Hello all,


Given the requirements above, what's a cheap but working PCIe card / USB

Thanks in advance,

I would get hold of some lower-power hardware, that system seems hugely 
over-specified for what you want to do.


A raspberry pi  a Cisco SPA-3102 would be a good solution.  Cisco don't 
make the 3102 any more but there are still plenty of them around.  I 
believe Grandstream still make ATAs as well but I've never thought very 
highly of them.  As others have said, it's an FXO port you need.


You want to avoid transcoding on low power hardware such as a raspberry 
pi so set everything for a codec such as g711a or g711u (Asterisk, the 
IP phones you use and the SPA3102).

Apologies for replying to my own post but I since found this:

https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-23084

and after testing it turns out that even though asterisk -rx always 
shows the warning, the command is still executed so no where near as bad 
a problem as I initially thought.


I guess the live_dangerously setting wont eventually have an affect on 
asterisk -rx (it doesn't really make any sense to since if someone is 
already in as root then you are screwed!).

We've been using the Siemens Gigaset 685IP range for over three years

The current generation is the N300 or N300A (A = with answering 
machine).  These have the advantage of being able to do 3 SIP calls at 
once.  You also don't get a handset with it so you can choose whatever 
handset you want (in theory doesn't even have to be a Gigaset handset as 
long as it is GAP compatible but you'll have a better time if you do use 
Gigaset ones, or at least one).


These definitely work well with Asterisk for me.

So if you really need 6 calls at once then you can get 2 base stations 
and 6 handsets.  If you can live with 6 handsets but only 3 of them in 
use at once, then a single base will do the job.


cheers,
Paul.

I have had much, much worse problems with pickup in previous versions of

This issue doesn't really seem to cause any problems other than some

It's not just a snom/asterisk thing.  I can replicate this with various 
phones and Asterisk 1.8.5.  In fact with some phones the symptoms seemed 
worse where the phone *8 had been dialled on didn't hang up but thought 
it was on a call (while the caller had gone through to whatever the next 
dial plan priority was, a Queue in my test case).


It makes perfect sense to me that a pickup should fail if your Dial has 
finished and * is stepping onto the next priority but a nicer Warning 
such as Trying to pickup a non-existent channel would be better.


My test code was simply this:

exten = 123321,1,Dial(SIP/5502,5)
  same = n,Answer
  same = n,Wait(1)
  same = n,Queue(booking,thHr)

If you time the *8 just right so it is being handled during the end of 
the Dial then I got:

If it is the Asterisk system coming online too early causing problems on

In some UPS you can set delays for various sockets on them.  Designed

+1 to Paul on this.

Security is Job #1 for any IT professional.  If you don't implement IDS,
Firewalls, Fail2Ban, etc. you only have yourself to blame.  Whether the
target is Asterisk, or some old version of Apache, MySQL, or some
vulnerability in Linux Kernel, etc. the hackers want a way in.  Its YOUR
JOB to secure your server.

Even if Asterisk built some heavy security into their software, it would
probably get in the way of us folk that have legitimate need for other
functionality.  Security is one of those things that most programmers
think of as either an after-thought, or some constraint/expense that
they don't want to deal with.  The problem is that it should be the
FIRST thing IT folk think of before putting the technology online.

Anyway enough ranting...  Well said Paul.

Then I don't understand what the point would be.  You'll have to leave 
Asterisk responding to all Register requests (and to be fair all the

I use OSSEC on my Asterisk systems to handle iptables rule generation on

with the film crew guys setting up the kit but unfortunately didn't get 
to meet the rather nice woman who presents the show - they filmed that 
part another day and edited it all together.


Anyway, I don't really see that this is particularly unique, I also know 
of companies who already make GSM/3G door entry devices too although 
they are generally aimed at the business market rather than for home use 
(pricing  design reflects this).

Replied to list so others can find this in the future if they want to.

I haven't spent a lot of time investigating fail2ban as I was already 
using ossec before I saw much talk about fail2ban with Asterisk.


Anyway as far as I can see my main advantage is that OSSEC has multiple 
levels of incidents.  So I can create rules to send emails out for 
unusual activity that might not necessarily require an IP block but 
needs checking out.


My fear with something that just watches Asterisk logs for a very 
specific known attack metric and then blocks IP(s) based on that is what 
happens when the attackers start doing something different?


Fail2ban may well do all this as well, I don't know but I find OSSEC 
does it very well and the XML rules and log decoders are very versatile.


cheers,
Paul.

Hello,

I am wondering how to send a call to a specific IP address that is
different than the host of the URI.  For example, an invite to the URI
is j...@phone.com mailto:j...@phone.com needs to be sent to the IP
address 123.456.789.255, not to the IP address of phone.com
http://phone.com.

How is this done?

Thanks,

Unless I'm misunderstanding the question, the owner of phone.com 
should use DNS SRV records to advertise where to send SIP traffic to if 
it is not the same as the A record for phone.com.


E.G.

paul@barney:~$ host provu.co.uk
provu.co.uk has address 81.187.73.2

paul@barney:~$ host -t SRV _sip._udp.provu.co.uk

Re: [asterisk-users] SIP per-call heartbeat?

2011-05-24 Thread Paul Hayes

On 24/05/11 12:08, Tony Mountifield wrote:


OK, thanks. Sounds like there was some kind of issue at the ITSP then.



I have seen this happen with broken SIP-ALGs in routers too.  The ITSP 
sends the BYE but for some reason a broken SIP ALG will not deliver the 
packet to the right place.  The ITSP will resend the BYE several times 
if they don't receive the responding OK message (or some error such as 
481 etc) but after a few attempts it's pointless them continuing.



Since SIP is UDP, this situation must occur from time to time, and I
wondered if it is possible to configure any kind of per-call SIP
heartbeat so that a dead call could automatically be identified with a
481 response much sooner.


SIP session timers is what you need for that. Implemented in Asterisk 1.8.


That's useful to know. Planning on moving from 1.2 to 1.8 over the next
few months.



Setting absolute timeouts on all calls might help too:

http://www.the-asterisk-book.com/unstable/funktionen-timeout.html

Although it's a bit of a balancing act, it can be used to limit these 
things to a couple of hours rather than having stuck calls going on 
for days.



cheers,
Paul.

don't get me wrong, I use AMD almost exclusively in my desktop PCs.

For the record most Asterisk systems I build are currently using Intel 
Atom hardware but also some PowerPC.

I think this attitude is half the problem.  Asterisk is not a desktop 
computer operating system.  It is the engine for a telephone system, a 
telephone system needs to be much more reliable than a desktop PC if it 
is going to continue to compete in a growing industry.


I agree with the comments on concentrating more on stability than new 
features.  It's hard because it is new features that make good stories 
and are easier to shout about in order to get a product better known.


For now I am sticking with 1.4 mainly (although I am using 1.6 where I 
need BRI connectivity) but my plan is to move to 1.8 when I feel I have 
tested it enough and it's been around for long enough to be proven.

Not that it applies but I recently installed a Snom M3 and it seems to
behave like you want. When I walk out of range and then back in the call

Ira



The difference here is that the M3 is a DECT phone.  So the SIP leg of 
the call terminates on the base station itself.  If the handset goes out 
of range of the base then the base can decide to just keep the call 
going.  Wifi is a bit different because Asterisk will see the RTP stream 
stop and qualifies being lost.  There are probably work arounds but 
personally I believe DECT is a far superior protocol for voice and 
hand-over usually works better.

When I look at the SIP trace, but I see is the Aastra sending a

The problem occured when I DID upgrade it!  Precisely to the one
you mentioned.


OK, I just wasn't sure if it was precisely 3.2.1.43 you had.

In that case it suggests it is some setting you have applied to the 
phones that is causing it.  Can you post the local.cfg  server.cfg 
files from the phone (removing the passwords from there first)?





Or turning off qualify for this peer might work-around it for you.


I'm sure it would, but all peers are those phones, so that's not an
acceptable workaround.


But it might allow your users to make phone calls while you fix the 
issue properly.

even if you get the file with passwords and the code that checks them, it would 
be difficult to find a collision (a password that matches the hash). This is 
the way in which apache, for example, stores passwords (see htpasswd).

In order to maintain compatibility, the configurarion could be

Dear mailing list,

I've a Asterisk 1.4.21.2~dfsg-3+lenny1 package installed on my debian

After some days running normally, my asterisk is under heavy attack,
however, there is nothing logged in the console (logging from debug -

I can see that there is also a peak on the network traffic.

My first guess is that I'm suffering from a SIP registration DoS, but,
as there is nothing logged about a not matching peer or incorrect
password logged to file, my fail2ban script is not blocking the
attacker.

I normally restarts Asterisk and logs are restarting to log attacks,
but, today, it's not working

FYI, I've checked and my loggers are not muted and the logging level
is at least notice. I've also reloaded my loggers but no effect.

Do you already have experienced such situation ? Is there any known
issue with logging module stopping while Asterisk is DoS'ed ?

Best regards,

It's possible that fail2ban has already blocked the incoming 
registration attempts but the attacker is still blindly sending packets 
to you.


Often a sign the attacker is using an old version of sip-vicious, you 
can often stop such things by using the svcrash.py script they now 
provide.


Check your iptables logs.

 Hello all. I was recently the victim of a SIP flood attack. I'm

do one of the following:

- use deny  permit lines in sip.conf /or iax.conf to restrict any 
remote Registrations from known IP address ranges only.  Or use iptables 
rules to do something similar.

- use a log scanning tool such as fail2ban or ossec which can react on 
multiple registration fails and block ip addresses in iptables

- enforce strict password policy on all users on the system

I think simply relying on alwaysauthreject is very dangerous as it's 
only a matter of time before the attackers catch on to this and carry on 
attacking regardless.  Sure there's less chance of them getting a 
correct username/secret combination but in the meantime, the register 
attempts are practically a DoS attack.  Plus that setting further breaks 
the SIP RFC.

I also think that assuming that the attackers will eventually get in one 
way or another is wise.  So put in place appropriate measures to limit 
the damage they can do (daily spend limits with SIP providers, blocking 
international and/or premium rate numbers etc...).

cheers,

 ... using it as a tool and understanding what it does...

 So one part of it's toolset identifys valid SIP accounts - and I was under
 the impression that alwaysauthreject=yes was supposed to stop this...

 However, it sends a request for a highly probably non-existent account,
 then sends requests for probably existing accounts and I guess compares
 the results - account not found vs. bad username or password... It thus
 trivially, and very quickly finds valid accounts when fed with a list of
 accounts to try in the first place (e.g. 100-999, or 1000-, etc.)

 I wonder if it's time to introduce yet another parameter  to it - which
 will cause asterisk to return the same error code for all 3 conditions -
 and return the not found error, even on bad username or password.

 It breaks the RFC even more, but might it be worth it?

 (I've just had 30GB of sipvicious traffic sent to my hosted servers in a
 12-hour period - it came from what looked like a VPS host in France -
 trivially firewalled out, but even dropping the packets didn't stop the
 flood! It's so badly written it appears to just ignore any return codes
 that it doesn't want, or even no returns at all!)

 Gordon

I've been playing with this a fair bit recently too, if only to gain 
myself a better understanding of the attacks so as to be able to prevent 
them better.

I found that when sending Registers to Asterisk (I was testing with 1.4 
since all my deployments are 1.4), alwaysauthreject does actually stop 
it from being able to determine real extension numbers.  However I also 
found that making it send Invite requests means it can determine real 
extensions that are currently Registered.

I've been using OSSEC to block source IPs that attacks come from.  So 
far it seems to work well.  Once you start silently dropping the inbound 
SIP traffic from the attacker they seem to go away very quickly (once 
the door is shut, no point them carrying on).  I'm yet to see a more 
intelligent attack using distributed source IPs but I'm sure it'll 
happen.  The scans I see happening usually come from random dynamic DSL 
addresses and the like from all over the place (inc within the UK) so I 
suspect these are virus infected zombies, so a distributed attack is 
surely easily possible.

Something else I noticed is that once OSSEC is doing it's job (or 
whatever other automatic blocking script you use), the attacks stop.  I 
have my systems set up to email me when an attack is blocked and after a 
few days, the attacks stop.  Which I interpret as a sign that attackers 
are maintaining lists of known vulnerable IP addresses, which is common 
for things like ssh attacks, spam relays etc...

I don't believe modifying Asterisk code to send non-RFC compliant relies 
is a good idea, I prefer the security layer to be handled by something 
else on top of Asterisk.

I have also seen attacks exploiting bugs in Asterisk too, I'm not going 
to go into them here for obvious reasons but I guess these types of 
attacks will get more commonplace once people start getting a bit wiser 
to the current fairly basic port scan and extension enumeration attacks.

Paul.

+1 for Atom based systems.  I use them too (although we build the

 MD

Any of the Atom CPU systems will /easily/ handle 25 concurrent calls 
(and with a 25 extension system, 25 concurrent calls is very unlikely). 
  I use the single core Atom 230 CPUs for systems of this size. 
Something to bear in mind is how the system will be used, max concurrent 
calls isn't really that great a performance factor, call arrival rates 
are more relevant, the CPU time is spent setting up and tearing down 
calls.  Simply having calls in progress with no transcoding uses a tiny 
amount of CPU in comparison to the work involved setting up and routing 
a new call.

Robert Lister wrote:
 Hello,
 
 I think I have encountered an odd bug in Siemens C460 IP/dect handsets, 
 which is a bit annoying, and I'm not (yet) sure how to get round it without 
 lots of hacks.
 
 Basically, on all external incoming calls, we set:
 
 exten = s,n,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: Bellcore-dr2)
 
 This causes handsets (i.e. Cisco 7960 / Grandstream / aastra) to set a 
 different ring cadence so to differentiate between external and internal 
 calls.
 
 Other handsets that do not support Alert-Info: just ignore the presence 
 of this header.
 
 When this header is set in a call to the C460 IP, it does not alert, in fact 
 it does not respond to any INVITE requests; asterisk just retries the 
 requests a few times and then gives up.
 
 Anyone able to reproduce?  I have firmware version 0107 / 041.00
 
 I suppose as a workaround I could add an astDB entry for these extensions, 
 and a bit of logic in the dialplan to tell asterisk not to add the header 
 for extensions that have that flag set.
 
 
 Regards,
 
 
 
 Rob
 
 

I can replicate this behaviour too using an S450IP when an Alert-Info 
header is present.  I have reported the issue to Siemens so hopefully 
this will be fixed in a firmware update in the near future.

cheers,
Paul.

 Yes.  For the price of one of those multi-port injectors, you can come
 close to the price of a new Netgear or 3Com PoE switch.  The injectors
 typically add power to the unused pairs (mode B PoE).  This means you
 can't use them on anything better than fastethernet.  When switches do
 PoE natively, they put the power on the data carrying pairs (mode A
 PoE), so they can do gigabit ethernet.  I think PowerDsine makes a PoE

[asterisk-users] blind transfer on hook-flash from SIP phone

2007-07-18 Thread Paul Hayes
Hi,

I have a SIP phone which does not natively support SIP transfers (REFER 
etc...).  So far all that is possible is to enable blind transfers using 
the t and T arguments in Dial from the # DTMF key.  The phone has an R 
button on it and this can be setup to either send an RFC2833 hook flash 
message (value 16) or a SIP INFO message which you can edit the contents 
of (since there seems to be no standard way of signalling a hook flash 
in SIP INFO).

However, Asterisk ignores the hook flash messages and I can't find 
anyway of getting it to treat the hook flash message in the same way as 
a # being sent.

The only information I can find relates to detecting or sending hook 
flashes on zap channels.

That's a terrible phone.  I've tried them.  the screen is pretty much

I have to disagree on at least one point here - Battery life. I don't

horrible battery life.


The F1000G has other faillings, but battery life isn't one of them!

If you compare this battery life to a decent DECT phone, it's still 
miserable.
I'm used to these dect phones : 
http://www.bang-olufsen.com/UserFiles/File/Products/Technical%20Specifications/BeoCom6000_en.pdf 




[snip]

It's not really a fair comparison though, DECT was designed from the 
offset to be used with portable phones on low-power batteries.  Wifi was 
never designed for this so it's comparatively power hungry.  The F1000G 
in my opinion is still pretty good battery life for a wifi phone, I've 
seen some that will not last a day in standby.


Looking at the OP's requirements list in the first post, there is 
nothing currently on the market which will cover anything like all those 
features (and do it well!).


I've currently got several Nokia Wifi/GSM phones sat on my desk, they 
are difficult to configure and very quirky, frankly not even good enough 
to be considered a techie's toy.  I am told 3rd party softphone 
clients such as TruPhone work a lot better than the built-in SIP client 
but I'm yet to test any of these.  The main problem is they have a habit 
of constantly losing connection with my access points.  Even the F1000G 
and F3000 phones I have here don't do that.


I'm yet to be convinced that wifi in it's current state is any use for 
telephony at all.  DECT works so much better, it just needs someone to 
make a fully functioning SIP DECT phone.  The Siemens is good but they 
need to work on more SIP functions, although proper transfers should be 
possible soon.


I also have some Philips DECT SIP equipment next to my desk to look at

Hello!

Sorry for the OT-thread, but i don't know where else too ask...
Has anyone done http-provisioning of a Linksys SPA942 with client side
ssl-authentication? Where do i get the CA from?
I'm aware of the Sipura mass deployment howto on voip-info.org, but it
doesn't cover the authentification part. 


Thanks
Christian


You get the server certificate from Linksys.  You'll need to be a 
reseller or service provider though, or the reseller/service provider 
you buy from may be able to request one on your behalf.  You need to use 
something like OpenSSL to generate a CSR to send to Linksys.


cheers,
Paul.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Development news :: T38 passthrough support

2006-03-15 Thread Paul Hayes




The SPA-2100 is the only one to support T.38 at the moment though.
SPA-2002 has the ability to support t.38 (i.e. it has the processing
power required) but the firmware support isn't there yet.

  Friends in the Asterisk.org community,

There is a lot of cool stuff going on in Asterisk development, things
that will change Asterisk and
make it work better in your organisation, make it easier to sell in
your area or give you more
consulting oppurtunities - in short, functionality that will make a  lot
of sense for you users.

However, developers can't really get anywhere without a dialog with  the
users. You know
what you need, you know what is missing and how you would like to  make
Asterisk a better
choice.

I am planning to send out a description of new features now and  then,
to inform you about
what is going on, but also to get some feedback. The bug tracker is  not
only a tool for developers,
but also for testers and users to react to changes and contribute.

*** ITU T.38 -- Fax over VoIP

  

Olle,

Let's say that I wanted to setup a complete environment to test this.
I presume that I would need the following:

Fax machine
T.38 compliant ATA (Sipura claims this)
Asterisk server
T.38 compliant something - does this need to be a Cisco 5300 (or
similar)?  Can it be just another plain ATA and fax machine?


  
  
Another ATA like the SPA line should work on the second end as well.

  
  
Please suggest some possible hardware!

Thanks!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] dipura 2002 auto dial or intercom

2006-03-15 Thread Paul Hayes
This called hot line or batphone (as it's like the phone the 
commissioner used to have in Batman that went straight through to Bruce 
Wayne).


Set the dialplan to this:

(S0:#)

where  is the number/SIP address you want to dial.  Note, that's 
a zero after the S.




Anton Krall wrote:


Guys.

Anybody using sipuras 2002 knows if there is a way to make the phones
connected to it to autodial an extension when the phone is picked up?

For example, if the phone is on a police booth (building entrance) and you
want the guys to just pick up the phone and make the phone auto dial the
receptionist extension without the guys having to dial anything (ala
batphone).

Is this possible with spa's?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] SPA-3000: Dual Registrations?

Are you trying to register both lines to the same user account in *?
That wont work, a user can only be registered once at any time.

I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who has successfully gotten 
an SPA-3000 to register, as its documentation would indicate, on both 
ports 5060 (for standard client FXS service) and 5061 (for the purpose 
of originating calls via SIP from the PSTN interface on the box).

I can get one or the other to register, but with the current firmware
(3.1.7) so far I haven't been able to get both.  The second ones gives 
me an error:

chan_sip.c:10823 handle_request_register: Registration from 
'sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' failed for '192.168.1.113' - Username/auth 
name mismatch

I have checked the settings 1000 times; spa3000 is what I have in both 
the SIP "stanza" name as well as the "username" parameter, and that is 
the name I'm using in the SPA config screen for "User"

It works all right, even though, according to the average of the many 
conflicting explanations as to how these things are to be configured, 
it shouldn't.

  
  
Yes, have had it working through many sipura firmware updates including the
latest, and through many cvs-head updates over the last year or so.

I'm out of town today and can't supply any sample config info, but it was
very straight forward. I used different userid/secrets for the two
registrations.

Multiple associates and isp's (that I assist) also have it working fine.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone using Parlay VoXip SIP Gateway with Asterisk ?

Voxtream support team are excellent though  I'm sure they'll help

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Linksys PAP2: supported codecs

2005-11-14 Thread Paul Hayes




yes that's what i'm lead to believe as well. Only the SPA-2100 
SPA-2002 support two simultaneous g.729 calls, the older/lesser models
don't have the processing power required to encode two g.729 streams.

Rich Adamson wrote:

  
I don't think they want to solve it. It's the same with the Sipura boxes.
Only SPA 2100 supports 2 G729 sessions.


  
  
The archives suggest the original models didn't have enough processing
power to handle the compute-intensive g729 codec. I'd have to guess
that is a correct assessment from what I've seen.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Sipura 2000

2005-11-09 Thread Paul Hayes
You could get in touch with the company who is providing the settings 
for the Sipura adaptor (should be able to find out who it is from the 
Settings URL)  ask them to change the settings to be user-changable.  
The permissions for each setting is configured through the http 
configuration  it sounds like they have yours all set to be read only 
by the user. 




I followed your steps to the letter but after resetting to factory 
defaults

unfortunately it still doesn't record the configuration changes I do.

2005/11/9, Adam Moffett [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 


If you unplug the ethernet cable on a Sipura SPA and then reset the
power it'll boot up in a diagnostic mode.  When you pick up the phone
that's connected to it you'll get a dialtone and there are speical 
codes

you can dial to do various things.

Reset it to factory defaults by dialing  followed by 73738#
full instructions are here:
http://www.sipura.com/Documents/faq/Section_3.html#4

Once you do that the provisioning enable should be no and you can
reconfigure the device however it needs to be.

  


Hi,

Thanks for your response.

I checked the setting, and indeed it was set to yes. However, once I
change it to no and click on apply but after rebooting it's 
enabled

again (with all settings reverted to factory defaults, as usual).

Maxi.

2005/11/8, Rusty Dekema [EMAIL PROTECTED]:




It's possible that your SPA-2000 is set up to read a configuration 
file from
a remote host every time it boots up, which would overwrite any 
changes you
make. If you log in as admin and go to the advanced view, there is 
an option
under the Provisioning tab called Provision Enable. Make sure that 
this is

set to no and your changes should remain in place.

Hello,

I have a problem with my Sipura 2000.
The problem is that it does not accept any change in the 
configuration.


When I access to it, via browser or phone, and make any change, 
after
clicking submit all changes all the changes I made dissapear 
and teh

configuration remains with the original parameters.

So I need to know how can I work it out.

Thank you very much.
