We use the GXP-2000 and it works quite well.

When you program the buttons to the individual lines, the message 
waiting light will light when any of the lines have a message waiting. 
When you press a line button, if there is a message waiting on that 
line, you will get stutter dial tone as well as a text message 
indicating the number of new messages waiting...


I've been really pleased with these units.

Ok, thats kinda how I thought it would work. So there is no way to 
visually indicate on the phone (ie turn on a LED) besides the dedicated 
MWI LED for each mailbox that has a message? Say I have a phone that I 
want to show 3 mailboxes. What I would like is to have three individual 
LEDS that show the status of each mailbox. Is there any phone out there 
that will do that? I've heard that the Cisco's will but those are 
expensive and you have to sell your soul to Cisco :-)

[Asterisk-Users] Multiple MWI on a single phone?

2005-08-08 Thread Chris Hirsch
Hey all...I'm trying to find a phone that will support multiple MWI so 
that I can have a shared central phone with say 4 users who can see 
visually that hey have messages waiting. Is there any phone that will do 
this possibly by re-assigning a soft-button? Can the Polycoms  do this 
since those seem to be the phone of choice these days?


Thanks!

Very nice! I didn't know about thatis there anything specific you 
have to do to associate a softbutton with a particular extension's 
voicemail so the MWI works? I didn't see anything about this in the wiki 
but I am looking over the user manual.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Answer confirmation on non-Zap channels?

2004-11-19 Thread Chris Hirsch

I wholeheartedly endorse the idea of making this more generic and not
channel specific...as to your ideas, I would be happy with having to
press '#' to indicate acceptance of the call, even if there is only
silence on the other end.  On the other hand, I like your ideas of
announcing the call, verbalizing the callerid digits and presenting a
menu to answer or deflect, etc...that would be icing and very cool...
 

So I see that this bug has been closed but it looks like it was due to 
no response from the patch owner. *IS* there a way to do call 
confirmation/acceptance with # on a non-zap (like IAX) channel or has 
this been dropped?

[Asterisk-Users] Problem with * not detecting hangup on FXO and VM going into an infinite loop

2004-06-10 Thread Chris Hirsch
Hi everybody...
I'm having an odd problem with voice mail on a recent CVS of * where it 
appears not to detect a hangup on FXO and * will keep treating the call 
as new and continue leaving voicemails until the max has been reached.

It will then continue trying to leave voice mails and basically makes 
the system unavailble to any further incoming or outgoing calls on that 
FXO..has anybody seen this and if so how do I fix it?

I've looked around on google and the list archives and it appears that 
there are others with similar problems with most people believing it to 
be a configuration problem. Since I don't see any bugs that have been 
formally posted with this description I think it most likely is...can 
anybody help me determine which option would be causing this behavior? I 
assume its in zapata.conf?

Thanks!

If you where on google and saw the same questions, you should have been
able to follow the rabbit further down the hole by playing with the
links at the bottom of the pages google provided. You would have seen
use rant regularly that you need to work just a tad harder to find the
answer. It is there. It is consistently the same problem. 

You lack disconnect supervision. The only way to know the line has been
hungup is to use progress detection and possibly tweak for your
location.
 

Thank you humoring a newbie...I realize that we're a dime a dozen on 
this list and there a trillion emails that go through here a day 
basically asking the same thing...You have answered what I couldn't seem 
to find and that * can't know about remote hangups if its a not digital 
line. FXO doesn't cut it in this case...However there was an email Jorge 
J. Ramirez S. that stated that if I do a Hangup() after all Voicemail 
access that this should also solve my problem..so I thank you both!! 
I'll be posting this back to the wiki if it solves my problem and 
actually post back to jaiger on #asterisk who was also having the same 
problem.

[Asterisk-Users] Migrating home POTS VM to Asterisk VM

2004-01-29 Thread Chris Hirsch
I'm working on migrating my home POTS phone system into an Asterisk PBX.
Currently I have my FXO and FXS setup and working great. Zapateller is nice!
I'm working on my voicemail now and currently have my 3 mailbox
answering machine plugged into my FXS along with all my other analog
phones. I'd like to slowly migrate away from the FXS answering machine
in favor of Asterisk Voice Mail.
Currently a caller can press *3 to leave me a message in my own mailbox
on the FXS machine. Is there any way that I can make Asterisk monitor
the line after the machine has picked up and if it detects a *3 dump the
user into my Asterisk voice mail box but for everything else just let
the user leave a message on the normal machine?
It was suggested on #asterisk that I could possibly accomplish this with
a conference and AGI script but I'm not sure how I'd go about doing that.
Thanks for any suggestions!

I've been over the archives and google and it appears that this is

config on how to glue all this together.

If anybody can help out I'd really appriecate it!

there is something funky with NAT.

Anybody have any ideas? I did notice that when I start gnophone I see

iax.c line 654 in iax_init: Started on port 5036
Listening on port 5036

ports in some way hardcoded? If if they are can't I do something like above?

a context based on a ruleset I use, call-approved/call-not-approved/no
digits received. Each context having a different voice message, so that
the caller will know the problem, it works very well.

exten = 600,1,Dial(Zap/9,15)
exten = 600,2,Voicemail(u600)
exten = 600,102,Voicemail(b600)

If the Caller*ID matches the ex-girlfriend (2565551212), provide
immediate congestion tone. Otherwise try dialing on Zap/9 for up to 15
seconds. If there is no answer send them to voicemail, preceeded by
unavailable message. If the interface is busy, send them to voicemail
with a busy message.

[Asterisk-Users] Making PrivacyManager smarter?

2003-10-28 Thread Chris Hirsch
I'm having a problem with Asterisk picking up the Zap/1 and thinking its 
a new call when instead I've already been on the phone talking to a 
person. This is not my ideal setup and currently I have just an FXO card 
and Asterisk is in parallel with my phone system instead of being in the 
front. I'm not sure if the problem would be fixed by adding an FXS card 
and putting my phones on to that or not.

This is what is happening while I'm on the phone. For some reason 
Asterisk all of a sudden things a new call has come in.

   -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/1-1'
WARNING[524305]: File chan_zap.c, Line 4360 (ss_thread): CallerID

   -- Executing PrivacyManager(Zap/1-1, ) in new stack
 == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/privacy.conf': Found
   -- Playing 'privacy-unident'
   -- Playing 'privacy-prompt'

Is there a way to NOT have asterisk go through my s,2 if CID is an

with an error?

[Asterisk-Users] Stuttered Dialtone for multiple extensions

2003-10-27 Thread Chris Hirsch
Hey all..I'm looking to start with a single FXS card but with 3 
extensions for VM purposes only. I'd like to know if there is a way that 
you can have different stuttering dialtones depending on which extension 
has a VM. For example If x103 and x104 have VM can there be a distinctly 
different stutter for each mail box and have them play back at once or 
back to back so that when you picked up the phone you'd know who has 
voice mail?

As I get the funds I'll be replacing my analog phones with IP but even 
cheap IP phones only support one mail box indicator right?

[Asterisk-Users] Questions about Zapateller and Privacy Manager

2003-10-24 Thread Chris Hirsch
Hey all...I'm just getting my * setup and right now all I have is an FXO
but no FXS. I wan't to get rid of telemarketers by having * pick up the
phone if there is no CID present, give the caller the Zapateller tones
and then ask the user to input their phone number via Privacy Manager
(yes I realize that this won't get us any where given that I can't
re-ring the phones without FXS but that'll be my next purchase)
This is what I have in my extensions.conf:

[incoming]
exten =  s/,1,Zapateller
exten =  s,1,PrivacyManager
exten=   s,2,Dial,IAX/192.168.2.69/|10
and I *think* this works...is there a good way of testing this besides
waiting for those lovely telemarketers to call?
It was suggested last night on #asterisk that I put s,2,PrivacyManager
instead of s,1,PrivacyManager but this seems to make PM think that there
is no CID present and it always picks up. I guess it also gives the
error of
WARNING[327697]: File pbx.c, Line 1754 (ast_pbx_run): Channel 'Zap/1-1'
sent into invalid extension 's' in context 'default', but no invalid handler
   -- Hungup 'Zap/1-1'
Can somebody tell me that I'm doing this correctly AND explain why I'm
seeing this behavior when I do s,2,PM? I'm sure it just has to do with
not quite understanding how extensions works yet.
Thanks!

The issue is that somewhere along the line you've upgraded the kernel

You'll need to install the kernel source for the actual version you are

Re: [Asterisk-Users] FXO on ATT broadband POTS line?

2003-10-08 Thread Chris Hirsch
I guess I should be more correct..its comcast not ATT. I get the two 
confsed :-) So Comcast is our POTS telephone provider.

[Asterisk-Users] Is there always data at /dev/zap/1?

2003-10-07 Thread Chris Hirsch
Hey all..in trying to futher troubleshoot my caller id problem I'm 
looking at some past troubleshooting tips and this struck me as strange:

If I cat /dev/zap/1 I *always* see data...no matter if the line is in 
use or not...is that typical? Just curious...

[Asterisk-Users] Problems with Caller ID on FXO

2003-10-03 Thread Chris Hirsch
Hey all...for whatever reason my caller id doesn't appear to be working. 
My setup is simple (Wildcard FXO and thats it) and I'm just expecting 
the Caller ID to show up on the console.

I'm seeing this:
*CLI -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/1-1'
NOTICE[262161]: File callerid.c, Line 238 (callerid_feed): Caller*ID 
failed checksum
NOTICE[262161]: File chan_zap.c, Line 4314 (ss_thread): Got event 2 
(Ring/Answered)...

and looking in the code I'm assuming this is bad :-) If it matters ATT 
broadband is my phone service and its coming through cable. Caller ID 
does show up fine on my standard phones.

Can anybody give me a clue on this?

Thanks!
Chris

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Newbie just starting out with *

2003-08-14 Thread Chris Hirsch




So its sounds like I do have a clue then...can analog devices have
their own extension and do call parking, and paging and all that? I
assume the caller id gets passed from the POTS CO to the internal
phones?

So from my understanding I can get a TDM400P with one port now and
upgrade to additional ports? Thats what comes with the dev kit right?

Tell me more about Zapateller..is that the script that I've seen a
description of that gives the fake line-disconnected tone?

  Yes the Wildcard X100P will terminate the POTS CO
in to your Asterisk Linux Box. Then you have to figure out how to get
everything "internal" connected up to it. 
  I have a TDM400P. It can be purchased with up to 4
ports. I purchased three to save money. That gives me three "internal"
extensions to plug analog phones in to. I just use three cordless
phones with the base stations plugged in near the Asterisk computer. We
leave one phone in the kitchen, one in the garage, and one in the
bedroom. They can call each other when we are too lazy to go get one
another or too far to scream at each other. They can all also share the
one "external" line. 
  Asterisk has been wonderful using Zapateller to
blast those damn predictive dialers. The Asterisk voice mail has been
wonderful too as it sends the recorded message to me and my wife at
work as an attachment to an email.
  Best of luck,

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Newbie just starting out with *

2003-08-14 Thread Chris Hirsch




Nice...so mixing and matching IP and POTS is ok and common then? 

I do care what the IP phones cost but then again I'm a gadget freak..if
it has a big enough "cool" factor I may be able to justify price. What
exactly does the Cisco phone get me over a Grandstream? I have an
NBX100 (3com voip) at work and while it has its nify features 3com
really dropped the ball on some of the features. Like 2K just to make
it a true IP phone and then it only works with NT and not a H.323
gateway..but thats a whole other thing that irks me.

Can any of the IP phones play a wav file as a ring tone? What about
using an LDAP directory for dialing? I'd LOVE that and that may even
increase the "wife factor" too hehehe.

  My .02c...(Purely my own opinions)..

Get the X100P and if you need 4 analog ports get the TDM400P..

I use an X100P and a S100U(2 analog phone cordless system) and then 4 IP phones..

Your choice of IP phones are..

"I don't care what it costs" - Go for Cisco..

"I do care what it costs but still want something stylish and feature packed" - Go for Snom200..

"Cost is very important cos the budget is tight but I still want a good usable phone" - Go for Grandstream 101 or 102..

I have 2 Snom200's and 2 GS 102's..

enough horse power?

McAughan, Matt wrote:

  
  
  
  Chris:
  
  Try not to be so worried about sound card,
analog (FXO/FXS), digital (ISDN, BRI, PRI) and what is available by
connecting device. The channel drivers take care of making the
devicesavailable to Asterisk. In turn Asterisk makes all the features
such as voice mail, call parking, and conference bridges available to
the channels. Itis a beautifuland flexible design. many thanks
toMark!With a few exceptionsmost features will be available to all
connection methods.
  
  Yes you can upgrade the TDM400P. My
thinking was to get at least two ports on it when I purchased it
originally so I could call phone-to-phone internally without using our
only external phone line. That way I could learn to configure and use
asterisk with out annoying my friends in family trying to call in.
  
  Zapateller does not stop telemarketers it
stops the predictive dialers they use. Ever received a call and
answered hello two or three times before you get a person? That is a
predictive dialer loaded with a list of numbers dialing all of their
phone lines as quickly as possible. It will do it more efficiently than
a group of agents witha phone number list in hand.
  
  When you answerthe dialertakes a moment
to diagnose the fluctuations in the voice.The dialermakes a
determination if someone even answered and if so if you are a person or
an answering machine. If you turn out to be what it thinks is a
realpersonit must find anavailable agent. That is what causes the
pregnant pause. It has to find someone since you turned out to be a
real person.
  
  Now what Zapateller can do is answer the
phone and play the SIT (special information tone). When the dialer
hears this it thinks your number is no longer in service and hopefully
removes your number from that companies list. The other thing it can do
is just play the SIT tones to any incoming call not providing caller id.
  
  Just take the plunge, buy the equipment,
play around and come back here when you get stuck,

"internal" extensions to plug analog phones in to. I just use three
cordless phones with the base stations plugged in near the Asterisk
computer. We leave one phone in the kitchen, one in the garage, and one
in the bedroom. They can call each other when we are too lazy to go get
one another or too far to scream at each other. They can all also share
the one "external" line. 
  Asterisk has been wonderful using Zapateller to
blast those damn predictive dialers. The Asterisk voice mail has been
wonderful too as it sends the recorded message to me and my wife at
work as an attachment to an email.
  Best of luck, 
  Matt

What about a wiki? I personally don't like forums because I prefer the
content pushed onto me and then let Mozilla do its magic with sorting
and stuff. When I do have a problem however I first do a google unless
there is a wiki present. Nine times out of ten, when users can post
their own answers and help evolve documentation online it helps
everybody, keeps everything organized and is usually much more up to
date. BTW that also means that the main developers don't have to worry
about keeping documentation up to date :-) That alone should be worth
it hahaha.

  Perhaps there is another way to cut down on increased traffic...

Specifically, I would go back to the suggestion of a collaborative website
for documentation.  Collecting info and organizing into Howto's would reduce
the number of times people ask the same questions.  Also, the documentation
could grow as quickly as the project.  Unfortunately, I don't have a place
to host it currently.  Ideally, the list would just be for issues that
aren't already addressed.  Any one else interested in this?
  

While it still needs to be done, the majority of those type questions
will still happen as the newest users still don't use google until told
to do so.

  
  
I don't buy that.  I think that people are much more likely to check out
documentation linked to directly on the site than they are to utilize
Dr. Google's resources.  Even if you google, the results can be
confusing.  Also, some people aren't quite sure what question they need
to ask, and some entry-level documentation would help that.

the Asterisk TDM Dev Kit or does that just let me do one analog phone 
into the system? When converting from analog to VOIP do I get all the 
same features that I would if I got a TDM400P (4 ports of analog devices)?

As I said I'm new and I would LOVE any pointers, HOWTOs or any good 
advice from people who have already done something similar. This project 
started out because I'm tired of the telemarketers calling and it looks 
like this will be the best and most flexable way to get my phone system 
wired up. I'm interested in any opinions on any real VOIP phones for a 
house (assuming VOIP) is the way to go.

I envision that I could have a phone in every room, be able to do an 
intercom, MOH so I can hear music in each room etcideas?

Thanks for the help and your patience,
Chris
