[asterisk-users] checking if a phone number is UP
hi, We have a phone number from third party provider which is used for inbound calls. How could I monitor if this *phone number* is reachable? the initial idea doesn't sound elegant: - on my SIP server I set couple seconds of ringing before Answer(). - the monitoring server calls to that phone number for few seconds, checks if it hears the ringing and hangs up the call. ** I use Nagios to check if my services are UP using check_sip, but it this situation I'm more concerned about my DID provider than my server. It's just like pinging a phone number. Thank you, Aurimas -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] checking if a phone number is UP
Brilliant! `log the call and busy out` is the thing I was missing. thank you so much On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 4:59 PM, Bryant Zimmerman brya...@zktech.com wrote: We designed our solution the following way. We have several land line numbers hooked to an asterisk testing server. The testing server places one call every X seconds per line to a number we want to test . We cycle through each number in our testing pool. Each number on average is tested once every 30 min this can be adjusted by the dial rate and the number of test lines in the outbound calling pool. When a call comes from one of our test numbers our inbound dial plans log the call and busy's out. So the test call is not answered and no call charge is assessed per carrier. To verify that a test succeeded the testing server checks the database after it gets a busy. By design if a call comes in it is checked before any line counts are tested so this method never effects the customers line counts. We also have a full audio/dtmf test that is run once a day per number. This means that the first test call of the day is actually answered and a DTMF and audio hand shake is done. Both ends log the result in a database. We catch vendor issues with these methods and it allows us to open tickets and resolve issues before a customer knows there might be an issue. Our vendors hate the system as we tend to catch any hiccup they may be having as well. Several of them are mistified how we can open tickets on issues consistently before they know they have an issue.

Re: [asterisk-users] Is this doable?
I think you might want to split your questions first. this might work from local ISP network, but in my experience it might depend on provider. 1. You can't have multiple externip, but it's not necessary to run two Asterisk instances, because you can set routes to different destinations via particular interfaces. On Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 2:48 AM, Josh mojo1...@privatedemail.net wrote: I am trying to configure Asterick, having the following system setup on the Asterick server: * eth0 faces the external Internet interface, *but* it does not have IP address (it has a private one given to it by my ISP's DHCP server); * eth1 faces my internal network (say 10.1.1.0/24); * tun0 serves all mobile smartphones and connects to the internal network (it has a different ip range, say 10.1.2.0/24) - they are all connected via the Internet using OpenVPN; I would like to configure Asterick for internal calls between ourselves (eth1-tun0) and I think I have no problem with configuring this part. I would also like to use one external VOIP provider to which Asterick registers on startup. I think I know how to do that and use the register option in sip.conf, though I am not sure for the rest of the NAT-related entries (see below). The purpose of registering this external account is so that both the smart phones (tun0) and the internal net (eth1) users could use this account to make external calls (starting with 0, i.e _0[0-9]. pattern in extensioins.conf). Obviously, I need these calls to be routed properly via the external VOIP account. In addition to that, I would also need to receive calls from that external account to a nominated internal one (say on extension 20). Is this achievable? If so, I am not completely clear on whether I need to explicitly specify my public IP address (via externip/externhost) or whether Asterick is able to find it without this option? If not, then my plan is to use external program to find it and then use a script in Asterick to set it up as an environment variable. Would that work? That external IP address is going to change, but only in rare circumstances and in such cases I have to restart a lot of stuff (including Asterick) on that server (this is usually triggered by a monitoring program), so it won't be a problem once it is setup initially. I am also not sure whether to specify nat=yes or just have nat=route only - any ideas? Is there a comprehensive list of all the options available in sip.conf and what they do, because I was unable to find such a list? If the above is doable, I would also like to add the following 2 features: 1. Secondary external VOIP account, though I have no idea how to specify its port in register (it uses port 5065 instead of the standard 5060). That account would need to be used on a separate interface (eth2) with a different public IP address. Would it be possible to use externip/externhost inside that external account section to specify it? If this is not possible, then I am thinking of running a separate instance of Asterick with the second VOIP account/public IP address set up - would that work? 2. I would like to be able to configure the following work flow: for a specific set of (external) calling numbers (including where no Caller ID is available): a) these callers to be prompted to specify the reason for their call; b) their response to be temporarily recorded/stored (a short message of, say no more than 10 seconds long or when they press '#' for that recording to stop); c) Asterick then rings the nominated number for external VOIP calls (extension 20) and play that recorded message back; d) then asks for one of four possible outcomes: - accept this call (pressing, say 1) in which case the call is connected as normal; - reject it with a message that that number/person is unavailable (say, by pressing 0); - ask the caller to leave a message by transferring them to a voicemail (say by pressing 2); or - end the initial call completely with a message that the caller/number has been blacklisted (say, by pressing the 9 key); Could this be achieved? One final question about binding: in order to be able to use both tun0 and eth1 interfaces so that Asterick serves the calls from both eth1 and tun0, do I have to use bind 0.0.0.0? Is there an alternative, like specifying bind 10.1.1.1 for eth1 and then bind 10.1.2.1 for the tun0 interface - is this possible?

Surely. B responds 404 Not Found., as it's not configured to receive these SIP packets. provider P sends to correct IP, and moreover B has no external IP.

Hello list,

when using two SIP Trunks.
My reasons to do failover are:
a) one of the two providers could be unreachable
b) both providers may be UP but one of them could return a SIP error
message (maybe caused by DOWN E1s)
Googling I found a few possible solutions:
1. Using DIALSTATUS variable.
2. Dialing in sequence:
exten = _X.,1,Dial(SIP/${TRUNK1}/${EXTEN})
exten = _X.,2,Dial(SIP/${TRUNK2}/${EXTEN})
3. ChanIsAvail
Using the first method it’s possible to get the CONGESTION
and CHANUNAVAIL status which pretty much solves my problem but it takes more
than 2 lines of dialplan(I like one liners).
The second solution requires less space in the dialplan but it should work
only when the called party is busy (or maybe even when the first trunk is
down).
Is there a clean way to send the call to the second SIP provider if the
first one is unreachable or spits out sip error messages?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Re: [asterisk-users] Restarting Asterisk using a script - Thanks to all -
Hi, 1) It would be nice to find out the root reason that forces you to restart the Asterisk. I do run Aheeva with decently high uptimes. 2) Both a and b methods of Jose P. Espinal are functional, but if I'm having a failure, I up to grab the putty and investigate what's going on there :) How often are you having them? 3) what's the another service related to Aheeva, that requires to be restarted? Hi there, a. You could (maybe) use PHP and send some command via POST, and (after secure/validating the command) use 'exec()' function in php, or 'system()' function. Note: that would require to have a webserver with php installed on it. And allowing the user under which the webserver runs, to restart asterisk via sudoers file. b. You could use a shellscript that sends the command via SSH. In order to avoid password prompt, you could generate a RSA (or DSA) key pair on the machine that will send the command, and copy the rsa_key.pub content on your asterisk box 'authorized_keys'. That would allow you to execute the command remotely via SSH without having to insert the password manually. Note: you could consider using a very limited user on the asterisk box, and with sudoers file allowing it just to restart Asterisk.

Re: [asterisk-users] configure the sound for inbound calls
Hi Salah, what's the problem? For playbacks upload a soundfile to your asterisk /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/hello.wav and setup the Routing Script to Playback(hello); reload asterisk and watch asterisk and aheeva logfiles. And yes there is a possibility to retrieve customer information from your CRM as long as you get customer phone number. Hello All, I do have asterisk installed for a call centre with aheeva application and i would like to know how to configure the sound for the inbound calls and if there is any possibility for agent to receive a file with the phone number and name of clients: For your information there is no problem related to the outbound call An help would be appreciated Kind Regards Salah. -- Mvh, Aurimas Skirgaila -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] SIP over VPN
run tcpdump, while trying to connect to asterisk to see what ports are requiered. default SIP port is UDP 5060, but as mentioned before all your traffic should go over VPN so port openening shouldn't be a problem On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 8:40 AM, Marco Sambo derwid...@gmail.com wrote: Ok, but if I want to open only SIP port on firewall, which ones?

Re: [asterisk-users] SIP Trunk groups
AFAIK, unfortunatelly it's not the same as with ZAP channels where you can
group multiple lines together.
I ended up using slightly modified superdial macro:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Superdial+macro.
if you add new gateway it's not necesarry to edit the macro, just add new
line in dialing context.
[out_via_superdial]
exten =
s,1,Macro(superdial,IAX2/voip1/${tfnumber}voip,1,yourname,8005551234,voipjet)
exten =
s,2,Macro(superdial,IAX2/alpeh-com/${tfnumber}voip,1,yourname,8005551234,aleph)
...
exten =
s,9,Macro(superdial,IAX2/orange/${tfnumber}voip,1,yourname,8005551234,orange)

Hey all,
I have 2 GSM to Voip gateways and probably we will grow up to 4 more
gateways. I already created a macro to make failover happen between
gateways, but can imagine that everytime I add a new gateway I will need to
modify the macro. The initial intention of this macro was to failover
between different techonolgies.
So I was hoping to create a Sip Trunk group using the same idea as
truckgroup under dahdi but for sip trunks.
Is that possible?, have you ever done this before?
My Idea is:
sip_trunk1 = SIP/gateway1
sip_trunk2 = SIP/gateway2
sip_trunk3 = SIP/gateway3
gsm_trunkgoup = sip_trunk1 ; sip_trunk2 ; sip_trunk3
[user]
exten = _0.,1,wait()
exten = _0.,n,Dial(gsm_trunkgoup/${ exten:1},30)
exten = _0.,n,Hangup
Thanks,

[asterisk-users] Difference between Transfer and Dial applications
Hi, I wonder what is the difference between Transfer and Dial applications? Could somebody give me an example of Transfer usage? (documentation and voip-info looks poor a bit).

Re: [asterisk-users] QoS VPN
Despite the VPN overhead, running VOIP through VPN is good idea because VPN reorders encapsulated UDP packets in correct order. Security matters as well. I'd suggest to route VNC packets rather over internet than VPN (so do I), as VPN usually has the highest priority.

Unless QoS is implemented packets are first come first served. There is no usually has the highest priority. Routing one over the Internet versus over the VPN won't change that priority. ok. probably I've misread somewhere about switches which QoS enabled is by default. By the way we do ask our ISP to prioritize VPN packets and they do. j On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 11:33 PM, Roberto Piola roberto.pi...@visiant.it wrote: I do not have examples, but if you are using the 1700 series router in order to originate the ipsec vpn, you may use command qos pre-classify (please search for it on cco.cisco.com) On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 9:54 PM, Brent Davidson br...@texascountrytitle.com wrote: I've got multiple satellite office all linked back to the main office via VPN.
