Depending on the technology (IAX or SIP) and the configuration, you can 
choose to have the Asterisk server handle the media (RTP) or not.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk question

[Nguyễn Công]

Hello everyone, I’m new to Asterisk and I have a question. There is a phone 
call between two users, then they are talking to each other directly or by the 
server. I mean all packets from the user A to user B will be send directly to 
each other or will those packets from user A must be send to server and server 
will send to user B.

Thanks.

The bad news:  You need a GSM modem to send SMS messages.

The good news:  It is not so.

You can send SMS messages on POTS or ISDN lines
See the voip-wiki about it

I've seen this with one of our sip-trunks. Our provider used opensips
for that platform I think. If had the same account registered in two
asterisk-servers and they answered the call at the same time, audio was
from both asterisk-servers and the phone from pstn, like a 3-way conference.

I also watched a presentation about rtp ports, mentioned on this list
some time ago, explaining quite a bit on rtp ports and security:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2013-January/277342.html
http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2010/27c3-4193-en-having_fun_with_rtp.html

So my guess is that if you get two devices using the same port, or one
device that don't stop sending, you will hear that injected in your call.

The bad news:  You need a GSM modem to send SMS messages.

The good news:  Almost any old mobile phone which can accept a USB cable can 
be used as a GSM modem, even that old one you've had kicking around in a 
drawer for ages.  Buy a cheap SIM and the minimum amount of calling credit the 
carrier will let you have.  Plug the phone into the computer, check for TTY-
type devices, open one with minicom and see what happens.

If typing
AT
gets you an
OK
then you're probably good to go.

Note that not every mobile phone supports sending SMS messages in text mode, 
but they all support PDU mode.  Also, you'll probably have to make some 
separate arrangement for keeping track of how much credit you have; then use 
the last messageworth of it to text yourself to remind you to get more.


I swear I'll write this up as an Interesting Project, one of these days.

For low volume stuff, you can simply send an email

Let's start out by figuring out what hardware you have. Is
Asterisk connected to the PSTN? What is physically delivering the
SMS to the carriers?

Also, when I run `core show application SMS` it talks about some
software called smsq. Are you running that software?

I'm not well informed, but it appears that you need to (at a minimum)

this process. Google "ETSI ES 201 912".


Having looked at Flowroute, they don't appear to mention SMS anywhere

will not provide what you need to send an SMS.

It can happen with analog dahdi calls.  If this is the case, start

You are placing a call *to* Asterisk, therefore the handset, like most will 
show the number you dialed.

I don't know how you would get the CallerID to update during a connected SIP 
session. I'm no SIP expert, but Googling around - I don't think it's possible, 
at least easily...

It depends which base station you're using - some of the earlier ones 
only supported one or two simultaneous SIP calls (remember dialling 
counts as a call, even if it's not answered).


I seem to recall the N300IP (the one we use) supports 3 concurrent SIP 
calls.


The easiest workaround is probably to create a fourth SIP account 
called '102_103_104' or something that's set to ring all 3 handsets on 
the Gigaset web interface. You can then Dial(SIP/Handset_102_103_104) 
 from Asterisk instead.


That make sens, good idea, thanks ;-)

Before I read your message I already splitted the call by calling at 
first the 2 most important handsets and in case of no answer, the third 
one with one of the first ones. Will apply your proposal if my setup 
isn't convenient to the customer.


Thanks for your help
