Re: [asterisk-users] Voice quality assessment in Asterisk

Re: [asterisk-users] Opensource Speech recognition for Asterisk
I'm not aware of an open source speech product.

CLI is crucial here as I need to forward the CLI of the numbers from the blocks of numbers from the SS7 gateway, not the CLI of the originating caller. The Asterisk is behind a firewall with NAT setup. The traffic is one way only. Calls going to the switch goes to Asterisk, Asterisk accepts the call, looks at the CLI from the line (not the caller), routs the call to its assigned outside number through the primary trunk. If primary trunk is unavailable, trixbox will then rout the call to the spare trunks on the list. Hope anyone who has setup this before could give me some good tips on how to set this up.

We're having an issue that isn't easily googleable so I thought I might might try here. We have several customers who want all their extensions to ring on incoming calls. Frankly I think it is craziness to ring 11 extensions all at once but that is how they want it. We're doing this by creating an incoming route that goes to a hunt list containing all the extensions. This normally works fine but occasionally when someone picks up the call other phones don't seem to realize the call has been answered and will continue to ring. On at least once occasion I saw a call that went to voicemail and all the phones continued to ring. When this happens the phones will continue to ring forever. The only way to stop them from ringing is to pickup the handset at which time they realize there is no call and reset. I'm pretty sure the underlying cause of this problem is funkiness in their network but it just seems to happen too easily and then once it stops it won't stop.Even if this is caused by network issues is there anything I can do to mitigate the problem.

Re: [asterisk-users] [Zaptel] Why no driver for PCI voice modems?
I don't think a off the shelf modem has the necessary DSPs to convert voice to codecthat is why a Voice Gateway/Analog Telephony Adapter or FXO/FXS cards exist instead of modem having a second life. I do recall a few that worked as a answering machine allowing your home computer to answer calls ,etc. From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Wilton Helm Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 1:06 PM To: Asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] [Zaptel] Why no driver for PCI voice modems? If half-duplex audio is good enough for you, sure. You've lost me there. I am not aware of a modem that is for sale today that is half duplex. (OK some support a couple of minor half duplex modes). All state of the art modem protocols send and receive simultaneously using the full 300 - 3000 Hz bandwidth in both directions with adaptive equalization and echo cancellation to make it work, which is pretty much what a voice circuit need. There are two differences: 1) The response and quality of a current modem must be considerably higher than what is needed for voice use or it would never achieve the throughput expected of it, and 2) the adaptive equalization algorithm is designed around modem specific techniques. The latter is (especially for a softmodem) a software issue, not a hardware limitation. Only a fraction of the hardware available is actually capable of full duplex audio. Absolutely not the case. Particularly the softmodems (the most inexpensive) contain little else than what is required for placing and answering full duplex audio calls. Everything else is in the driver. The OP is 100% correct, that they would be an excellent candidate for FXO use in low volume applications. What it really comes down to is a value proposition: Quite true. This is the real issue. As mentioned, these drivers require considerable skill and knowledge to write. While there is no doubt that the result would be very cost effective, the business model is lacking. The modem manufacturer is going to see the potential market for this as somewhere down in the noise compared to their normal modem sales, so isn't inclined to invest. A third party developer with the skills would have a difficult time recouping development costs (let alone any profit) because they don't control the hardware, and therefore have no leverage. A user with enough volume to justify paying for the development (or doing it if they had the skill) probably has enough volume to use T1s instead. If everyone that could benefit from using a modem card were to pitch in $10 towards the development, it would probably be quite possible. But how to make that happen?

Is the feature you are implementing Single Number Reach? They dial a number and you call another number (Verizon Cell Phone) trying to connect them to the user? But the problem is Verizon answers with the silly out of reach message? I've never seen where the PSTN carrier lets you re-direct the call to the cell phone without your Single Number Reach PBX holding/hairpinning the call. I'm more old school PBX than SIP expert and suspect this can be done in the SIP cloud.

I was expecting that I could eventually configure things so that I could hand off the calls so that once the Asterisk box got a connection between the DID provider originating the call and whatever/whoever is terminating the call (SIP device, or SIP service provider) the Asterisk box could then drop out of the connection and let the originator talk directly to the terminator. Is this an unrealistic assumption. Ah, I see one disconnect. I think you are assuming T1 or better connections to the PSTN where you are originating and terminating the calls yourself and I'm using SIP service providers to do all the origination and termination. I'm connecting a bunch of home offices scattered around the country and do not have enough lines in any city to justify originating or terminating my own PSTN calls. Maybe just one PSTN line per DSL connection to avoid paying a sip provider to terminate some local calls, and supporting some backup functionality, if the Asterix box has crashed, but it will be a while before things get that complicated. ___ From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com on behalf of drew einhorn Sent: Mon 3/16/2009 7:27 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] Problem with Verizon Wireless Hi, I'm having a problem with Verizon Wireless, I'm hoping someone here knows the right way to phrase the trouble report so it gets to someone at Verizon who can solve the problem.

If you do: That NPA is owned by Pacbell with the central office: SCRMCA12 I don't know if anyone but Pacbell will have numbers in that NPA. Since I use them and am happy with the service, you can try contacting http://www.jnctn.com and ask if they can get numbers there. I do see they have others in the Sacramento area, in fact I have a Sacramento number with them already. If you don't and you just need outbound channels you can buy one (or more) DIDs and then use that as the caller-id setting for all the outbound calls. This is perfectly legal since you own the DID that you are using as the caller-id. The channels you are using for outbound calling don't have a DID associated with them so you need to associate it with one by setting the caller-id to an owned/valid DID. They don't have to be unique. What is illegal is to set caller-id to a fraudulent value such that the person on the other end will not be able to correctly identify the originator of the call.

Thank you everyone for helping test the module. There have been 200+ calls from users on the list and they are still coming in. We're getting about 65%-70% success rate.

Update: I'm adjusting the detection ratios tomorrow, so that should improve general detection results based on the received data. I'm implementing filters to remove the background noise. I'd guess that 5% of those testing are trying to fool the system for fun, in one way or another. When the user is unaware of sampling, the results are slightly higher.

Re: [asterisk-users] life safety system and VOIP
In Florida some new subdivision developers have sold the phone/cable/internet rights to a provider. They run fiber to each house and then have the uplink to provider which isn't a traditional telco. You can't get another provider as satellite dishes are limited in covenants and restrictions (CCR). I guess you could get GSM or CDMA service from cell provider or WiMax/LTE. It provides an upfront funding to developer for sewer/water costs. I'd be curios what battery life they have. I know the FCC mandated cell towers have more battery life after Hurricane Katrina wiped out communications in New Orleans for months.

The best bet if you really care about what you are trying to protect is make sure the message can get out as many ways as possible, whether it be phone, voip, network, cellmodem, etc. Forget what regulations require, no one says you can't go further than the minimum if you want. In a REAL emergency internet/cell is more likely to fail than the phone companys pots network. Cable/DSLAM etc only have about 4 hours of battery power. The CO has a entire battery room which will last a whole lot longer. Not to mention that it may stay up longer than your VoIP network. You also have to take into account everything between you the CO or cable company. If just ONE thing fails you loose voip. Copper is a lot more forgiving has failover modes versus the phone co's ATM network or the cable companies network (or lack there of) --Don I don't know if thats really true any more, all the new areas around here have satellite CO's where fibre comes out to a box on the street with some batteries etc and copper runs out from there - great for dsl since its close, but at the mercy of whatever batteries are in there. The dial tone for the phone line still comes from the CO. The phone companies loop there copper cable in and out of the remote cabinets. maybe your alarm needs to report in since there is a fire in your phone equipment - what then ? I have seen every type of media go down or have problems no matter how stable - the only answer is have more than one so you always have a backup. Poles get hit, cables get cut, equipment breaks, its just a fact of life. This is true, that is why most fire panels have to have 2 phone lines. j On Tue, 17 Feb 2009, Jason Aarons (US) wrote: http://www.iccsafe.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=001650 ;p=1 I can't see the Dept Transportation running copper to all the motorist aid boxes along the highway.

These devices were originally installed in emergency vehicles to provide data and voice access along with GPS reporting. They have external RF connections for GSM/EDGE and GPS signals. The baseband side includes four wire audio, RS-232 serial, USB and some parallel digital I/O for panic switches etc. GSM voice connections are established by sending AT commands via the RS-232 serial or USB ports and utilizing a handset connected to the four-wire audio jack. Here is a link to the Sierra Wireless web pages for the MP775. http://www.sierrawireless.com/support/mp775.aspx My interest comes in finding an inexpensive way to connect an Asterisk PBX or similar system to the PSTN via GSM when POTS and Internet service isn't available or is too costly to connect. In my case, I'm considering building a house at the end of a long unpopulated stretch of dead end road and the cost of trenching and cabling from the nearest telco POP is prohibitive. I would like to find a way to connect these modems to my network so they appear as a SIP FXS device. This would require a device generating/reading AT commands and passing baseband audio on the front end and SIP emulation on the backend. I'm sure there must be a way to do this with a pc but to minimize power consumption; I would prefer to use something like a small single board computer with a Geode processor. The latter, having multiple RS-232 and audio ports, ought to be capable of handling at least two of the MP775's.

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco vs Asterisk
I haven't used Asterisk Voicemail but here are Unity Unified Messaging (for Exchange) 5.x/7.x features, in short I think you need to be a Callmanager/Exchange Server shop with heavy integration with ActiveSync/Direct Push/Outlook 2007/OCS2007. The company that created Unity (Active Voice) was a bunch of ex-microsoft guys. If you are not a enterprise/campus or prefer IMAP/SMTP then I don't think you would see any benefits or ROI. I don't think just hanging Unity Voicemail Only off a Asterisk box would be of much value. I like AVST CallXpress http://www.avst.com/products/callxpressMessaging/ for smaller customers. Unity Unified Messaging (for Exchange) 5.x/7.x Using Exchange Administrator it reads/writes directly to Exchange Message Store (not IMAP or SMTP) Phone View (listen to message as callers leave them, control message on Cisco 79xx phone LCD screen) Windows Mobile/Blackberry intergration (has Blackberry plug-in) Single number for fax/T38 Speech Connect (reply to voicemails via Speech to Text or have them read Text to Speech) Mailbox greetings based on Calendar Integration Unity Digital Networking for multiple sites being able to send each other messages There are flash videos and datasheets here; http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/index.html Now I will go read the Wiki and see how Asterik handles Voicemail Note there are several version of Unity (Unity Unified Messaging (with Echange), Unity Unified Messaging (with Domino), Unity Connection 2.x, Unity Unified Express). I choose the version with the most integration with Exchange to discuss here. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of C.

Re: [asterisk-users] MagicJack and Skype call quality
My understanding is Skype's secret is using the iLBC codec, which Cisco has also licensed for their 79X2 models as well. I travel and lot and in places where Yahoo Phone Out or MSN Phone or Cisco IP Communicator will fail the Skype client will work. The iLBC codec can really handle packet loss. Skype High Quality Video with the Logitech Orbit AF on both ends is awesome. I got my family a set for Fathers day. Just amazing video quality. Uses a On2 VP-7 codec that has much lower cpu and other benefits over h.264. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Underwood Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2008 3:30 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] MagicJack quality Tzafrir Cohen wrote: On Sat, Jul 12, 2008 at 10:26:24AM +0800, Steve Underwood wrote: C.

Anyone's thoughts on this? CS I don't know what Magic-jack does (I've never actually seen one), but I know the key thing about Skype that impresses people - its wideband voice codec. A lot of people poo-poo the idea that wideband voice has value in a phone call. They are either close to deaf, or have never tried it. Clarity is profoundly improved. Skype seems to use various tricks to keep the packet flow smooth, but its wideband that makes it sound better than the PSTN. You might think a standard phone plugged into an adaptor, like a Magic-jack, would be limited to narrow band voice, as that is all the phone was designed for. It turns out most phones only aggressively filter at the low end of the band. They let a lot of energy above 4kHz through, and they do generally sound better through a wideband codec. Many modern line interface chips are actually capable of running in a 16k samples/second mode, even though most are programmed for 8k samples/second. I think the ones on the TDM400P type cards can. Some from Silicon Labs certainly can, and chips from Zarlink and others can. The DAA in those cards can work in 16Hz. So they can send higher quality samples to the telco. Provided Zaptel supports it. But then again, it will get lost as soon as it gets converted to digital at the telco, right? I guess I wasn't clear. What I said was only useful for a SLIC to phone connection. It won't be of any benefit for a DAA to PSTN exchange connection, for the reason you state. Anyway, the ProSLIC chip does not seem to support it. Silicon Labs make a Wideband ProSLIC, Si 3216, which is, er, wideband. As I said before, Zarlink and other make them too.

I did a preliminary test the other day and hooked the T1 line up to the T1 card, bypassing the Adtran. This worked rather well I must say. The two issues I ran into are: 1) Caller ID is not working even though I enabled it. I simply do not see _anything_ related to caller ID going on. (not major, I am not even sure the phone company has it setup properly so I need to talk to them first, Verizon) 2) Asterisk is not detecting the far end hangup. Through the Adtran it does, but direct digital it does not. I bridged an incoming call to an analog phone and listened as I hung up the far end (cell-call). I hear a audible click, silence, and then after maybe a half second I hear dialtone. I tried turning on hanguponpolarity switch, tried turning it off, tried turning callprogress on and off, still does not detect the hangup. Am I missing something obvious in Asterisk (this is my first digital hookup)? I read somewhere that Asterisk is already suppose to detect dialtone to know that the far-end hungup. Do I need to call my phone company and get details on exactly how they are triggering the hangup, though I would think with digital it just happens).

While your 2600 from 2001 timeframe it should work, you can't run any of 12.4T images over the last 3 years without maxing the DRAM/Flash.

Could be the old 2600s IOS as you mentioned.

The router PRI was configured as a gateway on our CCM 4, like we've done numerous times in the past. The customer needed LD Authorization codes enabled, got the list 400+, and configured them in the CCM, no problem. We started passing calls, local was fine but the LD would not work, turned the LD codes off and LD would work. After engaging Cisco TAC, was informed that LD coded do not work with this type of gateway device. After strapping on my Asterisk-Orange Super-Engineer Cape and Goggles, I told my Cisco Guy to prepend all the LD traffic with a 3 digit code and send it to one of my Cluster Asterisk Servers. I put in a pattern for matching just this customers LD traffic as so: exten = _5551NXXNXX,1,Answer exten = _5551NXXNXX,2,Set(CDR(userfield)=Company LD) exten = _5551NXXNXX,3,Authenticate(/etc/asterisk/companyld.codes|a) exten = _5551NXXNXX,4,Goto(ccmtrunkld|${EXTEN:3}|1) ;Answer because the authenticate cmd sends audio back to the caller ;set the CDR userfield to the company name ;Authenticate with file where the LD codes are stored, 'a' option puts the LD code in the CDR accountcode field ;strip the 555 off and pass the LD call outbound So now all the LD traffic from this customer can be authenticated from the codes in the file companyld.codes, the CDR is updated properly for parsing the LD and generates a nice monthly report for tracking who is using LD for this customer. I guess I'm feeling grateful that the Cisco Gateway is passing calls in the first place, but it would have been nice for the Cisco CM and the Cisco Gateway to play nice together.

RE: [asterisk-users] Cisco 7960G SIP firmware 8.4
For DND press Call Forward All (CFwdAll softkey) then Messages button on the SCCP version. I havent seen the SIP version of 7961G. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lacy Moore - Aspendora Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 12:09 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco 7960G SIP firmware 8.4 Like what? I haven't tried the non-Call Manager version yet. The Call Manager version seems to work fine with Asterisk. Haven't run into any issues yet. I wish there was a softkey for DND, but that hasn't seemed to be in any SIP version. I thought maybe the CallManager version would have this.

[asterisk-users] 911 versus 9.911
Is there a FCC or other North America requirement that I provide 911 versus 9.911. I want to require users to dial 9.911 in our office, and remove 911. Are there any statutory requirements or laws about this? User accidentially dial 9 then 1 then another 1 and hangup. Weve educated them to stay on the line and ever hang up, but they hang up anyway, resulting in fines for excess hangups to 911.
