Re: [asterisk-users] Filtering duplicate RTP packets

Replying to myself 

Its fixed now

 

Checking timestamps is optional according to RFC so asterisk is not
doing it.

Anyway, I made a patch and tested it and its working.

 

Thanks.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Filtering duplicate RTP packets

 

Hi,

 

I have a SIP provider who sometimes sends duplicate RTP packets to me.

 

Sent RTP packet to  10.55.20.201:17440 (type 08, seq 008536, ts
4846560, len 000160)

Got  RTP packet from10.55.20.201:17440 (type 08, seq 051978, ts

Sent RTP packet to  10.55.20.201:17440 (type 08, seq 008537, ts
4846720, len 000160)

Got  RTP packet from10.55.20.201:17440 (type 08, seq 051980, ts

Got  RTP packet from10.55.20.201:17440 (type 08, seq 051981, ts
3647105152, len 000160)

 

 

Unfortunately they're unable to filter it because this is the way they
receive it themselves.

 

Can this be fixed within asterisk with a custom patch? 

 

Kind regards

Try using a utility like "top" to see what the CPU loading is with HPEC.

2007-02-20 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Hi,

Has anyone noticed degraded voice quality with HPEC?
I have a client running TE4XX card who configured HPEC for couple of
channels with echocancel=1024.

Whenever HPEC is used you get a background static in voice.
When HPEC is not used everything is crystal clear.

What could cause this static?

[asterisk-users] Contacts for Chan_gsm_bt maintainer?

2006-07-14 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Anyone knows how to contact maintainers of Chan_gsm_bt?
They http://changsmbt.free.fr/ site has no contact details.

I believe I found the issue why it does not initiate SCO links
properly..
It looks to be a timing issue. It sends additional AT commands without
waiting for the responses for previous commands.

The specification is HFP 1 & 1.5 shows that sequence of commands need to
be sent when responses are received for previous commands.

While Nokia's are more tolerant (and clearly respond much quicker) LG's
for example completely screw up and do not setup SCO link if you send
commands at will without processing responses..

What would it take to rewrite the part of the init code?

2006-06-13 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Its slow :) It will give you some delays but it will not be noticeable
(most voice files are 5-100kb, so it should be ok... But writing to
them.. Not sure.. It should be ok as well I'm guessing as kernel will
provide some caching (since you have G and not GS it has less ram, so
maybe chaching is not an option) 
Best would be to get WL-500G. It has a USB port so you can plug a USB
memory stick into it. It will be faster and will give you more storage
cheaper then SD.

Well, you can pretty much guarantee 100% software uptime with asterisk.
The main causes of crashes of the working system are users.
If it works... don't touch it, do not logon to it... forget about it.

Create a minimalistic root system with busybox, have everything on CF on
IDE adapter, user UPS with shutdown to protect the CF (as they're prone
to failures on power loss) and you have yourself a VERY stable system.

You can use JFFS2 on block device to reduce the wear on CF but you will
not need it if you're not writing anything on CF (or have 2 CF's and md
them together.)

I have never seen PBX with guarantee of 99.999%. None of the
manufacturers will commit to that unless it is a highly redundant
system, but by then it's not elcheapo.

About fanless PC's.. A stock standard intel fan would lust longer then
you think unless its located in dusty and damp place.

I have a p3 that's been running for 5 years non-stop and it was still
going strong.. Half the capacitors started to leak on the motherboard
but the fan was still spinning. :) Now that's reliability!

More or less true. Any 100-200 extension highly redundant PBX system
will costs you more or less the same money.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Hard drive write cache

2006-06-13 Thread Boris Bakchiev
These days you don't have to worry much about your write cache unless
you're running application where once single byte changed will affect
whole file.

Look at it this way, the only corruption will occur is whatever the
files were open by asterisk at the time of the crash. And only up to the
point where the file was last open. As far as I know asterisk does not
keep cdr or log files open so you would loose only the data that was
written at the time of the power failure.

Any journaling file system (ext3, resierfs, xfs, etc) will easily handle
any power failure event. Your files will not be corrupt but could miss
some of the data.

At the most you will loose 10-50 cdr entries written to you log files.

If you post CDR to a remote SQL database then you asterisk install and
linux is more or less static and will not be affected by the power
failure.

What you need to do is minimise the writes to hard disk's:

1 - Send syslog to remote server and do not do ANY syslogs
Or keep the circular buffer in memory if you have plenty of it. 
2 - Send CDR's to SQL server (or log to ramdisk and send to remote
server every few minutes via SSH)
3 - Do not record any calls (or do that somewhere else)
4 - Stop any services that write/read data on regular intervals.

If you have no writes you have nothing to worry about during power
failure and journaling file system will take care of the rest.

Keep your partition size really small so that fsck will not take much
time.

You have to be realistic, you cannot achieve 99.999% uptime. That's 5
minutes per year downtime.
You will have more or less 100% until your first hardware failure.

Even if you have all the hardware components pre-purchased it will still
take you 2-12 hours to detect, diagnose and fix the fault if you lucky.
So your 5 minuets 

If the business is demanding 99.999% then it should be prepared to
invest into the hardware.
I would recommend a cluster or even better a fault tolerant server.
Those are expensive but you can pretty much rule out the hardware
failure and swap all of the failed components while the system is
running (cpu, memory, hdd, etc).

Look at Stratus or NEC FT servers if you need hardware redundancy.
They're expensive but will give you the hardware reliability you need.

Or get a traditional PABX :)

RE: [Asterisk-Users] PABX Setup

2006-06-06 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Samsung PABX?

Its TEPRI probably configured in overlap mode so you need to configure
asterisk span that is connected to PABX to overlap mode as well.

When user selects the outside line in overlap mode PABX connects to
asterisk and then sends the digits to it as the user presses the key's.

If overlap mode is not configured in asterisk switch is not started by
asterisk and it just thinks that empty dial string was sent to it.

Just use:
overlapdial=yes

in your zapata.conf


Make sure you have 
exten => s,1,Busy()
exten => s,2,Hangup

in your 'samsungincoming' context so that users get a busy signal when
they didn't enter any digits in allotted time otherwise you'll get a
hanging channel in Samsung.

We use that setup with OfficeServ 500 and it works really well.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Re: call monitoring and indications / beeps

2006-05-22 Thread Boris Bakchiev
HI Ben,

Make following context in your extensions.conf
[notifycallrec]
exten => tone,1,Answer
exten => tone,2,Answer
exten => tone,3,Playtones(!950/50,0)
exten => tone,4,Wait(10)
exten => tone,5,Goto(3)
exten => h,1,StopPlaytones

Then you can call it with:
exten => _X.,1,Dial(Zap/r0/${EXTEN},30,G(notifycallrec^tone^1))
Obviously use the right technology in your dial string but make sure you
keep the G option

You can play around with Wait and Playtones if you wish.
This will make both callee and caller phones beep with tiny beep.

This works fine for me

Pentium D 830 (Dual Core)

Corsair DDR2-6400 2GB RAM (4 pices)

TE406P (not TE411P as I stated before)

 

Running debian with non-debian kernel (stock standard 2.6.15.4, email
if you want .config )

 

Some anomalies have been observed during the testing of the server
before implementing it into production.

1 – The server performed MUCH better with software RAID one then
hardware, not so mention it was easier to setup.

2 – DDR2-6400 improved some of the benchmarks over DDR2-5200. My
understanding that all samples that come in and out if

Digium card are copied to user space so faster ram should be of benefit
to the system.

 

 

The system has not been restarted from December. Only asterisk was
upgraded 3-4 times since December.

Before unloading zaptel drivers we checked for IRQ misses with zttool (before
each unload/load of drivers) and since December we had none.

 

The system is now running realtime (mysql on the same machine),
iaxmodem+hylafax combo for receiving faxes.

I must say, spending just a little extra to get good hardware pays off
in the long run.

 

If you have any questions, email.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Digium cards, so disappointing !

2006-04-20 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Our production asterisk server has TE411P and we route close to 50-70K
of calls per month through its ports.
We have NEVER EVER had any issues with faxing (close to 3k/month) with
faxes connected on one of the spans of the card.

Moreover, we have had quite a success receiving the faxes with
iaxmodem+hylafax thanks to Lee Howard that we're now gradually switching
the fax machines to iaxmodem+hylafax combo.

Faxes are sensitive to timing and configuration settings of your
asterisk.
Once your system is "tuned to perfection" you should have no problems
faxing at all despite the official stance from Digium.

2006-04-11 Thread Boris Bakchiev
> Are there any advantages/disadvantages to using tmpfs as opposed to
the
> following method:

Matt,

Its simple. To quote the docs, "tmpfs lives entirely in the kernel's
caches"
It will shrink and grow to accommodate the files that currently on the
filesystem.

So if you allocate 10GB for your /tmp but only use 500MB it will only
use 500MB of RAM. Think of the time your server run out space on your
RAM drive...
With tmpfs you would still be ok for few weeks (provided you allocated
enough space). :) This will also benefit whole system if /tmp is located
on tmpfs, not that a stable, production asterisk system would actually
use /tmp much (if at all).

In short it gives you the benefits of LARGE RAM disk without allocating
all that memory beforehand and you don't have to format anything during
startup.

For further info look at the following link to tmpfs.txt from kernel's
docs
http://www.kernelhq.cc/browse-view.py?fv_nr=232372

Is this dual CPU/Core or just P4 with HT enabled?
If it is P4, I would recommend to disable HT.

Try changing PCI slots for one of the cards (if you have spare PCI slots).

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Re: update - 512 Simultaneous Calls with DigitalRecording

2006-04-10 Thread Boris Bakchiev
The simplest solution and the one already implemented in linux, tmpfs.
It would be best to allocate 4-8GB to tmpfs on /tmp and let the kernel
do the work it was designed to do. And you would not be limited to PCI
bus speeds. The DDR2800 is about 12GB/sec. Some would say "overheads,
etc, etc".
Agreed, even at 95% loss (doubtful) you still get higher badwitch then
PCI bus/hard rive could do :)

Asterisk can be directed to save files to tmp and them you can move the
files to remote server with least possible priority.

Interesting device. Looks like the burst throughput is right on par
with good drives, but you have better sustained throughput and
obviously near zero latency. But what truly is the advantage compared
to having 4 GB (dedicated) RAM in the machine and making a RAM disk
with it? You need the RAM either way and that ought to be at least as
fast as this card on a 33 MHz PCI bus. You loose the "non-volatile"
advantage but that's about it, no?

I Guess you can edit the following line in your hylafax config file for

Put exclamation in front of 96 (as it is done with 24) and it should

With the help of iaxmodem (which works really well) its easily done!
Just detect the incoming call is fax and the route it to iaxmodem on fax

2006-03-30 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Most of the problems like these for me are gone since I started using
iaxmodem+hylafax combination.

Hylafax has ECM capability which just tells the other side to resend the
affected frames (not the whole page).

With the latest 4.2.5.5 hylafax I even have color support :) Not that I
probably needed.

Give it a try.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Reload astdb?

2006-03-30 Thread Boris Bakchiev
> This doesn't answer the original question - why do you need to reload
it?

I'll give you an example.

An Active<->Active asterisk cluster.

In the event one of the servers dies, the other server can take over
without loosing registrations. Since most of the SIP clients know how to
use DNS failovers its up to asterisk to do its part :)

I don't understand why cat we use realtime for it? For sites that need
to chare registrations (for whatever the valid or non-valid reasons
anyone could think of) they should be able to use realtime architecture
instead of astdb.  Mind you that only sites that know what they doing
will utilise that, so I don't think it will create a major support
headache.

Allowing users to select realtime or astdb is another step close to a
reliable "carrier grade" asterisk active-active cluster :)

This is just my 0.01c :)

Not necessarily.

Granted that you will not be able to have have that many T1's on one
system but if the load is spread across multiple "Asterisk Media
converters" you should be able to do anything and scale your system much
better.

Lets consider for example the following scenario:

--   --
|   * Media  |   |   * Media  |
|server  |   |server  |
|   2x TE406P|   |   2x TE406P|
--   --
   ||
 ---
 | Main *  |
 | server  |
 | |
 ---
   ||
--   --
|   * Media  |   |   * Media  |
|server  |   |server  |
|   2x TE406P|   |   2x TE406P|
--   --


This will let you serve 192 channels per media server.
Media servers will only need to convert PRI<->IP so a cheap DIY Dual
Core Xeon MP with 4MB cache would be more then enough to
process/compress 196 channels in/out of 2 TE406P's. Also media servers
do not need much RAM, hard drives and can run from flash cards.
My preference would be convert all the traffic coming out of media
servers to G.729 and IAX2 trunk it to main server. IAX2 trunking will
save you MANY interrupts and will improve your bandwidth utilisation
between Media and Main servers.

With this setup you can run Media and Main servers on private gigabit
network which would be more then enough to handle IAX2 trunked G.729
traffic from media servers. Network redundancy can easily be achieved
between Media and Main servers by adding NIC's to each and using many
known techniques (bonding, routing, VRRP, etc, etc).

The Main Asterisk server can be setup with load balancing/failover.
Media servers will need to be aware of this.

The good thing in the setup like this is that its easy to scale up when
needed, you're not exposed of loosing all of your T1's if one of media
servers fail, you can easily add more T1's in your setup.

The Main server would need a quad gigabit card (intel is a good choice)
and since it would not be hampered by Zaptel traffic and it would not
need to do any transcoding (except for odd voicemail usage, that could
be send to another server) you could use 2xDual Core Xeons. A separate
dual port (for redundancy) gigabit card would be used to serve SIP
clients.

We're working with one of the ISP's on testing and perhaps implementing
this setup for them.

This setup is considerably cheaper then $1M proposed Cisco setup and can
be made as reliable as Cisco solution is.
Please don't get me wrong, if I'd have $1M-$5M to spare would go for
Cisco.
But most of us don't have that much money and if we would, we would
never be reading any messages on asterisk-users.

Asterisk can be made as reliable and scales as good if not better then
any Cisco solution and the fraction of the cost.

Now imagine all of this with the new DS3000P in media servers!

All hail Asterisk! :)

2005-12-06 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Why not?

Digium works hard in hardware & software department.
It constantly improves its hardware offering.

The software arm has been busier then ever! Million bug fixes, MANY MANY
improvements, roadmap (at least from what I can see from contributing
developers in SVN) is amazing.

Asterisk and Digium have great feature together. Admittedly almost all
had problems in one place or another but most of it is "user/config"
problem.

I would not have invested in Digium's hardware and taken up asterisk if
I were not confident that Asterisk can "cut it".

If you take a look at general Digium & Asterisk are success stories in
itself!

I'd volunteer for sure but my little installation probably a drop in the
ocean compare to the ones I hear and read about and Australia is not
exactly has competitive market for that. :)

In fact I share the same view about any company that supports Asterisk
community. Even for Digium competitors (who have the same dedication as
Digium as well)


Give it a chance, lets not forget that Digium spends great time, effort
and expense getting Asterisk to where it is now. I don't know of many
hardware manufacturers that do the same thing.

 No. Neither Digium nor Sangoma I believe are putting in hardware cans
that would support a 400ms+ tail. I think the most you're going to get
is 128ms.

No, max we used is 30 channels.

But according to voip-info its faster protocol because it offloads media

OOH323 works "right out of box" and since we started using it to

Asterisk is running chrooted and under its own username.
If I alter the init script and add -c to PARAMS variable one of the

I remove -c and everything is fine.

[Asterisk-Users] DTMF detection in TE406P ??

2005-11-09 Thread Boris Bakchiev








Hi,

 

 

I’m getting a lot of false DTMF detections on my
system.

Following is a diagram of my system:

PRI<->TE406P SPAN1<->TE406P SPAN3<->PABX

 

Basically anyone talking to me with a higher pitch
voice (Ladies) I get “beeps” all over the place.

 

If I unplug PRI from Asterisk and plug it directly to
PABX I do not get any “beeps” during conversation.

 

 

I noticed that the latest wct4xxp sources allow disabling
DTMF support in VPM modules.

Will it help me in this situation and if disabled,
will I still be able to call IVR systems from my PABX?

 

Thanks in advance!

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Echo canceller on TE406 & Asterisk

2005-10-27 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your reply.
That probably what it was. :)
Could echo cancellation on PBX conflict with VPM module and create the
"warping babble" sound that my users are reporting?

Do echocancelwhenbridged and echotraining do anything when VPM module is
used? Should I be using them?

[Asterisk-Users] Echo canceller on TE406 & Asterisk

2005-10-27 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Hi,

I have TE406P (2nd gen card with echo cancellation on-board).
We still notice quite often echo on our PBX that is connected to one of
the spans on TE406P (with calls routers to PRI provider on another
span).

I've tried to experiment with the echo cancellation on asterisk.

I enabled echo cancellation in Zapata.conf to see if I can improve the
situation and users started reporting "warping bubble" (description I
got from one of the users) sound on calls from PABX->Asterisk->PRI (and
other way).

I was expecting that asterisk would disable its echo cancellation once
it find on-board module.

The strange thing I noticed that after system reboot things are now
better. 
Although I cannot say for sure because the system was ever rebooted 2
times.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Has anyone had similar problems?
Or point me into right direction for troubleshooting?

Regards
Boris

[Asterisk-Users] spandsp frame slip tolerance.

2005-09-13 Thread Boris Bakchiev








HI,

 

How many frame slips would spandsp tolerate before faxing becomes
impossible?

Using ztclock my current system slips a frame every 60
seconds.

 

Does each frame slip means a failed fax or will there be retransmission
of the block/page that had the frame slip?

 

Regards

Boris

RE: [Asterisk-Users] TE406p no interrupts

2005-09-11 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Well.
That means pci_register_driver probably not ding what it supposed to do.
In newer kernels pci_module_init should be replaced with
pci_register_driver as pci_module_init doesn't it what it supposed to.
How brave are you at getting a new kernel on your system?
I'm currently running on 2.6.13 on 955X chipset and it works really
well.
At first I had all sorts of problems with interrupts but with couple of
patches to wct4xxp all working just fine with close to 3-5K of calls per
day.

What is the model of the motherboard you have?
See if you can force a particular IRQ on a slot where your TE406P is.
Some motherboards do allow this, so you can assign IRQ bellow 15 to the
card.
That could help as well.
For now, revert the changes back. If you can, try new kernel (in
parallel) with the pci_register_driver.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] TE406p no interrupts

2005-09-11 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Well.
Try this please (but only if you're running on the latest sources).
Open wct4xxp.c sources and search for pci_module_init
Replace it with pci_register_driver
So the line should read:
res = pci_register_driver(&t4_driver);

That allows you to get the card working on 2.6.13 in almost exactly the
same setup as yours.

One weird thing though. Do no use insmod ./wct4xxp.ko from zaptel
directory as it will not work. Do a proper make install and then
modprobe.


This is just part of the fixes you might need to do.
If you encounter a problem after span reconfiguration (ztcfg) let me
know.

If you get stuck.. let me know.

[Asterisk-Users] PRI and Caller ID when immediate=yes

Hi,

 

I would like to utilise immediate=yes to monimise the delay that simle
switch introduces.

When I set this option, ${EXTEN} is not populated so I  I’m
unable to do some prepocessing of calls.

 

Is there a way to populate or retreive EXTEN from a channel that’s
been setup with  immediate=yes option?

 

Thanks

[Asterisk-Users] Problem with PRI channels, restarted after every call.

2005-09-07 Thread Boris Bakchiev








Hi,

 

I got a problem with PRI that I’m not sure how to
solve.

Asterisk sits between PABX and PRI.

PRI is span 1 and PABX is span 2.

 

After every single call  (no matter in what direction) I
get “pri_fixup_principle: Call specified, but not found?” and “pri_dchannel:
Hangup on bad channel” messages and the channel in question is restarted.
As far as I can see, all calls complete fine.

 

What could cause this? I’d appreciate any help given.

[Asterisk-Users] Activate/Deactivate Hardware echo cancellation on TE406/TE411 when briging

2005-08-29 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Hi,

How would one activate/deactivate hardware echo cancellation on the
TE406 card?
Can it be done per channel?

I'm going to run TE406 in the following scenario:

ISDN -> TE406 -> PABX

I understand from Steve Underwood's site that echo cancellation is not
good for faxes (and they do that themselves).

So what I want to do and bypass echo cancellation for selected
extensions before bridging the calls from span1 to span2.

Thanks!

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Voiceblue and slow dialling

2005-08-23 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Hi Raph,

We have bought the units from the same supplier as you (Talk to Us).
All our calls take about 5 seconds before the mobile we're calling
starts ringing. Some calls take up to 7 seconds but I think it depends
on the carrier.
I believe we have even tested one of your units for Matt because he was
puzzled why it takes so long to call, sure enough it only took 5 seconds
to for my mobile to ring.

We're running latest CVS here so I cannot comment if you're running
something older. I suggest check your peer setup in sip.conf, maybe
initiate sip debug so you can see the Asterisk and VB exchanging SIP
messages.. Maybe you can stumble across something obvious. 

VoiceBlue unit is excellent and is definitely much faster then any other
GSM diallers we have tried (Including Ericsson's and Tellular).
In fact none of the GSM diallers we have tested ever went bellow 7
seconds (when a remote mobiles rings) and usually been between 8-15
seconds.

Regards

RE: [Asterisk-Users] WARRNING REGARDING Support from 2n.cz !!!!

2005-08-23 Thread Boris Bakchiev








2n also asked to buy from local
distributor, and I’m glad they asked.

Works out that here in Australia distributor had to get
the units tested and certified for us to be able to use them.

 

I just checked the 2n’s site, all
downloads are available without logon for VoiceBlue products..

What have you tried to download?

 

Regards

REGARDING Support from 2n.cz 
Importance: High



 

Just a warring for everybody regarding this company.

I emailed 2n.cz to buy 2 gateways to integrate 3g
network and GSM with my asterisk box. They emailed me back to contact the local
dealer for them. So I did and I bought the 3G analog gateway (bought from the
 local dealer) and BLUEVoice gateway(I bought it from a dealer in Serbia
when I was there for a meeting) too. Having problems setting them up I was
looking for the updates of the software (the software from the CD has HUGE
bugs, and I even can’t make it talk with the gateway in first place!). On
their site to access the files u need to have an account, so I signed up, and
after 12 hours someone from 2n.cz contacted me telling me to contact the
reseller for the updates (the reseller doesn’t have such section for
updates AT ALL, or even news section regarding the updates!), so I have to keep
look on the 2n.cz site, see if is any updates, and then to email the reseller
and god know after how many days to receive the update! Also in the email I
been told that IF I bought from them direct in the first place I was gain
access to their support section (HELLO, I wanted to buy direct from them and
they told me to buy from the distributor!!!).

Checking their manual (from the cd) I found that they
say:”

! Important !

  The manufacturer constantly improves the
firmware contained in the product. The ISP

technology (In System Programming) used therein helps
you load the latest version into the

VoiceBlue gateway using a common PC anytime. For the
latest firmware version including

all necessary details see www.2n.cz and for
instructions see the Firmware Upgrade

section hereof. We recommend you to apply the latest
version to avoid problems that have

been eliminated and acquire new functions free of
charge.” 

So catch 21 !!!??!!

So looks like I’m going to have hell getting
updates for this products (which looks like don’t even work properly!!!)

So if you want hell support please go ahead and buy
from 2n.cz!

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Failover question

2005-06-30 Thread Boris Bakchiev
The registry's are stored in DB.

Just export your database with 'database show'
Schedule it with cron to run every 5 minutes or so.
You can do that with -rx command line switch for asterisk.

Send the file across to other node and pipe it through awk/perl/cut or
whatever you like and import it when you bring the other node up.

You will have to stop and start asterisk I think. 

I think this should work :)

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Re: iax2 can't listen on virtual interface

2005-06-16 Thread Boris Bakchiev
He is using HA so I'm assuming he is running Master-Slave combo.

That means HA will start asterisk on slave after taking over the IP and
becoming a master.
Until that time, asterisk does not need to be running on a slave so
there should be no problems whatsoever.


If he wants to run asterisk in Master-Master that is a different story
but probably not what you want. Even then it is possible.
When becoming a master just script HA to unload chan_iax, assume the
virtual IP, substitute the bindip in iax.conf (sed will do just fine)
and then load chan_iax backup again. All that can be done while asterisk
is still running.

I don't think that will work on the box that doesn't currently own
that virtual address.

I think the only way is to make sure the bind address is 0.0.0.0

If you've already done that and it still doesn't work,
then I don't know, sorry.

I had 100% reliability when it was connected on LAN.

Timing is an issue, if you doing everything on LAN it should not be a

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Transcoding times

2005-04-27 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Most probably your server was busy starting up when asterisk loaded and
calculated the table.

Next time, just issue show translation recalc without after the server
settles down.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] TDM400P and SCSI/SATA = * noise problems???

2005-04-19 Thread Boris Bakchiev
We're running asterisk on a pair of 1GB 12mb/s flash cards running on
separate IDE channels. 

We've setup software RAID1 to protect ourselves from failures if any of
the flash cards die.

VoiceMail is stored on a small IDE that is dedicated just for this.

It appears to work quite well. Although we don't have TDM's on our
system.

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk timer on Digium's TDM cards?

2005-04-18 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Hi,

Wondering if there is a timer provided on TDM cards?
I don't have use for TE110P and it seems expensive just to get it for
timer function.

I do have ztdummy running but it is hovering on 99.975586% and I'm not
sure if this is good enough or not.

Any info is appreciated.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Dynamic Dialplan - Turn VM on/off?

2005-04-17 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Rod,

Here is my macro for this:

[macro-sipexten]
exten => a,1,VoicemailMain(${ARG1})
exten => a,2,Hangup()
exten => s,1,DBGet(NATIMEOUT=Features/${EXTEN}/NATIMEOUT)
exten => s,2,Dial(${ARG2},${NATIMEOUT})
exten => s,3,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten => s,102,Goto(s,350)
exten => s,350,SetVar(NATIMEOUT=30)
exten => s,351,Goto(s,2)

As you can see it picks it up from DB with default being 30secs if no DB
entry exist.

[Asterisk-Users] Digium G.729 vs. IPP G.729

2005-04-17 Thread Boris Bakchiev








Hi,

 

Did anyone compare G.729 implementations (from Digium and the one based
on IPP) on features, stability, quality and reliabilty?

 

It would be intresting to know how they fair against each other.

 

I could be wrong, but in my testing I did notice a bit more hiss on
Digium’s codec thein IPP’s.

 

Anyone?

I made the same mistake with my 7960

The content of 'OS79XX.TXT' should be P0S3-07-4-00 and not P003-07-4-00

Same goes for SIPdefault.cnf.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Looking for comments on robustness of SpanDSP / app-rxfax / mime-construct

2005-04-12 Thread Boris Bakchiev
Hi,

SpanDSP works great for me, even over SIP.
I did change the fax macro a bit to make it work better.
The macro records total number of faxes and pages received by the
extension.

Here is the example of 7644 fax extension.

1. Have this in your dialplan
exten => _7644,1,Macro(faxreceive)

2. Here is my macro-faxreceive
[macro-faxreceive]
exten => s,1,SetVar(SavedDATETIME=${DATETIME:4:4}-${DATETIME:2:2})
exten =>
s,n,DBGet(ReceivedFaxes=Features/${EXTEN}/${SavedDATETIME}/Faxes)
exten => s,n,SetVar(SavedCALLERID=${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => s,n,DBGet(TotalPages=Features/${EXTEN}/${SavedDATETIME}/Pages)
exten => s,n,SetVar(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/in/${UNIQUEID}.tif)
exten => s,n,DBGet(EMAILADDR=Features/${EXTEN}/Email)
exten => s,n,NoOp
exten => s,n,DBGet(LOCALSTATIONID=Features/${EXTEN}/CSID)
exten => s,n,rxfax(${FAXFILE})
exten => s,n,SetVar(SavedREMOTESTATIONID=${REMOTESTATIONID})
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${FAXPAGES}" >= "1"]?12:17)
exten => s,n,Math(ReceivedFaxes,${ReceivedFaxes}+1)
exten => s,n,Math(TotalPages,${TotalPages}+${FAXPAGES})
exten =>
s,n,DBput(Features/${EXTEN}/${SavedDATETIME}/Faxes=${ReceivedFaxes})
exten =>
s,n,DBput(Features/${EXTEN}/${SavedDATETIME}/Pages=${TotalPages})
exten => s,n,system(/etc/asterisk/batch/sendfax "${FAXFILE}"
"${EMAILADDR}" "${EXTEN}" "${FAXPAGES}" "${SavedCALLERID}"
exten => s,n,NoOp
exten => s,103,SetVar(ReceivedFaxes=0)
exten => s,104,Goto(3)
exten => s,105,SetVar(TotalPages=0)
exten => s,106,Goto(5)
exten => s,107,SetVar([EMAIL PROTECTED])
exten => s,108,Goto(8)
exten => s,109,SetVar(LOCALSTATIONID=${EXTEN})
exten => s,110,Goto(9)

3. Here is my sendfax script
#!/bin/sh
FAXFILE=$1
EMAILADDRESS=$2
RECIPIENT=$3
PAGES=$4
SENDER=$5
CSID=$6
DATES=`date '+%A, %e %B, %Y, %H:%M:%S'`
DATEF=`date +%d%m%Y-%H%M`

[ -z "$FAXFILE" ] || [ -z "$EMAILADDRESS" ] || [ -z "$RECIPIENT" ] &&
exit 0
[ -z "$SENDER" ] && [ -z "$CSID" ] && SENDER=Unknown
[ -z "$SENDER" ] && SENDER="$CSID"
[ -f "$FAXFILE" ] || exit 0

mkdir -p "/var/spool/asterisk/fax/in/$RECIPIENT"

tiff2pdf -z -p A4 -f -c "Virtual Fax" -t "Fax from \"$SENDER\" on
$DATES" -s "Fax from \"$SENDER\" on $DATES" -k "\"$
/etc/asterisk/batch/mime-construct --to "$EMAILADDRESS" --subject "Fax
received on $DATES"  --string "You have received $PAGE
mv $FAXFILE "/var/spool/asterisk/fax/in/$RECIPIENT/$DATEF.tif"


This might not be efficent asterisk programming, but it works well.
I did modify mime-construct to send attachments propertly to Outlook.

If Asterisk guru's could improve it, please do so.

regards
