[asterisk-users] Asterisk SIP server on windows

2013-12-04 Thread Ruddy Gbaguidi
Hi all, 

I need to build an application that will be an SIP server program that will
run on Linux and Windows.

The sip server need only some features such as be able to :

-  Register sip endpoints

-  Answer a call and play a local file

-  Make a dial from one channel to another.

 

I know asterisk can be stripped to exactly fit my needs. I would like to
know if there is a way to build it on windows after it has been stripped.

Or do I have other alternatives out there ?

[asterisk-users] Unmute all users in Meetme conference as admin

2013-12-04 Thread Ruddy Gbaguidi
Hi,

I setup an MeetMe conference. 

So, the admin user calls and enter the conference in talk/listen mode.
(Options : dAaxs)

Then other users call the same conference and enters  in muted mode
(options: dlmx)

 

How can the admin user decide, when he is ready to let everybody speaks ?

I didn't find such option in the admin menu.

 

Thanks

[asterisk-users] what is the possible cause of maximum pbx stack exceeded

2013-12-04 Thread covici
Hi.  I am using asterisk 11  svn r401076M and I am getting this warning
at times.  I can't find much doing a google search, so anyone with any
ideas?

I  have looked at the logs, but can find no particular pattern to
indicate where this is happening and the system appears to be otherwise
working, but I am still wondering if something is wrong.  I am also
using freepbx in case there are known issues there --  because some of
these occur during their dialout trunk code.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It all depends on what you are trying to do. In terms of reliability and maintainability I would 
not try to use a windows desktop machine. There are a couple of alternatives. Could you describe 
the desired functionality?

Installing Asterisk natively on Windows is a bit like training a gerbil to 
bark, in terms of effort and reward.  The easiest way to get Asterisk to run on 
a machine that normally would run Windows, is from a live USB distribution.

  If you can use windows 8.1 Pro 64bit. You can use hyper-v and run a 
virtual linux machine (Or the Free Hyper-V Server 2012 R2), VM Ware also 
works well. Load asterisk on that and you are set. This is how we run it at 
a few very small customers as well as my development machines and it works 
great. Best linux builds for Hyper-V we currently have found to be Ubuntu 
and Suse. 

As both a windows and linux guy I have to concur that loading Asterisk on 
windows directly is like putting a V8 on a moped. You may get there, but it 
won't be pretty; It's a lot of work, and it would be hell to maintain. (We 
do not trust it for production applications) 

In all seriousness I have a Asterisk build running on windows and it is 
stable but it is a lot of work to get it there and since it is not 
maintained by the community it is a full task to keep it up to date. We use 
it for in process testing of code that we develop with MS visual studio. If 
not for that I would not bother with Asterisk on Windows there would be no 
value in it. Especially since the current version of Asterisk now works so 
well in virtual environments. 

Good luck
Bryant

Servers that can run Asterisk are so cheap nowadays, unless you are talking 
about huge volumes of traffic.

I'd recommend getting a server and putting on Centos which is tried and tested.

You'll waste less time that way and avoid any unforeseen problems.

Or look for a cloud server to do the job for you.

If you can target windows 8.0 pro or 8.1 pro you can ship a Hyper-V image. 
(This same image would work with Hyper-V on, Hyper-V Server 2012/2012r2 and 
Windows Server 2012/2012r2. 

You would need to write some kind of configuration editor or documentation 
to customize the image to the users network environment.

You could automate the entire process if you were so inclined.
You can fully automate the Hyper-V side of things using PowerShell or 
Dot.Net
The Linux side of things can be automated in a number of ways. We 
personally wrote a windows program that collects information from the user 
and posts it to our databases. The default image then has a script that 
pulls the info down (images uses DHCP to start) and re-writes the asterisk 
configs.

This process is not a small task but if you have the time and budge it can 
work very well. 

Thanks

Re: [asterisk-users] Unmute all users in Meetme conference as admin

2013-12-04 Thread Tech Support
Have you thought of using the app_konference module? You can find it
here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/appkonference. You can configure many
of the options with the dialplan switches, there's a simple but functional
web page to monitor all of the conferences and attendees (mute, unmute,
kick, etc), and a PERL script that's used to control everything such as
logins/logouts/process DTMF, etc. Plus, it doesn't require a timing source.
I really like the ability to modify the PERL script to do what I want. I
pretty much rewrote the whole PERL script for a custom application for a
customer. Right now he routinely handles 100 attendee conferences on some
low-end piece of crap PC without issue, although more memory would be
helpful. We're getting ready to test a bigger server that will accommodate
500 users. Something to consider.

Digium is 100% lost in the map. If they would come up with a Paid version of 
Asterisk, one that would use the .NET framework in Windows, something simple to 
install, they could go public on the product.
Linux has a very steep learning curve. A Windows application that would do 
exactly the same would be a home run. Note: I am a Linux expert user, but it 
took me years to get here. And still, moving from regular RHEL 6.0 to Fedora 20 
(RHEL 7) is a pain in the neck. The .NET framework and Windows server 2012 are 
miles away in terms of friendliness and on equal footing on performance. I 
don´t mean another slow cygwin port, I man a native Asterisk for windows. In 
fact, I would invest on the project if somebody wants to do it.

  Hi all,
 
  I need to build an application that will be an SIP server program that
  will run on Linux and Windows.
 
  The sip server need only some features such as be able to :
 
  - Register sip endpoints
 
  - Answer a call and play a local file
 
  - Make a dial from one channel to another.
 
  I know asterisk can be stripped to exactly fit my needs. I would like
  to know if there is a way to build it on windows after it has been
  stripped.
 
  Or do I have other alternatives out there ?
 
  Servers that can run Asterisk are so cheap nowadays, unless you are
  talking about huge volumes of traffic.
 
  I'd recommend getting a server and putting on Centos which is tried
  and tested.
 
  You'll waste less time that way and avoid any unforeseen problems.
 
  Or look for a cloud server to do the job for you.

Why would they?  They already have it working well enough under Linux.

 Linux has a very steep learning curve.

Only if your brain has been damaged by Windows.  People who have never used 
Windows before tend to get on fairly well with Linux when using it for the 
first time.  And Asterisk has a *way* steeper learning curve than Linux.

 A Windows application that
 would do exactly the same would be a home run. Note: I am a Linux
 expert user, but it took me years to get here.

Yes, it does.  I've been using Linux since it was a curiosity on a single 
floppy disk, and I still have plenty to learn.  But at least nobody is actively 
trying to conceal it from me.

 And still, moving from
 regular RHEL 6.0 to Fedora 20 (RHEL 7) is a pain in the neck. The .NET
 framework and Windows server 2012 are miles away in terms of
 friendliness and on equal footing on performance.

Depends what you mean by friendliness.  Human-readable configuration files 
that I can edit with vi if I have to are friendlier than a drag-and-drool 
interface, by some measurements.

 I don´t mean another
 slow cygwin port, I man a native Asterisk for windows. In fact, I
 would invest on the project if somebody wants to do it.

Asterisk is Free software under the GPL.  Anyone is welcome to package it for 
whatever platform they like.  Nobody has bothered to do it because it's 
actually more effort to persuade Asterisk work on Windows' broken architecture, 
than it is to learn to use a Unix-like system.


TL;DR:  It's not our fault if you believe Microsoft's story that you're too 
stupid to use a real computer.  It's certainly not our fault if you have let 
it come true.

Normally I do not respond to trolls but...

If you want an Asterisk version to run on Windows, go for it.  You are
free to create it yourself.  Most of the folks on this list realize the
Asterisk on Windows is a huge mistake.  If you really believe that this
is such a good idea, go for it and become a bazillionare from your
work.  Then you can come back and say I told you so.  Until then take
the advise of the many good folks on this list that collectively have
many decades of experience and run asterisk on Linux.

IIRC Microsoft no longer invests in the .Net framework which makes it a
bad idea for a product that would live for up to 10 years. Do you really
want to bet your business/company that .Net will be there in 5 to 10 years?

 Linux has a very steep learning curve. A Windows application that
 would do exactly the same would be a home run. 

I find Linux easier than Windows. Installing a package on Linux or
Windows is not the issue. How is a simple 'yum install asterisk' any
more difficult than double clicking on it in Windows? It's what you do
afterwards with the OS and package. Asterisk has a much steeper learning
curve than either. It's easy to mess up the config and suffer the
consequences if the box is Internet facing. Also, Windows has a terrible
reputation when it comes to security. Why would anyone want to use
Windows for an Internet facing service? There's a reason that Google,
Facebook, Twitter and pretty much the rest of the world are powered by
Linux and it's not only because it's cheaper.

Just because you find Windows easier does not make it a good idea.

 The .NET
 framework and Windows server 2012 are miles away in terms of
 friendliness and on equal footing on performance.

I have yet to see a large Telco or ITSP deploy their services on
Windows. A while back I have seen some attempts. It was hilarious to
hear that the servers had to be restarted every few hours. Performance
totally sucked, components would crash and the solution was, even by
telco standards, ridiculously expensive. So no, they are not on equal
footing when it comes to performance (and other aspects).

 I don´t mean another
 slow cygwin port, I man a native Asterisk for windows. In fact, I
 would invest on the project if somebody wants to do it.

If you really want to use Windows then have a look at FreeSWITCH as it's
available on Windows too. Then there is also Lync and 3CX. Good luck
keeping your Windows boxes from getting hacked with all the financial
and other damage it would cause.

Have seen mostly a lot of hq/branch implementations using IPSEC over

private IP VPN's based on HDSL E1's.

Depends on your cost per minute on the PSTN. 

We used to use the Internet for inter-office communications, until our pipes 
started to get really congested (Client hosting) that forced us to use the PSTN 
for quality purposes. The smaller sites are still using OpenVPN/VOIP to each 
other and PSTN back to our Corporate offices with really good results. 

For us, prices are still cheaper then when we were point to point (T1)

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on Windows

2013-12-04 Thread Ruddy Gbaguidi

I never tought this is become a Linux vs Windows fight.
We have been using asterisk on linux from a long time now and happy with 
it.
But some of our customers who has windows in their environment want to 
use our call center software we developed on top of asterisk.

So, the question was :
Did anybody ever tried to isolate the asterisk SIP server/module and 
make it run under Windows ?
Since, asterisk 12 is using pjsip (which is cross platform already), I 
tought it may be possible and wanted advices.


I would love that every single customer switch to Linux and Ubuntu 
tomorrow morning but at the moment, that's not the case.


Thanks.

The .NET
framework and Windows server 2012 are miles away in terms of
friendliness and on equal footing on performance.

I have yet to see a large Telco or ITSP deploy their services on
Windows. A while back I have seen some attempts. It was hilarious to
hear that the servers had to be restarted every few hours. Performance
totally sucked, components would crash and the solution was, even by
telco standards, ridiculously expensive. So no, they are not on equal
footing when it comes to performance (and other aspects).

I don´t mean another
slow cygwin port, I man a native Asterisk for windows. In fact, I
would invest on the project if somebody wants to do it.

If you really want to use Windows then have a look at FreeSWITCH as 
it's

available on Windows too. Then there is also Lync and 3CX. Good luck
keeping your Windows boxes from getting hacked with all the financial
and other damage it would cause.

Patrick

 I never tought this is become a Linux vs Windows fight.
 We have been using asterisk on linux from a long time now and happy with
 it.
 But some of our customers who has windows in their environment want to use
 our call center software we developed on top of asterisk.
 So, the question was :
 Did anybody ever tried to isolate the asterisk SIP server/module and make
 it run under Windows ?
 Since, asterisk 12 is using pjsip (which is cross platform already), I
 tought it may be possible and wanted advices.

 I would love that every single customer switch to Linux and Ubuntu
 tomorrow morning but at the moment, that's not the case.

 Thanks.

 Digium is 100% lost in the map. If they would come up with a Paid
 version of Asterisk, one that would use the .NET framework in Windows,
 something simple to install, they could go public on the product.

 IIRC Microsoft no longer invests in the .Net framework which makes it a
 bad idea for a product that would live for up to 10 years. Do you really
 want to bet your business/company that .Net will be there in 5 to 10
 years?

 Linux has a very steep learning curve. A Windows application that
 would do exactly the same would be a home run.

 I find Linux easier than Windows. Installing a package on Linux or
 Windows is not the issue. How is a simple 'yum install asterisk' any
 more difficult than double clicking on it in Windows? It's what you do
 afterwards with the OS and package. Asterisk has a much steeper learning
 curve than either. It's easy to mess up the config and suffer the
 consequences if the box is Internet facing. Also, Windows has a terrible
 reputation when it comes to security. Why would anyone want to use
 Windows for an Internet facing service? There's a reason that Google,
 Facebook, Twitter and pretty much the rest of the world are powered by
 Linux and it's not only because it's cheaper.

 Just because you find Windows easier does not make it a good idea.

 Note: I am a Linux
 expert user, but it took me years to get here. And still, moving from
 regular RHEL 6.0 to Fedora 20 (RHEL 7) is a pain in the neck.

 Is there a general timeframe for when you think a stable 2.8.0 release will 
 be available?

v2.8.0 will probably be released within a week.

There is a bit more churn on this release cycle due to:
* Accommodating all stakeholders
* Circumstances outside of our control (centos 6.5 kernel backporting)
* Me mis-tagging a couple releases :-P

The dahdi project development philosophy is to strive to keep the
master branch and tagged releases stable and production ready. This
includes the release candidates.

I purchased an Intel BOXD945GCLF2D in June 2009 and it's been running the phone 
system and Samba since then. It uses a TDM-04 to handle 2 POTS lines and SIP 
for everything else. The system is extremly small, but it has always worked 
perfectly except for the day the power supply dies. It's not Jetway, but it is 
Atom.

2013-12-04 Thread Duncan Turnbull
We use Atoms with SSDs for customers and they work well

We have a some with PCI on the motherboards and haven’t had any issue other 
than a single issue where a reinstall of the OS cleared up poor ethernet 
performance. Use almost no power, and with SSDs can almost avoid fans and thus 
moving parts. They are not Jetway motherboards but have used the D525 a lot. 

Just avoid this ethernet controller: Intel 82574L Gigabit controller
