RE: [Asterisk-Users] SIP phone as intercom
Hello, all Sorry to correct you on this Matt, but I am currently doing this with the Polycom 600 phones. You need the latest version of both the SIP software and bootrom to do it, (and that stuff ain't easy to get) but it is workable. The latest version of software provides for distinctive ring tones just like the Cisco 7960's have. It also provides for auto answer. It's kind of tricky to do, but you can make your phones auto answer by setting the Alert-Info variable in asterisk and messing with the xml configuration files, sip.cfg and ipmid.cfg. In the sip.cfg file, look for the line with these variables: alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertinfo.1.value=Sales voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.class=8... In this real-world example, whenever I set ALERT_INFO to Sales in Asterisk, the Polycom matches on that word and calls up class 8 in ipmid.cfg. In ipmid.cfg, my class 8 line looks like this: SALES se.rt.8.name=Sales se.rt.8.type=ring se.rt.8.ringer=11 se.rt.8.callWait=6 se.rt.8.mod=0 se.rt.8.type=ring tells the Polycom phone which type of ring to use - which in this case is a regular ring and se.rt.8.ringer=11 tells the phone to ring with ringtone 11 with is the Triplet. I use this one for signaling a new incoming sales call to one of my three sales guys. The secretary transfers it to the sales department and their lines ring with the Triplet. I feel like Pavlov whenever I hear it. The other ring types are visual, answer and ring-answer. The one you want is ring-answer. Here's how I do it: Again in sip.cfg (actually part of the same line listed above) ...voIpProt.SIP.alertinfo.2.value=Ring Answer voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.class=4... and in ipmid.cfg (I just modified one of the existing ones to give me a High Double Trill ringtone) RING_ANSWER se.rt.4.name=Ring Answer se.rt.4.type=ring-answer se.rt.4.timeout=1000... se.rt.4.ringer=7... The se.rt.4.timeout=1000 tells the Polycom to ring for 1000 milliseconds (one second) and then answer. I call it in Asterisk by setting the ALERT_INFO variable to Ring Answer whenever anybody pushes 8 plus the extension. It rings in to the extension and voila, I'm on speaker! By the way, for all you BOFH out there, you could actually use this feature as a somewhat surreptitious eavesdropping device by using a silent ring and a visual type. The phone would answer without any indication except on the console. I haven't tried this myself and if you do this, I don't want to know about it...unless I'm in your office at the time. Good Luck! I was going to put this in the Wiki myself, but maybe somebody will give me a late Christmas present. --John Baker On Tue, 2003-12-30 at 19:08, mattf wrote: Hello, It's all dependant upon the firmware of the phone(nothing to do with the PBX or SIP currently).

My Advice would be to stick with intel processors (no flames please I know some of your love AMD's) becasue I have never heard of compatibility issues with Asterisk and Intel proc's and chipsets but I have heard some weird issues with VIA chipsets and AMD procs.. Also AFAIK you can't use the Athlon optimised kernel with Asterisk on an AMD which will probably mean you have to use the i386 kernel where on a P4/Xeon you can happily use the i686 kernel.. Not sure exactly what that means in terms of Asterisk performance but I will stay with the P4/Xeon. 3. I am also responsible for delivering inbound faxes to the DID numbers via Email.

This is the current method we use in my office. One super stable machine at the core that is rarely updated.

Thanks, MATT--- -Original Message- From: John Baker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 3:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] SIP phone as intercom Hello, all Sorry to correct you on this Matt, but I am currently doing this with the Polycom 600 phones. You need the latest version of both the SIP software and bootrom to do it, (and that stuff ain't easy to get) but it is workable. The latest version of software provides for distinctive ring tones just like the Cisco 7960's have. It also provides for auto answer. It's kind of tricky to do, but you can make your phones auto answer by setting the Alert-Info variable in asterisk and messing with the xml configuration files, sip.cfg and ipmid.cfg. In the sip.cfg file, look for the line with these variables: alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertinfo.1.value=Sales voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.class=8... In this real-world example, whenever I set ALERT_INFO to Sales in Asterisk, the Polycom matches on that word and calls up class 8 in ipmid.cfg. In ipmid.cfg, my class 8 line looks like this: SALES se.rt.8.name=Sales se.rt.8.type=ring se.rt.8.ringer=11 se.rt.8.callWait=6 se.rt.8.mod=0 se.rt.8.type=ring tells the Polycom phone which type of ring to use - which in this case is a regular ring and se.rt.8.ringer=11 tells the phone to ring with ringtone 11 with is the Triplet. I use this one for signaling a new incoming sales call to one of my three sales guys. The secretary transfers it to the sales department and their lines ring with the Triplet. I feel like Pavlov whenever I hear it. The other ring types are visual, answer and ring-answer. The one you want is ring-answer. Here's how I do it: Again in sip.cfg (actually part of the same line listed above) ...voIpProt.SIP.alertinfo.2.value=Ring Answer voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.class=4... and in ipmid.cfg (I just modified one of the existing ones to give me a High Double Trill ringtone) RING_ANSWER se.rt.4.name=Ring Answer se.rt.4.type=ring-answer se.rt.4.timeout=1000... se.rt.4.ringer=7... The se.rt.4.timeout=1000 tells the Polycom to ring for 1000 milliseconds (one second) and then answer. I call it in Asterisk by setting the ALERT_INFO variable to Ring Answer whenever anybody pushes 8 plus the extension. It rings in to the extension and voila, I'm on speaker! By the way, for all you BOFH out there, you could actually use this feature as a somewhat surreptitious eavesdropping device by using a silent ring and a visual type. The phone would answer without any indication except on the console. I haven't tried this myself and if you do this, I don't want to know about it...unless I'm in your office at the time. Good Luck! I was going to put this in the Wiki myself, but maybe somebody will give me a late Christmas present. --John Baker On Tue, 2003-12-30 at 19:08, mattf wrote: Hello, It's all dependant upon the firmware of the phone(nothing to do with the PBX or SIP currently).

Am I making the right decision? :) Sepcifically... 1. Are the SNOM 200 IP phones a good choice for standard users? Or should I consider Cisco? Price of the phone is not the important thing.. What is important is ease of use with minimal training and reliability! I'd be careful with assumptions on the Snom 200. I've been trying to properly define two extns on this phone (with visual indication as to which extn is ringing) and have not been successful as yet. Have an open problem with snom right now. Same issues with v2.02t and v2.03e. Not sure what the problem is as yet, but three symptoms are highly visible: a. when a second (or more) extn is defined to the second (or more) button, the phone goes into a loop involving Register, 100 Trying, and 407 Proxy Authentication Required. Generates 1,000's of never- ending packets. (Two different snom support people are trying to replicate the issue, and both have initially been finger-pointing towards asterisk. Too early to know where the issue is. All other SIP phones function as expected with multiple extns.) b. when multiple lines are defined (with Key Mapping as suggested by the snom folks), the LED's for those keys remain lite at all times. No way to know which extension is actually ringing. c. distinctive ringing on a per-extn basis is apparently broken. Hopefully will know more about these issues by the end of this week. As with many other SIP components, documentation is below industry standards. The phone works fine with a single extn definition. Given the business environment you're talking about, there is a very high probability your customers will want two or more lines per phone. Bottom line: no way to visually see which extn is ringing, and therefore no way to answer the phone with a prearranged business greating. I've had 100% solid success/luck using the C7960 v6.0 code with lots of not-so-common addon funtions that may have value-add implications in your proposed implementation. (My past 20-year experience working for a telephone company and full understanding of shared-tennat services, I'd have to go with the Cisco phones if the decision had to be made today.) I've used the snom 200 for the better part of two months with several versions of their software. Snom seems to have a software quality control issue. It's likely due to lacking a structured software test plan, but don't know that for sure. I'd also be careful with assumptions regarding plugging PC's into the RJ45 switch jack on the back of various phones. There seems to be several unusual symptoms that have appeared on this list and I'm not sure which are still open (verses knowledge/skill level to identify the root-cause and associated resolutions). Given the relatively small percentage of folks using the jack, the only valid assumption is don't count on it in production. 3. I am also responsible for delivering inbound faxes to the DID numbers via Email. I.E. customer has a document faxed to them and they get it in Email as a tiff. I'm considering using Hylfax with a Multitech DID capable modem, but other suggestions are welcomed! Be careful with fax assumptions in terms of routing analog fax calls through T1's and asterisk, etc. It's certainly doable; just don't make any assumptions before hand. (Read: may require some additional implementation and/or testing hours to obtain exactly what you want from reliability perspective.) 4. I have built some cost for support from Digium and/or other Asterisk experts into the budget. Does Digium have paid support plans? What about other consultants out there? Their web site mentions such support. However, since asterisk has not matured to the point of supporting stable software releases (etc), support from a high-availability business perspective will require more then a Digium support contract (i.e, no published 24x7 plan today). (There are several people lurking on this list that can offer remote support. A contract with service-level penalities is probably worthy of consideration.) I'm just trying to make sure that I cover all the bases. This is got to be a bulletproof solution, and I'm departing from my comfort level with Altigen to give Asterisk a run for the money. We've got TONS of Linux experience here, and comfort with customizing code, so I am happy with what Asterisk gives me.. What else should I be worried about? I'd strongly recommend implementing two asterisk boxes on site; one as a primary production box and the second as a hot-spare identical backup (or some such combination). Obviously, the hot-spare backup could also be used to

There seems to be several unusual symptoms that have appeared on this list and I'm not sure which are still open (verses knowledge/skill level to identify the root-cause and associated resolutions). Given the relatively small percentage of folks using the jack, the only valid assumption is don't count on it in production. 3. I am also responsible for delivering inbound faxes to the DID numbers via Email. I.E. customer has a document faxed to them and they get it in Email as a tiff. I'm considering using Hylfax with a Multitech DID capable modem, but other suggestions are welcomed! Be careful with fax assumptions in terms of routing analog fax calls through T1's and asterisk, etc. It's certainly doable; just don't make any assumptions before hand. (Read: may require some additional implementation and/or testing hours to obtain exactly what you want from reliability perspective.) 4. I have built some cost for support from Digium and/or other Asterisk experts into the budget. Does Digium have paid support plans? What about other consultants out there? Their web site mentions such support.
[Asterisk-Users] Current database abstraction effort ?
Dear all, I read across Asterisk's lists archives, and found out various discussions about how nice it would be to have a (SQL) database abstraction layer enabling the use of various SQL backends, for various purposes inside of Asterisk. As far as I see, there is no such thing yet, although there are various efforts (on CDR and voicemail, mostly) to use external databases. As I'm planning some work that will require external database support (in order to be fully dynamic and potentially shared by different Asterisk servers), I have to solve this issue first. It's definetly not a major issue, but before starting to work on it I'd like to know what the community has to say about it. I found a few references to the way the FreeRadius people did it, and I would probably make something similar, although there a a few things in their design that I would make otherwise. Finally, Asterisk uses the db1 library to store some local dynamic data. The db.h interface could be kept as-is and optionnally work with this new database backend for tasks that do not require full SQL syntax (although a there shall be a way to specify if the caller is expecting its data to be local or shared amongst servers). -- Nicolas Bougues Axialys Interactive ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] SIP phone as intercom
Wow! Thanks John for the detailed information. This is such an awesome system... and great support here, too. On Dec 31, 2003, at 12:07 AM, John Baker wrote: Hello, all Sorry to correct you on this Matt, but I am currently doing this with the Polycom 600 phones. You need the latest version of both the SIP software and bootrom to do it, (and that stuff ain't easy to get) but it is workable. The latest version of software provides for distinctive ring tones just like the Cisco 7960's have. It also provides for auto answer. It's kind of tricky to do, but you can make your phones auto answer by setting the Alert-Info variable in asterisk and messing with the xml configuration files, sip.cfg and ipmid.cfg. In the sip.cfg file, look for the line with these variables: alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertinfo.1.value=Sales voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.class=8... In this real-world example, whenever I set ALERT_INFO to Sales in Asterisk, the Polycom matches on that word and calls up class 8 in ipmid.cfg. In ipmid.cfg, my class 8 line looks like this: SALES se.rt.8.name=Sales se.rt.8.type=ring se.rt.8.ringer=11 se.rt.8.callWait=6 se.rt.8.mod=0 se.rt.8.type=ring tells the Polycom phone which type of ring to use - which in this case is a regular ring and se.rt.8.ringer=11 tells the phone to ring with ringtone 11 with is the Triplet. I use this one for signaling a new incoming sales call to one of my three sales guys. The secretary transfers it to the sales department and their lines ring with the Triplet. I feel like Pavlov whenever I hear it. The other ring types are visual, answer and ring-answer. The one you want is ring-answer. Here's how I do it: Again in sip.cfg (actually part of the same line listed above) ...voIpProt.SIP.alertinfo.2.value=Ring Answer voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.class=4... and in ipmid.cfg (I just modified one of the existing ones to give me a High Double Trill ringtone) RING_ANSWER se.rt.4.name=Ring Answer se.rt.4.type=ring-answer se.rt.4.timeout=1000... se.rt.4.ringer=7... The se.rt.4.timeout=1000 tells the Polycom to ring for 1000 milliseconds (one second) and then answer. I call it in Asterisk by setting the ALERT_INFO variable to Ring Answer whenever anybody pushes 8 plus the extension. It rings in to the extension and voila, I'm on speaker! By the way, for all you BOFH out there, you could actually use this feature as a somewhat surreptitious eavesdropping device by using a silent ring and a visual type. The phone would answer without any indication except on the console. I haven't tried this myself and if you do this, I don't want to know about it...unless I'm in your office at the time. Good Luck! I was going to put this in the Wiki myself, but maybe somebody will give me a late Christmas present. --John Baker On Tue, 2003-12-30 at 19:08, mattf wrote: Hello, It's all dependant upon the firmware of the phone(nothing to do with the PBX or SIP currently).

Quite frankly, I don't need a howto, I have it running on my Fedora core 1 system as well as my RH 9 system.

[Asterisk-Users] after hours - is this logic ok ?
Ok, first off, Asterisk is the coolest piece of software I have EVER had the pleasure of using in my 8 years of running linux !! and I know I haven't even scratched the surface feature wise. Before I get too excited, I wanted to get all you experts to look at the how I implemented my after hours test. The goal is to prevent the phone from ringing afer certain hours, just go to VM. Bacically, when a call comes from the PSTN, I use these includes to either set a key in the DB or not. include = day|8:00-21:00|mon-fri|*|* include = day|9:00-21:00|sat-sun|*|* ; if we're not open, we're closed include = night [day] exten = s,2,DBput(FEATURE/DAY=yes) exten = s,3,Goto(s,10) [night] exten = s,2,NoOp exten = s,3,Goto(s,10) And then in my stdexten macro, I test for the existence of the key in the database. If the key exists, it must be daytime so delete the key and allow the calls to ring the extension. If the key does not exist, it must be night and since we don't want the phones to ring we jump to the unavailable VM. I've tested this and it works as I expect but my only concern is how this would hold up in a busy environment where many calls are being processed. Could one asterisk thread delete the database key before another thread had gotton the oportunity to test for the key ? [macro-stdexten] exten = s,1,NoOp other testing crap deleted exten = s,10,DBget(foo=FEATURE/DAY); is it day time ? exten = s,11,DBdel(FEATURE/DAY); yes, delete the key exten = s,12,Goto(s,201) ; and ring the phone exten = s,111,Goto(s,204) ; no, goto uVM exten = s,201,answer exten = s,202,Playback(transfer,skip) exten = s,203,Dial(${ARG2},5) ; Ring the interface, 20 seconds maximum exten = s,204,Voicemail(u${ARG1}) ; If unavailable, send to voicemail w/ unavail announce exten = s,205,Playback(vm-goodbye) exten = s,206,Wait(1) exten = s,207,Hangup exten = s,304,Voicemail(b${ARG1}) ; If busy, send to voicemail w/ busy announce exten = s,305,Playback(vm-goodbye) exten = s,306,Wait(1) exten = s,307,Hangup -- .~. /V\Lance C.

[Asterisk-Users] Re: Grandstream Early Dial
I've just checked my voicemail with 1.0.4.30 and get the same multiple digits problem. sip.conf and GS config are both at info, for me this is a new problem voicemail has always worked perfectly with the GS. This has come up many times in this list, with no consensus for a solution. According to Grandstream, the multiple digit problem arises from a difference in the interpretation of the SIP standard. I'm not sure I really understand this, so no flames please, but, paraphrasing a conversation I had with GS, apparently they retransmit the digit as long as the key is pressed and expect asterisk to know that it is a re-transmission by examining other data in the packet. Asterisk does not handle the SIP packet in the way GS expects, resulting in multiple digit transmission. This flaw (?) is avoided by setting DTMF to INBAND. Why this behaviour is not repeatable on everyones installations escapes me. However, I have noticed one thing that may be a clue. I have one phone that is older hardware (redial button instead of send and an unused battery compartment on the bottom). This phone behaves differently than all the other, later, models. For example, it is the only phone on which the flash button actually works to answer the alternate line (eg when an incoming call waiting call arrives). All phones are using 3.81 firmware. Early dial has never worked for me, and I just upgraded to the 1.0.4.30 load yesterday. Now, I am having DTMF recognition issues, making it impossible to check my voice mail. This is an acknowleged bug on the GS. They have connected to my * server and acknowleged the problem. A fix has been promised but not yet delivered. Until then, the only solution is to turn early dial off and let the phone send the entire dial string in one packet. Since this does not affect later single digit transmission for IVR's, etc, the only consequence is the irritating delay between the last entered digit and the actual placing of the call. But, you can always hit the send key. Stephen R. Besch ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I am putting together a solution that will employ the Digium TE410P with one T1 going out the PSTN and the other front-ending a PBX.

I am assuming Asterisk can work with Apache (through AGI maybe) to dial the employee and then connect to the customer via info in the URL (or related through some sort of DB lookup).

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Programming an unlocked ADSI phone?
Update #3. Sayson tell me that this is likely a result of Comedian Mail not knowing anything about the phone's slots or lock codes, causing the download to fail. When I was programming the slots originally, I needed to change the following information in asterisk.: SECURITY _AST; Security code FDN 0x000f ; Descriptor number to information Sayson provided me for each of the slots (1 2 of 4 available). Slot 1 is activated by telephony events, and slot 2 is a self-loading slot that activates when the phone is idle for more than 1 second. I downloaded asterisk.adsi to each slot. Looking at app_voicemail.c there's clearly a lot of ADSI intelligence, ... but it's not clear to me how one configures Comedian Mail to know about a 'slot' Descriptor number and Security Code. -Darren -- Darren Nickerson Senior Sales Support Engineer iFAX Solutions, Inc. www.ifax.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1.215.438.4638 ext 8106 office +1.215.243.8335 fax - Original Message - From: Darren Nickerson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 11:01 AM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Programming an unlocked ADSI phone?

After looking a litter deeper in the code, it looks as though the Comedian Mail will only load in the 1st slot of your ADSI phone and the asterisk loads in the 2nd. Soif you delete the 1st slot that you had listed as Asterisk, then dial the 8500 extension it will hopefully work.

Tim, Thanks for your continued participation in this thread. The truth is, it's not clear to me how to delete a service ... the services menu only allows me to 'Select' or 'Quit'. It's also not clear to me how you managed to get Comedian Mail downloaded to Slot 1 without unlocking it with a code.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Web Dialer
I am putting together a solution that will employ the Digium TE410P with one T1 going out the PSTN and the other front-ending a PBX. The idea is that based on a URL, Asterisk will dial an employee behind the PBX. When the employee picks up, Asterisk will dial the customer (detailed in the URL). I am assuming Asterisk can work with Apache (through AGI maybe) to dial the employee and then connect to the customer via info in the URL (or related through some sort of DB lookup). Another requirement will be to record the phone call as well. You could do it through either the Asterisk manager interface or have a CGI scrip t in your web front end create an auto call file that dials the employee and runs a second Dial command upon answer. I have worked a bit with Asterisk and am very happy with what it can do -- and would prefer to stay with Asterisk. The question is, can Asterisk handle what my requirements are or would this better be served by Bayonne? Asterisk is better. Hands down. No questions. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

There are many people on this list that are more than happy to help you with a problem if you know how to ask the question. But if you've tried to keep up with this mailing list over any amount of time, you will see how quickly it becomes frustrating when people ask the same questions over and over again. Hence being pointed to the how-to's and the wiki. Do they answer every question? No. But they cover the most frequently asked. Do they answer the question exactly like you'd hope? Maybe not. It requires some thinking. There are two things you need to remember here. One, no one on this list gets paid to help you or anyone else with your problems. They do so because they choose to.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Happy New Year!!
Nope I should have been a bit more clear in my response.. but its one of those days The howto should be generalized... Not just for X or Y distro... its not helpful and cuses duplication of documentation efforts. I would tend to disagree with your statement that it is not helpful. Writing any HOWTO requires some effort on the author's part, and the effort does help a number of users. I agree with you that a HOWTO for Asterisk, for example, should be generalized so that it can be helpful to a wider audience. An existing HOWTO for a particular operating system can serve as a good basis for a general HOWTO. I hope that the previously named author does not interpret this as trivializing their contribution to the community because I'm sure many first-time Asterisk users are glad to find step-by-step instructions that cover such a readily available and widely-used flavor of Linux. -- Tony Kava Network Administrator Pottawattamie County, Iowa ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

RE: [Asterisk-Users] SIP phone as intercom
Sure, here's my extension for paging on the intercom: [ext-intercom-one]; exten = _87XXX,1,SetVar(ALERT_INFO=Ring Answer) exten = _87XXX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1},20,r) exten = _87XXX,103,Congestion exten = _87XXX,104,Congestion exten = t,1,Hangup Internally, I use a four digit extension here, starting with 7. When I preface it with 8, it calls this extension, which sets the ALERT_INFO variable and makes the phone work its auto-answer magic. If I dial my partner with 7002, for example, it'll ring normally, go to voicemail, etc. If I dial him with 87002, it beeps his office and his phone automatically answers. There's probably a better way to do this, but I've only had these phones for a couple of weeks. In answer to your other question about the bootrom, I think you need at least the 2.4.0 bootrom to run the latest SIP software with these features. I'm running 2.4.1. The SIP software version you must have to do this is 1.1.0. If you go to polycom's website and download the manual for these phones and the 1.1.0 release notes, you can find out how to do all sorts of tricks by manipulating the cfg files. (Sadly, you can only get the manuals from Polycom. You have to get the bootrom and software from your vendor) John Baker On Wed, 2003-12-31 at 08:24, mattf wrote: I've added it as a separate page: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Polycom+auto-answer+config linked from the Polycom phones page.

You need the latest version of both the SIP software and bootrom to do it, (and that stuff ain't easy to get) but it is workable. The latest version of software provides for distinctive ring tones just like the Cisco 7960's have. It also provides for auto answer. It's kind of tricky to do, but you can make your phones auto answer by setting the Alert-Info variable in asterisk and messing with the xml configuration files, sip.cfg and ipmid.cfg. In the sip.cfg file, look for the line with these variables: alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertinfo.1.value=Sales voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.class=8... In this real-world example, whenever I set ALERT_INFO to Sales in Asterisk, the Polycom matches on that word and calls up class 8 in ipmid.cfg. In ipmid.cfg, my class 8 line looks like this: SALES se.rt.8.name=Sales se.rt.8.type=ring se.rt.8.ringer=11 se.rt.8.callWait=6 se.rt.8.mod=0 se.rt.8.type=ring tells the Polycom phone which type of ring to use - which in this case is a regular ring and se.rt.8.ringer=11 tells the phone to ring with ringtone 11 with is the Triplet. I use this one for signaling a new incoming sales call to one of my three sales guys. The secretary transfers it to the sales department and their lines ring with the Triplet. I feel like Pavlov whenever I hear it. The other ring types are visual, answer and ring-answer. The one you want is ring-answer. Here's how I do it: Again in sip.cfg (actually part of the same line listed above) ...voIpProt.SIP.alertinfo.2.value=Ring Answer voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.class=4... and in ipmid.cfg (I just modified one of the existing ones to give me a High Double Trill ringtone) RING_ANSWER se.rt.4.name=Ring Answer se.rt.4.type=ring-answer se.rt.4.timeout=1000... se.rt.4.ringer=7... The se.rt.4.timeout=1000 tells the Polycom to ring for 1000 milliseconds (one second) and then answer. I call it in Asterisk by setting the ALERT_INFO variable to Ring Answer whenever anybody pushes 8 plus the extension. It rings in to the extension and voila, I'm on speaker! By the way, for all you BOFH out there, you could actually use this feature as a somewhat surreptitious eavesdropping device by using a silent ring and a visual type. The phone would answer without any indication except on the console. I haven't tried this myself and if you do this, I don't want to know about it...unless I'm in your office at the time. Good Luck!

Dear newbies, As a newcomer to woodworking, you will not be welcomed with open arms. First, you will find no documentation on how to make your completely custom ceiling-height cabinets perfectly the first time that your wife will appreciate. Second, if you ask any woodworker for assistance, you will be treated like a fool and your new cabinets will be set aflame and you will be instructed to experiment with your tool and learn your craft. This worthless waste of time will only develop you into a competent woodworker able to make anything you wish. You should go to the furniture store or ask an already competent person to take care of your cabinetry for you as you have neither the desire or intelligence. Lastly, your raw material is so bug-ridden, all your handiwork will prove fruitless. We should all leave it up to the experts. With a carpentry community so anti-n00b, don't expect your handbuilt cabinets to be fixed for free by other people with their own problems who have graciously given their time and knowledge to the rest of us. You might actually be expected to fix it yourself. Here's the deal: Asterisk is free. If we go with * we will save $50k. It does almost anything. I can make it open my garage door. My installation records all conversations and then archives them as timestamped stereo MP3s. Our VB windows application can dial out with a click. All for free. It's not done. We are not at v1.0. Mr Spencer is a busy guy. It might not solve 'your' problem. We contracted the AgentCallbackLogin Queue stuff. That part works great. If you want it modified or fixed, pay for it or do it yourself. If you change your own oil, do your own plumbing, have more that 3 computers at home, or have [EMAIL PROTECTED] running, you are either a do-it-yourselfer or a geek. Asterisk might be for you. On the other hand, if you can't change a lightbulb or don't know what a dipstick is and have lots of money, then pay someone for a phone system. But please stop whining. I have 3 kids.

There are many reliable Asterisk installations, some running hundreds of phones. It's easy to stop at a CVS version and build a very stable system. We have many happy customers running Asterisk. I certainly prefer it to my Cisco Call Manager installations. It's already a much better product than Call Manager. I have always been very well received in this group. The help has always been extraordinary. I had one problem with my Cisco phones that Cisco couldn't figure out in a week, someone here had the answer in a few minutes. Asterisk is a new product, but it obsoletes the legacy products. The documentation problem will disappear shortly as there will be a book about Asterisk for beginning users in January.

First, you will find no documentation on how to make your completely custom ceiling-height cabinets perfectly the first time that your wife will appreciate. Second, if you ask any woodworker for assistance, you will be treated like a fool and your new cabinets will be set aflame and you will be instructed to experiment with your tool and learn your craft. This worthless waste of time will only develop you into a competent woodworker able to make anything you wish. You should go to the furniture store or ask an already competent person to take care of your cabinetry for you as you have neither the desire or intelligence. Lastly, your raw material is so bug-ridden, all your handiwork will prove fruitless. We should all leave it up to the experts. With a carpentry community so anti-n00b, don't expect your handbuilt cabinets to be fixed for free by other people with their own problems who have graciously given their time and knowledge to the rest of us. You might actually be expected to fix it yourself. Certainly great!

As a new asterisk user myself, I would agree with you that the learning curve is steep, but that was my expectation coming into this. I took the time to browse the list archives before signing up so no surprises there. There are some real experts here and they obviously help those who ask interesting questions that aren't answered elsewhere. I would agree that this list would be better without the retarded flame wars, and furthermore, trolls the likes of you. If you don't want to read the information that's available, or if what you expect is total hand-holding - someone else to install and configure your phone system for you, then asterisk is a great choice but you need to hire someone to do that. Or you can go with a commercial phone system and pay thousands for a basic system with 1/10th the features. Regarding the stability problem you're having - clearly that's not the norm. I wouldn't suggest that anyone expect that behavior. I certainly haven't seen any crashes. On Dec 31, 2003, at 12:37 PM, Me wrote: As a newcomer to Asterisk, you will not be welcomed with open arms.

Starting from Linux, to SIP, H323, DSL technologies (PPP, PPPoE, PPPoA, DHCP, NAT), Call routing(Dial Plan), IVR, Transcoding, STUN are few areas that one would have to master even thinking about *. True one would know the syntax, and howtos etc, but also would have to have the ability to troubleshoot. For last two-three months in this list, I have not seen any newbi posting a sip trace (from a ethereal or a TCP dump) and asking a question about it. I have seen many question for instance, asking syntax of h.323 dial, but never seen a question asked on a h323 trace.

If you like it's features and would like it to run in a production environment try to get some professional help.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Happy New Year!!
First of all regarding my social ettiquette, it has nothing to do with my lack of it but more to do with my philosophy of chew them up, spit them out regardless of the venue they choose. I'll play on field, You lay it, I'll play it. As far as your thought of a generalized howto, it happens to be a pretty good idea. As far as your figuring most people should have gotten what you said, I guess you figured wrong again. The world doesn't always work quite the way we figure it in our little brains. Regarding you caring what others think, I think the mere fact of you responding to the first post and even this one speak for themselves. Other than the previously stated, you and I probably see the world much alike. I tell it how I see it, don't sugar coat, am very blunt and to the point; however even in doing so I try to consider the diversity of views and objectives. As far as what you do good for asterisk, keep up the good work. As far as how you interact with people, hell it might change as you go through different stages of life. By the way, Happy New Year to you Brian. AJ ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Also to add a bit to what I said earlier, the reason I thought RedHat / Fedora was a good howto was the mere fact that RedHat / Fedora has been known to present it's own distinct installation problems because of packages / pachage dependencies.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Grandstream Early Dial
I've never had early dial working, however, I resolved my multiple digit issue by simply putting both the GS phones and asterisk in INFO mode. This worked on both 10.0.3.81 firmware on the budgetone and the ATA286, as well as 10.0.4.30 firmware. I'm not saying I don't believe you, but doubelcheck your lines in asterisk to be dtmfmode=info and the gs devices are on SIP INFO method, and your DTMF Payload type is 101.

Besch Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 12:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Grandstream Early Dial I've just checked my voicemail with 1.0.4.30 and get the same multiple digits problem. sip.conf and GS config are both at info, for me this is a new problem voicemail has always worked perfectly with the GS. This has come up many times in this list, with no consensus for a solution. According to Grandstream, the multiple digit problem arises from a difference in the interpretation of the SIP standard. I'm not sure I really understand this, so no flames please, but, paraphrasing a conversation I had with GS, apparently they retransmit the digit as long as the key is pressed and expect asterisk to know that it is a re-transmission by examining other data in the packet. Asterisk does not handle the SIP packet in the way GS expects, resulting in multiple digit transmission. This flaw (?) is avoided by setting DTMF to INBAND. Why this behaviour is not repeatable on everyones installations escapes me. However, I have noticed one thing that may be a clue. I have one phone that is older hardware (redial button instead of send and an unused battery compartment on the bottom). This phone behaves differently than all the other, later, models. For example, it is the only phone on which the flash button actually works to answer the alternate line (eg when an incoming call waiting call arrives). All phones are using 3.81 firmware. Early dial has never worked for me, and I just upgraded to the 1.0.4.30 load yesterday. Now, I am having DTMF recognition issues, making it impossible to check my voice mail. This is an acknowleged bug on the GS. They have connected to my * server and acknowleged the problem. A fix has been promised but not yet delivered. Until then, the only solution is to turn early dial off and let the phone send the entire dial string in one packet. Since this does not affect later single digit transmission for IVR's, etc, the only consequence is the irritating delay between the last entered digit and the actual placing of the call. But, you can always hit the send key. Stephen R.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] New to asterisk? RUN... don't walk.
Well, since everyone else is top-quoting on this message, so will I :P I'm no veteran either. As a matter of fact, I have had ZERO prior knowledge to the telcom industry or more than 'user level' experience with telecommunications in general. I decided that I wanted to expand my knowledge, and actually LEARN a few things, so I jumped into asterisk. I was, and quite frankly, IMO, still AM a 'n00b' to *. However, after playing around, and learning what things do, by reading the documentation that IS there, searching the archives, and just trolling the list and IRC, I have learned more in the last 4-5 months of having * than a lot of people I've noticed have learned in a lifetime of experience.I now have a fully functional (well, minus MOH, because mpg123 isn't yet compiled on my new box), * implementation, serving myself and my roommates strictly over VoIP, and a couple ata's and a Internet PhoneJack card. I love it. And I'm STILL learning to this date. Asterisk is not something you can expect everyone to just drop what their doing and help you with. Sure, it can be frustrating, but if you are so dense that you can't sit down an play with it and learn what happens when you type something in the cli, or change a few things in your dialplan, then get out, I agree. If you liked taking apart mom's hairdryer as a kid and seeing how it worked, and then later on, rewired up a few things to do what you wanted them to, or even took a hex editor to command.com in msdos to change what it says to suit your taste (mucho guilty on that one.. lol), then you will have no problem finding out what you can and can't change simply by editing files, and trying things out. Take off your training wheels, and just TRY IT. - Josh R.

Com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] New to asterisk? RUN... don't walk. Hello, I am not a veteran here, but would like to share my thoughts on this subject. True, * is opensource and freely available, but it is not a computer program that you download and run. It is a very versatile telecommunication product you would otherwise pay at least 100 K to buy from a telecom vendor, if not more based on modules and usage, license hash-codes etc. Even to try * one would need some pre requisite knowledge in telecom, if not many years in the field. I work for a large telecom company and my specialty is voice over broadband (or xDSL). I worked with asterisk for couple of months now and I am amazed to see areas of telecom that * touch upon with. Starting from Linux, to SIP, H323, DSL technologies (PPP, PPPoE, PPPoA, DHCP, NAT), Call routing(Dial Plan), IVR, Transcoding, STUN are few areas that one would have to master even thinking about *. True one would know the syntax, and howtos etc, but also would have to have the ability to troubleshoot. For last two-three months in this list, I have not seen any newbi posting a sip trace (from a ethereal or a TCP dump) and asking a question about it. I have seen many question for instance, asking syntax of h.323 dial, but never seen a question asked on a h323 trace. I think, having * openly available is like keeping an airplane openly available in a airfield, so that anybody can try flying. Tell me how many of us would go try and fly that airplane if we do not know how to fly :) Point that I want to make here is simple, please try to understand what * is all about. If you like it's features and would like it to run in a production environment try to get some professional help. If you are learning these technologies for fun then get educated, use tools available to troubleshoot. Hooking up couple of phones and making a call is far from knowing *. Asterisk is a great product (thanks Mark and many others) and if you know what you are doing, you can do wonders with it. Don't put it down, because you do not have the background to understand it or work with it.

Second, if you try to ask questions, you will be flamed and pointed to worthless how-tos and 'the wiki'. These worthless documents can only be useful for explaining how things work to those already in-the-know. Lastly, Asterisk is so bug ridden, expect frequent segmentation faults.

It has been mentioned here before that you can pick up a device that accepts a PRI and will do your fax reception for you. If you get one of those and hook it to a empty port of the TE410P then it will be better as you could accept several faxes at once. (Disclaimer: I work for a company that sells something exactly like Steven is recommended) HylaFAX with an EICON Diva Server or Brooktrout TR1043 T1/PRI fax board would seem to fit the bill nicely. They're available in various port densities, depending upon the inbound fax volume you anticipate. If you go the MultiModemDID route, make sure you understand the exact nature of the analog DID line that device requires, and understand that this will limit you to a concurrency of only one incoming fax per modem.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Programming an unlocked ADSI phone?
Hi Darren (and anyone interested in this issue), Just an FYI that the factory reset procedure that wipes out the programming in these phones is different for the 390 than the 480 phone. If any of you need this procedure, or information on ADSI programming or the 390/480 phones in general for this market (Asterisk), please feel free to contact me directly (Sorry but I rarely have the chance to keep up with the discussions here). Anyway, I'm off home now. I wish you all a wonderful New Year!
