RE: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom 600 as a Receptionist Phone

2004-11-08 Thread Wiley E. Siler
Well, the phone automatically does call waiting on each line you
register so you will be able to get a call on each line.

You could always do this

In Asterisk
Setup extensions 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106
Set your dial plan to ring 100 on all incoming calls.
Set 100 to roll through 101 through 106 until it hits an open line.

In phone...
The label you use on the display is selectable so you can say it is one
number but register it as another.
Register 101 - 106 on the phone but name them whatever number you want.

All lines appar the same at both ends now.

How about that?

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom 600 as a Receptionist Phone

I am attempting to setup a Polycom SoundPoint 600 in the same manner
that I have a Cisco 7960 (SIP) operate as a receptionist phone.  With
the Cisco 7960, I am able to have 6 line appearances all display the
same phone number, and thus give the receptionist the ability to handle
6 simultaneous calls.  I would like to do this same setup with the 6
line appearances on the SoundPoint 600, and thus give the receptionist
the ability to select lines via the line apperance buttons, and handle
her active calls via the line appearnce buttons.

With the Cisco, I can simply take the same lineX settings, and reproduce
them up to 6 times, and thus have the phone handle up to 6 appearnces of
the same line.  When I have attempted to do the same thing with the
Polycom configuration, I was not able to get this to work.

Can anyone provide a Polycom configuration file for a receptionist
phone?

Thank you.

-Brian

Sometimes when my users

I assume that the problem with /dev/dsp is your issue - haven't

I often see that message when I am logged into an X session - the first
desktop on the console gets the sound.  Be sure to log out and restart

Then reconfigure X desktop applets so you don't load any sound applets

mpg123 can do this. Is there any application that can, that is also

The free phones I have heard of are soft phones...
X-Lite  is excellent...  

Cheap phones to test with, Grandstream is cheap but like the man said,
you get what you pay for.

eBay is a good source for cheap phones to test with but cheap is
relative
I consider cheap as sub $100.

You can pick up a couple of models of Cisco and Polycom for 100-150.

I'll concur with that.

The Cisco 7940 and 7960 phones have great speakerphones :)

As for ones to stay away from - the Grandstream BT-100 series. The sound
is fine on the local end, but is very low for the remote end (sounds as
if the microphone in speaker mode is actually the mic on the handset).

Do you have a price range?

I use Polycom IP500s and the speaker phone is awesome.  It picks up
speakers in the room very well at 5-6 feet.
Polycom has always made an exceptional speaker phone even on plain ole
phones.
Their implementation on the IP phones is excellent so they are my
preference.
I have heard that the Cisco phones are quite nice too.  I think from a
previous conver that the 7905 has a speaker phone and is priced fairly
low.

Cheers,

No worries.  You are totally right that $8 bucks is pretty neglibable
for that service.

Your comment about the vendor made me think of a fellow I recently
helped with his * who resells Cisco.
His company is called TekSavers and they have the phone that started
this email (Cisco 7905G) for $95.  
I haven't a clue if that is a good price but your comment made me think
of his site.
http://www.teksavers.com

I don't know if that will be of use but I just thought I would pass it
on in case there are any items out there that are priced good.

Ohhno, I'm not grilling you or anything Wiley, just pointing out that
for many orgs the $8/mo wouldn't be too bad considering the level of
support they'd receive.  For some it's not worth it, and that's totally
understandable.  We each have our own priorities to consider.  I simply
wanted to mention the actual cost involved in case anyone thought that
it was some really absurd per-phone price.

My biggest problem still remains finding competent resellers where I can
buy the phones from.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7905G

2004-09-21 Thread Wiley E. Siler
A completely valid point you make... 

Just remember to multiply that 8 dollars times the number of phones
times the number of years you need to have them in service 
Extend that to the other Cisco items you need to maintain and purchase
and the costs keeps rising
Mine is just a simple observation regarding the costs of being a Cisco
customer. 

Like I said, it is about preference and budgeting...
Even if I only save $300 dollars a year from using alternatives to Cisco
in my enterpise (switches, firewalls, phones, etc), it is still $300.
Usually, the $ saved from finding comparable products at lower prices
also benefit my overall budget since Cisco tends to be a premium price.

Like I said... I won't disparage Cisco products in any way.  They are
barring none, some of the best out there.
I just prefer a different licensing model for my enterprise and find
that I can get comparable performance by alternatives.
If anyone has the budget and desire, they would be well served by any
Cisco product they purchase.

It is just not my choice...  Thus my disclaimer in the footer of the
last post.

Cheers,
Wiley

See my post of a few moments ago and you have hit on the exact reason I
will not use Cisco beyond my firewall (a purchase you will never regret
if you need a good firewall).  Cisco makes arguably some of (if not
totally) the best equipment out there. I just have one problem.

Their licensing model is such that you can buy their product, at a
premium price too mind you, ant then you have to pay MUCH extra for a
support contract just to get images and just about everything else you
need.  That lead me to alternatives.  Polycom, SNOM, Grandstream are
just a few and each good based upon certain criteria (price vs. looks
vs. performance, etc, etc).

My personal choice is Polycom.  Polycom IP300 phones are excellent if
you do not need speaker phone.  IP500 is excellent with all the features
you may want.  Go to the IP600 and you get a minibrowser though the
benefit is arguable.  My IP500s perform extremely well and the
featureset is excellent.

As before, phone choice is very preferential and what I like may be
totally hated by someone else.  However, in my opinion, the
dollar/performance/presentation ration of these phones is excellent.
Not to mention that the SIP images are available online as released
instead of regulated the same way Cisco is.  I just cannot bring myself
to pay the Cisco premium for hardware then have to give them even more
money for the things I need to make THEIR hardware work right.  That
would just seems like Cisco is sticking it to me too much...

$0.02

Wiley

PS.  I have done my best to express that this is MY preference so be
sure to weight all the opinions you find.  Many have extremely good
results using the Cisco phones and can justify the cost thusly.  My
enterprise just isn't built on that large a budget.

According to the spec this phone should be able to use SIP. Now I been
looking on Ciscos home pages for several hours trying to find a "SIP

No luck at all, need special access to be able to download software to

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk , ISA Firewall/VPN , STUN and other issues

2004-09-21 Thread Wiley E. Siler



I use my XLite softphone from my Win XP box over VPN to my 
Cisco PIX with no issues so this can be done.  
How that works for an ISA box is unknown to me.  I 
dumped ISA several years ago do to it's (IMHO) unpredictability and low 
performance.
Are you using the built in VPN of WinXP or an ISA Client 
?
 
Phones are very preferential.  Grandstream and SNOM 
make some good cheap phones if presentation is not an issue.
I personally prefer Polycom IP300 and IP500 for ease of use 
and features.  IP300 can be had for $135 on eBay.
Some like Cisco though the Cisco licensing model irritates 
me to no end and I refuse to use them for anything other than firewall/router at 
this time.

I have just finished compiling and 
installing Asterisk on a test Debian system. All is working well. We are now 
attempting to get remote offices to test the system I have installed both a SIP 
and an IAX client at a remote office. Then I connect to our office via Microsoft 
ISA firewall and the Windows XP VPN client. Neither of the softphones will 
connect. On the IAX softphone I just get a ringtone , on the SIP client nothing. 
The Debian machine has two NIC’s , one with a static external IP and one with an 
internal IP. Our remote offices are behind a mixture of 
firewalls.
 
 
I have some questions with regards 
to our testing and setup.
 
1)   
Is there a way to get the SIP/IAX 
client to work via the VPN? This would be the easiest 
way.
2)   
If not can I install a STUN server 
on the same machine as the * server? Can it use the same internal and external 
IP’s as the * server?
3)   
Is there a hardphone that supports 
VPN that has been tested?
4)   
What is the best hardphone to use 
with Asterisk?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Music on hold

2004-09-20 Thread Wiley E. Siler
Did you transfer the mp3s to the * box via FTP?  If so, did you use
binary not ascii mode?
Ascii mode will mess the files up every time. Explicitly call binary
then your mget so your files don't get hosed.

Also, if your musiconhold.conf file has a good reference to where your
mp3s are located...
default => quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3,-Z

Then are you calling the context from your extensions.conf file
correctly?
I use this extension just so I can test that the music is there...
;
;MUSIC ON HOLD EXTENSION
;
exten => 6000,1,Answer 
exten => 6000,2,SetMusicOnHold(default) 
exten => 6000,3,MusicOnHold()
exten => 6000,4,Hangup

Dialing from my SIP phone produces tunes as expected and can of course
also be verified afterwards via in incoming call put on hold...

RE: [Asterisk-Users] 1 extension entry for multiple purposes?

2004-09-20 Thread Wiley E. Siler
My solution assumes you are capturing the caller ID of internal users
and redirecting them to the password prompt to save time and effort.
All internal call recipients should see the correct info (name and
extension).  For an external call, you may need to set that info for
your BRI/PRI. Whatever you are using...  For me, it is set by the phone
company since I am using POTS lines.  If you are using BRI or PRI, there
is info on the wiki about it and how you can send the correct caller ID
to an external recipient.

Hey gang,
 There must be any easy solution for this but my mind is frazzled on
compiling 2.4 with RTC as module. Bleh.

Currently extension 9000 is our VoicemailMain(@company) line.  Some
employee's are complaining that the old system was better because you
didn't have to enter your mailbox number and that instead the old system
took you right to it.

I figured there was something similar so that I don't have to have 200
extra extensions.conf lines just for VoicemailMain(@company).

Basically I want something like this:  exten =>
9000,1,VoicemailMain([EMAIL PROTECTED])
so that way all it asks for is their password.

Any ideas..?

Thanks,
Matthew

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Newbie has a few basic questions please.

2004-09-20 Thread Wiley E. Siler
Bruce,

Using a POTS line local with * will get you the same net result as
having the POTS line only.  You will be using VoIP internal and passing
your calls off to the * box to have it dial like a normal phone.  So, no
IP packets move past the box over a POTS line.  That is a pretty useful
feature for someone in my situation where I needed to get a PBX in place
using available infrastructure (we had the POTS and didn't want to pay
for an upgrade to a PRI T1). I just connected up my lines and use my *
like a PBX.

So, if you want to use VoIP exclusively, you would need to pass all your
traffic over an internet connection.  In theory, I think you can use a
digium card with an fxs to connect up an analog phone to the * box.
Then you would just route the call out of your data connection to
someone like IAXtel (http://www.iaxtel.com) where you have registered
yourself and your parent's * box.  The call would pass to their VoIP
connection and handoff to whatever their * box had connected (analog
phones, SIP, whatever).

Peruse the Digium website FAQ and you should come up with lots of
different info regarding what you can do.

Thanks,
W

Felix,
 
You might try going to Sam's (or their website) and looking 
for the motherboard manufacturer on their marketing materials.  Then you 
can get the specs for the motherboard from the mobo maker.  I cannot 
imagine anyone here will know if the PC you are reference is compliant of the 
tops of their heads (who knows, i could be wrong).  I bet most of them 
would look that info up from hitting the Sams site as suggested.  However, 
you should be able to find this information too if you go to the sams 
website.  
 
For information regarding scaling of Asterisk, you can 
query this user list by going to google and typing:  site:lists.digium.com 

 
While a cheapo box will work, it definitely won't scale to

RE: [Asterisk-Users] music on hold not strting

2004-09-13 Thread Wiley E. Siler
I never stripped my tags and things work fine for me.  I had problems at
first too with MOH.  My problem was due to how I was copying over the
files.  I was copy via FTP using the command line in Linux.  However, if
you do not explicitly state binary as the copy method, it will copy the
files over using ASCII.  Doing so mungs the whole MOH player and never
worked right.  Issueing the binary command at the ftp command prompt
prior to pulling the files to my asterisk box solved the problem for me.
I do not know your method of copying to your server but this may be your
problem if you are using FTP.

Cheers,
Wiley

RE: [Asterisk-Users] SIP on Handhelds

2004-09-11 Thread Wiley E. Siler
What was the symptom of the sound problem?
 
Echo cancellation on the * box should make the call sound good for the standard * user 
side I would think.  Does the sound quality suffer on the iPaq side then?  
 
I wonder if the encoding process on the iPaq is to blame for bad sound at the * side.  
 
What model of iPaq was used?
 
Thanks,
Wiley

We've installed and used PPC X-Lite on an iPAQ with 802.11b.  While the
sound quality of the iPAQ user was OK (not great but OK) the sound quality
as heard by the other caller was very poor.

If you try using a softphone on a PPC, I'd be interested to hear of your
experience.

[Asterisk-Users] SIP on Handhelds

2004-09-10 Thread Wiley E. Siler



Does anyone know if 
SIP will/is support on handheld PCs such as the iPaq or Axiom?  With their 
integrated 802.11b and Bluetooth it seems like a solution to provide a wireless 
based sip phone for any user would be possible.  Handoff between access 
points might be problematic but most users I know would be using their PDA phone 
in an airport with free wireless or at the local cafe, etc, 
etc...
 
Can anyone with 
experience in this department let me know if they think this idea is 
possible?
 
Thanks,
Wiley

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Help - is voip good for in-house calls?

2004-08-14 Thread Wiley E. Siler
Hello Francis,

> I'll most likely use a BRI. Do you think this will help to avoid echo?

I could not say as I have never used a BRI and I am pretty new to this
too.  I do know that BRI is supported from watching conversations in
this email list and reading online.  People seem to use it a bit so it
must work well.  Googling the list with BRI should get you tons of good
leads.

Greg had a great idea in having you set it up and try it.  In fact, that
is exactly how I did mine.  I purchase a cheap clone card for $15 and
used it to test on one POTS line while I tweaked my configuration files
and got the system validated.  I tested the system with soft phones, one
Polycom IP 500, and one Grandstream Budgetone 101.  The Budgetone worked
well and was leagues easier to setup than my Polycom actually.  

For expandability, I believe that the cap I have seen is about 60
concurrent calls for one Asterisk box and that is with a pretty serious
server by most users standards.  I cannot imagine having that many calls
at this point so I am fine but I jus though t you would want to know.
The nice thing about * is that you can just build another server and
link them together over IAX. Again, the low cost of implementation pays
off and you get to continue growth.  I will never go back to proprietary
PBX now that I finally have a solution that I can control.

Cheers,
Wiley

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Help - is voip good for in-house calls?

2004-08-14 Thread Wiley E. Siler
Hello Francis,

My office build is the same as yours.  15 or so extensions, low traffic
100MB network, and a desire to have a phone system that uses VoIP.  I
have my system working as a PBX just like you would.  I use two TDM400s
for my 8 POTS lines and Polycom IP 500 phones at the desktop.  I also
tested with the Grandstream phones you suggested.  SO, we have the same
system requirements so here are the answers as I have found them for my
implementation

Voice quality on the SIP based phones has a lot to do with the codec you
use.  The lowest compression codec is uLaw and that is what I use since
we have tons of bandwidth to spare.  Also, my HP switch has COS (class
of service which is like QOS) so I can prioritize the packets coming
from my phones over the standard network traffic.  Even without this
switching feature turned on, performance was great.  The phones
themselves play another role in the quality.  Grandstreams are pretty
good and I have only used mine for testing so I will not disparage them.
However, the old saying stands.  You get what you pay for.  Raising your
phone budget from $85 to more like $150-250 will get you a phone with
more features and greater expandability in my IHO.  However, you can
still do great things with the cheaper Grandstream phones and still have
a system that works very well. IT is all up to what you can spend and
what you need.  Google the archive by putting "site:lists.digium.com" in
front of your search string (no quotes though).  You should see some
good info on phones.  

Latency is gonna be there on any network.  However, on my network (which
is just like yours) the latency is very very low.  We are talking
20-40ms tops and it is completely unnoticeable when using the phone.
The only problem I have had at all has been with occasional echo.  It
does not happen often and it usually takes about 5 seconds for the * box
to train up and remove it.  Most of this seems to originate in the fact
that I am using POTS lines.  The solution that uses a T1 PRI has better
features and I think it has less echo potential.  However, that would
not work for me since my T1 provider wanted to make me pay 6 grand to
switch to a PRI from my standard data T1 with POTS.  Just some food for
thought...

I have been a VoIP user for about 1 month after spending another
researching what when where how...  So, we know I am not an expert...
but as a fellow user and new VoIP initiate, I can tell you that Asterisk
is a phenomenal product for SMB level offices like yours and mine.  When
I compared it to a PBX system of comparable power, expandability, and
feature set, Asterisk won easily since the only real cost I have had was
for my phones.  I have my system in place for around 3000 dollars and it
is competitive with all the 10K dollar solutions the vendors threw at me
plus it has an undeniable advantage in upgrade path.  All upgrades to
the system are free and the sky is the limit to what you can build using
the framework that all the * gurus have built into this system.  Not to
mention the fact that if anything ever goes wrong with the server, I can
have a new one in place in under and hour.  Try that with a PBX when
some proprietary part goes belly up.  You could wait days potentially.
My $.02.  Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Wiley

Hi there everyone!

I work at an office where we plant to have about 12-15 phone
extensions. Costs of PBX are cheaper, but they are not expandable and,
as the office is brand new, I want to use all modern stuff.

My question is: if I buy 12-15 Grandstream Budgetone 101 phones, and
install and asterisk server, as well as a Digium TDM400 for POTS
access, will I have the same voice quality and standards as a
PBX-only, with "traditional" phones? Or should I go all the way to
Digium's TDM? Or should I forget the whole thing and get a traditional
PBX? ;)

My concerns are most latencies. Our network will be a switch with lots
of ports, all 100mb/s, with VERY low traffic.

I've read lots about voip, and I'm quite impressed with it, but most
case studies show voip being used to interconnect offices. My case is
different - I want to replace a traditional PBX to handle in-house
phone calls, either from room-to-room in the same building and
room-to-POTS.

Any comment, help, tip or link would be greatly appreciated!

Yours truly,

Francis

Just a thought, MWI doesn't work at this point with MYQLFRIENDS or
res_data.  I have a patch just about ready for res_data, but I am not
quite there yet.

Also, if you aren't populating from a database do you have
[EMAIL PROTECTED] in your voicemail.conf?

Hope this helps,

[Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP 500 - MWI Not Working

2004-08-10 Thread Wiley E. Siler



Hello 
All,
 
I have Polycom IP 
500 phones which I would like to have message waiting indicators on.  So 
far, I have my system running well but the problem I am seeing is that MWI 
doesn't seem to tell my phone that it should display a MWI state.  The 
light does not show when you have message nor is there any indicator on the text 
lines of a message waiting. The wiki doesn't cover this enough to help me 
find why I do not get the notification on the phone when a message is 
waiting.  Is tehre anyone out there with Polycom phones who has 
Message 
Waiting Indicators working with the IP 500?  If so, can you tell me how you 
got it working, what variable to set in * or the Polycom cfg 
files?
 
Thanks!

(15), I woudl like to set all my call quality variables to their highest 
levels.  I ahve a 100 meg network with a switch that has Class of Service

[Asterisk-Users] ZAP Channel doesn't hang up - X100P

2004-07-22 Thread Wiley E. Siler



When receiving 
an incoming call, I get sent to my IVR just fine.  My Playback event 
plays back my test file and the itis suppose to Hangup.  The Hangup app 
fires off and I see the console say it hungup the line.  However, I cannot 
receive anymore calls after that.  When I run 'zap show channel 1' I see my 
zap channel in a state of off hook.  The only thing that fixes it is 
stop/restart zaptel.  Does anyone know why this may not be dropping the 
line correctly?

First things first.  I would like to see how your phones are setup in
sip.conf along with your voicemail.conf.  Specifically, what context the
sip phones are put into and whether or not the extensions of the sip
phones match your voicemail boxes.

For example, from my sip.conf file for my extension 7001, I have:

[7001]
context=from-internal
callerid="John Baker" <7001>
type=friend
username=7001
secret=X
host=dynamic
canreinvite=no  ; Cisco poops on reinvite sometimes
qualify=200 ; Qualify peer is no more than 200ms
away
protocol=udp
dtmfmode=rfc2833
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
nat=0
disallow=all
allow=ulaw

and the relevant line from voicemail.conf is

7001 => X,John Baker,[EMAIL PROTECTED],,tz=central

 > Now I need to do something in oss.conf and zapata.conf to ensure

Yeah, this is a mess.  First, are we answering phone calls on the
console?  If yes, you're going to need your incoming phones to ring
/dev/console.  I don't think you want this, so oss.conf can wait.

Second, why does your incoming context also include local and outgoing? 
That doesn't seem to quite right to me.

And what is this?

 > [outgoing]
 > exten => _9.,1,Dial(ZAP/g2/${EXTEN,1})

What is Zap/g2?  I don't see group 2 given in zapata.conf.

need your   incoming phones to ring /dev/console.  I don't
think you want this, so oss.conf can wait.

I can honestly say.  I have no idea.  This is where the idea of contexts
breaks aoart for me.  I want to start out just making my server pass the
ring to a group of phones (see setup in original mail).  Later I am
going to define some IVR stuff and have * pick up the line and route to
people on user input.

Mr. Siler -

I respond in kind...

Oops.  The latest firmware version is 1.2.0

Try http://www.freedomphones.net/polycom/files/ for the latest firmware.

  If you don't show the latest version, (try pressing the right buttons
on your Polycom phone to get a version number) then anything else we
discuss is worthless.

 > I edit my XML docs in notepad only.

DON'T DO THAT!!  Trust me.  I wasted alot of time with a text editor. 
For a free XML editor, I use http://www.xmlcooktop.com/  Oh, and by the
way...

USING AN XML EDITOR IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!  Polycom phones will load
corrupt XML, but not the way you want it.  You will think your changes
have an effect, but if the XML isn't good, then they won't.  Test your
settings with an XML editor!!!  Make sure your config files read OK.

 > This retrieves my mail through the menu system but not directly.

Directly to me means I press the 'Messages' button on my Polycom 600 and
asterisk asks me for a password.  (Asterisk discerns the mailbox from
the extension of the phone) It's one touch (but still password
protected) It's working here and I'm sure we can get it to work at your
office.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP 500 Voicemail

2004-07-20 Thread Wiley E. Siler
I have tried both a nul and the following...

Subscribe = 8
callbackmode = contact
Callback = 8

This retrieves my mail through the menu system but not directly.

I am using the latest firmware from the Wiki. 2.4.2 I believe.

I edit my XML docs in notepad only.

Voicemail answers on extension 8.

Thanks,
Wiley

Why do you have a non-null msg.mwi.1.subscribe?  You're sending a
SUBSCRIBE request to asterisk at extension '8' upon bootup.  Is that
what you want?

Did you upgrade the phone with the latest firmware?

Did you use an XML editor to mess with the configuration?  I messed up
mine once using a text editor.

Is asterisk setup to answer voicemail at extension '8'?

Try the above and let me know.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Installing X100P

2004-07-20 Thread Wiley E. Siler
Could this have to do with the fact that I do not have a copy of the
redhat source code in the palce specified immediately at the top of
Makefile?  The writer makes reference to Redhat breaking stuff and that
the headers...  Here is is...

# Okay, the people at RedHat have to break everything they can possibly
even attempt to.
# So, we have to look in /usr/src/linux-2.4/include for header files
given their brain dead
# crappy installation.  (Mind you, I'm a RedHat user myself, so I
suppose I'm just as
# stupid as they are).  Everyone else who is mildly sane of course links
/usr/include/linux
# to their working kernel source directory, the way God himself does, of
course
# (assuming He's running Linux -- which we all know He must).


Well, I do not have a copy of those src files lcoated there.  I
installed from Redha 9.0 cds.  Do I need to get a copy of the linux
kernal source before I compile the zaptel stuff?

Thanks,
Wiley

My Polycom Message button goes straight to voicemail.  Here's how:

1) Use the latest firmware, available on the Wiki

2) In your phone.cfg file (for each phone) set




3) In your extensions.conf, have something like:

exten => 76,1,VoiceMailMain2([EMAIL PROTECTED])

(Let's assume your voice mailbox is the same as your extension)

Then when you push the message button, asterisk will ask for your
password!  You're in!

I think I saw a reference to a similar problem and it regarded IRQ
issues on the machine in question.  IF there was IRQ sharing, cagey
things happened.  But if the T1 card had a static IRQ, it resolved the
issue.  Does your T1 card have a dedicated IRQ? I am sure someone will
be able to explain further and possibly give you some validation on your
Mobo too?

Hi,
I recently set up the following in a production system (2.8 GHZ Xeon, 1
Gig Memory, Dell 2650).

Telco - PRI - Asterisk - T1 - PBX

I am getting an occasional noticeable echo on some of the phone lines
(random inbound and outbound).  Everyone I ask keeps telling me that I
can't be having echo since I am on a PRI, which is a digital circuit.
Ok, so I can't be having echo, but I am!  Does anyone have any ideas of
what might be causing the echo in this situation?

Wiley,
I don't have any 500s, but I use 600s, which use the same file I think. 
Here is my digitmap:



What this says is that if  I dial 9, then a 7 digit local number, I
don't need to hit send. If I dial 91, then 10 digit long distance
number, I don't need to hit send. If I dial extension 85 plus any 2
digits ex., 8523, I don't need to hit send. If I dial extension 5,6, or
7 plus 2 digits, ex. 635, I don't need to hit send. And if I dial 9411,
or 9911 (info or emergency) I don't need to hit send.
Hope this helps.

Is this bascially setting your bandwith value = high inside of iax.conf?

Or is there another place to designate the codec?

Thanks,

Yes, I don't have any bandwidth issues, so I could use 2 Mbps for 30
calls. I do have issues with processing CPU capacity. Is g711 CPU
intensive as g729 ? I understand g729 is very CPU intensive.

Mine does the same.  Once in Message center I can choose selection
1.Message Center and then soft key Select.Then I select the
registered line that I want to check voice mail on. That is no less than
4 key strokes just to get into your voice mail.  Not many to me but tons
to an unskilled user.  However, in the documentation regarding the
bypassInstantMessage value, supposedly, setting bypassInstantMessage to
1 is supposed to allow you to go right into voice mail without
navigating the Message Center.  That is the big question on my mind at
this point.  I have yet to get this to work and I also don't think I am
receiving any SIMPLE messages ti show me that I have messages waiting.

Do you get a message waiting indicator?

My messages button dumps me right to message center, which I then have

And it is throughly convoluted in the admin guide.  What is the T for?
Pipe obviously separates entries.  X = any digit one would assume? I am
just luooking for a brief explanation.  Thanks.

Here is the excerpt from the manual.

Attribute   
dialplan.digitmap 

Permitted Values
string compatible with
the digit map feature
of MGCP described in
2.1.5 of RFC 3435.
String is limited to 512
bytes and 20 segments;
a comma is
also allowed; when
reached in the digit
map, a comma will
turn dial tone back on.
[2-9]11|0T|
011xxx.T|
[0-1][2-
9]x|
[2-9]x|
[2-9]xxxT

Default Interpretation
When this attribute is
present, number-only
dialing during the setup
phase of new calls will
be compared against the
patterns therein and if a
match is found, the call
will be initiated automatically
eliminating the
need to press Send.

It is all in the Admin Guide you can download from the Polycom web site.

My Polycom is on loan as a demo and I assume it is one of the first
revision models.  In fact it shows as Rev A on the back of the phone.

I have all the same buttons you listed save for the Messages button.
The 3rd from the bottom on the right column of buttons sayd Voice Mail
on my version.  That corresponds to the location of your button that
says Messages.  I assume this was changed by Polycom since their phone
has other messaging capability (isntant message for instance) and it was
easier to use Messages and unify the meaning instead of Voice Mail and
lock it into one type of messaging.

Does your Messages button dump you right into voice mail or do you have
to navigate a menu first?

Thanks,
Wiley

Strange, I have an IP500 right out of the new-plastic-gadget-smell box,
and it doesn't have a button labelled Voicemail.


On the left side are the blue speaker, red mute, and blue headset
buttons, 
then next to them top to bottom are the three Line buttons (clear covers

for putting your own labels), Directories, Services, Call Lists, 
Conference, Transfer, and Redial.

On the right of the system, top side are the 4 way selection pad with 
select and delete, then below that are Menu, Messages, and Do Not
Disturb, 
and finally Hold.

In the middle are the 12 keypad keys, 4 soft keys, and volume + and -
buttons.

No where am I able to find a hard voicemail button.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP 500 Voicemail

2004-07-19 Thread Wiley E. Siler
I read the administrator document repeatedly.  I have not been able to
find a wiki that applied to digitmap feature at all and I have searched
repeatedly and read several of the wikis regarding Polycoms.  The
administrators guide doesn't have enough context explanation to make the
use of the digitmap understandable. 

That is the basis of my request for a digitmap explanation.  I am not
asking someone to write mine for me.  I am asking to see an example and
an explanation that gives context so I can write my own and know I have
done it properly.  My PBX is Asterisk and the setup is about as generic
as generic can be.  Polycoms over SIP to the PBX.

If you know where the wiki is for digitmaps please send it.  If you feel
inspired, a short explanation of the relevance and context of digitmaps
would be greatly appreciated.  I know everyone has to take their own
time to answer these emails and I truly appreciate that.  That is why I
do my research until I hit a wall, then I will ask here. I appreciate
whatever you can spare time for.

Thanks!
Wiley

Check the Administrator's Document.  You can find it on the Wiki, under
IP Phones.. Polycom.  Did you try to look up the digitmap feature before
sending this post?  If not, you should be able to understand it when you
read it, it's relatively straight forward.

No one can setup a correct digitmap for you, as it will vary greatly on
how you have setup your PBX.

I think that feature is inly available on the 1.2.0 sip firmware. It
works on ours but when you press it, you still have to pick a line, then
connect.  The line button goes right to the voicemail.

We programmed line 3 (line 6 on the IP 600s) on each phone with its own
context/registration and set the IP 500 to auto dial into voicemail.

extensions.conf:

[voicemail]
exten => 5501,1,voicemailmain2,[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The phone.cfg file has a setting for autodial.  I assume you can get a
phone registered, but make sure dtmfmode is set to inband and set a
mailbox= line to get MWI working.

I have some Polycom IP 500 phones that I would like to 
have configured for direct dialing to our voice mail system.  
So far I have been unable to get

followed all the Admin Guide instructions regarding the phones .cfg files and using

able to get a Polycom 500 to use the hardbutton to retrieve voice mail and drop directly into voice mail without going 
through all the menus?

I've plugged in two Cisco 7960 phones

The phones register with the Asterisk correctly and I can run the demo's
and even the AIX demo through to digium works correctly...

but I cannot get the phones to dial each other :(

Initially I was getting a "extension not found in local" message (when
dialling from console...from phone just engaged (busy) tone.

when I add extension  from console I now get a "not found 404"
messageI see that there was an earlier thread on the list that
discussed removing the proxy forwarding from the phone settings and I've
tried that from SIPDefault.cnf but it doesn't fix the problem.

I've obviously missed something but am too inexperienced to spot it.

unable to get the hard button labeled Voice Mail to conenct to Asterisk.  I 
have followed all the Admin Guide instructions regarding the .cfg files and 
using  up.bypassInstantMessage="1" up. to no avail.  
Has anyone been able to get a Polycom 500 to use the hardbutton to retrieve 
voice mail?
 
^Thanks,
Wiley
 
    
 


RE: [Asterisk-Users] Using a group variable for a groupofextension to dial

2004-07-17 Thread Wiley E. Siler
Actually doing both sounds good to me.  Can you explain further about
ringing them all at once?
Here is how I tried to make mine work and failed...

{global} 
PHONES0=SIP/2000
PHONES1=SIP/2001

[local]

exten => 6001,1,Dial(${PHONES0&PHONES1),20,trf)

When I dial 6001 I see my debugger tell me that I am using the wrong
syntax.

Do you know the correct syntax for ringing them all at once?

I will check out the queue system you referenced.

Thanks!
Wiley

It would ring all three at the same time. You are probably looking for a
roundrobin call queue ->
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+call+queues

I have never set up a call queue myself so I can't help you more than
pointing you to the link. You could also do what you want with just the
dialplan...

exten => 501,1,Dial(SIP/Phone1,10)
exten => 501,2,Dial(SIP/Phone2,10)
exten => 501,3,Dial(SIP/Phone3,10)

That would ring phone 1 for ten seconds, if it wasn't answered it would
ring phone 2 for ten seconds, etc...

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Using a group variable for a group ofextension to dial

2004-07-17 Thread Wiley E. Siler
That could be it.  What I want to do is set a group of callers and have
the event cause the phone to ring them in order.  I will tie it to my
IVR portion and thus I can make sure peole in sales get calls based on
our hierarchy in the office.  So if I am reading your example right the
syntax is

Exten => 501,1,Dial(SIP/PHONE1&SIP/PHONE2&SIP/PHONE3), rtf)

Is that a valid way to cause it to ring through each of these extensions
or would that result in these three extensions all ringing togeher?

Thanks!
Wiley

[Asterisk-Users] Using a group variable for a group of extension to dial

2004-07-17 Thread Wiley E. Siler



I ahve been 
searching to no avail for a referenc eon how to setup a part of my dial plan 
that will ring certain groups of number based upon the context.  
Essentually, I want to be able to designate 3 people as sales and have my IVR 
handoff and ring their extensions in order.  Then maybe I will ahve a 
couple of people I group together and have them ring if someone selects 2 on the 
IVR for tech support.  Someone used some sytax that employed something like 
($GROUP1, GROUP2, GROUP3) that accomplished this but I cannot find any reference 
to it after googling since ysterday.  Does anyone know how to accomplish 
this task?
 
Thanks,
Wiley

You obviously didn't read the EULA...it says that they can install
software on your phone or redirect it to numbers they have sniffed off
your network.

Luckily, this only happens between 3:45pm and 3:46pm on the 32nd day of
the month.  And only every third month.

This feature is called ALWANCAS (annoying lusers who are never clear
about stuff)

Steve,

For your batch, be sure to include the /s switch after the command so it
runs silent (no prompts)

Since I am quite sure that the program will run without updating any of
the dll's, what I should do is simply register them with regsvr32 from a
batch job and bag the VB6 installer altogether. Before I do that though,
can anyone tell me if regsvr32 ships with standard Win2k/WinXP?

It absolutely ships with Windows 2K/XP versions.  Regsvr32 will work
from any folder on a standard install.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Problem with multiple phones behind firewall

Hi,

I am having a problem when I add multiple phones behind a Symmetric
Firewall.  Heres my situation.


11am - Phone A registers with *
11:01am - test call to Phone A.  Call works fine.
11:02am - Phone B registers with *
11:03am - test call to Phone A fails, test call to phone B works fine.
11:04am - test call from Phone A to Phone B and vice versa works fine.
11:05am - Phone A re-registers with *.  Test call to Phone A works fine
now.



This happens on almost all occasions.  When I see one phone register
behind a firewall, i then see the "Retransmitting #5 (NAT):" messages,
until I received the "Jul 13 15:11:09 WARNING[1133718080]:
chan_sip.c:673 retrans_pkt: Maximum retries exceeded on call
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for seqno 102
(Non-critical Request)"


I have nat=yes in my sip.conf file.  I have tried using the qualify
command, but I have never been able to get it to work behind a symmetric
firewall to both a unknown sip phone and xlite.
The moment I turn on qualify, I see the Options request sent out, and on
the client see the options request, but I never see a response on * from
the clients.



Here is what my sip.conf looks like...


[general]
port = 5060
bindaddr = 64.72.107.10
context = exten
maxexpirey=3000
defaultexpirey=300
disallow=all
allow=alaw
allow=ulaw

[123456]
type=friend
secret=k3v1n
nat=yes

context=cytelmain

[789012]
type=friend
secret=cytel
nat=yes
canreinvite=no
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=rfc2833
context=cytelmain



What else is there for me to try to resolve my NAT problem with multiple
users behind a symmetric firewall?


Thanks,



Harold
