This is driving me nuts. Do you see the mp3 format in your list of modules? (do a "show modules" from the CLI) I think this was what I had when the module wasn't loaded for me. The m option to dialing plays music instead of ringing while dialing, which (from my understanding) isn't what you were after.

It's kind of silly that Asterisk includes mp3 files, and then there isn't a way to play them. (There could be licence reasons for this, or another reason I'm not aware of, but people will assume that MP3's work.) And, there is a certain coolness factor in it "just working", of course. Does format_mp3 only work properly in 1.4 then? I'll dig a bit and correct the wiki, if I can find a definitive answer.

RE: [asterisk-users] Escalate Call To Mobile
> Thanks, this it seems was what the problem was. Is it possible to > specify number of rings instead of timeout in seconds? Short answer: no. Longer answer: kind of. As alluded to here: > Also the timeout to Dial is in SECONDS, not RINGS. In the USA a ring > cycle is about 6 seconds. You can approximate how many rings have happened. But, the indication that is sent to you (the ring you hear when you are calling someone) isn't synced with ringing of the target phone (which has to do with the far end ring generator, if I recall right), there is no way to be sure. So, at the end of six seconds of "ringing", you are sure that the phone has rung at least once. It might not have started until late in the cycle, or you might have caught the tail end of one cycle and it's already starting to ring a second time. So, if you wanted to make sure it rings 5 times (in the USA), you have to let it ring for a minimum of 30 seconds. If it's easier, you could set this up as a variable called RINGCYCLE and just multiply your rings by it, like so: exten => _NXXNXX,1,SetVar(RINGCYCLE=6) exten => _NXXNXX,2,Dial(Sip/Provider/{EXTEN},$[${RINGCYCLE}*2]) (I think you could make RINGCYCLE a global var, but check to be sure).

Since patents require the disclosure of the novel process in order to be considered, reverse engineering or violating the DMCA (or whatever other law may apply) wouldn't have to be done. That's the beauty of patents, as opposed to keeping something a trade secret -- anyone can see what is being done.

While technically true, I believe (it may have changed in 1.4) that if you allow reinvites, the signalling path follows the audio path, and you end up with reported calls lasting 3 seconds.

I have looked into using an Adtran Total Access 750 platform instead, but got away from that idea after I saw the totally confusing amount of options of different modules I can buy. The Adit 600 seemed so much simpler to put together. Also, the Adit 600 had such an excellent appraisal in the asterisk voip-info - see http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20Channel%20Bank But maybe I need to come back to the Adtran TA750. Unfortunately that platform seems to only offer 24 fxs ports per unit and I need to buy an expensive T1 card. I would buy the Digium T1 card - it seems that it is by far the least expensive card, but $500 is still something. That's why I toyed with the Adit 600 plus cmg card - all I need is a standard network card on the Asterisk machine. We have sorely abandoned the idea of using an extensive amount of voip phones on the property, as we are not a homogenous office setup (ppl also live on the property). This solution would mean * putting in an entire new cat5 network. I would be the person who would have to put it all in place - When would I be finished? In 2 years? 4 years? 10 years? * lots of admin hassle to enable all the phones / add new phones / remove phones * users can't easily extend stations at end points. With two wire phone they simply switch one parallel to the existing one - no admin hassle / extra hubs etc. * two wire technology enables us to buy almost any phone available. * security concerns with the SIP protocol. See http://secunia.com/advisories/8169/ as an example * users potentially plugging their laptops into the voip sockets and browsing/downloading away => lots of setup/admin hassle with the firewall (how do you block Kazaa?) * Phones potentially breaking when users unplug power during firmware download. For example, this is an issue with the Grandstream phone. The only alternative that seems feasible at the moment would be * a different channel bank than the adit 600 or * a voip gateway that multiplexes many fxs ports into one ethernet connection. But before I would go down that route I would have to be absolutely sure that the SIP conforms to the standard, the upgrades are free and the fxs ports are compatible with uk standard two wire phones. I found that some two wire phones actually use 4 wires - confusing * a bank of ATAs (handytone 286 or similar). I *really* don't like that solution, as it is a bad botch job and throws lots of issues like which REN they have, many power supplies (or one big one). I really ought to be red in the face for even mentioning that solution. But if nothing else is available, I would probably have to buy them in bulk, take the boards out and mount them in a 19'' box together with a hub so I build my own voip gateway :) maybe it's not so botch after all :) ) For connection to the PSTN: We have three BT lines, and again, we would not like to move over to a different technology like ISDN. The lines work for us, and 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. We would use three Sipura SPA-3000 interfaces to connect them to the internal network. The SPA-3000 is sold in the UK and has the CE approval, so it should legally be ok. I am experimenting with one unit at the moment, and am smacked by the literally hundreds of options it has. But I heard good reports about that one, so I expect it to work well in our setting. Hi Peter, I'm not sure how you are getting PSTN lines into your * box, but if it's not ISDN30, you might want to consider some of the cheap IAX phones on the market now rather than trying to soldier on with old analogue kit? e.g. http://www.iaxtalk.com/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=29 Shipping for 30 units and UK power supplies was $340, and with the weak dollar right now, that works out at just over 40 quid per phone - I'm sure there's movement on the unit price when buying in bulk... Now remove the need for an Asterisk Quad-E1 / T1 interface card and you've dropped the cost by nearly a grand food for thought :) They also sell a single-ethernet-port version of the phone for $10 less if you have enough ethernet sockets. Cheers, Gavin. I got an Adtran 600 with 12 X FXO and 12 X FXS cards for $495 from Penny Doyen [EMAIL PROTECTED] With the strength of the poun

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Q: Does anyone have a WE multi-line card dialer phone working with *?
You have what is a traditional 1A2 type telephone set. If you wish to use the hold key and and lights you will need to connect a 1A2 KSU between it and *. Each line button has the following pr 1 = T/R pr 2 = A lead - this is a closure when the line is offhook pr 3 = Lamp Repeat x 4 Actually the Hold button is probably similarly wired. Hold is accomplished by opening the A lead before the TR loop. This is held in the KSU not the telephone. KSU also supplies your signal battery and lamp battery. Your ringer should be connected to the yellow slate pair of wires. Many other wiring options and configurations but this is the basic. Good Luck On Feb 13, 2005, at 8:40 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Folks, I recently obtained a Western Electric multi-line phone and am seeking help with getting this beast working with *. The interesting stuff in my * implementation consists of a T100P card, a TDM400P card, and an Adtran TA750 channel bank with three quad-port FXS modules and a quad-port FXO. The TA750 is wired to a 24-port Cat 5 patch panel via a 25-pair Amp cable. The phone is a model 2662A1M; it has five lines, a hold button (I presume), card dialer capability, and a 25-pair Amp cable for connecting to The Phone System. (The card dialer feature, IMHO, scores major geek points. If you're not familiar with it, you take a special plastic card about the size of a credit card and punch out two tiny discs for each digit in a phone number. When it's time to call that number, you insert the card in the phone, take the handset off hook, push the "START" button, and--voila!--the phone speed dials your party.) Each line in the phone uses three pairs in the Amp cable; the first pair is for ring and tip, the second pair is a mystery (I'm eagerly awaiting a copy of one of the phone's BSPs so I can find out), and the third pair illuminates the lamp in the button. Most of the remaining pairs in the Amp cable connect to one of the terminal boards inside the phone, and one pair connects to the phone's network (presumably for common ringing, since the leads connect to L1 and L2). If I were to connect the first pair of each line to the patch panel, I would have a perfectly serviceable five-line phone (I haven't yet tried the "hold" button). I would not have, however, illuminated buttons to indicate if channels were in use; nor would the phone ring on an incoming call. If I connect the first and third pairs of a line and plug that mess into a patch panel port, the lamp illuminates and the channel (according to the TA750 and *) goes off-hook--but I do not get a dial tone. I have not, BTW, performed any experiments with a port on the TDM400P. So . . . does anyone have any experience with such a project, or have any ideas on how to trick this up?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Zaptel DACS and FDL
Yes, but does FDL run over the per channel robbed bit signalling or does it run over the T-1 signaling. i.e. Does FDL run using ESF (applies to the whole T-1) or does it run on the robbed bit signaling for specific channels? FDL is carried in some surplus bits within the ESF frame, not within the payload.

If you are attaching a FAX or an alarm circuit then this is definately the way to go. Most analog gateways other than the IAXy speak SIP or MGCP. They do still provide your standard features and then some. For best results make certain the ethernet links from the gateways to the server are full duplex and switched, no hubs.

[Asterisk-Users] Not answering inbound a line used for outbound
Hi, I've dug a bit through the wiki and the mailing lists, and haven't really seen anything like this, but there must be someone out there doing this. Basically, there is a fax line that I don't want to answer inbound, but I want it available to do dial out from. Right now, we are using a busy wait around the ringing line, but I was hoping for something that might be a little more elegant. Here is the dialplan snip: exten => s,1,Wait(1) exten => s,2,GoTo(s,1) If I'm on the console when a call comes in, it loops through this bit of code a bunch of times. I'm guessing I could lengthen the "Wait(1)" time, but is there any other way to do this? Now, two other related questions: Can Asterisk recognize that something other then a Zap card has a line offhook? (ie there is a fax transmission in progress) Can I do something interesting with CallerID? (for example, create a log of all faxes that called us, or answer certain numbers inside of asterisk) Do excuse me if this is all answered in some concise FAQ, but I've been seriously looking and haven't seen anything about it.

I was apparently clear as mud in my first post, sorry about that. This Zap line (FXO) shares the PSTN line with a fax machine. We want to use it as an outbound line for voice calls, but never want to answer it inbound. This is the only bit that is in the start of the context, so the phone is in fact never answered. On the Asterisk console, I get to see it loop around. So, it works. But it just seems crufty to me. Would Hangup() work on an un-Answered() channel? That might be a way to do it, but I think that won't help, as the line will keep ringing.

But, on those lines, I have been reading a bit about Asterisk and Fax, and it's a bit confusing, to say the least. To just answer and recieve a fax, do I need to compile/link against anything else, or will a reasonably current build of Asterisk do this out of the box?

I used to have an old-fangled analog phone, and when someone picked up another extension on the same PSTN line, it had an LED that came on, even onhook. So, I'm assuming there is a way to "sense" the line is offhook somewhere. I've read about the dialtone issue, but I think that trying to recognize dialtone/speech is further down the line, once you've gone offhook, but I could be mistaken. > > Can I do something interesting with CallerID?

Well, I checked out Asterisk from CVS, so the path is different, but the files are in there. I briefly looked through this when I installed, but this list and the Wiki have been good refs as of late. Thanks for the reminder though; I had definately forgotten about that dir. To record interesting things through the dialplan though, I'd need some actual context with at least the start extension, correct?

I'm looking rather at letting paticular people call the fax ine and pick up with asterisk, before the fax machine kicks in.

[Asterisk-Users] Questions about contexts
I'm trying to clarify contexts and their uses. I do have a good general understanding of them. My question is about "undeclared" and "non-existant" contexts. If I have a block somewhere (in sip.conf, for example), and it has no "context=thiscontext" field, does it just automatically use the "default" context? Or is this settable? (I see there is an entry for context in the [general] block. I'm guessing this can be used to set a global context for that file. But if this is omitted, what context does the file get? Is "default" a hardcoded fallback?) Someone suggested that I could define a "non-existant" context, being one that isn't actually declared, and set that in my "context=" line, and calls so directed wouldn't go anywhere. Would it be possible to do this with an empty definition (are they equivalent?) Lastly, I'm trying to get a good handle on "include" contexts. If I have: [contexta] ; commands omitted [contextb] ; commands omitted and I add: [contextc] include => contexta include => contextb ; commands omitted Then "contexta" and "contextb" are available to "contextc"'s dialers, right? Do I have to make sure there are no overlapping extensions in all three contexts?

Apparently you can do this with contexts; I actually _just_ posted a Question for a clarification on this one. (See "Questions about contexts") Basically you aim your inbound Zap channel at either a non-existent context, or a blank context, and Asterisk won't do anything. I'm curious because you say that it "answers" without an Answer line. There are some apps that will automatically answer, but if you are just using wait(x) then there shouldn't be an answer.

To connect your phone lines, you either want to get a punch down block that has a 50 pin connector on it, or possibly a device with RJ11 style jacks and a 50 pin connector. Then you connect it with a 25 pair cable with 50 pin connectors on either side. Go to any reputable supplier near you and they should be able to help you look at and find what you are comfortable with to use for installation. -- Install an RJ21 and cable to your Adit. As Steve mentioned the Adit has 2 50pin connectors. They are female. An RJ21 is a 66M150 Block mounted on a bracket and wired to 2 50 pin connectors mounted on the same bracket. These connectors may be either male or female, but generally female. See http://www.siemon.com/e-catalogXML/ datasheet.aspPN=157C&FAM=S66PrewiredMSerie&P=5739 for an example. Go to your local telecom distributor, probably who you are ordering your Adit from, and get a prewired block and 2 25pr cables to connect your adit. If you are not going to ever exceed 24 lines then you may only connect 1 25pr able. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom vs. Cisco IP Phones
The lack of full SIP suport and the cost of Ciscos license plus the added base cost of their phones moved us away from Cisco and over to Polycom. They have been working extremely well. Software updates are free and the update process is relatively simple. I have found the IP600 is a great desk phone. I do use some IP300s for break rooms etc, but do not like them on a desk. Not sure the rquirements for your receptionist. I have found that the IP600 does have most everything required to function properly. If you do have an office without DID and a lot of traffic then you may want to look at the tools to display status on her computer. I do have a Snom inhouse for testing when I get a chance.

Are you using a terminal to talk to the CAC? Depending on configuration you may have the DIP switches disabled and changing them will do no good.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Rhino Channel Bank or ADIT 600
I don't know what you mean by talk. Cost difference: well this is how I calculated it, one the overall cost of having to get an asterisk box that needs more CPU, and 2 the actual cost of the cards to make it work. As well as taking into considiration that adit is telco grade equipment, and has very good performance. Option 1: An adit 600 loaded with 6 FXS cards = $800, Digium Quad t1 = $1500. Option 2: An adit 600 with 5 FXS cards, and 1 CMG02 card = $1500 (Max, you could get it for cheaper). Option 1 for 384 (8 * 48) analog ports: 8 * 800 + 2 * 1500 = $9,400. (around $24.50 per port) Option 2 for 360 (9 * 40) analog ports: 9 * 1500 = $13,500. ($37.50 per port) But option 2 can all go on one asterisk box, since it's all voip, and no transcoding has to take place (in fact it's like getting 9 more asterisk boxes to give you some more horsepower). With option 1 you will run into problems of using more than one digium card on one box, although it works, it is not recommended. Consider that a dual xeon system costs $3000 you will end up paying $7,700 for each pair of 4 adit boxes, and this doesn't even give you the options of adding telco t1s. In my opinion using the CMG cards will pay out in every single way when you are talking of anything more than 2 Adit boxes to a single system. Couple observations. Adit with CMG uses MGCP vs SIP. Not sure how extensive the * support is for this. I believe Carrier Access is working on a SIP release but not sure how complete it will be. CMG/CMG2 are nice cards. Also have a nice license builtin for G729. If you use though you will need a matching one for the * server. However there is also a call limit of 12, I think, for the CMG and 24 for the CMG2 cards. Depending on application you could easily exceed this. So take the 8 T1 capacity with a grain of salt, you will not be able to have that may calls up at a time. Also one of my favorite applications is connecting an Adit directly via T1 to a Digium card. Then using another T1 port on the Digium card to connect to PRi from PSTN. This is called a traditional TDM switch. No IP in the patch, no headaches. Great for such things as FAX and ALARM circuits which are very problematic with IP in the path. It is not always about up front costs but about capabilities and support costs down the line. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[Asterisk-Users] Zap tuning for echo/gain
I'm having a bit of an issue with one of the bargain x100p clones, and I'm not sure what the right approach is. My symptom started as way loud offset delayed echo from voip hardphones -> PSTN through the clone card. I played with and then learned everything I could about echo cancelling, and have managed to bring the echo down to acceptible levels, where it's not too intrusive. In my travels I discovered "ztmonitor", and thought I'd run this. Now, with no call and no activity on the line, the RX side shows a reading of about 1/3 of the bar graph. I figured this is bad (right?) and tweaked my rxgain value (I had never had to touch this before) until ztmonitor only showed one bar. I accomplished this by adding a negative value to the rxgain, I believe it was -12. My question is: Is this the right approach? Should I be tweaking my gains first, and then adjusting echo, or vice versa? Is there something else completely I should be looking at first, or is this the right thing to do? I did have a genuine Digium analog TDM card in there previously, but I had to swap boxes and for some reason the TDM isn't probing (and digium support haven't been too helpful, but that is another story). The TDM didn't need any tweaks; it seemed to have worked out of the box (although I might have been more tolerant of slight echo before, but the clone card was simply intolerable for conversation). Any suggestions or comments welcome.

[Asterisk-Users] Sip registration question
Hi everyone, I have a number of SIP registrations going fine, but am trying to get a new provider going, and they have no sample Asterisk SIP config. They have been helpful, but keep falling back to the way they "think" packets should be flowing, and I've been trying to figure out how the Asterisk config should look like to get the SIP packet to look correct. Now, they say that from a phone this works fine, and that our config must be at issue. The claim is that "Asterisk isn't doing MD5 authentication right", and since I'm not an expert with SIP MD5 auth in asterisk, may be true. Right now, I'm trying to get the registration happening. On a "test" server, we've been able to put through a call w/o registration, so it seems some of this can be compatible. I'm wondering if I can use "md5secret" with a "register => " statement. The current busted config: [general] ;register => userid:pass:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:5069 [myipsolution] type=friend authuser=acctid username=userid secret=pass md5secret=XXXMD5HASH of userid:asterisk:pass X nat=yes host=voipprovider.com port=5069 insecure=very canreinvite=no The error on the console is: Jul 16 11:29:20 NOTICE[3361]:-- Registration for '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' timed out, trying again Jul 16 11:29:21 WARNING[3361]: Forbidden - wrong password on authentication for REGISTER for 'userid' to 'voipprovider.com' The password is right, as given and verified by the provider.

[Asterisk-Users] Zap channel(s), meetme and codecs/licences
Hi all, Some simple questions about codecs: What codec does the Zap channel use by default? Can this default be changed, and to what? (g729 too?) What codec does meetme use? (I think this is ulaw, but asking to be sure) Can you use another codec, or does everything have to be transcoded to ulaw? Finally ... if I have a 3way call going, between 1 g729 caller and two other callers, do I need one or two available licences? (I'm guessing that zap doesn't do g729, and am wondering if I have an FXO caller and a local FXS person talking to a VoIP caller using g729, how it would work) Trying to nail down how all of the codecs and figure out how the licence costs might work.

This is my thinking too, but that is what I'm a bit unclear about. > Without a better understanding of what devices you are truly trying to > use, I don't believe anyone is going to be able to answer your questions > relative to zap channels and codec selection/conversion. I have a customer that wants to try using a local IAX provider for origination. The provider is using g729, and right now I have some digium FXS ports (along with an FXO for outbound access). We have some SIP hardphones, and they all have the ability to do g729. We will need a licence to do voicemail unless we convert files to g729 format. However, to get a phonecall to be handled by the Zap phones, I wasn't sure if something was needed or not, and you've cleared that up. I asked about meetme internal format just so I could see if there was a possibility to "work around" the need for converters. My worry is that we might run out of licences during the test, and that Asterisk would simply drop a call if it can't complete one leg of the call, leaving both the caller and my customer frustrated. Ideally we could buy n+1 licences, but I am trying to get some sort of a feel for what "n" will look like, and how practical/viable that is on a much larger scale rollout. Thanks, by the way... you are always very helpful, both in the several replies to my messages, and many other messages replies to others.

I have my AGI working for when a call comes in - however I would like the AGI started up automatically with asterisk on a couple channels as I want to monitor my database and when things happen place a couple calls etc. I am aware of the outgoing directory but that is not exactly what I am wanting to do unless there is a way to have the commands in the file not actually dial but just give me a channel and start my AGI. They my AGI can place the call if that is what is required.

[asterisk-users] no audio between two asterisk servers
HI I am running asterisk 1.4.18 on both machines. I have two asterisk machines setup and a polycom phone, the main machine is #1 the polycom phone is connected to it as the server. I come offhook on the polycom, dial 21, which calls machine #2. Machine #2 is only to play demo-congrats. Watching the asterisk monitor on both machines I see on #1 the Dial going to machine #2, machine #2 shows executing playback(demo-congrats). However, I hear no audio. I have done "service iptables stop" on both machines. Both machines have in their sip.conf entry disallow=all allow=ulaw allow=alaw Everything "appears" to be working - just not hearing audio. Why else would I not hear audio? When I run the polycom and call into the dialplay on machine #1 I hear audio just fine.

Now when I run permissions issue is gone, however, When I try to access by variables (as I have dont many other times) I am getting an error. In my call file I have SetVar: MEETME_PLAYFILE=/home/silentm/record/pc.610.wav And when I asking for the value of MEETME_PLAYFILE it is giving an error about the PIPE being broken. Is there something special about this option "b" and what an AGI can and cannot do??? The AGI actually calls a C program (this is the same C file I have been using for a long time) and I just ask the AGI for the values of the variables.

[asterisk-users] MeetMe option b
I have been playing with meetme option b. I was wanting to use a spool call file going to a local channel, then bring a list of asterisk boxes into a meetme in talk only mode. then run the AGI to play a wave file then hangup. It seems to be doing all this but I hear no audio. I seem to get pipe errors when running the AGI. Should this work? Is there an example of this anywhere. I basically just want to bring in a list of asterisk boxes (console ports on their end) speak a wave file and hang up the meetme. seems easy enough. This same thing works for speaking live. All I added was playing a wave file instead with the agi.

[asterisk-users] Way to hangup a call between two asterisk machines
I am using a call file with a channel like: Channel: SIP/machine1_to_machine2/1042 for example. This is between two asterisk boxes. When this is done machine1 does not show anything for "core show channels". however machine 2 does show the channel as being active. How can I keep the call showing on machine 1 in "core show channels" so when I need to kill or hangup the call I can. Eveything is working in my testing, I just need to call to show up on machine 1 so I can hangup the call when I need to... probably through an agi.

[asterisk-users] question how to play wave file in meetme and exit
Hi all I am playing with meetme and I have things working in speak live mode. What I would like to do is have a small meetme that kicks off on a schedule (no problem there) and just plays a wave file in the meetme and then exists. I have played with option b of the meetme where the AGI plays a wave file. However it seems like I have not audio. I see things happening as expected on the CLI screen but I have not audio. Should this work? The meetme is pure SIP. I do have a zaptel TDm800 in my server but this particular meetme is pure SIP. Is there an example of this somewhere? the agi is being called, the SIP devices are in the meetme I just dont hear audio. The AGI reports is played the file "200" return code but I actually returns really fast like it did not play the wav file. I can play the given wave file in asterisk for other uses. If I cannot use meetme for this how else would I do it? Bring X SIP devices in a meetme and play a wave file then exit.

[asterisk-users] question on meetme
I am trying to use meetme() on SIP channels. I found this line on voip-info.org - It *is* necessary either to have a Digium card or a dummy timing driver (e.g. ztdummy or zaprtc) in order for MeetMe to work at all, but that doesn't help you use AGI with SIP channels: They have no capacity to use any AGI script at all. If they try to, they get no audio. - I am using 1.4.18 and I am hearing no audio. just like it says. I do have a digium TDm800 card in my box. Does asterisk 1.6beta have this same issue still How do people get around this issue? I am looking for a meetme conferencing in a handful of phones, call AGI to play a wave file then hangup My meetme is a pure SIP meetme.

Re: [asterisk-users] Dialing off-hook with Polycom SoundPoint IP 430
What does your digitmap on your phone look like? This is what controls sending the call to * when it recognizes a complete dial pattern. The phone does not send digit by digit. If it is waiting for you to press send, then it does not recognize your pattern. On Mar 26, 2008, at 8:18 AM, Brig C.

Jared, I have no card in this unit at this time. lsmod shows ztdummy loaded. I turned on "rtp debug" and got a bunch of lines like: Got RTP packet from 192.168.1.99:2226 Does that help you?

[asterisk-users] call files
I am trying to use call files that dial and play a wave file on 3 asterisk boxes console dsp. This is working. The 3 boxes are noticeably out of sync. From using 3 different call files (time to process) I'm sure is the time delay. Is there a way to get these audios more in sync?

Got RTP packet... There are no Sent RTP packets.. under normal cases there is One sent and one Got: Got RTP packet... Sent RTP packet... Why would asterisk not be sending RTP packets I have no hardware card in this test system. Just two polycom IP330 phones. Once in a great while I will hear audio when calling into the dialplan and playing demo-congrats. 95% of the time I hear NO audio though. I am using asterisk 1.4.18, libpri 1.4.3 and zaptel 1.4.9.2 (ztdummy is loaded) Why might asterisk NOT be sending RTP packets?

[asterisk-users] RTP no sound on asterisk
Hi all, I seem to only be getting (1) call to sip_write() in channels/chan_sip.c I have a very simple setup. one server (no cards) 2 polycom IP 330 phones. Server is 192.168.1.150 and phone is DHCP. Nothing else on the network. No firewall is enabled. I call into the dialplan with: exten => 112,1,Answer exten => 112,n,Playback(demo-congrats) exten => 112,n,Hangup I see this executing on the CLI. However I have no audio. Enabling RTP debug I see the Got RTP packet but there are no send RTP packets going out. I edited the source and put logging messages first in main/rtp.c and I saw the ast_rtp_raw_write() getting called 1 time. so I backed up the tree. Got into channels/chan_sip.c sip_write() and it only gets called 1 time. I have had a couple of times where I heard audio. Hangup up and tried again. And NO audio for bunch more times... What can be causing my RTP issue and no audio?

I modified the dialplan to use echo. I turned on rtp debug and I see packets going BOTH ways. I have looked all through the zaptel.conf (below) everything is commented out. there are no cards in my box. zapata looks the same everything commented out. I am not finding a reason for not getting audio packets sent back to the phone. Any suggestion on something to try?

It says "Opened pseduo zap interface, measuring accuracy..." and that is all. I am using Centos 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 I also just tried rmmod ztdummy and then starting asterisk again and the audio works. something is wrong with ztdummy. I went back to zaptel-1.4.9.2 diretory and did make clean; ./configure; make; make install (one at a time ) I saw no errors. tail /var/log/messages after modprove showed no errors. Now what?
