Yes, this is very true. Keeping WLAN active to stay connected to the  
SIP server means atrocious battery life. At least on my E60. At this  
point I get maybe 30 hours out of a charge when I use 30-60 minutes  
speaking time on the phone.

then press

the 'options' key, select 'Call' & go to 'Internet Call'.

Is this  'Call' & go to 'Internet Call' usable when you select a  
callee using the phone's directory ?


Yes it is. However, this also depends on how you set up your dial  
plan and how you store phone numbers in your directory.


I have set up my Asterisk dial plan to understand and work with the  
"universal" phone number notation of "+code>", which is understood by the mobile network as well. I  
store all my phone numbers that way, be they local, long distance or  
international long distance from where I am. This means I can select  
any phone number from my phone book and dial out via the mobile  
network or my Asterisk server, it just works.

Why is the a problem? The bristuff zaptel patch is a really small and
non-intrussive one. The bristuff Asterisk patch, though, includes a
complete reimplementation of chan_capi (the Junghanns' original
chan_capi), which I heard noone really uses.


Specifically, some simple AGI script I run to send and receive faxes  
with chan_capi did not work anymore.


Both you and Axel are right about rebuilding the RPM of course.  
Matter of fact I always strongly prefer packages that come from  
(trusted) yum repositories. However, in this special case if I have  
to rebuild the package every time I don't see much advantage over a  
standard source install, which is very quick and simple. I just don't  
want to spend time analyzing a spec file to see which patches are  
applied and, if needed, back them out and build again and see if my  
stuff works again. It would be worth it if I had more than a single  
server running Asterisk.

Hi Klaus,

The incoming fax script will generate an email with the fax attached,  
and there is another script, sendfax_status.py, which is run as a  
DeadAGI after the outgoing fax has been sent, it retrieves status  
information and sends it to a (hardcoded) email address.


The call file created by the outgoing script "file2fax.py" specifies  
3 retries in case of failure. This just retries it within Asterisk, I  
don't know if I could have chan_capi do that.

I kept my toll-free number, it just took an extra step to get it

that cost if you put those $60 into your NuFone account and put "For  
QUICK TFN port" in the payment comments, they will initiate the force  
porting request but leave that amount in your account so you can use  
it for your normal call activity.


Pretty fair I'd say. The only problem is that they might not have  
advertised this option to every customer stuck with that particular  
problem.


Other than that, any "new" toll-free DID as well as "standard" DID

The E60, at least for me, has a fatal flaw: After connecting to the

days) it just disconnects without any apparent reason, and the only  
way to make it reconnect is to reboot the phone. If it could stay  
connected it would have the potential to replace all standard  
telephones at my place.


Amund, since you work with Nokia you might know this: Is there a  
website somewhere that shows what the latest Nokia software versions  
are? Sounds like my problem could be fixed by a software update.

You mean PCI-E? If you really need PCI-X, then you're out of luck.  
PCI-X is only available on server boards. For a single port ISDN,  
one of those Mini-ITX boxes should work. I built something similar  
using a Mini-ITX (1GHz CPU) with an AVM Fritz! PCI ISDN card using  
chan_capi. IIRC, Xorcom has a TS-1 which is a SFF Asterisk server  
for <$500. BTW, I don't think the Mini-ITX mobos can support PCI-E.


It's a normal 5.5 V PCI slot, the card can also deal with PCI-X slots  
as the documentation claims.


I'll take a look at Xorcom's offerings, thanks.

[Asterisk-Users] Small form factor system w/PCI slot

I'm trying to buy a small form-factor PC system for use with Asterisk

Would anyone have some brand names or sites where such systems can be

rather buy a complete system and just stick the ISDN card in there.

To benefit from DIVA Server 4BRI fax hardware capabilities, what is  
the best software combination ? Asterisk and Hylafax ?


Shall we then allocate destination numbers and or ports for each of

And if you want to offer to every user, a unique extension for fax  
and voice, would it still be possible to forward calls from voice  
application to fax application (for outgoing faxes, the fax  
application can use its own ressources) ?


I run the combination of Asterisk and Hylafax, and it is easy for me  
because I have 3 incoming MSNs. Both Asterisk and Hylafax will "see"  
all calls, but Asterisk only has two of the three MSNs configured.  
The fax number is ignored by Asterisk, so Hylafax answers that after  
a couple rings.


This works perfectly fine, but unfortunately I fell into the "DIVA V- 
BRI doesn't do FAX" trap, I bought a V-BRI first. It's now sitting on  
the shelf, unused. The Asterisk server is using the standard BRI  
card, which I bought off eBay.


IMHO the Eicon website should carry more prominent warnings/ 
explanations about the lack of FAX capabilities for the V-BRI cards.

A similar rule says "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."


Until you realize some script kiddie has exploited another Apache/ 
mod_ssl bug and is now remote-controlling your box.


There are no hard and fast recipes here. Neither the "automatically  
apply any and all updates" nor the "build and never look at it again"- 
policies should be applied without taking the specific situation into  
account.


If your box is on the internet you simply cannot forego updates.  
Period. If your box is completely walled off from the internet you  
can be lax about it (unless you have to worry about attacks from the  
inside).


The best policy is probably one that is halfway between the two.  
There are packages you only ever want to update "under parental  
supervision", like kernels. Then there are packages where you want to  
grab any update you can get ASAP, like Apache, or PHP, or SSH. Yum  
allows you to express this in its configuration, you can exclude  
packages from the automatic update.


I personally run a nightly script that uses yum to determine if there  
are updates. I apply them by hand. However, this is only feasible  
because it runs on just two machines.

Card works great with chan_capi-cm from sourceforge. Don't overlook

Diva Server BRI cards do (I assume).


The V cards are branded as optimized for voice, but at this point I'm

Hi,

That is ISDN lines from the telco into my Asterisk box.

Any recommendations, good/bad expiriences ?

At present I'm looking at cards from BeroNet and Junghanns.


I'm very happy with an Eicon Diva Server V-BRI that I bought a couple  
months ago. The only drawback is that it doesn't do any fax traffic  
apparently. It works with chan_capi-cm from Sourceforge.

That's not true. I just built a system on a Dell 830 with the RAID

Eicon DIVA Server card I'm using.


I've been using Dell rackmounts at work for years now and never had  
any issues. This is the first time I went for a tower server, there  
is no rack at home...  The box isn't entirely noise-free, but  
compared to the equivalent rackmount models it is very quiet, you  
could call it "pantry-friendly" as opposed to "living room-friendly".


The machine runs CentOS 4.2 (RHEL 4.2 with the VIN numbers scraped  
off) and Asterisk 1.2.1 with chan_capi. Granted, I'm not a heavy  
user, but I like the voice quality I'm getting.

[Asterisk-Users] Eicon DIVA Server V-BRI questions

2005-12-26 Thread Jens Vagelpohl

Hi *,

Coming from a very simple and nicely working pure IP setup I'm now  
trying to  converge the IP setup with my "real" (German) ISDN phone  
line. I bought a Eicon DIVA Server V-BRI-2 and it is currently  
connected like this:


PSTN -> DSL Splitter -> NTBA -> DIVA

The NTBA has two S0-connections, the second one is still hooked up to  
a T-Com T-Eumex 520 PC which allows me to connect analog devices,  
that's how my phone and fax works currently.


I went to the Eicon website and downloaded the latest version of  
their driver package "divas4linux_EICON", version 8.0beta1. Using  
their configuration tools, the card is currently configured this way:


D-Channel protocol - 1TR6 - Germany
Interface mode - TE
DID - no
D-channel layer 2 activation policy - only by other side
Trunk operation mode - Point to Multipoint

Upon system start I am getting the green Layer 1 light on the card's  
back and the following system log messages, which to me looks like  
the drivers are loading correctly:



Eicon DIVA - DIDD table (http://www.melware.net)

kcapi: notify up contr 1
capi20: Rev 1.1.2.3: started up with major 68 (no middleware)
---

The problem I am having is that according to the isdn4linux page when  
calling in the card should recognize the call and note this in /var/ 
log/messages (like "Call from X, ignored"). It does not do this at  
all. Also, if I disconnect the T-Com T-Eumex unit so that the server  
is the only ISDN unit connected to the NTBA and call in I get a  
message played back by the phone company that the number is not  
reachable. At that point the green Layer 1 light on the card turns off.


To me this sounds like s severe misconfiguration on my part. Is there  
anyone on the list who is using a DIVA Server V-BRI card in Germany  
who could help?


After digging through all kinds of websites I am also confused about  
the relationship between the CAPI drivers included with the Eicon  
software and BRIStuff. When using chan_capi, do I need BRIStuff and  
zaptel at all?


Thanks for any insights, and a wonderful holiday period!!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] NAT and SIP.conf update.

2005-09-13 Thread Jens Vagelpohl
I've found a novel work-a-round:  I have a server on the Internet  
in a data centre that maps a real static address to the dynamic IP  
address of the computer connected via. the ISP.  I've got a script  
that runs on the client ISP connected machine (its running Linux an  
the script is in the ppp-up.d directory so runs automatically  
everytime the pc reconnects and gets a new dynamic IP) - this  
client script (perl) talks to the server daemon (also perl) and  
then the data centre server re-maps the static IP to the dynamic IP  
- it redirects (using socat - excellent software!) to redirect the  
IAX2 port and the RTP ports between the IP addresses so that the  
normally dynamic IP addressed asterisk server now always has a real  
live static IP address.


This solution is working very well between two remote offices  
passing calls between the central data server computer.


I wonder would this solution help many people? I now couldn't live  
without it. If other people are interested I could have a little  
business renting people static mapped IP addresses.


Who needs that when there's dyndns and similar free services which  
are even supported by many routers? I have a dyndns hostname and my  
router is configured to contact the dyndns site whenever the IP on  
the public side changes. Works very well for my Asterisk setup at home.

You know, since the only power supply that came with the IAXy when I

did was throw away the original brick and connected a generic one where 
you can select voltage and polarity. Hearing about the possibility of 
power supply problems several times now made me think that the reason I 
haven't had any of the problems is because of the much-stronger (in 
terms of available amperage) power brick I use.

A few days ago I had the first-ever problem with the IAXy, after 
probably three months uptime. I picked up the receiver and hear static 
instead of a dial tone. power-cycling the device fixed it.

Never had a problem with mine. I set my DHCP server to hand out a 
specific IP to the IAXy, too.


- a 'reset' button
What's the advantage over unplugging the unit and plugging it back in?

And my IAXy doesn't work with my european phone (no tone) it's kind of

My IAXy works perfectly fine with a cheapo Panasonic cordless I bought

Its far less likely for a piece of dedicated hardware to fail than an

There are useful things like "heartbeat" which can transparently fail 
over from one machine to the next. They even take the IP address of the 
failed machine. A professional setup would have redundancy built in 
that way. I have run extremely busy load balancers that way and in the 
failover case everything is back to normal within seconds.

Are you shure of that? I'm aware that the load criteria is trickier,

Operating systems and probably a lot of devices *cache* the results of 
DNS lookups. That means removing A records won't do any good.

Short story: No matter what network service is being balanced, if you

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk monitoring with Nagios and IAX

2005-01-18 Thread Jens Vagelpohl
an application available called iaxping with would send a set of well
formed iax packets and wait for the response.  Unfortunately that
application was written in visual basic, and no source code was
distributed.  A skilled coder could probably use some of the required
functions from iaxclient or libiax2 and create a similar function in C.
I've googled around and tried a few things. The ideal solution would 
involve no library dependencies to make maintenance easier.

The specific problem I have is that I don't know what a IAX packet 
contains which elicits a measurable response from Asterisk. I have 
looked at the sources but it's very convoluted and the last time I 
touched any C was 7 years ago...

So if there was a way to "synthesize" this IAX PING or POKE packet it 
shouldn't be hard to just package that into a script that handles the 
connection establishment, sends it, and listens for a response.

When you combine these contexts, e.g. when you include them in your
