I am very new to asterisk (in fact, I won't even be getting my digium hardware until the 15th), so I'm sorry if this question isn't up to par with the other discussions going on. Does anyone know of any info on this? If not, is there a particluar file that I can grep out what I need and send to the display? Kris Edwards icq*5661686 Kris, Thats an interesting thought... Since the source code is available you could always modify it to either send the data to the serial port or into a file that you could monitor and then extract what you are looking for. Also the Manager Interface (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+GUI) might be another source of the data. When I start * I redirect the console log to a file.. That file could be displayed on the LCD as an indication of current activity. Robert ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

We are looking now to improve GS products and start collecting all bugs/probs and send them to GS. Idea is that we are opening Online forums and special Grandstream products mailing list. Some support people from Grandstream will be participating in Forums and Mailing lists, so we will have direct communication between GS and Online community, hopefully it will help us to solve more probs. Grandstream is very interested to make nice product and sell more, so they will be fixing bugs for sure, otherwise they will be out of business. Alexander, I agree with your email but setting up MORE forums and mailing lists is not productive. GS phones have problems interacting with the VoIP services and Asterisk. The BEST places for the GS folks to get feedback AND to interact with the people who are using their phones are on these already existing mailing lists. I don't know why you insist on creating even more websites/email lists for VoIP support. Why not encourage GS to get visible on these lists and interact with their customers here, where they can get the most concentrated feedback (good and bad). Also, a comment for the general list. To me BETA code means that it is NOT yet RELEASED as PRODUCTION code. For anyone to think that Beta code comes without problems is being a bit shortsighted. If you get beta code that works without problems then that is great, otherwise give the developer feedback so that he can fix the bugs and don't complain about the problems it caused you. Otherwise wait on the official production releases. Robert ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

What you do for documentation/packaging is probalby not covered under GPL. You make some good points but I think that the solution is not to commercialize everything.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Demo Weather Report AGI v2.0
Cepestral was installed and working within 10 mins of my decision to purchase it. It's $30.00 and can be purchased on their web site and they give you a download. They have a demp on their website that will do text-to-speech and give you a .wav file to download and listen to. Download, unpack it, run their install.sh, answer a couple of questions, read the man page and you're done. With Festival I had to figure out exactly which tarballs to download (there was a total of 18 tarballs to download if you count all the Festival voices plus the MBROLA voices), then I had to figure out how to install Festival, then MBROLA, I never have figured out how to actually INSTALL festival, I just run it out of the source directory. It's very picky about paths and such. I'm not a big fan of commercial software. For TTS most of the software either is Windows only or costs several thousand dollars (and sometimes both). If it's a choice between spending two thousand for something like Rhetorical TTS or using Festival, I'll pick Festival. If it's a choice between spending thirty dollars for a TTS system or using Festival, I'll happily spend the $30. Thats a very easy ROI since one hour of a technical resource to setup Festival is easily double the 30 USD. Maybe the Cepestral folks have figured out that making a little money from alot of people will be much better than alot from only a few. I'll buy Cepestral and skip the pizza on Friday night.

Basically, I'm after the most powerful interface possible to Asterisk, but trying to make it as friendly as possible to code things against. As far as our organization is concerned, that pretty much means Java objects. So you bought that line of Marketecture didn't you. I think there are several large open source projects that prove that C is maintainable. Maintainability is really a function of organization. If you can't be organized, you will not produce very maintainable C code. I'll point out that I am not a C programmer, but making patches to asterisk isn't that difficult. I have also made patches to the kernel without too much hair pulling. -- Steven Critchfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] Steve, You are right... Lots of proof that C is maintainable. I don't profess to be a C, VB or JAVA expert but have programmed for longer than I care to admit. What matters most is good solid and tight code regardless of the language. It all comes down to the number of CPU cycles needed to perform a given function. When doing real time processing, a few cycles here and a few there can add up to make a real difference. Object Oriented is nice for ease of writing/maintaining code but all of those objects have blocks of code behind them. A slight inefficiency there can really impact performance. Sure we have faster processors and lower cost memory every 6 months but thats no excuse for not writing the most efficient code possible. Asterisk does rather well on my Pentium 100/32 MB RAM. Wish I still had the Pentium 75 to try it on. It must really boogy on the bigger boxes. I contend that the most powerful interface is one that meets the requirements of the customer (1st requirement), is written to be the most efficient (2nd requirement) and maintainable (3rd requirement) as possible. The language to be used is the selection of the person doing the development. I'm not a fan of any Microsoft product but they do have a place in the world (for now). Kudos to Dan for his IAX phone.

(the IP10) I had one minor issue with the IP10 because of an older firmware version, a simple upgrade resolved it (by the way, in my case it was interpreting digits twice in some cases, i.e. dialling 326 would make asterisk think I was calling 33226) Best regards, Florian FLorian, What version of the IP10 firmware are you using??

Also makes it possible to run the program from a diskette/CD so as to be really portable between systems. However, the installer will be necessary for the acceptance by the non-geeks.

Maybe if you don't make samples you won't get any overwrite of the conf files.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk behind NAT to SIP provider
... At this moment, Asterisk behind a NAT can't connect to an outside SIP provider. If you put asterisk outside your NAT, your inside clients can connect to Asterisk and Asterisk will be able to connect to your providers. I suspected this would be the case. The problem is that I have no control over the NAT. I guess I'll just have to work on my provider a bit more to support IAX. Jonathan, I have the same problem and have solved it by using iaxtel.com. Asterisk talks to IAXtel quite well on inbound and outbound from behind my NAT router. While I don't have the dialplan inside Asterisk completed yet it does do the following: - outbound calls from any internal extension to any service reachable over iaxtel.com. I've tested the following: - USA toll-free numbers (until they stopped working this week.. seems to be an IAXTel problem) - other IAXtel numbers - FWD numbers (1 700 99 x) - inbound calls from FWD to my IAXTEL number ring into the Asterisk box. Currently I play a message then forward them to an internal extension as proof of concept. If you would like the parts of extensions.conf and iax.conf that seem to make it work let me know. I pulled bits and pieces from various places, including a number of the postings on this list over the last 2 days. All of this is rather impressive for me but my wife really wonders if I've lost my sanity... Hunker down everyone.. here comes the solar flare.

In fact I can hear only the first half second of what I am supposed to hear followed by permanent silence. Note that this * box has no telephony hardware at all.

I think there should be 2 for each class you have in the conf file. (at least thats what it seems like on my system. I also copied the mpg123 executable to /usr/bin instead of a link.

That switch in the phone is 10Mbit so the computer ends up on 10Mbit too. Perhaps the best way to avoid this is to join all the phones together since they are all 10Mbit anyway, so you will then just need one extra ethernet socket in the room for all the telephones. Michael Michael, How would you be able to connect all phones in a room to one socket? The Ethernet specificiation has a limit to the number of hubs/switches that can be inline. (or at least it used to). The only way I can see to connect all phones to one socket would be to daisy chain them. This would not be a good solution since: - all phones would use the same 10mbps segment, chances for collisions would be high - rules of Ethernet would be violated so even if it did work it may stop at any point with some other normally minor change.

The s extension is used when there is no known called number. In other words, if you are dialing 2000, the dialplan will always prefer the priority list for 2000 instead of going to 's', so that is why your current system doesn't work. John, Thanks for the details. Actually what I want to do is to play an announcement and then pass the person along to the extension that they dialed.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] I give up!!
Asterisk... Linux... You get what you pay for. And it's free :P Thats true but free (cost) doesn't have to mean cheap (quality). Maybe what we need is to collect business requirements and build a configuration for a typical system. (hardware spec. and actual config files) What Dave has listed is a good start. Then folks will have a starting point. If cost is the driving factor then obviously there has to be a compromise in functionality. Knowing what a specific functionality costs to implement would help people quoting installations. (example the transfer situation that GS phones don't handle but seem to work with one of the more expensive phones and the rest as GS). While I don't have the hardware or even Asterisk knowledge (yet) to do this, I'll be glad to document results in a set of webpages (or maybe we should use one of the already existing sites).

Since my testing ususally happens after my wife goes to bed it would help NOT to have the audible ring but only the visual indication!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Grandstream ringer
Michael, That would work for me too. If the volume can be reduced (maybe to zero or almost zero) then my request for the ability to disable it is not needed. Since the volume of the speaker and handset can be controlled maybe the GS folks can include a patch in the next release of the firmware to also handle the ringer. They monitor this list so maybe will jump in with some feedback to us. Robert Better still I would like volume control over the ringer as the default tends to be rather loud and annoying to other people in the same room.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Digium should develop and sell just Dummy card. For timing...
The only thing that is wrong is that there seems to be some expectation of Digium that they have to tell things... The source code is available. If someone isn't happy with the Digium methods then they should find a solution and post it to the list and/or one of the several Asterisk Wiki's that are around. Digium has no obligation in this regard. OSS doesn't mean free, OSS doesn't mean no secrets. It means Open Source Software. Alot of folks (me included)sometimes incorrectly equate the term OSS to mean FREE. Digium has already given for free much more than the typical telephony hardware manufacturer. I think its pretty clear that they like using common timing source across all platforms. I am looking forward to the postings of alternative timing solutions. Robert Also as I'd written. It seems we're arguing the same side of the argument. :-) My compliant was not that the timing was needed, but that Digium seems so damned secretive about it. I mean this is OSS -- just tell us that having a common timing source across all platforms makes things really easy, you don't have to screw with looking at writing an alternative driver for RTC or USB or XYZ and hey, we happen to make some money selling these boards too. If you are running a SIP-only * box then here are some alternative timing drivers, point them at some URLs and oh by the way, we didn't write 'em, we don't support 'em, they seem to work fine with others though. What's wrong with that?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Digium should develop and sell just Dummy card. For timing...
Andrew, I am running it rather well on a original Pentium 100 Mhz, 32 MB RAM, no USB adapter. I agree with you this would not be an ideal setup for a business but in a home it will work rather well. I think it'll handle 2 CO analog lines fine. Yes, my wife thinks its overkill. Probably is, but guess what, if I want to change it I can. If I want to try and integrate another type of card, I can. If I want to connect and control my ham station, I can. AND best of all, if I want to develop and use another timing source, I can. and so can you. Regards, Robert I don't think you'll be running Asterisk on anything older than a P2 to be honest, and even then the utility is severely hampered due to everything being done in software on *. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Digium should develop and sell just Dummy card. For timing...
Chris, Good point. As I understand it, the Asterisk software requirement was to be a PBX between normal telephone lines and VoIP. Maybe even it was just to replace the expensive PBXs. As such seems to me that it clearly met and exceeded its design requirements since it utilizes the hardware boards that were in the original design requirement. Don't think anyone can dispute that. Its created by Digium for Digium hardware. Everything lese is gravy. 73, Robert Any discusion about PCI cards, RTC timmers and the like is in a complete vacuum unless you know what exactly it is that the software is required to do. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] newbie question: Meetme
Yes, I am a newbie too. I am having a problem with meetme. From what I have seen it will work without a Digium card but with audio problems. My goal is just to see how it works not the quality of the audio. When I dial into the conference room the following message is played: That is not a valid conference number. On the console I get: unable to open pseudo channel. As indicated in previous posts I do not have any Digium cards in the system. When making the zaptel part of the system I did uncomment ztdummy.o in the MODULES= line. Extensions.conf contains: exten =2663,1,Meetme,9876 meetme.conf is: [rooms] conf = 9876 If meetme doesn't work at all without a real card that is ok. It can wait. If it'll work at least somewhat with ztdummy then obviously I've missed something. Any ideas?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] My Grandstream works, but my X-Lite doesn't:no sound after 5sec
Do you have a 100 or 101? You have indicated different models in your postings. Were you able to get Call Transfer and Call Waiting working with your Asterisk system and other phones? Which version of the Grandstream firmware do you use? There most recent on their website this weekend was at least 2 version numbers higher than what came on my phone in August. Think that they are making improvements rather frequently. Robert On Wed, 15 Oct 2003, Jon Pounder wrote: The Grandstream 101 I'm using is a piece of junk but I don't have the same problem with it. What don't you like about the grandstream ? (I am not looking to flame you, but was considering buying and if there are problems would rather find out beforehand) Nothing works. Call transfer and call waiting, in particular. (Well, almost nothing; vm notification does work) There is no place to plug in a headset, and since I do a fair amount of tech support and longish conference calls, that's a big deal for me. However, keep in mind that I have an old, no-longer-manufacturered model (the Budgetone 100).

[Asterisk-Users] Results SUSE 8.2 + server size
Hello All, Thanks to those that responded to my problem of compiling on SUSE 8.2. I was not able to get the compile done so decided to put RedHat 9 on this system. After getting a RedHat supported NIC and RedHat installed, Asterisk compiled cleanly, one SIP phone is connected and voice mail works. No other tests have been run yet. A couple of days ago, Michael Farnworth asked about the smallest system that was running Asterisk. This one is a Pentium 100, 32 MB RAM, 8 GB disk. I don't expect it to handle much load but for a test platform it seems ok to use while trying to find a low cost P4 system.
