[asterisk-users] No Incoming Ring Tone (Even with "r" option)

2007-04-17 Thread Brian Rogan

Hello,

I am using an incoming iax provider to bring calls to my server.  When
an incoming call comes in, the calling party does not hear a ring
tone.  I figured that this was no big deal, and that I just needed to
enable the "r" flag to dial.  This has not fixed the situation though.
Just to try to make sure the line was being picked up properly, I
tried the following:

[inbound]
exten => number,1,Answer
exten => number,n,Background(vm-goodbye)
exten => number,n,Dial(SIP/bdesktop,60,tr)
exten => number,n,Hangup

In this case, the caller hears the vm-goodbye message, and then
silence (while the phone actually does ring).

Does anyone know why the "r" option might not be working?  The
incoming channel is iax, and obviously the phone terminating the call
is Sip.

Thanks,

--Brian

You need to make sure that you install the asterisk-config package as well.

Asterisk uses a system called AGI to provide IVR.  For more information
see http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+AGI.  As such, IVR
applications are just scripts.  You can use whatever the underlying
platform supports.

Again, this just done by your script.  If you can do it in the
underlying langugae, you can do it in your IVR app.

Re: [asterisk-users] how to play pre-recorded file in meetme conference

2006-10-10 Thread Brian Rogan
I don't know if there is a better way to do this with meetme itself, but
you could use the manager interface (or even the file method described
in http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+auto-dial+out).
You can pass a Data argument with the filename, to an extension that
simply plays a file into the conference.

You may also be able to do something with the 'b' argument to MeetMe.

As I recall, you nee to make sure you run this script with the DeadAGI

Check out the MySQL realtime module.  It is in asterisk-addons.  You can
read more about this at:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+RealTime

You will need to compile the add-ons yourself though (unless your
distribution includes a package for them).

Check out the static config option, which just loads everything to
memory at startup (just like the config file method).

That's one way to look at it.  The flip side, is you just need to
maintain the same complexity just a bunch of times.  Either way, I
wouldn't want to be administering it ;-), but with good configuration
utilities, you shouldn't have to deal with this complexity at all: you
should have utilities that maintain configuration for you, and if you're
going to do this, realtime is by far the best way to go.

I don't pretend to know what you want in your application, but It seems
clear that YOU NEED GOOD TOOLS to manage it.  If you build these though,
I still don't see what you could do with multiple instances that you
can't do with one.  If you abstract away the dial plan with your tools,
what does it matter that the underlying plan is a complicated mess.

In any case, take that for what its worth.

Re: [asterisk-users] Running Multiple Instances of Asterisk

2006-09-25 Thread Brian Rogan
Doug,

Why do you want to do this to begin with?  I think the best solution is
to use the realtime stuff, and build your own management tools, which
would allow you to do this (you could drastically cut the complexity
with the right tools).  Even if you could run them together, how
would you put everything on the appropriate ports?  How would you deal
with multiple instances accessing hardware?

I'm not convinced that maintaining the config files, binaries and other
components of multiple asterisk's is easier than just building better
tools to configure one.

You could also try User-Mode-Linux or something like that.

Re: [asterisk-users] OT: Opinions on Aastra 480i CT?

2006-09-25 Thread Brian Rogan
I don't have experience using the 480i CT, only using the 9112i, so you
should take what I say with a grain of salt.

I have been nothing but impressed with this phone.  In terms of being
friendly with *, they dedicate a section of their manual to asterisk
configuration, which makes things go quite smoothly (not that the
configuration is particularly difficult: its a totally standard SIP
setup).

As for the "No hold, no one-touch voicemail," this isn't strictly true.
It has programmable soft-keys, and though I haven't experimented that
extensively with them, they can be configured to dial a line (i.e. your
voicemail), or "park" a call (i.e. hold).

There's also other cool features, like the ability to write custom menus
for the phone, that get called over HTTP.  All in all, my 9112i has been
pretty good (I had a few lockups, but none since I upgraded the
firmware), and I would say its definitely worth buying one to see if it
will work for your needs.

Re: [asterisk-users] Issues with AGI+Dial command

2006-09-17 Thread Brian Rogan
Hi,

I am still working on trying to figure out why I cannot use the Dial
command from my AGI script.  Can anyone tell me what I can do to get
more information about what's going on.  I've tried asterisk -v with as
many v's as I can put on one line (like 40), and I was wondering if
there is anything that I can do to debug this problem.

Thanks a lot,

--Brian

I have used the Aastra 9112i and it seems to be an a very solid, reliable
(not to mention inexpensive) phone.  It also has instructions on how to
configure it with Asterisk right out of the box, which is nice.  I would
recommend it without reservation.

You might also want to look at the Aastra480i for your central station.
One of the neat things that the phone offers is a whole XML based
markup language that allows you to design custom menus which call HTTP
pages and stuff (much like HTML).  This might be just the thing for
being able to take over any current calls from the central phone.

[asterisk-users] Issues with AGI+Dial command

2006-09-15 Thread Brian Rogan
Hello,

I am trying to write an AGI application that will transfer the caller to
a phone number on certain conditions.  From what I understand (from the
astcc application and voip-info wiki), I should just be able to EXEC the
dial command.  I'm having problems with this though.  I send asterisk
the following:

EXEC Dial "Zap/g1/8475881188|30"

I get back:

200 result=-1

On the asterisk console I see:

-- AGI Script Executing Application: (Dial) Options:
(Zap/g1/8475881188|30)
-- Requested transfer capability: 0x00 - SPEECH
-- Called g1/8475881188
-- Hungup 'Zap/1-1'


The HANGUPCAUSE variable is set to 0.  When I put this dial in my
dialplan as Dial(Zap/g1/8475881188|30), the call goes through fine, so I
don't think that its the T card or any configuration.

Has anyone ever seen this before?

Thanks,

--Brian
