You can get incoming numbers from voipon.co.uk and a load of other companies
in the UK... 0800 is free for them to ring but you have to pay for the call,
you can also get regional numbers which are charged as a local call for them
- stay away from 070 numbers though.

[asterisk-users] AGI defunct processes + GSM Playback - HELP!

2008-09-29 Thread Hakan C
 Hello.
I've just installed
asterisk-1.4.21.2
zaptel-1.4.12.1
chan_ss7-1.0.10
libpri-1.4.7

I am using Sangoma A104 card with wanpipe-3.2.7.1 drivers.
My OS: Ubuntu 8.04 Server
Kernel: 2.6.24-16-server

I am getting a choppy GSM playback and too many defunct AGI processes when
channel closes.
i am using Perl or PHP, also 'agi-test.agi' going to defunct too...

I was able to playback GSM files and running AGI with older version of
Asterisk and Zaptel very well.
I've just upgraded my servers to latest versions but it's too buggy now.

Any ideas?

As far as call charges are concerned, there is no such thing as local or 
long-distance in the UK now, and hadn't been for many years. We now have 
geographic and non geographic numbers. (Non geographics are sometimes 
called NGNs)

The Geographics start 01 or 02 and are what they imply - mapped to a 
particular geographic area. (or are supposed to as some are ported into 
VoIP and moved) These numbers are relatively low cost to call and often 
can be called for free out of inclusive minutes or other deals with your 
phone company.

NGNs include freephone numbers (aka toll-free in the US) - starting 0800, 
0808 or 0500.

NGNs can also be revenue generating - they are usually free to assign and 
maintain, but cost the caller more than calling a Geographic number and 
the terminating operator generates revenue from the call. These numbers 
typically start 084 or 087. The 087's generating more revenue than 084, 
and cost more to the caller. (There are other ranges of premium numbers - 
09 and 070, but we'll not go there)

So - If you want your friends to call you for free, then why not just 
allocate then a SIP account on your own system, then get them to run a 
softphone, or buy a hard-phone and then they can connect up?

Failing that, they can get a SIP account with a multitude of UK (and 
European) based operators and make calls - sometimes for free, sometimes 
for a small per minute charge.

And failing all that - because they don't have/want technology, you can 
get an account with one of these operators and terminate it in your own 
SIP/IAX hardware, then they can call you for the price of a standard UK 
geographic number - which may be free for them, depending on the package 
they have with their phone company.

A final thing to note, there is a new range of non-geographic numbers in 
the UK which start 03. These cost the same to call as 01 and 02 numbers 
(or should), so you could allocate one of these and have it terminated on 
your own SIP/IAX account.

People to do it via (other than me - I can't take US currency, but drop an 
email if interested anyway) in no particular order: www.gradwell.com, 
www.voiptalk.co.uk, www.voipon.co.uk, www.voip.co.uk, www.aql.co.uk and a 
few others.

Hope this helps!

Gordon

[asterisk-users] Creating Asterisk Binary Package

What system, specifically?

With what libraries installed? Which of them are installed on the target
system?

rpm, deb and such automate much of the process. Chances are that there
is already an existing such binary package for your distribution. Just
grab it, fix it, and rebuild (and fix, and rebuild, and deploy, and fix
and rebuild, etc.)

Just copy the src folder and do `make install` on each machine?
Then tar and copy the /etc/asterisk folder if config is important too.

[asterisk-users] ATA for large networks

2008-09-29 Thread Vieri
Hi,

I would like to know if someone can suggest a multi-port ATA worth buying (at 
least 8 ports).

I have around 380 analog phones to convert to SIP extensions. So I need quite a 
few ATAs but they need to be enterprise-grade, ie. they need to be reliable 
and stable.

I bought and have been using 11 Grandstream GXW4008 (8-port FXS ATA) in a 
production environment and have been experiencing stability and quality issues 
which are not acceptable in a large company.

I chose Grandstream because:

- it was a cheap way to start
- I thought their products were stable and reliable because I had already heard 
their brand name

So since my experience with 11 Grandstream GXW4008 has been overall negative (I 
need to reboot the devices too often!), I'd like to know if someone could help 
me decide what brand/model to buy.

I would also need to find these products in Europe (or at least deliverable 
there).

I've been considering a few products but I don't know if they are reliable:

TopGate TG8048 (48 FXS)
Soundwin S2400 (24 FXS)

In other words, I'd really appreciate feedback from voip administrators (not 
from resellers) who have had experience testing their devices and are happy 
with them.

Thanks,

Vieri

[asterisk-users] identify/find a channel to pick it up

2008-09-29 Thread Stefan Schmidt
hello,

i want to build a pickup extension in a multiuser system, which means
there are several different numbers which same extensions and so on. the
phonenumbers are identified only with their ID in the database like
+123- where after the - is the extension.

the normal pickup function works with [EMAIL PROTECTED] but the problem
i have is that i dont know the extension. so i could read out every
possible extension from the db and build a pickupstring, but i think
this would kill the system (if there are more than 200 extension on a
number). this is for a global pickup function to pickup the next ringing
channel for that number.

the other way is that i could find the right channel, so i want to
search for every channel which have the state ringing and the extension
+123-... or is there something like a wildcard i can use for pickup like
+123*


sorry for my bad english, i hope its understandable what i mean.

best regards

steve smith

Another way is after running ./configure 
--prefix=/your_prefered_layout and make, when running the make 
install command set the DESTDIR prefix to something like ~/asterisk and 
it will install everything under that prefix.

e.g $ make DESTDIR=$HOME/asterisk install
You can then make a tarball of the hierarchy from within the DESTDIR 
root and extract it into the right place (i.e. /) of any other host.

Of course all this assumes:

1. you know what you are doing ;-)
2. your hosts are all using the same versions of kernels/libraries etc...

 ...

 exten = 113,1,Macro(stdexten,119,${GUEST},redfish)

Err, sorry.  Typo.  That was:

exten = 119,1,Macro(stdexten,119,${GUEST},redfish)
exten = 119,n,Goto(s,exten)


-Philip


 So I don't get this at all.  If I dial 208345, then enter '119' as 
 the extension, it rings on a few phones (including a Xlite softphone) 
 and if I pick up on any of those, I get one-way voice (I can hear the 
 caller but they can't hear me).

 If I enter '113' as the extension, it rings on two SPA-942's (one of 
 which is the same as above, just a different line presentation)... and 
 if I answer, then I get two-way voice!  Only difference is the Monitor() 
 statement.

 I'm starting to suspect it's a CODEC issue in Asterisk, though (a) why 
 Asterisk would need to transcode a call between two uLaw endpoints, I 
 don't know... and (b) why is it staying in the Media path at all?

 I have the SIP peer that the calls come in on as:

 [sip-proxy]
 ...
 type=peer
 nat=no
 canreinvite=no
 reinvite=no

 Anyone know why the Monitor() would change the duplex(ity) of the audio 
 stream?  I'm baffled (no pun intended).  And is there any debugging I 
 can turn on to reveal CODEC behavior that might differ from 113 and 119?

 Thanks,

 -Philip

That's because we have almost 400 analog phones already wired in our building 
(which is very large). So we need to take advantage of the wiring.

Also, if we were to convert to an all-IP phone system (non-ATA), we would need 
to buy more ethernet switches (currently they're all full) and tunnel cables 
thtough ceilings and walls. In other words, it would cost a lot more than to 
simply buy ATAs. What I'm looking for however are STABLE, RELIABLE ATAs...

Thanks for the feedback,

[asterisk-users] Knowing incoming call technology and channel

2008-09-29 Thread Olivier
Hi,

I've read www.voip-info.org but couldn't find the answer I'm after.

In diaplan, how can you know the technology and channel of an incoming call
?
I was thinking of something like :

[incoming]
exten = _,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=00${CALLERIDNUM})
exten = _,2,NoOp(This call comes from ${CHANNELTYPE})
exten = _,3,NoOp(This call comes from ${CHANNELNO})
exten = _,4,NoOp(Said differently this call comes from
${CHANNELTYPE}/${CHANNELNO})


My ultimate goal is to have this working with Zaptel channels (from a
bristuffed Asterisk).

 That's because we have almost 400 analog phones already wired in our

 Also, if we were to convert to an all-IP phone system (non-ATA), we would
 need to buy more ethernet switches (currently they're all full) and tunnel
 cables thtough ceilings and walls. In other words, it would cost a lot more
 than to simply buy ATAs. What I'm looking for however are STABLE, RELIABLE

You can actually buy IP Phones that have an Ethernet switch incorporated in
them
and take advantage of your existing cabling infrastructure with no need for
new switches etc.

I have only used Cisco 188 ATA without any troubles at all but those only
have 2 ports and
not applicable for your situation.

Otherwise you can try Software SIP Phones if everyone is using a PC

i have two asterisk boxes connected to each other via iax trunk.

all is working fine, only if one extension cancles the call during ringing, the 
far end extension
still rings three times until call is also terminated (both extensions are 
connected via SIP)

this does not happen after successfull call setup, the sip BYE is processed 
correctly.

Any ideas, what i forgot to configure ?!

 Can anyone elaborate a bit PtP or PtmP respective advantages ?

With analog phone lines you can have multiple handsets share the same
physical line. That is: multiple FXSs and one FXS. Only one talk at a
time.

PtMP is an attempt to preserve that feature: multiple CPE units can
share the same physical connection to a network unit. Only up to two
talks at a time. 

Another nice feature of analog handsets is that they are powered from
the FXS. Likewise BRI phones can be powered from the network unit.

Those two features are quite nice when your equipment is a simple phone.
They are mostly useless for a PBX: your PBX will have an independent
power source anyway. And will most likely want to handle all the line by
itself.

The problem is that those features come with a price tag of complexity.
For instance, many providers want to save power and hence drop the (even
layer 1) connection to a ptmp bri cpe unit because it is probably an
isdn phone that takes some precious power (some 25V, IIRC). As a result,
your PBX cannot really tell if the red alert it has is faked or not.

That's not true, although multipoint sounds better than just
one point. :-)

PtMP: Usually you connect your devices (phones etc.) directly
to the line (although you could connect a PBX). Each of the phones
has a totally different number. PtMP is what home users get unless
they request something else.

PtP: You connect just one device which is your PBX. You get a
block of numbers (xx / xxx /  / ...). The nice thing is
that you can easily map these external DID numbers to internal
extensions, i.e. ..xx - xx
More expensive than PtMP.

btw: _PRI_ is always PtP.

Re: [asterisk-users] OT - Avantages of ISDN PtP and PtmP

2008-09-29 Thread Steve Davies
2008/9/29 Olivier [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 Hi,

 Reading  http://www.asteriskguru.com/tutorials/bri.html , it seems PtP is
 the way to connect businesses but if you read
 http://public.swbell.net/ISDN/connect.html you would think the opposite.

 Can anyone elaborate a bit PtP or PtmP respective advantages ?


IMHO:

PtMP should only be used if you have Multiple devices connected to
your ISDN (Hence the Multiple part in its name) - This setup means
that for each outgoing call, the calling device has to negotiate
almost from scratch, access to a B-channel, and every inbound call is
sent (broadcast) to every connected device to give it the chance to
grab it. This is an almost compeletly chaotic and stateless
environment (I know, of course there IS state, just a lot less of it).

PtP on the other hand is stateful - The one device negotiates a
connection when it comes up, and monitors the line constantly, so it
knows if (for example) the line goes down. Calls in both directions
are sent to the one known endpoint, directly addressed to a B-channel
that it already knows should be available.

Also, if a call comes in to an unrecognised DDI/address, PtMP can only
time-out (no-one grabs the call) where PtP can dynamically know that
the call is rejected and handle it properly

For 99% of Asterisk installs, where Asterisk is managing/routing all
calls on a line, PtP is going to be the right choice.

Cheers,
Steve

 That's not true, although multipoint sounds better than just
 one point. :-)


From  http://public.swbell.net/ISDN/connect.html :

If you only intend to connect a single device/application to your ISDN
line, then you only need the point-to-point configuration. With the
point-to-point configuration you are assigned a single phone number per ISDN
line (not one for each B-channel). If you intend to connect multiple
devices/applications, then you need the multipoint configuration. With
multipoint configuration you are assigned a phone number for each device
connected.

You'll probably want to use FXS channel banks rather than an ATA.  At 
that kind of scale, I'd call Rhino or Xorcom and have them make the 
recommendation.  You will still end up with a large number of devices 
and likely several asterisk servers to coordinate all of this.  When you 
really look at the numbers, finding a way to use IP phones may not be 
that much more than the overall hardware cost involved to do this right 
with analog lines.

The verbosity will be at least as high as the last time you entered the 
CLI.  For example if two times ago, you entered with 5 v's then entered 
the last time with 1 v, you will still be at 5 v's.

You can change this behavior using:

CLIcore set verbose X   where X is the new level you want (2, 3 ...)


Hope that makes sense.

Re: [asterisk-users] Problem with pickup extension *8 from features.conf using IAX

Hello Cosmin,

sure. Let us know if you find any solution.

Hello and thank you for replyes.

Eric, I looked for it on the mailing list and google and
did not find something relevant to be 100% sure that this feature is
not supported.

Some information clare I founded in http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+callgroups+and+pickupgroupswhere
it says that for IAX channels I can use the pickup feature from
features.conf.

I was looking for an anser to understand if this is
supported or not, not to lose more time trying to make it work.

Shazaum , thank you for your anser, the application Pickup
works ok. 
My problem is that this application issued from the dial-plan is
directed pickup, thos means that I have to know the exten that is 
ringing.

I have difficulties because I an using call queues and the channel is
not anymore only the exten that is ringing, and if I want to pikup a
call that is comming from a queue, I cannot do this with app Pickup(at
least I did not find any way to do this--any help from somebody who did
is apreciated.)

Also, since IAX is developed by asterisk, is strange that
for SIP there is support, and for IAX, this kind of application is not
supported--this is why I asked, maybe I am doing something wrong.

In this case(if it is not supportted), shoul we/I open a
bug repot to Digium? 

Botton line, what i am trying to do is to pickup any call
that cames in, direct call, transfered call, queue call, using IAX, and
I am wondering if this is possible in any way.

Regards,
Cosmin



I believe chan_iax2 does not support call pickup.  Search the archives.

 Hello list
 
  
 
 I am trying to configure a PBX using Asterisk.
 
 The problem I am havong is the following: I want to use the *8 from

 I want to put the users in call queues and I want anybody from the
 company to be able to pick a ringing channel, even if is in a queue.
 
  
 
 Whwn using Sip protocol for the users, everithing is going fine, I
 can pickup any ringing extension from the group using *8.
 
 But the problem appears when I am using IAX protocol. When issuing
 *8 from the IAX phone, asterisk tryes to find the *8 in the dialling
 rules returning:

That is utter rubbish.

PtP mode is completely unrelated to how many numbers are allocated on
the line. It is possible that 1-to-1 is a common implementation where
an ISDN phone is being used, but that does not make it a requirement.

A SETUP packet arrives and it contains the caller-ID (usually) and
the called number (or a representation of it) - In PtMP, all devices
that are interested in handling the called number then fight over
who answers the call based in the received information, and in PtP,
the one device decides what to do with the call whether it wanted it
or not.

Well my experience with major softphone deployment was using Cisco Call
Manager.
In that situation we had ~150 softphones and ~100 IP Phones. Apart from the
initial configuration and taking extra care that the machines running the
softphones were configured
correctly we experienced very few problems.  Extra care had to be taken to
select good quality headphones and USB headphones did tend to work better
than ones connected to
sound cards.
Problems arose when the users 'tinkered' with their machines (which we
eventually locked down pretty hard) or an unrelated application crashing
causing the whole machine to slow
down to a crawl and affecting voice quality significantly.
Otherwise things did work rather smoothly and the extra mobility gains for
some of our users
(moving around the office with their mobile PCs) made it worthwhile.

The OP has 300 phones. That's 38 SPA devices.

And while you might think it's solid and reliable, I have one customer 
using 3 of them and they're not impressed with echo on their existing 
analog network.

This is high-end channel bank territory. Multiple E1s - traditional

It does but whatever I tried, it defaulted to 5.

Anyway, with grep in /etc/asterisk/*.conf, I found those 2 lines in
asterisk.conf :
debug=5
verbose=5

That should explain why I couldn't revert to a lower level of verbosity.

 Also, if we were to convert to an all-IP phone system (non-ATA), we would 
 need to buy more ethernet switches (currently they're all full) and tunnel 
 cables thtough ceilings and walls. In other words, it would cost a lot more 
 than to simply buy ATAs. What I'm looking for however are STABLE, RELIABLE

I will second this opinion.

This may be going a little off topic, but is there a way to lock the voip
section of the ata so that the end user can not change settings in this
area, but as far as the ip settings go and other sections the user will be
able to access them?
  

Yes it is possible but a little bit more involved.  First you setup the 
device to download the profile from a tftp or http server where you 
setup the xml file.  The file will have all the parameters defined like 
this:

  Proxy_1_ ua=na192.168.1.200/Proxy_1_

What that ua=na mean is that the user will have No Access to the 
parameter.  The other 2 options are ro and rw, read-only and 
read-write respectively.  There is no way to define these directly on 
the SPA web page, you have to use a provisioning file in order to define 
these permissions.

[asterisk-users] Zaptel Lines - How many are in use..

2008-09-29 Thread Singer Wang

Hello,

I have a question. We have a 8 port FXO card in our asterisk server 
plugged into 8 analog lines. Is there a way to tell at how many of those 
ports are in use (AKA, actually on a call)? I tried zap show status and 
zap show channel [num] but I don't see anything that might be helpful.

I normally use 'core show channels' and check for 'Zap/' in the channel 
string.

Are you trying to do it in an automated way, like from AGI?

[asterisk-users] Source of SIP Remote host can't match request NOTIFY

2008-09-29 Thread Olivier
Hi,

I've got a lot of Remote host can't match request NOTIFY.
I've read
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2008-May/210709.html .



Recommendation is 

enable SIP debug to see what packets are causing
this, and if it's voicemail notifications, turn them off in sip.conf


How would you proceed to get those debug ?

The exact message is :
WARNING[2990]: chan_sip.c:12900 handle_response: Remote host can't
match request NOTIFY to call
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Giving up.

As this 192.168.52.31 adresse is my Asterisk server address, I don't
have a clue to focus debugging on the device that replies 481 to
Asterisk.
Unfortunately, I've got several dozens of devices and all with QUALIFY=yes.
So in 60 seconds, I get hundred of SIP debug lines.

Is there a smart way to handle this ?
Something like SIP DEBUG 481 ?

Anyway, do you think it could make sense to ask (or develop) a more
explicit WARNING message such as
Remote host 192.168.52.123 can't match ... ?
Cheers

Re: [asterisk-users] ATA for large networks

2008-09-29 Thread Carlos Chavez
The Linksys SPA-8000 is an 8 port FXS unit that works very well.

For that volume you should also consider either a Channelbank or maybe
a Xorcom Astribank.  You can get those in 24 or 32 port versions.

 That's because we have almost 400 analog phones already wired in our building 
 (which is very large). So we need to take advantage of the wiring.
 
 Also, if we were to convert to an all-IP phone system (non-ATA), we would 
 need to buy more ethernet switches (currently they're all full) and tunnel 
 cables thtough ceilings and walls. In other words, it would cost a lot more 
 than to simply buy ATAs. What I'm looking for however are STABLE, RELIABLE 
 ATAs...
 
 Thanks for the feedback,

 hi;
 i do not know how it works in the uk, but is there an equalivent to
 our 866-877-888-800 numbers for london for say? I have some friends  
 in
 london and want them to be able to call me in the states.
 Please help with where i can get the numbers, what they start with,
 how much they are, and what not.

 As far as call charges are concerned, there is no such thing as  
 local or
 long-distance in the UK now, and hadn't been for many years. We now  
 have
 geographic and non geographic numbers. (Non geographics are  
 sometimes
 called NGNs)

 The Geographics start 01 or 02 and are what they imply - mapped to a
 particular geographic area. (or are supposed to as some are ported  
 into
 VoIP and moved) These numbers are relatively low cost to call and  
 often
 can be called for free out of inclusive minutes or other deals  
 with your
 phone company.

 NGNs include freephone numbers (aka toll-free in the US) - starting  
 0800,
 0808 or 0500.

 NGNs can also be revenue generating - they are usually free to  
 assign and
 maintain, but cost the caller more than calling a Geographic number  
 and
 the terminating operator generates revenue from the call. These  
 numbers
 typically start 084 or 087. The 087's generating more revenue than  
 084,
 and cost more to the caller. (There are other ranges of premium  
 numbers -
 09 and 070, but we'll not go there)

 So - If you want your friends to call you for free, then why not just
 allocate then a SIP account on your own system, then get them to run a
 softphone, or buy a hard-phone and then they can connect up?

 Failing that, they can get a SIP account with a multitude of UK (and
 European) based operators and make calls - sometimes for free,  
 sometimes
 for a small per minute charge.

 And failing all that - because they don't have/want technology, you  
 can
 get an account with one of these operators and terminate it in your  
 own
 SIP/IAX hardware, then they can call you for the price of a standard  
 UK
 geographic number - which may be free for them, depending on the  
 package
 they have with their phone company.

 A final thing to note, there is a new range of non-geographic  
 numbers in
 the UK which start 03. These cost the same to call as 01 and 02  
 numbers
 (or should), so you could allocate one of these and have it  
 terminated on
 your own SIP/IAX account.

 People to do it via (other than me - I can't take US currency, but  
 drop an
 email if interested anyway) in no particular order: www.gradwell.com,
 www.voiptalk.co.uk, www.voipon.co.uk, www.voip.co.uk, www.aql.co.uk  
 and a
 few others.

 Hope this helps!

 somewhat loose collection of text files.

 That's basic UI psychology 101.

We're not using AGI or anything like it. I'm scripting something that

Worth noting that UK premium rate numbers are covered by PhonePayPlus
(the regulator for PRS).

http://www.phonepayplus.org.uk/consumers/faq/default.asp

070 MAY be covered if they are used for PRS services (not for personal
numbering).

Ofcom are intending to move PRS out of 070 (and want to make all 07
mobile).

There are oddities of course, the Channel Islands adhere to UK numbering
plans by agreement with the UK gov (or however it works) but Channel
Island mobiles and landline numbers are treated as foreign calls even
though they are in UK number space. Great isn't it.

Maybe I missed a message or something, but I don't see a response to 
Tzafrir's request to see /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf.
extensions_additional.conf is not extensions.conf; and unless
extensions.conf includes it, it will never be a part of your dialplan.

You did mention that you were using trixbox in your original question,
so we referred you to a trixbox mailing list, because rumors have it
that trixbox does complicated things in their dialplan to accomplish
their goals, and most folks in this mailing list (but not all) 
don't play much with trixbox. 

But if you are not using trixbox, then you might look in your 
extensions.conf to answer these questions. 

Another resource you have to investigate the dialplan is in the
CLI of asterisk; you can say dialplan show, or dialplan show
from-max
to see if the from-max context has been included.

when the pbx_config module (module load pbx_config.so) loads, it
will read in /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf; if it is not there,
that module will not complete the loading process.

If want us to evaluate why your dialplan is not working, show us the
dialplan in extensions.conf.

 load kernel modules or do other dangerous stuff, but can access them I 
 built zaptel 1.4 and it is now loaded by the host.
 
 modprobe ztdummy (alone) on the host. You'll have to create the basic
 device files on the gusts from the host. You'll have to use static
 device files.

Sorry for taking so long getting back.

By static device files you mean they are there when I enter the guest. 
I created them from the host system. (Ref: telephreak.org link below)

Now I'm trying to build Asterisk in the guest but when I go through 
menuselect = Applications; app_flash and app_meetme are XXX'd out. 
They need Zaptel installed.  A lsmod shows zaptel and friends are loaded.

I'm assuming the guest really does have have access but the build 
processes look at something else to determine if Zaptel is installed.

The Zaptel sources are installed and I did a:

make libtonezone.so
copied libtonezone.so to /usr/lib//usr/lib/libtonezone.so.1.0
and made a couple of links to give it more generic names; 
libtonezone.so.1 and libtonezone.so.

This included putting a copy of zaptel.h in /usr/include/linux and 
tomezone.h in /usr/include.  I found these instructions on the 
telephreaks.com site http://www.telephreak.org/papers/vpa/.

Is there a way to over-ride make file build and force meetme and flash 
to be built?


TIA,
Rod
-- 
 The issue I see is there will be no Zaptel hardware and these guests 
 will only do SIP, IAX, etc. but do appear to need ztdummy for timing 
 with other services.  So I'm looking for a way to not load (or even 
 build) all the other modules that come as part of Zaptel.

 Possible?
 
 Yes.
 
 Will the complete change to DAHDI make this easier/harder?
 
 No.

[asterisk-users] Channel variables materializing ...

2008-09-29 Thread Julian Lyndon-Smith
I am trying to track a strange bug down, and need to ask a really stupid 
question, just so I can eliminate the possibility ..

When a SIP channel is hung up, I import a variable called MEETMEROOM 
from the BRIDGEPEER channel, and if it is set, jump to another part of 
the dialplan.

[snip]
exten = h,1,ImportVar(PARKED=${BRIDGEPEER},MEETMEROOM)
exten = h,n,GotoIf($[${PARKED} != ]?end)
exten = h,n,goto(DialStatus,${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten = h,n(end),NoOp()
[snip]

There have been several occasions over the past couple of days where 
this variable has not executed the goto, and gone to the (end) label 
when I know for certain that the BRIDGEPEER channel does not have the 
variable set (I was able to duplicate the error once during a test phase 
when I was not setting the MEETMEROOM variable at all)

so, to the stupid question: If at some stage the BRIDGEPEER channel 
*has* had the MEETMEROOM variable declared, are there any circumstances 
at all where this variable may be transmitted to the next call that uses 
this channel.

There, I asked it. I don't believe that I just did. But there you have 
it. It's out in the open now ...

The only other thing that I was thinking of - if the PARKED variable was 
already set on the SIP channel, would an import of a non-existant 
variable from the BRIDGEPEER channel overwrite it, or keep it at the 
previous value ? Hmmm. Time to experiment.

Julian.

Re: [asterisk-users] Source of SIP Remote host can't match request NOTIFY

2008-09-29 Thread Olivier
I've been lucky enough to catch a NOTIFY/SUBSCRIBE sequence which ended with
such 481 reply. (I don't have the slightest why NOTIFY is replied with 481
error, but that's another topic).

Anyway, my question remains :
Do you think message Remote host can't match request NOTIFY to call should
be improved to Remote host 192.168.41.231 can't match request NOTIFY ...
as, even with verbosity of 10, original message won't give any clue to find
the responding host ?


Regards



2008/9/29 Olivier [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Hi,

 I've got a lot of Remote host can't match request NOTIFY.
 I've read
 http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2008-May/210709.html .



 Recommendation is 

 enable SIP debug to see what packets are causing
 this, and if it's voicemail notifications, turn them off in sip.conf


 How would you proceed to get those debug ?

 The exact message is :
 WARNING[2990]: chan_sip.c:12900 handle_response: Remote host can't match 
 request NOTIFY to call '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Giving up.

 As this 192.168.52.31 adresse is my Asterisk server address, I don't have a 
 clue to focus debugging on the device that replies 481 to Asterisk.
 Unfortunately, I've got several dozens of devices and all with QUALIFY=yes.

 So in 60 seconds, I get hundred of SIP debug lines.

 Is there a smart way to handle this ?
 Something like SIP DEBUG 481 ?

 Anyway, do you think it could make sense to ask (or develop) a more explicit 
 WARNING message such as

 Remote host 192.168.52.123 can't match ... ?
 Cheers

This may be a long shot but would it not be better to check to see 
whether or not the MEETMEROOM variable is defined before assigning it's 
value to another variable?  With just a cursory glance through the 
asterisk documentation I have available I don't see any indication of 
how asterisk variables behave if they are undefined. 

The other possibility I was considering is maybe BRIDGEPEER is not 
always being set to the correct channel?

Good luck,
-Brent

 You should have looked in /path/to/arc/asterisk/doc/channelvariables.txt 
   There's lots of cool information there, and all of it is up to date 
 for your version of Asterisk, unlike voip-info.org.

 I often wonder why nobody seems to read the docs that are included with 
 Asterisk.

   
 Web and/or context-searchable documentation will ALWAYS win out over a
 somewhat loose collection of text files.

 That's basic UI psychology 101.

Linksys SPA-8000 is an 8 port  looks great, is there something similar which
serves as a wireless router as well.

Re: [asterisk-users] credit card processing

 Hi Guys
 On the website, we already accept credit card by sending users to paypal
 website where we have an account.

PayPal does have a service that is more like a traditional merchant
service. I don't know if they have a real API that you can integrate
into your system, however.

 Now, we want to do the same with an IVR where people can call a number,
 enter their credit card number and
 expiration date.

This should be rather easy. Any traditional online merchant account.
When you obtain a merchant account there are (simplified version
follows) two parties involved, the bank that process the transactions
and the gateway that accepts the transactions from the merchant (you)
and sends them to the bank to be processed, in real time.
Authorize.net is a very popular gateway supported by most e-commerce
software. The point is that the Authorize.net API is a very popular
system -- just about any pre-built e-commerce software supports it. It
should be rather simple to create an AGI script which takes the credit
card information and interfaces with the Authorize.net. They publish
many examples and detailed API documentation so this should be a
breeze for any skilled programmer. I strongly recommend that you use
the CVV2 and AVS as a minimal means to reduce fraud.

 But I don't see any service or credit card procession company that
 offers this.
 What I want basicly is a service where I can send the credit card number
 I collected and expiration that and
 their charge the number and give me a status back.

 Do you know any company that do this ??

That's exactly the purpose of the Authnet API! Further information can
be found here: http://developer.authorize.net/ Authorize.net also
sells their gateway service under another name (I cant recall it right
now), but everything else is the same. Also, some other gateways
support Authorize.net emulation.

 Most credit card processing gateways require you to have the user's
 name and address for AVS verification when you perform customer not
 present transactions. Easy enough to do over a website, but a bit
 more tricky on the phone.

AVS simply verifies the street number and zip code, nothing else. If I
live at 123 Maple Street in zip code 77099 and I steal the credit card
from someone at 123 Test Ct. in the same zip code I can have things
mailed to me and it will pass AVS. Either way, when you are not
shipping a physical product the rate of fraud rises dramatically --
you should carefully investigate fraud prevention for your system.
Authorize.net provide a service which claims to flag/reduce fraudulent
transactions. One of the merchant services I deal with, CDG Commerce
(I highly recommend them, their customer service is top notch, but I
dont think they will process for a VoIP/calling card service), has
another similar system for no cost.

Re: [asterisk-users] ATA for large networks

2008-09-29 Thread Vieri
Thanks for the feedback.

I'm particularly curious to know if anyone has tried a TDMoE channel bank. 
Spidermux seems to be one of the few vendors available. It's the closest I can 
get to an ATA-like device (ie. no special hardware, just ethernet) and it 
also offers an easy failover mechanism to another Asterisk server on the LAN.
So I'm wondering why TDMoE channel banks aren't that popular (am I wrong?)? Is 
Asterisk's native TDMoE implemntation unreliable?
Has anyone tested Spidermux or other TDMoE channel bank manufacturer?

Standard channel banks become expensive when one has to buy the T1/E1 PCI 
cards on the Asterisk server. Since most channel banks interface with T1 (24 
channels) and if I have about 350 analog phones to connect then I'd need around 
15 T1s (that's about 4 quad-pri T1 cards which of course require 4 PCI slots 
and a fair amount of cash).

Xorcom's Astribank is something in-between. It doesn't require PCI slots or T1 
cards but connects via USB. Just like T1 channel banks, Astribanks don't  seem 
to offer an easy failover mechanism like in the TDMoE solution (correct me if 
I'm wrong). However, a potentially higher number of astribanks can be cheaply 
connected to a single Asterisk server via several USB ports. I'm wondering how 
many 24-FXS astribanks can be connected via USB 2.0 to a single 4-USB-port 
server.

Of the three solutions I'd try the TDMoE device but I'm wondering why noone in 
this thread even mentioned the protocol.

I installed a few Spidermux units on some clients. It works fine, but I had 
some trouble with cordless analog phones connected to it. The ring voltage is 
pretty low and that caused some phones to not ring at all. And the ring voltage 
isn't configurable.

Aside from that, it is a good product. Too bad it's the only TDMoE channel bank 
(that I know of, at least).

[asterisk-users] Maybe OT - routing calls in PSTN

2008-09-29 Thread Bill Michaelson
I have a Vitelity DID which generally works, but calls from a particular 
caller do not reach it.  Vitelity has thus far disavowed any 
responsibility for working through this problem.  I recognize that some 
action might be required by another provider which is outside Vitelity's 
control, but it seems that they should at least be trying to help 
resolve the problem by helping me determine the responsible party and 
facilitating contact - because it is their DID/service that cannot be 
reached.


In the past when I had a similar problem with a Junction DID, the folks 
at Junction resolved it with no hassles and zero intervention on my 
part.  But Vitelity just keeps closing out my trouble tickets while 
responding in a way that indicates that they are not reading my reports 
carefully.


How does this compare to others' experiences with Vitelity and other 
providers?  Is there a way that I can determine whom to contact given 
only an originating number?  Any words of wisdom?  Documents I can read 
for educating myself?

If Vitelity is an ITSP, the problem is with the underlying carrier that 
provides the actual interconnection and switching facilities.

It is their responsibility to contact the underlying origination carrier 
to resolve the issue.

BTW, if you provide the originating number, the underlying carrier can 
be determined, either by the pooling or NANPA block it is assigned to, 
or its LRN if ported.  If you want, you can privately e-mail me the 
number and I'll tell you who the carrier is.

[asterisk-users] OT: real 2 line phone vs. 1 line and call waiting

2008-09-29 Thread Brian J. Murrell
I'm looking into getting a new phone and wondering what the difference
in functionality is between a single line phone with call waiting and a
real 2 line phone (either a real SIP phone or an analog 2 line phone and
a 2 port ATA) is.  Why would I want the real 2 lines vs. just being able
to take an incoming call via call-waiting?

Cheers,
b.
