Re: [asterisk-users] Quick Question - Jabra Headset and Aastra 53i - Where is the speaker/headset enable setting on Aastra UI?
Thanks. That is one thing I really HATE about AASTRA - them confusing the user with providing different setting level on the WEB UI and the PHONE UI - very stupid. But thank you and it works just fine. -Bruce On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 4:09 AM, Gareth Blades wrote: > bruce bruce wrote: > > Hi Everyone, > > > > I can connect the Jabra GN2124 + GN2100 (smart cord) to the Aastra 53i > > receiver port and I get a tone.

[asterisk-users] quick question on conf bridge
I have a customer that is using a quad core xeon server with 4 GIG ram and Te210P card. Currently this machine is being used for calling out to their own people as well other programs being run. anyway they wish to start using it for a 30 person conference bridge. I presume this is no issue??? I am running centos 64 and asterisk 1.4.30 I was thinking they might need to expand the card to a quad card so calling out can still take place as the 30 person conf bridge is happening. Again I presume with this machine that even using all the quad T1's isnt an issue. Is that the case? I have not done anything with conferencing on asterisk and didnt know if using the bridge is really CPU intensive or not.

Most of our servers stay up until there is some need (such as power reconfiguration) to power them down. The time between restarts is usually about a year.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Quick question regarding daily restart of asterisk
I can tell you from first hand experience that unless you've got +1000 extensions completely configured, it's not a problem in the slightest. After that, you'll start getting "to many files open" messages (on a vanilla system install) and the server will go temporarily unresponsive (which can be semi-remedied by modifying your OS's max open files - but even then * had problems).

The only reason to ever restart any server is if there are problems that have not yet been fixed (such as memory not being released, etc). Obviously some exceptions for MS stuff. Some older Admin's will suggest that systems should be rebooted weekly, etc. That's only needed "if" there is a problem. The effort should be focused on fixing the root-cause, not rebooting. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [Asterisk-Users] Quick question regarding daily restart of asterisk
I wouldn't recommend a reload. More than once I've issued a "reload" to Asterisk and it just sat there, never actually reloaded. Went into limbo, wouldn't accept any future commands either. Had to kill -9 the process and load it again. Plus certain changes you make, like certain changes to the iax.conf file, don't get loaded when you do a reload. I spent an hour trying to fix a problem, modify the iax, reload asterisk, problem still there. Finally stopped asterisk, started it clean, problem was gone, same exact config. As far as "stop now" and starting it again. I don't truly see the need. Every once in a while I've had to do it to fix a quality issue or memory problem or something odd. Maybe instead of once a day, once a week. Would probably be good. I may implement this myself. I'd recommend the "asterisk -rx "stop now" && /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk" method to accomplish your goal. Maybe even a "stop now" && sleep 1 && killall -9 asterisk && sleep 1 && /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk" Would take a little longer, but would ensure Asterisk is dead before reloading it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt G Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 5:12 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Quick question regarding daily restart of asterisk Hi All, I have a quick question regarding restarting (and/or stopping/restarting) asterisk daily -- Should it be done?

Is there any other reason why one would want to stop and restart asterisk daily? (or at any other scheduled time?) On a related note, is asterisk -rx "restart now" the equivalent of asterisk -rx "stop now" && /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk (or whatever command is used to restart it)?. I have a job cronned on a slackware system to restart it daily using -rx "restart now" and it creates a new PID, and Process Time, but when I run the same thing on Redhat 9 I get an error saying that it exited on sig 13. I'm sure this is just a redhat specific thing as this isn't the only problem I'm running into, but it would be nice to find some answers.

[Asterisk-Users] Quick question regarding daily restart of asterisk
Hi All, I have a quick question regarding restarting (and/or stopping/restarting) asterisk daily -- Should it be done? I've seen conflicting answers, some people have told me that the only reason for asterisk to be stopped/started daily was for mpg123 causing many childs, which has since been fixed using 'no buffer' or 'nb' appended to the line in musiconhold.conf. Others have told me there is no reason whatsoever to restart/stop it, yet there's instructions on how to do it on the wiki, are these just outdated? Is there any other reason why one would want to stop and restart asterisk daily? (or at any other scheduled time?) On a related note, is asterisk -rx "restart now" the equivalent of asterisk -rx "stop now" && /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk (or whatever command is used to restart it)?.

[Asterisk-Users] Quick question on source cvs files
Hello, I've setup some test servers, some with digium cards, FXO/FXS but none with PRI. 1. is it necessary to download and compile libpri source or will asterisk function properly with just zaptel, zapata and asterisk source? 2. If I install a system just for Voip, with no digium cards, can I get away with just compiling zaptel (ztdummy) and asterisk source? Thanks in advance.

The only problem I have is an annoying > echo that I haven't yet gotten rid of. There is no problem with RH9 and Zaptel drivers at this time. There might have been months ago when v9 first appeared on the scene, but all is well now. Ours have been running fine and stable for months with Zaptel. :) FWIW, each RH version from 7.0 to current has improved the video detection and support drivers (and thus X11 stuff) as have other linux distros. If the Netfinity 4000R can support 800x600 or better resolution, there is a high probability the v9 X11 stuff will work; might take some playing around substituting drivers though. We even have one new $350 Emachine with a Celeron (very cheap) and RH9 working just fine with asterisk, as well as a higher-end Dell 1-ghz laptop. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
