RE: [Asterisk-Users] Anybody tried it from India ?.

2005-11-14 Thread Mark Elkins
I can not see that its illegal to have Asterisk in India. The TDM400P
card should work fine - but it may not be approved to be interconnected
to the phone system. (This never stopped me doing similar things).

I'm assuming that its possible to connect a 2-wire phone to the Indian
phone system - ie - if you have ever bought a 2-wire phone from the USA
and got it to work - then there should be no problem. In the UK - BT use
a 3-wire system, the extra wire for ringing a bell... but actually
provide 2-wire to the house. People seem to have little difficulty with
the TDM400 there. I've had no problems all over Africa - you should be
fine.

Asterisk makes a great (cost wise) and highly functional PABX
replacement. This in itself is reason to install Asterisk.

The fact that it does VoIP as well is an additional bonus - just don't
get caught using it?

Up until the beginning of this year, VoIP was illegal in South Africa -
never stopped most people. It is possible for telco's to monitor and
even recognise and record 'voice' on the internet - but they usually
look for common Codecs (u-law, a-law) and probably have better things to
do.

You can get "Fixed" Cell units... basically a Cell Phone which provides a Trunk
line instead of screen and keypad. This looks then like an analogue trunk line.
I believe that there is an Italian PCI card that has 4 cell units built
into it. I believe that such units can also plug into an Ethernet and
run SIP.

or - Wait for the Sony Ericsson P990i cell phone which comes with Wifi -
and stick on a SIP client.. and run wireless.

[Asterisk-Users] URL Dialing from SNOM phone

2005-10-28 Thread Mark Elkins
Couldn't find anything on the lists or in Wiki..

Customer wants to be able to dial complete SIP URL's... from his SNOM
phone.

ie - He "dials" on his phone  "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"  (which is more
difficult than a Number - but not undo-able)

How do I configure my extensions.conf to handle this sort of call?

I do have (which works!)
exten => 312,1,Dial(IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) 
..in extensions.conf

Thoughts
1 - Treat it as a VOIP call, if it fails - Tough.
2 - Need a "Extension" rule like..
  exten => [EMAIL PROTECTED],1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})
  (which does not work)
3 - If it fails, playback "Sorry, the URL you dialled can not be reached

Help anyone?

(I can see this type of call being made more frequently - ie to get my
support department - calling "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" via sip rather than
via e-mail..)

[Asterisk-Users] SNOM Subscribe/Notify

2005-10-04 Thread Mark Elkins
I'm using a SNOM 360 with Ver 4.3 software.
Asterisk is Asterisk CVS-D2005.05.02.22.00.00-05/04/05  (BRI Stuff +
Head)

I've used the wiki info to set up some lines to monitor some internal
extensions.

When the extension is rung - the lamp comes on, when the call is
answered, the lamp goes off..

I was expecting something a little more exciting - like the lamp to
flash when the extension was ringing and for the lamp to go on when the
extension was busy - either incoming or outgoing calls. Am I missing
something here???

Re: [Asterisk-Users] updating display of a hardphone based on agentslogging in

2005-10-03 Thread Mark Elkins
I'm also using SNOM320/360 phones. Ideally - set up one button to toggle
the Agent Status (in/out == On/Off) ???
Kinda make sense if app_devstate (or similar) made it into mainstrean
Asterisk - so line indication lamps could be used at will.

The SNOM320 is so ideal for Call Centres (the Headset control it gives
one) - I'm surprised that there is not a dedicated "Agent Has Logged-in"
icon... :-)

[Asterisk-Users] User authentication and privileges

2005-09-05 Thread Mark Elkins
I want to authenticate a user before he is able to use the phone. I also
want to set his privilege as to where he is allowed to call to...

Preferably, the password should be their VoiceMail password,  (every
extension (or is that user?) can have voicemail defined - even if its
not in use?)

...one should be able to enter the password (variable length) as part of
the dial sequence - eg the number to call is 0113140077 and the password
is 1234 so dial something like *1234*0113140077 (no prompting!) and what
should be written to the Accounts file should rather be the extension
that that password is good for... (effectively - the User). 
This way, using voicemail.conf, users can manage their own passwords.

I've seen some wiki stuff on AGI's that allow one to glean for user
passwords..

If the system is smart (and the user not so), after dialing a trunk that
needs a password and none were provided - then asterisk can prompt for
it.

It would also be cool if certain extensions did not need a password...
(phone in MD's office?, Switchboard, Fax (maybe)) - this needs a flag
against the extension - which could be a Privilege Flag.

Privilege Flag: (suggestion)
0=internal calls (and emergency/911)
1=local calls
2=long distance
3=cellular
4=no barring at all (international)

(Somehow need to Tag the class (privilege level) that a number falls
into)

Then what about an additional field in the voicemail.conf file that
specifies what privilege a person has - ie from a phone with zero
privilege, a user with priv 4 can use his password to make an
international call...

I say "user" rather than "extension" because a user should be able to
call from any extension with their own password - the user has the
restriction - not the extension.

Anyone got anything like this?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Difference between Asterisk and [EMAIL PROTECTED]

2005-07-18 Thread Mark Elkins
My 2c worth...

For the beginner, AAH is great. The PC that you install on will be
totally reformatted / fdisk-ed (assuming single drive - etc).

With AAH 1.3 - the installation "goes to sleep" and sort of finishes
when its Syncing with a Time Server. A reboot at this point seems to do
no harm.

As Asterisk is configured via AMP - you are limited in functionality as
to what AMP can do for you - but one can edit the config files directly
as well for custom configs. (I needed to program an incoming (Fax) zap
line to go to one particular extension)

As it starts - there are a number of dialplan features which are quite
cool, eg Time, Weather, Wakeup-Call, "You extension is..", VoiceMail,
IVR, Do-Not-Disturb, FAX handling.

Sure - these are all things Asterisk can do, but with the default
asterisk download, you start with a pretty clean slate...

My current AAH limitations include:-
a) In IVR, no ability to program "or hold for an operator" timeout for
the DTMF challenged.
b) Support for junghanns cards (or HFC cards)
c) Multi-Company support - Default is one primary IVR

Just did an install with many extensions & 16 lines (4 x TDM400P) - 2 to
Fixed line Cells, 14 to Telco (no "services" except DTMF dialing - its
in East Africa).

In 1.3 - I see... (/etc/asterisk)
zapata_additional.conf  zapata-auto.conf  zapata-auto.conf.bak
zapata.conf  zapata.conf.template
-and-  /etc/zaptel.conf  /etc/zaptel.conf.bak  /etc/zaptel.conf.template

There is still no auto-install for HFC cards though...
The "install-AVMB1ISDN" (install support for AVB B1 ISDN card) does
install some www.junghanns.net stuff but not HFC..
Soon maybe?

Features I'd not ignore

IVR units for PABX's - usually very limited and expensive, with
Asterisk's ability to have multi-level IVR - This can be used as a front
end to a customer ticketing system.

Voice Recording - usually prohibitively expensive (or junk, ie a Tape
Recorder with phone Mic) - ideal to recall what was actually said
between Support staff and Customer

Caller-ID - most analogue phones don't do this, with Asterisk - its
almost a given - which helps identify the customer and give Support an
edge. Can be extended to sent non-paying customers straight to Accounts.

The fact that Asterisk is "soft" and you're trying to sell to an IT
Company..

(Even) Installing [EMAIL PROTECTED] gives the ability to do most of the
above - the Customer should have no issues with IVR Setup, Adding
extensions - etc.

..and it complicated my understanding of how to get ADSL working at the
same time so ADSL filter was installed before the Master...


UK Phones at homes historically had a separate bell - mounted in the
hallway. Phones where then placed where convenient. This allowed one
loud bell (sucking current) and multiple (quieter, less current thirsty)
phones...

To do this, the 2-wire line from the Telco was altered into a three wire
line inside the residence, the job of the 'Master Jack'. This is done
with a capacitor from one of the legs to provide the third wire. Look
inside the 'Master' to confirm... (there might also be a resistor from
the other leg to the new third leg too).

(I can remember playing with a crystal radio set, that needed an earth,
and the instructions saying to use the metal (silver coloured) finger
stop on the rotary dial as an earth - so there may be an earth as a
fourth wire...)

Because of this - many phones sold in the UK will only ring via this
third wire...

I vaguely remember bringing a cordless phone from the UK to South Africa
(where the US 2-wire equipment work fine) and adding a capacitor inside
the phone to make it Ring...

I'm using Junghanns 4 port card. There is also an 8 port card.
Installation is very simple, download a startup image from Junghanns.net
and it does the rest... It works - I've no complaints.

However - you are somewhat reliant on Junghanns.net for all future
changes - etc. I'm running... Asterisk CVS-D2005.05.02.22.00.00-05/04/05

I'd be MUCH more comfortable if somehow Junghanns changes were rolled
into the main stream code... I'd also love to see Digium with a
multi-port BRI-ISDN adaptor for both US and non-US use.

Its also possible to configure the card jumpers (add some power?) and
then plug an ISDN phone into the card.

ps - FAX reception works - as part of asterisk.

[Asterisk-Users] Grandstream GSX-2000 - dead :-(

2005-05-27 Thread Mark Elkins
I have a Grandstream GSX-2000 with ..
Software Version:Program-- 1.0.0.3Bootloader-- 1.0.0.3

I tried to do an HTTP update from the Grand Stream web site...

After half an hour, I recycled power and now its dead... LED's come on
and stay on, screen and buttons are dead. Connectivity to
Grandstream.com was always good - whenever I checked (I downloaded the
"User Manual" in a couple of minutes), the site states five minutes to
load, so waiting more than 30 mins should have been OK, and they do have
this "Please Powercycle" in red print too...

Is there a magic re-incarnation routine ?
(Power on whilst holding down some buttons?, Sprinkling chickens blood?)

I chose an HTTP upgrade over TFTP - as I read that there were potential
issues with TFTP at this firmware level.

I noticed something similar. My Asterisk box just uses FWD:SIP. I have
two hardware capable IAX phones, couldn't get SIP to work on them (NAT
problems) so tried IAX which worked fine from the phones to my box,
but they could not call each other.. The IAX phones are in different
countries/continents on different ADSL services (Parents, Brother - etc)

Assumption - two IAX devices both registered at FWD can not talk to each
other.

ps - how does one set up a Proxy - so machines on foreign NATs can talk?

[Asterisk-Users] ast_yyerror - 'space' in Caller-ID - string comparison

2005-05-12 Thread Mark Elkins
I've some code to manipulate incoming Caller-ID - so its suitable for
replying to...

[sipdef]
exten => s,1,NoOp(FWD SIP: "${CALLERIDNAME}" <${CALLERIDNUM}>)
; Alter incoming calles from pulver - add a '87'
exten => s,2,Gotoif($[${CALLERIDNAME} = ${CALLERIDNUM}]?3:4)
exten => s,3,SetCIDName(87${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => s,4,SetCIDNum(87${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => s,5,Goto(default,s,1)

When Executing the above - and I presume incoming Caller Info looks like
the name is "Mark Elkins" and the Number is "638936"...

The purpose is to prefix the number (only the number) with "87".
Sometimes, incoming CallerID data looks like --> "638936" <638936>
therefore the checking of both "Name" and .

In all fairness to Junghanns, my current release "Asterisk

Someone was busy over the May 1st long weekend.

Hi,
Just tried your app today. I understand everything is intuitive to
use ... but... have you released any sort of manual? Is the source code
available anywhere?

I love the extra's like the Manager Console - but the information is
gives is sometimes a bit out..  (What Extension is
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1' ??) Be nice if the Manager Console could remember
settings (size/location - etc) and hang around even if the 'dial'
interface closed.


Still have not worked how to get rid of GnuMeeting when I click on a
'callto' link. I have not seemed to get the app to come up on a 'tel:'
link either.

Rather than using the PC's phone capability - I'd like to have the
system use my HardPhone - can this be another option? - something to add
to the config menus?

[Asterisk-Users] callto: URL (URI) tag for dialing

2005-04-22 Thread Mark Elkins
I see that there seems to be a 'callto' URL/URI for dialling a phone
number... ie - on my web site's "Contact Page" - I have added the
code...
+27 12 807-0590

There should be some generic way for Mozilla (firefox - etc) to somehow
turn a click on such a link into persuading Asterisk to dial the number
for me and connect it to my SIP hard-phone.

1 - mini application under mozilla to collect the number/sip address,
add in a static local extension (personal settings?) and pass info to a
listener (auto-dialer) on the Asterisk Machine

2 - Auto Dialer dials my extension, then on answer, dials the URL or
phone number. The URL could either be a simple phone number or a full
SIP address??

Anyone done this? ..and care to share?

[Asterisk-Users] PRI: received SETUP message for call that is not a new call, wicked!

2005-04-04 Thread Mark Elkins
Hi list, I'm getting the message...
Apr  4 15:13:09 WARNING[1069]: chan_zap.c:7512 zt_pri_error: PRI:
received SETUP message for call that is not a new call, wicked!!!

This is running Asterisk 1.0.6-BRIstuffed-0.2.0-RC7k.

These messages happen when someone calls from the Telco on a BRI line...
but rather than asterisk simply immediately answering, they just hear
ringing

So really the new call IS a new call - but Asterisk things differently.

Anyone met and/or solved this problem?
This seems to be happening to 1 in 4 of all my calls??? - other calls
are fine.

I am still curious. Which Driver do you use for the HFC card?

It could be: bristuff-0.2.0-RC7k stuff from http://www.junghanns.net/  -
but this locks you into using a particular - non-HEAD version of
Asterisk.. (and missing all the new goodies)

..or something else (please tell..)

I wish there were single, four and eight port ISDN BRI cards that Digium sold
and supported - so I could run whichever version of Asterisk I wanted...

Last time I tried - there were a few problems...

1 - Outbound DTMF - never made it... ie You can not interact with
someone else's IVR (DTMF controlled systems)

2 - Inbound DTMF - Certain voices would be interpreted as DTMF - which
is fine until they sounded like a '#' - and got transfered (some
strange reason - my wife's voice - especially when she got angry)

I believe that there was some sort of patch for (2) but never heard of a
fix for (1)

Has this changed at all???

The application sounds interesting. Any chance you can email more about
what you are actually doing?  (code?) 

It sounds like your problem has nothing to do with mismatching Codec's
or how the DTMF is being sent... etc...

I have an Asterisk installation with BRI and with a premicell attached
to an analogue interface (Premicell=fixed cell phone with analogue
2-wire interface that gives dial tone - like a trunk line)

Perhaps I can then confirm your problem - or help with a solution?

Except that when I've been to the USA - I've needed a 1900Mhz phone -
this is only 900 and 1800...

*GSM INTERFACE
*  GSM output 900MHz: Class 4/5, 2W EGSM
*  GSM output 1800MHz: Class 1, 1W DCS
*  SIM interface: 3V mini SIM


 but look at the website (Hey, it looks like my box!) as the
features are what you are looking for...

I believe Motorola was one of the earlier producers of this type of
device - but would think that most of the manufacturers would have a
similar type of unit. Push the "Telephone access in disaster areas,
where wire-network infrastructure is damaged" point... :-)

No idea. The Unit I have is a locally manufactured device called
Digi-Cell - frmaritz (at) global.co.za is the email address on the box
it came in

Its probably 900Mhz GSM only - in the US - You'll need a 1900Mhz unit???

In South Africa, I have a 4-port ISDN BRI (Euro-ISDN) with bristuff.
Calls to Cell phones are no different to any other call...

I also added a Digium 4-port analogue card - and have a 'PremiCell'
connected to a Trunk line. The PremiCell is a fixed cell device that
gives dial-tone in the same way that a Telcom Trunk line would work -
except there is no copper to he exchange - just a stubby cellphone
antenna.  In South Africa it is MUCH MUCH cheaper to make a Cell to Cell
call than from Telcom to Cell 

I'm surprised that more people do not put down a 'PremiCell' type device
and route all Cell calls out through it...

The approach that I have taken is... 

1 - at each place that I have asterisk, register the users full number
with e164.org (or equivalent)
2 - Make sure I do e.164 lookups as part of the normal process of
placing a call...
3 - If a call comes in via VoIP - alter its CLID so it looks the same as
an incoming telco call - which makes identifying and returning the call
simple.


Effectively - I use the dialling plan from Telco. Each site retains its
'historical' number - which is probably the same as everyone has in
their Rolodex/Diary/PDA (etc) - so there is no customer learning - or
dialing funny access codes - etc If the call does not get through -
my system simply uses the Telco line - as in the old way. If your client
calls anyone else who implements the same rules - they'll get through on
VoIP too... and if I take a phone book, look up your customer and call
the number given - I'll use VoIP too...

The only time that I do not do any number lookups is to 911 or operator
specific numbers... which in South Africa tends to be '10XXX' format.

This works fine for any Asterisk installation that has both traditional
(= fixed connection to telco) and VoIP circuits.

The TDM400P card by itself has no use. You purchase a mix of FXS and FXO
daughter cards (they are coloured Red and Green) which pug into four
available positions on the card. That decides the functionality of the
TDM400 card.

[Asterisk-Users] 1.0.2-BRIstuffed-0.2.0-RC2b and '*8' calls dropping

2005-01-28 Thread Mark Elkins
I'm using Asterisk 1.0.2-BRIstuffed-0.2.0-RC2b - when anyone picks up a
call with '*8' - the call will drop after about 20 or so seconds. Is
this a general problem with Asterisk 1.0.2?

As this is the latest release that it appears Klaus-Peter Junghanns has
for public consumption - is there anything I can patch for just this
problem - or has Klaus-Peter Junghanns (or anyone else) been quietly
busy with a BRIstuffed patch that works against Asterisk Head?

I also notice that I can't seem to re-compile the H323 stuff any more...
with this release...

[Asterisk-Users] Grandstream setup woe and solution

2005-01-27 Thread Mark Elkins
Just added a new Grandstream BT102 to my network. Its running new
firmware (Ver 1.0.5.22 of 2005-01-21). I could NOT get the damn thing to
(SIP) register

Gripe 1: The New Firmware does NOT show the current version of all the
firmware. You have to ask the phone manually with its menu button.

Gripe 2: It does not show '' in the the two password fields... This
is what caught me - I had two browser (tabbed) sessions and was
switching between them - looking for differences... obvious the password
fields now being blank look the same.. I never typed in the
"Authenticate Password:"  

Doing so fixed the problem.

If anyone from Grandstream lurks - can they change this behaviour? - at
least fake some '***' in the password fields...

Asterisk also had me chasing my tail - it never mentioned anything such
as 'SIP Registration password is incorrect' - I got one..

chan_sip.c:7231 handle_request: Failed to authenticate user "Phone Five"
;tag=fjhgkjhgkhjlk

(OK - "failed authentication" - but something about the password would
have been better)

and got lots of...
chan_sip.c:7588 handle_request: Registration from
'' failed for '192.168.0.126'

... which had me "grep"ing around for the word "phone"  (should this
have not been "phone5" ??)

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Grandstream Bugetone 101 & mwi

2005-01-17 Thread Mark Elkins
Curiosity got hold of me. I opened up my BT-10 (and it still works
afterwards..)

Under the keyboard (buttons) are four red LED's that appear to run in
parallel (they all flash at the same time when you put the power on).
These are used to light up the keyboard.

The Display LED (blue in my case) is flashed to indicate that a "Message
is waiting"

There appears to be no other LED's (or light sources) so no button will
ever (or can ever) flash...

In order to get the message button to work - programme it with the
extension number for your voice-mail.  On your BT-100's phone web page -
it looks something like.. 

Voice Mail UserID:[300]   (User ID/extension for 3rd party voice
mail system)  

So if I push the 'Message' button - I effectively dial '300' (ie the
same as picking up the handset and dialing '300').  In my
extensions.conf file - the appropriate line is... 

; 300 = Access Voicemail
; My 'Grandstreams' have a "Message" button - that I have programmed to
dial '300'
; They then pass over their CLID - so get to the correct mailbox
exten => 300,1,VoicemailMain(s${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => 300,2,Hangup

This will contact the Voicemail menu system - passing it the ID of the
phone that is calling it - the 's' is to skip the password
authentication..
Every BT-100 phone is set up in the same way - with the same '300' in
the Message Button field.

I also have the following set...  to **YES**

SUBSCRIBE for MWI:
Yes, send periodical SUBSCRIBE for Message Waiting Indication


So, with reasonably new firmware - the only button that does not seem to
have a function is 'Conference'. The 'Transfer' button is used for
attended (non-blind) transfers (see postings elsewhere).

To add to Doug's reply...

---for people you have called---
1 - Pick up phone (or push 'speakerphone')
2 - Push 'called' - keep pushing it again and again - the displayed
number should change and the location where the time is usually
displayed will also change (increment)...
3 - When you get to the number you wish to call again - push 'send'

For people who have called you - exactly the same - except push the
'callers' button. The trick here is to make sure that the caller-id info
that the phone has saved (the people who have called you) somehow can be
sanely understood by your dial-plan logic..

I believe this works for the last 20 'called' and the last 20 'callers'.

Only flaw in the logic is that it would be nice to  push the
callers/called button - select the appropriate number and then when
pushing either 'send' or 'speakerphone' - activate the speakerphone and
dial the number...

This works fine... Thanks.
Incoming AIX looks like...
[fromaix]
exten => 27128070590,1,GotoIf($[${CALLERIDNUM:0:2} = 27]?2:4)
exten => 27128070590,2,setcallerid(0${CALLERIDNUM:2})
exten => 27128070590,3,Goto(default,s,1)
exten => 27128070590,4,setcallerid(09${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => 27128070590,5,Goto(default,s,1)

... and does the right thing...

Of course - this depends on people making e.164+VoIP calls to me
actually setting their Caller ID according to the format '27128070590' -
ie - No plus signs (as for cell/mobile phones), no '00' (or other access
code for international dialling - just the country dialing code followed
by their whole dialing code...

Default section looks like...
[default]   ; what people will get when they call me.
exten => s,1,NoOp(CALLER=${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => s,2,Answer()

Logic flow is meant to be..
1 - if CallerIDNum starts with '27' - goto line 2 - else goto line 4
2 - Remove the first two digits off the CallerIDNum, replace with '0'
3 - Goto my default section - normal processing
4 - Prepend the CallerIDNum with '09'
5 - Goto my default section - normal processing

Problems - 
The callerIDNum variable does not change :-(  I thought that is what

Replying to myself - I see that the gent at +886288097680 should be
doing something like

[macro-enum-call]
exten => s,1,SetCallerID(27128070590)
exten => s,2,EnumLookup(${ARG2})
...   ie setting his own caller-ID before calling...

 --

Playing with myself again - that is - I called myself - and
got the caller ID of '27128070590'... not quite what I wanted...

In my extensions - I have...
[fromaix]
exten => 27128070590,1,Goto(default,s,1)


..and..
[default]   ; what people will get when they call me.
exten => s,1,NoOp(CALLER=${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => s,2,Answer()
...etc...

This gives me (in the console)

"CALLER=27128070590") in new stack
-- Executing Answer("IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:4569/2", "") in new
stack

- so how do I rewrite the caller id - such that if it starts with '27' -
I change the '27' to a '0' - otherwise prepend it with (South Africa's
international access code) '09' ???

My main phones are all Grandstream's - and I'd like to be able to 
uniformally return a call regardless of how it arrived
OK - so people calling via VoIP can fake (or simply never setup) their
caller ID - but I'm looking for utopia.

[Asterisk-Users] Displaying incoming e.164 callers number - how?

2005-01-04 Thread Mark Elkins
I've got asterisk able to make and receive calls via the Internet via
E164 lookups. If I get such a call - I'd like to display the original
phone number on my phone. In the log is the following - which displayed
'601' on my phone. The caller was +886288097680 - am I getting the wrong
ClID because of my end or the caller end?

"","601","3","default","601","IAX2/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:4569/1","SIP/phone3-99fb","Dial","SIP/phone3|30|tr","2005-01-03

17:02:00",507,507,"ANSWERED","DOCUMENTATION"

Anyone care to call me?

Sequence is, you have a call, push Flash, dial new extension - speak,
push transfer - and you're out of the loop.

I'm expecting to be able to show a couple of other status's - eg:

a) Night Mode (Toggle with an adjacent "Night Mode" Key)
b) Do Not Disturb (Again - Toggle with the adjacent button)
c) Unconditional Forward-To (Toggle with adjacent button)

I see all these as being pretty generic features - somehow interrelated

Surely this is all possible.

[Asterisk-Users] Grandstream GXP-2000

2004-11-12 Thread Mark Elkins
http://www.grandstream.com/VON_Fall_2004_Product_Announce.pdf talks
about the new GXP-2000 - the replacement for the planned BT-102D (which
I was waiting for)

Anyone seen one yet?
Anyone care to say anything about it - price, performance - etc...

...or should I look elsewhere...
Been wanting.. 2x10/100, Power-over-Ethernet, AlphaNumerical Display,
some line indicators & extension buttons so the physical
characteristics are there!

If the software is similar to the BT-101 - then it should work OK?

[Asterisk-Users] H323 without a gatekeeper

2004-11-05 Thread Mark Elkins
Setting up a Gatekeeper can be a pain. After looking at "Speed Dial /
New Context" from Wed, 3 Nov 2004 18:24:31, I added the following bits
into 'extensions.conf'.

Maybe useful to others..

In my incoming default profile - I have...

; Calls from the H323 Extentions
exten => s/205,1,Macro(h323extn,Mark)
exten => s/206,1,Macro(h323extn,Alistair)

-and-

[macro-h323extn]
exten => s,1,Read(ToDial,posix/no2call) ; "please enter the No. to call
followed by #"
exten => s,2,GotoIf($[${LEN(${ToDial})} > 2]?sip,${ToDial},1:3) ;Valid
number length?
exten => s,3,Hangup


On my Planet H323 phone, I have programmed a key so it simply calls
Asterisk - and looks like an external incoming call. Caller-ID from the
phone does a simple (unsecure!) validation (I'm using 205 and 206 on two
phones). I'm using Macro's because I was doing some odd things before.
In the Macro - the LENgth check is to cleanly get rid of unwanted call
attempts. The user-requested number is then simply fed back into the
context I use for my Sip phones (sip).

All this is in extensions.conf

With ISDN4Linux, I defined the variable...
TRUNK=Modem/g1

Its used in an outgoing call as
exten => _0.,1,Dial(${TRUNK}:${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}}||tr)

Note the ':' instead of a '/'
This seems to be used for the i4l driver where as the same line using

Not quite - when someone calls from out of the country (no caller ID) -
then the BT100 tries to display'Trl'  or something like that...

Then I tried the same sort of thing with the 'callers' button and got
stuck by my dialplan... as there is no way of automatically pre-pending
the correct access number for an outside line - or am I missing
something? there is a 'dial-plan-prefix' but I think one needs a
'callers-returndial-prefix'  or hack a dialplan that senses that the
dialed number is too short and prepends with the access number...

going to i4l means... incoming sound sometimes gets interpreted as DTMF
- and when your caller humms a '#' - transfer kicks in... Outgoing DTMF
simply does not work.  (Don't do i4l!)

There is an Update patch for bristuff... look carefully in the download

Dunno - try it and let us all know.

When you eventually get the phone working - will you please share the

I'm also curious what you did to it to break it... power re-cycle whilst

Junghans has promised an update of the software. This was coming 'real
soon' (Like when I say - 'I'll be there in 5 minutes' to the wife). I
suspect it is even sooner now (promises of this last weekend) - so -
sometime soon - and it should work against the current CVS HEAD.

Has anyone got the combination of Grandstream (I think this is

The jist of this is that i4l does not allow outgoing DTMF ???
ie - its broken???

or is this just with the EICON dumb BRI card(s) ???
...and only CAPI for ISDN cards actually works as desired? (ie - with
outgoing DTMF)

(if I could only successfully get the recipe for compiling the CAPI
drivers for the EICON DIVA Dumb (2.02/2.01) cards :)

Let me try again...

If I mix "background" announcements with "SayUnixTime" - then my IVR
menu system breaks - DTMF tones are not recognised.

Is this a Bug?
What is the work around?

My example was...

exten => s,7,Playback(posix-welcome-afterhours) ; "Welcome to
Posix";
"Systems After hours support, Our business hours are Monday"
; "to Friday, 8am to 5pm. The time is now "

[Asterisk-Users] 'background' problem

2004-06-12 Thread Mark Elkins
I have a 'day' and a 'night' mode. In the day mode, I play a
'background' message which is interruptable by the pushing of a DTMF key
- ie - all is normal.

In night mode - I decided to get smarter...

I play two backgrounds with a 'sayunixtime' in between and now DTMF does
nothing - the menu times out to my 'lets get the operator then'...

If I change the three commands to a single 'playback' - everything works
as expected.

Is this because 'sayunixtime' breaks things?
Should I use something else instead of the first 'playback'?
This is with a very recent version of Head CVS.

Code:
exten => s,7,Playback(posix-welcome-afterhours) ; "Welcome to Posix";
"Systems After hours support, Our business hours are Monday"
; "to Friday, 8am to 5pm. The time is now "
exten => s,8,SayUnixTime(||AIMP); A:Day, I:Hours, M:Minutes, P:am/pm
exten => s,9,Playback(posix-welcome-afterhours-try) ; "Please dial 1"
; "for support, ...Blah... or Stay on the line for an operator"
   
Suggestions?

ie - without anyone pushing keys - I hear the music on Hold - as does
the calling party.

Are we somehow managing to sound like the tone for a '#' 
My BT100 phone is set up for DTMF=info

This appears to happens quite randomly.  Suggestions?

I'm also getting quite a few...

.. but am putting that down to running this extension (SIP Phone) over
multiple 802.11 segments - in a semi-hostile environment. (I'm not the
only person using 802.11 - there may be channel clashes)

I have defined my internal extentions under the context [extensions] in
the file 'extensions.conf' - ie...

[extensions]
exten => 201,1,Macro(stdexten,${PMARK},203)
exten => 202,1,Macro(stdexten,${Support3},203)
exten => 203,1,Macro(stdexten,${Admin2},203)
(whatever)

If in voicemail.conf, I add the lines..

[general]
operator=yes; Allow '0 for an operator'
saycid=yes  ; Speak the CLID on playback
; Define the internal contexts for the caller ID reporting function
; so that it says "from extension" for internal calls.
cidinternalcontexts=extensions

... then in a Voicemail from an extension, the message will be read out
"Call from extension 203" - rather than someone that leaves a message
from outside that reads out "Call from 18005556655"


> Also: How/where do I define an Operator extension?

After the normal Voicemail menu system (press 1 for Fred..), I have some
code that if the caller does not push any buttons (they are "DTMF
challenged") - they get put through to my 'operators' phone. I added the
Operator function there.

exten => o,1,Goto(t,1) ; Someone dialed '0' for an operator?

;This is where the user is 'DTMF challenged', so ring the Switchboard
exten => t,1,Playback(posix-tryswitchboard) ;"Lets try the switchboard"
exten => t,2,Macro(stdexten,${Admin2},203)  ; ..is my switchboard
exten => t,3,Hangup()

I tried my own suggestion - the CVS head has been fixed - DTMF no longer
broken. Thanks Mark.

I'd like to think you've got the same problem as me - something in the
new CVS head of the last day or so has stopped DTMF detection (eg - VM
menus don't work). Since I reported "DTMF Broken", there have been a few
updates to CVS as well - maybe its fixed? - perhaps try a 'cvs update
aterisk' and recompile - and let us know

(I'm not sure its a "sip.c" problem - more a generic DTMF detection
problem.)

Use "cvs checkout -r v1-0_stable asterisk" and I expect everything will
also work.

I've done a debug with a working asterisk (V1.0) and the non-working
asterisk. The trace is attached.  :-)(debug - ascii text)

When you say "SIP INFO" - what else are you asking for???
If its one of the 'sip show' commands - which one, and at what instance
of time?

[Asterisk-Users] DTMF broken

2004-05-09 Thread Mark Elkins
Some CVS upgrade in the last day or two has broken the recognition of
DTMF eg in Voicemail. I'm running the latest CVS as of now. I'm getting
the error...

*CLI> -- Executing VoiceMailMain("SIP/phone1-e0dd", "") in new stack
-- Playing 'vm-login' (language 'en')
**Here I push a button**
May  9 18:26:18 WARNING[98311]: chan_sip.c:5027 receive_info: Unable to
retrieve DTMF signal from INFO message from
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

By re-installing an older (cvs checkout -r v1-0_stable asterisk) version
- everything works fine again... thats with NO config changes at all..
Has someone removed some support for the transporting of DTMF (eg,
info?) - I am using... dtmfmode=info in sip.conf with BudgeTone-100's

Sorry folks... seems like a CVS Update did break - removed the file and
re-updated. fine now.

However - this could bit other people too.. in which case - delete the
offending file - and update again (or always use 'cvs checkout' - less
efficient - but..)

[Asterisk-Users] H323 - Gatekeeper - asterisk - SIP config problems

2004-05-08 Thread Mark Elkins
After much reading and fiddling - I have the gnugk GateKeeper running
and can make calls from the H323 phone to the sip phone. Voice works
bi-directionally..
Calling from SIP to H323 gives me a problem...
Both gnuGK and Asterisk are on the same box. Someone said this was OK.
Others said No. I added a second IP (eth0:1) and told gnuGK that was
HOME. How do I lock asterisk to the other (eth0) IP - then I think this
might work or must I put gnuGK on a separate machine?

ps Documentation on the combination of Asterisk, h323 and Gatekeepers is
really well hidden - I ain't seen it anywhere.

In oh323.conf - I have the section...
[register]
context=h323phone
alias=Call from
gwprefix=0
gwprefix=1
gwprefix=2
gwprefix=3
gwprefix=4
gwprefix=5
gwprefix=6
gwprefix=7

1 - [h323phone] in extensions.conf is identical to my [sip] section (for
my internal phones) - seems to work OK.
2 - the 'Call from' appears now with the CLID on the displays of the
H323 handsets - can't I get it to show the users name of the Extension?
3- the gwprefix lists then seems to make asterisk the default gateway
for the numbers dialled that start with [0-7] - so asterisk completes
the H323 handsets call - this seems ugly - and I have not seen anyone
else's config doing anything similar. What dumb thing am I doing?

I also agree.. Using the '#' key is the only way to transfer. I'm
running Software Version: 1.0.4.63

Nothing in the html menu mentions how 'transfer' might work - perhaps
its a blank key waiting to be programmed one day???

[Asterisk-Users] 729 licence on scsi

2004-05-07 Thread Mark Elkins
I Purchased 4 licences for my SCSI only machine. I do have a CDROM -
with a mounted CD. The Registration binary gives me a 'Segmentation
Fault'. Is this like telling me I can't register the licence?

Unfortunately - I only seriously scanned the mailing list after buying
the keys

Seems like the licence insists on using an IDE drive to create some sort
of unique serial number.. Has anyone 'lost' their IDE and had problems?

Who do I talk to now?

As this is the second time I've seen this - let me try.

I presume that the following is your current thoughts

Change to: exten => _7,6,RECORD(/tmp/pageperson${EXTEN:1}:wav)
I have not seen anyone else use a printf '%d' construct anywhere else
- using the extension to be paged should be unique..

then - whereever you have 'RECORDED_FILE' - change it to ..
/tmp/pageperson${EXTEN:1} ??? I'd also kill the '^M'

Might change to   System(/bin/rm /tmp/pageperson${EXTEN:1})

ISDN BRI is two lines - so that makes it £2.50 more per line  - or
£10 a year..?? no need to purchase the BT50 (a caller-ID unit? - at what
cost? you need one per line? and an RS232 interface per unit?)

True - the software is excellent. If they sold an ISDN BRI 4-port card
(like Fritz) - I'd buy it from them. 
No intentions of bad mouthing Digium... but USA != World

Um - Digium wants you to buy their hardware - but there is a CLID
issue.. would it not make more financial sense to insert a dumb ISDN
card (or two), and upgrade your PSTN to ISDN??? Would this not "assist"
Digium in making sure CLID worked in the UK???

[Asterisk-Users] Make an H323 phone act like a SIP ohone

2004-04-21 Thread Mark Elkins
I have some Grandstream BT101 SIP phones.  Work great (so far).
I have some "Planet  VIP-101T" H323 phones... how do I make them
look/feel/act like a SIP phone 

I can dial to them from both Trunk + SIP's

(ie - I've added 'oh323' libraries)

What config do I add so that if I dial the * IP - they then at least act
as an extension?

Ideally I'd like to just pick up the handset, and dial a number - just
like the SIP phones...

Pointers please?

Thanks (to the three replies).
Ended up leaving the cell pattern matching where it was and putting just
the default [def-out] in its own context and 'including' that to the end
of the pattern matching with...
include=> def-out

Little by little - I get to shape asterisk to the way I want it to
work..

[Asterisk-Users] Pattern matching rules for least cost routing

2004-04-20 Thread Mark Elkins
I've got two patterns I want to match on making an outgoing call...
(one day - to do Least Cost Routing for Cell/Mobile calls)
Firstly - I prefer '0' rather than '9' to get an outside line...

Either its a call to a mobile No... (072 -or- 082 -or- 083 -or- 084)
or its just another number to dial...

I added the following... the playback just advises me which 'route' is
being taken  In 'extentions.conf' I have...

;Cell Phone call
exten => _00[78][234].,1,Playback(posix-cellphone)
exten => _00[78][234].,2,Dial(${TRUNK}:${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}})

;Default catch all - just dial it
exten => _0.,1,Playback(posix-defaultroute)
exten => _0.,2,Dial(${TRUNK}:${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}})

No matter what is dialled - I always go out on the 'Default' line.
Swapping order makes no difference. If I comment out the 'default' - it
does match the 'Cell' pattern - and works.

Shouldn't the number I dial match the longest match - not the shortest
match as it seems to be doing? Is there a way to change that logic??

[Asterisk-Users] asterisk demo (was: x100p config)

2004-04-18 Thread Mark Elkins
I think what is missing with asterisk is what I'd call a 'working' demo.
Its real cool getting the 'Welcome to asterisk' demo running...

I think that there should be a 'make basic-plan' that would generate
some well commented '.conf' files that set up a basic working systems
with..

Two phones for Support
Two phones for Sales
Two phones for Accounting
Voice mail for all.
Outgoing group.
Incoming group that does the 'press 1 for sales, 2 for support...'
etc... 

Once I figure it all out - I might try to do it myself. There are some
nice 'Starting Guide' walk-throughs - but no one has put a complete
idiots guide together yet... (for idiots like me).(Yeh - I know - WIP)

Um - I'm probably missing the point entirely - but why are your trunks
not in a group and why are you not then using the group to dial out on?

The latest release of software for Grandstream (dunno if its the same
for all phone??? - but for Product Model: BT100)
is: 
Software Version: Program:1.0.4.55 Bootloader:1.0.0.14 HTML:1.0.0.24

One way to upgrade is set the phone's TFTP up to load from grandstream.
(Line reads...)
TFTP Server: 4.3.153.50 (for remote software upgrade and configuration)

Then reboot. I had to reboot twice in order to update everything.

I notice that the Grandstream phone tries to download from the TFTP
server two interestingly names files...
cfg000b82006e69  -and- cft.txt
The first is cfg + Mac address of my phone.
I'd guess this is could be my phone's config? Anyone know the format
of the file - and how to make a phone dump its config?
Anyone know the format of the cfg.txt file?
Is there a definitive document on this anywere? (I've Searched Google)

[Asterisk-Users] (Newbie) help please?

2004-04-16 Thread Mark Elkins
What I've got...
Software:
  Linux: Slackware 9.1
  Asterisk: out of CVS - so its new.
  isdn4k-utils: to test the ISDN Card

Hardware:
  PII Pentium 400Mhz  (Its a test of concept machine) with 320Kb RAM
  1 x ISDN BRI Card - DIVA EICON (Installed + working)
  2 x Grandstream (Barbie?) BT100 SIP Phones.

What Works..
  I can call from one phone to the other... get read voicemail...
  I can dial from a PSTN phone the BRI Number - and get the * demo
messages

Whats been read..
  Lots.. Andy's Getting Started (www.automated.it/guidetoasterisk.htm)
  and lots from http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+ISDN4Linux and
  I've followed almost every link from www.asterisk.org...


All examples seem to include Digiums hardware :-(

I'm looking for clean, clear examples with a generic ISDN card - which
is my trunk line, and the two SIP phones.

The numbering plan in South Africa is pretty simple
7 digits for local calls
12 digits for long distance

Anyone in S.A. got some example configs to share with?

Currently - I'm stuck with the message..
