Have you tried using bristuff 1v with the qozap driver of 1s? All qozap
versions after 1s had serious problems (which seem to be fixed in soon
to be released 1w). If this does not help, do a pri debug or better yet

[asterisk-users] Snom 360 / firmware 6.5.1 / registration problems with Asterisk

2006-11-24 Thread Koopmann, Jan-Peter
Hi,

we just upgraded from 1.2.10 to 1.2.13 and now encounter strange problems with 
our snom phones (FW 6.2.3 to 6.5.1). Upon phone boot everything works fine. 
Phone registers and asterisk is happy. Soon afterwards the registration is lost 
however. Sometimes after a few minutes the phone reregisters, sometimes not. 
This only seems to happen on the first configured line. Switching back to 
1.2.10 solved the problem. What changed between those to versions? Maybe a new 
setting on the snoms we have to take care of?

Funny thing: I set defaultexpiry=60 and told the phone to use 1min as well. 
After the phone registered I watched the expiry counter with sip show peer. It 
counted backwards from 60 to about 40. Then it jumped to 70, counted to 0 and 
the phone was gone. This is somewhat reproducable. And it simply does not look 
right...

Any ideas?


Kind regards,
  JP

RE: [asterisk-users] CDR question with SIP/IAX trunks

2006-09-15 Thread Koopmann, Jan-Peter
Ok... I got it. Someone changed the CDRs to reflect CALLERID(ANI) instead of 
CALLERID(number) in 1.2.10. According to the release notes this was taken back 
in 1.2.12. I do not know why this was not done for IAX as well so it would have 
been consistent at least but well... 


I am either going to set ANI now or upgrade to 1.2.12... :-)

Sorry for replying to my own post: I just switch the connection from Asterisk A 
to Asterisk B from SIP to IAX without changing anything else (dialplans on both 
system are the same). Now the correct callerID is logged. The behaviour changed 
from 1.2.9 to 1.2.10 I suppose since this worked without problems in August. 
After my switch to the new version, this started going wrong...

[asterisk-users] CDR question with SIP/IAX trunks

2006-09-15 Thread Koopmann, Jan-Peter
Hi,

scenario:

Call comes in via ISDN BRI on Asterisk A. Callerid (set by zapata) is let's say 
0151123456789. In the incoming context I prepend a 0 to that callerid. My snom 
correctly displays 00151123456789. The call is also "forwarted" to Asterisk B. 
On the incoming context of Asterisk B I prepend yet another prefix 98. The 
callerid now is 9800151123456789 which is correctly displayed on the SNOM on 
Asterisk B. So far so good.

The CDR on Asterisk B logs the callerid 001511234567890 though and ignores the 
prepended 98. Any ideas why?

Kind regards,

If both phones enter the dialplan the same way and one phone does work then it 
should not be a problem with the dialplan or with the way Asterisk is doing the 
match. You pointed that out yourself. AFAIK there is no overlapping in the 
dialplan. Either the phone (when dialing, doing a SIP transfer etc.) or 
Asterisk (when doing an attended/unattended transfer) is waiting the specified 
time for more digits. If no other number is received it then feeds the received 
number in the dialplan. 

So either your phone is just transmitting 601, Asterisk only understands 601 or 
you do have a problem with your dialplan. The only other option would be a 
general dialplan bug which is not too likely since most of us would have run 
into the exact same problem.

What do debugs on the Asterisk show you? Do a SIP debug etc. Are you using 
inband or outband DTMF?

Without having all necessary information that is hard to say. Maybe one phone

If we are talking about the same context and same way of dialing: True.

I somehow had the impression that you are using the transfer button on the SNOM 
which would tell the SNOM to transfer the call. You are obviously talking about 
attended/unattended transfer via Asterisk only, correct? Then ignore my 
suggestion.

> If it is a sequence of "tones", 

Well... If you are using inband DTMF: correct. Otherwise DTMF may correspond to 
SIP messages as well but let's not get into that. I suppose you are using 
inband DTMF and G.711?

If the dialplan is not responsible obviously the phones are behaving 
differently. Maybe the DTMF sequence is not transmitted correctly but on the 
other hand I am using SNOMs with inband DTMF without any problems. Maybe the 
phone (as others suggested) is doing some number/pattern matching magic which 
you have to fiddle with.

The default setup should not be a problem with SNOMs (at least I never read 
anything about it) but have a look at the features.conf options.

But a lot of exclamationsmarks. :-) Just kidding.

As others pointed out: We (at least I) would need the entire picture (the 
relevant parts of your dialplan etc.) to really help you here.

Because the transfer button on the SNOM is using a totally different mechanism 
than sending # to Asterisk. On your snom configuration (like ours) the phone 
does not start to create/send a SIP message until you hit "OK". At that time 
the entire number is there and a complete SIP transfer is created. Cool down a 
bit. The problem you are having is most probably just a dialplan problem. It 
takes some time and experience to get those things right. No need to yell 
here...

Consider yourself my hero of the day! That looks VERY promising. It does not

Dial(SIP/phone_200&Zap/g2/13,,M(getchannel))

will return either phone_200 or g2/13 but I will find a solution for that as

1.2.9.1 bristuffed and no it does not seem to work. It seems to mixup src and 
dst channel:

The call came from another extension and another context. Therefore the

Does not work for zapata BRI/PRI combinations. If I call Zap/g1/43 e.g. and 
group 1 is span 1 and 2, dstchannel will be something like Zap/1-1 or Zap/2-1. 
Imagine

Dial(Zap/g1/43&Zap/g1/44)

A simple Zap/1-1 in dstchannel will tell you nothing... We are using dstchannel 
for IAX/SIP calls though so you suggestion is of course valid. With the

The problem is this:

exten => 43,1,Dial(SIP/phone_1&Zap/g1/43)

I need to find out who picked up the call not who was originally called. 
${EXTEN} will always contain 43 in this scenario. It will not help you in 
pickup or delayed dial scenarios in which phone A rings 10 seconds and after 
that phone B and phone C start ringing as well. We need to see if the customer 
acutally spoke to user A, B or C regardless of who was called originally.

Use a local channel. Have a look at voip-wiki cmd Dial. There should be an 
example there. Basically you create a local channel in your dialplan that first 
waits for x seconds and then dials the second extension. Then you dial you 
first extension and the local channel simultaneously.

I would be surprised to learn that the Snom is actively doing traffic 
management itself. Traffic managment must be done at the bottleneck to be 
halfway successful. Let's assume you are doing a download and you snom would do 
traffic management giving itself priority. What if your co-worker is doing a 
huge download? How should your snom know and throttle his download? No way.

What _EXACTLY_ are you trying to accomplish? There is no simply QoS switch on a 
Snom 360 that will manage things for you. AFAIK all you can do is tell the 
phone (or * or whatever) what TOS bits to use (or DIFFSERV). It is the task of 
the equipment managing the bottleneck (firewall, router whatever) to use this 
information and manage your traffic accordingly.

[asterisk-users] CDR dest question

2006-07-27 Thread Koopmann, Jan-Peter
Hi,

we are having some trouble with CDR records. Example:

Case 1: Customer 12345 calls extension 10. Extension 20 takes the call
using Pickup (e.g. *810). I now have two CDRs:

1: 12345 -> 10
2: 20 -> *810

I could live with the second CDR but the first gives the impression as
if 12345 was talking to 10 while in real life he/she was talking to 20.
How can I fix this?


Case 2: We are using Dial commands with several channels e.g.
Dial(Zap/10&Zap/20). I cannot see what channel (and therefore the
associated default extension with that channel) picked up the call. Is
there a way to fix this?

What kind of box? E.g. 50 concurrent calls on a small VIA might be a problem. 
Do you plan to have the calls go through Asterisk or use it only to connect the 
SIP endpoints? Are you planning on monitoring/recording calls?

You are talking about concurrent calls?

Maybe the article Michiel pointed out helps you still the overall voice quality

No. Exchange does not honour "Precedence" headers. It has some funky way of 
determining what is a mailing list and what is not. It does not work very well 
and it has (or had) to be enabled via a registry key. If you don't do this,

The drivers for their BRI/PRI cards are totally independant from the

problems whatsoever.

Bristuff will help anyway. You can disable echo can and modulations
(rx/txgain) on a per call basis which is very important for faxing and
bridged call faxing.

Never used either card myself but Sangoma is supposed to have the by far

Look in the archives. Many people claim they had echo problems they were not

Why would you want to do that? Sorry if I missed the start of the problem
but qozap is what you want to use with your Junghanns card (at least if you
want to stay with zaptel/libpri).

No. I would use zaphfc only for cheap 1 BRI HFC cards. All Quadro or Octo
BRI cards I know of use their own drivers and need them! Note that the HFC
chipsets differ on those cards and in order to use the features of the more
complex HFC chipset on Quadro/OctoBRIs I assume you will have to stick with
qozap. 

Especially when it comes to bridging calls between BRI interfaces or even
cards (I think this will be part of one of the next driver versions from
Junghanns).

[Asterisk-Users] Speed up dial using #?

2006-03-24 Thread Koopmann, Jan-Peter
Hi,

since we do not have a nice common numbering plan like (XXX)  XXX for
national phone numbers here in Germany, the dialplans usually contain lines
like this

exten => _0X.,1,NoOp(Dial outwards etc.)

If you use such context with overlap dial (DISA, ZAP), it takes a while for
Asterisk to recognize that the number dialed is actually complete and can be
processed. I understand why this is the case and this is a common problem
not only for Asterisk. AVM folks are used to simply add a "#" after the last
digit to let the Fritz!Box know that the number is now complete and the
Fritzbox starts to dial the number immediatly.

Is there a way to do something similar in Asterisk?


Kind regards,
  JP

Not all SOX versions support mp3. Some distros (at least Suse) compile sox
without mp3 support. Either compile your own version with mp3 or convert the

[Asterisk-Users] CDR problem with TAPI

2006-03-21 Thread Koopmann, Jan-Peter
Hi,

we just noticed a strange CDR problem. We are using individual phone numbers
for all our SIP phones. During dialout we do a database lookup in order to
set the correct callerid (e.g. phone has number 100 but in external calls
this should be displayed as CID -20). 

This works like a charm and the CDRs look correct. When we start a call
using TAPI (e.g. AstTapi) the call setup is a bit different: I start the
call, my phone (100) rings, I fetch the call and Asterisk dials the intended
number. In the LOG I can see that the callerID is again set correctly to 20.
But the CDR now does not show from 20 to 1234567 but from 100 to 1234567
ignoring the Set(CALLERID(number)=20) completly.

Bug? Feature?


Kind regards,

Are we still talking about people attending MeetMe conferences with laptops

Personally I doubt that a 64ms echo can will help you with this issue. I
have not yet measured this but am willing to bet that the echo produced by
such a speaker/mic setup will exceed 64 and even 128ms. Perhaps you might
want to record a test and have a look at the WAV file to at least get an
idea of how long the echo really is before you invest in any sort of echo
can hardware. You might very well find out that your only option are
headets.

What is this thread all about? Is Asterisk "enterprise class"? The answer is
obvious: It depends on your definition of "enterprise class".

If you definition includes things like "RTP in/out traffic on multiple
interfaces must work" then the answer is no.

If you definition is somewhere along the line "can be used in most
enterprises without problems" then the answer is yes.


If you need a feature you at least have the possibility to code it yourself
(yes, source code). Avaya&Co give you the opportunity to hand in a feature
request but nothing more. Unless you pay for the feature they will probably
not implement it and you have no way of doing so yourself. 


Asterisk does not really meet my personal definition of "enterprise class"
but since there is no commonly accepted definition in the first place, why
trust Digiums words on the website at all? I usually do not trust any
marketing phrase like that no matter what the product is. Try Asterisk
yourself and if your decision is that you cannot use it, then don't! But
please stop getting on peoples nerves bashing on the term "enterprise
class". It will not get you or us anywhere.

If you are not satisfied with what Asterisk can achieve you have plenty of
other choices. Feel free to use them. Feel free to contribute to the
project. Constructive criticism is wanted (at least in most of the cases
this seems to be true even though there is room for improvement, agreed).
Currently you are not helping at all. Annoying is a term that comes to mind
though...

I second that. Regarding the bounty: Once someone can at least make an
educated guess as to how much this improvement would cost and if there
is some sort of guarantee that this functionality will make it to
Asterisk soon and not longer in SVN for several months, I am sure there
are enough people kicking in a few bucks to make this happen.

If you are using bristuff you could use the m option

Looks like the way to go. I hope I will find time to wake SNOM regarding
this support request. :-)

Unless I have terribly misunderstood that macro, that is basically the
same thing I am doing now, is it not? Simply transfer the customer to a
conference room (I might have a look into the automatically determined
conf room number), then transfer all collegues in there as well and
finally jump in myself. It is however not quite what I described in step
3.

Hi Tony,

> Look at the option 'G(context^exten^pri)' in the Dial application.

Thanks for the hint but I am not sure if this will help me. Either I am
too blind to see the solution or I stated the question in an unclear
way. :-) What I want is this:

1. Customer calls me or I call customer.
2. In the middle of the call I decide to get an additional collegues in
the call.

Usually I would put the first call on hold, call the collegue and then
press the conference button on my SNOM 360. Unfortunatly there seems to
be a problem with the SNOMs and Asterisk 1.2.x since audio on those
conferences get distorted after a few seconds. Therefore I need a
substitution for this using MeetMe. I thought about this:

3. I transfer the call to my "personal" MeetMe room. In this step I
would like not only the customer but also me to be connected to the
MeetMe room automatically. Basically I can continue to chat with the
customer without him noticing anything.

4. I now put the call on hold and call the collegue. If he wants to join
I simply transfer him to the room as well and can continue to do so with
other collegues. In order to return to the conference myself I now do
not need to call the conference number myself but simply return to the
call created in step 3.


With the exception of step 3 everything seems easy. How can I solve this
with the G-option?

Yep found that but as you said it disables all sounds.

Can't be too hard. I will have a look at the code an provide a patch.

Since I want this for usual conferences this is not an option I guess.

[Asterisk-Users] MeetMe Dialplan question

2006-01-21 Thread Koopmann, Jan-Peter
Hi,

is the following possible? I would like to transfer a call to my
"personal" MeetMe conference room and get transferred there
automatically as well. Currently I can transfer the call to the
conference, have to hangup and then call the conference number myself. I
would love to have this in one quick function.

Moreover is there a way to disable the "You are currently the only
person in this conference"  prompt for the first user? I know how to
enable/disable this for the following users but not for the first user.

Thanks in advance,
  JP

If you are using bristuff add the m option like this:

Dial(Zap/g1m/numbertodial)

This will turn off the modulation (rxgain/txgain) and should (!) turn of
the echo cancellation but I am not sure about this.

I know. It sounds crazy. Trust me though. Somehow the original does not work. 
This fix is from the bristuff developer himself and it does work.

[Asterisk-Users] How to find out if a new voicemail exists

2006-01-17 Thread Koopmann, Jan-Peter
Hi,

I would like to see if during a call a new voicemail was recorded. I want to 
send a SMS to mobile phones if someone recorded a message on our voicemail 
system.

I can use VMCOUNT to see if there are new messages in the Inbox but this will 
result in new SMS being sent even if the caller hangs up during the 
Voicemailpromt, at least if there are still unread/unheard messages in the 
inbox.

Is there some option or variable I missed or is this a feature request?

Kind regards,

Or use Pickup() (or Dpickup if you are using bristuff):

Then you will not need callgroups.

Please recheck: This happens on outgoing calls only, correct? On inbound
calls rxgain/txgain work? There is a bug in current bristuff: Somwhere
around line 1928 you should find a few lines regarding gain. Change them
to look like this:

if (IS_DIGITAL(ast->transfercapability)) {
set_actual_gain(p->subs[SUB_REAL].zfd, 0, 0, 0, p->law);
} else { 
set_actual_gain(p->subs[SUB_REAL].zfd, 0, p->rxgain,
p->txgain, p->law);
}

Recompile and things will start working on outgoing calls as well.

My point exactly.

It shows (T) in iax2 show so I am pretty sure. Timestamps are enabled as well.

G.711 alaw and yes the same for IAX and SIP.

I strongly doubt it. Our firewall is but only regarding to opening the correct

Happens with one call.

No change.

Look at the CHANGES. I was the one who convinced kapjeod to put that patch in 
the current bristuff distribution. So yes: It is in bristuff as of 1F:

0.3.0-PRE-1f
- THIS IS GETTING CLOSER TO A STABLE RELEASE, USE IN PRODUCTION AT YOUR OWN 
RISK!
- merged patch for bug 5697 (meetme)
- merged patch for bug 5374 (asynchronous generation of outgoing frames)
- _finally_ fixed "sending-nonRFCcompliant-SIP-NOTIFYs" bug (asterisk, 
extension states)
- some debug output clean ups in libpri

At least none that would help you. See

and put your requests there please. There are a few things that need to be done:

1. Ensure that AOC values survive channel changes.
2. Ensure that AOC information can be retrieved/saved in the dialplan/cdr.

[Asterisk-Users] rxgain/txgain test numbers in Germany?

Hi,

does anyone have test numbers in Germany that would allow me to tune my
rxgain/txgain settings? I know there are numbers provided by other
providers in UK e.g. but have yet failed to find a number in Germany
(esp. by Deutsche Telekom).

[Asterisk-Users] IAX voice distortion with full upload channel / SIP ok

2006-01-14 Thread Koopmann, Jan-Peter
Hi,

this is the scenario:

One * is placed in a central location with more than enough up/down
bandwidth. One * is placed behind a DSL 3000/384. Both * are linked via
IAX trunking. Everything is fine until the upload channel of the remote
site is filled with a download, then heavy voice distortion starts. Well
of course this is expected. So I fooled around with HFSC QoS scheduling
on the remote site Linux machine. The scheduling seems to work as the
TOS marked traffic is put in the correct queue and the upload bandwith
for other applications is going down.

BUT: The voice quality problems definatly stay when using IAX. The funny
part: Doing the same with SIP shows no big problems. SIP calls to
T-Online work nicely and even if I change the * <-> * link from IAX to
SIP everything is fine even with full up-/downloads on the remote DSL
connection.

My conclusion would be that this depends on the IAX implementation
somehow. I tried different settings for jitterbuffer, trunk and
trunktimestamp all with the same result. This currently means we go back
to SIP for *<->* linkage.

Any ideas? If I should rather post this over in -dev please let me know!
