Usually you'd only need to go to the trunk to get features that
haven't made it into the "stable" tarballs yet.

2008-09-02 Thread Erik Anderson
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.

[asterisk-users] First-time queue app: verifying human member?

2008-07-07 Thread Erik Anderson
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

Increased data on the hard drive won't really have an affect on
reliability or performance.

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?
Is it better to only have one server to manage/update/etc versus two?

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.

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.

Agreed - I'm sure you'll be much more happy with the stability of your
vanilla asterisk implementation (assuming you're running on a stable

Since phpagi is really just a set of php libraries, all you need to do

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).  That's most likely the reason the remote server is
rejecting these emails.

That's a good start, but you'll also need to open the RTP ports as
well - these usually fall in the 10k-20k udp range. 5060/udp is used
for call signalling only, the actual voice data can use a variety of
ports, depending on how you're set up.  You can specify what RTP ports
you want to use in your rtp.conf.

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.

True, a fraction more.  If you have that little overhead on your

[asterisk-users] Semi-OT: bluetooth conference phone?

2008-02-11 Thread Erik Anderson
All - I've been trying to pick out a bluetooth conference phone that I
could use with a softphone along with my asterisk server. I've been
looking at the TrendNet TVP-SP4BK.  Have any of you used this device
or any other bluetooth conference phone?  How have your experiences
been?

Thanks!

My bet is that it's not a *true* DMZ.  You're still dealing with NAT,

Re: [asterisk-users] Server Compatibility List for Asterisk

2008-01-31 Thread Erik Anderson
It is my understanding that the cast majority of the compatibility
issues went away with the recent chipset change on the digium cards.
Soa compatibility list really isn't needed.

I've run the digium cards on all manner of Dell hardware (from
old-school desktops all the way to the high end servers) and have
never had issues.

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.

DD-WRT will do both HTB and HFSC shaping, though I've only ever used HTB.

Here's the dd-wrt wiki page on its QoS implementation:

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Quality_of_Service

Looks like they don't recommend HFSC currently due to some lag issues.
That might have been fixed, though, in the more recent firmware
builds.

Pick up a Linksys WRT54GL and install dd-wrt on it. That will traffic
shape any type of traffic you want.  I have installed several of these

Sangoma maintains a patchset that gets applied to the stock zaptel

Are the calls poor quality in both directions or on just one of the
"legs" of the call?  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?  Here's the one
that I use:

http://www.voipreview.org/voipspeedtester.aspx

This sort of test is ideal for VoIP because unlike most other speed
tests, it measures latency, jitter, etc.

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.

HTH-

Dovid - what exactly are you hoping this "sip aware" firmware will do
that dd-wrt doesn't?  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.  I do know that they (the dd-wrt people) have a voip
edition of dd-wrt available.  I'm not sure what additional
functionality it has over the standard version, though.

Agreed - I have all of my servers send their syslogs to
/var/log/messages on one central logging server.  If you want to
examine a device-specific log, just use tail + grep.  That said, any

Just call me out if you feel the need to. Please don't try and hide
behind the "some people on here" type of comments. Call me out
directly if you feel the need.  I can take it :-)

So...I don't feel the need to prove myself to you.  I have a fairly
good grasp on the conf file syntax, and with a well-thought out and
well documented goal, it's not unreasonable for me to say that I can
type out a config from scratch in 30 minutes.  After working in vim
for as long as I have, you learn to use the many shortcuts that it
provides for text manipulation, copy buffers, moving blocks of code
around, etc.  I also use a syntax highlighting rule file for asterisk
configs, so any typos I make are immediately evident.

It's really remarkable how this discussion has turned into a pissing
match.  I could really care less if you have a hard time believing my
statements.  I'm not trying to push CLI on you or anyone.  Yes - I
recommend that people give it a try before going to a GUI, but I fully
recognize that vanilla asterisk text configuration isn't for everyone.

Well - there's a large amount of subjectivity in your question, but
perhaps I'll answer with "not long".  I don't know - 20 sip
extensions, maybe 5 minutes. Probably another 30 for the dialplan and
debugging.

My point still stands - use what you're comfortable with.  I spend the
vast amount of my day working through an SSH console into various
linux servers, so it would only make sense that for me (and many other
CLI geeks), it doesn't make sense to use a GUI.  I actually get a
little put out when I have to switch over to my browser or another GUI
tool to get things done.

So - the CLI is what works for me.  I'm not going to push that on you
or anyone as the definitive best management tool for asterisk.

This is *very* much a "to each their own" issue.  You say that a web
GUI is more efficient - I say that vi is more effecient.  You say that
using a text editor is more error-prone - I say that a web GUI is more
likely to mess things up in a difficult way to troubleshoot.

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.

For this load level (even with high-load transcoding), a multi-core

Hey Forrest - thanks for the information.  Might you be able to send

asterisk was supported?  I've been in conversation with our Sales rep

[asterisk-users] anyone using SIP trunks from Time Warner Telecom?

2007-10-08 Thread Erik Anderson
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.

Thanks!

I'll have to refute this.  Every single asterisk system I've put

William - this has been discussed ad nauseam on the list recently.
Some will suggest that you forget Digium and use instead a Sangoma
card.  I personally have only used Sangoma cards, so I can't speak to
the quality of any other brands. My feeling, however, is that you'll
have an equally pleasant experience regardless of whether you choose
Digium or Sangoma.

So - to answer your question directly, there really aren't that many
Digium cards to choose from:

http://www.digium.com/en/products/hardware/digitalcards.php

You need to choose how many T1 spans you need and whether you want a
hardware EC chip on the card.  I'm not sure if Digium sells a PCIe
version of their single-port card.

[asterisk-users] sip.conf best practices?

2007-09-18 Thread Erik Anderson
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?

Thanks!

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.  I'm not sure what the
equivalent for Digium cards is, but I'm sure it's possible.

You never answered as to whether or not you're able to get out past
your gateway with any other network applications on your asterisk
server.  Fire up [links/lynx] and pull up www.google.com.  Does it
work?

Mike - there's no reason this routing problem would have anything to
do with asterisk itself.Have you tried running links (or another
text web browser) on the asterisk server to see if you're able to get
traffic past the gateway?  Do you have the default gateway and/or
routing tables configured correctly on the asterisk server?

Well - with this situation, I'm not so much concerned about CPU load
as I am PCI bus stability.  When getting this server set up, the Dell
BMC caught a few odd PCI errors.  I haven't been able to reproduce
them.  At the time the errors occurred, I didn't have any active spans
up, so I couldn't determine if the PCI errors would possibly cause
calls to drop.  This is my main reasoning for wanting long-running
calls - I'd let the calls run until I see this error come up again and
then see if any of the dropped.

Perhaps my troubleshooting logic is flawed, though...

Brian - thanks for the reply.  If you read my email, I believe I make

[asterisk-users] Load testing/burn-in for Sangoma quad PRI card

2007-08-28 Thread Erik Anderson
Hello all -

I'm about to deploy an asterisk server here at work.  Before
deploying, I'd like to do an extended load test on the system.  I
currently have T1 crossover cables connecting ports 1->2 and 3->4.
Would there be an easy way to script generating a bunch of calls
across these spans?  I envision generating 23 calls over the 1->2 span
and 23 over the 3->4 span.  I'd like to start the calls and then let
them stay connected for several days to make sure things are in order.
 This number of calls would be a *lot* higher load than this system
would ever see, but I just want to be safe.

Is there currently any script out there that would facilitate this
sort of testing?

Here's my current config:

linux-2.6.21
asterisk-1.4.10
zaptel-1.4.4
wanpipe-3.1.3
libpri-1.4.1

Thanks!
-Erik

Off the cuff, I can't recall if asterisk can listen for (in this case
I assume) SIP on multiple ports.  It would be quite easy to do this
redirection with iptables, though.

Yes - certainly possible.  There's nothing different about the call
routing going from SIP->Zap as from SIP->SIP really.  Assuming that
you already have your zaptel device(s) configured correctly, something
like this in your dialplan is all you'll need.  This also assumes you

There is no global "ideal" solution. The solution that is ideal for
*you* depends on many factors:

- What will the tunnel be used for?
- How secure do you want the tunnel to be?
- What is your level of familiarity with linux networking/routing?
- etc., etc.

Pick something - be it vtund, OpenVPN, Racoon, IAX trunk encryption,
ssh tunnels, etc.  Play with it and see if it's something that will
fulfill your requirements.  If so, put it into production and be done
with it.

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions on how to troubleshoot this
issue.  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 makes me think it could be something
simple...

I'm not sure what analog prices are in your area, but I'd be fairly
certain that the costs for 30 analog lines would be *far* more
expensive than an E1 line. Cost aside, terminating and managing 30
analog lines will be a big pain.  Go with the E1 - it'll save you many

Good idea - I just emailed them. Hopefully they'll respond quickly. My

[asterisk-users] low-level dump for PRI dchan debugging

2007-08-06 Thread Erik Anderson
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.

Any ideas?

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.

[asterisk-users] pri "call by call" trunking?

2007-08-01 Thread Erik Anderson
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.
