Re: [Astlinux-users] Direct In Dial

[Clara Chan]

Yeah, just finally figured that out.

But the pbx still does not seem to recognize  or 

I've checked the sip header, it's coming in as 
To: 

I had a sip header coming in as y...@voice.mibroadband.com.au as well,
but that's no longer working. I should really stop changing things on
the fly.

But as a general question out there, should I create user accounts under
sip.conf for xxx, yyy and zzz??

Cheers,
Clara

Clara,

I would try leaving off the /x at the end of the register, doesn't  
that force all the calls to go to x ?

Short answer is yes.

Long answer is yes, but...  The 'but' part is you'll have to do it 
manually.  Take a look at what's created in /tmp/etc/inadyn.conf, make a 
copy of that and place it somewhere else (perhaps /mnt/kd/inadyn2.conf. 
  Alternatively, make a copy with one provider, updated through the gui 
using the second provider.  Either way, when you have the config file, 
you'll need to start inadyn manually.  This can be done by creating a 
file called /mnt/kd/rc.local and placing your custom command in there. 
Make sure rc.local is set to executable.

I don't see enough of a need to update two dynamic dns services to make 
this a standard feature.

Re: [Astlinux-users] Direct In Dial

Thanks, Cleve

 

 

My ITSP is sending them as individual numbers, I just can't figure out
how to configure it in Asterisk yet. I've been able to do this with a
Linksys SPA9000 previously (so was hoping I can do the same thing in
Asterisk).

Hi Clara,

 

It would be a good idea to speak to your VSP and see how they pass your
DID numbers, if they have pointed all your did numbers to your sip
number and only passing your sip number through then you have no hope of
separating your calls as per individual DID numbers.

I don't think I understand what you are looking for. If you mean
multiple "direct inward dialing" from a single SIP account at a ITSP, it
is possible. I have one account with my provider but have three numbers
and have Asterisk on my AstLinux box sending those three numbers off to
three different phones.

 

To make this work you need several things:

 

1. Your provider to send the number dialed when it sets up the call my
provider calls it "DNIS" and there is a check box on their web page to
enable it on a per number basis. Your provider may have different names
or ways to set that up.

2. You need the SIP context for your account to send the call to an
"extension" that can handle the number string

3. You need your extensions.conf setup to handle the "dialed" number.

Try removing the /x from your registration string.  If I understand
this correctly, it means that all calls presented will be presented to
the x extension, regardless of DID.

Re: [Astlinux-users] Direct In Dial

[Philip A. Prindeville]

Turn on sip debugging, and see what your headers look like on incoming 
calls.

And as Tod suggested, Noop(DNIS ${DNIS} Exten ${EXTEN}) is your friend.

If you need to get deeper into the weeds than that, then you can start 
using SIPGetHeader()...

Hmmm... There are a few different versions of physdiskwrite.exe floating

As I remember, it was a little hit-or-miss on Vista.

But I have done it.

It wouldn't (unless it was "writing to cache" instead of "write-through").

You're limited to 12Mb/s on USB 1.1, so writing that much would take 
about 3 minutes minimum (am I doing my math right???).

That didn't help (nor did Win2000 mode etc). In fact, I can find no way at
all of formatting the blank partition in Vista, even using diskpart - it
just refuses because it's "removable media".

> Turn off flow-control (no xon/xoff, no rts/cts).

That didn't help either.

I suspect the unformatted secondary partition may be the problem. Can
anyone confirm that this must be done as a manual step to get astlinux
running on a 4801? I can't find any reference to this in any of the
documentation or mail archives. If so, it seems that using linux is the
only way to do it. I'll give it a try when I get a chance.

I'm suspicious that physdiskwrite created the first 128MB partition in
seconds under windows but DD took 15 mins under Ubuntu (same hardware).
Why would this be?

Committing to trunk...  #2229.  I didn't enable everything.  Just:

+CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_FTDI_SIO=m
+CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_IR=m

+CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_OPTION=m
+CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_DEBUG=m


Already forgotten what USB_SERIAL_OPTION does...  Oh, hang on.  That's 
not very handy.  I'll back that last one out...

Re: [Astlinux-users] Direct In Dial

[Clara Chan]

Sorry, to add one other comment, DNIS should be activated already as I
can get this to work on a Linksys 9000 by :201;:202;:203.

I have multiple "DIDs" from a single account eg x.  This account has
three separate direct-in-dial numbers, , . I have registered to
that account, but any number being forwarded 

 

I have configured my extensions.conf to 

 

Exten => ,1,Dial(SIP/201)

exten => ,1,Dial(SIP/202)

exten => ,1,Dial(SIP/203)

 

but all numbers dialled gets sent to SIP/201.

 

Having had a further read, I understand it's possible to use
sipgetheader, and trying 

exten => ,1,SIPGetHeader(Testing=To)

exten => ,n,GotoIf($["${Testing}"=""]?dial1)

exten => ,n(dial1),Dial(SIP/201)

 

but this does not appear to be working.

 

Any suggestions??

I don't think I understand what you are looking for. If you mean
multiple "direct inward dialing" from a single SIP account at a ITSP, it
is possible. I have one account with my provider but have three numbers
and have Asterisk on my AstLinux box sending those three numbers off to
three different phones.

 

To make this work you need several things:

 

1. Your provider to send the number dialed when it sets up the call my
provider calls it "DNIS" and there is a check box on their web page to
enable it on a per number basis. Your provider may have different names
or ways to set that up.

2. You need the SIP context for your account to send the call to an
"extension" that can handle the number string

3. You need your extensions.conf setup to handle the "dialed" number.

Re: [Astlinux-users] 2nd external port is a PPP link :: Details

[Ron Byer Jr.]

Kristian,

My sincere apologies. I did misread your prior post. I thought you were
speaking specifically about multiple PPP connections. 

I think it was Phillip that had asked for some details on my findings, so I
was going to answer that query in any event. 

As I mentioned previously, I am learning how the networking environment is
constructed... perhaps I will be able to contribute along these lines should
I get sufficiently well along. 

Regards,

rb

  Multiple external connections, in any configuration, will not work

Re: [Astlinux-users] 2nd external port is a PPP link :: Details

[Ron Byer Jr.]

Getting back to this finally. 

Here are some details on how I am attemting to set up the 2nd EXT port as a
PPP link:
 
EXTIF=eth0

EXTIP="96.56.230.78"
EXTNM="255.255.255.248"
EXTGW="96.56.230.73"


EXT2IF=ppp0

#EXT2IP="dhcp"
#EXT2NM="255.255.255.0"
#EXT2GW="68.236.211.11"


PPPOEUSER=""
PPPOEPASS=""
PPPOEIF="eth1"
PPPOEKERNEL="yes"
PPPOEDEBUG="yes"


Upon rebooting with this configuration, I find that I don't have a
eth0,eth1, or ppp0 connection:

sk3 ~ # ifconfig
eth2  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:24:CB:01:32
  inet addr:192.168.17.78  Bcast:192.168.17.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
  UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
  RX packets:145 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
  TX packets:109 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
  collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
  RX bytes:24112 (23.5 KiB)  TX bytes:36135 (35.2 KiB)
  Interrupt:9 Base address:0xe300

loLink encap:Local Loopback
  inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
  UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
  RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
  TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
  collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
  RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)


Other attempts:

I've experimented with the definition of EXT2IP/NM/GW, with no apparent
change.. Ultimately, I've left them commented out since they should be
assigned as part of the ppp setup in any event. 

I switched eth0 and eth1, making the ppp link on eth0.  End up with the same
interface configuration as above. 

Any thoughts would be welcome.  I've been tracing the network script
(S03Network) that is invoked during startup.  I don't have any intelligent
observations on that yet, so I will refrain from speaking on that process
till I understand what's going on there.

Ok, obliterate in what way?  Does the default route get stomped on?

usbcore is in the kernel so that's why you don't see it as a module.

   Hi Philip,
   I know kd85.com but that wouldn't help with Alix boards - they only
   have one COM port.
   I read that the PL-2303 driver is already
included into the Linux 2.6 kernel:

Thanks Darrick,

that would make some of my projects MUCH easier, 
not to have to fiddle with much too short serial 
adapter cables, drilling, and so on.

Maybe "usbcore" is also needed. Can't find it on 0.6.2.

Hi all, 

 

Has anybody here been able to configure multiple "Direct In Dial" in
Astlinux for a single account??

Michael,

Yes, that's correct.  Those two modules would need to be added.  I'm saying
it's worth the size of the modules.  We'll put it on the list to do.  The
Prolific usb/serial device is one of the more popular ones that's
compatible with Linux and it should only add a few hundred kb to the total
build.

Lonnie,

Openssl 0.9.8 may be more efficient than 0.9.7.  (Astlinux 0.6.2 uses
Openssl 0.9.7).  It's also likely that the hardware driver is more
developed in the newer kernel in Astlinux Trunk.  In any case, good
information!

It's probably got something to do with the machine not natting for itself. 
I posted a message on the Arno firewall mailing list so hopefully someone
will reply with a work around or get it incorporated into Arno's fw version
1.9.0.

Hi Philip,

thanks for your answer.
But that is NOT a USB-to-serial port driver.
That is an USB-to-USB "network" cable (or bridge 
controller), that's why it's under "Š/net/usb/" 
:-).

On my Debian 4 server it is in
/lib/modules/2.6.18-6-686/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.ko and
/lib/modules/2.6.18-6-686/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko

and it works out of the box. When you plug in the 
device "/dev/ttyUSB0" is created.

[Astlinux-users] OpenSSL cryptodev and Geode LX

[Lonnie Abelbeck]

Greetings,

As you may be aware, the Dev team has been able to get OpenSSL  
cryptodev support for the Geode LX (net5501 and Alix.) in trunk.

I've done some testing using OpenVPN with BF-CBC and AES-128-CBC  
ciphers on a Soekris net5501 500Mhz/512MB

Below are benchmarks using FTP to /tmp on AstLinux in an OpenVPN tunnel.

CPU load tests were done with a 14 Mbps speed test stream, traffic in/ 
out to net5501 via OpenVPN tunnel, then NAT'ed out/in to the internet,  
configured with Arno's firewall, traffic shaper disabled.

As a baseline, OpenVPN configured with no encryption yields 26 Mbits/ 
sec. No OpenVPN 90 Mbits/sec.

AstLinux 0.6.2 - OpenVPN Throughput
===

BF-CDC - 20 Mbits/sec - 55% CPU Load @14Mbps
AES-128-CBC - 15 Mbits/sec - 63% CPU Load @14Mbps
--

AstLinux trunk-2227 - OpenVPN Throughput
No OpenSSL_OCF CryptDev support
===

BF-CDC - 18 Mbits/sec - 48% CPU Load @14Mbps
AES-128-CBC - 15 Mbits/sec - 58% CPU Load @14Mbps
--

AstLinux trunk-2227 - OpenVPN Throughput
With OpenSSL_OCF CryptDev support
===

BF-CDC - 15 Mbits/sec - 25% CPU Load @14Mbps
AES-128-CBC - 20 Mbits/sec - 25% CPU Load @14Mbps
--

What I find interesting, the Geode LX only supports AES-128, but  
BlowFish seems to be benefitted CPU-wise but lower throughput.

Also, the non-accelerated trunk has slight lower BlowFish performance  
than 0.6.2.

In conclusion, it appears to me that using AES-128-CBC with  
OpenSSL_OCF CryptDev support is a no-brainer for the net5501, others  
concur?

If anyone has any insights/opinions to these results, please comment.

Lonnie

That's the curious thing.  If I redirect it to another machine then it 
works fine.  If the service is running on the firewall host itself, it 
doesn't.

The problem is that I want the application to be agnostic, and use the 
standard configuration, which is to open all interfaces (wild-card bind) 
and use the standard port #.

[Astlinux-users] Voip Info Wiki offering free adverts to FOSS projects

[Michael Graves]

I suggest that Astlinux is a prime candidate for this offer.
http://is.gd/cWWz

I'd be happy to help by creating the ad if the project leads want to go
ahead with it.

Chris,

Arno's firewall handles that situation nicely.  It's if you are running 
a service on the same box that the firewall resides on that you have the 
issue.  Say you have http on the firewall box on port 80, but don't want 
it accessible on port 80 from the outside.  Arno's firewall currently 
doesn't handle this the same way as it does devices behind it.  Probably 
because it's not NAT'ing for itself.

Perhaps the firewall can already do that, but we're just using the wrong 
field/variable.

I do it all the time - for example, I run internal ssh server access on 
ports 23-28, one for each machine, so I can ssh to the machine by 
ssh'ing to the corresponding port. I relocate http to 800+ for similar 
devices that use web configuration interfaces. I also use it for serving 
multiple webcams to the public, each one on a port above 80. Since they 
are onlyu found by redirect, it doesn't matter what port they are on. I 
could change the port they serve on but that makes maintenance a headace.
I use Shorewall as my firewall and it is relatively easy to do in Shorewall.

Re: [Astlinux-users] USB2Serial-adapter with Soekris or Alix board

Hi Philip,
I know kd85.com but that wouldn't help with Alix boards - they only 
have one COM port.
I read that the PL-2303 driver is already included into the Linux 2.6 kernel:

http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31

Would it be possible to include it/activate it in Astlinux?
