[Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP 300 VoiceMail Retrieval

2004-11-05 Thread Greg Boehnlein
Hello,
I have just picked up a pair of SoundPoint IP 300 phones for 
testing purposes, and they work great. Really good quality units for the 
price. I only have two complaints/issues with them;

1. The $40 additional cable for POE to work. That sucks.

2. I can't for the life of me figure out the "Single Keypress Voicemail 
Access" that they are talking about in the manual;

According to the Polycom manual:

3.6 Advanced Server Features

3.6.1 Voicemail Integration
SoundPoint IP is compatible with voicemail servers. The subscribe contact 
and callback mode can be configured per user/registration on the phone. 
The phone can be configured with a SIP URL to be called automatically by 
the phone when the user elects to retrieve messages. Voicemail access can 
be configured to be via a single keypress if only one registration has 
voicemail set up. A message-waiting signal from a voicemail server will 
trigger the message-waiting indicator to flash.

Configuration file:
ipmid.cfg
For one-touch voicemail access, enable the one-touch
voicemail user preference. For more information, see 4.6.1.2 User 
Preferences  on page 65.

Configuration file:
phone1.cfg
For one-touch voicemail access, choose to bypass instant messages to 
remove the step of selecting between instant messages and voicemail after 
pressing the Messages button (instant messages are still accessible from 
the Main Menu). On a per-registration basis, specify a subscribe contact 
for solicited NOTIFY applications, a callback mode (self callback or 
another contact), and the contact to call when the user accesses 
voicemail. For more information, see 4.6.3.5 Messaging  on page 124.

Now.. I've added the following in ipmid.cfg;

 

And have the following in phone100.cfg

 

 

Any idea what I am missing?

About 350 megs if you keep the entire development environment and the 
source code around. If you go the embedded route, and build your Asterisk 
stuff on a different CoLinux image, and install it into the Ram Disk 
image, I imagine you could get the size down to about 100 megs or so.

And true to form, a firmware upgrade fixes the problem:

>From the SIP 1.3.1 release notes, a list of bugs fixed...

7570 Voice Mail cannot be accessed with standard IP 300 user interface

And after the upgrade, it works like a champ.

/me laments the fact that the IP 300 doesn't have a VoiceMail button. How 
lame! :)

Wow.. this is totally unacceptable. Has anyone contacted the GNU

I just purchased a pair of SoundPoint IP 300's for use with Asterisk. Came 
with the SIP firmware loaded on it. Registered fine against Asterisk. I 
was able to register my phone at Polycom's website and setup an account to 
download firmware and manuals, but did not find the latest firmware there, 
only an older release.

Found the firmware from a link on the Wiki. Loaded it, and it solved a 
couple of minor bugs.

Phones work good. No major issues. However, I'm a little pissed that 
Polycom advertises the phones as supporting Power Over Ethernet, when in 
fact the phone has no POE chipset in it. You need to purchase an 
additional $40 cable if you want to plug it into a POE setup.

Yep. They have no onboard POE chip, hence the reduced cost. Polycom gets 
away saying they support POE by selling you at $40 cable that contains 
either a Cisco or 802.3af compliant dongle.

Well, that depends how important it is to have phone service during a 
power outage, and what their UPS budget is! ;) When you add another $55 / 
workstation for individual UPS units just to ensure the phones work, 
rather than centralizing that and getting a big-ass central UPS for the 
entire system, the numbers even out a bit more! ;)

If you decide to go down the Windows client route, I would highly 
reccomend Virbiage's FireFly IAX client. I use it quite a bit on my Laptop 
and it has been rock solid.

How about the following topology for a bit of discussion:

Telco -> T100P -> * Server A -> IAX2 -> * Server B -> T100P -> PRI PBX

In this case, we have Server A pulling timing from the telco, ensuring 
they are in Synch. On the other side of the IAX2 link, we have Server B 
generating timing onto the span for the PBX to listen to. T100P is set to 
emulate an NI-2 switch.

Seems to work without much of a problem, as it should! ;)

[Asterisk-Users] VoIP Business Weekly Article

2004-11-30 Thread Greg Boehnlein
My copy of VoIP Business Weekly came today and the main article on the 
front page is titled: "Penguin to Assault PBX Market". Their premise is 
that Linux is driving the adoptation of Open voice standards in the 
market, and as such is poised to disrupt the dominance of market leaders.

Third paragraph is a description of Asterisk and and the laundry list of 
features.

I think you would be insane to run your production servers on Fedora Core 
3. Most of the components in Fedora are experimental and not well tested. 
Indeed, the entire point of Fedora is to experiment. You would be much 
better served to run your installation on RedHat Enterprise Linux, or one 
of the free alternatives such as Tao Linux or White Box.

Well, then roll your own and stop whining about it. Quite frankly calling 
it "hackware" shows that you have no concept of how much work has gone 
into the Sveasoft firmware, nor do you grasp the concept that Linksys is 
incorporating many of the Sveasoft changes BACK into their firmware. 
Everyone wins from this, and Sveasoft has a revenue stream that allows 
them to keep focused development on improving the firmware. I have over 60 
of the WRT54GS units in production and I run Sveasoft firmware on every 
single one of them. It is so far ahead of Linksys's internal builds and 
adds so many additional features that there is no comparison between the 
two.

"Hackware" indeed. What an insult to all of the quality developers that 
are putting their time and effort into extending the platform and making 
it one of the most incredible sub $100 routing platforms on the planet.

Plenty of people know. If you can't do a google search for it, this isn't

Just use app_queue and define a list of members as the SIP extensions. It

adding 100 extensions into your dial-plan.

I have a Dell, 1 Ghz PIII 1U rackmount server, w/ a T100P (PRI) running 
Tao Linux (RedHat Enterprise 3.0) on 2 40 gig drives in RAID-1.

I've had as many as 20 calls on the box at one time, and never noticed an 
issue. Of course, 90% of our calls are pass-through Ulaw, and although 
we have g729 licenses it doesn't get used very much.

Never had a problem with it so far.

However, if you are looking for an IDE Hardware Raid solution, I have 
tried everything on the market, and I can honestly say that for price, 
compatibility and reliability, the 3Ware cards are the best bet. This is 
the only card that we spec for clients, as the Promise and Adaptec stuff 
is garbage.

Incidentally, if you want a good deal on a Promise Fast-Track SX 6000, I 
have a few laying aroung! ;)

This is NOT generally true. Many of the embedded Promise controllers,

Andrew,
You need my agent-preack-announce patch. This allows you to define 
a "preack=gsmfile" in your agents.conf, which will be played BEFORE the 
agent hits the "#" key to accept the call.

The patch and associated sound files etc.. are up on the bugtracker at:

Please see:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Cisco+POE

I am using 3Com POE injectors (the Dumb kind) with Cisco 7960s without a 
problem. You need a special cable that you can build or, you can buy a 
PowerDSine POE injector and get the following (part PD-PS-401-5/CSCS) 
which will do the same thing as the cable.

Not in terms of POE. No 7960 supports the 802.3af POE protocol and instead 
uses a proprietary Cisco protocol.

The cable that is referenced on those pages reverses the polarity of the 
wires, which with a dumb power injector like the 3com will allow you to 
use the Cisco. However, if you get a regular 802.3af injector, that 
actually speaks and respects the protocol, it STILL won't work with a 
Cisco.

I use the following dumb injector with my Cisco cable;

It works.

I run Asterisk on a Pentium 133 w/ 16 megs of ram and routinely have 2-3 
ulaw to g726 transcoded sessions going on.

Works just peachy. The max I've ever done is 6 channels before I started 
having some dropouts in audio. 

So a Duron 1.2 Ghz should do just fine. ;)

Yes. The networking issue that you are fighting with is the hardest part. 
If you haven't please check out:

http://www.colinux.org/wiki/index.php/coLinuxNetworking

Look about halfway down the page for "Native network (Bridged) 
(Windows2000 or WindowsXP)"

Follow the instructions. I'll bet any money that you are having problems 
finding out what the real name of your Network adapter is.

It's not a "simulated linux system". CoLinux is a kernel that runs in Ring 
0 of the Windows kernel, with direct access to the Processor and MMU. It 
runs in it's own protected memory space. The ONLY thing it uses Windows 
for is to actually load the kernel and handle the I/O drivers. Otherwise, 
CoLinux is running natively on your hardware... At the same TIME as 
windows.

So, it isn't like running Vmware. It's a LOT faster, and if you set it up 
right, you can even boot your existing Linux partition.

It's the best way to run Windows -AND- Linux at the same time. Blows the 
pants off of BoCHS and Vmware in speed.

I've been running my home PBX under AstWind for about a month now. Even 
after the Windows kernel has crashed and the system is completely hung, 
CoLinux and AstWind continue to run without a problem! It's pretty 
amazing.

Yep.. Don't you hate the network driver names that these things pick? 
Couldn't they just call it "Intel PRO 100" or something simple like "Pro 
100"

CoLinux 0.6.2 will allow you to use the name that YOU assing to the 
connection in Windows. In most cases, this defaults to "Local Area 
Network", but you can easily change this by right clicking on it.

The next version of AstWind will use CoLinux 0.6.2 and will be far easier 
to setup. I may even let you choose a network adapter in a pull down from 
the installer and write that to the XML file for you upon installation.

If you have any tips, suggestions or please feel free to Email me, or

Just as a side note... CoLinux CANNOT YET interface with any Digium

a long time before it works! ;)

Someone needs to port Zaptel to CoLinux! ;)

Martin,
I authored both the rc.debian.asterisk and rc.redhat.asterisk 
scripts that are currently in CVS. Your script looks good and works. 
However, would you mind taking a look at the rc.redhat.asterisk script in 
your asterisk/contrib/init.d directory and comparing it against yours?

Both the Debian and RedHat scripts in CVS have some intelligence built 
into them that do the following:

1. Check for, and use safe_asterisk if it is available.
2. Allow for the setting of the User and Group that Asterisk will run 
   under using the new "-U" and "-G" options that Mark added.
3. Correctly detect and pass these parameters to safe_asterisk, which
   as of June, was modified to append command line arguements.

If you do not have the time to do this, I'd like permission to take your 
work, merge it with mine and submit it to CVS. I've volunteered to handle 
the init scripts for the various platforms.

Let me know..

First, update to the following firmware:

Second, the cnf hard button doesn't work. Use the SOFT key that shows up 
on the LCD that says "Cnf On". I.E. put the first party on hold, call the 
second party, and after they answer the "Cnf On" button will appear in the 
LCD.

Or, you can just Xfer both parties to a MeetMe and call into it yourself. 
I do this a lot.

Or you could use AstWind, which runs concurrently with Windows and is 
built entirely on Open Source software (CoLinux Kernel, Debian, Asterisk) 
and avoid paying for Vmware! ;)

Plus, installation is a snap.

This is purely conjecture on my part, but it seems to me if the console is 
generating SIP Un/Registration messages, that it would be trivial for the 
manager interface to display them as well.

Gary,

When you do a "uname -a" what kernel version are you running? I'll 
take a look at this after we get back from the Waffle House.

I think I'll add a kernel version check to it and either force a "make" or 
a "make linux26" based on what is running.

On the init.d front, Mark committed my much improved redhat init scripts 
to CVS last month, but I haven't updated the RPMS to use them.

You are welcome. Keep in mind that any changes that you make should take 
into account the original design goal, which is to have a universal .spec 
file for all versions of RedHat from 7.3 onward. I.E. please try to keep 
distro specific changes defined ONLY for that distro and not globally 
applied to everything.

This is one of the issues w/ Zaptel. It has to be built for a specific 
kernel and architecture, so without maintaining every possible combination 
of kernel and OS, you are actually better off to just build the SRPM on 
your reference development platform.

I talked with the guys at Atacomm, and NetxUSA about the SNOM 200. 
Apparently, SNOM has temporarily stopped production of the SNOM 200 model, 
and instead replaced it with the SNOM 190. The problem is that the SNOM 
200 supports POE, but the 190 does not. SNOM claims that they will be 
manufacturing more SNOM 200 units.

I certainly hope so, as the SNOM 200 is a great phone. All other things 
aside, if I'm going to spend $269 on a phone though, it had better support 
Power Over Ethernet.

So, SNOM, if you are listening, please keep in mind that the PolyCom 
SoundPoint IP-500 is right in your market space, has a great speakerphone, 
supports POE and is cheaper. If you are going to produce more 200's, 
consider dropping 30% off the price, or you just might find yourselve's 
shut out of the market.

Matthew, for unparalelled hackability try the Linksys WRT54GS. It runs 
Linux, and supports QOS if you use the Sveasoft (http://www.sveasoft.com) 
firmware, or the OpenWRT firmware (http://www.openwrt.org).

I use the Sveasoft firmware ($20 / year for a subscription), but it kicks 
complete ass. I don't need to worry about anything, or you can build it 
yourself.

Also, people have Asterisk actually running -ON THE ROUTER- itself. How's 
that for cool? ;)

Well, yeah. ;)

But.. on another note, I just had what could amount to a brain-fart, or a 
good idea depending on how you look at it. There are some big issues with 
getting Asterisk to compile using uClibc rather than Libc, but if we could 
take the initial step of actually getting CVS Head to build cleanly 
against uClibc, these patches could be integrated back into the source 
tree making Asterisk more portable to embedded platforms. Sure, running 
uClibc on a Soekris or Via which have MMU's is not the same as a MIPS 
w/out an MMU, but it would be an important first step.

Amen! Speak the truth brother Olle! :)

I, too, have been waiting for a Stable tree. Sure, it's boring, but 
enterprising people can always backport features and add them as 
stand-alone modules to asterisk-addons. I am using Dundi with my 1.0.1 
servers and it works. Ask on #asterisk for the modularized version of it 
and someone is bound to point it out. Simply "make install" and grab the 
"dundi.conf.sample" from current CVS and go to town.

However, now that 1.0 has been feature frozen and released, there are a 
whole lot of companies out there who have breathed a large sigh of releif 
and are polishing up the final releases of ther Asterisk related software. 
This helps EVERYONE in the community, and further drives Asterisk into new 
locations. It allows Asterisk to actually have releases which are a known 
quanity and can be picked up and added to the various distributions. This 
is a GOOD GOOD thing! :)

John,
Per our conversation in San Fransciso, I am starting to push a

anywhere near the 5,000 concurrent call level on my boxes, but I am 
starting to see 150-160 concurrent calls coming through the system. In 
this case, these are SIP to SIP where Asterisk is staying in the media 
stream, but rarely transcoding. Approximately 99% of the calls coming 
through are just pass-through g729, with the occasional gsm conversion. 
I'm running Asterisk 1.2.4-svn in a completely stock configuration. I.E. 
no patches whatsoever, and absolutely performance tweaks. In fact, the 
system is running using MALLOC_DEBUG to catch memory leaks and is built 
using "dont-optimize" so we can get backtraces if things go south.

My Dial-Plan is highly optimized, with a focus on being as 
efficient as possible while offering failover options for call completion.

Well, debugging anything on the console with 160 concurrent calls coming 
through the system (sometimes 4-5 calls / second) is nearly impossible. 
Most of the time, I don't even run the console, and simply execute 
commands from a bash prompt as "asterisk -rx 'sip show channels'". I 
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS issue a "set verbose 0" before I reload the box, as 
a reload causes the box to hiccup slightly while it is printing the data 
to the console.

I had originally opted to write CDRs to disk and then import them into a 
SQL database, but after I cleaned up my dial-plan, I opted to use 
cdr_odbc. I am concerned that this could cause a blocking condition if the 
SQL server is unavailable, but for now I'm taking the risk because I need 
to have real-time stats on call statistics.

I know that Olle spent some time at SipIt w/ Asterisk, and he's been 
interested in doing some additional compliance and scalability testing. 
I'd like nothing better than to get a couple of key developers together 
for a weekend of scalability bashing somewhere, preferably outside of the 
regular conference circuit (too distracting) to push things to their 
limits.

Funny thing about codecs.. Sometimes you will get better quality audio and 
less chop when using ulaw on crappy connections. Why? Very simply because 
it sends less total audio information per packet, so it can withstand 
dropped packets a lot better than a highly compressed codec, especially 
with a good jitter buffer and PLC implementation on the other side. I'd 
expect that Vonage is running something with a decent PLC and Jitter 
buffer, which would explain your results.

Try using CVS head and enabling the SIP jitter buffer and PLC code w/ Ulaw 
and see if it improves your results.

[Asterisk-Users] Memory Leak in Stable?

2005-07-20 Thread Greg Boehnlein
Hello,
I have a client that has a fairly small installation (20 SIP 
Phones) that is running Stable. Asterisk appears to be consuming large 
quantities of memory, and growing uncontrollably to the point where after 
about 6 weeks the box starts to swap itself to death. I've been keeping my 
eye on it today, and in the last 12 hours, it has grown by about 8 
megabytes, and there has been no-one in the office placing any calls.

What can I do to debug this? This is a production system, so during 
business hours I can't muck about with it, but after-hours I can pretty 
much do whatever I want to it... I just need some guidance.

Score one bug fixed for Clue Con! Mark gave me some pointers on how to 
debug this, and I did some legwork for him. He was able to isolate the 
memory leak to app_dial, and sumbmitted patches to both Stable and Head

Then you have something misconfigured. I have nearly 100 of them deployed

Hmm.. That's funny. I called yesterday and talked to someone who told me 
the upgrade to Second Gen firmware was free, but that if I wanted to add 
the Echo Cancelling module, it would be $850. Since I do not have any 
major echo issues that software echo cancelling can't fix, I declined the 
upgrade. They even offered me an advance replacement option as long as I 
provided a Credit Card.

The RMA process was painless. I spoke with Joy Lister. I should have my 
new card early next week.

It's not going to work. Vmware presents a complete Virtual PC, so unless 
EMC / Vmware release drivers to specifically connect the Virtual PC to the 
real PC hardware, you are in trouble. The do a pass-through w/ USB, Serial 
and Paralell, but those are a different story.

I'm afraid that under any Virtual platform (CoLinux, Vmware, MS Virutal 
PC) you are SOL as far as real access to hardware on the host PCI bus 
w/out special drivers written specifically for that purpose. On the other 
hand, I'm sure that Vmware would be happy to help you out if you gave them 
a couple of million bucks! ;)

This works. I've done it on occasion for testing. However, because virtual 
PCs rarely operate on a real-time clock, mostly emulating these features, 
you will find that anything that read/writes to disk will suck badly. For 
example, it is nearly impossible to use the Voicemail features of Asterisk 
under Vmware, CoLinux or UserMode Linux. Believe me, I've tried! ;)

This is one of the main reasons that AstWind has stagnated. The timing 
granularity of the virtual machines is not acceptable for doing anything 
IO related.

[Asterisk-Users] Bugs that Need Your Input!

2006-01-18 Thread Greg Boehnlein
Hello,
I know that Mog was trying to get the bug-tracker cleaned up as 
the number of bugs has increased substantially over the past few months. I 
figured that I would do my part to bring attention to a couple of bugs 
that are interesting and have some wide reaching impact. That being said:

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5970
 - This has a patch created by Corydon, but it has segfaulted on three 
   different boxes. Backtraces are attached to help track this down.

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=6027
 - This is related to the bug above and has a different patch that
   might be relevant.

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5374
 - This is a patch that allows for the asychronous generation of outgoing 
   frames. Very cool. Needs a decision by the Core Developers (Read Kram /

If it is of any assistance, we just dropped a 90 seat call center with a 
predictive dialer onto an Asterisk 1.2 box this afternoon w/ a TE405P in 
it. Over the course of 1/2 hour, they sent 3,000 calls through the box and 
it is still going strong! ;)

It's being hammered without mercy, and this is a single Intel 3Ghz CPU 
doing SIP -> ZAP w/ G729 and SIP -> SIP Passthrough. They are averaging 
about a call a second through the box.

We had more problems with our SIP Termination upstream not being able to 
handle the load... Asterisk didn't blink.

There are several people that are putting some effort into these issues,

I have that problem when using IAX transport as well. I've just ignored it

Per other discussions on this issue, that patch breaks a ton of stuff (IAX 
Jitter Buffer, Music On Hold etc..). Although it does solve some issues, 
it really needs to be reviewed by "They Who Decide Such Things" as it has 
far reaching impact on other areas of the system.

bristuff 3.0 apparently contains the "asynchronous frame generator patch"
from http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5374

This apparently breaks a LOT of other stuff, MOH being one of them.

Might want to use cdr_odbc instead. The issue that you are discussing was 
brought up by BKW last year, and I was under the impression that it had 
been patched. I.E. that when MySQL died, Asterisk would deadlock.

I'm pretty sure that cdr_odbc (which is cake configure) handles this 
situation properly.

Hehehe.. it should be a dynamic buffer that should grow / shrink as 
neccessary and consume as much memory as it needs until the database 
backend comes online. It should do periodic checks of the server to see if 
it is available and then spool the buffered calls out to it, but only 
spool stuff in the event the connection is not available.

Why not just use the astdb instead of a file? Dundi does it..

[Asterisk-Users] Dialstatus Oddity in 1.2

2006-01-21 Thread Greg Boehnlein
Hello all,
I am working on a creating some intelligent failover dial-plan 
logic and I'm running into something that I'd like some feedback on. 
Basically, it appears that if you place a call to an IAX2 peer that 
refuses the connection, or is unavailable, a NOANSWER dialstatus is 
returned.

Example:

-- Executing Macro("IAX2/cubix-19", "nocdial|IAX2/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]/1216410") in new stack
-- Executing Dial("IAX2/cubix-19", "IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/1216410|30") 
in new stack
-- Called [EMAIL PROTECTED]/1216410
Jan 21 19:16:07 WARNING[1114]: chan_iax2.c:6970 socket_read: Call rejected by 
207.166.192.188: No authority found
-- Hungup 'IAX2/pbx1-21'
  == No one is available to answer at this time (1:0/0/0)
-- Executing Goto("IAX2/cubix-19", "s-NOANSWER|1") in new stack
-- Goto (macro-nocdial,s-NOANSWER,1)
-- Executing Hangup("IAX2/cubix-19", "") in new stack
-- Hungup 'IAX2/cubix-19'

Shouldn't that return CONGESTION instead? I thought that NOANSWER was 
reserved for calls that reach app_dial's timeout limit?

Or am I just missing something simple?

Here is the relevant extensions.conf logic that I am using

[e164]
; Dundi
exten => _1NXXNXX,1,Macro(dundi-e164,${EXTEN})
; Dispatch First Trunk
exten => _1NXXNXX,2,Macro(nocdial,${TRUNK}/${EXTEN})
exten => _1NXXNXX,3,ResetCDR
; On Failure, Dispatch Second Trunk
exten => _1NXXNXX,4,Macro(nocdial,${TRUNK2}/${EXTEN})
exten => _1NXXNXX,5,ResetCDR
; Third time is a charm?
exten => _1NXXNXX,6,Macro(nocdial,${TRUNK3}/${EXTEN})

[macro-nocdial]
exten => s,1,Dial(${ARG1},30)
exten => s,2,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten => s-NOANSWER,1,Hangup
exten => s-BUSY,1,Busy(15)
exten => s-BUSY,2,Hangup
exten => s-CONGESTION,1,NoOp
exten => s-CHANUNAVAIL,1,NoOp
exten => s-.,1,Goto(s-NOANSWER,1)

That's correct. The T1 spans on the DS3 are completely independent of the 
clocking on the DS3. The D-channel and timing is something that will be 
handled by your upstream Telco and the switch that you'll be connecting 
to. Or, your own box.. ;)

Adtran's MX-2800 is our choice for Muxes. They are solid, reliable and 
work well. Adtran's technical support is amazing. When you purchase an 
MX-2800, you are immediately given access to the Adtran Carrier support 
group, which doesn't even blink about sending out an advance replacement 
unit overnight if you ask.

Hehehe.. Ask your Telco if they can provision E1 for you. ;) The Digium 
cards can handle E1 or T1, and if you go E1 you'll get 30 channels instead 
of 24 on the span.

4.5 and 5.0 variants of Vmware Workstation and CoLinux on top of a Windows

You would probably get the BEST performance by using User Mode Linux, w/ 
the latest SKAS patches. I know someone that does this and only 
occasionally has a dropped frame in audio here and there.

I second the vote on Astaro. They have, without a doubt, fused the best 
features of a Perimiter Security Device w/ Open Software and an excellent

It is the correct behavior because when you use SIP/100, chan_sip (which 
has no concept of an agent) is being used instead of chan_agent to 
deliver the call. Think of chan_agent as an intermediary between the PBX 
core and the physical endpoint. chan_agent accepts the call, puts the 
caller on hold and then grabs chan_sip to complete the other side of the 
call. When all requirements of chan_agent are met, it then proceeds to 
bridge the two calls together and get out of the way.

Right. It's a botched design and chan_agent's design doesn't lend itself 
to being very helpful in the process, but that is where it had to go. This 
is the reason that I dropped work on it, as ICD was a much more 
intelligent design at the time.

No. No NO NO NO NO! :)

1.2 will never be called Stable, based on the controversy surrounding the 
naming moniker. Do you ever heard Linux 2.0, 2.2 or 2.4 referred to as 
stable? No.

People tend to confuse "Stable" as in "No Additional Features, Bug Fixes 
Only" with "Stable" as in "It never has any problems".

But.. I may be too late on this one.. ;)

[asterisk-users] Polycom 1.6.7 Firmware Messages Button

2006-07-29 Thread Greg Boehnlein
Hello,
I recently updated some Polycom 501 phones to the new 1.6.7 
firmware, and have lost the ability to do "One Touch" voicemail access via 
the messages button.

I've verified that I have the correct XML tags set in the phone config, 
I.E.:

msg.bypassInstantMessage="1"
mwi msg.mwi.1.subscribe=""
msg.mwi.1.callBackMode="contact"
msg.mwi.1.callBack="85100"

I've wiped the phone clean, and re-installed firmware and configs, and it 
still acts as if the msg.bypassInstantMessage tag is set to 0 and displays 
the status of the messages in the mailbox.

I didn't see anything in the release notes indicating a change in the 
behavior of these tags.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Ahhh... that tag wasn't in my config generator script, so I must have set

We went the Duct Tape route initially for the side that doesn't have the 
screw, but eventually moved to some velcro contraption that one of our 
techs dreamed up while drinking at the bar downstairs. So far, so good. We 
just stay far away from the connections on the back of the rack! ;)

The MX200 is a fantastic product, with great support! I'll never even 
consider buying a mux from another company after the support that Adtran 
has given us with ours.

It isn't a flame. It is an observation and an opinion. I'm happy that 
people are creating new interfaces for Asterisk management, but that 
doesn't mean that I have to like them or the technology that they are 
based on.

People choose to do all sorts of silly things, some more silly than 
others. PSA knows PLESK, so they have used it to build their UI. I use 
PLESK for my Web hosting customers, and although it works, it certainly is 
not pretty nor is it something that I would reccomend as a platform for 
building an Asterisk management application.

Your mileage may vary. Use what works for you.

Wow. Such hostility. Some corrections.

1. I am using a variety of customer built and off the shelf products, both 
stuff that I've written, commissioned to have written and/or purchased 
from companies such as PBXware, Switchvox, VoiceRoute etc. My customer's 
needs drive my decisions as to what should be deployed, not a religious 
fervor. However, my customers also pay me to make solid decisions on 
technology based on my (considerable) experience in the field.

2. N2Net, of which I an the Vice President, started 11 years ago as a 1 
man consulting company. We are quite a bit larger now, but that isn't 
important. What is important is that you haven't even taken the time to 
verify who you are talking to, and/or what their credentials are. Bad 
move on your part, and probably not the smartest thing to fire off to a 
list such as this. I'll chalk it up to a mistake on your part. A google 
search of your name and the term Asterisk doesn't show a whole lot. You 
might consider doing the same with my name "Gregory Boehnlein Asterisk" to 
see what comes up.
 
> Not to mention you are being critical of plesk, yet you use to host you
> websites for your business.

Yes.. I host several thousand websites with PLESK, and as such am quite 
well positioned to voice an opinion about their software and 
methodologies. As far as Web control panels go, they are the best in the 
industry, but the industry has pretty low standards. I dislike PLESK for a 
variety of reasons and personally see that someone using it as a basis for 
a Web UI for Asterisk is trying to push a square peg through a round hole.

That doesn't mean that VoipNow sucks, just means that I'll probably not 
use it or reccomend it to my clients because I think the architecture 
and design are fudamentally flawed, and it's my reputation on the line.

However, if someone asked me for a reccomendation on a Control Panel 
software for Web Hosting, I would have no hesitations reccomending PLESK 
to them, provided they understand the limitations of the platform.

> Dude, we all have opinions, like crapholes they
> all stink, your's just stood out.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and you have every right to 
have your own. I don't agree with it, but I'm not going to resort to 
childish insults and petty comments.

I've pushed over 1,000 concurrent calls this way using the SIPP program 
for SIP performance testing. There was some tuning that needed to be done, 
but it worked. Never went that far in production, though.

Just making sure your dial-plan as efficient as possible, that you have 
enough sockets and open file limits in the kernel, not connecting to the 
CLI console, never, ever using cdr_mysql or cdr_odbc for your CDR records 
(locking / contention issues) etc...

Lots of basic common sense stuff that you often forget about.. :)

If the database is unavailable, or performance is slow, it can cause a 
blocking condition that will stop the entire system from processing 
anything. It may have been fixed since then, but I thought that cdr_mysql 
was deprecated..

Ben,
What version of Aserisk are you using? If it is the 1.2 series, 
there are all sorts of RFC-2833 DTMF Relay issues that can crop up. My 
suggestion is that if you are willing to take the time, it might be worth 
it to Upgrade to the pre-release version of Asterisk that is currently in 
TRUNK. This supports the new Variable Length DTMF code that should knock 
out nearly all of the DTMF issues that Asterisk has had. The 1.2 and 
earlier RTP stack and RFC-2833 implementation, while not technically wrong 
according to the RFC, did things a bit differently than the rest of the 
world has chosen, and therefore can cause DTMF instability.

They are probably talking about NFAS. And after looking at the date of 
this message, it's probably a moot point. But I'm not sure if NFAS is 
supported under Libpri/Zaptel. I'd suspect that if it is, it might not be 
widely deployed and/or tested with it.

Read his bio on Rotten.Com. I'm surprised to see him posing with Women.

I suspect that since the authors of ICD are no longer really submitting 
patches to Asterisk, that ICD for Asterisk is probably end of life, unless 
someone wants to pick up and take on maintenance of the code. As far as I 
know, ICD was never officially accepted into the mainline tree and was 
always kept as an outside project.

Hi Bob! Long live the PM3!
This is an issue that many many people have been running into, and 
has been discussed on the dev list.

Check the following:

I'm not sure there is a specific fix, although there are many suggestions 
in that thread.
