Re: [asterisk-users] Bad Echo between SIP calls

2007-06-26 Thread Mojo with Horan Company, LLC
First of all, Alex, sorry for not seeing your reply.  Nearly two weeks 
ago now :(

Honestly, with canreinvite=yes, I'm not sure what is meant by the 
signalling still travels through asterisk... I would ASSUME that 
includes out-of-band dtmf as well.  Sorry!

  What are the end devices? That seems to have
been lost here. The real issue is the handsets as those are the devices
introducing the echo (the only analog players here). Most likely a
volume or gain issue on those handsets, what SIP devices are the echo
issues between? If both people hear echo, both devices are at fault, if
one person hears it, it is the other end at fault.
  

Thats true. Echo usually appear if your end devices uses additional
voice
amplifier. Try try to set -2 db on audio input if your gateways have
internal gain control.

for a given 2 internal extension there was no echo but suddenly turned
up. People dialing on my phone have echo but not on other at the same

Those issues should now be fixed.  We have been working very hard to 
make sure that we have gotten rid of them.  If you are still seeing any 
problems with Digium cards related to interrupts, sharing, conflicts, 
motherboards, etc, then for sure let us know so that we can fix them.  
To be perfectly frank, with the changes in the last 3-6 months that we 
have made in our drivers our cards should be running very well.

RE: [asterisk-users] Bad Echo between SIP calls

2007-06-11 Thread Darryl Dunkin
The echo cancellation card is for SIP-Zap calls only, no echo
cancellation is done in Asterisk for SIP only calls. SIP to SIP, media
is just passed through the server  untouched (using media flow through,
which is the option in sip.conf of canreinvite=no) if you are not
handling any translation, even when handling translation between SIP
calls there shouldn't be any echo cancellation done in Asterisk for SIP
only calls.
 
The place to look at would be the remote SIP devices which is typically
what is adding the echo, this is usually a gain issue of some sort
depending on which handsets you are using.

Sounds crazy right? even was I, more over support guy logged in unloaded
the zap modules to test them, still an echo.

Ya, I was clear saying that we have SIP--- SIP issue ie internal
extension echo problem.  It seems the echo with SIP--SIP has many
factors.  I am just curios to eliminate any possibility of Asterisk
failing to cancel the echo.

OK, one question here howz the call flow when a SIP---SIP call is
established ie.  is the connection between 2 phones when an Internal
call is made or does the SIP call goes via Asterisk once the SIP--SIP
call is establised.

 I am not sure whats the problem.  Also there's slight echo

 Totally lost Digium says we need to remove the echo module to

Are you sure that they understood that you were having this

one 
side is Zap and the other side is SIP.

Re: [asterisk-users] Bad Echo between SIP calls

2007-06-11 Thread Zeeshan Zakaria

Once upon a time I used to have a lot of SIP-SIP calls issues, which not
always but sometimes included echo problems. There were no zap devices on
the server. Googling and struggling to fix it, I found out that it was
because of timing issues and ztdummy was not working properly. It had to do
something with the kernel and USB modules and something needed to be fixed
in BIOS and zaptel settings somewhere (not in zapata or zaptel confs) so
that it can have a properly working timing source. I don't remember the
details now but I remember I managed to fix it by building a different
kernel version on that server after installaing some other version of
zaptel, disabling USB modules on the motherboard, fixing something in zaptel
Makefile, disabling unused modules in /etc/sysconfig/zaptel. I don't
remember what else I did. but echo and other problems disappeared after
whatever I did. It was about 2 years ago and I remember how frustrating it
was.

Anyways, I guess once you upgraded your hardware, something changed in
zaptel settings somewhere which is now effecting the SIP-SIP calls and
resulting in echo. Do you have the backup of old setup without this card,
which you can install and check what exactly the settings were before.

Also I recommend going with Sangoma. I hear a lot of bad stories about
digium cards imcompatibility with certain motherboards and conflicts with
USB modules on the motherboard, and conflicts with IRQs. Thats why When I
went for PRI, I used Sangoma.  I've used their A101c and A101d cards, and
there have never been any issues.

Hey thanx for sharing your troubleshooting.  Ya over days I kind of did some 
QA.  There are SIP--SIP echo's between random phones. We have 75 phones of 
Polycom 501. I think might be the network or combination of network  polycom 
creating this.
   
  Do you have the backup of old setup without this card, which you can 
install and check what exactly the settings were before. 
  This is an entie new setup by me, the old one was using 1.4 build  I am 
using 1.2 build both are different server.

RE: [asterisk-users] Bad Echo between SIP calls

2007-06-10 Thread Darryl Dunkin
Best way to do this is not touch the sip.cfg, ever. Leave it as included
in each release and include your overrides in a different file.
 
Then reference your files like this in your MAC.cfg file, your file will
override the sip.cfg defaults.
CONFIG_FILES=phone_user.cfg,server.cfg,sip.cfg
 
In server.cfg, if you wanted to change the server, for example:
?xml version=1.0 standalone=yes?
sip
   voIpProt
  local voIpProt.local.port=/
  server voIpProt.server.1.address=asterisk.yourdomain.com 
   /voIpProt
/sip

It doesn't matter if it's supported, they are all, however I have seen
some echo problems after firmware upgrades, the only way to fix it was
to either copy the differences or overwrite my old config files with the
new ones that came with the firmware and then modify as needed for my
setup.

The sip config  firmware are the supported one for the existing firmware.  If 
you have any stable working Polycom 501 SIP without echo between SIP--SIP  
wouldnt mind to share the sip.cfg, sip.ld  bootrom would be great, bcos I have 
not got concreate resolution for this issue.
   
  Hope I can resolve this mess.  Feels bad when one does best in aggregating 
things  some louzy device screws up... Oh my frustation is comming on mail :

  If you are getting echo on pure SIP to SIP calls, there's no point in

 By this measure most phones are nasty. The handset should be echo
 cancelled, to prevent leakage of the earpiece into the mike. It is
 getting less and less common to do this, now. Polycoms, Sipuras, Snoms,
 you name it, they do it badly. Many are not too annoying until someone
 turns the volume up. Call someone a little hard of hearing and you will
 hear echo.

Re: [asterisk-users] Bad Echo between SIP calls

2007-06-09 Thread C F

It doesn't matter if it's supported, they are all, however I have seen some
echo problems after firmware upgrades, the only way to fix it was to either
copy the differences or overwrite my old config files with the new ones that
came with the firmware and then modify as needed for my setup.

[asterisk-users] Bad Echo between SIP calls

2007-06-08 Thread Deepak Naidu
Hi,
  We have a PRI connection  when its was on test networks we had echo 
problems withoutside line.  

So I bought a TE212P card resolve the echo problem.  Which did to an extent. 
Its using asterisk 1.2.18  RHEL4-Update 4.


But now when we are live, there is a terrible echo between 2 SIP calls. If I 
call the same extension from outside the voice is clear.

I am not sure whats the problem.  Also there's slight echo when calling Digium 
support.

Totally lost Digium says we need to remove the echo module to resolve SIP echo 
problems. Then ? the heck we pay for...

Has anyone come through this issue.

  My impression is that the transcoding that takes place between two
purely software SIP calls never goes through the TE212P card.

  There are probably echo cancellation options you can enable that are
relevant to software channels.  I distantly recall there even being some
stuff youc an uncomment in the source.

  Not sure why Digium would say that.
