[asterisk-users] Compiling Zaptel 1.2.10 on Ubuntu 6.10

2006-10-28 Thread Strom Carlson

Here's a weird problem that I'm not quite sure how to resolve.  Zaptel
1.2.10  compiles just fine with make, but when make install is
run, this happens:

[ `id -u` = 0 ]  /sbin/depmod -a 2.6.17-10-generic || :
[ -f /etc/zaptel.conf ] || install -D -m 644 zaptel.conf.sample
/etc/zaptel.conf build_tools/genmodconf linux26  tor2 torisa wcusb
wcfxo wctdm wctdm24xxp ztdynamic ztd-eth wct1xxp wcte11xp pciradio
ztd-loc ztdummy
[: 66: ==: unexpected operator
[: 66: ==: unexpected operator
Unknown kernel build version requested... exiting.
make: *** [install] Error 1

This worked just fine under ubuntu 6.06 with the same set of packages
installed.  Any help is appreciated.

Re: [asterisk-users] 911 versus 9.911

2006-09-01 Thread Strom Carlson

I play a recording that starts as soon as the second 1 is pressed:

If this is an emergency, please hang up and dial 9-911.

Short, simple, and to the point.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Voicemail records nonsense, but record() works (??)

Subject: [Asterisk-Users]   Voicemail records nonsense, but record() works 
(??)

Hello,

I have setup an Asterisk 1.2.7.1 system, with a working voicemail box:

/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
exten = 83086921,1,Answer
exten = 83086921,2,Dial(SIP/stefan,5,r)
exten = 83086921,3,VoiceMail,u111
exten = 83086921,4,Hangup
exten = 83086921,103,VoiceMail,b111
exten = 83086921,104,Hangup

/etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf
[default]
language=de
111 = 111,Mailbox 111,[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The mailbox starts, I hear the intro and speak my message. In the CLI I can 
see that the message has been recorded and I get the recorded message via 
mail.

But when I listen to the recorded messages or call the mailbox, I either hear 
nothing or just a short cracking sound. At least the length of the message is 
correct. If have tried to record the message with gsm, wav or wav49, the 
result is always the same.

When I use the record() application to record a gsm file, everything is okay.

I obviously  made something wrong when configuring the voicemail system.

Can someone give me a hint what's going wrong?

Thanks for your help,

stefan

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Zap channels ringing too loudly

2006-05-31 Thread Strom Carlson

On 5/31/06, BJ Weschke [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 I could be way off here, but I thought FXS ringing was signaled only
by a change in voltage on the pair, so I'm not sure how zaptel could
instruct the hardware device to send a different voltage? I think its
only capability with FXS is to fluctuate the voltage to support
distinctive rings.


Ring voltage in North America is supposed to be 90vAC at 20Hz.
Assuming these are Western Electric 2500 sets or similar, then a
less-wimpy ring voltage generator could very well make the phones ring
louder.  Fortunately, if these are Western Electric sets, then there
should be a dial marked LOUD or HI on the underside of the phone.
Turn that to the right to make the bells softer.

Hi,
during gradual migration to Asterisk, I put Asterisk in front of a legacy
Alcatel PBX:
  PRI PSTN -- Asterisk -- E1 cable -- Alcatel PBX

After successful deployment of VoIP phones, it's time to drop Alcatel PBX!
I'd like to keep some of analog lines to support modem, fax and some older
stuff. What's the best choice? A channel bank or a TDM2400P card?
Can I use a TDM2400P board together with the actual TE410P?


I've had very good results at one of my clients' locations using the
following setup:

PRI -- Asterisk w/Digium TE406P -- Adtran channel bank -- Fax machine

Assuming you have a spare span on your E1 card, it's probably worth it
to get a channel bank with 24 FXS ports and put it in your wiring
closet.  Even if you don't use all the ports now, you'll be a simple
cross-connect away from adding an analog station if and when it's
needed in the future.

Thanks, will try this... I actually don't really want to delay incoming

some kind of ringing sound...we'll see if this is actually a good idea or

Out of random curiosity, is it a channelized T1, or is it a PRI?

Well, first off, I'd suggest that you upgrade to the latest stable

Any clue on how to make it ring twice before getting picked up? I tried

also tinkered with adding some wait statements before the 'answer' but only

Thx in advance


You need to provide audible ring:

exten = 2368,1,Ringing
exten = 2368,2,Wait(11)
exten = 2368,3,Answer

and so on.  Of course, if you're on a T1, why would you want to
artificially delay the calling party's access to the auto-attendant?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] PRI dialing IVR with inband DTMF

Two situations:

Shoretel Phone -- ShoreTel -- PRI -- Asterisk -- Softswitch --

does not appear to process DTMF.  Note, this is ONLY on IVR applications
where we are not getting 200/connect passed through even though we're

Is the PRI connected directly from the ShoreTel to the Asterisk box,
or is it connected through the PSTN?

The PSTN is not supposed to set up the forward audio path until after
the call supervises, so this is where your issue may lie.

I was thinking to this plan:
- install another server with Red Hat 4 U3
- install PHP, MySQL and other usefuls stuffs
- download latest version of Asterisk and third parts applications I use

- copy /etc/asterisk from old server to new, change only what is needed
- start and try

Do you think is it OK?


I doubt it.  The problem I have with AAH / AMP / FreePBX is that the
configuration files are absolutely full of useless garbage and are
really not at all suitable for moving to a standard asterisk install.

Set up a new server from scratch and start learning how to configure
asterisk manually.  Rebuild everything one step at a time so that the
functionality remains as you'd like it to be, but that the actual
configs aren't full of that FreePBX garbage :)

They will evolve and improve over time. The adoption of Asterisk as a
mainstream PBX is dependent upon a user friendly interface.


Well, as soon as a GUI shows up that doesn't make configuring Asterisk
like trying to sew with boxing gloves on, I'll give it a good, hard,
unbiased look.  For now, though, the available interfaces are really
just not there yet - they don't allow enough flexibility and they are
very easy to outgrow.

Put the fax machine on an FXS port, have faxes route through
Asterisk's switching matrix, then have your dialplan tear that channel
down if 911 is dialed.

And also, pray that your echo cancellers work really well.

 I'm answering this via the users' mailing list instead of the

 these sorts of questions.
 
 I'm using an old rotary dial phone connected to one of the 4 ports of
 the 4-port FXS card; it works great. I can dial, check voicemail, etc by
 spinning the dial and letting go. I was amazed, but pulse dialing works
 fine with the FXS card. The only trouble might be with # and * key
 functionality, I haven't investigated workarounds.

Eleven pulses on a zaptel card will give you an asterisk, and twelve
will generate an octothorp.  Get your hookswitch-flashing finger
ready...

[Asterisk-Users] TDM400P FXS polarity reversal?

2004-12-12 Thread Strom Carlson
Hello all,

Is it possible to do a talk battery polarity reversal on a TDM400P FXS
interface?  Everything I can find seems to be referring to the
procedure for detecting a battery reversal on a telephone company POTS
line using the FXO interface, but not for actually generating one back
to a station upon answer supervision.  I would assume that VoicePulse
and VoipJet provide a way of signaling far-end supervision back to the
originating Asterisk PBX...

Basically, my two questions are:
(1) Is the hardware capable of even performing a reversal?
(2) If the above is true, how would you make it happen in Asterisk?
