Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.4 or 1.6 automated install script for CentOS 5.3 or 5.4

I suggest you install it from source, that way you can learn
more about asterisk.

Compiled OK:
   /usr/src/asterisk/app_fax# ls -lta app_fax.*
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28869 Jan 13 00:25 app_fax.so
   -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25242 Jan 13 00:24 app_fax.c

Copied to modules directory:

   cp -p app_fax.so  /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/

There it is:

   ls -lta /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/app_fax*

   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28869 Jan 16 02:10 
/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/app_fax.so

Added a specific line in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf:

   load => app_fax.so

Rebooted.  No module loaded:

   # lsmod | grep fax
   #

Searched on the Web:

   

Found stuff about Zaptel and ztdummy.  I compiled them
previously:

   # find / -name "*zaptel*.*o"
   /usr/src/asterisk/zaptel/zaptel-1.4.12.1/kernel/zaptel-base.o
   /usr/src/asterisk/zaptel/zaptel-1.4.12.1/kernel/zaptel.mod.o
   /usr/src/asterisk/zaptel/zaptel-1.4.12.1/kernel/zaptel.ko
   /usr/src/asterisk/zaptel/zaptel-1.4.12.1/kernel/zaptel.o
   /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.7.1.el5PAE/misc/zaptel.ko


   # find / -name "*ztdummy*"
   /usr/src/asterisk/zaptel/zaptel-1.4.12.1/kernel/.ztdummy.mod.o.cmd
   /usr/src/asterisk/zaptel/zaptel-1.4.12.1/kernel/.tmp_versions/ztdummy.mod

   /usr/src/asterisk/zaptel/zaptel-1.4.12.1/kernel/ztdummy.o

   /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.7.1.el5PAE/misc/ztdummy.ko


Checking:

   # lsmod | grep zaptel
   #

   # lsmod | grep ztdummy
   #

Thought I loaded:

   # modprobe zaptel
   FATAL: Module zaptel not found.

   # modprobe ztdummy
   FATAL: Module ztdummy not found.

I seem to be missing some very important steps.  Anyone
care to point me in the proper direction?

Just in passing Gordon - call that line from an external phone and see
if the alarm clears. I've had some DAHDI issues where the alarm is up
until the line takes an incomming call, but it still works.

Try PBX-in-a-Flash.  Undoubtedly it won't do everything you want out of
the box, but I suspect it will do /most/ of what you want out of the box.

Seperate cabling for voip: ok, but i wouldn't put a switch at every
desktop: A 100MB switch with power-over-ethernet can be put on a UPS.

During my last blackout i found out that all but my switches were on the
UPS... bummer!
And i presume that Gb-p.o.e are even more expensive than 100Mb-p.o.e.

Not all that complicated.

IIRC it's just.

brctl addbr br0
brctl addif eth0
brctl addif eth1

Then configure br0 as your interface.

Hi,

Is it possible to "regret" blind transfer while its ringing (not answered)?

Thank you!

Use kickstart to configure your default packages, and then set up a
shell script to install the additional stuff you need.

[asterisk-users] Hint for realtime peers

[Deep D]

Hello,

When I create a sip peer  in users.conf then a hint is automatically
created for that peer. But when I create a peer in sip.conf or a
realtime peer with the same values then this hint is not created.
Every time I add such peers I have to add a hint in extensions.conf.

Is it possible to have something like   exten =>
_XXX,hint,SIP/${EXTEN}   in extensions.conf so that I don't have to
add hint for each sip peer I create?

Thanks

I'm guessing you mean recall or grab.

I haven't tried it myself, but I'm guessing that if the phone that did 
the blind transfer was in the same pickup group as destination phone, 
that you could probably grab that call using *8

But will not let you debug that install script. I tend to distrust
running such a "hidden" script.

Only in 1.6.1 and later.  The hints will grow, as phones subscribe to them,
one entry per hint, automatically.

[asterisk-users] Cross compiling Asterisk, Dahdi..

[Gordon Henderson]

Is there a proper, documented way to cross compile DAHDI and Asterisk for 
a processor/system other than the one you're currently typing on?

Now.. I have been doing this for some time, but it's been really 
frustrating every time I change/upgrade, etc.

I've just tried to compile DAHDI for an AMD Geode system on my development 
system which is Intel Atom. Building the kernel is easy - been doing that 
for years, but DAHDI is just hard and does the wrong thing.

So I start by hardwiring HOTPLUG to no because my target device doesn't 
support nor need it. Then setting KVERS to be the correct thing, and this 
is picked up by the Makefile, but I really want -march=geode and the only 
way I've found to get this is to edit Kbuild directly. (And comment out 
all the modules I really don't want to build like torisa, xpp, etc. Even 
then it still barfed on the VPMADT032 loader, so I just commented that 
whole section out.

Now, at install time, it's fiddling with system files on my build box that 
it really should not be touching at all - output from make:

[ `id -u` = 0 ] && /sbin/depmod -a 2.6.32.3-dsx-geode || :
install -d /etc/udev/rules.d
build_tools/genudevrules > /etc/udev/rules.d/dahdi.rules
build_tools/genudevrules: line 3: udevinfo: command not found
build_tools/genudevrules: line 7: udevadm: command not found
install -m 644 drivers/dahdi/xpp/xpp.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
for hdr in kernel.h user.h fasthdlc.h wctdm_user.h dahdi_config.h; do \
 install -D -m 644 include/dahdi/$hdr 
/usr/include/dahdi/$hdr; \
 done
rmdir: failed to remove `/usr/include/zaptel': No such file or directory
make: [install-include] Error 1 (ignored)

I don't use udev on my build system, nor my target systems so why is it 
bothering... But I feel there really ought to be a means to tell it that 
it's not building for the local system, so don't fiddle with local 
files...

Bah!

OK. I appreciate that probably no-one actually bothers to compile a custom 
kernel, nor tune dahdi/asterisk to the underlying hardware, and 
probably no-one does a "true" cross compile but even so...

It's just being a frustrating afternoon.

(Although I would appreciate hearing from people who do cross compile 
"properly" for other chips - eg. compile for ARM on an Intel, etc.)

Gordon

app_fax is not a kernel module, it's an Asterisk module. 'lsmod' is
never going to show it.

Hi Gordon

Here is what I'm doing for building dahdi modules on my x86_64 system,
for geode target. In dahdi linux directory:

make KVERS=2.6.33-rc3-git3-sysnux KSRC=/home/jdg/RPM/BUILD/linux

Then install in /tmp/dahdi:
make DESTDIR=/tmp/dahdi ARCH=i386 KVERS=2.6.33-rc3-git3-sysnux
KSRC=/home/jdg/RPM/BUILD/linux install-modules

Then I make a tar of /tmp/dahdi, and extract that archive on the geode
target.

I don't know if it's the proper way to do it, but it works fine for me.

Thanks,

Re: [asterisk-users] Hint for realtime peers

[Deep D]

Hello,

I tried this in asterisk 1.6.1.1 by adding the line exten =>
_XXX,hint,SIP/${EXTEN} to the default context, but it did not work.

I gave the following commands through the manager interface

action: extensionstate
exten: 777

and the response was

Response: Success
Message: Extension Status
Exten: 777
Context: default
Hint: SIP/${EXTEN}
Status: 0

I am always getting a Status: 0 for any value of exten. I think the
variable ${EXTEN} is not being evaluated to its value.

That's not a subscription.  You must actually get a phone to subscribe to
the hint before it is created.

[asterisk-users] Anyone have provisioning documentation for LeadTek devices?

[Eric Chamberlain]

Hi,

A friend has a few hundred deployed LeadTek BVA8055's and needs to bulk 
re-provision them.  There isn't much documentation on the web.  

Anyone have documentation explaining the LeadTek provisioning process and the 
provisioning file format?

Here is what I'm doing for building dahdi modules on my x86_64 system,

make KVERS=2.6.33-rc3-git3-sysnux KSRC=/home/jdg/RPM/BUILD/linux

OK. I'll give that a go - I didn't think ARCH would be picked up.

And you ought to be able to use ARCH=geode as gcc recognises it. Whether 
it actually produces different code remains to be seen, but I feel it's 
good to make the effort.

Kevin ,  Sometimes your about as helpful as passing wind .

How about telling him howto determine if Asterisk has loaded the module 
successfully ?

Maybe even a grep of /var/log/asterisk/debug or 
/var/log/asterisk/messages for app_fax .  Would have helped him more than that 
comment .  Sorry that reply just really rubbed me wrong .

I've found a 'visual only' way of seeing loaded modules under Asterisk 
1.4.21.2 ...

module reload ?  <  Should show those modules available for reload ,  
So 
I expect they have been loaded successfully .

Here's something that would be good a 'module show loaded' command 
showing the user the successfully loaded moduels !?

You could try module show like and hit tab, if app_fax.so is not listed, it
isn't loaded.  Version 1.6, not sure if it works in 1.4.

Users of Asterisk should be able to type 'help' at the Asterisk console
prompt, or do Google searches like "show asterisk modules".

You mean like 'module show'? Or 'module show app_fax.so'? Those commands
already exist.

On my laptop I just used the controlpanel -> network connections , 
marked wireless and build-in card, rightclicked and selected "bridge 
networks".
Then I plugged my ip-phone in the laptop, and my phone was connected via 
wlan.

So at least in Vista it's built in.

Coincidentially, in danish, "oops" is spelled "ups".

It also gives funny images when your packages are delivered by a company 
called "Oops"...

Will show the user a whole bunch of entries or even doing the same 
search at http://www.voip-info.org/ would probably be better .
This would have been a better response .

No ,  As far as I can tell .  'modules show' shows you the WHOLE list 
of 
available modules NOT just the ones in use .  At least that is what appears to 
be shown when I issue that command line .  when I do the 'module reload ?' 
trick I see those that match my asterisk/*.conf entries .

Now as far as the user was concerned the second one mentioned above 
would have shown him that it was either loaded or not .

And either of those lines is what the OP/User was looking for .

Might be true for "dynamic" hints.
But for static hints it's not.

[asterisk-users] Do any providers support speex codec?

[Daniel Clark]

Do any providers support speex codec?

I just searched for a while and couldn't find anything.

I'm looking for both SIP vendors (such as galaxyvoice) and IAX / IAX2
vendors (such as voipjet).

I'm looking for a company that would be cheap for low-volume use.

HOTPLUG is a slightly misleading name. If it is enabled, it means
firmware loading from userspace is enabled in the kernel. If so, drivers
for some digium cards will not include the firmware inside them.

Most system I know support firmware loading. If you don't use those
cards, those drivers will simply be smaller (as they don't include the
firmware blobs). In short: leave this one for automatic detection.

Kbuild should do that for you. Or rather: if you used that for building
the kernel, it should also be used for DAHDI. If this doesn't work, I
suspect your kernel tree is misconfigured.

Reminder: to make Kbuild print the full build lines, use:

  make V=1

You don't use udev at all? In this case those static device files will
actually have to be created on the target system.

I note you didn't really include the commands you used.

Is an explicit ARCH needed? It shouldn't have been there in the first
place. The ARCH is caculated by Kbuild from your config (in the kernel
tree) and there should be no need to provide it (at least as of dahdi
2.2).

Likewise: is KVERS really needed in that line?

ARCH seems to be  needed:

KVERS is not needed.

Thank you, Captain Obvious.  I am trying to explain to the OP what he did
wrong and how to make it work correctly.  He is not using static hints; he
is attempting to use dynamic hints, so an explanation of how static hints
work is not warranted, unless you're going to explain the difference.

If he had a phone subscribe to the dynamic hints and unsubscribe, the hint
would continue to exist until he performed a reload.  This is how dynamic
hints work -- they are created as needed and disappear on reload, if they are
no longer being watched.

If, on the other hand, you are saying that the behavior needs more explanation
or documentation or perhaps the hint needs to be evaluated in more places,
that was not clear.  Were someone to make such a suggestion AFTER
understanding what makes dynamic hints work, that would be a welcome
suggestion, and I also think it would be quite doable.

That's incorrect.  "module show" shows only those modules which are currently
loaded.  BTW, there is also the command "module show like fax", which is much
easier than typing out the whole module name, may show you more modules than
you were aware of, and might be extremely helpful by showing you other
related modules that are already loaded.
