[Asterisk-Users] iconnect quality?
Does anyone here use iconnect regularly with Asterisk? If so, what do you think of its reliability and quality? I used up my 10 free minutes just getting it to work. By the end it was working, but I found that (1) many calls did not connect, due to a variety of errors reported by them (service unavailable and such) and (2) when I did connect, I could be heard but I could not hear the person I was talking to. I would appreciate hearing any experiences. Thanks! ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] iconnect quality?
Iconnect uses codecs g723 and g711 that can be configured for each account (you can change them by the prefix) With their dialer and g723 I can here just fine (I have a 64k broadband connection). With their dialer and g711 the quality suffers greatly. With * and GSM I cannot here anything (and don´t know if they can here me). The call gets logged on iconnect´s CDR. Upon looking at the SIP debug everything appears just fine, but again, I cannot hear anything. With * and ulaw or mlaw I can hear the first 5 secs and nothing else. I have tried FWD (not going through *) which uses g711 and I have had nor problem whatsoever. - Original Message - From: "Jim Archer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 8:51 AM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] iconnect quality? > Does anyone here use iconnect regularly with Asterisk?

It may be a tad over dial up, but please don't consider it broadband. This would explain your quality problem, you fill the link in the first set of samples, and the rest is queued up and therefore does not arrive like a stream should. Each fram probably adds a millisecond or more to the stream and soon enough you are so starved for audio data that it should give up. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] iconnect quality?
Wow, this looks like a way to configure Asterisk to solve this not hearing the called person problem, but I have to confess, I can't figure out how to actually do what you suggest. I assume I need some entries in sip.conf? Sorry to ask for more detail like this, but I am now and don't know how to configure sip.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] iconnect quality?
Yes, 64K is not much of a broadband and believe it or not, I am paying US$60 for it (I believe this is the case in many 3rd world countries). Is there a codec translator between GSM and g723?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] iconnect quality?
Hi Greg and thanks very much... A few questions... First, regarding the prefix, it seemed that this acts as a toggle, switching from the one codec to the other. But how do I set which me system uses by default? Or does iconnect always use the high bandwidth one by default (such that the always switches to the low bandwidth one)? Next, I am still struggling to understand the SIP options and what goes where. Could you please tell me where the format command goes? Is this an option on the channel? I thing the allow goes in sip.conf. Finally, does this have any impact on the problem where the person called can not be heard? Thanks!!!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] iconnect quality?
I haven't play around enough to know whether or not the prefix is a toggle. I will do some experimenting and let you know. Right now I am prefixing all my calls with . My experience is that when the carrier's format is G723.1, you can't hear the incoming voice. When it is in G711 you can. I have made several calls using G711 and they are acceptable quality. Note that if you disallow=gsm in the sip.conf file you will get the 488 media errors you reported earlier. Below are my config files for sip and the linejack cards: ; ; SIP Configuration for Asterisk ; [general] port = 5060 ; Port to bind to bindaddr = 0.0.0.0 ; Address to bind to context=iconnect; Default for incoming calls allow=gsm allow=ulaw allow=alaw ;register=1813342:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ;register=1202454:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [iconnecthere] type=friend username= secret=XXX host=sipauth.deltathree.com ; ; Linux Telephony Interface ; ; Configuration file ; [interfaces] mode=dialtone format=ulaw echocancel=medium silencesupression=no context=local context=default txgain=100% rxgain=100% device => /dev/phone0 On Tue, 2003-03-11 at 14:28, Jim Archer wrote: > Hi Greg and thanks very much... > > A few questions... > > First, regarding the prefix, it seemed that this acts as a toggle, > switching from the one codec to the other.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] iconnect quality?
Ok! When I use the prefix and I allow gsm it does work! And the quality is fine. There are two problems we're having now. 1 - From watching the udp fly by, it seems that iconnect does not know when we hang up. For example, if I call a voice mail and it starts giving me its speal and I hang up, iconnect stays connected until the VM hangs up at its end. Next, if we try to call out via iconnect from a sip client extension (like a windows soft phone) all we hear is horrible noise. Has anyone else had these issues?

I found similar problems. With my phonejack I can make a call with ulaw with decent quality (I have a 64k line).

Actually I think it was an issue with incrementing the sequence number on the bye andshould be fixed now. RTCP is irrelevant in SIP signalling.

IM not sure this is the only cause of the "480 temporarily unavailable" message from Iconnect. I noticed that the dialer from Iconnect put a 20 wait time between calls.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] iconnect quality?
Hi Lubo, I appreciate your email to help with this issue, but I don't understand your message. I assume your comment about format=slinear is to use format=slinear in phone.conf instead of format=ulaw. If so, how does this get you g723 to iconnect? Using format=g723.1 doesn't seem to work.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] iconnect quality?
Hi Gregg, I'm using iconnect with LineJACK/PhoneCARD and G723.1 codec from about 1 mount without any problems. The quality is perfect and everything is OK (only some little problems sometime). But today morning, with the NEW CVS version update of asterisk I found that SIP(G723/ulaw) and iconnect aren't working anymore ??? When I try to connect trough iconnect I receive this error message: -- Got SIP response 488 "Not Acceptable Media" back from 213.137.73.178 you can try asterisk from yesterday: cvs -z9 co -D "Mar 11 2003" asterisk and test it: everything will be OK :) Here is my working configuration: sip.conf [general] port = 5060 ;bindaddr = 0.0.0.0 context = incomming disallow=all allow=g723.1 ;allow=ulaw tos=lowdelay tos=184 [iconnect] type=friend username=12345678 password=1234 host=213.137.73.178 callerid=1234567890 phone.conf format=slinear echocancel=low silencesupression=no extension.conf exten => _00.,1,Dial(Sip/${EXTEN:[EMAIL PROTECTED],,C) Lubo P.S. for successfully using G723 codec and phonejack you will need g723.1 and g723.1b placed in your codecs directory. You can got it like this: cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/cvsroot co g723.1 cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/cvsroot co g723.1b and uncomment this line in Makefile in codecs directory MODG723=codec_g723_1.so codec_g723_1b.so I hope that the todays problem with asterisk and SIP/G723 will be fixed very soon.

I assume your comment about format=slinear is to use format=slinear in phone.conf instead of format=ulaw. If so, how does this get you g723 to iconnect? Using format=g723.1 doesn't seem to work.

With my phonejack I can make a call with ulaw with decent quality (I have a 64k line). However, with Messenger I hear a brief horrible noise and that?s it. - Original Message - From: "Jim Archer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 8:17 PM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] iconnect quality? Ok! When I use the prefix and I allow gsm it does work! And the quality is fine. There are two problems we're having now. 1 - From watching the udp fly by, it seems that iconnect does not know when we hang up. For example, if I call a voice mail and it starts giving me its speal and I hang up, iconnect stays connected until the VM hangs up at its end. Next, if we try to call out via iconnect from a sip client extension (like a windows soft phone) all we hear is horrible noise. Has anyone else had these issues?

I will do some experimenting and let you know. Right now I am prefixing all my calls with . My experience is that when the carrier's format is G723.1, you can't hear the incoming voice. When it is in G711 you can. I have made several calls using G711 and they are acceptable quality. Note that if you disallow=gsm in the sip.conf file you will get the 488 media errors you reported earlier.

A few questions... First, regarding the prefix, it seemed that this acts as a toggle, switching from the one codec to the other. But how do I set which me system uses by default? Or does iconnect always use the high bandwidth one by default (such that the always switches to the low bandwidth one)? Next, I am still struggling to understand the SIP options and what goes where. Could you please tell me where the format command goes? Is this an option on the channel? I thing the allow goes in sip.conf. Finally, does this have any impact on the problem where the person called can not be heard? Thanks!!! Jim --On Tuesday, March 11, 2003 1:35 PM -0500 Gregg Lebovitz <[EMAIL P
Re: [Asterisk-Users] iconnect quality?
Please check latest CVS. This issue has been fixed and was related to the dynamic payload merger.
