk can accomplish. Here's the latest on what TringMe is up to: http://blog.tringme.com/tringme-announces-the-availability-of-mobilevoip-application/ Ted Gibson of 1EZPhone.com has also been on previous calls and they too are planning on offering solutions in this area. http://1ezphone.com/ is where you see what they're up to. Friday's call would be a good place to ask any questions you may have about C2C (Click to Call), beginning with Why do we care? and moving forward with How can we implement it?
