Re: [Asterisk-Users] 3 Phone Call Qualtiy Issues

2005-12-21 Thread Rhonda Herron

Hi, Thanks for the reply...

The clicks are on every call and every few minutes or so, I guess you 
could call it regular intermittance? :)


The only option for DTMF on my  IAX phones are inband and 
outband-neither of which will respond to a menu prompt. I discovered I 
had to use outband just to use the phone's voicemail menu, so that is 
what it is set to. I cant specify DTMF in the IAX extension setup 
either- only on SIP extensions, for which I have no devices.


For clarification on the outgoing dialing- I dial a number, the phone 
says Please Dial... for approx 9 secs, and then says Calling 
#. I have looked at all the places I can think of for max 
silence settings (thinking it would be like the voicemail maxsilence=# 
variable) but no luck.

Hi,

I have been battling with the following problems for a while and was 
hoping someone could shed some light on the subject.
I am using AT320 402 IAX2 phones with 1.49 firmware (latest) 
connected to an Asterisk server  running [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.1 (includes 
Asterisk 1.2 and AMP 1.10).
I am using ulaw codec but will upgrading to g729 within the week. And 
on to the questions:


G.729 definitely helped my call quality across the internet.  Within 
my LAN ulaw works great and sounds better.




1. During all calls there are periodic 'clicks' that sound as if one 
of the party's have hung up, about every 2 minutes or so.


hmmm,  Is this intermittent?



2. When calling, lets say for example Dell tech support, if the user 
is prompted to select a menu option the number they dial is not 
translated and the menu just keeps on going.


I couldn't use inband DTMF with my equipment, I had to use rfc2833, 
which is set in both my equipment and the extensions that correspond.


3. The time between dialing an outgoing number and actual connection 
is painfully long- is this configurable in Asterisk somewhere?


You might looks for extra waits in your dial plan extension that calls 
out?  I don't notice mine being too long, although I hear two 
different dial tones at times.  Depends on how your calls are terminated.




Oh, and my outgoing provider is voipjet and incoming is Teliax.


Teliax has been out for two days here for me, although it's back now...

[Asterisk-Users] Call Transfer

2005-10-20 Thread Rhonda Herron

Hello,

I have my [EMAIL PROTECTED] working beautifully for basic call function. So now I 
am testing extended functions for my office users and am hitting a wall. 
I simply need to be able to put a call on hold and forward it to any 
another internal extension. I have an Eezee AT-320 IAX2 phone and 
according to the directions, I  simply select Hold  enter ext hit Fwd. 
However when I press the button all I do is annoy the caller with loud 
button punching sounds. Does something need to be configured in * to 
allow call transfer to work? I am using an inbound trunk from Teliax- no 
cards, just a T1 direct to my * server.  I have found transfer functions 
for zapatel- but as I said I am just using the T1 and have no zapatel 
trunks/configurations.  I have also seen a lot of information for call 
forwarding but that sets up a permanent forward function to a specific 
extension. I just want to be able to say One moment, Mike can help you 
with that, let me transfer you and then be able to do it. Since this 
happens with all my AT-320 phones, I don't think it is hardware related 
and there is no mention of call transfer configuration for the phone 
itself.


Thanks

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Call Transfer

2005-10-20 Thread Rhonda Herron


I have the phone specific directions to transfer calls, but I tried your 
suggestion. No go. I have 3 of the Eezee phones and  call transfer 
doesn't  work on any of them, so I really don't think it is hardware 
related. I think the problem may be with my feature.conf which had no 
reference to blindxfer or atxfer. I added them so my feature.conf now 
looks like this:


transferdigittimeout = 3  ; Number of seconds to wait between 
digits when transfering a call

;courtesytone = beep; Sound file to play to the parked caller
; when someone dials a parked call
xfersound = beep   ; to indicate an attended transfer is 
complete

xferfailsound = beeperr; to indicate a failed transfer
;adsipark = yes ; if you want ADSI parking announcements
;pickupexten = *8   ; Configure the pickup extension.  
Default is *8

;featuredigittimeout = 500  ; Max time (ms) between digits for
; feature activation.  Default is 500

[featuremap]
blindxfer = #; Blind transfer
disconnect = *0   ; Disconnect
;automon = *1  ; One Touch Record
atxfer = *2


I rebooted my * server but still no go. Are there  dependencies  I am 
not aware of? Should [featuremap] be referenced elsewhere as well? I am 
working with * CVS 1.0.9 and have found an article on wiki that support 
for call transfer was added in 1.2.  Are there other places I need to 
hack for this functionality?

He is what happens from the time the extension is selected from the time

I was pushing all sorts of transfer button possibilities and nothing. It 
just stayed at 'ooh, voice format changed to 4' Which, while humorous 
tells me nothing except that my phone is not able to communicate with 
the sever at all from the time the call is put through until the call is 
done.
