[asterisk-users] Asterisk and PhoneControl
Hi, Has anyone had any experience integrating Asterisk 1.4 with PhoneControl call accounting software ( www.phonecontrol.com.au ) Apparently the s/w does SMDI on serial interface and IP collection. Looking at SMDI in Asterisk I don't think that method will work for SIP calls.

Re: [asterisk-users] Digium training course
Fair enough, I did not attend bootcamp, and I passed the dcap at Astricon 2004. My opinion was based on a number of questions in the written exam that I felt had nothing to do with either Asterisk or integration of Asterisk into a customer site. My assumption therefore was that those questions covered content taught in the Bootcamp. I am happy to stand corrected on the matter.

I attended a Bootcamp earlier this year and thought I was fully prepared to pass the dCAP. Especially since I already had real-world Asterisk experience. But the written exam covered material that we hadn't even discussed in class, some stuff that was in the book, and other that I was totally lost on. I passed the practical with a near perfect score, but fell just short of passing the written. IMHO, the written portion needs to be re-evaluated. What I think needs to change is de-coupling the dCAP exam from the Bootcamp class. I'll likely never retake the dCAP exam since Digium doesn't offer the Bootcamp in my area (Portland) and I can't go to a local testing facility (New Horizons, et al.) and do the exam. It would cost me well beyond the $300 to take the exam after factoring in travel costs and time spent away from work. Also, the problem with the dCAP being coupled to the Bootcamp is that it gives you the false impression that the Bootcamp prepares you to pass the dCAP and that is completely *not true*. In my Bootcamp class of 9 only 4 took the dCAP. Our own instructor said it took him 3 tries to pass! If this isn't going to change, then the dCAP should be changed so that the Bootcamp *does* prepare you to pass. And similarly, Digium should then also offer less expensive (at least, less than $3K) self-study materials or online training that also offers similar training without having to be present at the Bootcamp That way someone could elect to train at their own schedule and later coordinate to drop-in on the last day of a Bootcamp session and take the dCAP. - Chris On Sep 21, 2008, at 9:15 AM, Tilghman Lesher wrote: On Thursday 18 September 2008 20:56:58 Craig Guy wrote: I felt at the time the written portion was heavily biased towards people who had done the training - in fact I would go so far as to say that it was designed specifically to discriminate against people who had not attended the official training.

Re: [asterisk-users] Digium training course
I got my dCAP by turning up to the exam at Astricon in Madrid a couple years ago without doing any training. It may have changed since then but I found that the practical exam would be difficult if not impossible to pass without knowing what you were doing - either through real world experience or having done the training. I felt at the time the written portion was heavily biased towards people who had done the training - in fact I would go so far as to say that it was designed specifically to discriminate against people who had not attended the official training. Anyhow, the point I am making is that a brain dump will help you pass the written but you'll be humiliated (and rightly so) when you sit the practical.

If memory serves me correctly, there was talk about this very issue when the training and dCAP track came out. I will google it later. Nobody, including Mark Spencer and myself, have gotten a free pass on the dCAP. That said, I think you may be able to take the test for cheap. I don't know the exact price, but in any bootcamp, they allow people to come down on the last day and take only the test, as I did, if they have the space and resources (specifically, for the practical portion). I also used to think the old timers should get grandfathered dCAP cert. Then I looked at some of the stuff the dCAP certification tests for and realized that almost nobody out there that learned Asterisk from the docs and use it in a real world install would be able to pass the dCAP.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk - Nortel CS1K via NRS
Hi, Was wondering if anyone had any tips or experience in getting a Nortel CS1K and Asterisk 1.4.19 to talk to each other via NRS? So far I've gotten asterisk to place calls to the CS1k via the NRS, however calls originated by the CS1K get rejected by the NRS with a 404 Not Found message. If I take the NRS out of the equation by replacing the IP address of the NRS in the CS1K with that of the Asterisk server then everything works ok, however I would like to get the NRS working as it seems to take on the role of SIP proxy server, allowing configuration of multiple SIP trunks where the CS1K seems to be otherwise restricted to a single trunk.

Re: [asterisk-users] Fax solution for Asterisk
Not necessarily - if you set your iaxmodems to only produce G4 encoded tiffs you can then use something like c42pdf http://c42pdf.ffii.org/ which essentially copies the tiff image data into a pdf container. Lightning fast, quality is preserved, very little memory usage and very little cpu. I believe that the tiff2pdf binary in later versions of libtiff does a similar thing.

Okay, T1 card issue sorted out. New Lesson: Stay Away from TigerJet chips.
Next up, modem pool -- I wanted to know if the below config looked anywhere
near half-sane for defining in asterisk what is essentially a small pool of
four waiting modems that will handle faxes if another modem is busy:
exten = _X.,1,Dial(IAX2/iaxmodem0/${EXTEN})
exten = _X.,2,Busy
exten = _X.,3,Hangup
exten = _X.,4,Dial(IAX2/iaxmodem1/${EXTEN})
exten = _X.,5,Busy
exten = _X.,6,Hangup
exten = _X.,7,Dial(IAX2/iaxmodem2/${EXTEN})
exten = _X.,8,Busy
exten = _X.,9,Hangup
exten = _X.,10,Dial(IAX2/iaxmodem3/${EXTEN})
exten = _X.,11,Busy
exten = _X.,12,Hangup
This seemed logical, but redundant. I've seen the usage of macro's to
condense stuff like that, but I wasn't sure how to have it auto-determine
which modem to use (i.e., iaxmodem0 through iaxmodem3). In my mind, I'm
thinking of this in the form of a for loop:
for each modem in iaxmodem0..iaxmodem3
is it busy?
Yes: Continue
No: Answer
done
done
Is something like that representable in asterisk-speak?
Also pondering ahead for working on outbound faxing, I'm assuming a
[fax-out] context would be somewhat similar as the above, just a different
set of iaxmodems (4-7)?

Re: [asterisk-users] Snom 360 lights not working on subscription
The Linksys SPA962 with SPA932 sidecar support both speed dial and BLF. IMHO very good for the money and very easy to provision once you get a hold of the proper provisioning guide. These things are designed for mass deployment and remote provisioning. As other people have noted, you need to provision via http rather than tftp for best effect. I also have two provisioning files, a shared settings file with the bulk of the config and then a per handset file based on the mac address containing the account and any special customisations. The only bad bit is that a resync usually causes a reboot of the handset which interrupts the connection of anything attached to the PC port of the phone.

RE: [asterisk-users] basic asterisk knowledge
G729 and annex A differ in the perceived quality and cpu requirements. The annex A version requires less CPU at the cost of loss of quality. The bitstreams are compatible with each other in that a G729A codec can decode a G729 stream and vice versa.

I know that 50 simulataneous calls will work fine on a 1GHz processor as long as you're not transcoding. Also, see this: http://www.digium.com/en/products/voice/g729codec.php where they have done some tests themselves and mention the transcoding numbers vs. CPU speed. 3-Do asterisk have a codec conversion? Asterisk will transcode between different codecs, if the codecs are compiled in, or licensed (g729) but transcoding comes at a big CPU cost.

RE: [asterisk-users] RE: Bottom line on fax reception
I haven't used the iaxmodem / hylafax combo for sending, only for receiving. However my experience is that it is 99% reliable. I am using a Dell PowerEdge 850 with a Pentium 2.8Ghz and 512mb ram. I think it is the Pentium D but could be the dual core, not sure, whatever the base cpu was at the time of order. Running FC4, Asterisk 1.2.16, Hylafax and IAXmodem. Hardware is TE205p with 50 channels active. This combination quite happily receives 50 concurrent faxes without breaking a sweat. Takes roughly 3000 faxes per day. I have another 5 servers similar hardware scattered around the place doing smaller amounts of inbound faxing again with 99% reliability. This same machine also handles inbound voicemail, IVR and converts received tiffs to PDF.

If you are faxing contracts or other important documents that are worth something, then go for a more reliable solution. On a 3ghz HP DL320 with a gig of RAM, each fax took about 5% indicated by top. I would not want to go above ten simultaneous faxes so I setup ten IAX Modems (50% in top). Even at that rate, there were a lot of failures. I did not bother to figure out why because these were legal contracts, in bulk, amounting to big dollars. anyone have a comparison with a multicpu machine with the same or lower clock rate ? Let me further qualify my results. This was done with whatever the current stable versions of Asterisk, Hylafax, and IAXmodem were available in January of this year. The faxes were outbound. PDFs put into a Samba share and a cron job moving them over to the Hylafax monitored directory.

The channel must be dedicated to faxing, and that's that. This may or may not be an issue for you though. The last fax setup I did was for a small 2-person office where they had an existing fax machine that answered, listened for the remote fax squawk, if it didn't get it, then it rung the phones daisy-chained to it, and if they didn't answer it went to answering machine.

there was a thread regarding this a while ago on the dev list which resulted
in a patch being made to allow variable passing via IAX2 channels. See
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=7619 for the patch which I think is in
SVN or anyhow, is not in 1.2
I have recently backported this patch to 1.2 and have a patch which is
tested against 1.2.12, 1.2.12.1 and 1.2.15, but should work against at least
1.2.13 and 1.2.14. The patch introduces a new dialplan function called
IAXVAR, Email me if interested.

When the call dials into Box 2 the variable Foo does not get passed...
Does anyone have any clever ideas?
as noted in asterisk/docs/README.variables (iirc)
you should see that variable inheritance can occur by prefacing the
variable with '_' or '__'
also, depending on the age of your asterisk you might want to start using
'Set' vice 'SetVar'
also, having ${EXTEN:0} , the :0 doesn't do anything, so you should not
use it and just have ${EXTEN}
i hope this helps
sadly replying to my own post, but, i forgot to mention that
passing variables with IAX2 can be an issue sometimes when you use
user and peer (the user side can pass vars the peer side can not, or
doesn't accept them iirc)
this does not happen using friend, but that has its own issues... check

Re: [asterisk-users] Re: Asterisk Faxing Support
It's not that Digium don't want fax or t.38 support, it's just that it is not very likely for Steve Underwood to provide it for Asterisk. I'm sure that Digium are very keen for someone to write and contribute t.38 code for Asterisk, it's just that there aren't very many people with the required knowledge and willingness to contribute in that area. The reasons are sorta complex, but as I understand it there are two issues. Spandsp will not be included in Asterisk as Steve will not disclaim the it to Digium, preferring to keep his code under GPL. Likewise, Digium won't accept code that isn't disclaimed - Spandsp could never be included in ABE for example without a disclaimer and it wouldn't make business sense for Digium to have code in the free distribution that can't be in their commercial distribution. The second issue is that it is often very difficult to have code accepted into trunk. An example of this is the t.38 related code that Steve was working on for Asterisk in late 2005. Whilst not directly spandsp, these were backend changes inside asterisk that were required in order to interface t.38 into asterisk. Eventually he gave up and is now focussing his efforts on openpbx which is pure gpl and is easier to get code into trunk, so sort of a path of least resistance - why try to get code into asterisk when it is easier to get it into the fork. Fow now, it is easiest to use hylafax / spandsp with asterisk. The majority of the hard work has been done and Lee Howard is very responsive to user queries. Anyhow, thats my understanding and I could be way off the mark.

Steve Underwood and the other fine persons that have helped to develop the software DSPs and other stuff required for FoIP support also have no interest in writing any further faxing support for Asterisk (RxFax, TxFax + the newest span_dsp wont even compile, much less work under Asterisk any more) probably because they know it will never be included into the Asterisk code. Someone please tell me this isn't truth. Afaik it is true that it will not be included in the Asterisk source because Steve will not disclaim the code to Digium (which he off course is entitled to).

Re: [asterisk-users] Incorrect Ring tone. Getting a US tone when itshould be AU tone
Hi David, It can be set on the Sipura / Linksys devices. Look under Admin, Advanced, Regional, Call Progress Tones. There is a link floating around on Whirlpool forums to a page and auto provision file containing the correct settings to produce Australian tones. It also depends on whether the phone allows the PBX to make the progress tones or whether the phone alone does them. The setting to control this is in Sipura/Linksys firmware 3.1.10 and higher from memory. If you want the handset to do the tones, or you get a 'double ringing' in the handsets of these phones / ATA's then set Admin / Advanced / Line X / SIP Settings / Sticky 183 to no.

Re: [asterisk-users] Re: Can you explain why multiple registrationisan important (missing) feature ?
I was afraid that may be the case - The issue I have with that approach is
how do you avoid manually mapping extensions to mac addresses in the
dialplan? Assuming I have a PRI with 100did and I want to use the last 4
digits of the DID as the internal extension, I want to use something like
below to handle the bulk of calls:
exten = _,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:4},20)
How can this be accomplished if SIP usernames are mac addresses?, it would
seem to me that sip.conf is the correct place to map an extension to a
device, otherwise I would have an extensions.conf with a manual entry for
each extension making updating it a chore.

Or at least, that's how I interpreted what Eric said. I think that's an
excellent approach. THe phones are devices. An extension calls one or
more
devices. Makes a lot more sense than multiple extensions calling multiple
extensions.
Your definition in the sip.conf would be defining devices according to
their
MAC addresses. Your dial plan would call these devices based on
extensions.
exten = 100,1,Dial(SIP/MAC) ; where MAC is the MAC address of the phone

I'm interested, too in how to accomplish this. I have tried earlier today with a Snom360 to register it using its mac address as the authentication username. I can't seem to get it to work (hopefully I'm just doing something wrong). My sip.conf (asterisk 1.2.12) looks something like: [9580] type=peer auth=000413242fff:[EMAIL PROTECTED] With this the handset registers itself with asterisk, however I don't think it is working as I can change the username and password without affecting the registration on the handset. If I try and set secret=secret, or md5secret= then asterisk refuses to register the handset with a 'Registration from ... failed for ... - Username/auth name mismatch' How can I specify the authentication username in sip.conf?

Using the extension as the SIP User ID does not scale, is confusing, and limits your thinking about devices and extensions. There are several reasons this is a bad idea. Multiple extension numbers ringing on the same device / line appearance is the most common. We use the MAC address of the device as the SIP User ID. We append a -a, -b, -c, etc to the MAC address for each line appearance. This does not work well for Softphone, but since All Softphones Suck(TM), we don't really care about this limitation.

Re: [asterisk-users] rxfax, spandsp and lack of ecm
It would be nice if someone could do that but I doubt it will happen. Hylafax / iaxmodem is more complicated and more effort to set up than rxfax but the end result is worth the effort. My only criticism is that I set up 2 x E1's on a server (60 channels) and I didn't enjoy having to configure 60 entries in iax.conf, 60 tty's in etc/inittab, 60 modem entries in var/spool/hylafax/etc, 60 entries in extensions.conf .. you get the picture. In that respect rxfax is much much easier and faster to get going, and also more scalable cause you can just keep calling it as many times as you need it without having to know your max concurrent calls in advance.

I have been able to get the fax forwarded to the appropriate zap channel, but I cannot seem to get it to stop 'faxdetect'ing.

exten = _,n,Hangup
exten = h,1,goto(dialout,,1)

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Quad BRI card
By the last sentence I mean that only the person or company holding the A-tick can put the sticker on the cards. Paralell importation refers to 'grey' imports that don't come through the vendors sanctioned distribution channels.

The Australian distributor sells them for $400, I can get them off eBay in Europe for $20 per card - the exact same card. $400 is just pure extortion and is going a hell of a long way to prevent the adoption of Asterisk in this country where BRI is the norm and PRI is outrageously expensive.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Quad BRI card
Any device to legally connect to the PSTN in Australia must be approved by the regulatory body. A process that usually costs at least $20,000 and only allows the permit holder to sell the product for conneciton to the pstn. It is a very high barrier to entry for the Australian market. There is a guy in Victoria who certified the Fritz! card and charges $400 each for them. Paralell imports are not allowed to be connected. Some manufacturers do the right thing by certifying the card themselves (Eicon for example). Other manufacturers such as AVM leave it to the distributor to certify the card for the local market. The difference is that I can buy an Eicon card off eBay from the US or Europe and legally connect it to the PSTN in Australia as the card comes from the factory carrying the regulartory approval mark. If i was to buy AVM, Digium or Sangoma from another country I'm out of luck cause it doesn't carry the approval sticker that the Australian distributor puts on it. I can understand both points of view - as a customer I want a competitive market so I get value for money. As a distributor I want an exclusive territory so I can jack up the prices to whatever the market will bear without being undercut by nasty competition.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] dCAP certification - Advice needed
It sounds like you could pass it. The Boot Camp is not strictly necessary. However I am not sure dCAP would be worth it - I did mine last year and was rewarded with a little plaque saying that I was dCAP certified for asterisk v1.0 - I received the plaque about 1 month before asterisk 1.2 came out. So it seems that you should redo the dCAP every time a new release of asterisk comes out which on the current release cycle means every 6 months. Very expensive investment to keep it current, especially if they don't offer exams in your country and you have to travel internationally to sit it like I did.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Digium cards, so disappointing !
I have so far found 2 ATA's that seem to be able to handle FAX reasonably well. The first one is the Grandstream ATA-286 (firmware up to 1.0.6.7, have not tried any firmware later than this), I have used these at multiple customer sites and no one has ever reported problems. They handle G3 faxing ok. Where I work we also use an analog modem connected to one and we get reliable 42k connects. On the asterisk side of things we use PRI (TE110p, TE410p, TE210p). The grtandstreams are plug and go, just disable the t.38 support. The other ATA that I have found to be able to perform faxing is the Linksys PAP2NA, however the configuration is more complex and it doesn't seem to handle G3 or analog modems. I'd recommend the Grandstream as your best chance of successful faxing in an asterisk setting where asterisk has an ISDN connection to the PSTN.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk in production as a fax server, anyone?
Hi Adolfo, I have done this and it works. I have maxed out an E1 with 30 concurrent calls of which at least 25 would have been fax. Hardware is nothing special, Dell Poweredge 750, 512mb ram, single SATA drive with either of a TE410p or TE110p card. OS is FC2 with kernel 2.6.9 I expect the server would handle 60 concurrent calls.

Greetings, All-Knowing Asterisk Users List, My company needs to build a reliable fax server that can handle at least 30 simultaneous incoming faxes from the PSTN, using PRI. We realize that this can be solved in any number of ways using a Linux box, but since IVR is also a must, Asterisk popped up as the most promising solution. After combing these lists for clues, we began experimenting extensively with Asterisk and its software DSP and fax capabilities in most of their incarnations, such as Rxfax or Iaxmodem/Hylafax, together with Digium's E1 cards in server-grade Intel motherboards, all in a dedicated test environment. Unfortunately, though, we have yet to achieve reliable and satisfactory results, even with only 1 fax call at a time. I won't go into the details because we don't need technical support, given that this is, as of yet, a very loosely defined test. What we want is is merely a pointer in the right direction. So here it comes: Has anybody ever achieved, or know of someone who has, reliable 30 simultaneous PRI fax calls using Asterisk and Asterisk-compatible hardware and software? We are hardware agnostic, so if you say Sangoma's cards do it better than Digium's, or that Eicon Diva cards' hardware DSP and chan_capi are the only solution, we have no problem going there. I would be most thankful, however, for detailed explanations of successful scenarios, including such things as motherboard make and model, processor speed, Linux distribution and version, and anything else you decide to be even marginally pertinent.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Asterisk in production as a fax server, anyone?
In practice I've found that the fax receiving process is sensitive to CPU load. If the load jumps too high you will see half page fax pages or black streaky pages mixed with perfectly good pages in a multipage fax. Things that can cause this include running agi scripts or rendering your tiff to another format on your * server. I render my faxes on the * server, however received tiffs are queued so as to render them one at a time. If you get page problems you could try rendering them on a dedicated server.

Adolfo R. Brandes wrote: Lee Howard wrote: The concurrent calls really isn't that big of a deal, either, if those are your thoughts. The bigger issue seems to be the quality of the audio as it is delivered to the fax application/modem. Interesting. The little information I've found on the subject seemed to imply that Asterisk couldn't handle more than a handful of fax calls using software DSP. This could also be explained away by frame slips too, right? I don't know what a handful means, but fax audio is audio just the same. If Asterisk can handle 30 channels of G.711 then it can handle 30 channels of fax audio. As for the fax application being able to handle it, I know that HylaFAX can handle it; I'm quite certain that iaxmodem could; and I suspect that txfax/rxfax could, but I don't know. The fabled frame slips could account for any number of fax-related problems that users report. Whether or not these things should really be called frame slips is debatable, but I believe that's how the core part of Asterisk sees it - kind of like jitter occurring on a PSTN line. I had begun to get the impression that Sangoma cards were overall better cards than Digium's. It seems that's not necessarily the case. Well, the hardware itself is better, yes, from what I understand. But in my experience that difference doesn't solve the frame slipping issue with the problematic motherboards. The most success I've seen has been to bridge the call through Asterisk to a T1 fax modem such as a Patton 2977 or an Eicon Diva Server with HylaFAX running the modems. Now THAT is a very good idea! To us, it means that if push comes to shove, there is a certain method for having IVR and reliable faxing available during a single call. Thank you! But just to make it clear, woudn't frame slips enter the picture here too? If there is frame slipping on the Asterisk bridge, yes, that could be a problem, too. But in the deployments that I've used there was no so-called frame slipping occurring, so faxing through that bridge was just fine. But, if you're referring to frame slipping occurring on the fax modem... no, I've never [ever] seen that happen with either the Patton 2977 or the Eicon Diva Server (or any of a slew of analog multi-modem hardware)... regardless of motherboard type or sharing of IRQs. I really do tend to believe that the frame slipping problem is with either the Zap hardware or the Zap driver. I don't know how much common hardware there is between the Sangoma and the Digium hardware, but I don't suspect much is common these days, and thus I would tend to look at the zap drivers first as culprits.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] MultiBRI in Australia - found one - maybe
We went to kernel 2.6.15, and at the same time went to mISDN 0.3.0 rc25, we haven't had any lockups but users are reporting dropped calls. Unfortunately for us this means dropping chan_mISDN in favour of the Cisco router containing BRI cards and then SIP from the Cisco to Asterisk. It may still be possible to use chan_capi with the mISDN drivers for the Drayteks but for us we've run out of time which is a bit of a bummer. I believe the problem is in chan_mISDN which is admittedly still an experimental driver at this stage with release candidates every few days for the past couple weeks. I'm still interested to know how you guys get along with these adapters. As I said, I think the problem is within chan_mISDN at this stage rather than in the USB adapters, so maybe using chan_CAPI on top of mISDN hardware drivers or using chan_vISDN would be the way to go until chan_mISDN matures.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] MultiBRI in Australia - found one - maybe
Being USB 1.1 is not a problem - there is more than enough bandwidth for a BRI in USB. The handsets used in the BRI install are Snom 360's with firmware 5.3 and internal users have complained of slight echo, however I believe this is more to do with the Snoms than the Draytek adapters. For faxing use we have installed a Grandstream ATA 286. I haven't had any feedback yet regarding problems or success with faxing for this customer. I would have expected to hear of any problems faxing by now but I will try to follow it up, however as long as the latency is consistent (ie minimal jitter in the USB stack) it shouldn't cause any problems for fax. At work in our own office we have two SNOM 360's and people with them also complain of slight echo. (We are using TE110p PRI for PSTN). The rest of our office use a combination of Sipura 841, Cisco 7960 and Grandstream BT101 and there are no echo complaints with any of these non Snom handsets, so at this point it doesn't appear that these BRI adapters have echo problems.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] MultiBRI in Australia - found one - maybe
I have been involved with a BRI install using 3 x Draytek minivigor 128 BRI adapters and chan_mISDN. The draytek units use the HFCS-USB chipset, are USB and take power from the USB interface. Each adapter will support PTP, PTMP, TE and I think NT mode with a maximum of 8 adapters (16 channels) per server. The TA's themselves cost $71 inc GST which is the most cost effective BRI / multi BRI solution I have found in Australia to date. I have one in production for about a week, however chan_mISDN is still listed as experimental at this time. Initially with FC4 and the default FC4 kernel the server used to lock up solid about once every 24 hours. It has been suggested to us that people using kernel 2.6.14 or higher do not experience these problems so we rebuilt the server with the new kernel and put it in yesterday. We should find out in a couple of days if this has fixed the lockup problem. If we can't resolve it we'll stick in a Cisco router to handle the BRI. Anyhow, apart from the lockup problem, it does definitely work and if the lockup is in chan_mISDN then you could use chan_capi on top of mISDN with these adapters. I have a server in production elsewhere using the Fritz! card with mISDN drivers and chan_capi for over a year. So, if you have have the ability to do some testing then definitely have a play with these Draytek adapters. I got mine from Netbro in NSW. Note that it is only the currently available minivigors that have the HFCS-USB chipset, older ones on the secondhand market and eBay most likely use a Winbond chipset. As for aesthetics, I was concerned that from the customers viewpoint it might look dodgy, as if we are using the equivalent of external modems to connect the PBX to the pstn, however the units are quite small and have a business feel to them. They look sorta like an ADSL line splitter and cabled neatly look quite professional.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: spandsp 0.0.2pre25
I have used version 0.0.2 every version from pre8 bar pre23 with 1.0.x and pre23, 25 with 1.2.2 and 1.2.4. My libtiff is 3.5.7 with asterisk 1.0.x and libtiff 3.7.1-6 with asterisk 1.2.2 and 1.2.4 I am of the personal opinion through experience that txfax talking to rxfax does not work, and that in any case trying to do more than 3 concurrent txfax is unreliable.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Application Faxing using SIP
I have successfully used the Grandstream ATA286 and Linksys PAP2NA. I would recommend the Grandstream over the Linksys as there is less configuration to do and it is IMHO more reliable for faxes.

One way of creating that, I would expect, would be to add another ethernet card to your Asterisk server and then run a crossover cable between that interface and the ethernet interface of the ATA. You'll also need to configure the ATA to not do lots of things typically done by ATAs, like echo cancellation. That's a good idea. I hadn't thought of using a crossover cable and a dedicated card like that. (Though, that said, I suspect that the datapath through our regular network switches is probably close enough to lossless for this purpose as well.)

A packeteer sounds like some serious $$ to be spend, I'm guessing that recabling might even be cheaper. Why not try the following, there are plugs available that replace the current RJ45 outlets, or plugin an normal outlet and split the cable in 2 times RJ45. See http://www.datorhandel.com/se/products/679-F or http://www.abccables.com/ca-003805.html for an example you would need 1 at both ends, or in the patchroom recable only on that side.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] dell and digium hardware
Works well. I am running 1.0.9 stable on this with FC2 on kernel 2.6.9 The kernel needs patching to pick up the onboard SATA (ICH7), or we use a pci express SATA raid controller with a TE110p. The only real hassle is the single 'standard' pci slot in it. Remote access is via SOL and the embedded third nic.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Wanted to Swap! TDM400 FXO module(s) for FXS
Maybe, but I would expect a fax on a Grandstream ATA-286 would be more reliable than the same fax on the tdm400. I can only speak from my personal experience. I have faxes setup on both the the Grandstream 286 and on linksys PAP2NA, with the ATA's on the same 100mbit switch as Asterisk. The asterisk itself has a PRI connection to the pstn. The grandstream gives the best results - To my knowledge we have never lost a fax on it, and we do dialup modem internet banking with a netcomm modem on the ata286 with reliable 48000bps connect. (The modem will not connect if attached to the PAP2NA).

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Which asterisk-friendly cards are fax-capable?
I have downloaded iaxmodem and gone through the readme but not yet installed it. I currently use rxfax to receive in the vicinity of 1200 faxes per day and 5000 or more pages (faxes vary from single page to 30 pages) per E1, with a peak load of about 12 concurrent inbound faxes to rxfax.

I have been testing using Hylafax for faxout with an 8 port analog fax modem card and a couple PAP2NA's and this works well, but I am very much looking forward to checking out iaxmodem.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Which asterisk-friendly cards are fax-capable?
I'm trying to figure out what an appropriate deployment model might be. Whether to have iaxmodem installed on the hylafax server with a switched ethernet connection for iax2 to the * server with the PRI, or to have the iaxmodem on the PRI * server and channel the tty comms across the network. I suspect that the latter might work ok over a WAN so I could have a central hylafax server with distributed * servers running iaxmodem at the far end of wan links (up to 100ms latency). The only issue is that I want to retain rxfax on the PRI * servers for incoming faxes. Lee, if I install iaxmodem on a * server for outbound faxing from hylafax, can I still use rxfax on the same server to receive faxes?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Soekris and Asterisk
Hi Kristan, The interrupt load is what I am most worried about. At most it would be two spans. Echo cancellation is not required as 80% or more would be fax traffic, the rest IVR and voicemail. I am aware of AstLinux but unfortunately for this particular application the Soekris OS is gonna be FreeBSD as the Soekris is primarily a router with the PRI piggybacking. As far as I can tell, I don't need asterisk installed, just zaptel and libpri. I guess I'll find out. The major reason for this is that I can't physically stick the PRI card in my * server (don't ask!) so this is one of the alternatives I have dreamed up, along with setting up the Soekris with the PRI and IAX2 trunking to the * box but I think TDMoE would be much more efficient. At the end of the day I might just have to get a bigger * server to get the card in, but doing it this way would be an interesting hack and also allows some sort of scripted failover. Eg, if the Soekris sees that a * server has died it can stop the zaptel service, swap in different config files pointing to a mac address in a backup * server and away we go :) Craig - Original Message - From: Kristian Kielhofner [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 6:35 PM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Soekris and Asterisk Craig Guy wrote: Has anyone on the list used a Soekris engineering PC as a TDM - Ethernet bridge?

I don't really want to get sucked into the whole openpbx thing but I did just want to comment one point in this part: I took the opportunity to do the Asterisk Certification Exam at Astricon Europe (I did not do the training course, however I did manage to pass). My impression of the multi choice 'theory' part of the exam is that it was written deliberately to encourage people to undertake the paid training course. A number of the questions were involved with stuff that someone building asterisk systems would never ever have to deal with or think about such as the vendors behind some of the VOIP standards, other esoteric historical information that would never be used, and various obscure asterisk command line switches and cli commands. Of course, I'm sure that the paid training course has a couple hours devoted to such things. The practical part of the exam showed a distinct USA bias - It was in terms of T1's and analog zap extensions. I am from Australia, and the exam was in Europe, these parts of the world generally use BRI ISDN and PRI E1 with hdb3 and crc4 line protocols and channel 16 as the D channel. I'm not sure about Europe, but in Australia up until very recently the Zaptel analog cards were not certified for connection to the PSTN, which makes knowledge of them irrelevant for this part of the world. I don't know how to configure a T1 and I probably will never need to in my * career. The certification testing should be regionalised for the specific country or part of the world it is being administered in. Since the exam I have heard nothing, no congratulatory email, no certificate with a dCAP membership number, no login to a website or dCAP community forum etc. No access to digium or asterisk logos to put on my business cards or website, no listing of certified people on the Digium website. So at the moment I don't really see what benefit there is to paying a couple hundred dollars for the exam. Sure, I tell people that I am certified, but if they ask for proof I have none to give. I did email Digium about this and received a vague reply about printing up and mailing out some plaques at some time in the future. To me it almost seems like Digium are treating their dCAPS as competition rather than partners given the lack of support to date.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] T.38 Faxing - at astricon ?
The problem as I see it is that if people start expecting it to work then rather than being pleasantly surprised when it does, they will be bitterly disappointed when it doesn't. IMHO analog fax over IP is too flaky to encourage the general public to utilise, and any suggestion to the contrary is misleading. Having said that, I have an analog fax connected to an ATA that works 100% of the time, however I have my ATA and Asterisk on the same ethernet switch. I wouldn't expect to have it work reliably over a WAN or other broadband internet connection.

Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk schrieb: ... see http://soft-switch.org/foip.html for a brief explaination of why this generally doesn't work... Hi, maybe one should update this link. I think, you agree, that VoIP is somewhat similar to ISDN, as it transports analog audio data in a digitally coded way. Noone doubts, that ISDN is suitable to transport analog fax. Finally the PSTN is 99,9% digital (ISDN/SS7), even if some subscriber lines are still analog. (Ok, ISDN is a managed network, and thus very high quality.) Since there are more and more regions in the world, where internet connectivity quality approaches to ISDN quality, analog faxing over VoIP becomes reliable and hassle free. You should have 128kbit in both directions, better 256kbit, maybe some QoS build in your router (e.g. Linux's iproute2), and pingtimes below 20ms to the VoIP-provider (PSTN-gateway). DSL with fastpath or internet by TV cable does provide this standard imho and become more and more available. Thus we shouldn't discourage people generally of faxing, even if there are a lot of trouble reports. Who can count the success stories with (analog) fax over IP, which are not posted? As far as I see, there are more users faxing without observing quality differences to ISDN than users with problems with fax over VoIP. This is, what various partners of ours do report after having replaced BRI connections by VoIP in some small and middle sized companies.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Unable to create channel of type 'Zap'
Hi rootlinux, I'm in Australia where we also uses crc4 on the span line, could you also show the relevant section of your zapata.conf? Looking at your extensions.conf excerpt, it is customary to group the b channels eg Dial(Zap/g1/12345678) and there should be an entry in zapata.conf under your channel definitions such as group=1. Also check that your context in zapata.conf matches the extensions.conf context you are trying to dial from.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] TxFax - RxFax on same machine hangs
Hi Bartek, I posted the exact same problem last week - I found that if I connected two Asterisk systems together via a PRI crossover cable and talk txfax to rxfax then you get a T4 state timeout. I tried connecting ports one and two together on a TE410p and also connecting a TE410p to a TE110p, and a TE110p to a TE110p on different machines. I also found this when looping back via the PSTN. I read up a bit on what T4 actually is, and it seems to be a pretty high level state, where the faxes are transferring or about to transfer the tiff image data between themselves. The faxes will eventually hangup on each other - if you do a zap destroy channel to force hangup then you will sometimes get a segfault and asterisk will crash. I haven't found a solution for it, but it's not a big problem for me as I was only going txfax to rxfax as part of testing something else and I am using a hardfax attached to a SIP ata instead that works just fine against both rxfax and txfax.

[Asterisk-Users] txfax spandsp
I've been using spandsp and rxfax to receive faxes for a while now and over the past few days I've looked into the other side of things - txfax. I can't seem to get it working properly. I've included debug logs below of both the tx and rx side of things. I've tried three different servers, asterisk v1.0.6, 1.0.9 and CVS, FC2 and FC4, libtiff 3.5.7 and 3.7.1, TE405P and TE110P cards, connected to each other via crossover cable (with rxfax as a fax client), the TE405P connected to itself (ports one and two crossover cable), and also connected to the PSTN with a hardfax on the other end. I always get the same errors. Would be very grateful if someone could give me some pointers or otherwise shed some light. The logs below are from spandsp 0.0.2 pre18 on CVS Head txfax talking to 0.0.2 pre18 on v1.0.9 stable rxfax.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Fritz PCI card in ptp mode with chan_misdn
Hi Eric, I did some work with the Fritz! card back in Feb / March this year. I used the mISDN drivers with chan_capi 0.3.5 and whilst it worked it wasn't particularly stable. Calls could be placed using chan_capi in PTP mode but incoming calls were not recognised in asterisk even though the mISDN driver seemed to be aware of the call (a capi debug showed the incoming call in PTP fine). I never used chan_mISDN myself although I did get an email from someone in Europe saying that he had successfully used the mISDN driver with chan_mISDN in PTP mode. Things may be different now with the latest chan_capi as I believe it has undergone significant changes since 0.3.5, I don't really know much about the differences in features between chan_capi and chan_misdn. I no longer have a BRI or Fritz! card available to me for testing and currently focus purely on PRI's and Zaptel.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Voicemail and MS Exchange Synchronization
We have hacked together an LDAP / IMAP based voicemail for Asterisk to
replace a legacy voicemail app for a client. We wrote it in Perl using the
Asterisk AGI interface and res_perl. It retrieves voicemail account
information from netscape LDAP directory server and retrieves voicemails
from Netscape Messaging Server using IMAP. It took about a week to write
the perl AGI.
The application doesn't use asterisk voicemail at all. When a call comes in
asterisk does an ldap lookup using ldapget and if it finds an account
associated with ${EXTEN} it hands the call off to the agi (using deadagi)
which retrieves all the account information, answers the call and starts to
playback the users greeting. If a message is left then the AGI will record
it and then email it to the users mailbox on Messaging Server. Pressing *
causes the voicemail box to prompt for the users pin number whereupon the
system then goes into a menu offering all the usual voicemail options.
For message retrieval the AGI gets the IMAP login information from LDAP,
logs into the users mailbox, retrieves all the subject lines for inbox and
counts the number of read and unread voicemails based on the subject line.
It then downloads voicemail attachments on demand and plays them back to the
caller. If the caller deletes a voicemail then the appropriate IMAP command
is sent to delete from the inbox. Conversely if the user deletes from the
email inbox then it will also disappear from Asterisk, seeing as Asterisk is
using the IMAP for the voicemail repository. Greeting files are stored
locally on the Asterisk server however they are also shared via NFS so
greetings are available to callers connecting to other servers.
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with exchange and AD utilising
IMAP and ldap respectively. There might be an issue logging directly into
users exchange mailboxes from IMAP cause I'm guessing the passwords may not
be available from AD but I'm sure there are ways around it.

Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Voicemail and MS Exchange Synchronization
(a) Has anyone cracked this nut (or started on it)?
Been there, done that.
No, really. I was the architect on the Premiere Tech, no PTECH,
Orchestrate system. www.orchestrate.com (pardon the plug, but I am not
endorsing one way or the other.)
I also did the MAPI work for Persona, but that was a TTS and Speech Reco
that read email and faxes, but I digress.
Yes, your are going to go mad doing it.
First.
You need an email specialist.
He must know POP, SMTP, IMAP and MAPI.
MAPI is not a misspelling of IMAP; it is the Microsoft
Messaging API.
MAPI is how you can control the Exchange Server and Clients.
You need to set up a admin account for the MAPI program to
have access to the Exchange server.
That is the easy part.
Then you create a program to watch all the mail coming through
the server. It will use the admin account and pass copies of messages to
Asterisk and insert messages from asterisk.
I suggest using the MAPI API to Exchange and a socket API,
POP/IMAP, to asterisk.
I built the aforementioned system buy using an UNIX email server
to receive messages. All incoming messages were sent to the UNIX mail
server. It had mail queues that could be intercepted, like an interrupt
call back routine, messages would arrive, be put into queues, and sent
for processing; convert email to speech via TTS, convert email to fax
and such.
The basic premises was that when the voicemail server, separate
program and server (there where 200+ voicemail servers), received a
voicemail it would create an email, put the voicemail file in it, or a
link to the voicemail file, to the UNIX email server that would note/log
the voicemail and pass it on to the exchange mail box.
When the user deletes an email in Exchange a MAPI Message is
sent back to the Exchange Server and watcher program will see the
Exchange server delete it. Depending on the rules, the watcher program
deletes the email or the voicemail or both, and so forth...
You could create an addition to asterisk to act as the watcher
program.
That is the general idea and it does work. If you plan on doing
TTS you are looking at 5 to 6 seconds of real-time to convert 1 sec of
email to 1 second of voicemail.
(b) Anyone interested if we post a bounty?
If anyone does take the bounty I am available to consult for
them. But I don't have time to create the entire work.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] IRQ Problems
I put a TE110P in a 750 and got lots of scratchy audio and hdlc errors, missed interrupts I presume. Anyway, I found I had to do the following in order to get good audio quality and successful spandsp: Disable Hyperthreading Put TDM card in bottom slot (The 3.3v slot). If you specify SATA raid or SCSI the controller will occupy this slot and YMMV, during testing I had significantly more audio issues with the TE110P in the top slot. Compile SMP kernel to get APIC interrupt support (I have a DRAC card in this server that takes 3 interrupts, 2 of which it shared with the TDM card with a uniprocessor kernel). Runlevel 3 (ie no X-windows) You cannot unload the zaptel driver once loaded as it hangs the machine. We do a shutdown without unloading the driver and power cycle using the DRAC card) Dell DRAC card uses VNC for remote console access (even in runlevel 3) which is pretty useless. Enable telnet on the DRAC card for console access.
