[asterisk-users] T.38 Digium Fax Driver Success on Fail

2011-01-16 Thread Elliot Murdock
Hello!

The T.38 Digium Fax Driver sometimes responds with a successful
sending of a fax, when in fact, the fax did not go through.

1. Where does this problem lie?
2. How to go about fixing it.

Thanks,
Elliot

 I did put that just now, but I still get the same warning.

Have you tried 'dahdi restart' ?

The output of dahdi show channels is just the header line with no

Hello,
   

Hi

[...]
I am sure there are RTP packets losses somewhere, except RTP debug in
the asterisk CLI, how can i determine where the problem come from ?
   

[...]

You don't tell which protocol (SIP, IAX, H323) nor which asterisk 
version. FYI Asterisk 1.6.2.15 in iax had audio quality problems, solved 
in 1.6.2.16.


If you have the possibility, connect directly a phone to the server, eg 
Device - LAN (no MPLS) - Asterisk. Check also if a call to echo test has 
the same bad quality.

I am looking for the card that does not need an electrical power, which one? Is

 PS: Bilal: You have asked a nearly unanswerable question.

If it isn't working, get a refund.  That is what I had to do.  I
bought three or four licenses and faxing was about 50% - 50%

I payed for it because I though it would be one less thing to worry
about.  Boy was I wrong.

A couple of days later, the complaints started pouring in, all the way
up to the CEO of a billion dollar company.

It made me look really bad.

I gave Digium root access and they still couldn't find anything wrong
and then just gave up and closed the ticket.  Fax show stats had a
whole bunch of statistical numbers that didn't add up.

Lesson learned.  IAXmodem and Hylafax.  Over that I always recommend a
few POTS lines for 911 and faxing, most clients are cool with that
once you explain that there could be a liability issue.

Thanks,
Steve T

Bilal,

The only telephony cards that require a power connector are those with FXS 
ports for plugging in analog telephones as extensions. Any of the E1 cards you 
are looking at will not require any additional power beyond what the 
motherboard provides to the slot.

Well... Looks like he's trying to use a streaming MOH solution like an online 
radio station or something, so the files are irrelevant.  Too bad the original 
post didn't specify that.  I still think there is a different source selected 
for the call queue than for the rest of the system.


Sorry for the top post... Blackberry won't do it any other way.

[James M Miller] 

Well one would think that if you configure the Music on Hold feature by
setting streams for it to pull from, it should play it no matter how the
phone is dialed.

Meaning if I dial another extension on the network, I should hear the MOH
since I have it programmed with streams.  However what is occurring is it is
only playing when you are placed into a queue.  Once someone picks up the
line, it starts playing the default again if that person places the person
on hold.

One would think that it would play MOH no matter what if you have the
streams programmed and override the defaults, at least that's what I'd like
for it to do.

Regards,
James

Re: [asterisk-users] Music on Hold not working?

2011-01-16 Thread Warren Selby
MOH plays the default class unless specified by a channel variable to play a 
different one. In queues.conf you can specify the MOH class on a queue by queue 
basis, but that's the hold music for someone waiting to be answered. Once an 
agent answers, if they put someone on hold they'll be put into the default MOH 
class unless a channel variable is specified beforehand. 

Thanks,

 Well one would think that if you configure the Music on Hold feature by
 setting streams for it to pull from, it should play it no matter how the
 phone is dialed.
 
 Meaning if I dial another extension on the network, I should hear the MOH
 since I have it programmed with streams.  However what is occurring is it is
 only playing when you are placed into a queue.  Once someone picks up the
 line, it starts playing the default again if that person places the person
 on hold.
 
 One would think that it would play MOH no matter what if you have the
 streams programmed and override the defaults, at least that's what I'd like
 for it to do.

 James

Re: [asterisk-users] Music on Hold not working?

2011-01-16 Thread James Miller
That's what I'm wanting to change. I want it to stream 100% of the time no 
matter if the person is in queue or if an agent has answered.

Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Music on Hold not working?

MOH plays the default class unless specified by a channel variable to play a 
different one. In queues.conf you can specify the MOH class on a queue by queue 
basis, but that's the hold music for someone waiting to be answered. Once an 
agent answers, if they put someone on hold they'll be put into the default MOH 
class unless a channel variable is specified beforehand.

Did you create /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/stream/stream.mp3? Did you

Since digium is apparently blind to users of their Free Fax for 
Asterisk, does anyone have advice on how to report a crashing problem 
with res_fax_digium and Asterisk 1.8.2 ?


I have detailed logs/reports and a backtrace ready, but I have no idea

Sorry for the top-post, on my phone...

Then change the settings in the default class to what you want, or set a 
channel variable at the start of the call for the MusicOnHold class you want.

I don't believe Digium is blind to its users: Users of Free Fax For
Asterisk are not entitled to any Digium technical support [1].
Purchasing a license key will give you access to them.

Alternatively, you can generating an unoptimized backtrace [2] and
posting the results to the mailing list, seeing if any member of the
community has also had an issue.

Re: [asterisk-users] Top Posting

2011-01-16 Thread James Miller
I hate to disagree but I find it much, much easier to follow conversations when 
the newest reply is on top.  I find it too time consuming to scroll through a 
long message just to find out someone left a three word reply.

As I am on my blackberry more than I am at a pc, if I don't see the reply as 
soon as I open the message it gets deleted without being read.  Time is money 
and I don't have time to scroll through every message.

I will agree that sometimes it is helpful to make replies at the bottom and I 
will attempt to keep the peace by posting at the bottom when I can, but top 
posting is easier and more clean to read than having 100 lines of  and broken 
lines. 

Warmest regards,
James

When you get over 500 emails a day on your blackberry you have make a decision 
on what is or is not worth reading at that moment.

Its not lazy at all its cutting through the fluff and finding the emails worth 
while.  When inside outlook you don't have the hot key b to scroll to the 
bottom so again, I'd have to scroll down. Add up the time it takes per email x 
500 emails, you loose considerable amount of productivity.

Top posting has its useful place as well as bottom posting.

This weekend, i set up a new system running Asterisk 1.8.2 on Debian 
5.0.7 where the benchmark told me to use 
res_fax_digium-1.8.0_1.2.1-core2_32 (i also tried generic_32 but that 
crashed as well).


Asterisk correctly detects the fax and transfers to the fax context. 
But moments after ReceiveFax is called, asterisk crashes, with no tif

I have several files including backtraces and config files at

Do you want your replys to be read, or dont you care?  As for lazyness,
most bottom posters dont seem to bother to snip.

Peoples email clients, work habits and environment mean that people to
work the way thats comfortable to them.  You want your mails read, you
work with them, not get on a soap box and say YOU MUST BOTTOM POST. 

My own view (and I have been using email since 1994 is top posting is
best, but I am willing to bottom post, though usually I just delete or
dont bother to read the majority.

We obviously have all our own opinions about being on top or bottom. 
And it boils down to personal preference obviously.


I think in all cases, top posting is by far superior.  But I think the 
battle will continue ad infinitum.


One, because of speedups in finding the most recent content which will 
always be on the top.


Two, with the new content on top, reading list posts from any phone 
becomes really easy.  If you have a particular thread you're following, 
you can quickly look at the new reply without having to do anything 
other than open the email!  I don't know of any phone that's 'smart' 
enough to auto scroll to the bottom when you open up a list post where 
someone has bottom posted.

Surely there is some mail client smart enough to be able to flip around 
the levels of indenting so most recent is top or bottom.
If not quit bitching and make one - I will continue top posting since I 
don't seem to be alone in preferring it.

In outlook, one would assume you're using a pc. You can press the end
key. You get 500 emails per day on your blackberry and you have time to
read this list?

The whole I get so many emails argument never impresses me. Either (a)
you should hire an assistant, (b) weed out useless emails, or (c)
prioritize with filters.

Again, this is probably useless to convey. I believe in bottom posting.
You in top. Let's not justify it with pointless arguments and turn it
into some sort of religious war (like Ubuntu vs. CentOS).

Looks like a problem related to ast_verbose(), without looking at the

 Hi,
 
 I thought this kind of discussion didn't exists in asterisk list.
 I guess most tech list members will argue on top-vs.-bottom subject at
 some point :) 
 
 anton

It only exists when someone starts the discussion.  The top posters never
start it.

Bottom posting wouldn't be bad if the posters trimmed all but the message
they are replying to from the reply.
(See what I did?)  Top posting puts the recent replay clearly as the first
thing on the screen.  

I often have messages with 5 to 10 screens of previous posts to wade through
to get to the bottom.

If repliers would trim old content from their replies, it would save a lot
of readers time and make bottom posting very efficient.

I went through this type of discussion 20-25 years ago because we were all
on 2400 to 14,400 baud modems, and trimming was demanded.

Then Rich Text and HTML came along and you should have heard the screaming
about bloated messages.  Six-ten line signatures with ascii-art were not
really appreciated either.

When you get over 500 emails a day on your blackberry you have make a
decision on what is or is not worth reading at that moment.
 

Clearly, then, the problem is your blackberry.  Ditch it.  Or stop
subscribing to list email on a device which is clearly not up to the task.

   

Pretty funny.

We have done it this way for decades, so we can't even consider another 
way. Or even tolerate both ways or even more!


Especially for a group who think so highly of themselves and their skill 
in creating, innovation and ( sometimes ) thinking out of the box .


Also interesting that the rule was only added after this discussion 
got so heated last year.


Some of the loudest complainers NEVER trim the list footers, which 
wastes even more archive space than this thread.


The world evolves, technology evolves, perhaps even some users will 
evolve as well?


If ones brain and e-mail client can't handle both top and bottom posts, 
then DITCH IT!

Or would you say that since it's inconvenient for you to clean up your dog
poo, you shouldn't have to pick it up?  And leave it where the rest of us
might step in it?  If you cannot be bothered to clean up after your dog,
maybe you shouldn't be taking your dog to the park.  Similarly, we may not
be able to fine you for failing to obey list rules, but the rules still
apply to you, like it or not.
