[Asterisk-Users] asterisk at home, broadvoice and iptables

2006-04-23 Thread lenny
I can't seem to register properly with broadvoice servers. Looking at
tcpdump and log files I see registrations attemtps and traffic to
broadvoice, but no traffic or error messages of any kind from broadvoice.
Do my rules look ok ?

[Asterisk-Users] ASterisk and home lines.. DGM-TDM01B or x100 ?

I got asterisk at home and not ma Bell, so i intend to use the internal
house wiring to use and connect a patch cable to my asterisk to the
house.

this way i can pick up any extension in hous and will pop on zap device..

now

i got a x101p

can that do it ? or that needs an actualy bell signal ?

the FXO is to connect to PSTN..

You need an FXS device (like a sipura 1000, 2000, or even 3000), or an
iaxy. etc.

I don´t know if it is an * or an AAH issue - I can´t get the
Snom-Phone-hints working under AAH 1.5 running * 1.0.9. I tried with the
Snom 360 softphone and it just doesn´t work.

Is there any known issue?

Is there a AAH mailing list available?

Thank you in advance.

It worked fine for me.  I renamed all my /usr/src directories to
old_asterisk old_zaptel etc. so that when I downloaded the 1.2beta1 source
from CVS it would create and install the directories from scratch again.

So far AAH v1.5 is working perfectly with Asterisk v1.2beta1.

The problem of your approach is that if you are out of credit with the 
first provider, your call will be dropped, not trying the next one, 
right? After all, I believe that ChanIsAvail 
(http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+ChanIsAvail) will only check 
if you can connect to that provider (ip route), not for available funding...

I'm using now something like this:
exten = _91NXXNXX,1,Dial(IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/${EXTEN:1},45)
exten = _91NXXNXX,2,PlayBack(beep)
exten = _91NXXNXX,3,Dial(IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/${EXTEN:1},45)
exten = _91NXXNXX,4,PlayBack(beep)
exten = _91NXXNXX,5,Dial(IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/${EXTEN:1},45)
exten = _91NXXNXX,6,PlayBack(beep)

exten = _91NXXNXX,8,Playtones(congestion)
exten = _91NXXNXX,9,Wait(3)
exten = _91NXXNXX,10,Hangup
I know after every beep  that I changed the provider (out of credit? 
dialing error? no connection?), and if the call is ringing after 45 
seconds and I hear a beep, I will hangup. Not the best, but I believe is 
the best failover solution (for a small company/home office at least).

Interesting. I've never had a problem with amount on account, but I've
had lots of problems with providers being down or not within reasonable

 Not sure how well FXSs are working, but considering the cost/port, a
 low-cost IP phone or a Sipura with analog phone are good functional
 alternatives.  If you want ADSI, you'll need some sort of Zapata tho.

I'm afraid I have no idea what ADSI is or why I would want it. Ive
never seen so many acronyms. I was just reading an intro, beginners
document for some aspect of voip, and it had about 5 acronyms I wasn't
familiar with in the first couple paragraphs, and no explanations.
Thats fine, but it does delay  my osmosis...
Yes I've seen a few comments about monthly reboots being necessary
with the TDM400P card... that's a bit disconcerting. Maybe a X100P and
voip providers will suffice. Thanks.

 2. What is a good, inexpensive FXS solution?
 I simply got a budgeton sip phone. It's simple, it has nice fat buttons
 and it sounds fine.

What I've encountered in discussions with home-office folks is they
have Vonage on the brain, and look at keeping all their existing
phones as a plus. Just hook up a box and you're done. When I
understand more of the advantages of the IP phones and the cost trade
offs, and what all is possible in when using Asterisk I'll be able to
discuss the subject more intelligently. :)
 
 3. Would a TDM400P solution be a better way to go, cost considered?
 Even cheaper / easier, buy some PSTN termination calling credit and an
 incoming DID from a IAX VoIP carrier.

Guess I need to research DID providers a bit more, as I would want a
local number, or to keep my existing number...But I'm in a medium
sized city, and won't be surprised if local numbers aren't available.

I am using Voicepulse for inbound calling, at $7.99/month. They are in many 
rate centers and are worth checking out. Go to 
http://connect.voicepulse.com, not www.voicepulse.com.

Voicepulse for outbound is a bit pricey. One alternative that I like is 
http://www.voipjet.com -- which requires that you predeposit via PayPal. 
They charge you back the PayPal fee, so figure that into your cost 
analysis. Voipjet costs $.013/minute for termination in the USA.

Both of these providers use IAX to connect! Service has been rock solid.

1. Does this make sense? 
2. What is a good, inexpensive FXS solution?
3. Would a TDM400P solution be a better way to go, cost considered?

My own home office experience may run counter some others on the list. 

To me it makes little sense to use a Vonage type service that's based
upon an ATA device, then bring it into an FXO. This make work for
others but it simply seems inappropriate. Moreover it doesn't make
economic sense since the $30/mo flat rate service is the equivalent of
2000 minutes from an IAX based ITSP. I don't use that much time a month.

Compound this with the fact that small FXO adapters tend to suck. I've
tried X100p clones and the Sipura SPA-3000. Neither were acceptable. I
recently installed a TDM11. After only a few days I'm still happy with
it. The relative volume of the call is ok with only +3 db gain in
zapata.conf, unlike the SPA-3000, and the line is not noisy, like the
X100 clone. The X100p clone was horribly unreliable in my Asus/ AMD
2500+ based server.

In over a year of reading this list and repeatedly polling for peoples
experience with PCI and standalone FXO adapters I've come to the
conclusion that there is no really good solution. If the TDM400p is
long term unacceptable, and ITSPs don't cut it fomr some reason, then
my next experiment will be to order up a BRI and try an ISDN based
interface.

I also have SPA-2000s for FXSs. I have been totally happy with these.
They connect to a Panasonic KX-TG4000B KSU with 4 cordless handsets 
extensions.

Lastly, on my desk I use a Polycom IP600 SIP phone. It's a great
device. Can't say enough good things about it! If I decide to put a SIP
phone on my wife's desk it'll surely be another of these wonders.

For termination I use no fewer than four providers;

(all are IAX based, in order of preference)

- www.sixtel.net
- www.voipjet.com
- www.nufone.net
- connect.voicepulse.com

The great thing about * is that I have one macro for outgoing calls
that cascades from one provider to another if the former is not
available for some reason. Sixtel is incrementally more expensive for
making calls than Voipjet, but they offer DIDs in my area where few
others do, especially over IAX. I was also able to get at * friendly
tech support via their 800 number,

I do not connect to any outside ITSP over SIP.

I keep only one POTS line from SBC. That's my main incomming line. If
one of the DID providers proves very reliable over the next month or
two I will likely switch my main incomming line to a IP based DID. Then
bye-bye SBC.

Finally, my DSL service was provided by Covad over SBC lines. The
initial service had a problem when the voice line on the corresponding
copper pair rang. The ring signal would interrupt the DSL feed and I
would lose IP connectivity for  a minute. SBC and Covad said it was a
problem with line filtering but I tried lots of filters with no
improvement. The solution was to change the service to a dedicated loop
DSL that does not piggyback the DSL over a voice line. The DSL has its
own copper pair. This has been about 20% faster and absolutely
reliable.

   Do you find it difficult to manage four LD providers?
   Can you show me part of your LD Macro and how it's used?

   I'm toying with two LD providers now, but don't have failover setup.
Just using each one for what they are best at (least cost).

Not really difficult, perhaps its a bit excessive. Although there have
been a few (very few) times when I've notcied a brief pause after
dialing and found that it had in fact dialed out on the last possible
option.

The macro is as follows:

[macro-multidial]
;
;try sixtel first
exten = s,1,ChanIsAvail(${IAXTRUNK5}) 
exten = s,2,Dial(${IAXTRUNK5}/${ARG1}) 
exten = s,3,Hangup 
;
;try voipjet next
exten = s,102,ChanIsAvail(${IAXTRUNK1}) 
exten = s,103,Dial(${IAXTRUNK1}/${ARG1}) 
exten = s,104,Hangup 
;
;try NuFone next
exten = s,203,ChanIsAvail(${IAXTRUNK2}) 
exten = s,204,Dial(${IAXTRUNK2}/${ARG1}) 
exten = s,205,Hangup
;
;try VPC-01 next
exten = s,304,ChanIsAvail(${IAXTRUNK3}) 
exten = s,305,Dial(${IAXTRUNK3}/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) 
exten = s,306,Hangup 
;
;try VPC-02 last
exten = s,405,ChanIsAvail(${IAXTRUNK4}) 
exten = s,406,Dial(${IAXTRUNK4}/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) 
exten = s,407,Hangup 
exten = s,408,Congestion 
;

I declare the params for IAXTRUNK1-4 and the login details as global
variables. 

My callout routine looks like the following;

[outbound-ip-local]
exten = _713XXX,1,Macro(multidial,1${EXTEN})
exten = _713XXX,2,Macro(fastbusy)
exten = _281XXX,1,Macro(multidial,1${EXTEN})
exten = _281XXX,2,Macro(fastbusy)
exten = _832XXX,1,Macro(multidial,1${EXTEN})
exten = _832XXX,2,Macro(fastbusy)

[outbound-ip-domestic]
exten = _1NXXNXX,1,Macro(multidial,${EXTEN})
exten = _1NXXNXX,2,Playback(invalid)
exten = _1NXXNXX,3,Hangup()

Might not be too elegant but it does work for me thus far.

Michael

What is a TDM11?  Do you use that instead of the X100p or the SPA-3000?

TDM refers to the TDM400 card. The TDM400 card is a PCI card that
accepts up to 4 modules of FXO or FXS daughterboard interfaces. In the
11 format, it is saying it has one FXS and one FXO interface. 

More documentation can be found on the Digium web site.

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk for home office

2004-11-30 Thread Lee
I apoligize in advance for this newbie question on what I perceive as
a mostly advanced level list... I did some searching, but would like
some of your expert opinions.

I'm building an asterisk server to be used in the home, both to learn,
and as proof of concept of applying this solution in a home. To keep
costs down, I'm considering one X100P ($25 ebay clone) card to connect
the existing phone line, and a single-port FXS of some sort to connect
all existing phones. I was leaning toward buying a TDM400P (TDM11B)
but would have trouble justifying the added cost to my colleagues who
may want one of these systems in their homes.

Note: I'll add softphones and later add an IP phone or two if budget
allows, and features seem worth the expenditure, but I don't yet have
a good grasp on the benefits of IP phones...

1. Does this make sense? 
2. What is a good, inexpensive FXS solution?
3. Would a TDM400P solution be a better way to go, cost considered?

I want cheap and reliable, if that's possible :)
Thanks

1. It makes so much sense, I have the same here at my home/office.  One
PSTN line on a genuine X100P; a dozen extensions on Sipuras; a handful
of lines from Vonage (don't ask), Broadvoice, sipgate, etc.
2. I'm using Sipura SPA-2000s -- $50/port.  Linksys PAP2-NA is also an
option if you can find them -- $30/port.
3. From what I've read on this list (go google a little), there seem to
be a good number of problems with the TDM400P as relates to FXO ports.
Not sure how well FXSs are working, but considering the cost/port, a
low-cost IP phone or a Sipura with analog phone are good functional
alternatives.  If you want ADSI, you'll need some sort of Zapata tho.

In my case, I found a 900MHz Duron to be powerful enough for the two or
three conversations that could happen here at one time.

I'm certainly no expert but I'll give it a shot anyway :-)
2. What is a good, inexpensive FXS solution?
 

I simply got a budgeton sip phone. It's simple, it has nice fat buttons 
and it sounds fine.

3. Would a TDM400P solution be a better way to go, cost considered?
 

Even cheaper / easier, buy some PSTN termination calling credit and an 
incoming DID from a IAX VoIP carrier.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
