[asterisk-users] Problem with Caller ID when receiving hidden number in via DAHDI and redirecting out via SIP

2013-10-28 Thread Henrik Westerberg
Hi,

We have a system with both ISDN trunks and SIP. We receive incoming calls on 
both but always dial out via SIP.
When dialing out the caller id is set like this:

exten => _X.,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=${CC_ORIGNUM})
exten => _X.,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${CC_ORIGNAME})
exten => _X.,n,Dial(${CC_DIALSTRING}, 60, em)

This always works fine on SIP and on ISDN as well when the number is not hidden.
But for some reason the setting of the caller id does not work when receiving 
calls from hidden numbers.

The from address in the outgoing SIP looks like this:

From: "Anonymous" 

Does anyone know why this is happening, is there a way to go around it?

Regards,
Henrik

[asterisk-users] Bus error, Asterisk crash when user leaves a message (ODBC voicemail)

2013-10-28 Thread Hoggins!
Hello list,

My system behaves in an odd manner, and I can't find why.
When users leave a message on the voicemail, once the message is
recorded and the user hangs up, Asterisk crashes.

I can't figure out when it started to behave like this.

Here is the extract of the dialplan where it occurs :

exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,n,Playback(radiom-misenrelation)
exten => s,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=STD RADIOM ${CALLERID(name)})
exten => s,n,Wait(2)
exten => s,n,Dial(IAX2/yomama-out/standard&SIP/standard1,30,mTt)
exten => s,n,Playback(radiom-repondeur)
exten => s,n,VoiceMail(1234@default,s)
exten => s,n,Hangup()

Here is the backtrace PasteBin : http://ur1.ca/fy7nv

It has been generated following the instructions found at :
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Getting+a+Backtrace

Strangely, I'm absolutely sure that the DONT_OPTIMIZE flag is properly
set (I recompiled Asterisk from scratch, making sure this was enabled),
you will still see some "" values.

Should I post this on the asterisk-dev mailing-list, or directly into
the issue tracker ?

Thanks !

Hoggins!

[asterisk-users] Tired of dropouts and garbled phone calls - where to go next?

2013-10-28 Thread Eddie Mikell
All,

The users in our organization are well, quite frankly, sick of phone
service that is being provided.  The choppy phone calls, and drop outs are
detrimental to our sales force.

I've tried about everything I can think of.

Moved the asterisk server from VM machine to dedicated machine

More than enough bandwidth

Setting 802.1p = 7

Set Dedicated voice traffic 35% of bandwidth.

Not sure what option would be the best


Put analog lines in the conference room to avoid the dropouts - leave the
sip lines in place for day to day use

Hire a consultant

Ditch the system and buy a pre-packaged system - RingCentral or some such.

There are no local asterisk professionals who can help, and we are a little
leery of opening up our system to outside consultants.

Anyone else face the above, and finally abandoned Asterisk for a commercial
system?

We have 167 users.
I use Grandstream GXP 2100 on the desktop and Polycom ip6000 for the
conference rooms.

Suggestions welcome.

Best

Eddie

Does the garbled audio and dropouts only occur on outside calls, or do you 
get them on calls between extensions? How is your phone service delivered 
to your site?

If the extension to extension calls are clear, you need to be looking at 
your phone service and how you connect to it. If your local extensions are 
not clear, then you need to look at your asterisk implementation and your 
network.

If your incoming circuits are delivered via SIP, are you sure you have end 
to end QoS between your office and your phone provider? You can set all 
the QoS you want on the packets as they leave your network, but if your 
provider isn't honoring the QoS packets, then you can easily have audio 
issues. One of my locations has SIP service provided over a DSL line from 
the SIP provider. Just last week, the DSL line went down. We routed the 
calls out our standard internet connection and while it did work, we had 
audio dropouts (though only on incoming audio, the other end could hear us 
just fine). As soon as the DSL line was fixed and we routed back over 
their network, all the audio cleared up. It is the difference between low 
ping times and good QoS and higher ping times and providers who may not 
honor QoS.--

Re: [asterisk-users] Tired of dropouts and garbled phone calls - where to go next?

2013-10-28 Thread Ron Wheeler

I am reaching the same level of frustration.
I have tried to find the source of the problems.
We have IAX2 to our VoIP provider and SIP phones attached to the 
Asterisk - No analogue.
We have a very lightly loaded 60 Mbs cable link to the Internet that 
tests pretty close to that most of the time.


I have not found any good tools to track down the causes of poor voice 
quality.

In my case, I have good incoming quality and terrible quality going out.
That is, I can hear people perfectly well but they complain that my 
voice drops out and is garbled regardless of who places the call.
As a result,  I use Skype for all of my calls and if someone calls me, I 
call them back on Skype if they have any problems.
I don't understand why Skype works so well and Asterisk works so poorly 
on the same environment.

I don't have any problems with IAX, but I hear some do.

Bandwidth is less important than the overall quality of the internet link, 
latency and jitter. Either way, there is no QoS on the internet, all bets are 
off.

The codec can matter too. What are you using?



I have not found any good tools to track down the causes of poor voice quality.
In my case, I have good incoming quality and terrible quality going out.

Oh, is your cable connection assymetric? Upload smaller than download? If so, 
that correlates to terrible audio, right?

I'd not shoot asterisk yet. I'd focus on the internet connection and it's 
components (cable modem) first.

I use asterisk all over the place. Mostly connected to PRI's and Carrier 
provided SIP trunks, with internet SIP trunks as backup. I get complaints on 
the Internet based SIP trunks sometimes, never on other other two.

I'd ask most of these questions of the OP too. Overall telephony design matters.

Asterisk is a swiss army knife, you should either know how to use it or
rely on ready made software which control routing of calls through variable
bit rates (skype does that very effectively)

So the key here for you to research upon from those several hundred results
is "variable bit rate codec negotiations"

As stated in previous replies if you haven't already I would certainly try 
to isolate the problem, e.g., are extension to extension calls good, is 
the problem only on outside calls etc.


We are starting our 4th year of VoIP service and have had two seemingly 
similar episodes to yours during that time.  We are on a non-symmetric 
cable connection, 20/4 (I believe).  After a few days of "crappy" audio I 
started looking for some way to characterize/correlate bad audio with 
something I could measure.  I found iperf (http://iperf.sourceforge.net/) 
to be a free and easy starting point, which actually turned out to be all 
I needed.


I simply ran a "server" instance on our "cloud" server roughly 1K miles 
away and a "client" instance locally.  I used the command line swithces 
that forced udp mode.  This allowed me to see jitter and packet loss in 
both directions.  We had terrible packet loss in the outbound direction. 
This didn't show up in normal browsing, emailing etc., kinds of things as 
I suspect TCP retries masked the problem.  With a little persistence with 
the cable company the second tech found a bad "tap" (I believe) outside at 
the cable drop.  Replacing that solved our issue for almost two years.


The next time this happened iperf showed a similar packet loss problem. 
This time it turned out to be "noise in the system" according to the cable 
tech.  He said it could be from any number of sources but a different team 
would be out to hunt it down the next day.  In the mean time he changed 
out our old Moto SB5101 modem for a more modern DOCSIS 3.0 modem.  The 
multiple channel bonding that it offered was much better at punching 
through the noise.  That change alone ended crappy audio as well as packet 
loss as shown by iperf.--

I had the very
same problems. My users were ready to murder me. 

I've tried whatever I
found relevant, and had no success. ISP was telling me that it was my
problem, everything's ok from their point of view (do they ever say
opposite?). 

As a result, I've changed the ISP and everything became
perfect. I've spent 2 months fighting invisible enemy, but sometimes you
just have to stop trying everything possible and move to impossible
options.

You probably need to break the problem down into more specific issues.

Does every call suffer or is it just some?
Is the CPU overworked at all and are calls being transcoded or all the same 
codec?
Is it time of day affected?
What load is on the network at the same time?
Do you have monitoring tools such as smoke ping tell you the network looks so 
you can match to issues?
Call drop outs suggest network issues or upset hardware, you shouldn’t be 
getting call drop outs if you have enough bandwidth and low jitter

We have found hardware issues before on hardware and the next box worked fine. 
Testing the network performance to the SIP provider to see jitter and packet

>>  More than enough bandwidth
Need both up and down - if you are G711 then its about 128K per channel, if you 
have about 20 simultaneous channels you need about 2M both directions, however 
if its a bandwidth issue you should be fine testing calls when the network load 
is quiet. If you are using GSM etc you need a lot less bandwidth. 
The issue is often the upstream as many services are asymmetric but voip needs 
symmetry. You are sharing with email, cloud apps, vpns and all other stuff so 
make sure there is no congestion on the uplink. 

Buy a link just for voip is often easier than QOS and these days not very 
costly.

How are you doing this? Mikrotik routers have a good queue mechanism that works 
reasonably well I have found, but the main thing is to test your up and down 
bandwidth and check it stays available under other loads.

This suggests to me that you may have congestion problems in your
"upstream" traffic flow.

Setting QoS on the packets may not help, if whatever router you are
using for Internet connectivity isn't managing the traffic flow well.
In my experience, you need to do two things:

-  Make sure that the traffic with QoS for low latency, is placed
   in a separate transmission queue on the router from "bulk" traffic
   (e.g. web service, file transfer).

-  Make sure that your router uses a "traffic shaping" system, to
   ensure that data isn't being submitted to the network interface
   faster than it can actually be transmitted by the *slowest*
   link in the path to your Internet provider.

A lot of routers, switches, and network interface drivers these days
have a lot of buffering.  This is a mixed blessing.  Unless you are
careful, a burst of low-priority (bulk) traffic can be transmitted
into your switch/router, and fill up a bunch of the buffer... by the
time the system "knows" that you have some audio-QoS traffic to send,
there's a whole bunch of data ahead of it in some network router or
switch (or even the ring-buffer in a network interface card) and there's
no way for your audio data to "jump ahead" of the bulk data in order to
be delivered quickly.

Ideally, your system should send data upstream at a rate which never
"bursts" up to, or above your link's sustained data transmission rate.
You want the buffers in the "upstream" equipment to remain as empty
as possible.

For background reading on this, look up the "Bufferbloat" problem
and project, and the "Linux ultimate traffic shaper" scripts.
They may not be directly applicable to your problem but may
explain some of what you are seeing.

Bandwidth is less important than the overall quality of the internet

all bets are off.


The codec can matter too. What are you using?

G711




I have not found any good tools to track down the causes of poor 
voice quality.

In my case, I have good incoming quality and terrible quality going out.
Oh, is your cable connection assymetric? Upload smaller than download? 
If so, that correlates to terrible audio, right?

Just ran a test 50 Mbps  download 10Mbps upload. Should be enough I hope.


That is, I can hear people perfectly well but they complain that my 
voice drops out and is garbled regardless of who places the call.
As a result,  I use Skype for all of my calls and if someone calls

I don't understand why Skype works so well and Asterisk works so

Googling "Asterisk poor audio quality" return several hundred

I'd not shoot asterisk yet. I'd focus on the internet connection and

Good idea. I am sure that you are right but what to test and how are not

I use asterisk all over the place. Mostly connected to PRI's and 
Carrier provided SIP trunks, with internet SIP trunks as backup. I get 
complaints on the Internet based SIP trunks sometimes, never on other 
other two.


I'd ask most of these questions of the OP too. Overall telephony 
design matters.
