Re: [on-asterisk] Voicemail Problems
As mentioned, sounds like a permissions issue again. I'm not sure about current Trixbox, but there is a script called safe_asterisk (/usr/sbin/safe_asterisk) usually called to start Asterisk and the FOP. In this script, you can set who Asterisk runs as - check there and that this is the same as the owner on your voicemail directories.

RE: [on-asterisk] OpenMoko Talk
hmmm...That's intresting. Asterisk on a cell phone . Don't have to worry about GSM gateways anymore. This will open up the missing half of telephony (Wireless). Great news to me.

Re: [on-asterisk] Telephony Abroad
Hi Drew, Yes you'll have no problem with your Digium TDM400P. I've configured all of the FXOs to use Singapore as the locale, and they all work fine. The same setup works in my Philippines setups. You'll find the Internet infrastructure in Singapore to be excellent. ADSL and E1s are most common. People in Toronto are amazed when I call them and it seems like a local number, but I'm talking to them from the other side of the planet. Eric Hey Drew Gibson wrote: I've been asked to help configure an Asterisk system in Singapore. Never traveled that far east and outside of Canada I'm just a phone luser. Does anyone have any experience of configuring telephony there? SOHO like setup with 1 POTS line and either local ITSP or direct to one here in TO for calls to CDN buddies. VoIP phones inside, can I use a regular Digium TDM400P to connect outside? I found a brief reference to using loopstart for FXO's on voip-info.org and some notes on disconnect supervision, looks a bit different from Ma Bell's lines here. What's their Internet infrastructure like? Pretty good I would bet but what's the common technology? ADSL? Any pointers from you globe trotters out there would be much appreciated! regards, Drew - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [on-asterisk] CNAM - Caller ID Name
1. Why dynamic CNAM issue is a big deal? From a technical point of view it isn't usually a big deal at all. From a liability point of view it could be. Some larger carriers are worried about the implications if scam artists started setting their CNAM to things like TORONTO POLICE and started calling people fraudlently. My argument to the carriers has always been Well you let us set the number and nothing is stopping the scam artists from setting the number to match the number of the police, so whats the big deal? The usual answer I get is a confused look and a shrug of the shoulders. 2. Why does the Name info have to be dug out each time from a shared database (if its shared) based on the number (some carriers do this) by the carrier's lookup servers and then spit out to its subscribers? Well, in Canada it isn't done that way at all. The CNAM database method is how the CNAM info is looed up in the good old U S A. In the US carriers access a shard CNAM database and query the database for the CNAM for every call. In Canada we use a totally different method (described below) 3. Why can't the NAME be sent with the NUMBER info from one carrier to the other? In Canada it is The CNAM in Canada is passed from carrier to carrier as part of the messaging that take place when a call is initiated. 4. or Is transmitting NAME with the NUMBER simply a limitation on the switch the telcos carry? Most of the time if its not working its as a result of interoperability between varying switch types. If the trunks between carriers are SS7 then the CNAM will most certainly work properly. However must people using Asterisk don't have SS7, they have PRIs. The ISDN signalling between different switches expect CNAM to be passed in different ways. For example, a Nortel DMS (Bell Canada), expects the CNAM to be sent as part of the initial Q.931 call setup message. Lucent 5ESS switches (Telus, Rogers) expect it to be part of a subsequent progress message as a Facility IE. So, in order to get CNAM to work on your PRI, its important to know what method your carrier uses. I can tell you that Asterisk definately supports the Facility IE message because I was the one that initiated the feature request and did the testing for it back in April 2005. http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=4046 To enable CNAM by Facility IE set facilityenable=yes in zapata.conf. If you have SIP trunking, you are at the mercy of your carriers switch capabilites and their PSTN connectivity arrangments. Hope this helps clear things up for you !!!
