[asterisk-users] Strange Packet Behavior

2009-02-01 Thread Elliot Murdock
Hello Everybody!

My server is attempting to connect to a SIP device, but is not
succeeding to.  I checked the actual packets traveling back and forth
with ngrep and I noticed some odd packets coming in.

Here is the outgoing INVITE packet sent to the SIP device:

#
U asteriskserver:5060 - sipdevice:15244
  INVITE sip:3...@sipdevice:15244 SIP/2.0..Via: SIP/2.0/UDP
asteriskserver:5060;branch=z9hG4bK7cb4b7a7;rport..From: m

annexb=no..a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000..a=fmtp:101
0-16..a=silenceSupp:off - -  - -..a=ptime:20..a=sendrecv..

Unfortunately, there is no response from the sip device.  However,
this packet shows up with ngrep from the sipdevice:

#
I sipdevice - asteriskserver 3:1
  E...5...INVITE sip:6571...@sipdevice
SIP/2.0..Via: SIP/2.0/UDP asteriskserver:5060;branch=z9hG4bK

2009 10:36:51 GMT..Allow: INVITE, ACK, CANCEL, OPTIONS, BYE, REFER,
SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY..Supported: replaces..Content-Type: a

Apparently, the device is getting a packet, but its response is not
being sent back properly.  The sipdevice is sending a packet, but
instead of being sent to port 5060, it is sent an odd port of 3:1.
Moreover, there are some phantom characters that show up the beginning
of the return packet (E...5...I).

Any help would be great!
Elliot

Hello List

I am setting up a small demo site using SS7 and one of the requirement is
to be able to unhide the numbers and locate exact location of the caller

I just want to know how do read those information from the dialplan to be

Beware PoE switches that can't handle Class 3 (15W) on all ports.
Most have fans because 24 (or 48) x 15W is hot!

 I want to put a PoE switch in place, with 24 ports and Gig speed.  Everyone

Sorry, but why u r using the Radius with the CDR? Not enough to access the CDR

Also, what kind of Radius u r using? Any suggested link?

 Hello list.
 
 I'm having some problems with the CDR Radius in my
 Asterisk 1.4.  I'm
 using two TC400B cards for transcoding.  When I reach
 nearly 100
 simmultaneous calls, the CDR radius packets are being
 duplicated and I'm
 getting this message in the asterisk console : 
 
  
 
 cdr_radius.c:227 radius_log: Failed to record Radius CDR
 record!
 
  
 
 I'm also using the radiusclient-ng 0.5.6 to interact
 with the radius
 server.
 
  
 
 What I'm seeing in the radius server side are 3 radius
 packets reaching
 at almost the same time.  Please look at the debug:

[asterisk-users] Sending Calls via SIP trunk from two different IP addresses from same Asterisk Machine

2009-02-01 Thread bilal ghayyad
Hi All;

I can assign for my Asterisk Machine a two IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy and 
xxx.xxx.xxx.yyz), how can I use these two IP's so I can let one call sent with 
a source IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy and another call to be sent with another 
source IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.yyz, I need this because I need the side to 
authorize my calls by the IP address, and some calls to be authorized with the 
first IP address and other calls to be authorized with another IP address, 
ofcourse I have some reason for this. 

The idea is: how to control the source IP address that I am sending from it to 
the other side?

Can I determine the source IP address of the SIP trunk while I am configuing my 
SIP section for that connection? What about the bindaddress?

Any help?
Regards
Bilal

Re: [asterisk-users] Sending Calls via SIP trunk from two different IP addresses from same Asterisk Machine

2009-02-01 Thread Jeff LaCoursiere

I am confused as to what you are trying to accomplish.  Can you be more 
specific?  It seems that you are making this too complicated.  You say 
that the remote end is providing you two SIP trunks that will come from 
the same IP address.  To distinguish them simply have them authenticate 
with two different usernames.

This does beg the question, though, if the endpoint is the same, why have 
a separate trunk?  How about routing the calls based on differing CID?

If you can explain the situation more distinctly perhaps an alternate 
method will present itself.  Hard to imagine a real need for binding to 
multiple local IP addresses on the asterisk side.

If you are REALLY stuck on doing it that way, however, how about simply 
running a second instance of asterisk?  You would have to recompile the 
source to read config from a second tree, but then your second instance 
could bind to your aliased address.  I suppose you could even trunk the 
two together if the two instances must pass traffic between each other.

How odd :)

Re: [asterisk-users] Sending Calls via SIP trunk from two different IP addresses from same Asterisk Machine

2009-02-01 Thread Mike
I have the same issue, I was just asking about that.  My main SIP PRI
provider identifies me from my IP address, but I have two separate PRIs
(different rate centers) with them.

From their end I get calls to xxx.yyy.zzz.xxx and .xxy and I have no trouble
getting calls, but I can only send calls from my main machine IP address so
I can't control where I am sending calls to.

I am hoping to have this developped somehow (a per SIP peer bindaddr and
bindport), even if it means some bounty.  I can't imagine this being this
difficult, so a few of us who need this putting a couple hundred dollar
would probably do it.

Mike

Re: [asterisk-users] Quiet 24 port POE gig switch

2009-02-01 Thread Sam Tam
As far as I know all POE switches are quite noisy, they need to cool the
extra power consumed by the POE and hence they will run warmer than other
switch.
I know Cisco, 3COM, are very noisy but you can try other cheaper brand like
levelone or other to see if they have fans inside the switch.

Good Luck

Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Quiet 24 port POE gig switch



2009/1/31 OCG Technical Support supp...@ocg.ca


A little off topic but

 

I need to put a 24 port Gig PoE switch into a small office - no
computer room / rack etc.  All CAT5 terminates near the owners desk (smart
huh?).

 

I want to put a PoE switch in place, with 24 ports and Gig speed.
Everyone I've researched so far is LOUD...

 

Anyone know of a quiet one?

 

Thanks

I can't remember the exact model but I used a Cisco catalyst switch for a
class and after reboot, it was very quiet.

I guess one would have to ask whether 1000 Gb is necessary.  That's a lot of 
bandwidth.  It might make sense to use it for central distribution.  There are 
also some that have one or two 1000 Gb ports that might be appropriate for 
trunking and the rest 100 Mb which is probably fast enough for terminal nodes.  
That combination would be less power hungry.

On the other hand if this is for HDTV multichannel distribution, then I retract 
what I said.

You cannot.  This behavior is not supported, even in trunk.  What is currently
supported in 1.6.0 and above, however, is responding back on the same IP, if
the opposing SIP server started the request.  This was necessary to support
TCP.  It may no longer be that difficult to support specifying a source IP per
peer, given the changes necessary to support TCP, but as I have not attempted
it, I'll hold off on pronouncing that an easy change.

OK, if I send for my provider (the destination), it will authenticate based on 
the IP ONLY, this is the provider system. And once authenticated me based on 
that IP, it will give me all the schema related to this account. Sometimes I 
need to use another schema for some calls, I am not able until send for the

Apologies, I tend to give the impression that I am sure changes are easy: I
was merely giving an educated guess as a programmer but not specifically as
an Asterisk or even Linux programmer.  I definitely could be way off in my

Re: [asterisk-users] Sending Calls via SIP trunk from two different IP addresses from same Asterisk Machine

2009-02-01 Thread Geraint Lee
Could you not use some iptables to do this? I don't know the exact command
you'd need but it could work something like...

If the destination port is 5060 and destination ip is xxx then route via the
default ip (so do nothing)
If the destination port is 5061 and destination ip is xxx change the
destination port back to 5060 and set secondary ip as the source?

Just a thought... i'm guessing this would be able to do the job.. not sure
what issues you might run in to by changing 5060 to 5061... but if it came
to it you could try it by using an alternate ip and changing it back.  Who
knows... not sure if i've even read enough to understand the problem :)

Re: [asterisk-users] Sending Calls via SIP trunk from two different IP addresses from same Asterisk Machine

2009-02-01 Thread Jeff LaCoursiere

I briefly glanced at the code before responding, and it does seem that if 
you specify a bind address it will use that address when responding.  I 
stick by my comment that the change you want is not exactly simple - 
unless you are very familiar with the 18,000 line chan_sip.c :)  It also 
appears that the bind address is a global in this implementation... so 
some thought would have to go into efficiently representing all the 
possible peer bind addresses in a thread safe manner... and if the change 
is made to this channel it really out to be for all of them.

So a hack is probably possible without too much trouble.  For it to be 
done right is not a simple change.  Sorry for the rambling.

 The idea is: how to control the source IP address that

 Can I determine the source IP address of the SIP trunk

 What about the bindaddress?

 Any help?

Re: [asterisk-users] Sending Calls via SIP trunk from two different IP addresses from same Asterisk Machine

2009-02-01 Thread Jeff LaCoursiere

Actually I think that is a good idea.  In sip.conf setup the two remote 
ends on different IPs (one of which is actually bogus).  Outbound NAT 
based on the destination, where you change the source IP to the one 
expected by the provider, and change the bogus destination to the real 
one.  Inbound NAT back to the base address based on the destination in the 
reply.

Now THAT is a hack.

 Could you not use some iptables to do this? I don't know the exact command
 you'd need but it could work something like...

 If the destination port is 5060 and destination ip is xxx then route via the

 If the destination port is 5061 and destination ip is xxx change the
 destination port back to 5060 and set secondary ip as the source?

 Just a thought... i'm guessing this would be able to do the job.. not sure
 what issues you might run in to by changing 5060 to 5061... but if it came
 to it you could try it by using an alternate ip and changing it back.  Who

 At the risk of seeming impolite (I really am not), why not? Isn't Asterisk
 able to send packets using another interface using bindaddr?  The problem,
 for the two of us, is that bindaddr is Asterisk-wide, and not per-peer.

 Ah, that makes more sense.  Asterisk binding to another IP is not the
 issue, actually, and even running another instance will not do what you
 need.  Your problem is that the OS itself will stamp outbound packets
 with the main source IP of the main interface.  Asterisk could be
 modified
 to send packets with specific IP source, but I don't think that would be
 a
 simple change.

 I am confused as to what you are trying to accomplish.  Can
 you be more specific?  It seems that you are making this too
 complicated.  You say that the remote end is providing you
 two SIP trunks that will come from the same IP address.  To
 distinguish them simply have them authenticate with two
 different usernames.

 This does beg the question, though, if the endpoint is the
 same, why have a separate trunk?  How about routing the
 calls based on differing CID?

 If you can explain the situation more distinctly perhaps an
 alternate method will present itself.  Hard to imagine a
 real need for binding to multiple local IP addresses on the
 asterisk side.

 If you are REALLY stuck on doing it that way, however, how
 about simply running a second instance of asterisk?  You
 would have to recompile the source to read config from a
 second tree, but then your second instance could bind to
 your aliased address.  I suppose you could even trunk the
 two together if the two instances must pass traffic between

The current code uses a separate socket for each of TCP, TLS, and UDP

One could probably use multiple TCP descriptors without a lot of work.

[asterisk-users] Trunk with Polocom Video Conferencing Unit

2009-02-01 Thread Daniel Harper
I was wondering if anyone can help me with a problem we have at one of
our sites.

We have setup a Asterisk Trunk to a Avaya PBX, ie ...

   Avaya - Asterisk (1.2.30) - External ISDN Network

BUT They also have a Polycom VSX 7000 that with some sort of BRI
converters that plugs into the Avaya.

The Trunk is working well except for Video Conference Calls. The
Polocom can receive but not make calls, and the calls that it receives
drop out every 5 minutes.

Short of telling them to fork out for a BRI service does anyone have
any ideas how to rectify the drop-outs? Would 1.4 help? Is there a way
to plug the Polycom into the Asterisk server directly?

Any help would be much appreciated.

The problem is squeezing fans in that can push enough air to keep it cool...
For a 1U device, you have only 4.445cm to work with, with a 4mm fan, that
would be 2.2mm of space for casing etc above and below, reasonably tight
already... A quiet 80mm fan as you may find in a PC PSU that puts out
somewhere between 15-20dBA of noise will typically move between 20 and 30
cfm of air... A quiet 120mm fan at the same noise levels would typically
move between 30 and 50 cfm of air and a quiet 40mm at those levels would
move about 5 cfm of air... Obviously, they aren't using quiet 40mm fans...
To get the airflow of the quiet 80mm fans, a 40mm fan has to go very fast
and you're looking at noise levels of approx 40-60dBA, not exactly quiet,
but, that's not all, even if the fan was silent, forcing the air through the
small cramped chassis of a 1U device is going to be noisy...

The assumption made when they make these devices is that the vast majority
of people will put this kit somewhere out of the way in a likely temperature
controlled, reasonably sound insulated environment, with the rest of their
hardware that lives hidden from people... These people will likely prefer
that kit uses the space as efficiently as possible, so, squeezing as much
functionality into as few rack units as possible is important... They have
typically made a good assumption in this I would say... Admittedly, people
who are planning an office for their first time may more commonly neglect IT
hardware, it's requirements (and those of those people around it), from an
IT standpoint, it's a significant pain to deal with, but, in most cases I've
seen, it's something that's considered very carefully if planning an office
in the future...

I suspect the lack of larger quieter units in the market is reflective of
the much lower demand for these, somewhat specialised devices... On the
otherhand, soundproofed rack cabinets that have integrated cooling and look
nice/plain enough that they don't scare people in an office should be
generic enough that there would, I suspect, be sufficient demand from those
that didn't consider IT requirements when fitting out an office to justify
making them...

Re: [asterisk-users] Trunk with Polocom Video Conferencing Unit

2009-02-01 Thread D Tucny
2009/2/2 Daniel Harper dan...@harper.net.nz

 I was wondering if anyone can help me with a problem we have at one of
 our sites.

 We have setup a Asterisk Trunk to a Avaya PBX, ie ...

   Avaya - Asterisk (1.2.30) - External ISDN Network

 BUT They also have a Polycom VSX 7000 that with some sort of BRI
 converters that plugs into the Avaya.

 The Trunk is working well except for Video Conference Calls. The
 Polocom can receive but not make calls, and the calls that it receives
 drop out every 5 minutes.

 Short of telling them to fork out for a BRI service does anyone have
 any ideas how to rectify the drop-outs? Would 1.4 help? Is there a way
 to plug the Polycom into the Asterisk server directly?

 Any help would be much appreciated.


The Polycom has a number of interface options, quad BRI being one of them...
Your Avaya PBX has some BRI modules with the Polycom probably using 4 of the
ports on one of those modules able to use 8 channels at the same time...

You've not mentioned how the Avaya is connected to Asterisk and you've not
provided any information on messages you are getting on the Asterisk console
when attempting to make outbound calls or when calls drop out on inbound
calls... This would be useful to help you determine what is happening... If
using a PRI type connection between the Avaya and Asterisk, it might also be
useful to get some pri debug output during these tests...

It could, in theory be possible to connect the Polycom directly to Asterisk,
possibly with BRI, possibly through the use of H.323, but the support for
both of those is somewhat less mature than much of the rest of asterisk...

Re: [asterisk-users] SIP.Conf - bindaddr per peer?

2009-02-01 Thread Johansson Olle E

31 jan 2009 kl. 02.44 skrev Mike:

 Replying to my own message.  How difficult would it be to add a  
 bindaddr (and possibly bindport) PER PEER in SIP.conf?

 How much of a bounty would I have to pay to get this done you think?

Well, if you run bindaddr=0.0.0.0 Asterisk will listen to all IP's. I  
would say the simplest way would be to implement
some sort of ACL for which address a peer accept inbound  
communication. The problem here is making sure that
we send From the proper IP. It can be done, but with testing it's  
propably a couple of days work.

Adding bindport would be a huge project, since it requires multiple  
ports in parallell, something that we're still
a bit nervous about doing in chan_sip for 1.6 with the addition of TLS  
and TCP. The SIP structure locking scheme
is... Well, to put it mildly, scary.

For pricing, I would suggest you use the -biz list or send private e- 
mails.
