Well - here we have a quandary.

Opinion?  Bad. (But so good)

No outages that I can place on Sixtel - 24/7 rock solid - think a router
hiccupped once for a couple of hours, but it wasn't theirs.

Packet loss - again - as good or better that cell phones.  Can't fault
them (or him) there.

UK termination (DID?) - can't say - thought they (or him) were US only.

Tech support?  Hahahahahahahahahahaha  Ouch - my sides hurt!
Took a month to get a DID.  Still two months gone waiting for a Custom
Toll Free - the primary reason I went with Sixtel...  Though they take
the money from your account as soon as you order.  But then they don't
continue billing until whatever you ordered works.  It just takes SO
long to get it working.

Ed, you should probably go with Cat 6 for your Gigabit network anyway.
so just throw the 'cost' of the cabling on that 8-)  Leave the 'old'
100 MBit plant in place and use that for VoIP.  Then when you 'pull out'
the old Cat 3 for your phones - you can use the Cat 3 for the 'snake' to
pull the new Cat 6.  Leave the VoIP network separate from the data
network.
Better for your 'QOS' too.

Let's you add the 'perception' that the New VoIP will recycle the old
equipment making it even a better 'deal'.

Not as far as I know.  ZAP channels don't get extensions (if it's TDM
card).

Just use exten=>_X.,1,Dial(ZAP/1,60)

But normally you use exten=>,1,Dial(ZAP/1,30)
where  is the extenion you want to 'call' the phone line.
like I use one phone as  so the dialplan know if I want to call
extension  - it uses the exten=>,1,Dial(ZAP/1,30) and out she
goes.

[Asterisk-Users] Compile ZAPTEL warning and Strange Congestion

2005-08-03 Thread brett
Starting - oh - three weeks ago I started getting this when I compiled
zaptel stuff:

In file included from
/lib/modules/2.4.26smp/build/include/linux/spinlock.h:6,
 from
/lib/modules/2.4.26smp/build/include/linux/module.h:11,

/lib/modules/2.4.26smp/build/include/asm/system.h:190: warning:
dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

Just a warning - didn't bother me too much as everything worked any way.
But it did come up in most of the source files.  I think it's just a
compiler option missing. 2.4.26 isn't exactly new 8-)

I only use my * box for a home PBX - nothing critical about it.
Then I started noticing this in the CLI:

I have this in my extension.conf

[default]
exten => s/6305551212,1,Congestion  ; TEST OF CONGESTION

It used to give a busy/congestion signal but now it just rings.

And it really looks like the incoming analog line is 'bouncing' or

I'm in the same boat...  I think we all are.  People are there - they
just don't WANT to talk to anyone.  The beginning of this month the IVR
changed - SOMEONE had to do that.

The numbers I have are 800-987-9891 and 303-785-5014 and from the
inetmedia llc web page I got 866-452-8930 and I thought once I heard the
same IVR from all three but according to Google 866-452-8930 goes to
some herbal-life place.  LOL  Could be!  It didn't sound the same to me
today.

And then today - I saw my calls to them actually being charged against
my sixtel account balance - something I hadn't seen before - so SOMEONE
had to fix that.

But from digging around the Internet I did find out they only started
last August and it looks like a one-man-show so he may have been sick
or in an accident since the end of last month (when I did get a trouble
ticket resolved).  Gee - that was about Noon on a Friday too!  Hm...

I am ready to contact the Denver BBB and Colorado State - I did find
'them' listed on the State business files.  So I have 'their'
addresses
of record - I will wait and see if they bill me for another month for
DID or Toll Free (both still 'Pending') and if they do - they get
registered letters - and a call to the State and I'll pull the last
payment back on the credit card just to pay for the letters.

But their outbound sure works good for me...

Same with most other 'copper' providers - even if they have it - you
can't get it without major bucks...

> Are there any clever solutions to this problem, for the county gov or

So - my thoughts (I used to live on the other side of the Bighorns)
1. What is the cost difference between a T1 'phone' and a T1 'data'
line?
One would think that the Wyoming government should 'help' or get a good
rate on a data line...
2. Replace all your PBXs (like you have one LOL) with Asterisk 8-)
3. Get a VoIP provider (I use a TelIAX exchange out of Sheridan so my Mom
can call locally)
4. Use you 'huge' user base to get a discount/special deal with the
VoIP provider to get 'proper' CID AND a good rate (Hey helping out the
gov and education is a feather for anyone - except QWest)
5. Drop all but 1 analog line for each location (to cover 911 calls)
6. Collect your $50 'bonus' for saving them thousands of dollars a
month.
and
7. Tell QWest to stick it
Can't think of a better way to spend the summer (except camping)

Tharindu -

Try this

 exten => _9XX,1,Dial(Zap/1/9${EXTEN:1})

Basically - dial a the extension prepending a 9 and wait 4 * 0.5 seconds
but strip the first digit from the extension (you have manually dialed the
9 so it has to be stripped off).

You can play with the number of 'w' (a mini-wait command 8-) to get the
proper timing.

You should have some 'new' CLI commands if ooH323 got loaded.
h323 show config Show details on global configuration of H.323 channel

h323 show peer   Show details on specific H323 peer

h323 conf is just about 'normal' except I did have to set the bindaddr

[6633]

I used a AT320 with the latest H323 firmware and it worked quite well.

You have not used a correct Technology in your dial command.

The 'show application dial' says:
Dial(Technology/resource[&Technology2/resource2...][|timeout][|options][|URL])

Technology is the chan_.so file loaded and resource is the defined in
the configuration file for the technology.

So either you need a chan_iax.so - OR - you need to READ the
extension.conf
file.  I have never seen a dial command like yours.  One that is VERY
close
is one like Dial(IAX2/${EXTEN},20)

I am not just picking on you Angus.  I do tend to read almost every
message
coming through the list and I get tired of reading all the questions that
5 minutes of reading the configuration files or searching the wiki (as out
of date as it is) or even typing 'help' at the CLI prompt can remedy.

Guess I'm just getting old...

Well - here on the list I have seen people still using 1.0.5.  Maybe that
info is correct for that version. I don't know. I'm not an expert. I
tend
to use the documentation supplied with and inside asterisk.

And nothing you have said invalidates my statement.  Most questions could
easily be answered by reading... the config files, the help screens, or
the
wiki. I am sure the wiki will have massive updates after the 1.2 freeze
hits.

I am glad we have both had the chance to vent

Well - us old farts have to stand together (no one will stand near
anyway).
But I don't think just saying 'use IAX2' is going to enlighten anyone.
That's why I included the whole Dial(Technology/resource) definition.
There has to be a channel driver for the technology and the technology has
to have a configuration file to assign the resources. I put that all in
there so he could UNDERSTAND. And maybe others reading the list could
understand it as well. And I guess IAX2 vs. IAX is a real bad example. LOL

So be creative!  8-)

500,1,Dial(SIP/1000&SIP/2000&SIP/3000,10)
500,2,Dial(SIP/2000&SIP/3000,10)
500,3,Dial(SIP/3000,10)

Total ring time 30 seconds after the call.

This could get a little convoluted depending on what you really want to do
with it.

But your message did prompt me to check out www.aredfox.com and see if

I have used this phone (as a phone) in all four protocols. Least testing

What kind of 'MWI' are you trying get? Stutter tone? Haven't got that

Sure - it could be - I would check it in another TDM400 slot on the
card to make sure. Also - an outside chance - make sure Tip and Ring
are correct. You could be getting ground loops - depends on the noise.

Probably not Geoff. It is still digital at that point I think.
It should be coming to you as a four wire balanced circuit.
It depends on which legacy PBX you are using (tho it is pretty standard)
And if it wasn't right - it probably wouldn't work at all.

EXACTLY 12 seconds... Sounds like a timeout. Either the TNT or

Min - make sure your DTMF is working on the Idefisk softphone.
You should be able to get to VM by calling the VM number, when
it asks for Mailbox enter the number followed by the # and then
the password followed by the # - it should immediately go to
you mailbox - if it says Mailbox - waits 10 seconds and then says
password and waits 10 more seconds - then your DTMF is not being
recognized by the system.  You have to fix that first.

Otherwise - you have the dialplan set up to accept unregistered
calls from the Idefisk phones. That's probably why you can't call
them and why they don't get to the VM.  If Idefisk is running sip
they can make calls because they send a SIP setup with the number
in it - but then can't pass DTMF.

Don't 'quote me' on this but...  Look in the h323.conf/s and see if you
have two different h323id strings for the servers.  I think it defaults
to 'Asterisk PBX' but the current sample makes it 'ObjSysAsterisk'. I

pretty sure they have to have different names or GNUGK is going to think

I'm pretty sure everywhere I see H323 mentioned - it specifically states

Michael - the clues are in what you originally wrote:

>> stereo connector to the mic input on the computer.

These phones have to be straight analog phones.

Just put in a channel bank/TDM24XX/Sangoma whatever for the call center.
Do not go IP phones there.  Just wire them up they way they are now.
If your investment in the call recording configuration is so great that
you can't/won't change it - there is no reason not to give the rest of
the company the benefits of VoIP.  You just have to kick in some more
money 8-)

Since you say 'not all' are going thru asterisk - just put in a TDM4XX
to test 4 agents or go with the ATA (re use them later for 'at home'
users)
once you have sold the idea to the 'powers that be'.

Chris - just do a reload.  For my SIP stuff it comes back with a warning
and I don't think it says anything for IAX.

It times out after the 10th try (I think) and you should get notices in

Reload has always done it for me.

Dan - as a thought - I am messing with a H323 'capable' IP Phone and I
am (maybe foolishly) trying to use ooh323 with no gateway, gatekeeper,
or anything else and I am not getting it to work too well.  It seems
'sometimes' it does work.

Is there any way - as far as you (or anyone else) knows that this will
work with any flavor of H323 on Asterisk?  I could just be messing up
the configs.

Actually Shawn - those are 'beautiful' faxes...  They are done in
'fine'
mode which doubles the horizontal DPI.

I forget the conversion method but I know when I was using EFax and
HylaFax
they would both do this on a 'fine' fax.

All you have to do is find the right 'post-processor' to get these to
print
right.

You 'should' be able to go into /usr/src/asterisk-addons/
and do a 'make update'.  This should only update the addons
directory...  But I have been wrong before...

Oh ya - this is SIP!  Check you rtp.conf and forward those ports UDP as
well.

And set your SIP client to use them if you can. Otherwise change them.

OK - I been wrong so many times this week - it ain't funny...

But - I think - this part of the scheduling change to the registration
stuff.

In one update, when a remote phone/system stopped responding to qualify
attempts, the system would stop trying to verify the connection. 
Forever.
Not exactly a 'good thing'.  It would tell you that by saying Forever
but
still not good.

Then an update added some stuff to ?iax.conf? like:
;qualify=yes
;qualifysmoothing = yes
;qualifyfreqok = 12
;qualifyfreqnotok = 3

to modify how and when the system would retry these connections.

During the time between the first and second update, I would get these
messages when I did an iax2 reload.  It had stopped trying to qualify the
connection - and then the reload would start it backup.  It would
'inform'
me with the 'attempted to delete nonexistant schedule entry' because the
time of the next scheduled event was no longer active.

So in essence - it is a warning and not an error.

Well - number 1 - it IS - CVS HEAD.

Next - I always run "make samples".  In the /etc/asterisk/ directory it
renames all your old config files that have changed to *.old.

So long as you don't stop and restart Asterisk - its fine.  Just diff the
two files and you get to see the differences.

Now that seems a 'funny' thing to do as you are thinking - heck ALL my
configs are 'different' - as are mine.  But I keep a subdirectory full
of MY config files (just in case) and I also keep a subdirectory full of
the LAST updates config files just to compare against.  After seeing
what's new - fixing MY config files - moving the NEW ones to the latest
subdirectory - moving MY config files back to the working directory -
THEN I restart Asterisk.

It's called system administration.  One day I'll set it up with a
script, but right now it isn't bad or too much work.  But I do update
almost everyday.

Ronald...

IF I had customers who needed different languages via sip.conf...
I would use the - er... language= setting in there.

But I don't know if realtime uses it - and I don't know what version of
asterisk (or [EMAIL PROTECTED] - or whatever) you are using.

Apparently I misunderstood the use of the word 'language'...

You mean English, Spanish, Italian, and German - or the actual wording of
prompt itself?

For a language - set the 'language=en' or 'language=es' in the
sip.conf for
that user.  It is 'supposed' to be carried through.  Should be
something on
the wiki about it.

If you mean the wording or the prompts/IVR etc - well - that's why you
get
the 'big bucks'.  8-)

Bingo!  You got it!  Timeout the dial after X seconds - and then do a Dial
to both companies for another another X seconds.

Remember - busy does a jump to n+101 (some one is there...) and
unavailable
just goes to the next step.

Doug,

Whenever I have gotten to this point in a project, I use two rules for
handling the situation.

Rule 1. Booze
Rule 2. Throw money at it.

Rule 1 makes me feel better.
Rule 2 takes care of the problem but...
If the boss isn't happy - fall back to Rule 1.

The hardest target to hit in the programming shooting gallery is the
moving one.  Unless you 'sold' the powers that be that Asterisk is the
answer to all questions... then you made your bed... but as I remember,
I think you got 'stuck' with this one.

You can probably (but I doubt it) buy a system that will do all this
for you. Probably not out of the box tho and probably not without a
large 'programmers' bill to boot. And several third-party packages.

So grab your favorite alcoholic beverage, nail down what they want, and
start solving the problems.  Even if it takes a year - it will be better
and cheaper than anything they can purchase.

Hey Maxx!  Get on over to voipuser.org and read the forums.
They are based out of London I believe and if you need any
info on VoIP in the UK they are an extremely good source.
You probably don't want to use their 'service' but they
are extremely knowledgable.

[Asterisk-Users] X100P and NTL (ex Cable + Wireless)

2004-04-12 Thread Alex Brett
Firstly, let me just say I am new to asterisk and if anything I've said 
is covered in an FAQ or in previous posts I apologise but I have tried 
searching and I've attempted a few of the things I found but they didn't 
help.

Has anybody got any experience using an X100P on an NTL phone line in 
the UK (I'm in an ex Cable & Wireless area if that makes any difference).

The problem I'm having (and judging by the number of references to it 
I've found searching it is a common one) is getting * to detect when the 
line has been hung up.  It doesn't matter if it comes through to a 
person directly as they can just hang that phone up, but when it hits 
voicemail, and it sits there for two minutes recording an empty message, 
and then emails it to the person it can be a bit annoying!

There are a couple of possible things that I realize could be causing 
it, the most major being that the phone wiring to the port that asterisk 
is plugged into is a bit dodgy and I think there is a fair amount of 
interference which I suspect could be annoying it a bit.

The other possible problem is that when someone hangs up, the tone that 
comes down the phone line to indicate that it has been hung up lasts for 
about 4 seconds, and then the line just goes silent - would this mean 
that the busy detect mechanism would not detect that it has been hung up?

Thanks in advance,
Alex Brett

I would be interested in seeing this code, as I have found that the 
hangup signal I get lasts for an exact amount of time before the line 
goes silent, so if I time it precisely, I may be able to adapt the code 
to only trigger if the tone lasts greater than a certain amount but less 
than another amount, which should prevent it triggering on voices (as it 
is about 4 seconds and the likelihood of that tone coming from a female 
voice and lasting 4 seconds is slim).

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Problem with x-ten lite

2004-04-17 Thread Alex Brett
The problem could be to do with the silence surpression feature in X-ten 
Lite.  If you go into Advanced System Settings, Audio Settings, Silence 
Settings, you should have Transmit Silence set to Yes as Asterisk has a 
compatibility issue with the way it tries to surpress transmitting the 
silence (or at least it did when I first used it and I'm assuming it 
still does, if I'm wrong please feel free to correct me...).

Shad Mortazavi wrote:

I’m sure this is a configuration issues, but I can work out where?

 

Can someone point me in the right directions?

[Asterisk-Users] Modems compatible with NTL caller id

2004-04-22 Thread Alex Brett
I'm looking at using a modem to provide caller ID info on my NTL line 
following the steps in the article posted by Darren Poulson:

http://www.22balmoralroad.net/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=1

I was wondering if anybody had experience of using any modems (can be 
pci/isa/external) with an ntl line (in an ex. Cable & Wireless area if 
it makes a difference) and would know which modems will pick up the 
caller id.  Failing anybody having direct experience, does anybody know 
what caller id standard NTL use so I can find a modem that supports that 
standard or even maybe get Asterisk working with it directly (I haven't 
actually looked yet to see if Caller ID is enabled on the line I'm using 
so it could be as simple as just getting ntl to switch it on).

Thanks,

Re: [Asterisk-Users] PSTN Call drops randomly

2004-04-23 Thread Alex Brett
Do you need the busy detect feature as this often can cause random drop 
outs.

Try changing busydetect=yes to busydetect=no in zapata.conf.

Assuming that asterisk still works (i.e. it detects when people hang up 
and when lines are busy (most lines will do it ok but some won't (e.g. 
ntl cable in the UK from personal experience)) then that *should* solve 
your problem, if not then something more serious is going on.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Using Exchange to send voicemail message

2004-04-25 Thread Alex Brett
As far as I know asterisk won't talk directly to an SMTP server.

All you have to do is set sendmail to relay all mail through your 
exchange server (the DS directive in sendmail.cf) and then you are 
sorted, the only difference between it directly talking to the exchange 
server is one extra 'Received from' header on the e-mail.

Paul Tyreman wrote:
An of course, its SMTP that I need.

I don't want sendmail to send mail to the exchange server, I want to use the
exchange server to send the mail in the first place !
What I want to do is forget about sendmail, and make an account on the
exchange server for asterisk to send mail from.
Can that be done ?

Thanks, Paul.

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Using Exchange to send voicemail message
IMAP and POP3 are used for the MUA to get access to a mailbox.  They are not
used for delivering messages to a mailbox, but for reading message out of a
mailbox.
What you are looking for, is an SMTP gateway.  Sendmail is an SMTP MTA that
can be configured to send the email (via SMTP/ESMTP) to the Exchange server.
All you really need to do is have the DNS MX records for foo.com pointing to
your Exchange server.  Then, in voicemail.conf you would have the email
address set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Of course, change foo.com to whatever your domain, for the Exchange server,
is. And, make sure you have the SMTP connector configured for Exchange.

[Asterisk-Users] dial application - continue in context

2004-05-21 Thread Brett Nemeroff
Title: Message



Hi 
All,
I'm tring to do some 
DB operations before and after a call. I see the 'g' option in dial to continue 
in context if the destination hangs up, but what if the originator hangs 
up?
 
Basically I do a DB 
get/put before the call is placed. After the call is completed I want to do 
another get/put; however the dial application dies when the originator hangs 
up.
 
Any way to get 
around this? Perhaps there is a better way to do this (AGI?)
 
Thanks,
Brett

You either need to run a CRON job for this clean up, or do that at the 
beginning of the next call - whatever suits you better.

Note: The h extension is not reliable enough to solve your problem.

[Asterisk-Users] Sip Registration Problem

2004-05-24 Thread Brett Nemeroff
Title: Message



Hi 
All,
I had an unusual 
problem today; I'm sure it's a configuration problem. 
 
I had 2 phones 
behind a nat device and I had qualify=300 in both extensions config. The device 
I was talking to was an edgewater traffic shaper,/Sip Proxy. Since it is acting 
as a sip proxy, it was ignoring the OPTIONS messages that * was sending, and 
thus * interpreted that as the extensions being down. 
 
I removed the 
qualify lines and sip reload [ed]. The extension still showed up as 
"UNREACHABLE" instead of "UNMONITORED". I had to do a full restart to get it to 
stop sending the OPTIONS messages. 
 
What did I do wrong 
here? How can I make a change to qualify without restarting?
 
Thanks all,
Brett

If a peer is registred at reload/sip reload, it will not change.
You have to unload the sip module and reload it or restart asterisk
to change the configuration of a registred, i.e. active, peer.

[Asterisk-Users] TE110P yellow errors

2005-01-25 Thread Brett Murphy
Hi All,
I have a TE110P in E1 mode, in a dell poweredge 250.
The 30 channel E1 supplied is from a telco in Australia, with the following 
in my zaptel.conf:

span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3
bchan=1-15
dchan=16
bchan=17-31
(yes the provider has NOcrc4 for some reason)
After installing the latest cvs libpri and zaptel, I successfully loaded 
the kernel modules.
The card is verified as not sharing an interrupt with anything else.

The problem is I continuously get yellow errors, the IRQ missed counter 
goes up, and
the light on the card blinks b/w red and green.

I have verified the cabling, as it works fine in the E1 port of a cisco 
router below it.

Any ideas most welcome thanks.

[Asterisk-Users] Reccomendation for reliable handsets

2005-02-02 Thread Brett, Gary
Hi there

I'm sure this question has been raised a number of times before, but
unfortunately I do not have direct access to the archives

I am about to roll out Asterisk to a few companies and would like to hear
your experiences about the various handsets/phones that are Asterisk
compatible

I am primarily looking for 2 options, the first being a cheaper model which
will provide reliability whilst still maintaining a reasonable feature set,
and a reliable model from the more expensive range with more features

But the definite focus here is on reliability and ease of maintenance 



Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated; I would really like to hear
your experiences/recommendations

Cheers
Gary

[Asterisk-Users] Web based Asterisk management tool

2005-02-09 Thread Brett, Gary

Hi there

I am new to Asterisk and am looking for a web based management tool, for
managers to manage hunt groups, extensions etc and for user to have access
to there own phone features. I have seen there are a number of commercial
tools available for this, but I presume there are some freeware options too

I noticed one that I like at http://www.thirdlane.com/screenshots.htm but I
am assuming this is just a freeware product that has been re-badged so to
speak.

If any body can give me some suggestions that would be great

Regards
Gary

Thanks for the responses, isn't [EMAIL PROTECTED] an pre-configured distribution
for small systems?? I am looking for an open source web management tool to
use on any size asterisk server (even ones that are already up and running)
the user base could be anything between small and large with many external
lines, 

Ive looked at AMP, is it free ? and are there any alternatives or is AMP the
only open source web management tool ?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Web based Asterisk management tool

2005-02-09 Thread Brett, Gary
Thanks Dean, you say that " [EMAIL PROTECTED] is just an automated way of
installing AMP and FOP and Web Meetme." But from the installation
instructions I have read, you download an ISO image that installs a linux
distro for you (destroying current install) and then configures itself for
use

I do not want to overwrite any existing systems, here is a quote from the
installation page of [EMAIL PROTECTED]

1) Burn [EMAIL PROTECTED] iso to a blank CD 

2) Boot your Asterisk PC with the CD and press enter NOTE: This will erase
all data on the hard drive of the PC!!! 

Etc etc

All I want is the web config tool ! Apologies if I am misunderstanding you
here, as I say I am quite new to this and need to get up to speed fast

For an Admin only web based product, is AMP my only option ??

Cheers again

You need to go back and reread.

It is just pretty much an asterisk configuration tool (ok some minor things
in the backend but it's the best out there).

AMP is available for free download but they make their money by offering
support.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] is just an automated way of installing AMP and FOP and Web
Meetme.

If you really have a need to support thousands of extensions as you suggest
then you should really go back and learn how to program asterisk with a
database yourself from scratch.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Reccomendation for reliable handsets

2005-02-14 Thread Brett, Gary
Thanks Mark

I am definitely interested in the budgetone 102 but am a little concerned
about the 10mbit only Ethernet ports !! From what I have read, these are
relatively new models and I like the addition of a second port to daisy
chain your PC from the same network connection, however why 10mbits and not
100mbits ??, I would have thought this would be a minimum these days, I
don't know anyone who still runs 10mbits to the desktop, and im not too
happy about bottlenecking my customers fast Ethernet network with these
phones

A real shame really. Does anybody know if Grandstream will be addressing
this or indeed if they have any current models with at least 100mbit ports

there is almost no support for them..

They do lock up occasionally (once a month to once every 3 months). I

[Asterisk-Users] Digium Cards connecting to BT

2005-02-14 Thread Brett, Gary
Hi there

Just a general question, has anybody experienced any problems with any
Digium telephony cards in the UK, specifically with BT (British Telecom)
lines. I just want to make sure there are no compatibility issues before
purchasing cards, (mainly TDM400P's)

Any comments would be greatly appreciated

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Reccomendation for reliable handsets

2005-02-14 Thread Brett, Gary
Bob, Thanks for your reply, im not sure what top posting is, but I have been
on holiday and am simply replying to a response that was given to my
original question, If you could explain to me how I go about continuing the
thread it would be much appreciated, with regards to your reply, I am indeed
daisy chaining to the PC, hence my post point regarding bottlenecking the
100mbits to the desktop 

I just find it hard to understand the point of releasing a phone with a 2
port hub yet still limiting to ports to 10mbits, anyway , I take it there
are no alternatives from budgetone, so I will have to at other low cost
models

Thanks all

Please do not top post.

I don't think there is a single IP phone which can flood a 10Mbps port.
You do not need 100Mbps on a phone unless it has a passthrough to a PC.

Let's see, using a 64Kbps codec and being generous, will use 100Kbps
on the wire. Assuming the 10Mbps port can reliably run at 8Mbps, that
means the phone would have to have 8 * 1000 / 100 = 80 concurrent
RTP streams. Can anyone see anything wrong with my rough calculations?

[Asterisk-Users] asterisk@home in production env

2005-02-15 Thread Brett, Gary

Hi there
 
I just wanted to know what the difference between [EMAIL PROTECTED] and manually
built boxes actually is ?? What makes [EMAIL PROTECTED] a "home" system ? Is it
not a good idea to run [EMAIL PROTECTED] then modify/tweak it to use in a 
production
environment ??, if so why not, would somebody be able to explain this to me,
it seems to have a "hobbiest" tag associated with it, and i just wanted to
know the difference
 
cheers
Gary

[Asterisk-Users] Voicemail / Dial command issue

2005-03-27 Thread Alex Brett
Hi,
I have a load of IAX extensions, which I'm trying to set up a standard 
macro to dial them, which gives unavailable or busy voicemail if there 
is no answer or the phone is in use respectively.

The macro I have at the moment is:
; std-exten macro, ${ARG1} = Device to call, ${ARG2} = voicemail box
[macro-std-exten]
; Call the user for 20 seconds
exten => s,1,Dial(${ARG1},20,tr)
exten => s,2,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
; If unavailable, go to voicemail
exten => s-NOANSWER,1,Voicemail(u${ARG2})
exten => s-NOANSWER,2,Hangup
; If busy, go to voicemail
exten => s-BUSY,1,Voicemail(b${ARG2})
exten => s-BUSY,2,Hangup
And the bit of the dial plan that calls this is:
exten => 2002,1,Macro(std-exten,IAX2/2002,2001)
(Ignore the fact I'm using voicemail box 2001, its just as I haven't set 
2002 up yet).

Now, from what I can tell this should be fine. The noanswer bit works 
perfectly, if I call it and don't answer, I hit voicemail with the 
unavailable message, however, if the phone is in use and it gets called, 
it also hits the unavailable message rather than the busy message. I've 
done a bit of digging and as far as I can tell the Dial command seems to 
be ignoring the response from the IAX, take this for example (the 
receiving phone (2002) has dialled an extension I've set up that just 
plays hold music, and is at x.x.x.x (IPs masked for security reasons). 
The dialling phone is at y.y.y.y):

This is extension 2002 calling hold music, nothing strange here:
-- Accepting AUTHENTICATED call from x.x.x.x:
   > requested format = ilbc,
   > requested prefs = (),
   > actual format = ilbc,
   > host prefs = (),
   > priority = mine
-- Executing MusicOnHold("IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "") in new stack
-- Started music on hold, class 'default', on IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This is the call coming in from the second phone to call 2002:
-- Accepting AUTHENTICATED call from y.y.y.y:
   > requested format = ilbc,
   > requested prefs = (),
   > actual format = ilbc,
   > host prefs = (ilbc),
   > priority = mine
-- Executing Macro("IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 
"std-exten|IAX2/2002|2001") in new stack
-- Executing Dial("IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "IAX2/2002|20|tr") in 
new stack
-- Called 2002

This seems to make sense, here is the IAX handler saying that the call 
was rejected by x.x.x.x as it is In call:

Mar 27 20:26:56 WARNING[25053]: chan_iax2.c:6735 socket_read: Call 
rejected by x.x.x.x: In call
-- Hungup 'IAX2/2002-6'

This is what confuses me, as it seems the Dial application (or is it 
something else?) is saying that it is a no answer rather than a busy!

  == No one is available to answer at this time (1:0/0/0)
At this point it has obviously set the ${DIALSTATUS} to NOANSWER and 
hence the rest of the call follows this:

-- Executing Goto("IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "s-NOANSWER|1") in 
new stack
-- Goto (macro-std-exten,s-NOANSWER,1)
-- Executing VoiceMail("IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "su2001") in new 
stack
-- Playing '/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/2001/unavail' 
(language 'en')
  == Spawn extension (macro-std-exten, s-NOANSWER, 1) exited non-zero 
on 'IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]' in macro 'std-exten'
  == Spawn extension (internal, 2002, 1) exited non-zero on 
'IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
-- Hungup 'IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'

And finally I hang up extensions 2002:
-- Stopped music on hold on IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  == Spawn extension (internal, 500, 1) exited non-zero on 
'IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
-- Hungup 'IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'

In case it is needed, relevant portions of iax.conf:
[general]
bandwidth=high
allow=all
disallow=lpc10
jitterbuffer=no
notransfer=yes
[2002]
type=friend
username=2002
secret=**
host=dynamic
notransfer=yes
context=internal
If anybody could shed any light on this strange behaviour, it would be 
much appreciated, as otherwise I'm just going to have to roll with one 
voicemail message which isn't a huge problem, but slightly annoying.

Thanks in advance,
Alex Brett

[Asterisk-Users] ISDN question

2005-03-30 Thread Brett, Gary
Hi there

I wonder if anybody has had this problem before, I am running Asterisk v1.06
stable on FC1 with a digium TE110p card (I am in the UK so am using E1
through British Telecom with my * server as the PRI_CPE). The strange thing
is, everything is fine, no problems with asterisk, the card comes up fine I
can receive calls, but the problem comes when making calls, when I dial out,
it gets to the British Telecom exchange and brings back the BT message "The
number you have dialled has not been recoginised" . so the first thing I did
was to make sure that the number was the full telephone number, and indeed
it is, my dial plan does not prepend any digits to outbound calls so there
is no reason to doubt that I am sending the full string to BT, even my CLI
has the full number ie Zap/g1/02087775566 , very strange. I am fortunate
enough to have at my disposal a spare E1 card on a 3com NBX Voip Switch, so
as a test ran a back to back E1 crossover between the 3Com and the * Server.
I configured the dial plan on the 3com to forward whatever it received
directly out to the telco (with no digit manipulation, effectivly bridging
the call) and hey presto, the destination phone rings. I check the logs of
the 3com NBX, and indeed it receved the full number and passed it straight
on to BT successfully, however if I connect * straight to BT , BT don't
recognise what I send them...

I am quite new to ISDN technologies and am little confused how this can
happen, Is there something I am missing here, what else gets passed to the
telco from the PRI_CPE end??



Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Asterisk-Users] inband DTMF with IAX

2005-04-24 Thread Alex Brett
Hi,
I am currently having a problem where I am making outbound calls via 
IAX, these calls are then being routed by my provider through a SIP 
connection to a service providing PSTN access.

The problem I have is the the DTMF is being sent inband over the SIP 
connection, and I am only receiving the DTMF inband on my IAX connection 
which asterisk is sensibly ignoring as from what I understand with IAX2 
the DTMF should be sent out-of-band.

I assume the simplest way to fix it is for my provider to put a 
dtmfmode=inband on the sip.conf entry for their PSTN provider, then 
presumably their asterisk would see the DTMF and send them out-of-band 
over the IAX2 channel, however, they are understandably wary of doing 
this in case it affects any of their other services which currently work 
perfectly...

Is there any way to get Asterisk to listen for inband DTMF from an 
outbound IAX2 channel so that I can get round this problem in a simple way?

(The reason I need to get DTMF on an outbound call is I am trying to set 
up a 'press 1 to accept the call' system for forwarding calls to mobiles).

Thanks in advance,
Alex Brett

[Asterisk-Users] Cost field in Call Detail Records (cdr)

2005-04-29 Thread Brett, Gary
Hi there

I don't know if this utility is available anywhere at the moment but I
thought id ask you guys if you know of one


What I would like is a way of adding a field to my cdr records (either the
Master.csv or a destination mysql table) for cost !  based on some sort of
config file (or table) which has a listing of all the tariffs for particular
prefixes, ie in the UK, the 0870 prefix is national rate at £0.04p per
minute (don't know if that is exact btw !) so I would like a way of adding a
field that determines , for example that extension 7201 made a 4 minute call
to an 0870 number and therefore that call has cost £0.16p.  

I can then get my reporting software to pull this additional field into the
report

Is there anything around that does this sort of thing, open source or
otherwise ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Feedback needed! FindMe/FollowMe Feature Spec.

2004-06-03 Thread Brett Nemeroff
Hi Brian,
I think this is good that you are doing this; it's a much desired
features. Here are some ideas. Some of which will need to be handled by
some ancillary plug ins.


1. Ability to configure both serial and parallel follow me calls. (see
example)
2. Ability to configure ring seconds for each 'leg' of the followme
circuit
3. Ability to announce call to caller. "This is a follow me call for
'sipuser' push X to accept". User would dial 1 and call would be
connected. If user dials something else (?) or hangs up, call continues
followme patter (caller continues to hear ring or music)
4. Ability to configure if a password is required to connect the call.
Rational here (and can be applied to 2 as well) is this. I use forward
me to many locations. Some of them may not be 'my' phone. Lets say, I'm
in someone elses office I work in frequently. I want the call 1)to be
announced as being for me, and 2) the option to NOT allow anyone but me
accept the call. Seems that the VM password may be good to use here, but
perhaps an override password would be good if there is a separate config
anyway
5. Ability to configure if caller hears rings,music, or a custom
announcement ("Hi this is Brett, please wait while I am located") during
find me operation. Perhaps 
6. Ability for the caller to 'break' the followme application. For
example, "Hi this is Brett, please wait while I am located. Press # to
leave a voicemail or 0 to speak to an operator". This is probably best
suited as an option to pass to the application itself: Exten =>
FollowMe(${CONTEXT}${EXTEN},#0) BTW, have a better suggestion than
${CONTEXT}${EXTEN} for multi-tenant configurations? 
7. Perhaps have a "ring indefinate"  option somewhere too... This may be
a bad reason for billing, security, DOS, etc..
8. Time of day controls!!! Follow me differently on the weekend! Don't
follow me during the workday.
9. Web based follow me setting.
10. Phone based followme setting. 
11. A system to override current follow me setting. Two ways of doing
this. One would be a permanent change to follow me settings and
schedule. Ie. I don't care what time of day controls say, use my
"BrettWeekend" schedule. This would be like if the office is closed for
a week for the holidays. Or the other would be a temporary change until
the next timeperiod is met (similar to chaging the temp on a
programmable thermostat). An example here is, I'm leaving work early,
set my Active Schedule to "BrettAfterWork" now. Then when it's time for
"BrettDaytime" to go into effect, it takes back over as usual.

I've implemented follow me systems before, so I've thought about this a
lot. Below is a sample config I could imagine

Example for your config file:
Followme.conf (?) forgive 'pseudo-config' like structures. Please
recommend alternatives if desired.
[sipuser]
; Priority => Extension,Ring Seconds,Announce,Password
; Note: 1 => 7135551212,10,0,1 would probably be confusing and
undesireable
; Ringtype = Music, Ring, or Custom(${soundfile}, ) =1/0
;   Ringtype can be at top for default option or in each timeperiod
; Timeperiod = Defined call period in conf file general section or time
range in some format, cron style?
; VMExt = The voicemail extension in the present context

Ringtype => Music
VMExt => 6000
ScheduleName => BrettDaytime
Timeperiod => Daytime
1 => 7135551212,10,1,1
2 => 7135551213,10,1,1
3 => 7135551214,10,0,0
3 => 7135551215,10,1,0
4 => ${VMExt},0,0,0

ScheduleName => BrettOther
Timeperiod => Other
1 => 7135551215,10,1,0
2 => ${VMExt},0,0,0

What do you think?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Receptionist manager program.

2004-06-04 Thread Brett Nemeroff
Jeremy,
Thank you. That is what I mean. And I'm sitting here, looking at the
debug window and scratching my head as to HOW he might be using
"extension".??

My phone is defined as ACME1000 in sip.conf
In extensions.conf I have a:

Exten => 1000,1,Dial(SIP/ACME1000) (well, basically)

So when I'm at "extension" 1001 (ACME1001 in sip.conf) and I dial 1000.
The debug shows the call going to ACME1000. How do you know that
"extension" 1000 is ringing?! It seems that you might be making some
assumptions on some configuration parameters such as, technology for the
extension, context usage, interface naming conventions (sip.conf).

I did notice that if I put [EMAIL PROTECTED] for my extension in the
prefs.conf file that the voicemail count seems to work. Can you clue me
in here as to how to make the other features work. Seems like something
I could really use!

BTW, I'm a little new to the manager interface, so perhaps I'm just
interpreting the messages I see in the debug window.

Thanks!
-Brett

I think what he means is this:

I can have extension 104 defined in multiple contexts, for instance if I
host virtual pbxs for multiple customers on one * box.  The syntax of my
* conf files requires @ if I want to differentiate
between these extensions.  If you're using the * box for  one business,
and you ensure that the same extension is not used in multiple contexts
you're ok.  But otherwise...  

Same goes for voicemail -- I can have voicemail box 104 in the voicemail
context [great_customer], and another 104 in voicemail context
[really_great_customer].

Scott,
I haven't done *any* research into this but.. I'm using a Sipura2000 and
I have my laptop modem attached to it. I'm forcing alaw or ulaw encoding

like "static" instantly "come on". Very unusual. Not sure what the
source of it is yet.. Don't laugh, I made my call out on FWD.. :) So I'm
not too confident of it working. Let us know if you get modem calls to
work. I'm interested as well.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Don't want a ring before voice menu

2004-06-08 Thread Brett Nemeroff
John,
If your FXS lines are ringing, it's because your dialplan spells out
that the line is to ring. If you don't want it to ring, don't Dial that
Zap line. 

Otherwise If you have an analog phone attached to the same line as
the FXO card, you will always hear some amount of ring. Since there is
no comprehensive signalling method, the only way Asterisk knows that an
analog phone is ringing is to.. Well.. Let it ring and detect that it is
happening.

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Don't want a ring before voice menu


I should have been clearer in my description of the scenario.

What I have is an FXO port connected to an analog line, with 3 FXS
extensions. With an incoming call, the phone connected to one of the FXS
ports will ring once before  kicking in to the voice menu. Eventually,
say when the caller presses "0", the call is routed to that extension
and the phone rings again the way I've configured it to.

Ideally, we would rather not hear the extension ring at all the first
time.

In short, all incoming calls ring to the extension before the caller
gets presented with a voice menu. For now, I've told the receptionist
(the person at that extension) to just let it ring.

I hope this is somewhat clearer

The DISA application is traditionally for this functionality.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] 911 emergency service and VoIP

2004-06-16 Thread Brett Nemeroff
Joe,
This is highly implementation specific. Perhaps I can give you some
pointers to help you out. BTW, if you just happen to be in Texas, I can
provide you with a list.
"Regular" 911 calls are answered by a PSAP. Voip calls also goto a PSAP,
but are handled differently. In fact, in most regions there aren't clear
ways of handling these calls as of yet.

Here are some pointers.
1. Do NOT call the PSAP. They are very busy, and in general are the
WRONG organization to contact. Instead you want the "911 Agency" for the
area you are to serve. This is either a "Council Of Governments" or an
"Emergency Communications District" depending on when it was formed. For
example, here in Houston, the 911 Agency just happens to be the "Harris
County ECD". The Houston 911 Agency's website is (coincidential)
http://www.911.org You must MUST start with them before you do ANYTHING
911. Certifications are required. http://www.nena.org is a good starting
point.. Use "search"
2. If you are going to do 911, you must send LOCATION (ie: address)
information to the 911 database. I do this through Intrado
http://www.intrado.com through a product called "data exchange"
3. Depending on your connectivity, understand that the 911 agency and
PSAP don't care what technology you use to connect to your customer. So
if you can provide ANI, you are pretty much good to go. 
4. For what it's worth; my traditional VoIP service offering will
deliver 911 calls in the indentical manner as my non VoIP calls. 

If you'd like to talk specifics I can help you but I'd have to request
that we take it off list since I feel that it is outside of the scope of
the list. You can reach me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-Brett

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] 911 emergency service and VoIP



I understand that most VoIP providers allow for 911 calling but that 911
service is not the same as that available to PSTN.

>From what I understand a 911 Call Will Go To A General Access Line at
the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). This is different from the 911
Emergency Response Center where traditional 911 calls go.

Does anyone know how I can get information on howto contact the people
at the Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs)?  Is there alist somewhere
I can reference.

thanks

[Asterisk-Users] 4 port BRI options ?

2005-06-03 Thread Brett, Gary
Hi there


I am in the UK.. and am running latest asterisk on FC1 (2.4 kernel). I would
like to know what the best option is for a 4 port BRI card. I notice Digium
don't provide one.. I have heard the Junghanns do one...but are there others
??

Is the Junghanns card reliable/stable with good sound quality ?? I notice it
is very expensive in a per port comparison with the Digium cards hence
why I am also looking for alternative cards


Your experiences would be greatly appreciated
Gary

Wow that eicon is certainly quite expensive... ive found 2 sellers in the UK
so far selling at over £1000 . I think the Junghans comes in at around £600.
Is the Eicon that much better ?

[Asterisk-Users] defining the zap channel used on inbound analogue calls

2005-02-18 Thread Brett, Gary

Hello all

I am relatively new to asterisk and am sure this will be a simple question
to answer. I have a TDM400p card and I am in the process of creating my dial
plan, however I am a bit stuck on one thing. I have 2 analogue lines (each
obviously with its own DDI) connected to the card; I want to set it up so
that if I dial inbound to the first DDI (e.g. 0208777) it will go to the
IVR and when I ring inbound to the second DDI (e.g. 0208777) I want it
to go directly to the SIP phone internally. Its with the latter I am having
the issue 

My problem is this  Due to the fact these are analogue lines, I realise
that the DDI is not sent to the TDM400P so I presume the only way for the
dial plan to filter inbound calls is by the Zap Channel it came in on? (In
my case Zap/1 and Zap/2). I have tried the following

--
[globals]

INBOUND=Zap/2

[default]

exten => ${INBOUND},1,Answer
exten => ${INBOUND},2,Background(soundfile),tT
exten => ${INBOUND},3,Hangup

--
I also tried 
exten => Zap/2,1,Answer

And

exten => Zap/2-1,1,Answer

And various other combinations all to no avail, is it possible to filter by
the Zap channel used ?, Surely if I want to direct call a phone, I donât
have to go through an IVR everytime ?? (I realise this wouldnât be an issue
with ISDN).
 
I noticed also in some documentation that you have to use an âsâ for all
analogue traffic, is this the case ?? and if so can you use it in
conjunction with a zap channel definition ??

So in summary, How does the dialplan define the Zap channel used on inbound
analogue calls

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Gary
