Re: [asterisk-users] ztdummy IVR no voice

[jordan pan]

Thanks for your reply. this case happens sometimes,may be one twentieth.

yes，the ztdummy is using the RTC, and i make sure the USE_RTC had defined in
ztdummy.c.

and i will use the method in patch 13930.

Thanks.

Best wishs to you!

Hi Jordan,

it happened to me too. I disabled the ACPI function and it worked.

So this only happens sometimes?  I'm wondering if ztdummy on your system 
is using the RTC and that the RTC interrupt is stopping on your system 
as in issue 13930 (http://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=13930)

If RTC is in use, you could try making sure that USE_RTC is not defined 
in ztdummy.c.

OK, a few checks in the dahdi code (look, I spelt it right! :) and the 
changes are minimal and would apply to both the 1.2 and 1.4 versions of 
ztdummy. What's the recomended way to publish patches - if anyone wants

Thanks, but I'm sticking to 1.2 for the time being. I might look at what's 
changed in dhadi though, and I'll switch to it when I can type it without 
making a typo.

If you're already making system changes and updating your kernel, now 
might be a good time to make the switch to dahdi.  dahdi_dummy works 
with recent kernels.

But otherwise, you might be interested in the history of dahdi_dummy.c 
to get some hints about what you might need to do for ztdummy if you 
want to make a local patch for that.

The best way to use ztdummy is to read about the change to using
DAHDI, and use dahdi_dummy instead.

Hi JR,

Tried with another motherboard: it works!!
Tried with Asterisk 1.2 and 1.4: it works!!

I cannot still believeit works...IT WORKS!!!

Need to make some other tests with other kernels/machines/cards but I'm 
sure this is the right way!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!  ::-))

Your mother boards are probably not 100% the same, maybe a chipset is
newer and causing an interrupt problem.  I've seen this before.  Put
'acpi=off' in your kernel boot parameter line in the grub menu.lst
like this:

title   Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-686
root(hd0,0)
kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18--686 root=/dev/sda1 ro acpi=off
initrd  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-686
savedefault

Reboot, and that should do it.

Re: [asterisk-users] ztdummy: rtc: lost some interrupts at 1024Hz.

[Remi Quezada]

I remember having that issue once and I fixed it by changing a
configuration in the motherboard BIOS.  It was related to the SATA hard
drive mode it was running on.  The default configuration was set to
legacy mode I believe and when I changed it to enhanced mode the lost of
interrupts problem I was having went away.  I had a Supermicro
motherboard in case you were curious.

There is no need to run ztcfg if you just want to use ztdummy.
The call to ztcfg is probably just part of some standard init script.

-v doesn't change the output . zaptel.conf is not needed for ztdummy, as
ztdummy does not handle spanconfig, start or whatever. It simply starts
operating at the moment it is probed.

This thing might have been useful for zaptel channels, if you had any.

Hi there,

Try running "genzaptelconf -v" and restart asterisk. Here's what I have
 in /etc/zaptel.conf  in order to have the MeetMe working.

# Autogenerated by /usr/sbin/genzaptelconf -- do not hand edit
# Zaptel Configuration File

Re: [asterisk-users] ZTDUMMY Running but IAX2 message:Unable to support trunking on peer 'XXXXXXXX' without zaptel timing

[Paul Hales]

Most likely Asterisk has been built without zaptel support. (if you 
built Asterisk first then zaptel second, this will happen)

Rebuild Asterisk.

Hi All, Hope someone can help.

Asterisk version 1.4.14 is running and just installed zaptel-1.4.11with only 
ztdummy selected in menuselect .

ztdummy seems to be running (as below) but still get the above error, even

ztdummy does not use the USB uhci host controller for timing in kernel
2.6 .

It seems that there are some problems with ztdummy rtc and the CentOS
kernel (or 2.6.18 in general? Anything that uses RTC? I hear suprisingly 
few reports about it with the Etch kernel. I wonder if there is actually 
a difference or just a report bias).

Jerry, glad you got it working. acpi=off did cross my mind, but I don't

Well after conversations on the list (thanks so much for responses) and 
much google searching
it comes down to adding a kernel boot command line of "acpi=off" to 
grub.conf.

This keeps the real time clock ticking and playing wave files.

Thanks to all!

I'm using 32-bit as well, but it may depend on the hardware. I'm  
using HP DL-380s and Debian (both etch and sarge had the same problems.)


I did nothing other than upgrade my kernel (and recompile zaptel, of  
course) and it just started to work. I used to get a lot of those  
missing interrupt errors to the console before, not now.


If zttest hangs, I'd suspect the drivers are loaded. Otherwise,  
you'll get an error that it can't find a zap device (and playback  
then works.)

All this machineray is not really required. All you need is to modprobe
ztdummy somewhere in the boot pcess . IIRC it can be even after asterisk
starts.

No real need to load any otyher modules. No need to run ztcfg. No need
to run anything else from the zaptel init.d script.

Tony,

This is what  I do. In this case I also editied /etc/sysconfig/zaptel 
and removed (commented) all modules except ztdummy.

Sounds like the module got auto-unloaded due to not being in use.

I have found the most reliable way to invoke zaptel/ztdummy is using the
proper init script:

1. In your zaptel source directory, do "make config". That will create
/etc/rc.d/init.d/zaptel and the rcX.d links to it.
2. Likeewise, in your asterisk source directory, also do "make config"
if you haven't already.  That will create /etc/rc.d/init.d/asterisk and
the rcX.d links.
3. Do "chkconfig zaptel on" and "chkconfig asterisk on" just to be sure.
4. Do "service zaptel start". That will load the modules and do any
configuration necessary. Try that and then watch /proc/interrupts.
5. Also do "service asterisk start".
6. When the system is booted up in future, zaptel and asterisk should
automatically start.

Just updated to 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 (i386), re-installed zaptel and ztdummy,
and the RTC interrupt counter is incrementing just fine.

Is this system used for other things, or could you try installing a
32-bit (i386) version of CentOS and trying again?  64-bit vs 32-bit
is the only think I can think of at the moment.

Also, what do you get from: fgrep RTC /var/log/messages

the RTC hook since 2.6.9 with no problems, and again on 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5

Unless it's a 64-bit issue - I've only ever used 32-bit.

You are correct zttest hangs.
dmesg doesnt show anything, ztdummy loads fine. lsmod shows it.
I see no rtc errors in dmesg either.

I have tried 2.6.24.4 and same situation. rtc just has 1 in

Hi Jerry,

Is that with ztdummy loaded or not? By default, Linux doesn't have anything
that uses the RTC interrupt, so without ztdummy it will usually stay at 1.

Once ztdummy and zaptel are loaded, then you should see it incrementing.
If not, that suggests a problem.

I have just installed ztdummy on a new system running 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5,
and it is incrementing fine. I didn't realise there was a newer kernel out;
I'll have to update and try again.

I didn't know the "watch" command - that's cool!

Jerry, the first thing to check is "cat /proc/interrupts" and see if there
is an entry for rtc on IRQ 8. There should be, and the interrupt counts
on there should be going up at approximately 1024 per second.

What kernel version are you using? (uname -a)

  

Tony,

/proc/interrupts shows:

   CPU0   CPU1
8:   1   0   IO-APIC-edge rtc

So the RTC is not incrementing.

uname -a shows x86_64 and Centos 5.1,  2.6.18-53.1.14.el5

There is something with Playback() where ztdummy helps, I have had 
issues with skipping audio or gsm audio files that won't playback until 
ztdummy is loaded.

I have seen this in 1.4 and in the 1.6 betas. I also think this guy 
needs to recompile zaptel and look for errors in compiling.

Hi,
I found another weird problem.  If I don't have ztdummy, then when I connect
using a xlite in another computer within the same lan, I get errored:


00:40:08 Registering user '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
00:40:08 Failed registration  for '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' with cause 'service

00:50:50 Registering user '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'

If I turned ztdummy on, I can connect.

Any idea why?

ztdummy is required by meetme application. If you have no intention to
use it, you might very well remove.

I've seen this problem once, however recompiling everything and
restarting helped me. I would suggest you just doing "make clean" on
zaptel and asterisk, then compile first zaptel, then asterisk.

Re: [asterisk-users] ztdummy, zttest

[Tony Plack]

Well, I got it working.
 
Come to find out that it looks like version 2.6.18 of the kernel has issues with the RTC.  It has little to do with any of the other things that I tried.
 
I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.23.1 and on the first try, it comes up and runs with TSC.
 
ztdummy is working for me now.
 
I used the oldconfig to update the kernel from the debian 2.6.18-5-686 and compiled.  Runs well.

I will change BIOS options and other things on Wednesday, since we don't
have right now physical access to this server.

In other boxes ztdummy worked like a charm...

Re: [asterisk-users] ztdummy, zttest

[Tony Plack]

Debian as well as everyone else  2.6.18-5
 
Zaptel is branch/1.4 latest.
 
The issue is not with Zaptel though...IMHO.  If you look at /proc/driver/rtc, I find:
rtc_time    : 14:34:27
rtc_date    : 2007-11-12
rtc_epoch    : 1900
alarm        : 16:30:31
DST_enable    : no
BCD        : yes
24hr        : yes
square_wave    : no
alarm_IRQ    : no
update_IRQ    : no
periodic_IRQ    : no
periodic_freq    : 1024
batt_status    : okay
 
If you notice, there is no periodic_IRQ.  That is the issue.  To me (and the kernels reported here) it is a Debian kernel problem.
 
If I turn off ACPI, Zaptel works, but the box performance is awful because other things, which depend on ACPI do not have interrupts.
 
I have read some places that if you have the Hard Drive Suppend in the BIOS enabled, you will get this situation.  However, I would check the /proc/driver/rtc to see that you have periodic_IRQ.

I also tried y-k (last week) with no results in that machine. That
computer is a Dell PowerEdge 860. I just checked now in other machine
(standard Pentium 4) and just loading ztdummy and running zttest is
working. In other machine, running ztdummy and zttest too.

I don't know why this PowerEdge 860 is not working in that way :-(

Latest bristuff for 1.2 is y-k . See http://bristuff.org/ . 
However the bristuff Zaptel patch has no effect on ztdummy or Zaptel 
timing.

I know that you asked to Tony Plack, but maybe you can help me (we have
same problem, it seems).

I tried with last Asterisk and Zaptel, kernel version 2.6.18-4 (Debian
Etch default kernel).

I also tried using bristuff 0.3y, 0.3s, etc. (is it 0.3 bristuff when
Asterisk is 1.2.X?). Always without any result :-(

I hope that tomorrow I will have time to reproduce the same scenario
with other computer. I will tell the results.
Sorry to take so long to answer. Thursday and Friday I was not in
office and I didn't have time... (well, I'm not in office now but I'm
interested :-D)

Before read your mail, I did noacpi (I guess that is the same,
/proc/interrupts file changed). But without any luck. I also tried noht

The thing is that this works, but

The performance of the box becomes really bad.

It seems that the problem, at least in my case is that the HPET timer from the 
cpu does not get an IRQ for the RTC.

Does anyone else have a solution for this issue where the RTC does not get an 
interrupt when HPET is turned on?

Good try, but no.
 
All that was loaded was zttranscode and zaptel, but I did unload them.
 
Here is what is loaded after I rmmod zaptel (and verified with a lsmod)

zttranscode             7656  0
ztdummy                 5032  0
zaptel                183396  1 ztdummy

I've seen something similar happen before, and it was due to having drivers
for cards loaded that were not in the system.

Try removing all modules (including ztdummy), then loading ztdummy.

 If I load ztdummy, my audio in BackGround (or Playback) cannot be
 heard.  If I rmmod ztdummy and restart Asterisk, Background
 works.  What am I missing?

Yes, but if you didn't need MeetMe it would be silly to try to diagnose it.

I suspect ztdummy is loading correctly, but the system is not generating 
interrupts for ztdummy sync to.  Traditionally ztdummy used a USB 
interface to get timing, but at some point I think it switched to using 
the kernel RTC if available.

I don't use ztdummy -- I'm just recalling what I've seen on the mailing 
lists and IRC over the years.

I had similar issues with 1.4.12 just one time (also topmost zaptel at
that date). We recompiled everything, and it suddenly worked. But we
had to revert to 1.4.10 because of some crashes - so no more data on
this.

If you can repeate this, i suggest you registering a bug in
bugs.digium.com, i could add "meetoo" there :D

Thank you. I compiled and installed from the 1.4 branch and this has
solved the problem. Audio and conferencing work as expected.

Can you try zaptel from 1.4 SVN, or even ztdummy from 1.4 SVN?

 http://svn.digium.com/svn/zaptel/branches/1.4/ztdummy.c

It should now use high-resolution timers for 2.6.22 users , so this may
work around your problem.

I thought this might be due to the fact that this is a Dual Core
Processor, so I tested using "maxcpus=1" as a parameter to the kernel. This did 
not
resolve the problem. The CPU is:

Which kernel exactly?

A packaged, or self-built?

What is the output of:  uname -a

I have a similar problem and am also using Debian (lenny). I'm using an
SMP kernel. Could that be the issue?

I tested with an AGI script, and the problem is that audio isn't sent.
The script receives DTMF digits and otherwise acts as expected.

You need to apply the patch from:
http://bugs.digium.com/file_download.php?file_id=15160&type=bug
to your zaptel source and rebuild zaptel. You can read more here:
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=10314

This should fix your issue and even give you high resolution timers.

Patrick

Hi Saqib

Strangely it would seem that your kernel does not have a Real Time Clock
(RTC) compiled in.  ztdummy can function fine without it, but
automatically assumes all 2.6.* kernel's to have it.

Therefore you can either recompile your kernel adding RTC support, or
modify ztdummy source.

Try commenting out the instances of "#define USE_RTC"  (add "//" before
it) in zaptel.c.  Then:
make clean
make
make install

Let me know how you get on.

Kind Regards,
Dave Walker

Does dmesg tell you anything useful? Sometimes modules will output errors
there.

Not using safe_asterisk is a good idea.

As you don't need ztcfg for ztdummy, the only line you need from the
above four lines is:

  modprobe ztdummy

Or use the zaptel init script. If it finds no zaptel timing source it
modprobes ztdummy.

With the latest zaptel init script, you can simply use it (once the
modules unloading fixes are in place). But then aghain, there is no harm
whatsoever from not unloading ztdummy at system shutdown.

That's because of the bogus setting in /etc/modprobe.conf that runs
ztcfg needlessly on the time of the load of ztdummy, and because uev is
slightly slow in creating the zaptel devices (the init.d script only
runs ztcfg after wait_fot_zapctl).

You can avoid all of that sleep (or at least most of it) easily.

Thanks. This was the missing configuration step. A manual start/stop

You don't. You don't need to unload the zaptel modules before rebooting.
  

make config installs both a start and stop entry for me.
/etc/init.d/zaptel stop unload the kernel modules. I don't see the
point of trying to do that even if you switch runlevel.
The error just looks ugly when rebooting, but it's not really an issue
of course.

I understand. What I tried to say is that if a wav file can be played
at the correct speed, why would a conference application need a special
driver to achieve the same? I assume it is needed as part of the
hardware driver and that this application happens to use the timing

Sorry, my typo here:

On redhats:

  sed -i '/ztdummy/d' /etc/modprobe.conf

On Debians and probably most others:
  
  sed -i '/ztdummy/d' /etc/modprobe.d/zaptel

Basically: delete the line that runs 'ztcfg' automatically after the
modprobe of ztdummy. While for "real" hardware modules there is some
point in rnning this (and I still wouldn't recommend it), for zaptel,
ztdynamic, ztdummy and xpp_usb this is totally pointless and has indeed 
been removed  in the SVN versions.

Or add /dev/null

Why would one application need a special driver? What so
different about the Meetme() application? Playing a wav file doesn't
need a special timing source for instance. But, I'm just a simple end

Hi

I run asterisk 1.4.2 with zaptel 1.4.1.
Zaptel is only needed for the ztdummy driver to get the Meetme()
application to work. I don't have any specific hardware.
And it does work nicely. When I reboot the machine however I have to
manually load the driver like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# modprobe ztdummy
Notice: Configuration file is /etc/zaptel.conf
line 0: Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl'

1 error(s) detected

  
  
The error message is meaningless for ztdummy. Please test if you have a
working timing source with:

  zttest -v

Best: 98.156738 -- Worst: 97.900391 -- Average: 98.024205

2% too slow? Doesn't look very accurate for a timing reference. On the
other end Meetme() work like a charm.

  
To get rid of this error, remove the line that runs an automatic ztcfg
at the load of ztdummy:  sed -i '/ztdummy/d'

  

Or add /dev/null

Yes it works indeed thanks. It turns out that (for me) the "modprobe
ztdummy" alone works as well. I do get an error message as shown before,
but both ztummy and zaptel get loaded and Meetme() works. The 15 seconds
delay would add to the boot time
I also tried the suggestion of Eric Wieling. Appearantly make config is
what I had not done. This creates the needed module load scripts. The
module remove scripts do not work properly, but who cares if the machine
is going down anyway?

The error message is meaningless for ztdummy. Please test if you have a
working timing source with:

  zttest -v

To get rid of this error, remove the line that runs an automatic ztcfg
at the load of ztdummy:  sed -i '/ztdummy/d'

Note that I made the following customizations to the script prior to 
installing it:

Re: [asterisk-users] ztdummy and MOH

[Andrew Joakimsen]

No, what happens is the SIP client has silence suppression enabled.
MOH works by symmetrical RTP. One frame of voice is received one frame
of MOH is sent. So if the client supresses silence frames there is no
MOH played during that time.

ALso if you see:

started music on hold
stopped music on hold right after

Chances are its your configuration that is the issue.

Maybe the idiot is the guy who posted no additional details of his
configuration, in particular, whether the CLI was showing music on
hold starting, and then stopping, or whether the music on hold process
was continuing but no sound.

If it was a timing issue, by rubbing your hand across the mouthpiece,
I would guess it is generating interupts for the timer to work and
music on hold works, until you stop rubbing it and it fades it out.
Hitting or tapping the mouthpiece produces the same outcome.

Or, it that doesn't produce anything, it could be a permissions
problem.  It could be something not configured correctly in the config
file.  It could be that you are using mp3s instead of native format,
as Andrew had asked about.

But, since I'm an idiot, what do I know?

Try adding this to the [options] section of 
/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf:
internal_timing = yes

The restart asterisk.  Let us know if it helps.

If the call was a SIP call then I would say that the device is using
VAD/CND (silence detection).  This is the classic cause of MoH only
working when there is audio going in the other direction.  Maybe there
is SIP somewhere in the call path.



I have the similar problem on 1.4.1.  I don't remember having it in
1.4.0, I could be wrong.  I have a SIP provider, when calls come in,
it play MOH while waiting for to be picked up.  ztdummy is loaded.

Another interesting thing I notice,

exten => s,1,Zapateller(answer|nocallerid)
exten => s,n,Background(PleaseWait)
exten => s,n,Dial(100,30,r)

Please note, if I use "r" (ring) instead of "m" in the Dial option, I
have choppy ring too.  If I rub my finger on the mouth piece, the
ring/MOH is fine.

Any solution to this problem?  I'm using asterisk 1.4.1 with zaptel 1.4.0.

Thanks.

Not that it will help me, because I'm pretty much clueless from
here...  How are you calling music on hold?  Is this just by putting
someone on hold, or do you have an extension defined with music on
hold?  Someone else may be able to pick up on something by knowing
that.

In the forums, there's a mention of music on hold having problems when
used with the dial command (instead of ringing, use music on hold).  I
know there is an issue using that in connection with chan_sccp and
Cisco phones.  I've run out of ideas.  Hopefully someone in the
morning that's had this issue will see this.

It kinda rules out any bad files or conversion problems if you've used
the files that came with asterisk.

I hate being stumped, but I'm stumped.

That rules out the timing.

I see this note in the config file:

; If you are not using "autoload" in modules.conf, then you
; must ensure that the format modules for any formats you wish
; to use are loaded _before_ res_musiconhold. If you do not do
; this, res_musiconhold will skip the files it is not able to
; understand when it loads.

Does that apply?  Also, I'm not sure if this still applies, but at one
time, you had to issue a restart command if you added any music files
for the Asterisk to see them.  A reload command wouldn't do it.  Have
you tried restart (not of the system, just Asterisk from cli).

Another thing you may or not be able to check...  what if you just put
the files in the default directory and in the default context?  Do
they work then?  This would eliminate some of the musiconhold config
options causing problems.  I guess along those lines do the default
music on hold files work?

Lacy, it appeared to me that he was calling himself an idiot.  Thanks for
some of the background on the issue, though.

I was going somewhere with that, but never mind.  Good luck.

Maybe the idiot is the guy who posted no additional details of his
configuration, in particular, whether the CLI was showing music on
hold starting, and then stopping, or whether the music on hold process
was continuing but no sound.

If it was a timing issue, by rubbing your hand across the mouthpiece,
I would guess it is generating interupts for the timer to work and
music on hold works, until you stop rubbing it and it fades it out.
Hitting or tapping the mouthpiece produces the same outcome.

Or, it that doesn't produce anything, it could be a permissions
problem.  It could be something not configured correctly in the config
file.  It could be that you are using mp3s instead of native format,
as Andrew had asked about.

But, since I'm an idiot, what do I know?
