It appears that the final argument to all these functions (normally a 0 
or 1) has been dropped, but it hasn't been fixed in chan_oss.c or 
chan_alsa.c.  If you happen to have already compiled asterisk before and 
aren't doing a clean recompile then it appears that the problem isn't 
spotted and recompiled (poor dependency checking in the Makefile?)

The easy fix is just to drop the final arguments for all these functions 
and then to kick off the compile again.

You always have to remember that a UK ADSL line has a contention ratio 
of 20:1 if you have business ADSL or 50:1 if you have the consumer option.

This means that in the worst event you could find out that your 256K on 
a business line is actually 12Kbit/s and the consumer option is only 
around 1Kbit/s.  These are worst case scenario, but it would mean event 
one GSM call was too big to get down the pipe.  In reality I suspect you 
would probably never see more than 4-5 people competing with you, but 
even then it is only around 50-64Kbit/s.  I often find I get pretty much 
the full pipe, but you can't really plan on that and it would be bad to 
run too many calls over the line at a time.  Typically we find that 5 is 
about the reasonable limit.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Grandstream transfer into outer space

2004-02-26 Thread Michael T Farnworth
Jim Rosenberg wrote:
The Grandstream BudgeTone 101 phone has a Transfer button. This appears to
be a blind transfer: once you've dialed the extension to which you want
to transfer, the phone tries to do this and then dumps you out.
You also get similar trouble if people press the transfer button, but 
forget to press 'send' at the end (certainly I find the calls are not 
transferred until 'send' is pressed, or maybe they just take a little 
while).

The big problem is that with the sometimes unreliable budgetone keyboard 
you tend to lose the call due to mistyped numbers.  To avoid this you 
could create some catch-all extensions that automatically forward calls 
back to reception (or your voicemail system).  Something like:

exten = _[0-9],1,Goto(s,1)
exten = _[0-9][0-9],1,Goto(s,1)
Unfortunately this then prevents you from using # in such a way that it 
warns you if you type an invalid extension.

This sort of system could be further improved.  You could set an 
extension number variable on incoming calls to record the extension 
which answered the call.  Then when a call is transferred to an 
otherwise invalid extension you wait a few seconds (give them time to 
put the phone down) and then call the extension number given in the 
variable.  I leave this as an exercise to the reader ;-)

[Asterisk-Users] app_sql_postgres doesn't clean up

2004-02-19 Thread Michael T Farnworth
I am currently looking at using the app_sql_postgres.c stuff, but it 
almost immediately occurred to me that there is no way of guaranteeing 
that the whole of the extension code will be executed. As a result I 
also can't be sure that the postgresql connections will actually be closed.

I realise that if I clump together all the PGSQL stuff at the start it 
should hopefully be able to execute quickly before the user hangs up, 
but this isn't exactly reliable.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to avoid this problem?

[Asterisk-Users] Jitter Buffer Configuration (typo in iax.conf)

2004-02-12 Thread Michael T Farnworth
I had noticed that the jitterbuffer settings under Asterisk didn't seem to
work very well, then I noticed that there was a typo in my iax.conf file
where I had:

maxexccessbuffer=750

which should have been

maxexcessbuffer=750

I have just realised that I didn't make this typo, it is actually a typo
in the sample iax.conf file which is provided with Asterisk.  People might
want to take a look at their own settings and check if you have the same
problem!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Best SIP PHones to buy ?

2003-12-20 Thread Michael T Farnworth
On Sat, 20 Dec 2003, Carlos Arnt wrote:

 I wanna buy a Sip Phone, but what is the best and cheap one ?
 
 I see alot of messages about, grandstream , snow etc etc.

We have bought around 30 Grandstream phones, both BT101 and BT102.  In
general the phone is reasonable, but it does have limitations.  Notable
issues for users tend to be the lack of any sort of consultative transfer
or easy access to conference calling.  Also its 'call waiting' facility is
a rather annoying and loud normal ringing noise, rather than the usual
'beep beep' that people are probably used to and you can't disable the
call waiting feature.  Entering numbers also has problems as if you dial
too quickly you tend to lose digits, even if you heard the tones and saw
them appear on the display.

We just bought a Snom200 which is a lot more expensive, but you do get
what you pay for.  It has a better display which copes with caller name as
well as caller number, has consultative transfer, conference calling, no
problems with losing digits when dialling and a normal 'call waiting'
beep.  It also has a host of other features, but we haven't used it long
enough to find any problems as yet.

I don't know what the Snom105 is like, but if it is anywhere near as good 
as the Snom200 it may be a good alternative to the BT101/2.

 Can him be used behind a nat system etc ?

Both the Snom200 and BT101/2 have settings for use behind NAT.

[Asterisk-Users] CAPI Calls Don't Bridge

2003-12-18 Thread Michael T Farnworth
I had a working configuration whereby an incoming call on an ISDN line 
would be sent out on the second ISDN line, but since I updated to the 
latest version of Asterisk I get this error message:

WARNING[311315]: File res_parking.c, Line 226 (ast_bridge_call): Bridge 
failed on channels CAPI[contr1/s]/0 and CAPI[contr1/01624619052]/1

The message comes up as soon as the outgoing call is answered and the call
is lost.  I have switched to sending the outgoing call using an IAX 
connection and that does not have the problem.

I am also getting this error message (just before the other one), which I
don't recall seeing previously:

WARNING[311315]: File channel.c, Line 1296 (do_senddigit): Unable to 
handle DTMF tone 'f' for 'CAPI[contr1/s]/0'

[Asterisk-Users] SIP Inuse Count Wrong

2003-12-18 Thread Michael T Farnworth
I am currently using a copy of Asterisk checked out as the code of 10 days 
ago from Asterisk and the:

sip show inuse

reports that I have 3 incoming connections to one of the Grandstream 
phones, even though that isn't the case.

I believe I have tracked the problem down to the following error message, 
which also (conveniently) showed up 3 times:

-- Got SIP response 481  back from 192.168.252.101

Incidentally I am using the code from 10 days ago because as explained 
earlier today the CAPI support with the current Asterisk is unable to 
do a native bridge between two CAPI calls (instead it just drops both 
calls).

Incidentally am I sending this report to the right mailing list, or is 
there a better one?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] CTI/TAPI

2003-12-02 Thread Michael T Farnworth
I think we need to look carefully at the situation here.  We all know that
training on complex specialist products can often come in at between
2-4,000USD per week per individual (certainly this is my commercial
experience).  However normally when I go on a training course there are
around 10 other people in the class at least, which amounts to
20-40,000USD for the week of training.

It may well be that the company offering the training could use their
trainer for instructing a group of 10 people instead, in which case
offering the training for less than 20,000USD would result in a loss of 
revenue.

The figure may sound ridiculous, but it might just reflect commercial 
reality.

With that file present it continued to stutter the dialtone.  After I

 its not where you ARE, its where you're calling... NANPA gives you access

I really meant it is a little strange to put somebody who lives outside
the US in a context which means they can only call US numbers, because 
they will almost certainly need to make calls to non-US numbers.

I do want to make some US calls, but I did also request, and receive, a
copy of the rates for all countries.  If nothing else that was a very
strong indicator that international calls were on my mind.

Even the NANPA context leaves me at my own peril, but I guess it would
take somebody longer to use up my money.  Of course I would be able to
watch out for this if the Subscriber Management System link didn't give me
the message 'nothing to see here'.  I don't suppose you know where account

By the way, what is jerjer, some sort of play on the name Jeremy McNamara,

It is possible you have a sticky tag or date set on your CVS checkout.  

Try taking a look at the output of:

In PHP functions and classes are defined in a more conventional way, none

Perl feels like it was more carefully thought out.  Everything is done in

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Is the X100P a WinModem?

2003-10-23 Thread Michael T Farnworth
Linux benefits from the fact that it runs on very common hardware and you
get commodity prices for most parts of an Asterisk system, and the 
software is free.

Quite honestly the X100P cards cost peanuts for what is a effectively a
specialist item.  If they cost $10 it wouldn't be financially viable to
produce because the market is too small.  10 years ago ethernet cards were
more expensive and it was only massive takeup that reduced them to their
current prices.  If there was a big market you can be sure that somebody 
would start to produce cheap cards.

If somebody out there wants to develop their own hardware/drivers then I
am sure nobody will stand in their way.  Personally I will stick with the
hardware and drivers produced by people who really understand Asterisk,
and be grateful for them.

 http == hyper text transport protocol
 
 tftp == trivial FILE trasfer protocol

Based on this definition we could suggest that the web should only consist 
of a few html files as a jpeg clearly isn't hypertext.

I suspect the reason HTTP was proposed is that almost everybody who runs a
network will know about it, and we must also remember that almost every
Unix OS is likely to come with a pre-installed and configured webserver,
on the other hand tftp is almost always going to be disabled and need
configuring.

HTTP is trivial to implement on the client side, you simply send a line
like:

GET /someconfig.txt HTTP/1.0

You then read the input until you get to a blank line, then the file
follows that.  It isn't hard to write a simple http daemon if people are
looking for a small footprint, in fact I am sure such things do exist.  
You could even write a http daemon using tcp_wrappers and a few lines of
shell script if hard pressed.

I suspect tftp probably has a simple protocol too.  Maybe support could be
added for http as well as tftp.

I take this back, as a protocol tftp is hideously complex compared to 
http and would take a lot more code.

However tftp is based on tcp rather than udp so it requires less complex
networking support.

Amusingly though SIP has a lot in common with HTTP, so maybe half the work
is done already, so much so that in one of the SIP RFC's they even go so
far as to say ...

Except for the above difference in character sets, much of the
message syntax is and header fields are identical to HTTP/1.1; rather
than repeating the syntax and semantics here we use [HX.Y] to refer
to Section X.Y of the current HTTP/1.1 specification (RFC 2068 [11]).

However they do also point out that:

Unlike HTTP, SIP MAY use UDP.

In fact I believe a SIP client doesn't have to support TCP, but
fortunately I believe the Grandstream does.

Feel free to point out errors in this brief bit of research.

There might be lots more options for http (if you want to use them), but
using http in its simplest form is easy.  You can do a http request using
telnet and typing a single line.  I doubt that is possible with tftp (even

It just struck me that the easiest improvement would be to drop the name
BudgeTone, because 'Budget' tends to imply cheap, which in turn suggests
poor quality. The phones need a name which implies 'High Quality'.

The current name resulted in my wife bursting into laughter and saying 'I

The Grandstream seems to have a strange method of working when it comes to
speakerphone.  I would expect the speakerphone button to just switch on
and off the speaker, however it doesn't.  If during a call you switch on
the speaker then if you press th speakerphone button again to switch it
off it hangs up the phone.  However if you put the phone down instead and
then pick it up again the speaker goes off and the call remains connected.

The cable goes into the phone and then out of the phone into the computer.  
That switch in the phone is 10Mbit so the computer ends up on 10Mbit too.  
Perhaps the best way to avoid this is to join all the phones together 
since they are all 10Mbit anyway, so you will then just need one extra 
ethernet socket in the room for all the telephones.

 How would you be able to connect all phones in a room to one socket?  The
 Ethernet specificiation has a limit to the number of hubs/switches that

 connect all phones to one socket would be to daisy chain them.  This would
 not be a good solution since:
 - all phones would use the same 10mbps segment, chances for collisions
   would be high
 - rules of Ethernet would be violated so even if it did work it may stop
   at any point with some other normally minor change.

I defer to your knowledge in this area, but I would be interested to know 
what the limit is in terms of the number of devices that can be put 
inline.

On the subject of collisions it seems to me that individual phone
bandwidth use is relatively limited when compared to the 10Mbit/s
available, so would the problem really be that substantial?

Personally I currently have:

Hub - Phone - Phone - Laptop

No visible problems here, so certainly 3 phones in a line would seem to 
work.  I suppose it all comes down to how many phones you put in a line.

could actually put the incoming call, allow me to dial and then speak to a

 In many cases, that's a bad assumption, but it depends on your config.

As I said in the part of my original email which has been cut out:

I suppose this would only be possible where the SIP phones weren't doing
a native bridge between themselves though.

 Unless you've purposefully configured something different, asterisk is
 not in the middle. Once a call is established, the communications
 (packet flows) happen directly between the two sip phones and does not
 pass through asterisk. So the problem becomes an issue of the phone
 itself. What has the phone been programmed to do when any key has
 been pressed (regardless of whether its the # key or something else)?

Certain parts of the operation must go via asterisk though even when there
is a native bridge, because when I press the # key asterisk starts to play
music to the other telephone and announces to the other phone that it is
about to do a transfer.  My question is whether more could be done at that
point to have an attended transfer.

 The discussion suggests the Grandstream phones have not been programmed
 to handle transfers. (I don't have one therefore I don't have a clue as
 to whether that happens to be the result of the vendor, or the person
 that has implemented the phone doesn't have the knowledge or documentation
 to do it.)

They have a transfer button and can do a blind transfer.  I am really 
looking for a way to convince Asterisk to do the following in a much 
easier way:

A calls B
B parks the calls from A
B puts down the phone and picks it up again and calls C
C says he/she will take the call
B tells C where the call is parked
C puts down the phone and picks up the phone and dials the parked call

or

A calls B
B parks teh call from A
B puts down the phone and picks it up again and calls C
C says he/she will not take the call

Asterisk running on anything lower spec than this?

 Hello, 
 
 I've been playing around with * for quite a while now, and have run into a 
 problem that I just cannot seem to figure out. 
 
 When using * and any IAX client (I have tested with GnoPhone and both 
 clients from iaxclient.sourceforge.net) I have incredibly bad jitter on the 
 connection. 
 
 What I'm running is a P3-1Ghz machine with 512mb ram for a server.  The 
 other end has been various machines (all connected via 100mb switch) ranging 
 from a AMD K6-2 350 running Win98 to another P3-1Ghz running RH Linux 9.0 
 and GnoPhone. 
 
 I've tried changing the jitterbuffer settings in iax.conf (including turning 
 it off as I've seen some recommendations on the archives) and I've even 
 tried rebuilding zaptel with the various jitter control switches. 
 
 At this point I have extension 8500 setup to take me to voicemailmain.  When 
 I connect (IAX only - I do not have any Digium cards in the server at all) I 
 can generaly not tell what is being said at all.  I've used sox and a player 
 and know that the .gsm files are okay. 
 
 Anybody have any suggestions of what to try?   So far this has been 
 something I've been playing with before I attempt to put it in a production 
 system, but so far am not having a whole lot of luck. 
 
 I've not been able to try SIP as of yet, as I've not found a softclient and 
 the application I will be using * for would require this. 
 
 Thanks,
 Mike Atkinson

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone else use Audacity for prompts?

2003-10-06 Thread Michael T Farnworth
I have had been recording my gsm files by getting through to the Asterisk
answering service using a GrandStream BudgeTone 102 phone.  I then copy
the file which is stored in voicemail and use sox to increase the volume.  
Results are okay but nothing to write home about particularly (or maybe 
that is just my lack of a good telephone voice).

  What are you using to convert the wav files to gsm? I've been using 'sox'
  under Linux and have had no quality issues whatsoever.
  
  An example line to convert:
  
  sox file.wav -r 8000 -c 1 file.gsm
  
 
 That's the exact command I'm using, but it sure does sound crappy to my 
 ears.
 
 Perhaps that's the best I can do w/gsm, and of course I expect once the 
 sound is sent through the PSTN most of the highs and bottom are gone 
 anyways.
 
 I was just hoping there was something I could do to make the resulting 
 files a bit clearer.
 
 Thx.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Grandstream 102

2003-10-05 Thread Michael T Farnworth
Typically you run a cable into the phone, then a cable out of the phone 
into the computer, it appears to just be a bridge.  It also works fine to 
run the cable into the phone and then a cable into another phone and then 
into a computer.

 Sorry about this off-topic question... I want to know if the second ethernet port on 
 the Grandstream 102 phone works as a bridge to connect from there to a PC. Do 
 I need two ethernet jacks to connect a phone and a PC, or this phone let me connect 
 both with only one? Thanks in advance!

  Hi,
  
  I've found this thread in the archives and am currently planning to
  connect my digium kit to a BT landline and also connect a normal UK

  the answers.
  
  My question is - do I need a modtap (listed at maplin.co.uk as BT to
  RJ45 adapters) full master with line protection, pabx master without
  line protection or a pabx slave socket. --or-- can I just use a
  straight-thru rj11 cable for the handset and a straight-thru rj11bt
  modem cable for the line?
 
 I used a simple converter for BT to RJ45 that came with an old modem, it 
 seems to work fine.  I tried plugging in a handset cable and it didn't 
 work, in fact phones elsewhere in the house started ringing in a manic 
 way.

[Asterisk-Users] Core dumps from Asterisk

Got 3 core dumps from asterisk in a very short period of time, not sure
what was going on, but I am posting these in case anybody wants to see
them, if you want to see more info I can provide it on request.

I am using the asterisk 0.5.0 download.

 he mentioned he was using the asterisk 0.5.0 download though.  surely this 
 means we should update the 0.5.0 release to solve these problems?
 
 can you confirm that it was the asterisk-0.5.0.tar.gz file install that 
 caused these segfaults?

It was, I just downloaded the tar file, I haven't touched CVS.  I assume
the tar file is intended to be the latest stable version, unlike a CVS
checkout which would give me a development version?

Thanks,

[Asterisk-Users] Flash and Call Transfer

2003-09-28 Thread Michael T Farnworth
I am new to asterisk and have been playing with it for just a few days.

The GrandStream BudgeTone-102 equipment I have allows me to do a blind 
transfer, but I am interested to know how to do something which isn't 
blind.

I have managed to enable the call parking which allows me to send a call 
to extension 700 for somebody to collect, but it still seems rather 
awkward.

I also have problems with the 'flash' button, nothing seems to happen when
I press it.  Strangely though the flash button did start working at one
point and I was able to switch between two different calls using it, but
rebooting the phones seemed to result in it not working anymore?

I would be delighted to read any documentation, but I am struggling to 
find anything that refers to these issues.  I have seen handbook version 
2, is there anything else I am missing?

Many thanks,
Michael
