[asterisk-users] how to add extensions and sip registrations dynamically

2008-09-20 Thread George Williams
Hi,

I have inherited some code that appears to implement a kluge-y way of adding
and removing extensions, sip devices, and sip registrations dynamically.

Yep, you guessed it - it modifies the extensions.conf and sip.conf files,
and then execute script to ask Asterisk to reload the dialplan and the sip
module.

Is there a better way to do this?

:)

[asterisk-users] getting results messages from CLI commands via -rx

2008-09-19 Thread George Williams
Hi,

I am issuing CLI commands via script, using the asterisk -rx method.

Its working great.  Now, I need to get the results of the command to look
for error messages, etc.

I've tried setting several -v flags as well, but I only get the Asterisk
startup text (version, license info, etc), not the results of the command
itself.

Is this even possible?

Thanx!

[asterisk-users] strategy for measuring conference audio delay

2008-09-17 Thread George Williams
Hi,

I have need to measure the end-to-end audio delay in the MeetMe conference
application.

Currently, I have written a python program that connects to an Asterisk
MeetMe conference via SIP, and pumps RTP packets into the conference.

Another instance of the program dials into the same conference and receives
the mixed RTP stream.

I figure I can have both python programs running on the same machine -
essentially creating an echo test setup.  Then, all I have to do is measure
the time delay between when I send the audio stream to when I receive it.

I think I'm being a bonehead, but the trick appears to be in what kind of
RTP packets to generate and how to analyze the mixed audio stream coming
back from Asterisk.  Preferably, I would send one RTP packet that gets mixed
in a predictable way and then I can look for it in the receive stream.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this, given my setup?

Thanx!

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk phone conferencing performance

2008-09-10 Thread George Williams
Yes, I am using the ztdummy and 1.6beta Asterisk.  There is no load on the
machine - hovers between 1%-2% CPU usage during the conference.

Thank you.

You shouldn't have any delays at all.

Are you using ztdummy for timing? and what kind of load does the box
have on it?

 Hi,

 I just set up my first Asterisk with MeetMe conference support on my
 local LAN.

 It works great, but I think it may need a little tuning - I am
 getting audio delays of up to 1 second.  Should I expect better
 performance in this area, or is this to be expected?

 Thanx!
