[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on Solaris 10 (AMD Opteron, Sun Fire X2100)

2006-02-19 Thread Alexander Burke

Hello, world!

I'm considering running Asterisk 1.2.4 on Solaris 10 on a Sun Fire 
X2100 server or two (Opteron CPU, nForce 4 chipset), and apparently 
this works. I've read that the Zaptel package won't work on anything 
other than Linux, since it's intended to hook into the Linux kernel 
in the form of a kernel module. This concerns me, since I've read 
that ztdummy, the timing-source component of Zaptel, is required for 
the music-on-hold and conferencing functions of Asterisk to function.


So, with this in mind, is there any way to run a complete Asterisk 
solution on Solaris 10 (including music-on-hold and conferencing)? If so, how?


Thanks in advance!

Because of a few reasons, actually:

(1) The remote hardware management options available for the X2100 
work better (or only, I'm not sure which) under Solaris, and they 
seem to *really* kick ass. Plus, being Sun-engineered, the X2100 
should keep working until it's completely obsolete, and then some.


(2) I know someone who knows Solaris inside-out and backwards, 
blindfolded, while hung upside-down, and codes Bourne shell and C in 
his sleep; this is vaguely reminiscent of www.chucknorrisfacts.com. 
I'm quite sure this will come in handy when (not if) something 
breaks, giving him the opportunity to make some money and giving me 
the opportunity to reduce my downtime. :)


(3) I'd like to learn Solaris, and being SysV-based like Linux, it 
shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

[Asterisk-Users] Fwd: Asterisk on Solaris 10 (AMD Opteron, Sun Fire X2100)

2006-02-20 Thread Alexander Burke

Hello all,

I really appreciate the replies I've gotten about this so far 
(especially the support for wanting to run it on Solaris!).


The core issue seems to have been missed, though -- is there any way 
to run a complete Asterisk solution on Solaris 10 (including 
music-on-hold and conferencing)? This probably comes down to a few issues:


- Is ztdummy (a component of Zaptel) *really* required for MoH and 
conferencing support?
- I've heard rumblings about "zaprtc" being a potential replacement. 
Is it a *real* replacement? Will it work on Solaris 10? If not, what will?
- I *know* people have got to be running Asterisk on Solaris 10 (but 
I don't know who they are, unfortunately!). If you happen to be a 
member of that esteemed clique, could you please let me know how you 
got ztdummy working, or what you used as a replacement? I really 
don't see people going without MoH and conferencing in a "real" setup.


Thanks again!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Multiple TDM400P's in a single machine

Hello, Marc!

Can someone give me a definite answer as to wether or not you can

According to "Asterisk: The Future Of Telephony":

IRQ latency
Interrupt request (IRQ) latency is basically the delay between the moment a
peripheral card (such as a telephone interface card) requests that the CPU stop
what it's doing and the moment when the CPU actually responds and is ready to
handle the task. Asterisk's peripherals (especially the Zaptel cards) 
are extremely

intolerant of IRQ latency.

Linux has historically had problems with its ability to service IRQs
quickly; this problem has caused enough trouble for audio developers
that several patches have been created to address this shortcoming. So
far, there has been some mild controversy over how to incorporate
these patches into the Linux kernel.

Because the Digium cards require so much, it is generally recommended that
only one Digium card be run in a system. If you require more 
connectivity than a
single card can provide, either replace your existing card with one 
of higher density,

or add another server to your environment.*

* Many people report that Sangoma cards are more robust when it comes 
to dealing with unpredictable motherboard
chipsets, and thus can handle sharing motherboard IRQ resources. 
Regardless, it is still worth considering
using multiple servers, as the redundancy that can be gained from 
this strategy can quickly offset the cost.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Fwd: Asterisk on Solaris 10 (AMD Opteron, Sun Fire X2100)

2006-02-21 Thread Alexander Burke

Hello, Steve!

At 03:55 AM 02/21/2006, you wrote:

ztdummy was only used for timing. Linux 2.6 provides this function in
the kernel and I assume Solaris already has timing functions there.


Page 36 of Asterisk: The Future Of Telephony 
(O'Reilly Press) states that you either require a 
Digium PCI card to provide clocking, or ztdummy 
if you "lack the PCI hardware required to provide 
timing". It goes on to mention that a UHCI USB 
controller was required pre-2.6 but now that 
there's a 1kHz clocking source in the kernel, 
ztdummy will attach to that instead, thus 
eliminating the requirement for the UHCI USB controller.


While it doesn't explicity say so, it seems to 
very strongly imply that either a PCI card or 
ztdummy are *required* for some Asterisk 
functionality (namely music-on-hold and 
conferencing, apparently). Is this actually not the case?


Just for reference, here's the section in 
question, verbatim (copy-and-paste from the PDF):


The ztdummy Driver
In Asterisk, certain applications and features 
require a timing device in order to operate

(Asterisk won’t even compile them if no timing device is found). All Digium PCI
hardware provides a 1-kHz timing interface. If 
you lack the PCI hardware required to
provide timing, the ztdummy driver can be used as 
a timing device. On Linux 2.4 kernel–

based distributions, ztdummy must use the clocking provided by the UHCI USB
controller. The driver looks to see that the 
usb-uhci module is loaded and that the kernel

version is at least 2.4.5. Older kernel versions are incompatible with ztdummy.
On a 2.6 kernel–based distribution, ztdummy does not require the use of the USB
controller. (As of v2.6.0, the kernel now 
provides 1-kHz timing with which the driver
can interface; thus, the USB controller hardware 
requirement is no longer necessary.)

The default Makefile configuration does not create ztdummy. To compile ztdummy,
you must remove a comment marker from the 
Makefile. Open it in your favorite text

editor and look for the following line:
MODULES=zaptel tor2 torisa wcusb wcfxo wctdm \
ztdynamic ztd-eth wct1xxp wct4xxp wcte11xp # ztdummy
Remove the hash* (#) symbol from in front of 
“ztdummy,” save the file, and compile

Zaptel as usual.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Recommended rack-mountable server anyone?

I've been doing a lot of research into a decent server for Asterisk
but I seem to be running and circles and now I am turning to you. The
issue I have is it needs to be rack mountable (so a Dell SC430 isn't
going to work) and preferably have 3 pci ports. The problem that I
seem to be running into is that when I look at servers from Dell or
IBM or the like they only seem to support PCI-X which (from what I
understand) does not support the Digium cards that we already have and
that they still make. So if anyone has a suggestion or has a server
they rather prefer for it's reliability, expandability, etc, please
recommend it!


As I understand it, PCI-X is fully backwards-compatible with PCI (as 
in the presence of a PCI card on a PCI-X bus will cause that bus to 
drop back to regular PCI mode). If you want something super-reliable 
which can run Linux, Solaris, or Windows, and you require three PCI 
slots, this may interest you:

(Click on the "Gallery" link for pretty pictures.)

I'm seriously considering two X2100s (because I don't need four disks 
or any PCI cards):

http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x2100/

These boxes will run Solaris, Linux, or (ack) Windows, and their 
remote monitoring/management support is second to none.

My knowledge of SS7 is limited, but this has to do with opening the

before a call-alerting event. This is also the case where a SIT is

[Asterisk-Users] Custom Extension halting execution upon caller hanging up

2006-06-17 Thread Alexander Burke

Hello, list!

I'm having some trouble with [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.7(?), Asterisk 1.2.5, inasmuch as 
my custom extension is not continuing execution when the caller hangs 
up. (Please excuse the sterilized output.)


Here's how it's supposed to go:

exten => 2,8,Monitor(wav,${TIMESTAMP})
exten => 2,9,Dial(SIP/Provider/8005551212)
exten => 2,10,Macro(record-cleanup)

If the caller hangs up before the callee does, execution of the 
custom extension halts and does not continue to priority 10 
(record-cleanup), where sox is used to reverse the audio files and 
then mix them then reverse them again so they'll be in sync (since 
inbound audio only starts from call-answered but outbound audio 
starts from the beginning of ringback).


Asterisk provides this debug output to the console (internal 
extension 101 is the caller):

-- Called Provider/8005551212
-- SIP/Provider-993d is making progress passing it to SIP/101-1666
-- SIP/Provider-993d answered SIP/101-1666

The call proceeds normally, but then Asterisk spits this out the 
moment the caller hangs up first:
  == Spawn extension (custom-extension, 2, 9) exited non-zero on 
'SIP/101-1666'


How can I prevent the extension from bailing before I have a chance 
to clean up the recording?


Thanks in advance!

exten => h,n,System(mv /some/file /some/other/dir/)

Wait() doesn't want to seem to wait! So instead I tried:

exten => h,n,System(sleep 5; mv /tmp/${CALLFILENAME} 
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/)


This only executes sleep, not mv. How can I make it wait before 
moving the file?


Thanks in advance!

Re: [asterisk-users] Waiting before executing System command

2006-10-30 Thread Alexander Burke

Hello, Moses!

At 09:20 PM 27/10/2006, you wrote:

what about

exten => h,n,System(mycommand /some/file /some/other/dir/)

Where "mycommand" is your custom shell script to sleep before moving the file.


That would work, but I'm trying to avoid kludges like that. Hence my 
question about doing it entirely within the dialplan.


Any ideas?

[asterisk-users] Off-Site Extensions That Would Show As In-Use?

2006-11-08 Thread Alexander Burke




Hello, list!
I'd like to create an extension that points to an offsite location (a
number on the PSTN), the purpose of which would be to see if that
offsite location is still on a call forwarded to it by Asterisk. This
way a receptionist could choose to transfer calls to a mobile phone
only if it's finished with the last call the receptionist forwarded to
it.

If I configure a custom extension with the destination
SIP/TrunkName/NXXNXX, the calls transfer fine but don't show as
busy using the Flash Operator Panel (as an example).

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

  Are you trying to get FOP to monitor
the SIP account that you are using to dial the cell phone on ?

The SIP extension, yes. So, as long as a call that has been forwarded
to that cell phone is still in progress, that extension should still
show busy.

Thanks again,
Alex
