[asterisk-users] multiple iax users on the same host

2007-10-03 Thread nik600
Hi

i'm setting up a hylafax server, using iaxmodem to talk with asterisk
(asterisk and hylafax are both on the same lan).

Can i setup on the same host (Hylafax) multiple iax accounts ? (each
account is used by a iaxmodem instance).

The account can be on the same port or should i change the port for
each iax account?

Thanks

Re: [asterisk-users] Secondary Dialtone and selecting a specific line from Zap/g

No, ignorepat is for FXS ports (FXS ports use FXO
signaling).  Also, 
ignorepat does not apply to SIP phones, because SIP
phones provide
 their 
own dialtone, not a dialtone provided by Asterisk.

 Just assign a key on your phone to dial that

 I know that the latter will allow you to do things like set counting

 more direct route to calling the party. (and if need be, there is the
 ability in queues to run a script on connection iirc).

I'm migrating to Local/number@context right now (from Agent/ channels), and 
it seems to me that Local channels doesn't show (busy) in show queues. This 
will probably require for me to do some overhead work for correctly 
displaying agent status in monitoring software, but i think i will be able to 
do it by combining core show channels with show queues. 

I'm not sure is it related to Agent channels that could accept only one call 
or SIP channel status. I would expect queue to show even Local channel as 
busy if there is active call trough it. I think this really can't be 
accomplished by dialplan logics, as dialplan is not executed upon show 
queues

I believe that using the Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED] format will give you a bit 
more  
flexibility in the dialplan design, as there is an added degree of  
indirection. In the end I think this is only marginally costier than the  
raw channel format (unless you use the /n option) and should provide for  
a better laid-out dialplan.

Yes, but it can't be done. In order to allow each conference participant
to hear all the others at once, it is necessary to mix the audio by adding
the contents of each channel. It is impossible to mix G.729 compressed
because there is not a simple mathematical relationship between the output
data and multiple input data.

The mathematical way to do it would be what you are trying to avoid:
convert each incoming stream to signed linear samples, then perform the
mixing by adding those samples together, and then convert the outgoing
mixed stream back to G.729 or whatever.

This is what Asterisk does with any kind of codec that talks to Meetme,
whether it be uLaw, ALaw, GSM, G.729, ILBC, and it doesn't need all
participants to be using the same codec.

Why were you so set on mixing G.729 without decoding/encoding?

Cheers
Tony

Ummm, why??  Unless you can explain some technical reason for this,
looks like about 11 lines to change, +3 for correct log messages, +1 for
a define, +~3 to add it as a nice config option in meetme.conf.

So, in all about... 18 lines worth of code to get it running on any
available codec, configurable from meetme.conf, which IMHO would make a
lot of sense for single-codec systems... especially for G.729 due to
better use of licenses, but for others too, due to load reduction and
improved audio quality...

Of course, I could be missing something obvious, please correct me if
that's the case.

[asterisk-users] app_read prematurely bridges channels

2007-10-03 Thread Peter Fern
Hi list,

Running Asterisk 1.4.10:

When using the M() option for Dial to execute a macro, then executing a
Read within the macro, once streaming of the audio file specified in
Read has completed, and the channel attempts to read input from the
destination channel where the macro is executed, the source channel
stops ringing/moh, and audio from the source is bridged into the
destination.

I have tried various options to the Read application, but none have
altered the results. An example of the behaviour:

Calling party on channel SIP/YYY dials XXX, hits dialplan:

exten = XXX,1,Dial(SIP/ZZZ,,mM(mymacro))

Macro looks something like:

[macro-mymacro]
exten = s,1,Playback(somefile)  ;This plays fine on channel SIP/ZZZ
exten = s,n,Read(somevar,audioprompt)  ;audioprompt plays fine,
then immediately after playing the prompt, channel SIP/ZZZ starts
hearing audio data from SIP/YYY, moh stops on SIP/YYY, however no audio
from SIP/ZZZ is sent to SIP/YYY until the macro exits
exten = s,n,Playback(someotherfile)  ;This and subsequent audio
from the macro is not heard on either channel

Once the macro finishes, audio is passed between the two channels as
expected, however there is obviously something very wrong happening in
app_read for the channel to be what appears to be partially bridged
before the macro completes, though I can't see what it is.  I thought it
might be answering the chan, but the 'n' option to Read should skip
around this, and has no effect.

I've searched the bugtracker to no avail, full debug gives no useful
data that I can see - is this a known bug, and does anyone have a
workaround?

Regards,
Peter Fern

Not exactly.
Here are the facts:
meetme mixes in SLIN.
Any data arriving in anything other than slin will get transcoded  
twice,
once on the way in and again on the way out.

Now some opinions:
The more efficient the compression of the codec, the less well it  
copes with
decoding and re-encoding. Ulaw and Alaw are simple and not that  
efficient,
but you don't lose any more by re-encoding than you did by decoding  
in the first place.
Tighter codecs like 729 and GSM you will definitely hear the  
difference.


Theory:
If you have a conference where there is only _ever_ one speaker
at a time, you could (in theory) optimize meetme to do without  
mixing, and if all
the participants were using the same codec, you could get away with  
not re-encoding
by sending out the appropriate incomming packet to all (other) members.
I'm guessing that isn't the case for you.

Advice:
use Ulaw - it's a decent tradeoff for this sort of thing.

Tim.

What version of Asterisk is this and what is your hardware?  I am 
assuming it is POTS.

 I am thankful to see the amount of fixes that have gone into this
 release. However, seeing this many fixes does not give me a warm fuzzy
 feeling that we won't see a lot more fixes in the near future. So are
 bug fixes good or bad? ;-) And more importantly, will any of the
 remaining bugs bite me? 

 Branch 1.4 has one important to us feature that 1.2 does not and that is
 the queue autofill option. Because of this one feature, I have been
 wanting to switch to the 1.4 branch for some time. We have a backup
 system that I will be using for testing. If all goes well, we will move
 to the 1.4 branch. I hope many others are doing the same so the
 stability of 1.4 can be improved to the point where no one is concerned.


 Thanks to all the developers for improving an already great product!

[asterisk-users] Resolving digit strings using pound/hash.

2007-10-03 Thread William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-722-7209
Hi all,

  The thing that has bugged me about Asterisk since I first started 
playing with it, is the fact that the pound sign/hash/octothorp doesn't 
resolve digit conflicts or cancel timing on a variable length string such 
as a tie line code or when you call numbers in a country whose length can 
be different between numbers in the same plan.  In North America, we see 
this when calling places such as Germany.  Thanks to Atis, this now seems 
to work properly in DISA fixed via bug 10754.  Can we please have this 
effect expanded to cover all cases where Asterisk collects digits such as 
dialing into an IVR, zap FXS channel, and everywhere else.

   Thanks.

Hi,

Can you pinpoint (with examples) where it is not that way? From my experience 
this is already working nearly everywhere. At least it's for Read's and 
incoming calls.

Atis

 So, in all about... 18 lines worth of code to get it running on any

 better use of licenses, but for others too, due to load reduction and
 improved audio quality...

 Of course, I could be missing something obvious, please correct me if
 that's the case.

I invite you to try it.  You could make a lot of really smart people look like
fools if you're able to mix compressed audio together without decompressing,
or you might make yourself look like a fool, because you get back garbage for
attempting to mix compressed data.

While I won't go so far as to say mixing compressed audio is impossible
without decompressing first, it is not *simple* by any means whatsoever.  In
fact, I would go so far as to say that not only are you likely to degrade the
audio even further, but the CPU time it would take is an order of magnitude
higher than the current methodology.

I wrote an automated dialplan generator so much of *our* systems had the

I prefer pascal syntax personally, so we use a pascal based AGI/FastAGI

In the end, it probably comes down to preference and need, I would

 Hello!

 I have been trying upgrade zaptel from 1.2.10 to 1.2.20.1. I am using
 asterisk 1.2.10 with one TDM2400P (all 6 module in use) and one
 TE405P. When I upgrade to 1.2.20.1 the order of cards mess up and
 therefore zaptel.conf is unusable and gives error. Why is it happen
 and what do I need to change in zaptel.conf?

 now zaptel.conf is:
 loadzone=hu
 defaultzone=hu
 # GSM
 fxsks=1-4
 # FAX
 fxoks=5-8
 # EXT
 fxoks=9-24
 # PRI
 span=2,1,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
 bchan=25-39
 dchan=40
 bchan=41-55

 zttool shows that my TDM is the first device and T4XXP is from second
 to fifth. Nice. After zaptel upgrade TDM is on the fifth position. And
 channels in zaptel.conf were messed up of course because 1-24 is not
 for TDM.
   
Was there also a change in the kernel ?
   
In the value of MODULES in /etc/{sysconfig,default}/zaptel ?
   Thanks for your answer. Same kernel (2.6.11) and no change in zaptel:
  
   MODULES=$MODULES wct4xxp  # TE405P - Quad Span T1/E1 Card (5v 
   version)
   MODULES=$MODULES wctdm24xxp   # TDM2400P - Modular FXS/FXO interface
   (1-24 ports)
  
   Might MODULES order count? If so why that wasn't count with zaptel 1.2.10?
 
  It counts if the modules weren't loaded earlier on boot time, and if you
  use the proper init.d script.
 I see. I've been using the init.d script from release which I think
 proper. Is it means there is logical difference between 1.2.10 and
 1.2.20.1 on init.d script level? Because 1.2.10 is working flawless
 with this MODULES setup.

Are you sure you use zaptel.init from 1.2.20.1 ?

I really don't think you can guarantee that the MODULES list will
triumph any automalic load the system has on startup (which is why
Astribank drivers won't auto-register by default). 

I can't think of any change that should have affected the modules
loading order by default. Unless this is some timing issue - a race
between automatic loading and manual loading.

Wouldnt that take a very large portion of datapower, to startup the parsers and 
such, instead of having the whole dialplan natively in Asterisk.

We always try to do as much as possible in dialplan, so that we are not reliant

Re: [asterisk-users] Zaptel slow dial out - TDM400P

2007-10-03 Thread Ken Williams
So, I updated to 1.4.12 last night and it appears my problem is mostly
gone now.  Not sure what the difference was, but it now takes about 3
seconds before the ZAP line picks it up.  I was on 1.4.10.1 before that,
and yes POTS.  Removing the echo cancellation at this point makes no
difference, not sure if it would've pre-.12.  
 
I'm leaving the 'r' in the dial statement as 3 seconds is kind of an
awkward amount of time for a dialtone after you hit dial, but I could
remove it and it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Below is a copy of my log, zapata.conf  extensions.conf that relate to
the ZAP lines.  Basically when we dial out it takes on 10-12 seconds
before the ZAP line actaully picks up.  I'm hoping to find out what the
cause is for this as it's causing user grief with extremely long connect
times, and I believe it may be causing issues of cross lines (an
outgoing call gets mixed with an incoming call, both ending up on the
same line).  Incoming calls are processed fairly quickly, about 3
seconds which is perfectly acceptable.

[asterisk-users] Configuration files inside SQLite3

2007-10-03 Thread GNUbie
Hello all,

Is it possible to store, read and write configuration files in an SQLite3
database instead of using the configuration files inside the /etc/asterisk/
directory?  If it is then can you point me to the right documentation on how
to do this or probably hints on how to do this?

Thank you in advance.

Re: [asterisk-users] Secondary Dialtone and selecting a specific line from Zap/g

2007-10-03 Thread Eric \ManxPower\ Wieling
I can't help you with that.  I only wanted to point out that ignoreopat 
is not what you need.

On Polycom SIP phones you continue dialtone by placing a , in the 
phone's dialplan.  SIP phones have their own internal dialplan that is 
not part of Asterisk's dialplan.  You would have to check the docs for 
your phone.  Not all SIP phones can continue dialtone.

  TE405P. When I upgrade to 1.2.20.1 the order of cards mess up and

  zttool shows that my TDM is the first device and T4XXP is from 
  second
  to fifth. Nice. After zaptel upgrade TDM is on the fifth position. 
  And
  channels in zaptel.conf were messed up of course because 1-24 is not
  for TDM.

 Was there also a change in the kernel ?

 In the value of MODULES in /etc/{sysconfig,default}/zaptel ?
Thanks for your answer. Same kernel (2.6.11) and no change in zaptel:
   
MODULES=$MODULES wct4xxp  # TE405P - Quad Span T1/E1 Card (5v 
version)
MODULES=$MODULES wctdm24xxp   # TDM2400P - Modular FXS/FXO interface
(1-24 ports)
   
Might MODULES order count? If so why that wasn't count with zaptel 
1.2.10?
  
   It counts if the modules weren't loaded earlier on boot time, and if you
   use the proper init.d script.
  I see. I've been using the init.d script from release which I think
  proper. Is it means there is logical difference between 1.2.10 and
  1.2.20.1 on init.d script level? Because 1.2.10 is working flawless
  with this MODULES setup.
 Are you sure you use zaptel.init from 1.2.20.1 ?
I am absolutely sure because I had to copy with my own hands.

 I really don't think you can guarantee that the MODULES list will
 triumph any automalic load the system has on startup (which is why
 Astribank drivers won't auto-register by default).

 I can't think of any change that should have affected the modules
 loading order by default. Unless this is some timing issue - a race
 between automatic loading and manual loading.
I will try with MODULES in right order and report the result. I think
there must be difference between two init.d script because of
different effect.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk Keep Loosing Registration

2007-10-03 Thread Nitesh Divecha
Hello All,

For some odd reasons my Asterisk is keep on loosing registration of my 
SIP devices. On the SIP device it shows I am RESISTED but when I do sip 
show peers it shows my sip endpoints are UNREACHABLE. And it keeps on 
flapping Peer '903456' is now UNREACHABLE! and Peer '903456' 
is now REACHABLE!...

I changed my maxexpiry and defaultexpiry to 3600 in sip.conf but still 
it didn't help.

I am using Asterisk 1.2.18 with Real-Time config.

Any help will be appreciated...

Re: [asterisk-users] meetme conference using g729?

2007-10-03 Thread Wai Wu
I have been following this discussion. You do have a point. However, the
way * works right now. If a channel does not require trans-coding to get
into a conference, coder usage is counted. So I really do not know what
difference putting the transcoding in meetme is going to make. I mean,
how could this better contribute to better use of G729 licenses.

So, in all about... 18 lines worth of code to get it running on any

better use of licenses, but for others too, due to load reduction and
improved audio quality...

Of course, I could be missing something obvious, please correct me if
that's the case.

Not exactly.
Here are the facts:
meetme mixes in SLIN.
Any data arriving in anything other than slin will get
transcoded twice,
once on the way in and again on the way out.

Now some opinions:
The more efficient the compression of the codec, the less well
it copes with
decoding and re-encoding. Ulaw and Alaw are simple and not that
efficient,
but you don't lose any more by re-encoding than you did by
decoding in the first place.
Tighter codecs like 729 and GSM you will definitely hear the
difference.


Theory:
If you have a conference where there is only _ever_ one speaker
at a time, you could (in theory) optimize meetme to do without
mixing, and if all
the participants were using the same codec, you could get away
with not re-encoding
by sending out the appropriate incomming packet to all (other)
members.
I'm guessing that isn't the case for you.

Advice:
use Ulaw - it's a decent tradeoff for this sort of thing.

 Hi All

 I have a problem that is affecting 3 of our Asterisk sites and have 
 tried all possible to rectify this if anyone can shed some light on this?

 We have constant LAGGED, SIP extensions. The extensions will lagg in 
 groups of 2 - 20 phones at a time and will recover very shortly after.

 We have tried so far:

 * Setting all phones (Snom and Polycom) to forced full 100M full 
 duplex and forced all ports on the switches (HP and Cisco) to 100M 
 full duplex.

 * Setting up QOS on all UPD ports and traffic.

 * Tried a number of Asterisk releases (1.2.20 -1.2.24) as I read about 
 a bug on the UDP port of SIP.

 This does seem like a network issue but we have tried all possible 
 solutions on the network side and I must now look at Asterisk.

 Below is a typical output that will show on our CLI and log files:

 Oct 2 18:57:49 NOTICE[9751] chan_sip.c: Peer '2177' is now TOO LAGGED! 
 (2037ms / 2000ms)

 Oct 2 18:57:49 NOTICE[9751] chan_sip.c: Peer '2184' is now TOO LAGGED! 
 (2041ms / 2000ms)

 

 Can you ping the phones from your Asterisk box? Keep pinging and when 
 you get the lagged message and see if it indeed a network isssue.

 Thanks,
 Steve Totaro

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Keep Loosing Registration

2007-10-03 Thread Alex Balashov

Hi Nitesh,

The reachable/unreachable determination is not connected to registration 
expiry parameters in any way.

There is a qualify= parameter (that has a default value, and I think it 
may be on by default) that is associated with all SIP peers.  It is
basically a way to say that the SIP peer should be pinged periodically
(with a blank SIP OPTIONS message that returns some sort of response from
the other end) and that if the round-trip latency on that transaction
exceeds whatever number of milliseconds, the host should be deemed 
'unreachable' until the next ping is attempted and the RTL moves back into
qualified territory.  This is the parameter to qualify, e.g. qualify=2000
means declare the host unreachable if its round-trip latency through SIP
ping exceeds 2000 ms.

I generally find the behaviour of this facility to be rather spurious
with end-user phones and prone to false alarms, for whatever reason.
So, I either give it a really high value, or say qualify=no.

Best of luck,

-- Alex

Re: [asterisk-users] Secondary Dialtone and selecting a specific line from Zap/g

2007-10-03 Thread Walt Joyce
For another tone frequency for the outside dialtone, try putting this
value [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL 
PROTECTED];*(.4/0/1),10(*/0/2+3) in the Outside 
Dialtone field. It will give you a slight pause followed by a different
dialtone frequency. On a Linksys/Siprua 941, that would be at the top
of the Regional page.

However, you won't hear any secondary dialtone unless you put a comma
after EVERY initial '9' in the dialplan string for each line in use.
On a 941, that would be at the bottom of the Ext 1 and Ext 2 pages of 
the web interface. I suggest the dialplan string of:
(*xx|[1-7]xx|9,[3469]11|98|99|9,[2-9]xx|9,11|9,[2-9]xx|9,1[2-9]xx[2-9]xx|9,011xxx.)

 Below is a copy of my log, zapata.conf  extensions.conf that relate 
 to the ZAP lines.  Basically when we dial out it takes on 10-12 
 seconds before the ZAP line actaully picks up.  I'm hoping to find out 
 what the cause is for this as it's causing user grief with extremely 
 long connect times, and I believe it may be causing issues of cross 
 lines (an outgoing call gets mixed with an incoming call, both ending 
 up on the same line).  Incoming calls are processed fairly quickly, 
 about 3 seconds which is perfectly acceptable.

[asterisk-users] Best config for 12 FXO system?

2007-10-03 Thread Tony Mountifield
I have a client who wants a Meetme box with 12 FXO ports, to connect
to Analogue lines coming from an Ericsson PBX.

It looks like I could do this with four different hardware configurations:

a) three TDM04B cards (based on TDM400P)
b) one TDM04B and one TDM808B
c) one TDM804B (or TDM854B?) and one TDP808B
d) one TDM2403B (half filled TDM2400P)

Apart from considerations of cost and PCI slot availability, are there any
technical reasons to choose one of the above configurations over the others?

Cheers

[asterisk-users] Parking lot problems

2007-10-03 Thread Ken Williams
Now on to another problem that we've had as far as I know since the
beginning of using Asterisk 9+ months ago.  I've been trying very hard
to knock this problem out but regardless of what I do, it's still there.
 
So, the problem is, when a call is in the parking lot, it then times out
after whatever time frame and dials the extension that put it on hold.
After 60 seconds of ringing back, it's supposed to go to [park-dial] t
extension as far as I can tell, which it actually does seem to do.
However, before the t extension kicks in, the line is dropped with the
following error message on the CLI:
 
[Oct  3 08:45:31] WARNING[12621]: channel.c:2616 ast_indicate_data:
Unable to handle indication 3 for 'SIP/727-095c0348'
[Oct  3 08:46:31] WARNING[11487]: chan_sip.c:12037

[Oct  3 08:46:31] NOTICE[12621]: cdr.c:434 ast_cdr_free: CDR on channel

  == Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:0/1/0)
  == Auto fallthrough, channel 'SIP/727-095c0348' status is 'CONGESTION'
[Oct  3 08:46:31] WARNING[12621]: channel.c:2616 ast_indicate_data:

[Oct  3 08:46:31] WARNING[11487]: chan_sip.c:12536 handle_response:
Remote host can't match request CANCEL to call
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Giving up.
 
So the line hangs up, these errors are displayed, then I see the 't'
extension kick in.  Notice this is all on the same network, SIP devices
only, no NAT or anything like that.  I was initially testing on a
ZAP/SIP configuration, had the same type of errors and thought to reduce
complexity I'd keep it all SIP.  I've tried canreinvite=yes and no on
the SIP devices, neither made a difference.
 
So, before I go the bug route I'd like someone to just verify my
configuration files make sure I'm not doing something stupid.

It is possible to store configuration files in any relational database

If you're looking for an overview of the Asterisk Realtime Architecture

If the Ericsson PBX has a T1 card already and you have one in your 
asterisk box, that would be the cleanest way of acheiving what you 
want.  You could also use a channel bank with the analog and convert to 
T1 for the Asterisk connection.

I try to use T1 (PRI if possible) whenever more than four analog trunks 
will be involved.  I have had tons of bad experiences with analog cards, 
very few with ISDN.

No idea, but if you look further afield, if you buy a Sangoma A200 or an
A400 you can have all 12 on one PCI (or PCI Express) slot (the former
taking up 3 Spaces on your PCs backplane and the latter taking up only 1).

If expandability is a concern, an A400 can support up to 48 FXO ports on
one PCI (or PCI-Express) Slot (4 spaces) or an A200 can support up to 24
FXO ports. (6 spaces)

I can't comment on how good they are, I've only got TDM400Ps myself.

Those are all analog though, aren't they? What about a channel bank into

None are great options.   I'd use a T1 card and a channel bank.  

At minimum I'd do the single 2400P.   IRQ problems are going to be a

Re: [asterisk-users] extensions.conf vs. AEL

  AEL converted into standard extensions.conf syntax in the dialplan.
 

 Doesn't this render having used AEL pointless?
 

Absolutely not! 

Reasons to use AEL:

1. Several semantic checks are done on the AEL that are NOT done if you
go straight to extensions.conf. We try to protect you... from yourself.

2. At least one security issue in USAGE is avoided by having AEL compile
the corresponding code; as to how many more issues will automatically be
handled via
AEL in the future, is impossible to say. We'll see. If you keep coding
via
extensions.conf, be prepared to make corrections... if you do it in AEL,
a restart of Asterisk will hopefully suffice, after AEL is updated.

3. Syntax errors are reported by AEL. It is pretty good at catching all
omissions
and commissions. Better than the extensions.conf parser is. For example,
I don't
know if we catch it now, but if you accidentally say extem = 3,...
instead of 
exten = 3,... in extensions.conf, that line will silently be dropped.
Sure, we
could fix this, but to fix ALL possible problems will require an
expensive rewrite of the config file parser, from the ground up.

4. You are insulated against any mods to extensions.conf; like the
change to ',' instead of '|' in app arguments. No changes to AEL code
are necessary.

5. In extensions.conf, you have to feed your dialplan to asterisk to
find any problems. AEL provides the standalone parser, aelparse, so you
can correct any problems BEFORE feeding it to a living asterisk.

6. AEL is easier to read, IF you take advantage of the ability to use
tabs, etc. wisely. Especially for nested code. Staying away from goto as
much as possible,
and using the flow of control and looping statements will make your code
easier to read, compose, and maintain in the future. It means fewer bugs
in your code,
and overall this all means lower cost. And higher profits.

7. Repetitious entry of extenname, priority,  in your tabular
extensions.conf can lead to subtle errors that could be hard to find,
ESPECIALLY if you resort to using priority NUMBERS instead of n. And,
if you ARE so foolish as to use just raw numbers, and you have to insert
or delete a line or two, you have to renumber
the remaining lines, and heaven help you if you make a simple error, and
accidentally skip a number.

8. Work flow. Since aelparse allows you to dump the compiled dialplan in
extensions.conf format, you can still use stuff like realtime. You can
use this output against machines that don't even have pbx_ael loaded,
then, and you should be able to use 1.4 compiled dialplans on 1.2
machines, as long as you are careful about what apps you call, and how
you call them.

9. Easier to write code. Good Code. using Goto's in extensions.conf will
allow you to do anything you need to do, but it also results in
spaghetti style code.
While the original author might be able to decrypt it, and  maintain it,
unless it's really well commented, the next guy to play with it, is
going to have a hard time. Following the flow of control thru spaghetti
can get your adrenalin flowing-- and side affects from strange cases and
leakage in the spaghetti can make some devilishly hard to solve
problems.

Think of and treat extensions.conf like assembly code.

Think of and treat AEL like a high(er) level language. For those who
never did the computer science thing, I have just one piece of advise,
and ignore this at your peril: your dialplan is a work of computer
programming. It's software. If you don't treat it that way, and use good
software methodologies, you'll pay your price.

It might well be, but try as I might, I can't find a channel bank that
supports 12 FXO ports that would be less than an A400 with 6x2 FXO cards
(£490 the first place I looked, with only software echo cancellation or
£644 with HW-EC).

Or as the above poster mentioned a Rhino card (would be much cheaper
than sangoma if you required 24 ports and Hardware Echo cancellation).

[asterisk-users] No audio on Zap (T1/PRI) channels

2007-10-03 Thread Steve Edwards
I have 12 T1's going into 3 servers, 4 in each into Digium, Inc. Wildcard 
TE410P Quad-Span togglable E1/T1/J1 card 3.3v (rev 02) cards.

Each group of T1's have the primary D on 24 and the secondary D on 96.

The first server (ts20) and the last server (ts22) can playback 
demo-congrats fine. The middle server (ts21) cannot -- just dead air.

If I call via ZAP, dead air. If I call via IAX, I hear the file.

I copied /etc/zaptel.conf, /etc/asterisk/*, 
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/demo-congrats.gsm from ts20 to ts21 -- no joy.

I have seen this in my system log file:

[asterisk-users] How to get asterisk to take a dump?

2007-10-03 Thread Steve Edwards
I have an asterisk process that is consuming over 100mb (according to 
top). Show channels says 167 active channels and 53 active calls.

It's an old install -- 1.2.7.1, but it has custom code that needs to be 
updated before moving to a more recent release.

I'm assuming that 100mb is indicative of a memory leak (probably in my 
code).

How can I get a dump (preferably without disrupting production) so I can 
poke around in it (using gdb) and what's a good strategy for finding 
memory leaks?

Thanks in advance,

 Thanks in advance,

I think, there's no way you can get a coredump without interrupting process.

However you can do killall -5 asterisk. That would send a Trace/Breakpoint 
signal to asterisk and it would crash immediately to core - so you can play 
with it in gdb.

Double check both zaptel.conf and zapata.conf and also call the telco to 
make sure they have they have the same NFAS scheme on all T1s setup 
correctly.  Sometimes (let's face it, alot of times, the provider messes 
something up).

Also check that all of your T1 cables are plugged into the correct T1 
port.  I have made that mistake myself when doing 28 T1s off a T3.  I 
got dead air just as you described.

[asterisk-users] Executing commands even if user hangs up.

2007-10-03 Thread Jim Canfield
Greetings,

I have a dialplan that calls the dictate application, but I want to do 
some post-processing on the RAW file created.  The post processing is 
working fine as long as the dictation application exits gracefully, but 
fails when the user simply hangs up.

How can I make sure the system() command is run regardless?

Example:

[test-dictation]
exten = 123,1,Dictate(/tmp/dictate)
exten = 123,2,System(post_processing_script.sh)
exten = 123,3,Wait,1
exten = 123,4,Hangup

Thanks

That does not look like PRI Debug output to me, just console verbose.

 From experience, I would say you crossed a couple of cables.  Make sure 
you double check them and then LABEL them.

If you find that is not the solution, call your provider.

If you're always running your post processing script after the call is 
over, I'd suggest moving the System command to the h extension. The h 
extension is called on hangup, so it should clear up your issue.

Have you tried adding an 'h' extension in addition? If the caller hangs 
up in the middle of priority 1 of extension 123, it should then jump to 
priority 1 of extension h and continue.

;Add to the test-dictation context:
exten = h,1,System(post_processing_script.sh)

OR

;Not tested, but maybe just the following single line instead?
exten = h,1,Goto(123, 2)

In features.conf, I have uncommented the transfer features under feature

[general]

parkext = 700  ; What extension to dial to park

parkpos = 701-720  ; What extensions to park calls on.
These needs to be

; numeric, as Asterisk starts from the
start position

; and increments with one for the next
parked call.

context = parkedcalls  ; Which context parked calls are in

;parkingtime = 45  ; Number of seconds a call can be parked
for

; (default is 45 seconds)

;transferdigittimeout = 3  ; Number of seconds to wait between
digits when transferring a call

;courtesytone = beep; Sound file to play to the parked
caller

; when someone dials a parked call

xfersound = beep; to indicate an attended transfer is
complete

xferfailsound = beeperr ; to indicate a failed transfer

;adsipark = yes ; if you want ADSI parking announcements

;findslot = next   ; Continue to the 'next' free parking
space.

; Defaults to 'first' available

;pickupexten = *8   ; Configure the pickup extension.
Default is *8

;featuredigittimeout = 500  ; Max time (ms) between digits for

; feature activation.  Default is 500

 

 

[featuremap]

blindxfer = #1 ; Blind transfer

;disconnect = *0   ; Disconnect

;automon = *1  ; One Touch Record

atxfer = *2; Attended transfer

 

[applicationmap]

; Note that the DYNAMIC_FEATURES channel variable must be set to use the
features

; defined here.  The value of DYNAMIC_FEATURES should be the names of
the features

; to allow the channel to use separated by '#'.  For example:

;Set(DYNAMIC_FEATURES=myfeature1#myfeature2#myfeature3)

;

;testfeature = #9,callee,Playback,tt-monkeys   ;Play tt-monkeys to

Re: [asterisk-users] Secondary Dialtone and selecting a specific line from Zap/g

2007-10-03 Thread Mojo with Horan Company, LLC
It would be ugly, but you could prefix a zap channel or group number 
before the phone number to dial.  Using groups for an example:

exten = _*X*X.,1,Dial(ZAP/g${EXTEN:1:1}/${EXTEN:3})
exten = _*XX*X.,1,Dial(ZAP/g${EXTEN:1:2}/${EXTEN:4})

so dialing *4*18005551212 dials out over zap group 4...

 No, ignorepat is for FXS ports (FXS ports use FXO
 signaling).  Also, 
 ignorepat does not apply to SIP phones, because SIP
 phones provide
  their 
 own dialtone, not a dialtone provided by Asterisk.

 I think I am missing something here…. Any help is appreciated.

Those features are triggered via DTMF, not using a protocol-level
transfer. The IAXy uses IAX2 to talk to Asterisk, so doing a flash-hook
on the IAXY's FXS port will cause the IAXy to create a new IAX2 channel
and handle the transfer itself.

I think this is the problem, or at least a problem.

When Qwest pointed a number to the group, I noticed that calls arrived on 
ascending channel numbers. I observed...

Accepting call from '202239' to '866205' on channel 0/1, span 1
Executing Answer(Zap/1-1, ) in new stack

Subsequent calls show the following:

Channel SpanZap

2/241   48
3/1 1   49
.
.
.
3/241   72

So it looks to me like the T1 that is plugged into the second jack on the 
card really belongs in the 4th jack. Can I fix this by munging my 
configuration? (I'm in San Diego and the servers are in Phoenix.)

Here's my zaptel.conf:

Those features are triggered via DTMF, not using a protocol-level
transfer. The IAXy uses IAX2 to talk to Asterisk, so doing a flash-hook
on the IAXY's FXS port will cause the IAXy to create a new IAX2 channel
and handle the transfer itself.

You caused the behavior you are seeing by configuring your spanmap this
way; you've got physical span #4 configured as the second span in the
trunkgroup, so Zaptel will treat physical channels 73-95 as logical
channels 1/1 through 1/23.

Re: [asterisk-users] Agent Callback Login in 1.4

2007-10-03 Thread Atis Lezdins
 Can you describe exactly what you lose by using the dynamic queue member
 alternative? We tried to ensure that no functionality was lost in this
 transition, so if there is something that was missed please let us know
 what it is and we'll try to take care of it.

Now, i'm finally trying to migrate, and i see a problem here.

When i was using Agent channels there was status Busy indicated in show 
queues, whenever agent was on call from queue. I'm trying to do all the 
stuff with RT queue members and Local channels, but i'm missing this. I have 
read about GROUP usage in Local channel - so that upon call arrival Local 
channel can indicate that it's busy, however this is not executed upon show 
queues - so no status changes occur.

I believe this have some connection with  ast_device_state_changed, but it's 
only available in chan_agent, that as i understand is deprecated. 

Is there any other way how i would get status indication in show queues?

Regards,
Atis

That worked quite well.

 It might well be, but try as I might, I can't find a channel bank that

 Or as the above poster mentioned a Rhino card (would be much cheaper

 Each group of T1's have the primary D on 24 and the secondary D on 96.

 The first server (ts20) and the last server (ts22) can playback
 demo-congrats fine. The middle server (ts21) cannot -- just dead air.

 If I call via ZAP, dead air. If I call via IAX, I hear the file.

 I copied /etc/zaptel.conf, /etc/asterisk/*,
 /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/demo-congrats.gsm from ts20 to ts21 -- no joy.

 I have seen this in my system log file:

 Oct 2 18:41:49 WARNING[7477]: chan_zap.c:8087 zt_pri_error: [Span 0
 D-Channel 0] PRI: !! Got reject for frame 95, but we have nothing --

 I'm running asterisk-1.2.24, asterisk-addons-1.2.7, libpri-1.2.5,
 zaptel-1.2.20.1.

 show channel zap/?, zap show channel ? appear identical between
 working and non-working systems both on-hook and off-hook.

 Any clues or clues where to start looking?
   

   
 Double check both zaptel.conf and zapata.conf and also call the telco to
 make sure they have they have the same NFAS scheme on all T1s setup
 correctly.  Sometimes (let's face it, alot of times, the provider messes
 something up).

 Also check that all of your T1 cables are plugged into the correct T1
 port.  I have made that mistake myself when doing 28 T1s off a T3.  I
 got dead air just as you described.
 

 I think this is the problem, or at least a problem.

 When Qwest pointed a number to the group, I noticed that calls arrived on 
 ascending channel numbers. I observed...

   Accepting call from '202239' to '866205' on channel 0/1, span 1
   Executing Answer(Zap/1-1, ) in new stack

 So it looks to me like the T1 that is plugged into the second jack on the 
 card really belongs in the 4th jack. Can I fix this by munging my 
 configuration? (I'm in San Diego and the servers are in Phoenix.)
   
I guess you could work around it by messing with your configuration and 
changing channel numbers and putting your backup D on the correct 
channels. 

I would highly advise against it though.  You should call someone in 
Phoenix (just left there) and have them correct the cabling so it is 
done the proper way.  Even if you do get it working with the channels 
all mangled out of order, it will bite you sometime down the road (or 
someone else) when some sort of problem arises and you are trying to 
troubleshoot it.

[asterisk-users] Where to download Junghanns ISDNguard software?

2007-10-03 Thread Nick Richardson
Hi list,

I recently purchased an ISDNguard from Junghanns. It came with no
software and there is no sign on their website or in any of their
documentation where to download it. I have looked in
http://www.junghanns.net/downloads/ and there is no sign of it there
either. The only thing remotly close ther is
isdnguard-asterisk-1.2.13.patch. Their documentation refers to
/usr/sbin/ISDNguard. Where does one get this mysterious binary from?

I have emailed their support a few times and get no response, needless
to say I am NOT a happy customer.

Can anyone help me with a download link?

Thanks in advance..

 It would be ugly, but you could prefix a zap channel or group number

 exten = _*XX*X.,1,Dial(ZAP/g${EXTEN:1:2}/${EXTEN:4})

I invite you to try it.  You could make a lot of really smart people look like
fools if you're able to mix compressed audio together without decompressing,

I wholly understand the problem here. You can't, at present, mix
compressed audio stream, in compressed domain. You must decode them to
baseband, do the manipulation, then re-encode. OK, we get that. That's
today.

Such things have parallels in my day job, which is television
production  transmission. At least in the US the signal that a TV
station delivers to its DTV transmitter (ie the new digital one, not
the old analog one that the feds will make us turn off in 2008) that is
a compressed stream. Typically MPEG2 @ 19.2 MPBS. There was a time when
that was a signal stream that could not be manipulated. It was just the
transport mechanism from the last leg before the transmitter. 

Many companies wanted to be able to perform what seemed simple
manipulations on the stream, for example to add a station logo, without
taking the very significant quality hit of decompression and
recompression. Such hardware systems have become available over time.
Manipulation of the transmission streams in the compressed domain is
possible, but its very compute intensive...and so expensive. It's done
in massively parallel hardware architecture. There are a few vendors in
the broadcast business who provide such systems.

And that's for high bandwidth broadcast video. It would also be
possible for voice streams, but the math is very complex. Hardware
acceleration of encoding is already very common, witness Digium's own
encode/decode board. 

Given the right motivation to spur the development this could be
possible. In truth I suspect that there's little economic reason to do
it.

I guess your web server does not run as root and thus is not
allowed to invoke asterisk. (Try
echo shell_exec('id');
or
echo get_current_user();
in PHP.)

A possible solution (although not nice): Add
www-data  ALL=(ALL)   NOPASSWD: ALL
to /etc/sudoers (depending on your distribution etc. the Apache user
might be www-data / apache / ...) and in the PHP script run
shell_exec('sudo asterisk -rx extensions reload');

Re: [asterisk-users] Using PHP to reload extensions

2007-10-03 Thread Moises Silva
If you are running the script from a web server, the script gets
executed with the web server process permissions, hence, probably does
not have access to /var/run/asterisk.ctl.

You can give permissions to your web server, or better yet, dont
execute the command using shell_exec, better open a socket connection
to the Asterisk manager and execute Action: Command
Command: extensions reload
