Re: [Asterisk-Users] Sprint Nextel sueing over VoIP patents

2005-10-05 Thread Michael D Schelin




Why is it you have to put down the United States? Sprint is a U.S.
Company. Vonage a U.S. Company. Digium a U.S. Company. What in the
heck does it have to do with you? Even if Vonage is tied up in court
the rest of the world doesn't care. VOIP will live on. We are not sue
happy, This is big business 101. Sprint wants Vonage. This is a way to
own them, grab their market, and muck up the rest of the telcos..
There is more here than meets the eye. We'll all have to wait and see
what happens. But don't put us down, There are many great people living
and working here including the creators of Asterisk.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on windows

2005-10-02 Thread Michael D Schelin






Good explanation Rich. Unix was built for the riggers of the Telecomm
industry. You won't find Windows running the PSTN. Unix and Linux are
used where their needed for real time processing and the highest
reliably. Windows is a productively OS that is easy to use for non
technical people. I use both as do many of us. Each has there
purpose. 

Rich Adamson wrote:

  Any of the more current Win32 systems can be programmed to handle near
real-time events (eg, sip, rtp) just like linux, bsd, and other O/S's.
Obviously, Call Manager is one such system. It's really not an O/S
religious war/discussion, but rather a lack of knowledge (on any O/S
that a poster might not be familiar with) on how to design/implement 
it in code.

With that said, porting the low level drivers (zaptel, wctdm, etc) from
linux to Win32 is no where near a trevial task, and would basically
involve a complete rewrite of such code. Since there are very few
people (maybe one or two) that truly understand _all_ the interworkings 
of the linux-zaptel drivers, and, I venture to guess those same people
are not even remotely cognizant (no offense intended at all) of how
to write Win32 drivers, don't look for asterisk to be fully ported
to the Win32 environment any time soon. As far as I'm concerned, there
isn't any real justification to do so either.

A pbx is intended to be a near real-time system and as such should not
have programmers/technicians mucking with it in a production environment.
That also suggests that any form of GUI interface that is resident in
pbx s/w is not only not required, but not desirable as it will lead to
someone mucking with it and impacting availability. Running a GUI
interface via a manager (cti or whatever) interface that is not part of
the real-time pbx environment certainly is doable and has been done on
lots of pbx and central office switches over the years regardless of 
what the underlying O/S happens to be on the switch.

Those companies that have implemented near real-time systems have probably
questioned their choice of O/S years after deploying production systems,
but that's perfect 20-20 hindsight.

Cisco (as only one example) tends to purchase the majority of their 
non-core products from other companies (or purchase the entire company), 
and in a fair number of cases, will attempt to enhance/port that product 
to something different generating significantly more negatives then if
they would have left the product alone. I'd be one that would certainly
stay away from the port of CCM on another O/S for at least a year.

Rich


  
  
been following this for a while, just thought I would add a bit to the 
debate, but doesn't the Cisco system (Call Manager?) run on an Windows 
2000 based server - if it was that bad why would Cisco choose to run it? 
Also 3Com use NT/2000 to run the H323 gateway. Admittedly the call 
processor runs on VXWorks but to cross the boundary of proprietary 3com 
and rest of world - they jump onto windows.

Curiously
Wayne.
ps I don't know a great deal about the cisco system - its more hearsay 
so please jump in on :)

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and RTP streams

2005-10-01 Thread Michael D Schelin




Sherwood, I have never known the RTP audio to be on only one port in
sip. I believe it's always on 2. The one way audio is always a
nat/firewall problem in sip.

Sherwood McGowan wrote:

  
  
  Guys,
I've been poking around trying to find a good answer for this via
voip-info, google, etc... Haven't found anything that helps, so maybe
you mates could.
  
  A
lot of my customers are using Linksys UAs (router/ATA PAP2) and some
using Sipura SPA-2002s. Every once in a while, the customer will get
one-way audio. I've read that this is commonly caused by the outgoing
RTP port not being the same as the incoming RTP port. A lot of other
devices (I found info on forcing Xten to do it) can be forced to use
the same port for both, but these devices don't have an option (that
I've been able to find, even in the provisioning configs) to do this.
So, my question is two-fold:
  
  1.
Can Asterisk be told to send the RTP stream for incoming and outgoing
always on the same set of ports?
  2.
Does anyone know something that I'm missing for the above mentioned
devices? They're all the 2 line version of the ATA and/or router
configs (wireless and wired)
  
  Thank
you all in advance for your thoughts and comments. I apologize in
advance if I missed something that was publicly available.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] change codec based on callerid (sip/iax)

The only solution I can think of on this is to use something like ser

to a different account on the asterisk box based on caller id (ie ser
makes a choice which account to use).  codecs then would be negotiated
normally at connect time.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] civil emergency comms: Asterisk + HAM

2005-09-11 Thread Michael D Schelin




Don, I agree with you on many fronts. I come from a radio background
and here in southern cal unless we fall into the sea nothing will take
out all of the communications here including ham because we are not in
low lying flat land and were too diversified, over 150 miles and as
many mountain top sites. 
BUT,
let me tell you about how bad the southern CA. radio site owners are
becoming. We had a 4 day outage at a very large site where one of my
radios is located. None of them care anymore about backup power. This
happened this past week. We took up our own Generator because the site
owner (a national site company) won't maintain an old one. My friend
(a microwave isp ) fixed the site owners by adding oil and a new
battery. That will take us out!

  Time and time again, emergency
action drills take place in cities to target where their weaknesses are
in "crisis" handling. Usually they involve planes crashing or
explosions (mock of course). Obviously they were never prepared for
this sort of disaster in their recovery plan. I've participated in a
few ARES/RACES drills and have to say that much could be done to
improve upon the "HAM" infrastructure.
  
  Most of the time, communications
is coordinated through 1 repeater system. When this repeater goes
down, of course people would switch comms to another but in a case like
this, where all the repeater systems go down except for maybe one,
there needs to be a better plan.
  
  In Amateur Satellite Service,
these orbiting "Repeaters" employ a system called RUDAK where a chunk
of spectrum is repeated. Obviously this isn't feasible in terrestrial
repeaters but they dohave the ability to turn off radios and switch
bands at will depending on operating conditions. With software
controlled radio and Asterisk, the repeater system could be made to be
more resilient to disaster by linking to other repeater systems via
radio where it could connect outward. 
  
  If you figure the overhead of a
repeater's transmitter and receiver plus the controller, replaceing the
controller with an asterisk based unit (integration) would make more
sense as it would give the repeater system much more capabilities in
the same footprint and power. Additionally, these repeater systems are
located on hilltops with other radio systems so they should have
emergency power available (if you've ever been to a hilltop repeater
site, you'll know what I mean). 
  
  I think the biggest thing that
hurts ham radio's ability to react to a crisis is the lack of equipment
and operators. Most of the traffic we pass is "Health and Welfare"
with "Logistics" being the second to it. What defeats this is that in
a disaster where local/high band long haul capabilities are diminished,
is simply the one repeater that is functional because everything is
squeezed onto one VHF/UHF repeater.
  
  Where I could see thing being
improved? Installation of 802.11b/g WLAN under Part 97. It would
allow for more users into the system, there are less hardware and power
components and allows the system to be dynamically configured.
Asterisk could play a huge role then as it's made for IP based traffic
and could re-route in a split second.

Building a network of * servers and Wi-Fi links is all very well but
how are you going to power them?

  
  
These are excellent points. I have a few interesting suggestions
here The first is that the only obstacle to any sort of
longer-range point to point line is merely power. This is true whether
you are talking HAM or fiberoptics. Note that if you have the power,
it would take disruption of the physical line to disrupt a fiber line.
Note that DirectNIC in New Orleans remained operational without *any*
downtime or loss of connectivity with the rest of the world.
  
  
The suggestion that I have is for various areas to have dedicated civil
emergency com units with strategic reserves of fuel (3-4 weeks worth),
battery backups, etc. These units would have links (fiber, microwave,
and/or satellite, better to pick 2 of 3) to areas outside expected
disaster zones. Asterisk could then run across these links.
(Sattelite links would best be POTS-type).
  
  
The point is to a disaster-tolerant communications infrastructure which
could then be used to to provide additional communications services to
the relief workers. With various point to point wireless capabilities,
it might be possible to use them to provide cell service to relief
workers etc through the installation of GSM microcells (which could be
brought in after the fact).
  
  
See where I am going?
  
  
  
Generators require fuel which is always in short supply and batteries
die out quickly. Adding Ham Radio to the picture doesn't really add
much when you are trying to do something like a * network. The radio
gear just isn't designed to integrate with the * server.


Ham radio is being used down in the Katrina affected area with great
results for both emergency and heath/welfare related traffic. They are
using both "phone" (that's when one talks in to the radio) and data
modes and can be heard all over the 75 and 40 meter bands here in the
US.


Power for most of these stations comes from batteries they loot (with
Police approval) from abandoned cars or a combo of solar and batteries.
Many stations are only hear on the air after dark so that they can put
as much sunlight into their batteries as possible.


Yes, electricity is available in some places either all day or across
the peak hours (allowing the workmen to restore power to other areas).


Yes, there are radio to phone interconnects but these really are a
single phone to a single radio. Think of it as a cordless phone in that
the radio user can be anywhere within reach of the base station.


Such technologies, whilst legal here in the US, may not be legal
elsewhere. When last at home (UK) I was not able to connect my radio to
the phone system by law (this may have changed recently - not been home
for 8 years). Many countries have such restrictions and as we saw
during the Tsunami, rules don't get relaxed just because there's a
panic on.


Without question a phone system would be much better than a radio
station. As such I'll be taking a portable * server I've built, all the
IP hard phones I can find and 5 DirectTV style Internet systems.

  
  
How do IP hardphones work with satellite internet? I always thought
people had real trouble getting them to work at all.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Channalized T1 and PRI with Asterisk

2005-09-05 Thread Michael D Schelin

Is a non-PRI T1 significantly harder to configure with Asterisk?

I don't think so. I moved to SS7 signaling and convert down to other 
formats. I've used CAS signaling for years and it has worked just fine.  
But not with Asterisk.  Remember That CAS signaling is an inband format 
and requires more processing to set up a call.  PRI signaling (out of 
band) is used now more often because it's easy to set up not just in 
Asterisk but at the CO. There is less for to go wrong for a Telco. Most 
of them have moved away from the older signaling formats for that 
reason. If you just can't live with 23 channels and you need the 24th. 
and  your Telco is willing to give you CAS signaling  then go with it.  
My old set up is EM, DTMF,Wink,Origination 7 digits.  Some telcos will 
not out pulse in DTMF.  I don't know if Asterisk will accept MF. Like I 
said If you can get PRI then get it so you don't have this mess.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Will Echo problems EVER be solved, I'm scared

The Asterisk Software is not the problem. I'm thinking and I could be
wrong that your having a total line balance mismatch with the card your
using. Check the line impedance and the card's. Most people using
Asterisk don't have that much echo. Anyway It would be nice to see a
manual Hybrid adjustment on analog cards.

Don't give up.

EVERYTHING there is to be found on the net about avoiding echo problems

assumed that echo IS avoidable. 
  
  As
others have recommended, I created a test system with the proposed
production parts. I bought a couple different SIP phones to try and a
Digium TDM01B card. I am using an older PIII 1Ghz system with
815chipset (PCI Rev2.2) with 256MBfor my test system. The only thing
that will be different on a production system is that I will be using a
newer chipset PC with faster processor and 512MB. Probably Intel 7505,
7210, or 7211chipsets which seem to be the most compatible with
Asterisk. 
  
  My
problem is that I cannot eliminate echo no matter what I try. I
seriously doubt that a newer chipset faster PC with more memory will
eliminate or even reduce my echo problems based on what I have
read.I am not about to drop more cash to try and find out.
Essentially, my findingsare that Asterisk is NOT production capable
for my configuration which is via FXO and PSTN. That is probably THE
most common configuration so if itis not production capable like that
itisn't production capable period as far as I'm concerned. What a
disappointment :(. 
  
  Unless
I am missing something I am sure that many many people with a similar
configuration in a production environment have the same problem.
Perhaps they are just living with it?? For me it is just as
unacceptable on an Asterisk system as it is on a traditional PBX. Some
calls are ok and some are not. No correlation to local, long distance,
time of day. There always seems to be some echo. Sometimes it is
worse than other times. Again, no correlation to local, long distance,
time of day. Tried connecting to ATA adapter and using VoIP provider
instead to see if the telco was causing the problem. That did not
change anything. Still the same general echo problem
  
  The
things I have tried includein no particular order and not limited to
are:
  
  *Buy
latest TDM400P withlatest FXO module
  *Ensurecopper
connection to analog telco lines and telco are not causing problems
including running a separate shielded line to the demarc AND having the
telco guy come out and test the levels, impedance etc.
  *Adjust
RX/TX levels as per Asterisk Wiki using the quick Ztmonitor method and
by using the detailed Ztmonitor method via a Telco 102milliwatt test
phone #. The end result was RX=8.0, TX=-1.0. Since I still have echo
problems I have tried all sort of other settings without success.
  *After
ALL of the above, try every possible combination of all of the
following on Asterisk v1.0.9: echocancel (off, on, 128, 256, 16, 32,
64), echowhenbridged (on, off), echotraining (off, on, 800), Mark
2(default, aggressive,CVS head developments, bugs.digium.com patches,
adjust threshold level as per wiki etc. etc.)
  *Make
sure echotraining line is before FXO channel assignment in zapata.conf
file
  *Run
fxotune which did not find a need to adjust the FXO levels
(1=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)
  
  Based
on all the above testing the best settings were pretty much in line
with what most people are finding.
  echocancel=on.
echowhenbridged=on, echotraining=800, Mark 2 echo canceller, aggressive
cancellation OFF, bugs.digium.com #2820 patch, RX=8.0, TX=-1.0.
  
  Still
have echo. Aggressive mode helps a bit but then the other persons
voice get's cut offa lotespecially when I talkand the cutting in and
out of the canceller is more noticeable and objectionableingeneral
thanif Aggressive is turned off.
  
  Ihave
two SIP phones. An Aastra 9133i and a Grandstream GXP2000. Echo
problem is the same on both phones.
  
  
  I
am located within a metropolitan area in Canada.
  
  Any comments and/or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated as I am pretty much out of ideas and ready to give up on
Asterisk as a suitable traditional small business phone system
replacement.

I don't think this will work but it's worth a try.


Fall VON 2005 http://von.com is happening September 19-22, at the BCEC in Boston.

As usual, we have a special offer for members of the pulvermedia community, which is valid for the month of June only. Register using priority code JUNE and save an additional $300 off current pricing for either the VON Package or Full Conference registration options.  In addition, you can register for FREE access to the exhibit hall using the JUNE priority code.  To register, please visit: http://von.com/register.html

Subject: Register Today for Fall 2005 VON: "The Destination for IP
Communications"

Hi There,

While flying to London yesterday, I spent some time thinking about VON

  
  and
  
  
how while some things change, other things about VON remain the same.

Since our first VON event in the Spring of 1997, our VON events have

  
  over
  
  
time become the worldwide Destination event for IP Communications.

In fact, while we are actively marketing Fall 2005 VON using various
channels around the United States, it is the continued strong word-of-
mouth buzz that is bringing in delegates from around the world. So

  
  far,
  
  
there are delegates registered from 40+ countries including:
Argentina, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile,
China, Costa Rica, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Finland, France,

  
  Germany,
  
  
Ghana, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan,

  
  Korea,
  
  
Mexico, Netherland Antilles, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Russia,
Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan,
Turkey, UK, UAE, USA and Uzbekistan.

I expect the buzz to be pretty strong when the doors open in less than
four weeks. The 330+ exhibitors in our "Sold Out" exhibit hall

  
  represent
  
  
our largest exhibit hall...ever! (and has grown by more than 100
exhibitors since Spring 2005 VON.)

The Fall 2005 VON conference sessions are returning to the size we
experienced five and six years ago.

The registered delegates in Boston are all part of the ecosystem that
makes up our VON events. There will be people representing just about

  
  all
  
  
aspects of the IP Communications food chain.

Note: Vendors who are interested in exhibiting at Spring 2006 VON

  
  should
  
  
consider signing up now. The pulvermedia Sales team is projecting that

  
  the
  
  
exhibit hall at Spring 2006 VON will be close to sold-out before we

  
  arrive
  
  
in Boston for the commencement of Fall 2005 VON.

Experience the Journey and register today for Fall 2005 VON, "The
Destination for IP Communications."  Please visit:
https://secure.pulver.com/von/register.html to register.

Best regards,

Jeff

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Overriding Caller ID

2005-08-19 Thread Michael D Schelin
PRI is one of many signaling formats available on a T1 circuit. T1 and 
PRI are not the same thing.  Have your carrier change the signaling 
format of your T1 to PRI. PRI is 23 B Channels and 1 D Channel 
(Signaling) and is an end office protocol. It has many of the features 
of  a full blown SS7 network. 


Waldo Rubinstein wrote:


Derek/Jeremy/Kevin,

Thank you all for your comments. I suspected the issue would be the  
fact that we don't have a PRI but a T1. However, I decided to post  
the question to the list simply because I would assume that because  
the carrier is looking at our circuit configuration when answering my  
questions, they should know we don't have a PRI and they should have  
told us that we need PRI or it won't work.


To address your previous post, we are setting it to a caller id of a  
number assigned to us.


I'm just confused simply because of the fact that the carrier never  
caught or mentioned that we don't have a PRI and I spoke with 4 of  
their engineers and 2 supervisors. Go figure. I guess it's time to  
switch to a better carrier that knows what the heck they're doing.


Thanks again,
Waldo

So, what exactly is between the TE410P and the T1 circuit... As you  
have it

configured, it should not work at all

If the far end switch is a DMS100 you should have signalling=pri_cpe.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Overriding Caller ID




Hello list,

We have some kind of a problem with our Asterisk installation. We
want to be able to publish different caller id when placing outbound
calls through the PSTN. We have Asterisk with TE410P and T1 from FDN
Communications. The problem is that all our outbound calls show our
main number, regardless of what we set with SetCallerID, even using
CallingPres with all possible combinations. When speaking with FDN,
they say they have set their T1 to show our main number for outbound
calls, but that we should be able to override that with no problem.

As I said, I have tried all possible combinations, yet, nothing seems
to work. Below are snippets of some of our configs:

extensions.conf

;
; Local calls
;
exten = _NXXNXX,1,CallingPres(32)
exten = _NXXNXX,2,SetCallerID(2125551234)
exten = _NXXNXX,3,Dial(${TRUNK_LO}/${EXTEN})

zapata.conf

[channels]
usecallerid=yes
cidsignalling=bell
cidstart=ring
hidecallerid=no
restrictcid=no
usecallingpres=yes
callerid=asreceived

switchtype = dms100
signalling = em_w
group = 1
context=inbound
callerid=asreceived
channel = 1-24

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Waldo

I'm not hiding anything from this user group. Buy a Cisco gateway and 
put in you own T38 network together. I can't respond that fast to the 
hundreds of emails I've receive.  All I'm saying is if you want T38 now 
then buy our service. If  not, then wait for the Asterisk community to 
release it. If you want to speed up the process then help develop the 
code. T38 is not for a beginning programmer.   I posted this to help the 
people who are under a gun to get something working now. It will be 
great when the real Asterisk developers release it.  We're waiting just 
like you but in the mean time don't flame me for informing the group 
about something that can help them.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: two UA with the same usr/pwd

2005-08-02 Thread Michael D Schelin




Rich is correct. Example: Night security guards may need to catch an
inbound calls that could ring at more than one station. Maybe one is
doing rounds and the other is at another desk off site. Sometimes call
forwarding is too slow. There are many reasons why this could be used. 

Rich Adamson wrote:

  Regardless of what has (or has not) been implemented in asterisk, there
is a very valid business reason for wanting an extension number to ring
on multiple phones and to determine the status of an extension from
multiple phones. Business have needed (and implemented) that for years.
Having such an implementation in asterisk would definitely be a major
plus (regardless of what our definitions of a pbx and keysystem happen
to be).


  
  
Many people seem to want this feature.  I think they are just 
confused.  I've never actually heard of a good reason to let multiple 
devices register with the same username/secret.  Most of the time they 
  want a call to ring on multiple devices and they are trying to make 
a device == extension, which is not correct.  A device is a device and 
an extension is an extension and they are not the same thing and there 
is no 1-to-1 mapping between them.

server built in to their products but you can not provision it without
their software. And the person who said this was not the correct forum
to complain to, your right. I'm sorry to all of you for informing you
about the business practices of a supplier. I believe now that someone
removed the standard provising cd that is shipped with every Mediatrix
product. So everyone, make sure you receive all that you've paid for.

I don't doubt that there is a CD or there was once a CD that shipped

--- Copy and paste from mediatrix web site ---
With the Mediatrix 2102, service providers get the product
characteristics allowing them to successfully deploy residential IP
telephony applications. The Mediatrix 2102 provides a web interface,
giving users a convenient access to the unit for initial set-up. The
Mediatrix 2102 can auto-provision by fetching its encrypted
configuration file from a TFTP or HTTP server making installation
transparent to end-users. To further facilitate deployments, factory
loaded configurations are possible. Automatic firmware and
configuration file downloads ensure that the 2102 is always
up-to-date.
--- end ---

You are supposed to use a web interface for initial set up.

their distributors DO NOT include the CD and PROVISIONING tool unless
it is
ordered. 
  
  Why?
Because once
you get one CD there is no need to keep receiving them, when ordering
in bulk.
  
  So,
if any of you
plan to order the Mediatrix 2102 from anyone, make sure you ask for the
CD at
the time of purchase.
  
  I
would like to
thank Mr. Schelin for bringing this to our attention and we will be
updating
our site to prevent this sort of problem from occurring again.
  
  If
anyone has any
further questions about the 2102, or how to order one with or without
the CD,
please contact me offlist.
  
  Thanks!

  Real scary  who 
Don't bash my company. You've never used us. I test products for
deployment so
my customers don't have to call in for help. When I have to waste my
time
hunting down software then I get mad. Mediatrix has been great about
getting
this software to me. There is a limited web server built in to their
products
but you can not provision it without their software. And the person who
said
this was not the correct forum to complain to, your right. I'm sorry to
all of
you for informing you about the business practices of a supplier. I
believe now
that someone removed the standard provising cd that is shipped with
every
Mediatrix product. So everyone, make sure you receive all that you've
paid for. 
  
I'm ending this thread now.

Are you sure you didn't buy a refurbished model? 
I hear they sell a lot of refurbished equiptment, I've
purchased some of it myself. 
Everything I've purchased from them worked without issue. None however
came with an installation CD. 
A few things had to be reset to clear settings though.
Anything I needed was freely available.
Since you know how to contact Medatrix, perhaps you can download the
software or get a CD from them.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] InfoWeek Article on VOIP

2005-07-16 Thread Michael D Schelin
I agree with you but not 100% with them. An IP to Ip call on an ATA flat 
out is better . Now don't even get me started about cellular. My Service 
dosen't drop calls in the middle of conversations. VoIP is a notch 
better than Cellular.

The bottom line is that they compare retail VOIP providers like Comcast
Cable, Time-Warner Cable, ATT, Vonage, Packet8 et al. Their
methodology seems sound. Their conclusion is that retail VOIP services
don't yet match the PSTN for reliability  call quality.

It is interesting that all of these retail providers use ATA type
devices. I wonder how some of the stronger true ITSPs like Level3 or
even Nufone, VOIPJet, etc would fare, especially with an all digital
scheme...ie hard IP phones.

My own sense is that my IP base calls are cleaner than my SBC lines. I
accept that they're less reliable, but much of that I attribute to the
fact that I'm no Linux guru and I use a retail DSL line as my IP
access.

Proxy servers can do that.

I have gotten the records in our zonefiles, and things work pretty

However, since the DNS server can only specify a host and port, there 
doesn't seem to be any way to authenticate the user coming in.


Is that the case?  Is there a fix?

Thanks in advance for anyone who might be able to shed some light.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] INBAND DTMF G729 ASTERISK

2005-06-24 Thread Michael D Schelin
Hello, I'm not sure about Asterisk and in band DTMF without careful 
reading, but i do know that most ATA's and soft phones all have in band 
capabilities if set. G729 may not pass in band DTMF correctly all the 
time,in fact it's very poor and this is the reason for out of band. I 
think from reading the rest of the comments on the this post that you 
may have to look closer at encryption to keep all eyes from sniffing out 
the pins. I understand why you wouldn't want to slow down VoIP any more 
than you have to but customer security is more important.

That sure sounds like it's Analog trunks to me. I believe you will need 
a channel bank to go from T1 to 24 ds0's and another to go back to T1. I 
could be wrong but I don't think so. I don't think that's what you were

I am getting ready to experiment with the Tellabs 2752 echo canceller.  
I have a 255D shelf (and power supply), but am struggling a little on

The shelf has 4 25-pair amphenol connectors.  The two on the line side 
are marked Receive In and Send Out.   The 2 connectors on the drop 
side are marked Send In and Receive Out. I will be connecting the 
echo canceller between a PRI and our asterisk box.  We recieve our PRI 
on an RJ-45 jack, so I assume I will need to make a cable that connects 
the Receive Tip/Ring pair from a Cat5 and wire it to pins 1  26 on 
the Receive In connector and take the Send Tip/Ring pair and wire 
them to pins 126 on the Send Out.  The same thing will need to be 
done for the 2 drop side amphenol connectors so that I can plug an RJ-45 
connector in to our Asterisk box.
 
Does anyone have a suggestion on the easiest way to do this?  I will 
make my own cables/connectors if necessary, but I suspect there are 
already adapters out and I just don't know where to look.  I'd love 
some suggestions on the best pieces to use if I do have to make it 
myself too.

It's easy to connect:

Network rx pair goes to your send out.  Network tx pair goes to Receive in 
-- similarly your Asterisk-end rx pair goes to Receive out and your 
asterisk tx pair goes to Send in.


I am guessing this shelf can handle 24 echo cancellation cards?  It seems a 
little odd to split the T1s up across 4 connectors but if you're terminating 
to BIX or something it really does make sense.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Seeking Inbound 800# Origination for Unique
Prostate Cancer Support Call-In Show

Dear Asterisk Community,
  Does your company provide inbound 800# origination?  If so, please read
this message and e-mail us a quote for monthly co-lo hosting of our
asterisk server and per-minute inbound 800# origination.

The Prostate Cancer Research and Education Foundation (PC-REF) is a
non-profit organization dedicated to helping prostate cancer sufferers and
their loved ones.  We have created a weekly call-in show using Asterisk
that we offer as a FREE service to the public.  Callers can ask their
questions from world reknown experts, or just listen in.  It's kind of
like a talk show except you use your telephone, instead of a radio.

We need a provider who can host our Asterisk Server and provide reliable 
IAX2 or SIP inbound 800# traffic.  The show is one hour per week.  We need

the capability to support 100+ simultaneous callers.  Most callers listen
for the entire duration of the show.

We have been working with another provider for the last several months,
however, after many trials and tribulations, they have determined that
their maximum capacity is 15 simultaneous callers.  They will remain
anonymous for the time being, as I truly believe that they worked very
hard and to the best of their abilities.  However, they were just
technically unable to deliver to our requirements, despite their promises
and best efforts.  As they have been kind enough to offer a complete
refund, I see no reason to embarass them in this forum.  


Therefore, it would be helpful (but not an absolute requirement) for
your company to be able to port/migrate our 800 number so that we can
keep our existing phone number.

We are ready to move quickly and eager to establish a long term, mutually
beneficial working relationship.  This call in show has the potential to
help many Prostate Cancer sufferers!  Your assistance will be recognized
and appreciated!!

Many Thanks,
  -Lee

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Echo problem

2005-06-08 Thread Michael D Schelin
Hi Martin, There was an great post last week about echo. It stated that 
the order of the lines matters. It does. The channels must be listed 
last for the echo cancel and most other things to work. Rx and TX gain 
is one of the things also affected. Now I'm using TE110 card in my 
system. I hope this helps because I'm not sure about Analog lines.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Pricing for DS3000P

2005-06-04 Thread Michael D Schelin
Are you kidding!  $4000.00 is cheap for a ds3 board! Even if you don't 
use all of the 28 t1's it's better because you will now be able to put 
in as many T1's as you will most likely need.  Expansion will be just 
simple configuration change.  Also as I've read in these forums, the 
interrupt issue should go away as this should only need 1.  Don't let 
the term DS3 scare you. I have herd there are DS3 to T1 adapters out on 
the market for as little as $500.  If you need more than 1 4 port T1 
card you should buy the DS3 card unless of course you only need 5 T1 ports.

And if I add faxdetect=incoming as the last line in that one, asterisk

Lesson learned: the order in which lines appear in zapata.conf does matter.
Questions to be asked:  is that expected behavior? is it documented 
somewhere?



Yes. For the most part, the order of the statements does not make
any difference. However, what you've learned from above is not the
order at all; its that your echo statements were not stated before
the channel = 1-8 statement.

In other words, had those echo statements been included prior to the
channel statement (as in your working cofig), the order within the 
channel definition section is irrelavent.

Don't use vi (unless you figure out how to do it in vi).

in this case sed is your friend.

It's a breeze to use too.

Here's what it looks like:  sed -e s/text_to_find/text_to_replace/g 
inputfile  outputfile

and yup you can use the same name for both files to simply update the file.

Make sure you back it up first of course.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] G729 vs. gsm

2005-05-27 Thread Michael D Schelin
I have used G729 and it sounds almost as good as G711U. The problem is 
the way Asterisk uses it. It does not sound robotic and it's not suppose 
 to sound that way. Most Carriers want the calls to be in g711u so 
thats why I use G711u otherwise I want to save money on bandwidth. G729 
on Asterisk adds latency. this could be one of your problems. Also you

It sounded more or less the same to me, perhaps with GSM being a little more

I am interested in G729 because the internet in my

possible. I want to use G729 because it takes less
bandwidth for each additional call between two IAX
servers than other codecs.



Make sure you use IAX2 trunking then.  It can give you very large bandwidth 
savings when you have multiple audio streams between two servers since the 
UDP overhead is not repeated for every call.

Steve, you should really test the Codec and have G729 running as a pure 
IP to IP call you can not hear the difference on good networks! Please 
do not get me wrong that G711u sounds better through the PSTN.  Thats a 
given! You can't convert G729 up and down to G711 and expect the sound 
quality to be there. I'm a carrier and have tested G711 and G729 and 
have found that they both sound great through dedicated hardware. 
Asterisk's colors the G729 a little. Also my hearing is fine. Please do 
not put down the comments of others in this forum. I'm stating my 
comments from my real world trials and this is not bad information. The 
man must compare codecs on his own and see what works for him. For me 
we've stuck with G711u because it's best through the PSTN. If I was

G.729 doesn't sound that bad. However, if you find it hard to tell G.729 
from G.711, I think you should have your hearing checked. :-) It really 
doesn't help people to assess what is right for them, if other people 
make these exaggerated and unreasonable claims. Even the people 
promoting G.729 give it a MOS far below G.711. You are certainly right 
about music on hold, but even voice plus a little background noise can 
sound bloody awful through G.729. Its performance is *very* dependant on 
compressing just a single human voice.

Steve

In a sane world pure IP to IP systems would't use G.711, G,729, iLBC, or

Re: [Asterisk-Users] YET Another echo issue PRI CARD Any help accepted :-)

2005-05-26 Thread Michael D Schelin
Hello, I too am having an echo issues. My partner an I have discussed 
this in depth and believe that digital circuits can not create the echo 
problem.  It's when it hits the Analog network or in my cases ATA's that 
are having echo problems. I have another gateway that does not have any 
echo on the same Sipura ATA's. I have also notices that the Asterisk 
levels are very hot from T1-PRI to Sip.  I have not had the chance to 
turn them down but I think this is where my echo problem  is occurring 
because the Digital levels are too much for the ATA to convert.  I will 
let you know if I find this to be true.

The call always has echo on it.  The Asterisk sip extension
hears them selves echoing.  The remote party does not notice any
difference.

I have tried all the following.

  #define CONFIG_ZAPTEL_MMX  tried this defined and undefined

Then tried each of the following types of echo cancellations.

  #define ECHO_CAN_MARK
  #define ECHO_CAN_MARK2 with and without #define
AGGRESSIVE_SUPPRESSOR
  #define ECHO_CAN_MARK3

I am completely at a loss on how to get rid of this echo problem. The
system is completely useless for incoming calls, as it currently stands.
Is there a Digium card that handles echo better? Are there any asterisk
compatible cards with hardware echo cancellation available?

I have had good success fiddling with the txgain and rxgain values in

the board. Turning the gain down solves a lot of echo problems, with
negligible effect on voice quality.



There should be *NO* reason to adjust tx/rxgain on a PRI or ANY digital 
connection!  The fact that adjusting it down 10% worked suggests that the 
telco switch is boosting the signal for some unknown reason.  Use the 
technique outlined in this message:

Again if you're screwing with gains on PRI you have bigger problems, I think.

Assuming that you will need about 12 to 24 simulataneous calls on each

the bandwidth that the DID provider has to give you, apart from the DID

Ulaw needing 64 kbps per line, needs 1.2 mbps for 20 simultaneous calls.


Assuming a Data T1 costs about $500 bucks a month and assuming that you
need/use the DID for only 8 hours a day at that rate, it costs about
$100 per month in data bandwidth alone.

Who will pay for this, If it is not Democracynow who is footing the

Many of the providers I've tried contacting either won't call me back,

Re: [Asterisk-Users] origination providers

2005-05-24 Thread Michael D Schelin




Hello All, After a wonderful conversation with Mr. O'Shield he asked me
to inform the Asterisk community that we run an SS7 network with Los
Angeles Area trunks and DID's that we can supply with Fixed
costs and NO per minute charges on our inbound trunks. Calls
include caller ID. Also we can supply Co-Location, Power, and a fixed
amount of non shared Internet bandwidth. This can be used for Calling
card providers or call centers. We are tied onto the Verizon Backbone.
Please call Michael Schelin at ShellTel 626-814-2354 for more
information.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] About Voip Technology : RTP over TCP

2005-05-13 Thread Michael D Schelin




TCP is too slow for Real time Apps. If you have packet errors TCP will
try to resend the packet. This will create latency issues. This is why
UDP is used for Voip. 1 or 2 missing packets is not going to be missed.
If you look at your Stats. you'll see a few of them. 

Stewart Nelson wrote:

  
I am interested in implementing RTP over TCP

  
  
Why?  If you want to permit operation through a firewall
that blocks UDP, there are packages that provide VPN
tunnels over TCP or even HTTP.  You could then run
any VoIP system over that VPN.  As you said, delay
performance would sometimes be awful.

Skype will automatically fall back to TCP if a UDP
connection attempt fails.

Most of the commercial instant messaging packages
that support voice or video can work over TCP.

If your purpose is to improve performance on networks
with high packet loss rates, IMHO you would get better
results from a UDP-based system that permits forward
error correction, by transmitting each voice frame
in two or more packets.  If you can't afford the
increased bandwidth, a system of retransmission such
as used by popular streaming protocols would still be
better than TCP.

  
  
One more point is What is feasibility of implementing
RTP over TCP in  case of NAT (Network Address
Translation) is there ?

  
  
Any of the above systems can work through NAT.  If
both endpoints are behind NATs, and you can't
set up port forwarding on either, then of course you
must connect via an intermediate server.  Skype
and the IM services do that automatically.

If your desire for TCP is not related to firewalls
or packet loss, I'd be interested in hearing about
your application.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Satellite Providers

2005-05-11 Thread Michael D Schelin




The delay in the air is minor. Radio travels very fast through the air.
Almost at the speed of light. It's the electronics that are causing the
delays. The less electronics touching your signal the better.  The up
and down is very fast. But then you have all the converts and the land
line links to factor in. Microwave also has delays such as the
Motorola equipment which is only half duplex. This will also incress
the time. Max is right, check into some ground based systems. 

Max W Blackmer Jr wrote:

  Satellite delays are always bad.  It is more a delay because of the time
it takes a signal to travel to the satellite and back to a receiving
station.  You might want to check into ground station to station
microwave communications stations. The best is to have a tap to a phone
company that may have cell towers in the area.

Cheers,

Where do you get reliable DIDs? The 'carrier partner' they speak of.. 
can you get the did directly from them?
Are all the voip providers this flakey?
 

I've tried 5 providers, and I can't say that I'm happy with any of 
them.  I'm far to small to deal with 'carrier partners' directly (e.g. 
Level 3, XO or RNK).  So I have to deal through resellers.  And they 
all seem to be operating on shoestrings and duct tape.

I'm OK with the awkward setup, confusing configuration, and (for 
Asterisk) all but useless documentation.  But high latency, dropouts, 
unplanned outages, lack of clues, echos, all take the shine off 
things.  With Asterisk I have very few tools to monitor connection 
quality, especially on the outbound leg of my calls.  I at least want 
to know when it sucks, and have some control over parameters.

I keep a POTS line at home.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Who's happy with their voip service?

2005-05-07 Thread Michael D Schelin
Isn't amazing what has happened in the last five or six years with the 
Internet.  There is no design flaw with IPv4. It was created back when 
you were in diapers and with todays pda's having more power than the 
systems back then.  An industry protocol that is going strong 30 or more 
years is amazing in it's own right. How could they see the future of 
what we are doing today with the protocol.  I believe the engineers who 
designed IPv4 were brilliant men and did a great job designing  
something that is computer system neutral. 

Again in the the last few years VoIP has come a long way as the PSTN has 
had over 100 years to perfect theirs. If we did not have to interface 
with the PSTN don't you think we would be better off?  They didn't have 
to interface with anybody else.

Chris Coulthurst wrote:
I tend to agree about the in-house being the 'stable part'.  Like
anything else on the internet, if you don't have control of all parts
(trunks and phones and dialplans), there are bound to be issues with
uptime, and how your equipment responds to 'their' downtime.  It reminds
me of the headaches I had as an ISP when a BGP4 route wouldn't switch to
the redundant carrier, because the main carrier didn't really die, it
just stopped transmitting!
It's also worth noting the design flaws with IPv4 handling priority
packets in the first place.  I think most of the little 'gotchas' in
VoIP would magically vanish if QoS was something that could be depended
upon.  All you need is one router to not know how to pass the qos token,
and now you don't really have any!  Its another example hiw an in-house
system can be stable when you hold all the cards.
By the time IPv6 gets here, it will be amazingly obsolete...

It's difficult, very difficult, for a newcomer to this technology to
figure out who is a reliable provider and whether companies like
BroadVoice are a flash-in-the-pan, here today - gone tomorrow, take
your money and run, outfit or whether they are just having growing

The repeated outages are unacceptable.  If they are planned then they
should have the professionalism to send every customer an e-mail
advising of the outage BEFORE the outage.  They should also put a web
page up notifying customer of planned outages, loads on the proxies
(latencies) and other information a business who was dependent upon
their services would need.

Finally, to BroadVoice, I say, if you want my business then clean up
your act and do so promptly.  Otherwise the VoIP community will just
dismiss you as another provider wannabe.

  
  
Those of us that have been around the list (and BV) for awhile know
that one of the BV employees had a strong interest in making * work
with their service. He did so and does frequent this list. However,
he's a one-man support shop (with BV clearly stating there is no BV
support for *). So the * users use this list for support.

If you are going to act as any reasonable consultant or reseller,
it certainly is not in your client's best interest for you to recommend
BV when it is simply unsupported and you know it.

Until BV as a company steps up to the plate, it serves no useful
purpose to bitch at them. Their doing exactly what they said they
would do... nothing.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] [Fwd: Call forwarding]

2005-05-04 Thread Michael D Schelin
As far as I know Asterisk does not support normal PSTN  type call 
forwarding.  I.E. the user would type *72 etc.  This is called call 
forking. My Mulitech gateway does but at a huge price. Also T38 is 
supported.  I have several carriers that I use that have Asterisk. All 
of the Asterisk boxs won't  accept call fowarding. I send the calls to 
my carriers with Cisco gateways and the calls reroute correctly.  Now I 
have a proxie that controls everything. You may be able to do call 
fowarding with 2 boxes. But a call in and reroute back out may not work.

Hi team,
Basic question I know, but I can't seem to find any obvious 
information about this:

Does anyone know if * natively supports call forwarding from a given 
extension (i.e. call forwarding without having to write a macro)?

My user wants to be able to dial a code plus a phone number to start 
diverting all calls to the given extension to that number.  Call 
forwarding would then be disabled by dialling a code number again.

I expected that * would support this type of feature natively, but 
can't find anything in the wiki.  If responding please let me know if 
we need to enable anything in features.conf as well.

Thanks in advance,
Damian.

The problem in this case isn't so much echo but static and chop on all calls

were thinking it was the RAID controller but someone posted that they had
the same problem with an 1850 without the RAID controller. 

We've got some E100P cards we're going to try out but it's difficult to

I have a Poweredge 2650 w/ a TE410P card. I'm getting lots of local echo (my
users hear themselves) when calling local telephone numbers.
Echo cancelling helps, but doesn't solve the problem. 
From zapata.conf: 
echocancel = 64 
echocancelwhenbridged = yes 
echotraining = 800 
My zttest results consistently look like this. The digium fellow who has

The card isn't sharing interrupts, etc. We're at the point where the Digium

Anybody else have a 2650 with a TE410P ? 
Do you have any local echo problems?

Are you satisfied with the system?

I have fixed and rearranged the priority and still no client
greetings. The commands below have been fixed but all I get is the
system prompts. That is ok but my clients should be able to have there
recorded greetings played on VM access. I can record the greetings and
play them back but just not when a sip call is accessed. what is
going on. When debugging the sip call there is nothing stated about
playing the client s greeting.

You have two priority '2' extensions and you are missing priority '1'

What I want to do is setup an extension with pattern matching to

but not yet in use/configured.

I have been successful at setting up pattern matching as a catch all 
for 98 or so numbers not in use yet and I have been successful setting 
up the 2 numbers I want to make use of for now.

Problem is, I can't use both at the same time!
If I turn on the pattern matching then my greeting plays for the 
configured number, then the message plays for the invalid number 
(basically executing the extension with the pattern matching).

I have read about sorting with pattern matching by using an include, I 
did this but it's not really helping.

I have set a response timeout after the first extension plays it's 
greeting, I would think it should wait until it times out but it 
doesn't, it just immediately moves to the pattern matched extension.

I must be missing something big here..
Any help is appreciated..

Hi,
I've been reading on the wiki as well as on this list, different 
suggestions of what to look for when designing an asterisk server with 
a lot of traffic. By a lot of traffic, I mean a box with a a TE4XXP, 
that will be hit to full capacity (96 simultaneous calls). This box 
will also deliver these calls to SIP users and record all their 
conversations via Monitor.

I've heard that it's not necessarily a matter of memory (RAM) nor the 
need to have a multi-processor machine. But what really matters is 
that the motherboard (architecture) is designed to handle such a high 
amount of interrupts generated by the TE4XXP, the NIC, the storage 
array (whether it's SCSI or IDE or SATA).

Does anyone have experience with particular brands of either 
motherboards they recommend are capable to handle this or complete 
systems (e.g. Dell  or whichever brands), that are ready for this?

Thanks,

	Hi,

Well, in my case I have a 486 and a hell lot of the problems with that.

First I have not being able to use "features" like call transfer or anything
like that (built-in ones) - it will just not respond to those commands. And
Grandstream sent me a reply to my problem
saying: "this is the problem with your * configuration and those features
are not supposed to work without Asterisk". But eventually with the latest
firmware I've managed to make it work after some voodoo. But the new
firmware introduced another issue, which is kind of weird: my ADSL modem
will resync every 10-15 min if I connect Grandstream ATA 486 to PSTN (do not
get me wrong, I really put the ADSL filters in). As soon as I remove ATA
486, ADSL stays solid and does not resync.

In your case you would just get a bounce backs from grandstream to your
vendor and back, but in my case vendor will just not respond at all to any
communication means. So beware VOIPSUPPLY.COM seems to be a bunch of funny
people who will not stand behind the products they sell. 

So in my case I not just made a worst purchase, but also choose a worst
supplier.

Sincerely,

I contacted the vendor I bought it from, and they said to contact 
Grandstream.

I contacted Grandstream, and they told me to hit refresh in my 
browser

After sending them the Ethereal trace, I haven't heard back from them 
yet.

I think it's the worst purchase I've ever made.

[Asterisk-Users] No Audio sent using playback cmd

2005-04-26 Thread Michael D Schelin
Hi All, I really need help on this. What would keep Asterisk from 
playing out audio files using the (Playback command) but I can play the 
busy tone . playtone(Congestion)  ??  I have verified this with ethereal 
and see the audio only going one way. In to Asterisk bun nothing coming 
out.   Because I can hear the audio with the play tone I know there is 
something preventing the playback cmd from working.

Thanks

Re: [Asterisk-Users] SIP, Asterisk and NAT

2005-04-26 Thread Michael D Schelin
You are talking about a sip proxie server. I don't like ser. I use a 
full commercial proxie that works great but it's expensive. I believe 
asterisk can do what you want but I'm not sure. I use Sipquest for my 
services. I'm a provider.

Irakli Natsvlishvili wrote:
100k question - does asterisk correctly handle following situations:
1. Asterisk is on a public IP
  Two SIP clients on separate networks, each of them are behind dynamic NAT
gateway. Nat gateway does not have ALG. Media stream SHOULD NOT go thought
asterisk.
2. Even worst case -  three clients, two of them on one site, second is on
another site. For example extensions 500 and 600 are on the same site and in
the same subnet and extension 1000 is on another site/network. There are PAT
FW/gateways with dynamic public IP in front of clients and those are
symmetric NAT/FW.
The task - clients registering on Asterisk server, calling each other and
RTP should not go via asterisk. So, media stream should go directly from one
client to another.
I want to know:
1. Is it possible? - yes/no. Implementation should involve asterisk and SIP
clients and not involving third party hardware products - ALG, session
border controllers or so on.
2. If it is possible, what are requirements for SIP clients.
3. What configuration changes should be done on Asterisk server and on a sip
clients.
And final question - if it is NOT possible with Asterisk, do you know an
open source product which works in above stated scenarios and you've
actually tested it. 

Thanks for your help.

The only time I've ever had this problem was because I specified the

Eg.
Playback(file.wav) is INCORRECT. Needs to be specified as Playback(file).
Some more info may help to get your question answered!

literature makes no mention of voltage requirements.

  
  
I can cofirm that it has both the 5V and 3.3V cutouts in the edge connector.
I can also confirm that I've used the card successfully in a 5V slot.
I haven't tried it in the 3.3V slot.

Ok you guys enough. The debate will go on forever. The only thing
that seperates the boys from the men in this world is marketing. Beta
vs VHS. 
Is Unix is better then Windows - Yes, but it doesn't matter. We live
in a Windows world because Microsoft is the greatest marketing company
on the planet! They also do somethng nobody else does. Tools Tools

Lenux had the or can create the ease of use software tools, you will
see the end of Microsoft. That is the key. Get the tools in the hands

Um, that's total bullshit. Low computer prices and "ease of use" would have
existed if MS was never around. You completely dismiss billions of man
hours of hard work by those outside MS making advances in hardware and
software around the world. To make a statement like that, you show a
total lack of knowledge of the industry. 


  
  
and hoiw many operating systems were so popular during the 80s and early
90s?  What operating system shipped on almost every computer during that
period?

I dont think I lack understanding of the industry I think that I
remember clearly that windows was shipped on that, I think that whether
or not it resulted in an anti-trust conviction microsoft did make it
easier for people to use computers and thus more sold.

I am sorry that you are so bigioted to think that other operating
systems dominated the market during that period, and cant accept that
windows was the #1 operating system by a clear margin in terms of
installed systems.


  
  

  I have worked for over 10 years in the software development industry and
  

Then you entered the industry far too late to know the real history of
computing, have read too many MS revisionist history books, or were

I started using computers in 1976.  I dont think I entered too late.  As
for reading MS revisionist history books, no but I think that you have
been readiung too many anti-MS revisionist history books.  The
popularity of a personal computer in the home was not made with cp/m it
was not made with coherent (a unix for the pc before linux was around).
It was not made by os/2, it was not made by any mac.  Computers did not
fully become so incredibly popular until windows.  look at any
historical sales reports and see when the numbers started increasing
dramatically.

Recall all the software shops that sold software, why was it that at
least 90% was for windows and the remaining 10% for all other operating
systems for a great many years?  Why did all the computer shows that
were oh so popular during that period sell mostly for the wintel
platform?  


  
  
For example, The Amiga for example had a wonderful OS, great
multi-tasking, awesome windowing interface etc. over 10 years before MS

  
  
but it never sold as well.  You fail to understand that its sales that
drove the cost down.  os/2 was better than windows at multitasking too,
but again it didnt sell so well.  Granted there was evilness by
microsoft that resulted in antitrust convictions over some of that but
you just proved how clueless you are.

You know nothing if you try to bring up the amiga when we are talking
about sales.  And you try to say that I dont know what I am talking
about?


  
  
(some would argue longer.) Comodore didn't have a chance against the
mighty combo of IBM, MS, Compaq. and other x86 hardware and software
vendors in the business world (the Amiga was originally designed as a
game machine and could never escape the stigma AND had the same
bone-headed single hardware source issue that Apple has. Poor management
/ marketing also contributed to the companies death.) (Speaking of
Apple, it boggles the mind that it took them over 15 years to add
multi-tasking to their product line - and yes, I am dismissing their
prior failed unix attempt.)


  
  You make excuses for the fact that they didnt sell as well as microsoft,
and still try to insist that I dont know what I am talking about when I
say that MS sold more units which drove the cost down (I specifically
made that point in my previous email).

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Any work around for ISPs that block port 5060
and69
I have a several friends registered on my asterisk box that are
experience problems with their ISP blocking SIP default ports 5060 and
tftp port 69.  Is there any way around this problem or are they forever
doomed to VOIP since their ISP is pretty much the only ISP company on
that island.  So far I was able to have them change their default SIP
port to 6070 and any packets coming in on that port on my asterisk box I
would redirect to port 5060.  That seem to be working fine, expect that
they can make calls but cannot receive calls.  I think part of the
problem might be that when asterisk tries to initiate a call to their
sip phone it tries on port 5060 instead of 6070 even though I have
specified in the sip.conf that their port is 6070.  Has anyone else
encountered this problem and was able to resolve it?  My other option is
to change my asterisk box to work completely on a different port, but I
am reluctant to do so since the majority of registered users for now do
not have an issue with port 5060 being blocked by their ISP.
Thanks for your help.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] large analog to asterisk

2005-04-16 Thread Michael D Schelin
Good point. Here is another Suggestion.  Why not use the existing analog 
phones to their PBX and go out to channel banks for their phone line 
trunks.  Then go to Asterisk for  the rest. They don't have 700 trunks.  
This will save on equipment costs and you will get some of the benefits 
of Asterisk.  It's not the best solution but it will work.  Also if you 
do want to replace all you system with new phones then try my idea of 
using the cat 3 cable. As far as the switches gos, remember it's not the 
cable the determines  the speed but the equipment connected to it.  I 
have yet to see a sip phone above 10 Mb.  So you can disregard Mr.  
Hamilton's statement about the switch.  Yes you investment will be high, 
but that is a business expense.  I'm currently doing that cat 3 trick.  
Don't worry about your customers connecting to your phone system. They 
won't know it's IP.

Andy Hamilton wrote:
And then you'd need to purchase 700 VoIP phones; not a small

method may be best, unless you plan to expand the services that you 
offer to the guests. If the rooms did have cat3, you could eventually 
expand your offering to include internet access for the guests, 
advanced phone features (on the IP phones), etc...
 

Even Cat 3 anymore could be a real problem
Most inexpensive hubs and switches are 10/100, with no way to lock 
them to 10 .

Wear and tear on SIP phones, most hotels are used to paying 12-15 
bucks for room phones, and some always end up walking away..

And then there is the issue of E911. Depending on the location, some 
jurisdictions, and I feel sure many more to come, are requiring E911 
to know not only the street address but the room number.

Good luck. Stick with the analog for now.

If your rooms analog phones are wired with cat 3 cabling you can do 10 
Mb over it.  Convert all the rooms to Ethernet  and use large switches. 
One Asterisk box should do the trick. Remember not every room will be 
using  the phone  system at the same time.  This should work for you.

anyone with some type of switch can go to nanpa, get a CIC and some
numbers, and then get someone like global crossing to terminate
everything to you?

  
  
maybe once the FCC ruling goes a little further, right now its limited
to sbc only.

Basically to get numbers you have to have a OCN and a CLLI code.  If you
are going to interconnect with SS7 you need a point code. (required for
number pooling, where you get only 1000 numbers instead of 10,000, which
is the prefered way to do it).

To get that under the current regime you basically have to be a LEC/IXC.
NANPA wants a minimum of 66 days to assign numbers and you have to have
them entered in BRRDS which they will do for $35 first year less next
year (there is no charge for exchanges from NANPA but resellers may
charge you since its not a trivial undertaking to get numbers, and if
you wanted all 50 states you would have to be approved in all 50 states
by each state PUC/PSC/BPU whatever they happen to call it).

Hope this helps :)

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Configuring the Sipura for static IP and registering with Asterisk.

2005-04-09 Thread Michael D Schelin
There is very little difference between configuring a static IP or 
DHCP.  You need the basic 3 things like the IP address, Sub net mask, 
and Gateway address. For DNS use the dns servers address's supplied by 
you ISP.  Make sure you turn on the use DNS setting in the Sipura unless 
you use IP address only. A sip registration failure can be many things. 
Your Service provider should have given you basic settings.  Any one of 
them can be typed in wrong. You must go over each setting. A common 
failure is the auth. password. Also make sure you use a stun server. 
Even if the IP is public, It doesn't hurt anything to use it. Most of 
the time stun servers use port 3478. So your entry should be ip-address:3478

I hope this helps a little

A few of the spa changes require the box be rebooted. Did you do that?
Can you ping the sipura's ip address?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] SPA and NAT traversal

2005-04-09 Thread Michael D Schelin
The only way you ll be able to call extension to extension is if  
Asterisk is on the same node behind the nat. like the extensions or if 
each extension is on a different node.  I run a proxie server and have 
ran through this problem many time. I bet you can call out bound to the 
outside world just fine from every extension. .

My SPA is behind a NAT accessing a server which is also behind a NAT

My SPA can successfully register.  It can call another extension 
which is
inside the * local net and the inside phone can call the SPA.  But, no
speech path either way.  I have NAT=YES and the two invite parameters 
are
set to NO.

I'm desperately trying to get your sip.conf file telepathically but 
all I'm getting is images from your Martha Stewart porn collection. 
*shudder*

In addition to nat=yes you also need localnet= and externip= set, as 
shown in sip.conf.sample.

You need to have a UDPTL transport for most boxes supporting T.38. I 
have a working UDPTL for *, but it needs more polishing before release.

can't
be too hard to get working. Perhaps the t39fax codec needs to be

Hello, The Multitech VOIP line supports T38 and I have tested it. It 
works
great.  You will need a public IP to make it work. Very expensive 
though.
T38 Is not compatible with Asterisk.

Grandstream has the same problem. Very common. A simple DTMF debouncer

  Yep, I've seen it and from reading http://www.voxilla.com it's a
pretty common problem.

If you turn on debugging what you'll see is that the Sipura has
mistakenly detected a DTMF code in the audio stream and is relaying it
by repeating the signal (very loudly I might add)

So this appears to be a bug in the most current firmware. I've
reported it to Sipura including the debug output. Maybe more people
should do the same.
  

You'd think that switching to RFC2833 DTMF would fix that.

  
  
That is actually the problem.  It thinks it hears DTMF so it sends an
out-of band signal.  The other end receives this and produces the
audible tone.

Switching to in-band fixes it.  Well, works around it. :)

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Getting a good deal on a PRI

2005-04-07 Thread Michael D Schelin




If you feel your pots lines are critical to your business then you
should keep them. 
What I want is the flexibility and features * gives me, with the
reliability of land lines
Then why do you need a PRI? You can use a channel bank to convert to
PRI if you have DID's. There is a lot you can do to get calls into the
asterisk box. But if you feel you need the best reliability why use
asterisk. I don't feel it's 100% yet either. It's good, but now you
have another source of possible failure. No more or no less than
VOIP. I'm a service provider and yes we have failures once an awhile
but I can tell you in about a year or so that will be a thing of the
past.

voip just isn't reliable enough yet to get rid of land lines
completely.  I feel comfortable using voip for outgoing calls, and
maybe 800 numbers we use for marketing campaigns, but we can't afford
to have our customer service lines down.

Plus, another issue is adequate bandwidth.  If we go pure voip I doubt
our dsl would be enough (1792 down/448 up).  Which means I'd have to
get a T1 or better for the office.

What I want is the flexibility and features * gives me, with the
reliability of land lines, and also the ability to interject voip into
the mix if and when it makes sense.
