Re: [Asterisk-Users] TDM04B vs Dell

2005-01-06 Thread James O. Sizemore III
If this is a single CPU system try loading the smp kernel 
"yum install kernel-smp" then force this to boot in grub.conf
This will force your interrupts to be handled with IO-APIC
handler instead of the old style XT-PIC interrupts handler.

Switching to APIC from XT will normally fix a lot of interrupt
issues. If you have them.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] * + Codecs + Hardphones??

2003-03-27 Thread James O. Sizemore III
Quick question what happens if you go over
your channel licenses? 

Mark Spencer wrote:

So it looks like the best codec is the GSM codec as far and badwidth
vs voice quality, but I can't seem to find which hard phones support
the GSM codec or if * supports the G.729 codecs or others..
Which phones do the * user commumity find work the best?? and which
codecs do you use??
   

You can purchase G.729 from Digium at $10/channel.  Contact Greg Vance
(256-428-6262).  The G.729 is currently considered "beta".

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 (SIP) & XML

2003-03-18 Thread James O. Sizemore III
More then likely your web server is sending the phone
some environment variables It does not like. The Cisco
phones XML parser is very very picky.  There is a perl
module specifically for Cisco phone  Cisco::IPPhone;
You should be able to find it in cpan, if not google will.


Mike Reiling wrote:

I know this isn't really related to *, but I thought some of you might 
be able to shed a little light.

I have a 7960 running SIP.  No matter what I send the phone, I get 
CMXML parse errors.  I have the services_url set to a perl app that I 
keep changing with no luck.  I have set the correct content-type.

Does anyone have example XML that I can look at.  I don't have the 
cisco call manager.

Thanks,
Mike

[Asterisk-Users] Does anyone know.

2003-03-13 Thread James O. Sizemore III
Out of band DTMF for SIP seems to be broke.
I tried switching to dtmfmode=inband this
works fine for local phones, but any phones
over non LAN link, can not enter digits
without duplicates showing up, this is most
sever for the user name prompt in voice mail
main.
Is anyone working on getting out of band DTMF
working again?
Thanks,

I just moved all my configs to another box.
made no changes, did the exact same compile,
And it worked. I have no ideal at this point
what "file is  to large"  and causing the segment
fault.
I did have to move back past the "(no Nat)" code.
for other reasons, but I'm up and working.
I'll check the latest CVS again in a few days.
when I have time to trouble shoot any errors.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] ParkedCall and SIP.

2003-03-07 Thread James O. Sizemore III
I have the "Tt" option on the "Dial", is there something else 
I needed to do to get "#transfer" support working? It does not.

exten => 3874,1,Dial(SIP/3874|20|tT)

I first tried to emulate park with the SIP transfer.
I would transfer the call to a meetme, and pick it
up later, You had to be careful not to park more
the one call in one room. I however had to abandon
this method of parking because the proxy software
I use sends a retransmit request on hangup. So hangups
always fail with Asterisk. Not a big deal  with  voicemail
or calls. Because Asterisks timeout kicks in and does
hangup the call. But in the meetme rooms there is no
timeout! This caused a large amount of fake calls to
build up and consume massive amounts of bandwidth.
Because Asterisk never dropped the calls. She keeps
sending RTP to far end. Just my little test setup with
four phones could saturate a T1 in no time flat.
On that note, could we have "Hangup"  drop SIP calls
Without waiting for the last ack? I other words drop the
in progress call when "hangup" is run after a small timeout
regardless of weather it ever gets a ack back from the phones?
This would at least get me something close to park. 

Mark Spencer wrote:

SIP does not yet support parking unless you do "#transfer" support.  The
reason is that once you have done a transfer in SIP, the original call is
gone, so there is no way to announce where the call has been parked.
