Re: [asterisk-users] Change Default Voicemail Message

2008-01-06 Thread Trevor G. Hammonds
Daniel,

You could have Alison record a prompt "Welcome to (nursing home)" and
re-record the prompt "The person at extension..." to be "The person in
room...".  Then have your dialplan play the "Welcome To..." message before
sending the call to voice mail.  Then callers will hear "Welcome to (Nursing
Home).  The person in room 5 is unavailable.  Please leave your message..."
and if the resident has a recorded personal greeting or name, it would
replace the "The person..." portion with either the resident's recorded name
or greeting.  

 

Sincerely,

Trevor Hammonds

Hello List,

 

I have a client (a nursing home)  that we are looking at installing a
trixbox for. One of the features that they would really like is a
customized, standard voicemail recording for each of the residents rooms. 

 

We are looking for something along the lines of a voicemail recording like
this:  "Welcome to (nursing home). You have reached room 5. Please leave a
message after the tone".

 

What would be the easiest way to get this to work. I have had a look at a
few options, but I cant seem to find what I am after.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

 

Thank You,

 

Daniel Cole

Actually, this was specific to Northern California (767 prefix).  In
Southern California, the Time Announcement service has always been in the
853 prefix.  The "official" numbers were 767-1212 and 853-1212, respectively
-- though the entire prefix in all area codes of the respective halves of
the state were reserved for, and rang to, the Time Announcement service.  As
of 19th September 2007, AT&T discontinued the service due to the
unavailability of parts for the 1960s-era Audichron equipment, and declining
use of the service.  

That being said, I would love to have this ability in Asterisk.  Perhaps
someone has even preserved Jane Barbe's original recordings in a way that
they can be recorded for Asterisk.  That would be a kick.

Trevor Hammonds

2007-08-11 Thread Trevor G. Hammonds
Bill,

I am not aware of any commercial Asterisk-compatible cards that support
North American BRIs right out of the box.  The best I have been able to come
up with was a card sold on eBay, where the seller promises to supply a patch
that needs to be applied to Asterisk (based on BRIstuff) so that it will
support North American BRIs.  The driver allows only one SPID per BRI, so
multiple DID/MSNs are not supported.  

Fortunately, PRIs are relatively cheap in California.  As such, I have not
yet made a concerted effort to find a card that does all that I need over
BRI -- though I am really interested in having this capability.  I wish the
Digium BRI card had the drivers for North American ISDN.  Such a shame that
they went to the effort of getting FCC approval, but didn't bother to do the
work to actually make it work in the US.  

As for ordering BRIs from AT&T:  In California, there is an ISDN group that
handles PRI/BRI orders.  They are available at 1-800-4PB-ISDN.  I believe
the correct number for Michigan is 1-800-552-8647.  If that is incorrect, or
they do not know about BRIs, call the California number and ask if they have
the corresponding number for Michigan.  

Hope this was of some assistance.

Sincerely,
Trevor Hammonds

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me with this.  I have a business customer in
the U.S. (Michigan, AT&T Territory).

I need to get 4 trunks into an asterisk Box.  My intention is to use an
Eicon Diva Server card with 2 BRI Circuits.  The reason for this is that
the business needs DID's on the trunks (20 of them).  A full or fractional
PRI is overboard for them, as they will never need more than four
channels.  I also don't really want to go with any kind of analog trunk
for other reasons (Disconnect supervision, potential echo problems, etc..)

I've called AT&T About a dozen times now, and no-one can tell me who to
call in order to get a BRI.

Is anyone familiar with how to order a BRI from AT&T (Or a CLEC that
covers Michigan)?  I need 2 BRI Circuits (4 B Channels) with 20 DIDs
accross the 4 circuits.  Also, can anyone confirm that an Eicon Diva
Server BRI Card will in fact support North American BRI?

Are there any less expensive cards that will handle North American BRI?

Any help highly appreciated
Bill

Your math is incorrect.  FIVE nines (99.999) allows only 5.26 MINUTES of
annual downtime.  Triple nine (99.9%) allows for 8.76 hours of annual
downtime.  Keep in mind that most SLAs do not include "planned" maintenance

Drew,
This has been normal behaviour for as long as I can remember.  The caller
hears the estimated time until they are next in line, then they hear the
'next in line' announcement.

[asterisk-users] New Linksys SPA Daylight Saving Time Rule for US/Canada

2007-03-08 Thread Trevor G. Hammonds
To work with the latest change to the US/Canadian DST, I made a new Daylight
Saving Time Rule for my Linksys SPA-9XX phones.  

start=3/7/7/02:00:00;end=11/1/7/02:00:00;save=1

As I could see no way to tell the phones to begin DST on the second Sunday
in March, I assumed that the second Sunday would always be at least on or
after the 7th of the month.  

Let me know if you see any obvious flaws to my logic, or the rule itself.

Thanks.

A Letter of Agency is almost always signed by the end subscriber and given

Stephen,
I often find that the telcos discourage voice BRI adoption by making it hard
for you to obtain the correct information or correct department to order the
circuits -- not necessarily by making it overly expensive.  I can guarantee
that most telcos have no immediate interest in discontinuing BRI (Switched
56, perhaps).  However, I cannot tell you how many times I have heard a
telco employee say, "BRI is for data only."  If you can get past the
standard business office or residential order center and into the ISDN or
complex services group, they will usually be able to help you.  In fact, if
you have an existing relationship with the telco, the same place where you
would order a complex Centrex group or pretty much any T1 would either be
able to help you with the BRI order or at least be able to get you to the
right place.  

Take a look at Telus' General Tariff item 485, which covers BRI service:
http://about.telus.com/publicpolicy/tariffs/docs2/CRTC180_1/General_2/item48
5.pdf

After a brief glance, it looks like Telus charges $91.75 to $107.80 per
month (depending on the "Rate Band" of your exchange) for a 2B+D on a
one-year contract.  On a five-year contract, that drops to $79.85 to $99.80
per month.  Without a five-year commitment, this is quite a bit more than I
have seen in Southern California (around US$60/month with the voice feature
package).  However, California has seemed to be one of the least expensive
places for ISDN services.  

Good luck!

Sincerely,
Trevor Hammonds

Ryan,
Even 1AESS switches offer disconnect supervision -- and I am not aware of
any of those still in primary service in Southern California.  By early
2000, Pacific Bell (then SBC, now AT&T) replaced all the analogue 1As with
DMS-100s.  If you care to contact me off list, I may be able to help get you
in touch with the right department to assist you.

Throughout most of the United States, "Digital Centrex" or "CentrexIS" is
ISDN as part of a Centrex group.  If the circuit is meant for a single
device, it would be a BRI.  If the circuit is "Hi-Cap" or meant to be hooked
up to a PBX or the like, it would be a PRI.  

I am not that familiar with Telus, but what Bell is calling "Digital Voice"
service is merely VoIP over one of their DSL connections.  While I know that
both companies offer Centrex over PRI, I am unsure if either company
supports BRI widely anymore.  I know BRI service is available, and most of
their switches are capable of offering BRI circuits.  For example, digital
secretarial enhanced key telephone sets are ISDN phones that work via a BRI.


In my experience, most telcos in the US and Canada will not tell you about
BRI unless you specifically ask.  And if you do, they shuffle you off to
another department where they may or may not know how to properly provision
the circuit.  Somehow, all the LECs in North American look at BRI as a
data-only service and never really saw the advantages of offering it to
voice-only customers.  As such, now that 128k (or 144k) is too slow of a
data connection for most, BRI has just been passed by.  Such a shame...

Yuan,
Well engineered analogue PBXs typically do not use standard loop start
subscriber lines.  When digital trunks are not an option, they use analogue
PBX and/or DID trunks.  At the very least, ground start circuits are
preferred to avoid "glare".  The best call quality for analogue is achieved
by using four-wire E&M trunks that provide answer and disconnect
supervision.  There are two-wire trunks (which are probably more common), as
well as different signalling methods.  These trunks require special
interface hardware, and I am unaware of any that work with Asterisk.  As the
cards are typically very expensive, it is usually better to go with digital
if you require that functionality.  It would be nice to see a BRI interface
for Asterisk that works in North America, as BRI circuits are often
comparable in price to analogue lines.

Trevor Hammonds

Why not just make an MP3 each time the client receives the updated media?
You could have their existing MOH source device connected to the input of a
PC in their office (or yours) like mentioned in previous messages.  When the
new media arrives, make a single MP3 file, and then upload it to the
Asterisk server.

While I have not used siproxd, I have read a bit about it.  From my
understanding of the docs, the local SIP agents register to siproxd, but
siproxd does not register to Asterisk.  So the calls will traverse the NAT
properly, but features like MWI will not work in this scenario.  Also, this
would be pure SIP URL dialling (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) as opposed to
traditional telephone dialling (e.g. 1-213-555-8080).

Mike,

If you are running version 1.2 or SVN trunk up to revision 8059, you can
make the SPA-941 auto-answer on the speaker phone by adding a dialplan entry
like this before the Dial command:

exten => 1234,1,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info:\;answer-after=0)

If you have Polycom phones, you may also do this, but it requires a little
more effort.  Check the wiki (www.voip-info.org) for more information.

you manually assign each phone a separate port and add firewall/router

Indeed, the AU standard is just what you quoted.  It is complex impedance.
A 220-ohm resistive load connected in series to an 820-ohm resistive load
which is connected in parallel with a 120nF cap.

I don't know if this will help you, but you may do a Google search for the
ETAL P3324 and P3356.  I believe they may handle the impedance matching you
need.

The SPA-2002 is definitely generating the additional ringback.  I verified
this by temporarily changing the frequency of the ringback in the SPA's
"Regional" settings.  

I also verified that I am not using the "r" option in the Dial command.  If
I were, however, only the Asterisk-generated ringback would be heard, and
then only until the call supervised (i.e. I would not be hearing two
distinct ring signals, and the ringback would not occasionally persist for
the duration of a call while still hearing the called party).  

This problem is present only with the SPA-2002, and none of the other SIP
devices connected to this Asterisk server.  I have also tried making
outbound calls via different service providers, all with the same results.  

Thanks again.  

Sincerely,
Trevor Hammonds

[Asterisk-Users] Sipura SPA-2002 Double Ring

2005-11-13 Thread Trevor G. Hammonds
I recently implemented a Sipura SPA-2002 with one of my Asterisk
installations.  On internal calls, the SPA generates ringtone as expected.
However, when I dial out via my IAX-based service provider, I hear both the
telco-generated ringtone as well as the SPA-generated ringtone.  Sometimes,
the SPA continues to generate the ringtone even after the call has been
answered.  

I saw this item mentioned on the list some time ago.  However, I did not see
a resolution.  I am interested to know if anyone has come up with a "fix"
for this situation.  

Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.  Thank you for your assistance.

Mr. Newkirk,

This and similar situations present a very serious issue for emergency
responders.  When you dial 911, your call is routed to the appropriate PSAP
(Public Safety Answering Point) based on your ANI (Automatic Number
Identification) or ELIN (Emergency Line Identification Number -- usually
just another term for ANI).  As your call arrives, the PSAP does a query of
their ALI (Automatic Location Information) database to get your location
information.  Please note that the PSAP does NOT use Caller ID for this
purpose.  End users are not able to block their ANI (under normal
circumstances), even though they may block their Caller ID.

Either the ILEC or a company like Intrado will maintain the ALI database in
your area.  If you are getting your PRI and DIDs from your local ILEC, they
would be responsible for getting the correct information entered into the
ALI database.  Typically, the information entered is only the physical
address where the primary service is installed.  In most circumstances, this
information is enough to get police/fire/EMS to you in an emergency.
However, I suspect the entire country club shares a single street address.
If so, when someone dials 911, the PSAP will get only the main address of
the country club.  In this and similar situations, such as calling from
within a multi-floor office building, a campus environment, etc., the main
street address is simply not enough information to get emergency responders
to you in a timely manner.  

Consider this not-so-unusual hypothetical scenario.  A guest of the
Pennsauken Country Club is having a heart attack in his bungalow.  He dials
911.  The dispatcher's screen at the PSAP shows the main information for the
club "(856) 662-4961 - 3800 Haddonfield Rd - Pennsauken Country Club -
Pennsauken, NJ".  The guest explains that he is experiencing severe chest
pain, then either passes out before he can tell the dispatcher his exact
location at the country club, or is confused or unaware of his exact
location.  The dispatcher would roll fire, EMS, and/or police to the main
address.  However, when they arrive, the emergency responders would have to
knock on all 100+ doors to even attempt to determine who was having the
emergency.  Now you probably have a dead guest.  Not good for business.  

First off, you should be using a PRI to connect your Asterisk server to the
PSTN.  You should also have a block of DIDs, with each guest room assigned
its own, unique DID.  This way you can differentiate among the individual
rooms when people are making outbound calls, and guests may receive incoming
calls in their room without going through an operator.  Asterisk is capable
of setting ANI in addition to Caller ID, on a per-call basis.  This would
ensure that the correct data is sent to the phone company when someone dials
911.  

As to getting the data to the PSAP to indicate where within the country club
each DID is assigned, you have a couple of solutions.  You can implement
PS/ALI (Private Switch/Automatic Location Identification), or you can work
with your telecom provider to have them enter the extended data into the ALI
database for each DID individually.  

PS/ALI is the "best" solution, from a technical standpoint -- but it is
usually quite expensive.  PS/ALI allows you to provide the E-911 system with
current, specific tenant location information to expedite emergency response
times to the site of the emergency -- not just to the building or general
site location.  So when your guest having a heard attack in room 119 dials
911, the PSAP gets something more along the line of "(856) 324-4119 - 3800
Haddonfield Rd - Building 5 Room 119 - Pennsauken Country Club - Pennsauken,
NJ".  

PS/ALI is geared toward larger telecom users such as colleges, office
buildings, large office campuses, etc., with a somewhat mobile population.
It is utilized best when most of your extensions or DIDs are assigned to a
person, as opposed to a location.  This way, when the person moves from one
office to another, your staff can push the change to the ALI database within
minutes of the move, rather than phoning in a service order to the LEC, and
waiting days for the change to be pushed to ALI.  

In your situation, I am assuming an extension or DID would most likely stay
at a fixed location for quite some time (e.g. extension 4119 is always going
to be guest room 119).  So PS/ALI may be overkill in your situation.  In
that case, I would go the second route mentioned above.  Work wit

Try something like this:

exten => _1.,3,Dial(IAX2/pop2/${EXTEN})

Hope this helps!

An update...  I added an analogue FXO card to this Asterisk server, and
calls coming in on the Zap channels are able to be transferred to the
conference.  However, they do not hear MOH at all (in the conference or
otherwise).  

I have to be missing something.  Hopefully it is obvious to one of you,
because it is obviously escaping me.  ;-)

[Asterisk-Users] Unable to transfer external calls to MeetMe conference

2005-08-18 Thread Trevor G. Hammonds
I have a peculiar situation, and am hoping someone on the list can offer
assistance.  I am running CVS HEAD, and am using ITSPs for DIDs.  The server
has no Zap hardware, but is configured to use ztdummy.  All incoming calls
are via IAX2.  

Calls ring to SIP phones, voice mail, IVR, etc., with no trouble.  I am also
able to transfer calls among my SIP devices, voice mail, IVR, etc.  All of
my SIP devices are able to call into a MeetMe conference without issue.
However, when I attempt to transfer an inbound call from one of my SIP
devices to a MeetMe conference, the call is dropped. If I complete the
transfer while the "You are currently the only person in this conference"
prompt is playing, the call will successfully make it into the MeetMe
conference, and remains without trouble.  That is the ONLY circumstance in
which I have been able to transfer an external user into the conference.
Also, If I point a DID to the conference in extensions.conf, the call will
ring right into the conference without trouble.  

As an aside, I created a few MOH queues and some corresponding extensions,
so users may hear the music.  When I try to transfer an external call to any
of these MOH extensions, the external caller either hears silence, or the
call is dropped.  Either way, they never hear the MOH.  I do not know if
this is related, but I thought I would mention it.  

I have included CLI output below.  Any assistance will be greatly
appreciated.  

Sincerely,
Trevor Hammonds

Make sure you are using a recent version of Asterisk.  I suggest downloading
from CVS and recompiling to ensure you are up to date.  This was a problem
in both CVS HEAD and Stable versions of asterisk a couple of weeks ago.

Seven to 10 days to provision an 8XX number where a change of RESP ORG is
involved is certainly not unreasonable.  In fact, that is a fairly good
turnaround time, compared to MANY other ITSPs out there.  

I have had great luck with NuFone for quite some time, save one technical
problem which was promptly resolved.  While some of NuFone's employee's
emails (to this list, at least) may be terse, they have never been
unreasonable, in my opinion.  They run a good service.

This is a result of a bug (3701) which has been corrected in CVS.  Updating
your installation with the latest CVS code from either stable or head will
get MOH working properly again.

Try: 

exten => 21,1,Dial(${phone1},20,rw)

Options should be combined.   

and

exten => 21,1,Dial(${phone1},20,rwL(30:24:6))

This limits the call to five minutes, warning every 60 seconds when four
minutes are remaining.  Keep in mind that time is specified in milliseconds.
(FYI:  There are 60,000 milliseconds in a minute.)

You may not legally connect any device to an FRS radio which has not been
FCC-certified as part of that radio.  This means that you cannot legally
connect anything to the headset jack other than the headset (or other
device) the manufacturer certified for that particular model of FRS radio.
The FCC has not approved, and is not likely to approve, any phone patch or
interconnection device for FRS radios.  A first-offense violation of this
rule will result in a fine of $10,000.  

GMRS and MURS radios have different rules.  I would look to using them for
this type of interconnection.

[Asterisk-Users] Problem with Avaya 4602 / SIP response 481

2005-02-21 Thread Trevor G. Hammonds
I have an Avaya 4602 IP phone that was previously working with Asterisk.  It
was being used elsewhere for several months, and I recently set it up again
to work with Asterisk.  Everything works fine for several minutes -- I am
able to receive and make calls as expected.  However, after a few minutes,
and every few minutes thereafter, I get the following message on the
console:

-- Got SIP response 481 "Call Does Not Exist" back from 192.168.1.98

After this message, the phone no longer works properly -- if at all.  When
attempting to dial, the phone seems to ignore my dial plan, accepting no
more than five digits (I get the tone burst indicating that it is done
accepting digits), and it does not transmit anything to Asterisk.
Attempting to call the phone's extension results in a busy condition (SIP
response 486).  Soft resetting the phone restores it to working order for
several minutes.  

I have searched Google and the Wiki for answers to this problem, and see
that Brian Elton has experienced this exact situation.  However, I saw no
resolution posted to the list, and do not have Brian's contact information.


I suspect this may be related to the MWI indicator and the "mailbox="
statement in my sip.conf file, as the last time I was using this phone with
*, it was not set up to use voicemail. 

Any ideas or assistance will be greatly appreciated. 

Sincerely,
Trevor Hammonds

For that matter, check out Tellme.  1-800-555-TELL   

Speaker-independent automatic speech recognition, when implemented properly,
is VERY good right now.  However, good ASR is usually fairly expensive.  Do
not confuse desktop speech recognition applications like Dragon Dictate and
Via Voice with telco-grade ASR engines like Nuance, SpeechPearl/Speechworks,
Loquendo, etc.

Tellme has a developer platform that you can use to experiment with
VoiceXML, TTS, and ASR.  You create the "voice applications" on their
website, and can access them via the PSTN or SIP.  

Check out:
http://studio.tellme.com/

I, for one, would love to have the ability to use ASR engines with Asterisk.
I think a good start would be a Sphinx/Asterisk integration project.

Good idea.  I did this as well.

[Asterisk-Users] ASTCC error on free calls

2005-02-04 Thread Trevor G. Hammonds



I set up certain 
routes in my ASTCC application to be free of charge.  When a user attempts 
to dial one of these numbers, the announcement plays the prompts "This 
call will cost", "nothing", and then terminates the script, dropping the 
call, leaving the card locked in the database as being in use.  

 
Any 
ideas?
 
    
Sincerely,
    Trevor 
Hammonds

Karl,
This is a great suggestion!  I think it should be added to the ASTCC
distribution.

As I understand it, you need to purchase the drivers from Digium.

Perhaps you should try: 
exten => s,2,SayDigits(${ARG1})

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Compile error on Zaptel with Suse 9.1 (follow-up of subject: What is the best Linux for asterisk)

2004-08-16 Thread Trevor G. Hammonds



First off, ensure you have the following packages installed 
(using YAST or otherwise):

  CVSupkernel-sourceskernel-symsncursesncurses-developensslopenssl-develbisondoxygen
 
Next, ensure you symlink /usr/src/linux to the current 
linux source (e.g. /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.104).  
 
Finally, do the following:
 

  #cd /usr/src/linux
  #make cloneconfig && make 
dep
 
This worked for 
me.  As usual, however, YMMV.  Let me know if this works for 
you.  
 
    
Sincerely,
    Trevor

[Asterisk-Users] Difference between Tormenta/Zapata and Digium Hardware

2004-06-24 Thread Trevor G. Hammonds
Title: Message



I am interested in 
possibly building a few Tormenta 2 Rev B cards for myself.  Before I 
get much further, though, I would like to determine the 
difference between the T2B card and the Digium Quad-span T1 
cards.  
 
I get the general 
impression that they are similar, but the Digium hardware is improved.  Is 
this the case?  Are the drivers for the T2B valid anymore?  

 
Thanks for any 
advice or assistance.
 
    
Sincerely,
    Trevor 
Hammonds
