In my configuration, the Doorbell Fon has a dedicated FXO port. I would not recommend using it any other way. Asterisk answers immediately when the user hits the button on the intercom and indicates ringing to the intercom. Asterisk sets the Caller ID, and rings my house phones (and cell phone) with distinctive ring. Personally I have no need or desire to make calls to the intercom box. Unless someone pushed the button, I'd be unaware anyone was there in the first place. > The distinctive ring doesn't really work with asterisk, since it is > never (well, almost never 1 out of 5 might repeat, but then again it > might switch the pattaren with the other box) exactly the same > pattaren.

There's no need for the distinctive ring to work with Asterisk unless you are trying to get by with one FXO port for both the doorbell and a POTS line. I have not tested that configuration and would not recommend it. With a dedicated FXO interface for the doorbell, those issues go away.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Integrating door intercom?
I have a Doorbell Fon. It works great. Turn off caller ID and distinctive ring on the Doorbell Fon FXO port to make Asterisk more responsive to it. You don't need the special chip they sell for PBX users. The build quality of the brass model is extremely good. I mounted it in an outdoor junction box at my front gate and it's held up very well. A year later it still looks new, and it's sitting out in the sun and rain. The switch on that model is piezoelectric, and the whole thing is very well sealed from the elements. I've never seen the plastic model but from the pictures it doesn't look nearly as nice. Using the magic of VOIP, not only does my doorbell ring my internal phones, it also rings my cell phone using a fake callerID that comes up as "Doorbell" on my cell phone :) It's fun to confuse the mailman or UPS guy by telling them you're not home at the moment...

[Asterisk-Users] Tellabs 2572 Configuration Advice?
Can anyone share any advice / documentation on how to configure a Tellabs 2572 T1 echo canceller? I connected one between a T100P and an Adtran TA750 FXO/FXS channelbank, but when echo cancellation is active I get a LOT of snap-crackle-pop (and other problems) on the line. The 2572 has a bunch of configuration options and they're impossible to guess without documentation, which I cannot find anywhere. I've registered for the Tellabs portal both recently and in the past 6 months, but I never heard back from them. Any help at all would be appreciated!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Poll - Would you pay $30-$50 for high quality speech synthesis?
Unfortunately, languages other than English/French/Spanish/German cannot be supported due to the fact that the Natural Voices runtime doesn't support any other languages.

[Asterisk-Users] Poll - Would you pay $30-$50 for high quality speech synthesis?
Many of you are familiar with how lousy Festival sounds. AT&T has a product, NaturalVoices, that sounds much better. There are male & female voice fonts for US/UK/Indian English, French, Spanish, and German. I am considering offering a linux-based text-to-speech engine based on the NaturalVoices runtime. An asterisk module would also be provided, making it easy to add natural sounding synthesis to Asterisk applications. You could also use it for other purposes, such as home automation. After discussing royalties with AT&T, I have concluded that I can probably offer such a product at the following prices: Runtime - $30 intro price with one voice font & one processor Extra voices/languages - $15 each Extra processors - $15 each Depending on demand, the price may rise to $50 at some point. The lower the demand, the higher the price, due to AT&T's royalty structure. There is a demo of the synthesis engine here: http://www.naturalvoices.att.com/demos/ If you would be willing to pay for this kind of software, please e-mail me privately (not to the list). Please indicate your purchase timeframe as well as the number of licenses, extra voices, and processors you would want.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Eicon and capi
You need to install a capi development package. I don't know what it's called on RedHat. I suggest you don't use the closed-source Eicon drivers. Instead, use the drivers from mmm.melware.de. (NOT www.melware.de) The ones dated 5-15-03 seem stable.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] chan_capi: advice needed on isdn card
Within the Eicon range, only the expensive Diva Server cards support CAPI, and only the newer models (i.e. Diva Server BRI-2M PCI 2.0) support echo cancellation. Check the data sheet before you buy. CAPI has plenty of latency, so you really do need echo cancellation. The echo cancellation on my Eicon works wonderfully.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] PSTN Card Suggestions
The Eicon Diva Server cards work with chan_capi, have open-source kernel drivers, are stable, and have onboard echo cancellation. The biggest downside to these cards is price. Regards, Jeff ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] Cellsocket update
When I posted my last message about the cellsocket, I hadn't thought to try incoming calls. (I bought the cellsocket to use only for outgoing calls.) Unfortunately, I cannot get the cellsocket to work for inbound calls. CallerID does not work even though I have a GSM phone. The cellsocket answers the phone and then starts ringing any attached phones after answering. Most importantly, levels are so low once the call is completed that neither party on the call can hear the other. Very strange, since outbound calls work so well. Hopefully I just have a defective cellsocket. Regards, Jeff ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] Cellsocket Report Card (GSM/PCS to FXS gateway)
I recently purchased a Cellsocket, which is a cradle that holds some older Nokia GSM/PCS phones and converts them to an FXS interface. My test phone is a Nokia 5190 on the T-Mobile GSM network. After going through the ordeal of unlocking the phone (T-Mobile provided unlock codes that didn't work), I finally got it up and running. The good: - Disconnect supervision works - Outstanding sound quality - The cellsocket's antenna works much better than the one in the phone - Support for external antennas/amplifiers - The cellsocket keeps the phone charged The bad & ugly: - Dialtone provided by the cellsocket doesn't match US spec. Fortunately this does not matter. - The cellsocket runs the phone on BATTERY (!!) while off-hook. This is supposedly a design decision to prevent interference. If anyone hacks around this crazy limitation I'd love to know. - After sending DTMF to the cellsocket, you hear the cellsocket send DTMF (?) to the phone, after Asterisk has already bridged the call. This could cause problems for alarm systems. Overall: I like it. Regards, Jeff ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] ISDN stuff (was pri pricing)
Please be patient. ;) I am working on CAPI support in North America. It is functional right now, but there are some voice quality issues that need to be addressed. I am currently trying to figure out who to blame for this. The *only* ISDN hardware that works with CAPI in North America is made by Eicon. Specifically, only their Diva Server cards work. These cards have one DSP per channel and support things like faxing. Hopefully there will be support for some cheaper cards eventually.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Intercom and Paging
I forsee one of the following: 1) All phones on same paging system. Uses 1 FXS port or a sound card on the asterisk box. 2) Paging system addressable by groups. Uses 1 FXS port per paging group on asterisk. (Plus 1 or 2 FXS for a 1/2 line phone) 3) Paging system addressable by phone. Uses 1 FXS port per phone dedicated to paging. (Up to 3 FXS per phone, somewhat wasteful.) Since this is my home system and I just want simple paging, I'm going to go for option #1. Obviously a digital phone would make a better solution, but that isn't an option right now. Regards, Jeff On Thu, Feb 27, 2003 at 09:22:06AM -1000, James H.
