Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Administration and Management requirements (splinter from $200 AMP bounty thread)
Hi there, I agree with Greg and also with the documentation group, we are all great at bitching about * (I know I have done a lot of it but thats because UK and support for us is minimal or so it feels) we need to unite, the only reason Microsoft are so popular is because it take 2 minutes to install and applications are usually it is easy to configure (coming from Windows to Suse was quite easy due to YAST but then from Suse to Fedora Core is a nightmare thank god for web min) users a nd administrators don't want to be editing conf files to do the smallest thing i.e. create a dialplan thats a nightmare, coming from an Avaya background (although it has been a year since i touched an Avaya INDeX) you could create powerful and effective dial plans completely graphically it was so easy anybody could do it. Although all system administration was done through a menu driven console and that was really simple to use. We need to take the good from other systems and merge this to Asterisk. Also we have to document it. theres no point in writing the code if nobody can use it. I would like to offer my skills to the production of this I can document, bug test and am great at user interface design I come from a software house background which I can also utilise to get this project off the ground. I suggest that we all meet in a chat room to create some form of a project map and get this off the ground.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] $200 AMP documentation bounty
Title: RE: [Asterisk-Users] $200 AMP documentation bounty I would be interested in helping create this, I have extensive knowledge in web interface design and currently work for a software house, I can help with interface design, documentation and bug testing. I can read code but am not the greatest at creating code in C. I would be interested in starting/helping in an interface project as this is the greatest stumbling block for asterisk and will stop it from being commercially viable. -Original Message- From: Gregory Junker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 12 November 2004 16:55 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] $200 AMP documentation bounty How about this. It's obvious that there is a strong demand for a clean, portable, easy-to-use Asterisk manager application. Apparently those that exist currently fall short in one or more areas, or we wouldn't be having this discussion. Why don't we compile a list of features that people want their manager app to do for them, and finally do one that works, is easy to install, and is intuitive? I'd be happy to manage the project, help code it, design it, whatever it takes. It'll give my decade or so of software engineering experience something to do. I'll start off with the obvious: - The app must allow the administrator, either graphically or via menu- and dialog-driven GUI, to add, remove and otherwise edit extensions within the Asterisk PBX software. - The app must allow the administrator, either graphically or via menu- and dialog-driven GUI, to add, remove and otherwise edit users within the Asterisk PBX software. - The app must allow the administrator, either graphically or via menu- and dialog-driven GUI, to add, remove and otherwise edit channels within the Asterisk PBX software.

The x100p (and presumably the clones) have an integrated circuit on the board that was manufactured for use in the US with 600 ohm pstn lines. The chip cannot be changed to any other impedance. However, there can be many different sources for the echo and impedance matching is only one of them. Others include: - incorrect * zapata.conf parameters - poorly engineered motherboards (eg, poor PCI bus, interrupt latency) For zapata.conf, try something like: echocancel=yes echotraining=800 For poorly designed motherboards, there is no consolidated list of which ones are good/bad so you're left with trying another one on your own to see if it impacts the echo. The TDM04B digium card (as an example) does not use that same pstn chip, but rather another one from the same chip manufacturer. That chip does have support for something like 18 different "country" telco standards. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] NetworkWorld article on Open Source Telephon y
Title: RE: [Asterisk-Users] NetworkWorld article on Open Source Telephony I agree, any platform suffers when it is extremely difficult to implement. What we need is an interface that does everything we need and shows what asterisk is capable of, a lot of features will go unused because you might not know the exist unless you hunt them down in the source or conf files. I trained on an Avaya INDeX switch it had a complex console but was laid out in a structured way a java console that allowed you to issue changes to the system would sort it out and would shy away from a GUI that is restrictive, things such as call flows etc... were done in a very simple GUI, although simple this GUI could do very complex stuff. Perhaps we need a suite of tools for it each specialising in an area and linked together via a configuration database. -Original Message- From: Chris Bond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 June 2004 14:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] NetworkWorld article on Open Source Telephony > The power of asterisk comes from its method of config.

But if it was an official addon from the cvs tree (similar to the voicemail cgi stuff), it would make take-up a lot easier =) That way you wouldn't make people "stuck" to one GUI, if they don't want it they don't need to check it out. Its just at the moment, you've got sub projects for lots of different GUIs, what needs to happen is someone to consolidate what's out there and bring it all into one official project.
