Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Trunk and normal
Bilal - I think you're perhaps confusing two meanings of the word "trunk". In this case, "trunk" is referring to the trunk of the SVN development repository, not SIP or IAX trunks. This can be seen as the main development area for asterisk.

Oliver - This is a project I've had my eye on for a while: http://www.splunk.com I've never used it, nor have I set it up, but from reading the feature list, it looks like it's able to keep an eye on any number of log files and notify you if it sees an error. Unless they have built-in asterisk support (which I doubt), I'd bet you'd need to specify some regex rules for what constitutes an "error". Anyway - report back if you end up giving it a try. I've wanted to get it set up for several months now, but haven't been able to due to lack of "play" time in my work schedule. -Erik ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] First-time queue app: verifying human member?
Good evening all - for the first time, I'm implementing my first-ever queue in asterisk. Overall, it's a pretty simple setup, 4 static members, very low call volume, etc. The one thing that has stumped me so far, though, is the following... This is a queue I'm setting up for contacting our IT support staff off-hours. As such, I've just added the cell phone numbers of our staff as members. I'd like to somehow verify that it's an actual human answering the phone when a member is dialed and not their mobile phone's voicemail. Is that possible? I'd envision just requesting that the member press "1" or something to accept the call. I currently have the timeout in queues.conf set low enough so that the call will never automatically roll over to that member's mobile voicemail, but I can't guaranty that the staff member won't just hit "Ignore" on their phone and send it directly to voicemail. Ideas? Thanks! -Erik -- Erik Anderson http://andersonfam.org ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I can't speak directly to the asterisk + openfire situation. I can, however, say that I've been running openfire for nearly a year now on a very highly-loaded server (other than openfire, it's running nagios and cacti, monitoring about 300 devices around our network) - the load average on this 5-year single processor old dell server is pegged near 1.00 24x7. I haven't had a single problem with openfire, and I have between 50 and 100 open sessions at any one time. In the year that I've been running openfire, I've only had to restart it once, and that was to upgrade the software. It takes very little CPU, and a modest amount of RAM. > Is it better for production to run Openfire on a separate server than the PBX? What's your definition of "better". Is it better to not have all your eggs in one basket? Is it better to only need to purchase one server?

Speaking personally, I'd have no problems putting openfire and asterisk on the same box. If needed, you could even just "nice" the openfire process down to a lower priority than asterisk - it's not as latency-sensitive as asterisk is. I'd doubt you'll need to do that, though. -Erik ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I'm guessing this is for just a few calls at a time, correct? I'd guess that rather than these quality issues being caused by cramped bandwidth, they're actually being caused by latency issues. Have you ever checked the latency of the connection between your asterisk server and your SIP/IAX endpoint? If it's really high (say 300ms+) or if the latency is really erratic, you'll have quality issues. You didn't mention whether you are doing traffic shaping on your upstream connection, so I'll assume you're not. That would be something good to look into - with traffic shaping, you can prioritize your VoIP traffic over all other types of network traffic. -erik ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Does your ISP provide an SMTP server you can use? If so, it's usually easiest to set that up as a "smarthost" and tell sendmail to send through that server. If this isn't an option, you need to make sure that your asterisk server has a valid publicly-available DNS record (and reverse DNS).

In theory, this wouldn't be difficult at all. I'd imagine it could go something like this: set up one central conference server. Each branch server would call an extension (zap/sip/iax/whatever) on the main server, which in turn would dump it into a certain meetme room. Alternatively, you could have the central server call out to the branch servers and join them to the meetme room. In practice, though, I have no idea how the audio quality would be. -erik ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Any compatibility issues? If not, I might stock up on them. Wow - that *is* a great price. I don't have any of this particular box in production, but I do have 2 PowerEdge SC440s (one step up from the T105) running asterisk along with Sangoma PRI cards. They're working great. I really only have two issues with these low-end servers: 1. You can't order 'em with RAID support. I'm getting around this by using software RAID1 in linux, but I'd much prefer having a hardware RAID controller. 2. The Dell DRAC remote management cards aren't compatible with these low-end server motherboards. I've become *completely* addicted to the DRAC cards on the high-end PowerEdges, to the point that I now refuse to order a server without a DRAC card. That said, I'm sure this server would run a small/medium asterisk install just fine. -Erik ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Implementing QoS on your router will really only help network traffic going *out* of your network. In otherwords, you can really only affect your upload traffic. One thing to consider is that you may just have a poor-quality internet connection. Have you done a VoIP speed test?

Sure - I use the default HTB traffic scheduler. The number one tricky thing about traffic shaping that most people miss is that they don't set their uplink speed correctly. For 99% of the use cases out there, you have no control of your downlink speeds, so there's not a whole lot you can do for that - you really only have control of your uplink packets. So - do a bunch of speed tests and then set your uplink speed to about 80% of your max upload speed. That will ensure that there's always a bit of overhead and that your link itself will never be the uploade bottleneck. After doing this, just start classifying traffic. Here's a synopsis of the rules I use: - DNS - high priority - SIP - express priority - RTP - express priority - HTTP/https - bulk priority - (other p2p applications) - bulk priority Putting those rules in place should make a big difference. You can also specify a specific ethernet jack on the router that will get high priority if that would help in your setup.

I've been using dd-wrt in combination with various SIP ITSPs for several years and have had no problems - just add the necessary port forwards and a few traffic shaping rules and it works just fine.

There are quite literally hundreds of VoIP service providers out there: Here's a list of some of them: http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/VOIP+Service+Providers+Residential Billing schemes usually fall into one of two categories. They'll either bill you a flat monthly fee for an "unlimited" plan or one with a large number of minutes. Or...they'll bill you on a per-minute, usage-only basis. The only provider I've had direct experience with is Teliax. I'm on an outgoing-only plan with them and it's been perfect so far. They bill something like $0.025/minute. If you want incoming calls as well, there's a per-month DID charge. If you are just wanting to receive incoming calls, check out IPKall - they'll give you a DID and a SIP trunk to your PBX for incoming calls. -erik ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[asterisk-users] anyone using SIP trunks from Time Warner Telecom?
I am currently using a T1 PRI from TWTelecom for DID and outgoing calls, but I recently discovered that they're offering call termination/origination over SIP trunks in my area now. If they could deliver these SIP trunks to me over a guaranteed-QoS circuit, this would be of great interest to me. We're already using a DS3 circuit from TW for our internet uplink, so I'd imagine it wouldn't be difficult for them to honor the QoS flags we set on the SIP/RTP packets. Anyway - has anyone had any experience with Time Warner's SIP trunks? Officially it seems that they only support CCM and Avaya PBXs, but I'd imagine asterisk could be massaged into working just fine. Thoughts? I'm currently negotiating with our TW Sales Rep. to see if they could provision a few test DIDs on a SIP trunk so I can verify compatibility, so I *should* hopefully have answers soon for many of these questions.

[asterisk-users] sip.conf best practices?
All - I've been wrestling with how to best structure the sip device accounts on a new asterisk server I'm deploying. All of the sip devices (currently only Linksys SPA941s) will reside on the same subnet as the server, and I have already set up a decent automatic provisioning system for the phones. When the rollout is complete, there will be about 100 SIP devices authenticating and routing calls through this server. The question is what to use for the username portion of the SIP account. Part of me says that I should standardize on using each phone's MAC address as the sip account UID, like so: ; Joe Smith, x123 [000E08DA0409] secret = blahblah ... and so on and so forth Doing it that way is nice for standardization's sake, but it makes the dialplan quite a bit more complex. The obvious alternative is to use the extension as the sip UID: ; Joe Smith, x123 [123] secret = blahblah ... This makes the dialplan *much* more simple, but when looking through sip.conf, it's not as immediately obvious what device should be authenticating with that account. Since this is my first large-ish asterisk deployment, I'm seeking the advice of those who have gone before me. What tactic (one of the above options or otherwise) is best to keep your sip.conf sane?

To get the equivalent of a packet sniffer, you'll need to go to a lower-level tool than asterisk. For sangoma cards, you can use the `wanpipemon` command to do a packet dump.

When getting this server set up, the Dell BMC caught a few odd PCI errors. I haven't been able to reproduce them.

After working with the telco for over a week on this, I finally got them to admit today that they have a configuration problem. I had been telling this since day 1, but they didn't listen to me. Their change in perspective came when they had a tech come on-site with a PRI emulator device. He connected that directly to my asterisk server and was able to make calls with no issues whatsoever. Fortunately after this final test, they admitted that the problem must be on their end. Hopefully they'll get it sorted today. As an aside, I had a quick question regarding smartjacks. Is there a jumper or something on the smartjack itself to change from an old-style E&M T1 to a PRI? I'd think that change would happen in the telco's switch, but I just thought it might be a possibility. In my case, as I stated in my original email, the bchannels come up fine, but not the dchannel.

This sounds like a great idea - I'm going to try and get Sangoma and the telco tech on the horn at the same time tomorrow. -Erik ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Good idea - I just emailed them. Hopefully they'll respond quickly. My normal contact there (Jignesh) is either out of the office today or at least he forgot to start up MSN this morning, as he's showing offline. Hopefully he's not the only tech support guy there. -erik ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] low-level dump for PRI dchan debugging
I've been going back and forth with my telco for several days, trying different configurations to get a new PRI to come up. The bchannels are all up and the T1 is not in alarm status. The dchannel refuses to come up however. We've tried ni2, qsig, and now dms100 for the switchtype. The telco tech I've been working with says that he's been sending "reset all channels" signals to my system, to which he's getting an "establish remote" response from my asterisk box. I've been running a packet dump (wanpipemon -i w1g1 -c trd) of my d-channel this whole time and have yet to see a single incoming packet. I believe I *should* be seeing an incoming packet when he sends the reset, correct? Is there any way to do a completely raw dump of the d-channel? Here are my specs: linux-2.6.16 libpri-1.3.5 zaptel-1.2.19 asterisk-1.2.21.1 The PRI interface is a Sangoma A102...it's running the latest firmware and I'm running wanpipe-2.3.4-12 for the sangoma drivers.

If I'm reading the docs correctly, this param should only be set to 0 if you *never* want to use the T1 connected to this port for timing. That's not the case in my situation, as I need to be syncing with the telco's clock. That said, in the interest of troubleshooting, I did try setting it to zero - this didn't fix the problem. -erik ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[asterisk-users] pri "call by call" trunking?
I've been working with a telco for the past two days trying to get a PRI span up and running. This is a small-ish telco and I get the feeling they don't do this very often. Anyway, they specified a pretty standard setup: ni2 switchtype, esf framing, b8zs coding, etc. All of my b-channels are up, but we're having a heck of a time getting the d-channel to come up. He finds out that this is an asterisk system and says that to get this working, I'm going to need to turn on "call-by-call" trunking. Have any of you heard of this? I certainly haven't. A quick google search doesn't turn up anything. Thoughts? This is a Sangoma A102 card, by the way. In this case, though, I don't think that's of any relevance. -Erik -- Erik Anderson http://andersonfam.org ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
