Michael;

Roger that.  I'll check my schedule to see when I might have some time  
available to make the change.
It seems as if I have some time available the tuesday after (bleep)  
freezes over.


Acronym corrected. ;-)

Karl,

Yeah, this post is wrong. You've got "acronym" misspelled. Once you  
fix that then I think it's all good! ;)


Seriously, it's okay to put critical information into the wiki, but  
perhaps you could remove the tongue-in-cheek comments.

Funny you mention this.  Many people report that the way the FS
community refers to Asterisk in docs/wikis/irc/whatever makes the FS
camp seem *less* welcoming to them.  After all, they identify as
Asterisk Users and take the criticism as being kinda harsh.  Most of
them acknowledge the shortcomings of Asterisk but are put off when
someone else points them out.  It's crazy, I know.  The thing is, I
remember thinking that too.  After getting to know FS better, I  
didn't

notice it as much.  Nobody likes to hear their baby is ugly --even if
they know it is.

Interesting. I'd like to know what specifically turned them off. It  
could be node 117, but that was written by Anthony in response to  
dozens of questions about the subject. In any case, if the Asterisk  
guys look at the first edition of the Starfish/TFOT book they'll  
see glowing praise of Anthony Minessale and Brian West, so maybe  
they'll be willing to listen to those guys since they've got so  
much Asterisk knowledge. The other thing is that many people in the  
FreeSWITCH community are Asterisk refugees. They left Asterisk for  
FreeSWITCH because they had some sort of trouble with Asterisk. If  
that comes across in the docs then we'll have to see about cleaning  
that up.


At our session, and in general, I've noticed people are more
interested in hearing about FS when you don't make direct comparisons
to Asterisk.  Besides, FS stands on it's own merit.

Agreed. Direct comparisons can always be slanted in any direction.  
Besides, FreeSWITCH stacks up very well against a lot of modern  
(i.e. expensive) equipment put out by the big boys (Cisco, Avaya,  
NEC, ShoreTel, etc.).


Just what I've observed *and* my 2 additional cents.

Re: [Freeswitch-users] Youtube - FreeSWITCH Promo Video

2009-10-06 Thread Karl Vesterling

I'm flattered that you consider my abilities so capable, but time nor  
budget are available to afford such extravagance as outlined below.

Besides, bashing something doesn't really gain you any respect (but I  
do think that _*_ does ever sooo much deserve bashing).

What I have done is added to the end of the movie a Cisco 7900 series  
(top left), a Snom 360 (top right), and a Grandstream video phone  
(bottom right.)

I need more though...

I was thinking the point of the video was more along the lines to get  
people interested in FreeSWITCH, not bash such an easy target as  
(insert * here).

I think that can be done by showing various equipment from multiple  
manufacturers at the end of the movie, with another title declaring,  
"INTEROPERABILITY"...

Fade some in, fade out, fade some more in, perhaps including a sangoma  
card, over and over again...

So far I've got artwork for Cisco 7900, Snom, Grandstream...  I could  
put in a SPA-942, etc...
These are the type of "suggestions" I'm looking for... Although I  
really do like the drama with, "Oh no!  One of our threads is  
blocking!" (still chuckling...)  It did give me a few ideas too, so  
keep em' coming!

2009-10-05 Thread Karl Vesterling


Sadly the budget of time and props can't afford such extravagance...
But OMG I'm still laughing...

I was e-mailing earlier off the list, and came up with some nice  
"names" that could be put in the "credits"...


Like:

Anthony Minnessale -as- Obi-Code-Kenobi  (But I do like "Master Coda"  
from below.)


Mike Jerris -as- Luke Skypewalker

Richard Stallman -as- cpp30

Stuff like that...

I corrected to "speech" vs "speach" (my bad, sorry...)

Now, as far as the below, I imagine we could pull that off using the  
REAL footage, and dubbing in the audio if someone can do a decent  
Darth Spencer, errr Vader voice...  But something tells me that Mr.  
Lucas might get a bit peeved at such a thing...

Re: [Freeswitch-users] A real puzzler for you guys... (perpetual registration causes denial of service.)

2009-09-18 Thread Karl Vesterling
No penguin is perfect...
There's issues w/ 2.6.X - 2.6.27.X with respect to timing for things  
like packet shaping, which is a requirement for me.
2.6.29.X onward, well, I might be inclined to try the latest revision,  
but last I tested was 2.6.30, and it was truly all round badness, with  
everything.  They seem to have the IRQ handling problems re-worked,  
but even if you compile WITHOUT dynamic ticks, it's still horrible on  
the CPU.

I'll wait until 2.6.32...  What I got now is working w/ the  
workaround.  Thanks Brian.

(thinking to self, you know...  Maybe there's a reason for the bias of  
these BSD zealots  It ran fine on my old 11/780 which doubled as a  
forced air furnas...)

Re: [Freeswitch-users] A real puzzler for you guys... (perpetual registration causes denial of service.)

2009-09-16 Thread Karl Vesterling

Folks;

I give credit where credit is due, and I thank Brian K. West

What For:
This was found to be a compounded problem.  (Cisco was part of it...   
But the real problem was the linux kernel...)
Suffice it to say, without the kernel bug, the cisco bug wouldn't have  
been easily found.


What Kernel Bug:
It's a kernel bug that corrupted the sqlite database.
This caused Freeswitch to refuse the phones registration request.
This in turn caused the phones to re-register.
Problem was, with 10 phones, 6 lines each, perpetually registering on  
a 100Mbps LAN, well, you can imagine the overhead.
This created severe latency with Freeswitch, and manifested as dropped  
calls, one way audio, and the more phones you had, the worse the  
problem was.


Workaround for problem was to use a ramdisk (tmpfs)  for the database  
- (Big Thanks to bkw!)


So far, it's been 24 hours, and all systems are nice and stable.  (no  
negative reports yet (fingers crossed)).


Brian (and Folks);
If this is stable through Friday (and there's no reason to think it  
won't be),  I will take the time to document the problem, basic  
configuration,  and the workaround for the problem on the Wiki this  
weekend.

Re: [Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH under the Linux 2.6.29 kernel

2009-05-11 Thread Karl Vesterling

Folks;

Bear in mind that  the frequency is (X)Hz  * (num cores), hence saying  
100Hz on a dual core winds up being 200Hz.


My setup is 250Hz on a Dual-Core and the quality is perfect.

Oh, btw folks, don't attempt to do anything involving QOS (be it TBF,  
CBQ, HTB, or whatnot) on anything less than kernel 2.6.28.4


I don't know why exactly that is, but extensive testing here in the  
lab showed that this was entirely FUBAR until 2.6.25.7 where it got  
better, but not perfect until 2.6.28.4

(I may not be exact on the revisions, but close enough...)

There's also some options in the kernel that you must disable (not  
compile in) if you expect packet shaping to work.


If there's interest in this, e-mail me directly and I'll see if I can  
toss it into the FS Wiki some time this upcoming weekend.

Maybe he did something with them, I dont know.

In eithe case, chan_rtpdir.c and chan_dstar.c are posted here.

Question for you:

chan_rtpdir.c and chan_dstar.c talk to a radio application
within asterisk so that the audio can go over the air.

Is there any application inside Freeswitch that we can use
to interface chan_dstar.c and chan_rtpdir.c with ?

Anyway the posts are 711 and 712 and here they are:

Great, the more options the better.

I will send you the Echolink channel driver and the
IRLP channel driver for Asterisk.
For IRLP you could also download Speak-Freely but it is

stand-alone miniPC that can take a PCI card with a riser, instead of a
really tiny box that relies on an external box to connect to a PSTN  
line.


Mini-box offers a $120 kit that includes an Intel D945GCLF mobo and a
pico-PSU. All it misses, is RAM and some mass storage.

Does someone know if there's some kind of CompactFlash that can  
connect to

an IDE port? That would save space + noise.

Thank you.

Re: [Freeswitch-users] FS 13157 fsctl shutdown restart sequence fails ...

2009-04-27 Thread Karl Vesterling

I've been noticing that for a while now, probably the last 3 weeks.

It's more frequent on slower systems (2.2Ghz and below), and ALWAYS  
the case on one dual-core 800Mhz. (two CPU's)

OpenSIPs doesn't?

I don't know enough about VoIP etc. to be able to tell, but at first

it seems like OpenSIPs doesn't really handle PBX features, which  
would be a

strong point in favor of FreeSwitch.

Ben;

Can you imagine me injecting a question about a SIP profile into  
that conversation??



Don't be bashful, just jump right in:
If I'm going into #freeswitch at 11pm at night, it's probably  
because I really need some help with some problem I've run into  
after hours. Can you imagine me injecting a question about a SIP  
profile into that conversation??

[23:12]   Excuse me, I hate to interrupt, but I have a  
FreeSwitch question regarding (foo), can anyone help me with that?


Point being that you're certainly not going to get any assistance if  
you neglect to ask for it.


I'm not sure I speak for all of us, but we volunteer our time in the  
IRC channel, and on the Wiki.  Since we're not paid to give our advice  
and/or professional opinions, we're going to "goof off" when there's  
no one there asking for help.  We're also going to goof off when  
there's people in there that need help, but are too bashful or afraid  
to ask for it.  It's human nature, and it will happen.  It even  
happens in the work place.  Should you doubt me, just watch around the  
water cooler at work.  Guaranteed you'll see a couple folks engaged in  
conversation that is non-work-related.


You'd probably have gotten your answer a lot sooner by asking for it  
in IRC as outlined above, rather that too whine about the  
conversations of the people that volunteer their time to help you.


Summary:
If you need help, ask.
If you don't ask, then the only outcome of that lack of action is what?

I could say more, a lot more, but I think I've made my point.

[Freeswitch-users] Linksys/Cisco SPA400 (ATA 4 Line FXO) Now Documented in Wiki

2008-12-02 Thread Karl Vesterling


Folks;

I've just taken the time to document the Sipura, err, Linksys, errr  
Cisco SPA400 4 line FXO Analog Telephone Adapter in the Wiki.


http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/SPA400_FreeSwitch_HowTo

If anyone uses these ATA's and has questions about it let me know and  
I'll see if I can answer them in the Wiki.


Of course, if you know something about it that I haven't documented,  
by all means, document it in the Wiki. ;-)


**Note:
MikeJ seems to think that I'm overlooking something pertaining to the  
registration of the SPA400 without a password. Evidently this pertains  
to accepting blind auth, but I'd need to know more about that before  
knowing how to piece it in.

Re: [Freeswitch-users] Transfer/Bridge

2008-11-23 Thread Karl Vesterling

I think I see the confusion here.

I think the confusion lies in the terminology of the term "transfer"  
such that he's thinking of the action of transferring a call.
Transferring the call would be implemented in the Dialplan via a  
bridge action.


Whereas in Freeswitch Dialplan terminology "Transfer" refers to having  
the Dialplan "transfer" to a different extension and/or context.

There is a bit of a learning curve, but believe me it's well worth it.

Re: [Freeswitch-users] mod_perl examples?

2008-09-14 Thread Karl Vesterling

See, that's exactly the problem I'm encountering.

I have approximately 10 hours / week to invest into Freeswitch.
So to invest say 40 hours into Freeswitch takes approximately 1 month.

It would be nice to have some documentation of the API instead of  
having to "explore" and "re-discover".


If there are some examples that I can reference to lessen this  
"discovery" process, I'd definitely take the time to document this in  
the Wiki, as I did with the ENUM

Re: [Freeswitch-users] mod_perl examples?

2008-09-13 Thread Karl Vesterling


With regard to mod_lua straight from the Wiki changed to mod_perl:

-- answer the call
session:answer();

-- play a file
session:streamFile("/path/to/blah.wav");

-- hangup
session:hangup();
mod_perl Equivalent:

$session->answer();
## I wonder what gets returned if the call failed to answer.  Let's  
say late negotiation is enabled, and it fails for that reason, how  
would I know what the cause was?
## would mod_perl be "killed" in action if that failed, or would it  
continue running until exit()?


## One could assume:
my $AnswerStatus = $session->answer();
## might contain SOMETHING, but what??

$session->streamFile("/some/path/to/file.wav");
## This probably does work.

$session->hangup();
## Probably works as well, and we don't care about anything it  
returns, since it should always return true, right?


##But now for the interesting ones...
my $DigitsDialed = $session->read();
### Evidently the arguments in the lua example of session:read(5,10,"/ 
path/to/some/file.wav", 3000, "#");
### mean something with the file.wav probably being the prompt, the  
3000 probably being a 3 second timeout,
### and the "#" quite possibly being a terminator to stop taking  
digits, but 5,10


Specifically (in one instance) I'm looking to do the following:
Check the status of a particular phone/extension, see if it's  
currently registered, busy, presence, or whatnot.
Depending on the "condition" of that phone, and quite possibly the  
time of day in the time zone the phone is in, do something.  As to  
that something, well that'd be determined by what information I could  
obtain from the phone/user.


Another for instance:
For some incoming calls, I'd like to check to see if it's encrypted,  
and if it is, then and ONLY then, send it on through, otherwise call  
the extension, play a recording that the call is NOT encrypted, and  
they dial (X) to answer of (Y) to do something else etc...  At that  
point I might wish to record the non-encrypted call for review by  
someone should a need arise in the future, or if indicated in a DB  
somewhere.  Depending on the location (physical location) of the  
remote phone, I might have to play a recording notifying at least ONE  
party or BOTH parties that the call is being recorded.


Another for instance:
Outbound calls kind of like tele-marketing, but not.  What's that  
mean?  Think of it as an intelligent phone-tree that initiates a  
conference amongst many participants.

The "caller" dials a particular "extension" that's in their dialplan.
That extension kicks off an (for the lack of a better word) AGI, kind  
of like an intercom, but branches out to (X) people, who may be at (Y)  
numbers.


Person (A) which is one of (X) receives the call on their (Y)  
extensions.

They Answer one or many of them.
They dial their pin.
The other numbers/phones (Y) they're at stop ringing and they're  
dumped into a conference.


SUMMARY:
There's lots of stuff to write, but little if anything that doesn't  
involve hours upon hours of experimentation which sorry to say makes  
the learning curve too steep.
Imagine if Perl itself lacked documentation and Larry Wall merely  
said, "Go forth and play! It's sorta like 'C'!"
