Re: [asterisk-users] Unable to load module chan_zap.so
Make sure /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_zap.so is on your system. If not, my best guess is you compiled asterisk before zaptel. You'll need to recompile asterisk with the zaptel channeldriver enabled. Check with: make menuselect On 17:02, Mon 14 Apr 08, Jeremy Malcolm wrote: I am having trouble with chan_zap.so not loading.

Re: [asterisk-users] Similar option as promiscredir to use in transfer (REFER)
Thanks for the reply, Johansson. Sorry if my question was not very clear... What I need is that asterisk accepts a REFER command from the client, sending the call to a non local domain. The scenario is this: I receive a call from PSTN and dial a sip address that contains one of my applications (running in a separate machine). This application receives input from the user and then transfers the call to another application (in a third machine). The call from PSTN is going to be in asterisk (that got the call in first place) all the time, just the other end will change depending on user input. Bellow is a sip debug from this operation. Asterisk is running in 201.73.67.5:5060 and my first application is at [EMAIL PROTECTED]:5080. This application then tries to transfer the call to a second application located at [EMAIL PROTECTED]:5070, but asterisk ignores the part after the @ from the uri and tries sending the call to the extension 5070 in the context from-sip-external. I had a similar problem with redirects (302), but I solved it using the option promiscredir=yes inside sip.conf. I've already tried setting the option domain= in sip.conf but that didn't help... -- SIP read from 201.73.67.7:5080: REFER sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIP/2.0 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 201.73.67.7:5080;rport;branch=z9hG4bKPj3r0RqvljQLyTKpBVXgbhce5dADV20tVx Max-Forwards: 70 From: sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];tag=1jAy-XotYlPo06lq7VDTkQxfne5PnnPA To: 3130296800 sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];tag=as26b5df58 Contact: sip:201.73.67.7:5080 Call-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CSeq: 15651 REFER Event: refer Expires: 300 Accept: message/sipfrag;version=2.0 Allow-Events: presence, refer Refer-To: sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:5070 Referred-By: sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Length: 0 --- (15 headers 0 lines) --- Transfer to 5070 in from-sip-external Transfer from 0778 in from-sip-external Transmitting (no NAT) to 201.73.67.7:5080: SIP/2.0 202 Accepted Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 201.73.67.7:5080;branch=z9hG4bKPj3r0RqvljQLyTKpBVXgbhce5dADV20tVx;received=201.73.67.7;rport=5080 From: sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];tag=1jAy-XotYlPo06lq7VDTkQxfne5PnnPA To: 3130296800 sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];tag=as26b5df58 Call-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CSeq: 15651 REFER User-Agent: Asterisk PBX Allow: INVITE, ACK, CANCEL, OPTIONS, BYE, REFER, SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY Contact: sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Length: 0 X-Asterisk-HangupCause: Normal Clearing Thiago 13 apr 2008 kl. 17.46 skrev [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I made a similar question in a previous thread, but there was no answer, so I think I was not very clear making the question. What I need is some configuration that works like promiscredir=yes in sip.conf that enables me to do the same thing with transfer (REFER), letting me transfer a sip call to a non local sip address. I'm still not really sure what you ask for, but I'll give it a try. The transfer() dialplan application supports generating a REFER from Asterisk to the client. If the call is not answered, it will send 302, if the call is in UP state (answered), Asterisk will send a REFER. Try it. Best regards, /Olle --- * Olle E.

Double-plus cool. I'd be interested in sections like Rolling out a new server or How we maintain all the little configuration files without losing our sanity. I smell a magazine article. :-) That works, but I'm impatient. I'm up for peer review before publication. Understood. Real Magazines tend to be picky about first pub, though. The answer to the second question is likely going to become rsync or cfengine, but I haven't gotten that far yet... and we don't change them all that much anyway. VICIdial has *lots* of knobs.

I currently do it with shell scripts but I'm looking for something a bit more sophisticated. Puppet (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/AboutPuppet) was suggested during the Friday morning VOIP Users Conference. It's open source and written in Ruby. I just feel a bit silly installing yet another language just to support a support tool. Indeed. The shell script approach has the advantage of light weight. I do a minimal Centos 5 install and wget a single script which does everything -- configures the network, installs packages (OpenSER, Asterisk, Zaptel, Libpri, MySQL), adds users, and configures everything from services to timezone. I may stick with it, but it's getting a bit combersome and am interested in what has worked for others. Noted.

I can write a script to reload asterisk after a minute of boot up but i wanted to see if anyone else has seen this issue or has any thoughts. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Our solution may not help you all that much; I gather that with the exception of one small chunk of one file, all our boxen are configured exactly the same.

We did recently add a custom backup utility to our SVN for VICIDIAL(AST_backup.pl) that will backup all conf files, agi, sound and other files(optionally web files and mysql DB and my.cnf backup) and tar/gz them then send to FTP server. This has worked well for multi-server backups for a couple of our clients so far and it will be included with the next release of VICIDIAL. The idea behind the script is to create a very simple hot-spare solution where all you have to do to replace a running machine is change the IP address of the spare server and un-tar/gz the file on a base-installed system and it will take the place of the failed machine within minutes. We haven't had to use it in production in this capacity yet, but it has worked in testing.

[asterisk-users] do cards just instantly go bad
Hi - Been using a TE205P for a number of months - no issues. Today I was talking to someone and I heard click No more phone service. I still have data service on this T1 line. (partial phone) zttool reports the SPAN as OK. calls are not coming in or going out. Does a card just go bad like that? How can I tell if the card is bad? I was expecting/hoping to see something other than OK on zttool. Its reporting OK but still no calls. I made no changes to anything in weeks. I presume there is a chance the carrier (nuvox) is having issues but how can I make sure there isnt something on my end? My host box is centos 5.1, asterisk 1.4.11 libpri -1.4.1 and zaptel 1.4.5.1 Again, been running fine for MONTHS. I did stop asterisk, service zaptel restart, and start asterisk again, same thing though no calls.

Re: [asterisk-users] Is Asterisk really good??
-Original Message- I'd be interested in sections like Rolling out a new server or How we maintain all the little configuration files without losing our sanity. Hi, I will contribute my 2-cents on how I maintained consistency on a large application with 64 + Asterisks that all had to have the same config and links back to a central DB. Whenever we needed a new machine, we just We had a master source location.with a master image We cloned the hard drive with linux dd copy of master image boot the new machine with this disk assign appropriate IP address perform some sanity checks prior to shipping Send either disk or full machine to remote COLO for physical install. After the machine came on line, it would have enough configuration to join the other members of the farm of asterisks. For intermediate updates, we used SSL-DSA keys between the master master image machine and each of the 64+ remotes. We would wrote our own script and gave it a list of each machine on which to perform the particular steps. When it was launched, we just went out to lunch or home at night while the remotes were updated. This application had as many as 6,000 simultaneous call running and we wrote the scripts such that each remote were placed in a take no calls status by the script so we did not kill any active traffic. We found that no canned package was useful to do this because each maintenance cycle was addressing a different part of the overall configuration and had slightly different commands that were needed. Any good script writer can do the same for what you described.

It is designed around Asterisk, not compiled into Asterisk. VICIDIAL takes a different approach to the call center application from how Asterisk inbound Queues/Agents does it, since it uses Meetme rooms to house the agents allowing for more consistency across versions of Asterisk as well as a lot more flexibility in terms of features. The agent web interface is an AJAX application that will run well in most modern web browsers on computers with a PIII 500MHz or higher. With VICIDIAL you can do inbound/outbound/blended call handling and there are all sorts of features for call handling and agent functions. The latest VICIDIAL release is GPLv2, but for future major releases we are moving to the AGPLv2. VICIDIAL is free as in cost and speech. There are currently well over 400 companies using VICIDIAL in over 40 countries(unconfirmed survey results show over 700 company users, with over 17,000 seats total) and the agent interface is available in 9 languages.

Yes, we had to read it several times ourselves, the version we have in our SVN trunk is what we settled on since there are several different text formats of the AGPL license floating around. We have not done enough research on GPLv3 yet to want to move to it, and a lot of other GPLv2 projects are staying put as well for the time being. I'm not really fond of it myself. I don't know enough about it at the moment to be fond of it or not myself.

As for contributed code, we require a statement of this is my code and the project can use it and redistribute it from the author.

Could you expand on that decision, if you have a moment? What's the difference between the two licenses, did you consider GPLv3, and what's your situation on contributed code? We finally decided we would be going to AGPLv2 for our next major release due to a few hosted service providers out there that were altering the code to VICIDIAL, offering VICIDIAL hosted and not contributing their changes back to the project.

In my experience, the most reliable service for me has always been associated with commercial PSTN number providers. When it comes to consumer line service, you want E911 to always work correctly as a human life is often at risk. We use a $.$$ per-call pass-thru via a major US carrier. We pass the service along to our wholesale DID clients. Even though it costs, it is such low usage, that very few of our clients pass it along to their retail consumers.

Re: [asterisk-users] E911 Recommendations?
I'm in the same boat. And we don't need any snide comments because this is a potential liability. Municipalities don't provide E911, they are users of E911 data. If you are not a phone company and you want the E911 data updated with correct addresses, then you need to pay someone to do that for you. That is unless I grossly misunderstand it.

I wasn't aware that either of those functions were permitted to be outsourced. Clearly I have much to learn. They cannot be outsourced entirely, in any kind of meaningful financial sense. It is still necessary for the end VoIP provider to collect the necessary waivers from the user, to obtain accurate and up-to-date address information from the end-user, and to provide facilities to complete the E911 call. The part that can be outsourced is the actual delivery of the call to the correct PSAP. It doesn't make economic sense for a nationwide VoIP service provider[1] to obtain hard tandem trunks to the various PSAPs in various LATAs all throughout for a service that enjoys at best very incidental use and whose costs cannot be recouped. So, what typically happens is that the VoIP service provider uses some sort of intra-industrial interface gateway, web service, API, etc. to build ALI information for every customer and transmit that to the E911 carrier, which updates it in its own database and actually provides the PSAP connectivity. In other words, there's still a lot of legwork to be done by the VoIP provider, so I don't know that outsourced is really the right term for it.

When an incoming call appears we get the following in the log: -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/1-1' -- Detecting post-CID distinctive ring [Apr 15 10:38:07] NOTICE[7151]: chan_zap.c:6469 ss_thread: Got event 18 (Ring Begin)...

What might i have incorrect here?

Re: [asterisk-users] Need some input for Quad T1 and channel banks.
I want to 3rd this.

[asterisk-users] Problem with SPA3000 -- dropping calls
Hi, all I have SPA3000 (in Linksys reincarnation) and it has very annoying problem. Sometimes, incoming PSTN call drops the moment one picks up analog phone on FXO port. Most of the times it works, other times phone on FXS rings, I pick it up and all I get is a dial tone. Any ideas what may be wrong?

Re: [asterisk-users] question about queue
Anyone can update me about the queue sticking by a caller? Is it solved in version 1.4.x? How?

That being the case and we're in the day and age of 1.6 branches now, it'd be interesting to think of what people would think of deprecating this option completely now in /trunk in favor of the autofill=yes behavior being the only behavior available. I cannot think of any use cases where the autofill=no behavior might be desirable. That being said, I also might have blinders on so would be curious to here what the rest of the community has to say about it.

Re: [asterisk-users] do cards just instantly go bad
If you really suspect the card is at fault, you can try to plug in both ports with a crossover cable and try making a phone call that goes from one port to the other. Or you can have the provider send down a tech with a T-Bird.

Does a card just go bad like that? How can I tell if the card is bad? I was expecting/hoping to see something other than OK on zttool. Its reporting OK but still no calls. Probably not the card. More likely the T1 provider. Contact your carrier. Ask them to put a T1 level trouble ticket. Ask that you be on the phone when the tester is bringing the T1 down and up. Quite often, all that is needed is to BOUNCE the circuit from the switch end. ..mike.. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
