[Asterisk-Users] news-reading question

2006-03-09 Thread Dan Miller



Is there some way I can follow this list from a newsgroup?? 
Is this the same as the gmane group gmane.comp.telephony.pbx.asterisk.user 
??

[Asterisk-Users] Re: PLEASE respond: how to get Asterisk to change coders on RTP handoff?? HELLO???

2006-03-08 Thread Dan Miller



So, when I get no comments on this at all, either here or on any of the 
forums, does that mean nobody knows what I'm talking about?? Or does 
nobody know the answer?? Or is it just a stupid question and nobody wants 
to bother telling me where to look??

It *is* a question that I have to answer somehow; I've read all through 
TFOT and see nothing relevant to this issue. It's silly to spend $15000 on 
a G723 license just so I can play back menu messages from Asterisk (since the 
actual call decoding is done by the external boxes, which have already paid the 
licensing fees).

  Asterisk to change coders on RTP handoff??
  
  I have a hardwareFXO/FXS which handle my voip calls, and they 
  support G723 internally. Asterisk hands off these calls just fine, and 
  everything works, as long as I don't wantPBX menues 
  available... The problem is, once I want it to return messages, it will 
  only return them as GSM... which is fine, since my FXO/FXS support multiple 
  coders. However, even though Asterisk lets me specify a list of valid 
  coders, it will only use one...
  
  I want Ast to use GSM to playback messages, then when it hands off the 
  call to the endpoints, it should tell them to use G723 in the RE-INVITE 
  messages... I don't see any way to get it to do this; *is* there some 
  way??

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk coder conflicts

2006-03-03 Thread Dan Miller



We have an external FXO/FXS, and use Asterisk as a call router. We 
want to use G723 for the actual phone calls, because we have limited bandwidth 
on our return direction. This has been working fine so far. 

However, now we want to set up Asterisk to handle PBX menues and accept 
extentions. Asterisk, of course, uses GSM for its messages, and cannot 
terminate G723 calls. So I want to tell Asterisk, FXO, and FXS to use GSM 
for messages and G723 for the data connection. The FXO/FXS would support 
this, but Asterisk isn't working as I wish. Though I can provide it with a 
list of coding schemes:

; set up 
codecsdisallow=allallow=gsmallow=g723.1allow=g729

It never uses anything but the first one. So if I use the above 
scheme, messages are played successfully, but the calls go through using 
GSM. If I put G723.1 first, Asterisk aborts with an error message (cannot 
convert gsm to g723.1).

Is there some way I can solve this problem, such as explicitly telling * to 
use GSM for its messages, and G723 for the handed-off data 
connection??
