[asterisk-users] ztmonitor output while idle

2007-01-09 Thread Ben Dinnerville

Hi All,

I am trying to tune out some echo on a analogue line and have run 
ztmonitor to get some info. When i run it, i get a RX reading when the 
line is idle - is this normal? eg:


[EMAIL PROTECTED] zaptel-1.2.10]# ./ztmonitor 1 -vv

Visual Audio Levels.

 Use zapata.conf file to adjust the gains if needed.

( # = Audio Level  * = Max Audio Hit )
(RX) 
(TX)


Rx:   132 (  132) Tx: 0 (0)

This happens on all 4 lines with varying rx levels

Cheers,

Ben

When the line is on-hook, its sample values are basically meaningless, I
gather.

 concerned about TX?  What's a good indicator of an optimal txgain?

Its main added value is a clear separation between the transmit and
recieve channel: you can actually see the echo. But it's basically a
rather low-level tool and you should use the raw information it provides
you wisely. It's no silver bullet.

[asterisk-users] ztmonitor in numeric mode

2006-07-07 Thread Robert Moskowitz
I have been having no success with my zap interface, and am trying to 
use ztmonitor to fix it.


I am running Trixbox 1.1 and so far have one x100p card (shows up as 
'Wildcard).


I tried many manual attempts at setting rx and tx gain with no results.  
Then I read:


http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+zapata+gain+adjustment

and

http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2004-November/064312.html

and

http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0002783

But ztmonitor 1 -vv does not produce any numeric information.  Adding -f 
file results in a file of zero length, perhaps since the only way I have 
found to quit ztmonitor is cntl-C.


Thanks for any help.  If I get this working, I have a second card to put 
in for txgain.

You can use either -f or -v/-vv . Not both.

You need a terminal which is wider than 80 chars. Are you running from
the linux console or from a remote terminal?

If you only have 80 chars, -vv will only cause an annoying blink

Err, stupid me. Seems like the phone is hungup, but when I start ztmonitor, the line is picked up. I guess the line in India is pretty loud b/c the RX bounces off the charts, changed it to (-4) and all my problems are solved.

[Asterisk-Users] 'ztmonitor' stopped working after using 'fxotune'

Hi,

I cannot get 'ztmonitor' to run anymore after I ran 'fxotune'. I get the 
following error:

I am using Asterisk 1.2 running on Fedora 4. I have also tried

Hi,

Thanks that worked I was trying to get more details... apparently you
are only allowed 2 v's so both of these work.
./ztmonitor 1 -v

./ztmonitor 1 -vv

with the later giving more detail..

Thanks Again.

[Asterisk-Users] ztmonitor usage

2005-11-03 Thread Gary Eck
I am trying to get ztmonitor to record a channel for me.

I issue the ./ztmonitor 1 -v -f channel1.rawcommand,
And the channel1.raw file is created, but when I exit the program
(control-c), the size of the *.raw file is 0 bytes.

The program does update the screen with the VU Meter interface,
though.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] Ztmonitor values when zap channel is onhook

2005-08-26 Thread VaibhaV Sharma
Hello,
In my quest to figure out the source of the random echo on our shiny new
asterisk install, I have been using ztmonitor on the TDM400p channels
for the good part of today.

I have 2 TDM400p cards with 8 FXO modules and 6 pots lines connected to
them (last 2 channels are unused but configured in zaptel). Even when
the lines are onhook, the Tx values settle down to 0 but the Rx values
still jump up and down. For some lines the values vary around 440, for
others around 250 and for one of the unused FXO ports, its around 97 all
the time.

With txgain/rxgain set to 0.0, call volumes were considerably low.
Hence, I have txgain set to 1.0 and rxgain set to 6.0.

I was wondering if the ztmonitor Rx: values were normal for what they
show, or are they too supposed to settle down to 0. If this is not
normal, does this indicate any problems with the pots lines?

why not txgain=-6 to start out with?

With txgain set to 0.0, people on the other end complained about low
volume from our side hence I started out with a positive value.

Are the ztmonitor Rx: values of around 90 - 400 normal even when the zap
channel is Onhook or do I have some problem on the pots lines that I
should fix?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Ztmonitor values when zap channel is onhook

2005-08-26 Thread Mojo with Horan Company, LLC
We just replaced our old system at work with Asterisk.  We use a TDM 
card with 3 FXO ports.  In tuning my gains, I discovered that the 
on-hook rx levels do in fact waver a little bit. Line 1 is right around 
145, Line 2 is around 235, Line 3 is around 380, and Line 4, which 
doesn't go to a POTS line but instead to a PhoneLabs Cell Socket thingy, 
is around 100.  These numbers sometimes spike upwards by 30% or so, but 
not too often.


So after feeling quite happy about the rx and txgain levels set at my 
workplace, I did the same steps at home, but in the process noted that 
my on-hook levels are closer to 3500.  They waver a bit, but not more 
than 30% it seems. This is on a X100P, which I've always suspected was 
sold to me mis-labeled (I think it's a clone instead of a real X100P).  
Also, I have a DAML (sometimes also called a concentrator?) installed 
outside my house, to split the copper lines coming to my house with 
neighbors. ( I live in a trailer court and personal copper pairs are at 
a premium I guess.  Had to switch away from 56k so long ago 'cause it 
wasn't 56k anymore...) but anyway the point is that the DAML might be 
causing the rx noise if it isn't my X10(0|1)P.


By way of summary, I feel based on my own experience that the numbers 
you are seeing while on-hook must be perfectly acceptable and well 
within normal, usable limits.  I think I'll order a real X100P or maybe 
a tdm with one FXO port to replace my junk and post back to the list 
with my results.

[Asterisk-Users] ZTmonitor

2005-07-22 Thread Chris Gamble

If the RX has a constant 2 # marks when no one is on the phone, thats a bad 
phone line, right?

(RX) (TX)
 ##*   
Rx:   493 (  496) Tx: 0 (0)

[Asterisk-Users] ztmonitor

2005-02-14 Thread Ronald Hartmann
Good day list,

I am feeling extra stupid this Monday morning and am hoping
someone can come to the rescue.

I am trying to use the ztmonitor utility on my wildfire 4 FXO
card.  and have read the following from the wiki.

*Wiki start

If you set this to yes, use ztmonitor to adjust the rxgain and txgain.
Ztmonitor isn't installed by default; but it is included with the Zaptel
source code, so look in /usr/src/zaptel. Use ztmonitor like this: 

 ./ztmonitor 1 -v 
 Rx ##Tx 

Place a call, let the remote party talk, then adjust them until they
sound better. 

For example, try this setting in zapata.conf: 

 rxgain=10.5 
 txgain=-4.5 

Note: If you set the txgain value too low, your outbound calls may not
go thorugh since the DTMF tones are too quiet to be picked up.

***Wiki End**

if I use 
txgain=0;
rxgain=-;
this I get the following:

Visual Audio Levels.

 Use zapata.conf file to adjust the gains if needed.

( # = Audio Level  * = Max Audio Hit )
(RX)
(TX)
 ##*#*


Then I 

Edit /etc/asterisk/Zapata.conf
if I use 
txgain=0;
rxgain=7.5;
this I get the following:

Visual Audio Levels.

 Use zapata.conf file to adjust the gains if needed.

( # = Audio Level  * = Max Audio Hit )
(RX)
(TX)
 ##*#*

I get basically the same thing

Can anyone tell me if I am missing something

Oh yeah , I tell asterisk to restart after editing the Zapata.conf file.

Thanks

ron

[Asterisk-Users] ztmonitor and the x101p

2004-02-23 Thread Jeff Gustafson
I have a x101p and I can't seem to get ztmonitor to work on it.  I've
tried it on 2 different machines.  One with a SBLive! card and the other
with a AMD-768 [Opus] Audio (rev 03) chip.  Neither machine give me a
graph in ztmonitor 1 -v mode.  If I run ztmonitor without the -v I
get:

Can't turn stereo off :(
Sound card won't let me know the input buffering...

Is this the problem?
