Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dual PRI fail over

2005-10-11 Thread Billy Huddleston
NFAS isn't needed for redundancy.. You can do this with 2 PRI's just have 
them in the same huntgroup at the CO..  All NFAS really does is free up a 
extra B Channel.. For 2 PRI's it makes no sense.. For anything over 2 you 
pickup 1 extra B channel per PRI.. We use NFAS on our RAS setup for the 
ISP.. We get a extra 6 lines on our 8 PRI group.

The term you are looking for is NFAS (Non-Facilities Associated

two PRIs as a single trunk group with a primary and backup D-channel, and 
calls can be handled on both PRIs equally.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Over 10,000 lines. Will asterisk manage?

2004-11-13 Thread Billy Huddleston
A SIP phone *could* normally send its media stream directly from phone to
phone, if no transcoding is required, but when using Asterisk the media
stream will always pass through the server, causing a pottential 
bottleneck.
So, why not use SER to register all the SIP phones, as it doesn't handle 
the
media-streams, just keeps track of the phones and does the 'handshake'.
SER is supposed to be able to handle over 50.000 calls at a time, so one 
SER
server would be enough.
Then interface this with one (or more) Asterisk servers to connect to the
local PSTN.
But maybe I'm missing something fundamental, in which case I'm happy to 
learn.
Um, Wrong, You can do re-invites and have the media go point-to-point, We do 
it all the time.

 Hello,
 I recently upgraded to Sip 1.3.1 and noticed that the Reject Button is

 unless I press the hold button on the first call.
 Does anyone have a work around for this to reject a call while
 continuing to talk to the first party?  I should also point out that I
 don't want it to be on *, as the situation varies from call to call.
 E.g. setting a count limit on a phone is not acceptable, as if the
 secretary is talking to someone from home, she can put them on hold and
 take the second call.
 Thanks,
 Brent D. Franks
I can only answer for the IP600 - when I want to reject the second 
incoming call, I can do that with the Do Not Disturb button, or I can 
press blue down arrow and than use the reject soft key. The ongoing call 
is not interrupted and I don't have to put it on hold first.

the call to my asterisk box via sip..  Asterisk can no longer process DTMF
tones generated by the calling party.  This affects DISA, prompts and

   Hi-
  
   Because a majority of my customers are in Europe, I've gotten quite
used
   to
   working with ISDN (PRI) and BRI on a regular basis.  Recently one of
my
   customers asked me if I could terminate a few lines locally here in
the
   USA
   (California), so I called up SBC to enquire as to how much it would
cost
   to
   install a BRI here.
  
   Although the rates were reasonable (except the installation), I got
the
   distinct impression that they really didn't want to install BRI's.
Their
   comments were well, BRI is getting quite antiquated, and the like.
They
   said with the advent of ADSL, there's not much of a market anymore, as
   most
   of past usage was modem related.
  
   I'm a little worried about the pricing going up, and availability
going
   down
   in the near future.  I don't have the volume yet to justify PRI.
  
   What are other's experience in the US with BRI?  Also, they mentioned
that
   I
   couldn't get caller ID with the BRI service, which I thought was a
built-
   in
   feature.

 Well, first off we're not using them directly off the asterisk.  Our
 Asterisk runs into our Alcatel OmniPCX 4400 and then to the PRI.  We have
 about 70 or so IP phones off the 4400 and just a few off the Asterisk box
 (so far) and of those probably 10 to 15 (alcatel) users complain
 consistently about the echo.  We've only put it on one of our spans to
start
 with and I directed the most complaining users to it.  So far the feedback
 has been very good.

 I use an IP phone every day and I rarely notice it, but I may have just
 learned to tune it out.  :)  But having said that I have noticed that even
 that occasional echoing call that I was getting seems to have gone away.

 end.

 VOIP calls through nufone have no echo
 MOST PSTN calls through the PRI have no echo
 SOME PSTN calls (usually to local numbers NOT terminated at my local CO)
have
 significant echo...  I too have been unsuccessful in getting this zapped.

 My connection:

 Norstart MICS -- Adit600 --- T100P -- IAX2 -- TE405P -- Bell
Canada
 PRI

 *1 = Xeon/2.4 with HT with T100P
 *2 = Xeon/2.4 with HT with TE405P

 *2 also does the NuFone IAX2 connection (it is always in the loop, as *1
is on
 a private network)

 Strange stuff, I am going to look at T1 echo cancellation hardware if I
cant'
 get this solved.

 Tried:
 - echotraining=800 on *1 and *2
 - echocancel=32,64,128 on both

 Eventually the MICS will have a digital connection to *1 instead of going
 through the Adit600 but we haven't got there yet :-)

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Echo cancellation, when software doesn't cut it. Whats next?

2004-07-01 Thread Billy Huddleston
I failed to mention I'm using a Cisco 2600 with Sip Re-invites.. and YES, I
do have the echo can on the Cisco turned on, The echo is S bad, it's not
even touching it...  When we place 1-800 calls or call LD via our offnet
provider, everything works fine, it's just with local calls on the PRI...
We found out that the 1-800 #'s go out our carriers Sonus switch (a VoIP
switch) which has 128ms Echo Can in it...  Hmmm...

  Obviously the less I spend the better. But if we have to, a few thousand

  in each location.

 I totally understand this.  My users complain frequently about echo, and I
 am still unable to determine why sometimes it works great, other's it does
 not.  The CPU and Memory are powerful enough to handle it, and we rarely
 ever see any load on the box.

 I too feel this is the major caveat to Asterisk right now.  I am curious
 how anyone is achieving a near echo free system.  We are shooting for 1
 out of every 300 calls to have echo, which I think can be a realistic
 goal.  Given the nature of open source, and the mix-and-match of
 components that come up, I can see where Digium is in a hard place to nail
 down the cause of every occurance.

 
  I will only be using POTS lines in each location.
 
  The current setup works great besides the echo, and some of the
  information I've read point to the Telco being the issue. If thats the
  case, I should in theory be able to get them to fix the problem. (though
  I could be dreaming)

 I think ultimately, if a Mediatrix box, or Cisco box can accomplish echo
 cancellation, Asterisk should be able to do it with as much success.
 Being that I am not an experienced Programmer, I try not to complain to
 loudly.  With my level of involvement, I typically make the business case
 to customers and spec out ROI, etc.  I do have a technical background, and
 am getting better at trouble shooting Asterisk and working on the source
 code.  In fact, subscribing to the CVS list has taken me leap years ahead
 of understanding the changes and why they are being committed.

 I don't know how much more putting a DSP to handle echo can on the cards
 would cost, but if it were 400 - 500 more I would certainly pay it without
 a second thought, provided it worked.  Echo, I think, is the largest draw
 back to VoIP, and will be the limit to entry into many businesses.  I know
 my client, if they were to do it all over again, would choose a regular
 TDM (nortel, avaya) solution over the echo they are experiencing.

 I think asterisk is definitly headed in the right direction though, and
 nothing good comes over night.  So everyone who has worked on it deserves
 to be commended.  Without their insight and dedication, we wouldn't even
 be talking about this, or have alternatives to turn to.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 Phones as paging system?

2004-05-08 Thread Billy Huddleston
That won't work.. That'll DIAL multiple phones/extensions, but will only
bridge 1 of them when it auto-answers..

What we need is a way to have something like meetme call multiple extensions
and bridge them to a meetme confrence (all of them muted but the admin of
course, as it's a one way page) and then we would have a true paging
system..

  That's not too bad, but how do you page a group of phones...like a real
  intercom?  That's what I'm dying to know!

 in extensions.conf:

 [globals]
 INTERCOMLINES=SIP/Alice6SIP/Bob6SIP/Chuck6...

 Then the extension is as per Joe's example, but replacing SIP/5101 with
 ${INTERCOMLINES}.

 Extending this, you could set up various intercom numbers for different
 parts of the office...

 [globals]
 SALESINTERCOM=SIP/Sales1-6SIP/Sales2-6...
 MKTGINTERCOM=SIP/Marketing1-6...
 ...

 [yourcontext]
 exten = 5101,1,Dial(${SALESINTERCOM},10,tA(tone))

  This is what we have

  exten =

  If you want the wav

  pause in the beginning, because when the cisco answers it takes a second or to 
  before it will send any audio to the speaker.

can't hear the phone.

I've even went as far as to setup a seperate context for the g729 phone and
do this..
,SetVar,SIP_CODEC=g729  which, says it sets it to g729, but it's still a
ulaw call..  Guys, this is a real problem... We're going be doing mixed
configs.. and if a gateway says it can do both, and phone says it can only
do one... then we should be using the compatable codec...  PLEASE help..
This is going to cause problems in our rollout.

 Sounds to me that your asterisk first negotiates g729 with your phone,
then
 negotiates ulaw with the gateway (since it *is* the preferred codec in
your
 config), and on a re-invite the logic breaks up either in the phone or in
 the gateway (or perhaps in the asterisk itself, I am not absolutely clear
on
 the details of re-invites). Try changing the order of codec preference for
 the gateway and see if that fixes your g729 phone and breaks the ulaw
phone
 at the same time.

way
  audio.. The sip phone can hear anything from the gateway, but, the
gateway
  can't hear the phone.
 
  I've even went as far as to setup a seperate context for the g729 phone
 and
  do this..
  ,SetVar,SIP_CODEC=g729  which, says it sets it to g729, but it's still a
  ulaw call..  Guys, this is a real problem... We're going be doing mixed
  configs.. and if a gateway says it can do both, and phone says it can
only
  do one... then we should be using the compatable codec...  PLEASE help..
  This is going to cause problems in our rollout.
 
  Thanks, Billy

 Hi,

 Citeren Billy Huddleston [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

  Using them with * and a Cisco GW, they're on PUBLIC ip's, No Firewall or
  anything,  I am using re-invites.  Pretty standard setup.  When they
lockup,
  you can't ping them, or get to the http interface, and I even think the
IVR
  stops responding when you push the button.

 Yes, but is anything specific happening when they hang ? (What are you
doing
 that seems to cause the hang ?)

 I have pretty similar setups, so I could try to recreate your scenario ?

 Why?
 
 - brilliant user interface, with or with out a web browser
 - cristal clear voice even with low band codecs
 - PPP over ethernet (PPPoE) aware
 - continual firmware improvement
 - plenty of tweak options
 - economically priced
 - protocol conform
 - made in china
 - fast shipping
 
 Retail from $39 to $245 .. google is your friend.

[Asterisk-Users] canreinvite and codec negotations...

2004-01-29 Thread Billy Huddleston
Okay, now on to my problem..  I have people who will be using ulaw, and I
have people who will be using g729.. I want to set it up so that canreinivte
will work.. I have a single cisco gateway..
Asterisks isn't handling the negotation between the 2 devices very well..
For example..

[gateway]
type=friend
host=1.2.3.4
canreinvite=yes
qualify=200
dtmfmode=rfc2833
context=default
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=g729

[123]
type=friend
secret=abc
nat=yes
host=dynamic
canreinvite=yes
qualify=200
context=default
dtmfmode=rfc2833
mailbox=2199
callerid=Joe Blow 123-456-7890
disallow=all
allow=g729

[321]
type=friend
secret=abc
nat=yes
host=dynamic
canreinvite=yes
qualify=200
context=default
dtmfmode=rfc2833
mailbox=321
callerid=Joe Blow 321-456-7890
disallow=all
allow=ulaw


Okay, in this configs, gateway would be my cisco 26xx gateway..  ext 123
would be a g729 customer.. and 321 would be a ulaw customer.  When someone
calls ext 123, the cisco send the call to asterisk, it *WILL* use ulaw...
then it will initiate a call to g729, well... Now we have a codec mismatch,
and canreinvite won't work... EVEN though gateway can do g729.. ext 321
won't have any problems.. It'll work fine for them..  What can we do to get
this to work like it should?

Thank, Billy

Re: [Asterisk-Users] G.729 Licenses from Digium

IDE/SCSI interfaces, SCSI only installed, WITH IDE CDROM installed with
CDROM in drive. - g729 WILL WORK.

I'm running a system right now with 24 licences.. Tested it with a single
license before purchasing the other 23.   You MUST have a CDROM in the drive
when you run the install program.. and MUST have it in the drive when you
bring Asterisk's up.

  IDE Disk Install - g729 coder work.
  IDE/SCCI interfaces. Only a SCSI disk installed - g729 will not work.

  Is that still IDE? Or SCSI?
 
  technically, it uses the SCSI command set over a serial link, so,

  I know one thing for sure...
  G729 WILL NOT WORK after installation *(it never realy installs

  So do not buy if your box is SCSI in any part.

 Yes, IIRC SSH only tunnels TCP. IAX is UDP based. You'll need to find
 something that will tunnel UDP over TCP, so you can tunnel that over SSH

  Let's say you sit in a room with five other people. Each one has it's

  The other guys in the room want to answer his phone for him and take a

  I just pick up our extension, hit *40, and the call is automatically
  transferred to my extension.
 
  Is this doable with Asterisk?
 
  Is it possible to divide extensions into groups  like a group per

 You want to look into call groups and pickup groups. To pickup the call
 you use *8#.

 from /usr/src/asterisk/configs/zapata.conf.sample

 ;
 ; Ring groups (a.k.a. call groups) and pickup groups.  If a phone is
