[asterisk-users] Need Help

2013-01-17 Thread Joe Ruffolo
Hi all! In need of some serious help. We currently run Trixbox and Cent Os on a 
2u server for our small business's phones system.

We are using some Polycom Soundpoint IP phones. The whole thing came crashing 
down over the Holidays and as of right now that's about

all we have working right now are the phones. The reason I joined this list is 
because I was hoping to get our external paging  intercom system back up and 
running

(it runs off of a sound card but cant get it all configured correctly) and to 
be honest I have no clue where to start. I've tried reading some online guides 
but nothing.

I had worked with the sshguard guys to add support for Asterisk; I
believe they added basic support.  I haven't gotten around to revisiting
that issue just yet so I don't know for sure.

http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2010-December/256928.html

sshguard is *extremely* lightweight compared to most things; it's a very
efficient compiled C application that doesn't have (m?)any dependencies.

Hi again,

Nobody knows how to disable it? Can at least someone pinpoint me where can I 
check the latest documentation regarding SRTP. Maybe something might have 
change in the meanwhile  'Cause so far it looks like there is a bug in asterisk.
Well, maybe I should report this bug then.

 Everything seems to work OK but I am having a weird issue. I cannot

Well, right now I have to have noload=res_srtp.so on my modules.conf 
otherwise I cannot place SIP calls (cause other ends don't support it)

Those tools don't seem to generate (or I can't figure out how to get
them to generate) any of the above messages; I already have plenty
of the

Registration from 'foo' failed for 'host' - reason

messages that sipvicious seems to generate.  I'm not quite sure what
to do to generate examples of the above messages, any suggestions
are appreciated.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk SIP attacks and sshguard

2010-12-09 Thread Joe Greco
Hello,

We had been seeing SIP-guessing attacks on our Asterisk server here.

While it wasn't that hard to write a once-a-minute cron job to spank
the lusers, that runs once a minute and creates little spikes in the
usage and I/O graphs, and is slower to respond than I'd really prefer.
I felt that it'd be much cooler to get something more comprehensive 
put together.  We don't use fail2ban because I don't like having to 
install python.

sshguard is a high-performance compiled C application that can run
off a log file or a pipe from syslogd to sshguard, meaning that it
can respond a lot more quickly than once a minute, and works with
very modest overhead on the host system.  It also has features such
as touchiness, so that it can get tougher on a miscreant as time goes
on; my own shell script is naive in that once it passes a threshold,
there's just a permanent rule generated.  This worries me if I ever
have a situation where a legitimate remote client gets messed up and
tries the wrong password or something like that; sshguard does a much
nicer job in this regard.

In any case, my initial attempts to create rules for sshguard didn't
work right, quite possibly because I don't often work in LEX/YACC.
I submitted a request to the sshguard guys suggesting new rules.

http://www.sshguard.net/support/submission/detail/49ce7182028d8b6f3e3d/

and on their mailing list, a little more:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=F4E10075-5D93-43B4-B73A-1FD217BE130D%40sshguard.net&forum_name=sshguard-users

In particular, they're looking for log examples of some of those 
messages, but I have no idea how to generate the conditions that would
cause these messages.  I'm also not sure if there's a way to disable
color codes in the Asterisk log files; we log indirectly via BSD's
"logger"

# asterisk -vvv 2>&1 | logger -t asterisk

so it may be thinking that the console is color-capable.  We use this
method because this forces them through the syslog mechanism; we need 
that for centralized logging, and it's handy for things like sshguard
too.

Specifically looking for examples of (or how to generate)

1)  .*No registration for peer '.*' (from )
2)  .*Host  failed MD5 authentication for '.*' (.*)
3)  .*Failed to authenticate user .*@.*

If anyone who is more familiar with the attacks or how to generate
these messages would give me some assistance, or chime in on the
sshguard-users list, that'd be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: [asterisk-users] Door Contacts via Asterisk?

2010-11-15 Thread Joe Freeman
I've done a remote door unlock system in the past. The customer had an 
existing magnetic lock system that utilized push buttons on the wall to 
release the magnetic locks on the doors. They already had this system, 
and the associated door controller.

I used an APC AP9210 Master Switch network power controller to solve the 
problem. I plugged the power brick for the door controller into the 
AP9210, put the AP9210 on the network, and wrote a script that caused 
the device to cut power to the door controller for 5 seconds by setting 
an SNMP variable.

I coupled that shells script with some dialplan logic that asked the 
caller for a pin, then using the callerid(num) value as a username, 
checked the username/pin combo against a database.. If the combination 
passed, the shell script was called. If it didn't, I looped back to the 
request for the pin, for up to 2 more times, then disconnected the call.

I know Cyberdata has some SIP based door intercoms that have lock relays 
built in, as well. I have no idea what the cost for them is, though.

[asterisk-users] SIP 800 Origination/Termination - International

2010-09-14 Thread Joe Freeman
Anyone have a good provider for International (US/Canada at least) 800 
termination/origination? I have a customer that had us port one of their 
800 numbers and apparently didn't realize that they had published that 
number in Canada as well. Our current origination/termination provider 
can't handle Canadian inbound calls to that number, so I need to find 
another provider that can.

Thanks-
Joe

Has anyone else encountered this problem before? I saw one posting on

change.

Help.

Thanks a bunch,

Hello.

Can someone tell me why AsteriskNow is reverting to registering s@ as
an extension?

My experience with Asterisk in the past has been with inbound analog

I don't see any call attempt/logs when I bump up the verbosity, and

I get the same error. Same random voicemail when no voicemail is configured.

I was under the impressing that "s" was the catchall for all incoming
trunks. What has changed?

[asterisk-users] Incoming SIP Calls dumped to non-existent VM no matter what extensions.conf setup is used

2010-08-04 Thread Joe Wood
Hello.

I have been beating my head over this problem for about 6 hours now.

I have a SIP peer, who I register to (successfully), who should be
directing all incoming calls at my [default] stanza in my
extensions.conf:

[ Context 'default' created by 'pbx_config' ]
  's' =>1. Wait(1)[pbx_config]
2. Answer()   [pbx_config]
3. Background(welcome)[pbx_config]
4. Background(and)[pbx_config]
5. Background(thank-you-for-calling)  [pbx_config]
6. Background(conference-reservations)[pbx_config]
7. Waitfor()  [pbx_config]
8. Hangup()   [pbx_config]

Unfortunately, no matter how I configure extensions.conf or sip.conf,
the phone call always ends up saying: "Extension is unavailable.
Please leave your message after the tone".

sip.conf:

[general]
register => NPANXX:passw...@service_provider_ip
registertimeout=29
registerattempts=0
defaultexpiry=60

[DID_NUMBER]
type=peer
context=default
host=SERVICE_PROVIDER_IP
authuser=DID_NUMBER
fromuser=DID_NUMBER
fromdomain=SERVICE_PROVIDER_REALM
remotesecret=SERVICE_PROVIDER_PASSWD
secret=SERVICE_PROVIDER_PASSWD
dtmfmode=rfc2833
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
qualify=yes

I am attempting just to get the starting point where I can direct
users through my asterisk box, but it won't direct users to the 's'
extention, only to some voicemail box. I've removed the voicemail
config.

My extensions.conf is tiny:

[globals]

[general]

[default]
exten => s,1,Wait(1)
exten => s,n,Answer()
exten => s,n,Background(welcome)
exten => s,n,Background(and)
exten => s,n,Background(thank-you-for-calling)
exten => s,n,Background(conference-reservations)
exten => s,n,Waitfor()
exten => s,n,Hangup()


What am I doing wrong here?



Thanks for any help you can give.


Joe

Re: [asterisk-users] Big time system

2010-06-25 Thread Joe Freeman
Cary-

Asterisk may carry you a way down this road, but in the end, it's not, 
and was never designed to be a class 5 telecom switch. There are people 
working on a carrier grade implementation that may or may not be fully 
class 5, but I don't know what the status is on that. I haven't gotten 
an answer from Digium on that lately.

What you're looking for are local gateways that backhaul to a central 
switch site with equipment that can support traffic from multiple rate 
centers in multiple LATAs. This gets complicated quickly, especially if 
your rate centers are spread across multiple states.

You'll want some type of Multiservice Access Platform (MSAP). Zhone 
makes the MALC and their newer MXK box. Adtran has the TA-5000 shelf. 
Neither are what you'd call cheap. Both will provide T1 access, DSL, 
SDSL, VDSL, bonded, and even ethernet access to the customer over a 
variety of transport options, including copper pairs.

The Zhone box already has SIP backhaul for voice traffic, and the Adtran 
shelf should have it soon. Today the Adtran box has GR303 backhaul for 
voice.

All that said, what you're proposing indicates to me that you're likely 
to need to establish CLEC certification in whatever states you'll be 
operating. That in itself is not a short process. It can take anywhere 
from 90 days to a year depending on the state, and expect to spend from 
$10K up on legal costs per state alone. Insurance, financial health, and 
other requirements vary by state as well.

The ILECs generally won't even talk to you about establishing colo and 
gaining access to the copper loops until you get the CLEC certificate. 
Generally the process starts by getting the certificate, then 
negotiating an ICA, then trunking services, then colo. Different 
carriers will be easier to work with than others, but they are all a 
pain. AT&T requires you to have a $10M general liability policy in place 
before you can even submit a request for a space availability report.

All this is not to say it can't be done, but to point out that it's a 
very difficult process to negotiate, even when you have done it several 
times. Without experience it can be close to impossible. I'd suggest 
getting a good telecom/clec consultant and a good telecom lawyer (I know 
a few) involved early in the process, or you'll end up spending ALOT of 
money.

Hit me off-list and I can give you more info.

Re: [asterisk-users] Slightly OT: trying to mangle packets from Asterisk for a multiple ISP setup (reward)

2010-06-01 Thread Joe Freeman
The simple fix your missing is to simply put your NICs on different 
layer 3 segments.

In a configuration wherein multiple adapters are bound to the same layer 
3 network (subnet), most IP stacks will only send traffic out the first 
NIC to bind to that network. I've seen this many times in data centers 
where server guys configure the NICs in the same subnet for "load 
balancing".

With some IP stacks, even arp responses are only sent from the first NIC 
to bind to the subnet. This creates problems at layer 2, especially in 
large traffic volume situations. Since a technically correct arp 
response is sent - the mac address in the response is for the NIC to 
which the arp request was sent - from the first NIC to bind to the 
subnet, the switch(es) never actually learn where the MAC addresses for 
the other NICs are located. This creates a situation where all traffic 
for these NICs is broadcast to all ports in the VLAN.

The same thing that's wrong with a lot of theoretically superior
technologies: SIP is *more* universal, and therefore if it's a choice
of supporting two technologies or just one, SIP has more bang for the
buck.  Almost every gadget or gizmo supports SIP.  Few support IAX2.
To support IAX2 for the relatively small number of people who know what
it is and who are running Asterisk or IAX2-capable gear may be more
trouble than it is worth.

[asterisk-users] res fax help

2010-04-09 Thread Joe Freeman
I have res_fax setup and working for the most part. However, I'm seeing 
some fax machines drop the connection on me -

Apr  9 17:33:11] NOTICE[30809]: res_fax.c:906 generic_fax_exec: Channel 
'DAHDI/1-1' did not return a frame; probably hung up.
 -- Channel 0/1, span 1 got hangup, cause 102
 -- Channel 'DAHDI/1-1' FAX session '20' is complete, result: 
'SUCCESS' (FAX_SUCCESS), error: 'NO_ERROR', pages: 1, resolution: 
'204x98', transfer rate: '14400', remoteSID: ''
   == Spawn extension (macro-fax_rcv, s, 3) exited non-zero on 
'DAHDI/1-1' in macro 'fax_rcv'

It appears to be dropping out of my macro fax_rcv at that point and not 
executing the next step in the dialplan, which is a System call to a 
script that converts the tif to a pdf and emails it to the extension owner.

My question is how do I ensure that my script is called when the far end 
hangs up before the call progresses that far in the dialplan?

My first thought is to add something like this-

exten => h, 1, System(callmyscript.sh,arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4,argimapirate)

to the macro, but I'm not sure if that would do it or not.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks-
Joe

Replacing the jacks down the road is (yawn).  Big deal if you need to.
Pick whatever works for the current deployment.  You WILL be running at
least Cat5e to the jacks, every jack, right?  That's the problematic
bit for the future - not the jack itself.  You don't want to plug RJ11
into RJ45 jacks, so plan to make it work out somehow.  You can always
make RJ11/45 cables so RJ45 is my preference.

I will second that the Panasonic systems are nice.  They're everything
you would expect in a proprietary phone system and you are not likely
to be disappointed in the system as long as it offers the features you
want.

That said, you are forever locked into that system.  I can't say I've
looked much into the Panasonics since we went Asterisk here, but at the
time there was a definite feeling of it being "last decade's" technology,
and that was the better part of a decade ago.

Features will "just work."  But the features you don't have, you will
never have, at least not without a lot of hacking.

Asterisk is forward-looking.  Expect things not to work without some
programming and configuration.  Consider something simple like VoIP.
With Asterisk, easy to use VoIP on either or both sides.  I wouldn't
have guessed years ago that one day my cell phone would double as a
SIP extension.  Yet it happened and it works.

And look at where telephony is going.  It's going to be VoIP, sooner
or later.  All that copper's going away.  Get network-centric now and
maybe you won't get stuck with a dinosaur.  It's a tradeoff.  Asterisk
can be more work.  But you can do more too.  Our Asterisk announces
calls by name over the intercom and lights it up on the TV's as well.
Easy to do with a programmable box.

There's nothing saying you have to change things constantly with 
Asterisk.  Some of us have systems that are generally untouched for
long periods of time.

[asterisk-users] Any good dialplan code out there to implement vertical service codes?

2009-12-28 Thread Joe Freeman
Greetings-

I'm in the process of turning up an Asterisk box for a customer and was 
wondering if anyone had any good code they could share for implementing 
vertical service codes within Asterisk. I'd really rather not have to 
spend hours making new wheels if someone has one or more that will fit.

One of my issues is that I've had a very hard time finding out exactly 
which VSC's are already implemented in what parts of Asterisk. This 
system will be for the most part an IP Centrex platform for this 
customer, who will be selling services to his end-users.

I've got a pretty good line on how I'm going to handle personal LD pin 
codes using ODBC, but if anyone has any code for that I might get some 
pointers from, I'd appreciate that too.

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.


Thanks-
Joe

Re: [asterisk-users] FW: hi Dan

2009-11-13 Thread Joe Greco
> What say you to the proposal that some approaches to seeking help are  
> so ridiculous they should not be tolerated?
> 
> Community standards neither conceive nor enforce themselves.

This community standard is entirely self-enforcing.

If everybody thinks the request for help is unwarranted and doesn't
deserve an answer, then nobody answers.

If it isn't so intolerable to fall victim to that, then someone may
feel inclined to help out and answer.

If the volume of such requests becomes sufficiently burdensome that
it exhausts those answering the questions, then eventually the
equilibrium resets; those answering the questions begin to pick out
the ones that they feel are worthy of answers.

Years ago, I got a bit of a panicky phone call from a sysadmin at an
ISP that I was loosely familiar with from mailing lists.  He was rather
frazzled and puzzled because he had been struggling to solve a problem
during a downtime; it was something I was familiar with and had been
advocating on a mailing list.  He was doing something completely
reasonable-seeming, it's just that what he was doing didn't work, and
had never worked that way.  I walked him through a different method,
from memory, solved his problem.  I'm positive I could have charged
him billable hours, but I didn't, because I felt somewhat responsible
for having advocated something rather complex that was followed by a 
competent admin and it blew up in his face - precisely *because* the
problem and fix were obscure.

The Asterisk community is great at promoting itself, but quite frankly
the documentation and solutions are sometimes not all that great.  It
can be challenging to find the right fix, or even *a* fix.  Questions
*must* be expected.  The community has generally been fairly successful
at coping with the questions; I view the beginning of this thread to be
a sign of that.

There's absolutely something to be said for that.  On the other hand,
there is also something to be said for making people exhaust the
available resources prior to solving their problems for them.  You 
can even be charitable and kind while doing so...

Back in the '90's, I knew a really bright guy who knew Windows and
Novell inside and out.  He was just learning UNIXy stuff (FreeBSD in
particular) and he was discovering that there was a lot of application
for the stuff.  He would frequently approach me, desperately seeking an
answer to some general problem of some sort.  I would typically give
relatively vague answers, ending up essentially with a "figure it out
yourself."  This frustrated him to no end, but he would do so.  Later,
he would come to me, almost always with a workable solution, at which
point we would often discuss the ins and outs of several different
options.  His solution wasn't always the *best*, but it would always
serve as a foundation for the rest.

Years later, he thanked me.  At the time, he didn't really appreciate
what I was doing and didn't see the bigger picture.  Looking back on
it, I think he saw that I had always tried to aim him in a sensible
direction before shoving him off on his own to figure it out.  He
eventually grew confident enough and capable enough that he would no
longer need to ask for help.

I can fix your problems for you, or I can teach you to be self-
sufficient...  which one is doing you more of a favor?  It may seem
more "charitable and kind" to simply give someone answers, but I do
not think it actually is, at least in this sort of situation.

As for the original poster?  It's my impression, reading in between
the lines, that he probably hasn't tried that hard.  Asterisk on Linux
is pretty straightforward, and MOH is probably not that rough to get
running.  On FreeBSD?  That's a different thing.  Bleh.  But it's still
better to do it on-list rather than selecting someone at random to go
and bother.

I don't think anyone will prevent you from being "charitable and kind"
by providing answers to the guy's questions on the list though.

Re: [asterisk-users] Help with concurrent VoIP calls

2009-11-07 Thread Joe Greco
> By "fast" I mean the best Business DSL Bellsouth has to offer: "Up to
> 6.0 Mbps downstream - Up to 512 Kbps upstream"

That almost sounds like an invitation to check out what business service
your cableco offers.

One thing to be aware of with DSL and cable modems is that there can be
various ill effects as your line gets closer to its rated capacity; do
not expect that you'll get a reliable 512Kbps upstream.  VoIP is sensitive
to loss, latency, and jitter.  You may be able, for example, to only get
384Kbps reliably out of the link (before packet loss/jitter/etc wreck its
suitability for VoIP).  That's a good time to look seriously at a gateway
package like pfSense that can prioritize certain classes of traffic while
also limiting overall bandwidth.

As an example, we noticed on the local business cable offering (2Mbps up)

Shaped  PL  min avg max stddev
2.2M3   6.4 251 557 176
2.1M1   7.8 350 584 134
2.0M3   6.4 271 535 132
1.9M1   7   254 527 131
1.8M0   6   79  339 90
1.75M   0   5.9 14  92  11
1.7M0   5.4 13  77  10
1.65M   0   4.9 11  69  7
1.6M0   5.4 13  55  9
1.5M0   5.3 11  59  7
1.4M0   5   11  57  7
1.3M0   4.9 11  54  6
1.2M0   4.9 11  52  7
1.1M0   4.8 14  53  11

The max starts trending up after 1.6M (helps to graph it) and pretty much
everything goes to hell after 1.75M.

It appears to support a SD/MMC card, meaning that it can support gigs of
low power storage space.  Or a USB HDD for higher power storage space.

128m of RAM isn't a lot, but some people are apparently running Asterisk
on 32MB Linksys WRT54GS's (OpenWRT).  If you were careful and cautious,
it'd probably work.

The Ethernet as an add-on kinda stinks and is probably the largest
negative.

By the way, I'm also willing to work with any developers who want to do
US BRI work.  The Adtran ports can play as either NT or TE, so it is
trivial to hook up a card to a spare port and pretend to be a CO for
dev work, and we have real BRI's available for testing as well.  E-mail
me directly if interested.

Asterisk would deal with it just as it would any other SIP-based
service adapter, I would imagine.  Imagine it as a large Sipura
3000, or whatever the contemporary VOIP-to-POTS gateway of the
modern era is.

Have a look at the compatibility chart at 

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk653/technologies_tech_note09186a0080111b16.shtml

This will give you an idea about combinations that ought to work, I
believe.  Unfortunately, I don't know if any of them are cheap.

We've had BRI for over a decade.  It rocks.  It's incredibly flexible
and is not susceptible to the radio stations that are broadcasting at
50 billion gigawatts half a mile from here (POTS goes to hell).  I can
do fun stuff like terminating calls into a USR I-Modem, giving me the
ability to do 56k remote dialup access into our local network, etc.

Unfortunately, getting it to work with Asterisk is a bit of a boggle.

We had considered going the Cisco route.  All things considered, that
has a lot going for it, but the last time I evaluated that solution,
it was expensive and the configuration looked somewhat complicated,
and I wasn't confident I could manage it without assistance.

The other workable solution that I'm aware of seems to involve the
Eicon Diva Server boards, which I've heard work.

We're currently using an Adtran Atlas 550 to convert the BRI to T1 or
PRI or something that Asterisk *can* handle, and this works pretty
well.  There are some caveats, however, such as the fact that we can
not get the Adtran to originate outgoing calls with the second DN on
a BRI line (incoming is just fine, though).

If anyone goes the Cisco route and is willing to share information
on how that worked, and configuration snippets, let me know.

I'm quite happy to share what we've done with anyone who is interested
in our solution.

As for the people who are claiming that BRI is dead, well, not quite.
I had called SBC or Ameritech or whatever they were called that day
several years ago for what appeared to be a loop problem, and had
gotten the "oh I know who you need to talk to" runaround of about
twelve departments.  However, recently, our Adtran 550 had baked
something in its configuration, and we lost one of the BRI's.  Not
suspecting a problem with the 550, having rebooted it and having
eyeballed the config and logs, I dialed with dread the new customer
service number for AT&T (which is the number they hand out for POTS
repair).  I was dumbfounded to navigate the automated system and
then to talk immediately to a gentleman who not only told me that
the line was a BRI, but also that it appeared to be fine but that
they weren't seeing a D channel.  Thinking it might be a fried port
on the Adtran, I reconfigured to a different port, and it worked.
Doh!  So then I cleared the configuration on the old port (verifying
that it *also* looked correct) and re-entered it, and ... it worked.
Double doh!

So, if anything, the support situation for BRI's has improved, at
least for us here.  I expect that the number of new installs is not
at an all-time high or anything.

Stupidity.

Okay, well, many reasons.

It was targetted as a business service, and the pricing models (at least
locally) didn't offer a reasonable residential offering until ... I'm
thinking almost the mid 1990's (1994-1995).  That's when I first recall
hearing about the availability of residential BRI that didn't charge by
the minute, I think.

The telcos had this huge amount of legacy plant installed, much of which
wasn't particularly great copper.  Good enough for voice.  There was also
lots of CO and remote equipment for which BRI simply wasn't available.  I
fondly remember Ameritech running BRI lines out of MILWWI10, using a bunch
of repeaters, because they didn't have the capabilities (or capacity, can't
recall for sure) at MILWWI45, 

(you know what's interesting, Google Maps knows CLLI codes!)

which resulted in about 11 extra miles on a BRI circuit, and I guess it was
much worse in wire miles.  It's useful to remember that the phone company
expects their equipment to be good for decades, and so there's a huge
amount of resistance to upgrading "just for newfangled data services."

Now, I know that there was this huge "vision" in the '60's and '70's of the
possibility of things like videophones, and ISDN might well have been the
ideal platform for delivering something like that, but the flip side is
that the Carterfone decision resulted in a booming non-Ma-Bell CPE business
and Ma Bell mostly realizing that they were getting shut out of that market.

Now, prior to that point, you had a situation where it was Only The Phone
Guy who would bring CPE to your house and hook it up, you might dare to
move the phone line or jack, but usually not.  This meant that a service
that was more complex to provision would still be relatively easy for Ma
Bell to deploy, since it was just training and equipping their techs that
was important.  The end user would have had no idea what the underlying
technology was.

After that point, though, it would have been really hard to sell a
residential BRI, unless you had equipment capable of automatic
configuration, because it's hard enough for Joe Sixpack to plug in a
POTS line correctly as it is.  Configuring more-complex stuff, especially
in the days before nifty little GUI interfaces (which requires electronic
capabilities not really present until recent years) would have been rough.

Despite all this, there was a renaissance with BRI in the 1990's.  We had
reached a point where the electronics were reasonable.  The Internet did
not yet exist for most people, and modem technology was 9600 or 14.4.  As
corporate networking and the Internet exploded, there was a willingness to
pay premium prices for ISDN gear that would allow relatively inexpensive
BRI circuits to attach at speeds far beyond POTS.

Then we saw that fall apart, as speeds increased to 28.8 and then 56K,
and for most users, that was close enough.  DSL was right on the heels of
that, offering greater-than-ISDN speeds.  ISDN BRI was back to dead status
by about 2000.  You can *see* this in terms of CPE devices that supported
ISDN BRI.

In the meantime, the ILEC's began to truly understand the difference
between switched circuit and packet data services.  Many people had been
using ISDN BRI as a faster and more flexible alternative to 56K DDS 
lines, which tended to tie up switch capacity.  More people were ordering
"second lines," and leaving them connected to local ISP's for hours at a
time, which created trunk, network, and switch capacity challenges for
the ILEC's.  This was devastating to the ILEC's, which typically plan
capital expenditures to be good for many years, but in this case, I have
to assume that the ILEC planners knew that Internet would be provided
over circuits other than their switched POTS/DS0's in the near future,
which would dump capacity requirements back down.  They even got smacked
harder than maybe they expected, as some people gave up land lines
entirely, in favor of cell...

In the meantime, many of the major "data" uses that had been envisioned
for ISDN BRI have been done, better, cheaper, on the Internet.
Videophone?  Easy on a PC with speakers, mic, and an Internet connection,
but hopelessly challenging to someone with a POTS or BRI line.  Private
network interconnection?  VPN over Internet.  Etc.

This has meant that BRI has "evolved" towards a way to deliver telephone
network with no loss, or, rather, most of the envisioned benefits are no
longer likely to be exploited via BRI.  So you don't see many BRI lines,
and it is pretty common for those that you do see to be hooked up to a
PBX, automated call ha

A single D/A hop destroys the ability to do 56k.  Successful 56k requires
that there be a single A/D hop at the far end (the user's POTS interface)
and then digital delivery of signal the remainder of the way to the
terminating equipment. (modem -> phone co A/D -> digital to ISP modem
bank).

If you stick an extra D/A (maybe plus A/D) transformation in there, you 
will probably get fairly clean speeds in the upper ranges of 28.8-33.6,
but that'll be it (modem -> phone co A/D -> digital network -> phone co
D/A -> your buddy's modem).  If you're unlucky enough to get some crummy
phone co arrangement where they punt you back and forth from digital to
analog and back to digital within their network, that's even worse.

>From an Asterisk point of view, it's interesting that you can get digital
delivery of the signal, and route the signal around internally digitally,
if you have ISDN.  This means, for example, that our USR Courier I-Modem,

make a 56K connection from most modern cities here in the US, without
wasting an ILEC ISDN BRI line dedicated to that purpose, by having the 
PBX connect an extension to the I-Modem.  I just dial into a general
purpose number, and dial the appropriate extension, and voila, I'm on our
network at "high speed."

This is clearly obvious to you, but I thought I'd expand for the others
who might be reading along and didn't understand the implications of all-
digital.

It may not take a lot of electronics.  However, the sad truth of it all is
that any electronic device produced at low volume tends to be expensive to
produce.  This is largely the result of costs such as retooling, and in
most cases the significantly higher cost of small-run integrated circuits.

For example, a PC board manufacturing house (I'll use the following shop,
no affiliation, as an example, because they have transparent pricing)
http://www.expresspcb.com/ExpressPCBHtm/Specs4LayerStandard.htm
http://www.expresspcb.com/ExpressPCBHtm/Specs4LayerProduction.htm
for a 30 sq in board.  To produce 10 boards would cost $404, or $40/board.
To produce 50 boards would cost $1109, or $22/board.  To produce 1000 
boards would cost $15516, or $15/board.  Even 1000 isn't really a large
run, though.  You're paying premium board rates for small runs, because
the shop has to stop and retool for your run.  I haven't bothered to get
a large-run quote, but I bet you can get that down to well under $10/board
if you're ordering a hundred thousand at a time...

You then have to add on assembly costs, which are typically higher than
the PCB costs.  It could very easily end up costing $50/board *just* for
PCB and assembly, no parts included, for runs in the hundreds of cards
range. 

The problem with telephony stuff, especially in this market, will be that
the demand for a T1(/PRI/etc) interface is going to be very low.  You would
need to be a relatively big shop to be able to buy by the thousand, as even
at one bulk buy per year, that translates to several cards departing 
inventory daily.

I expect that some of the ISDN BRI interfaces are dirt cheap because they're
popular over in Europe.  I've been told that in many places, they're sold in
lieu of a modem.  Once you are moving product in high volumes, the pricing
tends to come down.

It stinks, yes.

The one solution I've heard, on and off again, that works with Asterisk
here in the US is the Eicon Diva cards.

There are other solutions.  Where I am, we're unreasonably close to a 
local radio conglomerate that has a number of high power antennas.  We
found early on that RF interference was a killer, which caused me to run
a lot of our telecom and data wiring in conduit.

Unfortunately, we discovered that POTS lines were a hell of a mess when
connected to anything more complex than a phone or two.  Lots of RF
interference.  Church radio music on Sundays, even.  So, we brought our
lines in on BRI, which we've used for data and voice elsewhere.

Being eternally frustrated with the lack of ISDN support after maybe 2000
here in the US (we have a bunch of interesting ISDN gear from the 90's!),
I set out to see what I could do to interface BRI to Asterisk.  I *didn't*
go the Eicon route, because at the time it was considered relatively
unreliable.

Instead, we picked up an Adtran Atlas 550, which can handle ISDN BRI, PRI,
POTS, etc.  We have been using the Atlas as a translator to convert BRI
to T1, which works moderately well, but we've seen some issues, mostly in
the capabilities of the Adtran (such as an inability to select the desired
SPID/DN for outgoing calls).

The Adtran has some other amazing capabilities, such as providing FXO/FXS
ports, and even ISDN BRI ports for other devices we'd liked hooked into
our PBX.

Despite that, I'd love to see an ISDN BRI solution for the US.  I might
be willing to test the Eicon Diva Server card...  hm.

[asterisk-users] Any chance this is related to fastagi: received mini-frame before full voice frame

2008-08-21 Thread Novak Joe
Hi,
  I have recently been having difficulty with cmd record where calls
are not being recorded.  I would like to know whether it is possible
that my fastagi script is the root cause of the problem.
  I am using a fastagi script written in python to answer the calls,
and the dialogue interaction seems to work fine, the call is
successfully answered, and I can always hear the audio prompts,
however recently I have been seeing a high incidence of failure to
record the user generated audio, which is invariably accompanied by
iax2 debug messages: "received mini-frame before full voice frame".
  Another list user kindly explained to me in a previous message that
this error message means that, if the first full voice frame never
comes through, there is no data on which to base the changes being
conveyed in the mini frames, and thus record doesn't have any way of
knowing what to record.
  My understanding of agi is that it simply passes text commands
back-and-forth between asterisk and the agi/fastagi/eagi script, over
stdin.  This would seem to imply that the record failures I've
described can't be related to the agi script as the actual recording
is not done there anyway.  If possible I'd like to rule out agi as the
culprit categorically in an effort to reduce the problem space a bit.
  Thanks

Thank you very much for this clear explanation of what is going on.
The implication then is that this issue could indeed be having a
significant impact on whether calls are eventually recorded?  I plan
to look into upgrading our distribution, but this appears to be
impacting 1/10 calls coming through our system at the moment so I
wonder if there is some/any way to help make sure that that first full
voice frame gets sent before the miniframes get pushed through?  I
also wonder if there is a point after which the call is lost,
regardless of whether the first full voice frame comes through?  could
other issues like mismatches between the system clocks on the
respective machines also be impacting performance?

thanks a bunch!

2008-08-13 Thread Novak Joe
Hi,
  I tried sending this message a few months back but never lucked into
a response.  I thought I'd try one more time, juicing up the subject
heading a bit, as I am still seeing this behavior intermittently.

  I'm running several asterisk servers in combination with dundi.  The
servers are in different data centers, but other than that they are
running identical copies of the same os image, asterisk configuration,
etc.  One server acts as the trunk and is used to terminate pstn
calls, and pass them on to another server via dundi, which then
answers the call.
  I recently noticed that one of the call-answering servers was
responding and playing back voice prompts fine, but was failing to
record any user generated audio.  After opening up the CLI on this
server and running a test call through it, I noticed reams of the
following warning message any time audio was being played or recorded:
[May 21 20:31:52] WARNING[27346]: chan_iax2.c:8020 socket_process:

  I found the following related post:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2006-January/136982.html

  However this doesn't explain why I should be unable to record
anything.  The issue seems to be related to network activity, and I'm
not seeing it on any other servers.

  A more detailed explanation of what the above warning means/implies,
and how or why it might be preventing recordings would be greatly
appreciated.

  I'm running Asterisk 1.4.11 on debian Etch.

  Cheers

[asterisk-users] Remote Support

2008-07-28 Thread Joe Pukepail
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use to monitor a vendor doing
remote support?

On the windows side things are typically done via screen sharing (
gotoassist.com, bomgar or similar) so at least you can see what the other
end is doing.

In working with linux (especially hardware vendors for asterisk) they want
ssh root access, but I'm nervous about giving someone free range to a box
without any type of monitoring.  What does everyone else do?  (besides not
give them access).  Looking at something like screen sharing or recording,
perhaps keystroke logging.

You have to remember that many "secure" facilities were not designed by
security professionals, but are instead simply areas where a company
decided that they wanted to be secure long after a building was built.
They call a contractor, ask for a wall, and instant "secure" area.  Then
the security company comes in, company says "we want restricted access,"
and voila, you get a nice doorstrike and an RFID reader.

Security is never absolute.  You had a situation that was likely to keep
typical people out of the "secured" area.  Fix those problems and then
there are others.

A good crowbar is effective against a *lot* of door hardware.  What, you
have a nice steel door?  Did you know that you can often bend the door 
a bit and pop the latch?  Oh, you've got a latch protector?  Great, even
more leverage for the crowbar...  etc...

And walls.  Sure, a drywall wall is pretty flimsy stuff, but a sledgehammer
can make pretty decent work out of a cinderblock wall...

You pretty much have to figure out what level of security you actually
want to obtain.  Putting security system wires in conduit is better than
just drilling around with a bellhanger, but would it necessarily have
prevented you from finding a junction box and getting at the magnet wires?

It helps to have a facility built from the ground up to be secure.  And
even many of those don't do many of the things that they could.

You are puzzled by the quality?

I don't know, but from the sounds of the comments, you'd get about just as
much quality out of an actual cigarette lighter, and probably a good bit
more usefulness.

That's really not unusual.  It's not /preferred/, but that's an entirely
different can of worms.

In general, if copper is available into a building, the telco is going to
look very seriously at the possibility of using that.  If the building is
already wired and the copper tests clean, the telco will want to use that.
In most existing situations, that will already be terminated in a can with
lightning suppression and will have been crossed over to RJ21X's that are
going to whatever suites are in the building.

Since the telco will have /no/ /problem/ running the T1 over their outside
plant and up to the can on what is approximately Category 3 wire, and the
T1 signal is going to have been running alongside those same "analog wires"
for probably a few miles, what happens next should be obvious.

Suite 214 wants a T1.  There's already a 25-pair going up there from the
RJ21X.  It's second story, so do you go and spend an {hour, afternoon, 
etc} figuring out how to run fresh wire, or do you notice that only 6 pair 
are in use on the RJ21X, and decide to feed up on the existing cable?

Now, if you're nasty and you don't separate it (typically I see the bottom
used for data) and you don't put redcaps on, yeah, then that is just 
looking for eventual trouble.  And who knows, the wire may be cruddy, so
maybe you still end up doing the separate run.  But it probably works.

I've seen this often enough.  Would I prefer to see new cable run?  Sure.
But we've all done our copper sins.  I've seen a lot of things that are
uglier than that.  Here's one of them:

http://www.sol.net/hallofshame/

(I've always meant to expand that page, but it seems that I never get the
good photos of bad stuff)

Lack of space, lack of need, lack of having another RJ21X in the truck are
just a few other obvious reasons that this might be done.

[asterisk-users] Hangup?

2008-06-29 Thread Joe Carroll
I've got a unique situation and think it may be the lack of the Hangup command 
in the dialplan that is creating the issue.Can anyone elaborate on why it 
is, or is not, important to use hangup in the dialplan.  Presently I don't have 
the first instance of it in my dialplan, however, I see some things in the 
debugging that might be cleaner if I did implement hangup

I have approximately 140 extensions provisioned off this asterisk server and 
about 8 IVRs...So as you might expect, it is quite busy...

Thanks,
-Joe

Er, Asterisk will do this with a TDM400 card or clone.

Expensive ATA though :)

[asterisk-users] Echo on PRI even with H/W echo cancel

2008-06-11 Thread Joe Pukepail
Hello,
I have a PRI coming into a Digium TE122B with hardware echo cancel,
but we are still experiencing echo on the first 10 seconds of a call.
Is there anything that can be done about this?

I have tried contacting digium support, but have not heard back from
them (placed a support incident about a week ago).

I see on digiums website that some of their card have a VPMOCT128
Octasic echo cancel, but the TE122B comes with digiums VPMADT032 echo
canceler.

Is the octastic echo cancel better?  Should I look into a card with
Octastic echo canceler?  I see Sangoma has a single port with T1 with
Octastic echo canceler or would have to move up to the dual span card
to get the Octastic echo cancel on the digium card.

As long as each tenant has its own context you can use the same
numbering plan.  The only thing you need to keep unique are the names
for the SIP devices.  If you want your tenants to be able to call each
other then you would need to set up a special prefix for each tenant.

The first place you may want to look is in the SYSLOG of the TNT,
allowing you to see things such as the ISDN error code along with the
SIP code.  You can try to catch that on the terminal of the TNT, but it
may make more sense to pipe your syslogs out to an external box, if you
aren't doing it already.

JR's suggestion that it may be a limit of the trunk you're using.

check your firewall/nat settings.

If your setup will work for around 5 minutes after you have rebooted the
pap2t then you have to active the nat keep alive and nat mapping service
  in the pap2t.

Re: [asterisk-users] forwarding pots lines

2008-05-23 Thread Joe Carroll
There are a couple of companies out there that make 24 port fxo and fxs boxes. 
If you have some unused  fibers you cout do this very reliably with two channel 
banks...  One with fxs ports and the other with fxo ports and t1 media 
converters.

 The grand stream solution mentioned in an earlier post does 8 ports, you could 
get one 4 port model and one 8 port model of fxs and the same of fxo and  
accomplish your goal rather inexpensively as well.

Depending on the reliability needed (is this a way to talk to a
girlfriend in another country or a mission-critical business use?) I'd
say it's better to pay a small monthly fee to someone like OnSIP.com
and use their centrex.

If it's because you have the phone lines already installed and need to
just use them at certain times, I do think there are FXO devices but
I'm not sure they will help. You wouldn't need two asterisk servers at
any rate but only one. The phones connect (through a router if need
be) to the asterisk at the phone lines + FXO end.

You can use devices called ATAs (Analogue Telephone Adaptors).  They are

[asterisk-users] iax2 received mini frame before first full voice frame

2008-05-21 Thread Novak Joe
Hi,
  I'm running several asterisk servers in combination with dundi.  The
servers are in different data centers, but other than that they are running
identical copies of the same os image, asterisk configuration, etc.  One
server acts as the trunk and is used to terminate pstn calls, and pass them
on to another server via dundi, which then answers the call.
  I recently noticed that one of the call-answering servers was responding
and playing back voice prompts fine, but was failing to record any user
generated audio.  After opening up the CLI on this server and running a test
call through it, I noticed reams of the following warning message any time
audio was being played or recorded:

  I found the following related post:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2006-January/136982.html

  However this doesn't explain why I should be unable to record anything.
The issue seems to be related to network activity, and I'm not seeing it on
any other servers.

  A more detailed explanation of what the above warning means/implies, and
how or why it might be preventing recordings would be greatly appreciated.

  I'm running Asterisk 1.4.11 on debian Etch.

[asterisk-users] T.38 w/ MAX TNT & ASTERISK

2008-05-20 Thread Joe Carroll
We solved our former echo issues...   however, as luck would have it..
Faxing is yet a completely different animal.   We understand that digium 
doesn't really support faxing with asterisk...  HOWEVER...it seems that ATA 
manufacturers and the MAX TNT indicate that fax is supported

Scenario:

TDM/PRIs -->MAX TNT   <-sip-> asterisk <-sip-> ata ->fax

We should note that the network between the ata and the facility with the max 
and asterisk is a managed fiber network in a type of campus environment...  
1-2ms latency end to end tops...

If the ata is reinviting to the MAX TNT shouldn't fax work  with T.38...  
Does anyone have any experience with this configuration ?
Thanks,
-J

[asterisk-users] Error Counters on PRI Circuit

2008-05-20 Thread Joe Pukepail
Is there a way to see error counts on the T1 of a PRI?  Hooked up to
asterisk via a digium TE122.   Looking for something to make sure I'm not
getting any CRC, framing or other errors on the T1.

[asterisk-users] Lucent Max TNT PRI Agg --> * --> SIP DEV (PHONE or ATA) Excessive Echo (only to the sip party)

2008-05-08 Thread Joe Carroll
Hello...
We're attempting to track down an intermittent echo issue.  Our setup is
sipsippri to carriers.  We have less than 2 ms latency on 
the networks (FTTx), totally SIP w/ G711u.  The party hearing the echo is the 
subscriber using sip.  The PSTN users does not hear the echo.

We should be note that there is zero echo when calling sip to sip with or 
without reinvites enabled.

We have several different phones; linksys, polycom, & grandstream (both atas 
and phones).  It's difficult to reproduce the problem regularly so isolation is 
an issue.


Thanks in advance..
-Joe

[asterisk-users] rebooting newer cisco phones

2008-05-02 Thread Joe Pukepail
Does anyone have a solution for remotely getting the newer cisco phones
(7941, 7961, 7970, etc ) to reread their configs (or even rebooting).  I am
running SIP firmware connected to asterisk.

Check-sync doesn't seem to work anymore, I can't login to the phones as root
because I am given a "challenge: password:" prompt.
occasionally I need to make changes to phones at remote locations, only
solution I have now is rebooting the POE switch. Kinda an overkill.

[asterisk-users] DNS Changes never picked up with Asterisk 1.4.18 chan_sip?

2008-03-05 Thread Joe Schmid
Hello,

We're attempting to use Asterisk for distributing calls via SIP in a
large-scale speech recognition/VXML environment.  We currently use DNS SRV
with weights and priorities to instruct VoIP gateways (not Asterisk) to
route calls to pools of servers.  This works extremely well and provides for
load balancing, fail-over, and by setting the TTL low (several minutes) we
can easily take machines out of service for maintenance just by adjusting
the appropriate DNS SRV records.  For business reasons, we now need to
achieve a similar setup using Asterisk instances hosted by a partner of
ours.

We've done a lot of reading on Asterisk and based on that our current
understanding is:

- chan_sip DOES now process DNS SRV weights and priorities (as of 1.4.X) but
only uses the first record (but correctly sorted by priority & weight)
- chan_sip DOES NOT use the dnsmgr for caching/update of DNS records
- Asterisk in general DOES NOT respect DNS TTL values (unclear if that was
addressed in recent versions)

In testing Asterisk 1.4.18, we are running into an even more basic issue --
changes to a host in DNS (with a single DNS SRV record) are never picked up
by Asterisk.  Our simple test scenario is:

- Set SRV record in DNS for hostname X to point to server foo
- Place calls and observe that Asterisk correctly routes call to server foo
- Update SRV record in DNS for hostname X to point to server bar (with TTL
of hostname X originally set to 5 minutes)
- Subsequent calls still go to the original server foo, even after waiting
hours or even days

Asterisk never seems to pick up the changed DNS info.

There are vague references on the web to being able to configure Asterisk
with DNS related settings. ("Unless specifically configured, Asterisk
1.2does not honor DNS Time To Live (TTL)." from
*http://tinyurl.com/2ossv6) *We've tried doing:

[dnsmgr.conf]
enable=yes; enable creation of managed DNS lookups
refreshinterval=300  ; refresh managed DNS lookups every  seconds

But this doesn't work, apparently since chan_sip doesn't use dnsmgr.

We figure that many other people must need to have Asterisk process updated
DNS info and that we must just be missing some configuration.  Is that the
case or is this a fundamental limitation of Asterisk in its current form?

Thanks in advance for the help,
-Joe

P.S. I'm subscribed to the list in digest form so a copy to this e-mail on
replies would be most appreciated.  Thanks!

[asterisk-users] Analog DID

2008-02-13 Thread Joe Pukepail
Does anyone have any suggestions for connecting analog DID trunks?  I have
some small locations that will have 2 analog DID trunks each, the only
solution that I can see will work will be using a channel bank and T1 card,
but it will be close to $1500 to terminate these DID trunks.  Was hoping
someone had some experience using an ATA or TDM card and analog DID trunks.

Rhino Channel Bank - $750

[asterisk-users] ShoreTel <-> Asterisk Integration

2008-01-29 Thread Joe Evans
Does anyone have experience using ShoreTel SIP trunks to integrate an 
Asterisk system?

I am having trouble when the ShoreTel system transfers an incoming call 
from a SIP trunk to the voicemail system. From the SIP traffic, it looks 
like it negotiates a codec correctly, but once the RTP stream starts the 
call drops or there is no audio. I see errors in Asterisk such as:

chan_sip.c:1944 retrans_pkt: Maximum retries exceeded on transmission 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for seqno 104 (Critical Request)

Has anyone run into this before or have any ideas?

Thanks,
Joe

I always forget about Linksys/Sipura phones. Yes they are very nice. I know
there can be some contractual issues when you deal with Linksys/Cisco, but

I do think you'd get better support with Snom/Grandstream, but this is

You get what you pay for.

Snoms are good phones. Grandstreams are also good. I hear Snoms are easier
to get around NAT and the seem like higher quality construction.
Grandstreams are great for cheap and easy set-ups. I remember one guy
telling me he buy up a case and if anything goes wrong with a unit he has a
couple spares to go in its place.

Over all... if you're looking for setting up office phones, Snom, Polycom,
and Aastra look/feel nice.
If you're looking to set up small offices or call centers on the cheap,
Grandstreams are OK.

I personally like Grandstream for home use, but I use Polycom for work, and
I hear good things about Snom.

if that's all they do, then it doesn't sound good.

There is a way to do a system format when they first load up, but the keys
you hold down escapes me at this moment and I seem to remember it took some
searching to find. I'll see if I can track it down.

[asterisk-users] SIP fails to register

2007-12-14 Thread Joe Acquisto
Trying to setup SIP to register with a VOIP provider.  I am behind a firewall 
(IPCOP) with NAT.

Getting this, in CLI with SIP debug on.

Retransmitting #2 (no NAT) to aa.bbb.ccc.ddd:5060:
REGISTER sip:voip-xxx.com SIP/2.0

I suspect there is something, somewhere, where I can tell it the "Contact" 
should in fact be my public IP, not the local IP.

Anyone know?  Or know what else it might be?  I am almost 100% certain my 
credentials are correct.

After correcting my errors, I can receive calls.

Outgoing calls remain non functional, insisting on going out over the ZAP 
channel.

I think I would like to maintain the ZAP channels and use iax on occasion.  How 
about something like pressing *99 (or something), presenting a dial tone (or 
some noise) that would signal to enter the intended number?

I am not getting how to "direct" which channel/trunk to use.

[asterisk-users] Iax and ZAP

2007-12-11 Thread Joe Acquisto
I have a working system with two fxo and two fxs channels.  I recenlty got an 
IAX2 account I would like to use also.

While I have gotten the IAX2 channel to "register", it remains non functional, 
as the incoming calls, go nowhere and the outgoing calls attempt to go out over 
the ZAP channel.  I can see this, via the CLI, with debugs on.

I strongly suspect this is a dial plan/config problem with my setup, but I am 
currently at a loss.  I've found no examples (that make sense) via google.

On incoming calls, I get a "no such context/extension".  I do not have trunk 
defined for IAX. Outgoing did not work when I did, either.

[asterisk-users] Checking Dial Status

2007-12-10 Thread Joe Morsbach
All,

I'm looking for a creative way to do this...

I've got a Polycom 650 as well as a standard cordless phone connected to 
the Zap channel...

My Dialplan in extensions.conf looks like this:

exten => 9007,1,Dial(zap/1r4&SIP/polycom-9007,20,r)
exten => 9007,2,Answer
exten => 9007,3,GoTo(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten => s-NOANSWER,1,Voicemail(9007,u)
exten => s-BUSY,1,Voicemail(9007,b)

What I would like to have happen is that if I have the "Do Not Disturb" 
option enabled on my Polycom 650, I would like the user to get the busy 
voicemail greeting...

It works flawlessly if I do NOT dial the zap/1 channel... It also works 
flawlessly if I enable "Do Not Disturb" on BOTH the SIP and Zap channels 
being dialed.

Basically what I'd like to do is if the SIP channel is Busy, jump 
immediately to busy voice mail greeting... But if the SIP channel is not 
Busy, Dial both the SIP and ZAP channels...

Is there any way to do this correctly and probe my SIP phone before I dial 
any channels?

Thanks

My entire network is behind a firewall, but there is only a switch between

[asterisk-users] Polycom 601 stops ringing

2007-12-07 Thread Joe Acquisto
I have an odd issue, where a polycom 601 stops ringing, or more properly, 
maybe, stops *being* rung, when a call comes in.  Other phones/extensions, 
continue to work fine, they being run at the same time.

My dial plan works fine (?)  seems it will ring properly, right after a reboot. 
 It works fine for outgoing calls at all times.

Hints?

[asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.4.15 sip.conf register

2007-12-02 Thread Joe Morsbach
Hello,

I recently upgraded from Asterisk 1.4.0 to 1.4.15...  I am registering to 
a sip provider in my sip.conf
as below

[general]
register=>user:password:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/extension

Later down in my sip.conf I have the definition for that service provider 
as follows

[serviceprovider]
type=peer
host=x.x.x.x
port=
outboundproxy=t.t.t.t
.
.
.

With asterisk 1.4 it would know to look in the peer definition for the IP 
address information... Now it
appears that asterisk 1.4.15 is trying to do a DNS looking on 
"serviceprovider"... Of course that's
coming back as an unknown host, and it no longer registers.

Any steers as to how I can get asterisk 1.4.15 to look at the peer 
definition for the address info would
be appreciated.

Thanks Much!

[asterisk-users] Sip to ATA?

2007-11-27 Thread Joe Acquisto
Currently running two POTS lines into an asterisk system.  Analog and SIP on 
premises.  Being in the sticks, the POTS service is abysmal for quality, 
especially in the rain.

Recently, cable has become available with VOIP phone.   The cost savings are 
attractive as it can replace several independent services for TV and internet 
(currently satellite).

But, I cannot get much out of them, regarding how the phone service works.  All 
I can get is I plug my existing phones and answering machines into the back of 
the "cable modem" and am good to go.

I am hesitant to believe that I can simply plug my TDM400P (2fxo/2fxs) into 
these (ATA ?) jacks and call it good.

Any insight?  Am I better off ignoring their phone offering and setting myself 
up with an IAX or SIP provider? (and surplus-ing the card).   I would end up 
needing more than their single line offering with a second line at $30/month 
(USD).  Seems that might make more sense

Sorry, did not want to take up more list space.

To quote/snip/paste, from a very recent post (BJ Weschke) (and archives, 
polycom, etc) -:

***
If you've got the files centrally managed, you can update the correct 
tags in sip.cfg to correct the situation.

These are the "correct" settings for regions affected by the new DST regs:

tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.enable="1" 
tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.fixedDayEnable="0" 
tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.start.month="3" 
tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.start.date="8" 
tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.start.time="2" 
tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.start.dayOfWeek="1" 
tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.start.dayOfWeek.lastInMonth="0" 
tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.stop.month="11"

I don't follow.  Sorry.

Now might be a good time to post this, since Tzafrir asked,  it looks very much 
like bits I have seen on the net.  I did see what appeared to be the analog_fax 
part when checking at CLI.

So, I would surmise it detected the FAX and is trying to deal with it, but the 
number derived via LDAPget is hosed?   It just ends up hanging up and not 
dialing any extension.
