Re: [asterisk-users] PRI T1 Problems

2007-05-02 Thread Michael Welter

Unless you're in China, you should advertise you telephone number as:
+1 863 248 1195

Is your provider Quest or Qwest?  Have you removed the disconnected 
numbers from your dial plan?


[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Sorry for disturbing you, but we have some problems with an installation 
with multiple (84) T1s from Quest.

Now, our Problem is disconnected numbers are reported by sending in-
band channel alert message and the B-Channel will have the tri tone and 
respective message but the line is never picked up and stays in ringing 
when dialling. So disconnected numbers are never detected as 
disconnected numbers.
We tried this with digium and sangoma cards and the results are the same. 
Quest offered us a audible treatment of the line which made things even 
worse and would block the B-Channel for playing the message without 
asterisk being aware that the channel is still used.

Otherwise we have a huge problem with congestion due to unavailable B-
Channels when the number of connections in asterisk does not match the 
number of used channels / channels stay blocked after they have been 
hung up for several seconds, again this seems to be mostly the problems 
when b-channels carry audible alert messages.


Thanks for any good suggestions!

Re: [asterisk-users] PoE - IEEE 802.3af

2007-03-28 Thread Michael Welter
You don't need to change any wiring.  Just be sure that the LAN wiring 
terminates at a PoE LAN switch (PoE would not be passed through an 
intermediate switch).


You will get an AC adapter with your phone.  If the phone fails to power 
up, you can plug the adapter into the thingie in the PoE cable (not the 
phone).


Also, the IP601 has a 24V AC adapter while the IP501 has a 12V adapter.

Hi,
 
I'm not clear on how to use Power--over-Ethernet, specifically with 
Polycom phones.
 
What I understand, is that by buying the Polycom 501 with the 802.3af 
cable bundle, I simply connect my phone, through the Polycom provided 
special RJ-45 cable, into a PoE capable switch, and voilà!
 
Is this true?  And if so, what happens when the Phone doesn't 
connect directly to the switch? (let`s say there is wiring in the wall 
that goes to a patch panel, for example.  Do I need to change all the 
wiring in the office?)

Re: [asterisk-users] Looking for starting point?

2007-02-18 Thread Michael Welter

Go to your book store and get the Fedora/Linux reference.

Get yourself a PC with 20GB drives, a CD burner, and decent ram.  The PC 
should have either an i386 or x86_64 processor.  If you'll be purchasing 
a PC, go to the computer store, purchase the piece parts, and assemble 
it yourself (I like Athlon CPUs).


Since you have a PC and were able to post a message, go to 
http://fedora.redhat.com and follow the links to Documentation and then 
to Download.  Follow the link for your PC's architecture (i386 or 
x86_64) and then download the six ISO images.  Burn each image to a CD.


Install Linux.  Take all the defaults.  Load all packages.

When it's running, login as root and open the browser. Go to 
http://asterisk.org .  Take the download tab and download the five 
Asterisk 1.2 tar files into directory /usr/src.


'cd' to /usr/src.

Use 'tar xzf file' on each of the downloaded files.

Enter the zaptel directory and execute 'make', check for errors, and 
then 'make install' and 'make config'.


Enter the libpri directory and execute 'make;make install'.

Enter the asterisk directory and execute 'make', 'make install', and 
'make samples'.


Enter the asterisk-addons directory and execute 'make' and then 'make 
install'


Enter the asterisk-sounds directory and execute 'make install'.

Execute 'service zaptel start'--this will load the zap drivers.  These 
will also load on reboot.


Execute 'asterisk -c'.  This will start Asterisk.

N.B.  People spend years between step #1 and a running Asterisk system.

For help with asterisk, google on 'site:lists.digium.com search 
words'.  For the wiki, google on 'site:voip-info.org search words'. 
The wiki is most helpful.


Keep a blog of your experience and let other newbies learn from you.  :=)

Hi,

I am a retired telephone tech/manager who recently had a bad experience 
with a local company offering digital phone service (VoIP). I have spent 
the last thirty years in the PSTN network, switching, PBX and key system 
field and am interested in learning more about VoIP. My background also 
includes programming, mostly specialized applications to interact with 
the PSTN network. Most of my experience in this field have been with 
Borland products, specifically Delphi. I also have been involved with 
database programming, same platform as the communications.


My computer experience started with the operating system CPM (I’m not 
really that old, only 56). The best platform now seems to be ƒ so 
now since I am retired now, it seems a good time to learn something new. 
I also have been looking at Asterisk which most companies seem to be 
using for a PBX platform. I found out by accident that the local company 
I had the problem with uses this PBX software.


Could someone steer me in the right direction as to where to start? I 
spent most of my career in the telephone industry in a ‘bush’ area of 
Alaska so pretty much had to teach myself what I needed to know about 
computers but I can learn almost anything from a book and by asking 
questions when I get stuck. Most of my experience was before the 
Internet so I plan on using this avenue to advance my knowledge.


I understand what a broad scope I am asking about so would appreciate 
any tips to help me get started. Since there are many ‘brands’ of Linux 
what is the best one to start with? Which Linux will be better when I 
get to the point of working with Asterisk? Any tips or ideas on book s, 
online tutors, discussions or anything of this nature would be much 
appreciated.


I hope to add to this group if I can be any assistance from the ‘other 
side’, the PSTN network.


Thank You,

Gary H. Thompson

Re: [asterisk-users] Diagnosing poor call quality

2007-02-07 Thread Michael Welter
The advertised datarate (8mb/448k) are the speeds at which the circuit 
between the customer and the central office is clocked and has no 
relationship with *effective* throughput.  At the central office are 
*shared* facilities than connects each DSL connection with the network, 
and over subscription to these shared facilities cause congestion. 
Also, there is no QoS on the Internet, and congestion anywhere between 
the end points will cause poor call quality.


Disclaimer: The following information is several months old--I've since 
moved my customers away from Qwest DSL.


Here in Denver we have Qwest DSL service from a central office where 
the effective throughput drops to dialup speeds during the day.  Regular 
web/email users don't usually notice packet loss because dropped packets 
are recovered by the TCP protocol.  For VoIP on UDP, however, the call 
quality suffers to the point of being unusable (clicking, popping, and 
dropouts).


Furthermore, Qwest doesn't have Denver peering with the rest of the 
Internet.  To leave the Qwest network, connections typically go to DAL, 
LAX, or SFO on congested circuits.


So beware of VoIP over DSL.  Your users need to be aware of the 
tradeoffs between the cost of DSL vs. T1 and the effect on call quality.


Chris, if your customers are in the western US then please contact me 
about dedicated circuits.


Chris Bagnall wrote:

Greetings list,

We have an issue with call quality at 2 sites where the users (4 Elmeg
IP290s at one site, 2 SPA942s at the other) do not have an asterisk box
on-site. Each site has an 8mb down/448k up ADSL connection and the phones
connect via SIP to an asterisk box in a datacentre using g729.

The asterisk box in the datacentre connects to our other asterisk boxes
providing pstn connectivity via IAX2. Latency between these boxes is between
1 and 2ms. The ADSL connections to the client sites are all consistently
delivering latencies of sub-25ms to the datacentre and there is traffic
shaping on that connection to give priority to any traffic from the phones'
IPs.

Comments from the users at these sites are as follows:
call sounded like a dalek and I couldn't make out anything the caller was
saying
the phone on my desk is breaking up so badly it's virtually unusable
calls sound like they're breaking up with metallic background noises

We have quite a few customers with asterisk boxes on-site (with phones
connected to them via the LAN) using ADSL connections from the same
supplier, and are not having these issues with them.

canreinvite=no and nat=yes are set on all these devices, since they are
behind NAT. Each device re-registers with asterisk every 5 minutes to
prevent any possible NAT state timeouts.

Any pointers/places to look for potential problems would be much
appreciated.

Chris

[asterisk-users] One-way audio after several minutes 1.4.0

2007-01-30 Thread Michael Welter
Three sites are experiencing ~10sec period of one-way audio.  This 
happens several minutes into the call, and it is very intermittent 
(infrequent).  It does not happen on inter-office calls but only on 
calls to/from the PSTN.


Occasionally, a spurt of white noise precedes the drop-out much like a 
cell phone drop-out.


One site uses one port of a Sangoma A102X (PCI-X).  Another site uses a 
TE110P.  The third site uses a TDM04B (with a TDM10B for the fax 
machine).  All sites operate normally except for this intermittent problem.


Each machine has its USB drivers removed, and there is no sharing of 
interrupts.  I've set interrupt latency on the NICs down to 32.


These machines are dedicated to Asterisk, and there are no other server 
processes (web, mail, etc.).


I was thinking interrupt starvation on the PCI cards.  We upgraded one 
site from a Dell desktop to a Dell server (with A102X), and the problem 
mostly went away but did occur twice on Monday.


The commonality between all sites is Asterisk/Zaptel 1.4.0.  The TDM04B 
site started reporting this problem after the upgrade to 1.4.0.


Thoughts?

[asterisk-users] TDD/TTY device for the deaf

2006-11-18 Thread Michael Welter
I have a client who would like to install a TTY device in their office. 
They have a Asterisk PBX with a CBeyond T1 to the PSTN, and the system 
uses the CBeyond SIPConnect facility for PSTN voice calls.


The TTY device would connect with a TDM10B (FXS) card and have its own 
DID number.


I believe the protocol between the calling TTY and the local TTY is FSK. 
 In any case, would two TTY devices be able to communicate over an RTP 
stream using g711?


Or should the TTY device be attached to a POTS circuit away from the PBX?

The attendant is doing it incorrectly.  Pressing the hold button isn't

The attendant attempts an attended call transfer (all phones are IP501). 
 The attendant pushes hold, transfer, dials the extension and 
announces the call.  When the attendant pushes transfer the second 
time, the original call is lost.


The reason this is a big problem is that the PRI channel for the call 
remains busy.  Subsequent inbound calls on that channel are rejected.


Asterisk 1.2.12.1, Polycom SIP 1.6.6.

[asterisk-users] PRI channel hangup

2006-09-11 Thread Michael Welter
There was activity in late 2005 concerning PRI channel lockups.   The 
telco sends a call to channel n, but Asterisk thinks channel n is 
busy and rejects the call.  There was an entry in the bug tracker and 
chatter on the list.


Has this problem been resolved?  I have two accounts experiencing 
periodic channel hangs--one account on an Eschelon PRI and the other on 
a Nortel PRI.  One account is on Asterisk v1.2.9.1 and the other v1.2.7.1 .

[asterisk-users] Deadlock

2006-09-05 Thread Michael Welter

(I'm getting 404 Not Found from the search engines)

I have a system that gets a deadlock every week or so.  On the logs I 
have many channel.c:787 channel_find_locked avoided deadlock for 
0x837730 messages.


The system has an Eschelon T1 with 6 voice (with dchan) arriving on a 
TE110P.  Asterisk 1.2.7.1, Linux FC5.  The system also has a TDM30B 
card.  The phones are IP501.


During the deadlock period, outbound calls are ok.  However, an inbound 
call (on channel two) is rejected because Asterisk thinks the channel is 
in use.


There are no call queues on this system.  I see a deadlock bug, but it 
has to do with queues.


Can someone shed some light on this situation?

Thanks,

P.S.  This system often fails to reboot properly.  zaptel doesn't load 
correctly, and Asterisk goes into continual restart.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk server crashes after two years

2006-08-31 Thread Michael Welter
My Asterisk colo server has been up for almost two years.  Today it 
crashed.  When I gave the reboot command, it crashed so hard that it had 
to be power cycled.  I wasn't in attendance, but I can speculate that it 
had a kernel panic during the shutdown.


Yesterday I added a PHP agi script, and it had been user over 1000 times 
before the crash.  I don't think the Linux/Asterisk crash is coincidental.


Can someone give me things to look for?  I'm watching memory, and it has 
750MB free (out of 1GB).  When I restart Asterisk, I see 19 
processes--is this normal?  What else should I be doing to narrow down 
on this problem.


Thanks for your help.

Re: [asterisk-users] Polycom, TFTP, and DHCP

2006-07-12 Thread Michael Welter



Kevin Smith wrote:

Michael,

Maybe I am not understanding your question, are you saying that when you 
configure your phone with a static IP address, you cannot find the boot 
server and when in DHCP you can? 


The phone uses DHCP to get its IP address.  In the phone's server 
params, I enter the IP address of the tftp server.  Without the 
next-server entry in the DHCP configs, the phone says it cannot find 
the boot server (and uses the previous configuration).  However, when 
next-server in DHCP is set with the tftp IP, the phone loads its 
configuration from tftp and boots normally.


I'd like to not have to set the tftp address in DHCP, because I don't 
always have access to the DHCP server.  Is there someway to tell the 
phone to override the DHCP server setting?  Is there something I'm 
missing with the phone's network config?


Thanks

If you are having problems with the
phone having a static IP address, make sure it is getting the correct 
IP, subnet, gateway and DNS. If your DNS is incorrect for example, you 
won't be able to find the server you entered, since there will be 
nothing to point the phone where to go.


If you are talking about the actual boot server location, that needs to 
be static as far as I know. It isn't like DHCP addressing where it gets 
the DNS information from the host. It's a parameter that needs to be 
set. If your TFTP server is changing IPs I would strongly suggest giving 
it a static IP. It will make your life a lot easier.

[asterisk-users] Polycom, TFTP, and DHCP

2006-07-11 Thread Michael Welter
When I set the tftp address into the IP501 server parameters and boot, 
the phone says it says it cannot find the boot loader and reuses the 
previous configuration.  When I set the tftp address in DHCP and reboot 
the phone, it finds the tftp server and loads correctly.


My problem is that I don't always have control of the DHCP server.

Is there a way to set the phone to find the tftp server on its own?

Thanks

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom 601 question

2006-06-25 Thread Michael Welter
Are you using PoE?  I had two PoE IP501s on long LAN runs, and the 
phones would periodically reboot.  I plugged an AC adapter into the 
phone (with PoE) and everything is fine.


Kevin Smith wrote:

Hey everyone,

I know this isn't a direct Asterisk issue, but some of you may know this 
answer.


I recently upgraded the SIP version to 1.6.6 on all of our phones in the 
office. Everything is working fine, except one aspect. The phones in the 
office reboot randomly for no apparent reason. I haven't changed 
anything in the configuration files since the upgrade. The only setting 
in the sip.conf file that I can think would cause this problem is 
voIpPort.SIP.specialEvent.checkSync.alwaysReboot=0


Which is to me is fine, I wouldn't want the phones to reboot unless I 
did change something in the configuration files.


Any other thoughts as to what may have caused the phone to reboot?

Thanks,
Kevin

Is there a way to reduce the gain on the handset mic?

Erick Baum wrote:
So far, pretty much every firmware upgrade has been an improvement in 
one way or another.  They're running 1.1.0.13 http://1.1.0.13 now

but usually only when the handset volume is up pretty high.  I think 
it's a hardware problem where the handset microphone is actually picking 
up the handset speaker audio when it gets real loud.
 
If you do get these phones, I would make it very clear to your customers 
that this is a very inexpensive phone, aka CHEAP.  So don't be surprised 
if you have some problems every once in a while.  But they do have some 
great features that you only find in more expensive phones and some 
features even the big boys don't have.  They especially work well 
remotely, extremely nat friendly... which I cannot say for the Cisco's 
or Polycom's.

  You're basically telling me that I should tell my client to buy other

  However, the fact is that my client just recently invested in these
  and it will be hard, if not impossible, for me to tell my client to
  swap them for Polycoms or something else at a much higher cost.
 
  I have heard complaints from my client about the speakerphone and
  they are now, I guess, getting used to picking up the handset :). I
  have heard any echo problems so far. What bothers me the most is
that
  the phone stops working often (multiple times per day). By this I
  mean that my client won't be able to dial anything successfully. As
  soon as 3 or 4 digits are entered, they get a fast busy. To solve
it,
  they need to reboot it. It sounds as if these phones were running
  Windows instead of Linux :)
 
  Anyway, what firmware did you use that solved so many of your
problems?

I've only had bad experiences with these phones and steer clear of
them.

In the same price range you can now get the Thomson ST-2030 or Polycom
430 for a much, much better user experience.

[Asterisk-Users] SIP Delayed Answer

2006-06-01 Thread Michael Welter
I have an Asterisk system connected with a CLEC that provides SIP 
termination.  When placing calls from phones on the Astersik system to 
the PSTN, the calling party hears ringing while the called party is 
saying hello.


The problem appears to happen when calling a POTS line.  The problem 
does not seem to occur when calling a PSTN number on a T1 circuit, nor 
does it occur on inter-office calls.


When I listen to the Monitor recordings, I hear ringing and then the 
called party saying hello? hello? hello? while the calling party hears 
ringing.  Is the ringing that the calling party hears generated by 
Asterisk and not the ringing in the received audio stream?


Would this problem occur if the 200 (OK) message were delayed for any 
reason?  Does Asterisk wait for the 200 message before it connects the 
received RTP stream with the calling party?


Thanks,


Asterisk v1.2.4

2006-04-14 Thread Michael Welter
When I review all the proposals I have submitted, I realize that I 
hardly ever sell to a prospect that has an IT staff, especially a staff 
of one guy who knows absolutely everything.  Now my proposals to such 
prospects are nothing more than a brief description of functionality and 
the pricing--no more DIY manuals.  I no longer mention brand names or my 
supplier names.


I've also begun requiring an up-front payment for additional equipment, 
especially telephone sets.  Some customers ask for terms, to which I say 
Does Home Depot give you terms?.  I've been able to significantly 
reduce my receivables with this policy.


When consulting with a company with an established presence in the 
community, you really have to give then Net30, especially if they have a 
formal accounts payable policy.  For telephone consulting, you first 
need the client to demonstrate his willingness to pay, even if its just 
$100.

That's the nature of consulting - you have to balance demonstrating 
competency with solving the problem before being paid.  We've had many 
similar experiences, and we now require prepayment for 2 hrs service 
before we do any work (or even talk to the client for more than a 
few minutes).  (Despite attempts by potential clients to make the sales 
call into a problem solving call).  We have undoubtedly lost potential 
opportunities, but our walk away with free advice effort has been 
almost eliminated.
 
The same goes for proposals.  I can't count the number of times our 
proposals have become a do-it-yourselfer's guide to setting things up by 
themselves.  I think it's great if customers want to do it themselves, 
but don't waste our time!
 
I understand of course that it's tough for users too.  There are lots of 
self proclaimed experts on the list who after hours of billed time have 
done nothing for their money (we've cleaned up after lots of those folks 
too).  These are usually the same people sending out flame emails about 
how smart they are and how stupid everyone else is.

Hi everybody,

I would like to  be  awareabout what happened to me.
Two weeks ago, on a Sunday morning a French guy called me. Ask me to fix 
some problems  with his asterisk. After fixing  his problem, he asked  
more and more, after 10 hours of work I ask him to pay me for the first 
milestone. However, lucky me that I did not finish, since he never paid me.
Be afraid and take your action if some french guy wants to hire you to 
do some trunking with  the Philippines.



Hope, that this can help someone.

See you

[Asterisk-Users] Jitter in SIP connection

2006-04-06 Thread Michael Welter
I'm experiencing a very strange problem with SIP calls with a CLEC 
(CBeyond).  The downstream audio with the telephone on mute is 
excellent.  However, when there is upstream audio (i.e., breathing) from 
the mic, the downstream audio is clipped and sometimes dropped.


The strange thing is, if I Monitor the call, the downstream audio in the 
wav file is perfect, even though there was clipping and drop-outs in 
real time.


Is this a case of jitter?  What are the symptoms of jitter?  Does jitter 
resolve itself in the wav file?  Does chan_sip have a jitter buffer yet?


When I move the calls to another ITSP, I don't have clipping and 
drop-outs, so I'm assuming the problem is not with the Asterisk system 
or the telephones.


The Asterisk version is 1.2.5.  The phones are Polycom, Cisco, and 
Grandstream.


I've checked my NIC connections and everything is full duplex.

Thanks for your help.

[Asterisk-Users] Incorrect CDR results

2006-04-01 Thread Michael Welter
When I look at my CDR data for calls to NuFone, the billsec for each 
call is 14 seconds or less.  When I look at my NuFone account, the 
billsec has normal call lengths.


So it seems that the billing on the Asterisk system terminates after 
about 14 seconds.  The calls come in on an IAX connection and go out to 
NuFone on IAX.  Are these calls bridging away from the Asterisk server? 
 How can I get accurate billing data?


I tried to Google the archives but I'm still getting page not found.

Thanks

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: How is Teliax ?

2006-03-31 Thread Michael Welter
You cannot criticize Teliax until you investigate how your calls are 
getting to them.


I have a customer on 17th St. in downtown Denver who use Qwest.net as 
their ISP.  They use Teliax (on 16th St.) as their ITSP.  Piece of cake, 
right?


This may have changed recently, but Qwest doesn't have any peering 
arrangements in Denver (!), so, to get to the rest of the Internet, 
Qwest traffic is routed over a very congested circuit to Dallas where it 
has a peering arrangement with Sprint.


For the ordinary Internet user, this trip to Dallas using TCP won't be 
noticed.  The TCP protocol will resend any dropped packets.


For my VoIP customer having UDP packets dropped at congested routers in 
Dallas, it's a disaster.  This VoIP connection between Qwest.net and 
Teliax is not suitable for VoIP, and it's not the fault of Teliax.


Having said all that, I see where Teliax have installed the voip-co4 
host on Viawest.  Are you using that host for your analysis?

If you used SIP instead of IAX2 with Teliax you will have better 
quality calls.

 The 'choppy' sound occurs with IAX2 and not SIP at Teliax.
I can recommend Teliax, but use SIP.


But I _am_ using SIP. I tried all the various teliax gateways including 
the beta test ones and had choppiness with all of them.


As I said before, teliax origination had no choppiness problems at all. 
Only termination had issues.


I had no problems - termination or origination - with junction networks, 
despite the fact they had 3x higher latency than teliax. JN is more 
expensive than teliax though.


Also, I have talked to others who had similar choppiness problems with 
teliax. So it's not just me.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] multiple auto attendants

2006-03-31 Thread Michael Welter
We're assuming you will use a T1 (or E1) for your PSTN interface.  If 
you're using POTS lines then there will be no information about which 
number was called--you'll need a separate POTS line(s) for each tenant.


We have multiple tenants on our hosted PBX without problem.



  I was given the task to try and build a VOIP solution to an office
building with multiple tenants in all sizes and shapes. Some of them
will require auto attendants and some will simply want direct lines to
their phones.
The question I have is: Can asterisk be configured to handle multiple
auto attendants?

[Asterisk-Users] SIP - Problem with audio clipping

2006-03-23 Thread Michael Welter
Using a SIP connection with a CLEC, the downstream (received) audio is 
perfect when the mute button is activated on the phone.  However, when 
there is upstream audio (i.e., talking or even breathing into the 
microphone), the downstream audio is cut off.  It's kinda like having a 
half-duplex audio connection.


When I divert outgoing calls to another provider, these calls are fine. 
 However, the inbound calls from the CLEC continue to have clipped audio.


This happens with Polycom, Cisco, and Grandstream phones, so I don't 
believe it's a phone problem.


I have this problem with two different Asterisk system using the same 
CLEC.  One is * v1.2.4 and the other is v1.2.5.  The systems have 
totally different motherboards.


Has anyone had a similar problem, and what was the cause?

Thanks,

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Analog Desktop Phone

2006-03-10 Thread Michael Welter
My customer with Cortelco phones is *very* unhappy.  They expected 
Polycom speaker phone quality on a crap $50 phone.  The only reason I 
didn't have to take the phones back is because the IT guy that ordered 
this system quit the company.


My first Asterisk system dates back to early 2003.  That customer has an 
Adtran 750 w/ Office Depot analog phones.  That system is still in 
place, unchanged.  Today, I could install that same system at a lesser 
price using decent SIP phones.  With the GXS2000 at $82,  what 
justification is there to install analog phones on a channel bank?


If you have unlimited time to deal with an aggravated customers, then go 
for the Cortelco/analog solution.  If you want a happy customer, install 
SIP phones.


Today, I installed a dozen Polycom IP501s into an existing customer for 
$2500.  I made a few bucks and the customer is proud of the high tech 
instrument (and great speaker phone) on his desk.  Why would you, as a 
vendor, want anything else?  Also, they *love* the buddy list with presence.


Mike

P.S.  Installing phones into a hotel is a different matter.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom 501 power over ethernet

2006-03-05 Thread Michael Welter
As I understand 802.3af, the phones go through a negotiation with the 
unit supplying the power.  I don't think it's a matter of -48VDC on a 
particular pair.  I remember a schematic from years ago--it had each of 
the receive pair and the transmit pair going into a transformer winding, 
 and that winding had a center tap for PoE.  This is not something that 
*I* am going to screw with.


The IP501 telephone set is the same for both PoE and local power.  With 
the PoE cable, the 802.3af electronics (the negotiator) is a plastic 
thing in the cable.  For the local power, there is a plastic thingie 
toward the wall end of the cable, and you plug the wall wart into the 
plastic thingie.  Notice the advanced technical jargon here


With local power, there is still only one cable one the desk--the power 
plugs into the cable towards the wall.  Except for a power interruption, 
this has all the advantages of PoE.

[Asterisk-Users] Multi node call center

2006-03-03 Thread Michael Welter
Are there any issues with having call queues and agents spread across 
two (or more) Asterisk systems?  We would have a trunked IAX connection 
between systems, and the agents would use SIP phones.  All agents are 
multilingual.


One system would be on the West coast and another in Europe?  Agents 
from different time zones signing on in their morning and signing off in 
their evening.  The call center itself running 24/7.


Issues?

Thanks,

RX Gains too high
IRQ sharing of the of the ZAP device


There is no ZAP device (it is a SIP-only implementation) and there are
no interrupts being shared.


High load of the machine


The machine is totally idle.

The T1 vendor noticed 2% packet loss during a ping flood originating
from outside.  We changed the Cisco IAD, and there is no longer packet
loss, but we still have the clipping.

I've noted from employees that the volumes levels on the phones 
themselves, when set too high will cause crackling.  Does the crackling 
coincide with talking on the local side?


What firmware are you running on the Polycoms?


I'm not on site, but I remember 1.6.4.

It's not really crackling or popping that's the problem.  The problem is
with dropouts.  It also seems that the trailing edge of each word will
sometimes be lost (possibly a dropout).

If you're familiar with the WWV time signal (303-499-7111), for the
first 45 minutes of each hour there is a tone interrupted by a click
every second (during the last 15 minutes it's just the clicks).  When I
listen to this on the Asterisk system, the tone only lasts for a
fraction of a second and then silence until the next click.

Is the phone (or Asterisk) performing echo suppression that drops the
last part of the tone?

Also, there are no ZAP cards in the system.  What timing source does SIP
use to play the incoming media stream?

Thanks for your comments, Doug.

Yes , ztdummy is running.

I'm going to (temporarily) put a TDM card in the system just to 
eliminate that possibility.

[Asterisk-Users] Call quality problems

2006-02-24 Thread Michael Welter
I'm having difficulty with an Asterisk system.  The external party has 
very good call quality, but the internal party hears clipping and drop outs.


The WAN comes in from the Cisco IAD and into a LAN switch (DLink 
DGS-1005D w/ 802.1p) where the two public IPs are switched to different 
devices.  One device is a FireBox device controlling a separate LAN with 
VPNs.  The other device is eth0 on the Asterisk system.


On the Asterisk eth1 is a 3Com 2226 LAN switch which connects Polycom 
IP501 phones.  There are no PCs on this voice LAN.  All ports on all LAN 
switches indicate full duplex.  The quality problem doesn't appear to be 
volume related (a single call still has problems).


The Polycom IP501s use SIP to the PBX, and the PBX uses SIP to the provider.

The normal WWV time signal consists of a constant tone that is 
interrupted every second by a click.  On the Polycom, each click can be 
heard, the tone starts, but the tone is clipped and there is silence 
until the next click.


I've verified that QoS is enabled in the IAD.

I would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks,

[Asterisk-Users] GPS-enabled cell phone/PDA

2006-02-23 Thread Michael Welter
I would like to capture the lat/lon coordinates from a GPS-enabled cell 
phone or PDA.  Is this possible?  Must I subscribe to this information 
from the cellphone network provider, or can I capture it without charge?


What devices will broadcast the coordinates?  Is there a device that 
will broadcast its position inband that can be captured by Asterisk? 
Can an SMS message include coordinates?


The subject will willingly carry the device and will be aware that his 
location is being monitored, so privacy rights are not an issue.  The 
subject will make periodic calls to the Asterisk server in order to 
record his movements.


Does anyone have experience in this area?

Thanks,
Mike

I am using [EMAIL PROTECTED] v2.2 and the gxp2000 is using default firmware

Do I need something more just to browse to these configuration pages in

[Asterisk-Users] Toll-free number on a PRI

2005-12-06 Thread Michael Welter
I have a toll-free number that is mapped to the main number of my PRI. 
When a call arrives, the called number is the main number, not the 
toll-free number.


The PRI vendor is ICG, and they're saying the number gets mapped to the 
main number.  I'm saying I want to see the toll-free number.  Can they 
do this?  What happens when I get a second toll-free number for a 
different business--will I be able to differentiate the called number?

What is your port density requirement?

For 24 ports the LinkSys SRW2024 is awesome.
They street for less than $500 and have good QoS.
For a smaller switch, they make a 12 port variant.

After answer, a few rtp frames are being sent from sip_write to the 
NATed address of the phone (192.168.1.43) and are being rejected.  After 
that, rtp frames are correctly sent to the public address of the phone's 
firewall, and the conversation is normal.


Can anyone offer some insight?  Do I need to move to asterisk-1.2 before 
I go any further?

[Asterisk-Users] PRI HDLC abort on dchan

2005-11-15 Thread Michael Welter
I used sftp to move the RC2 files to my * server.  During the whole time 
of the transfer, asterisk continuously reported:


Nov 15 20:09:15 NOTICE[27290]: chan_zap.c:7395 pri_dchannel: PRI got 
event: HDLC Abort (6) on Primary D-channel of span 1


I ran top during that time, and there was no significant cpu usage.

The system uses Asterisk 1.0.7.  The cpu is an Opteron on a Tyan 
motherboard.


Can anyone explain this?

[Asterisk-Users] Notices at beginning of call

2005-11-13 Thread Michael Welter
I get 8 to 12 of these messages at the beginning of a call to a Cisco 
7940 SIP phone:


Nov 13 17:27:56 NOTICE[27203]: rtp.c:1146 ast_rtp_raw_write: RTP 
Transmission error to 192.168.1.254:32472: Operation not permitted


Other than these messages, the call proceeds normally.

From the code I see Asterisk is attempting to send DTMF digits.

In SIPDefault.cnf I have dtmf_inband: 1

In sip.conf I have tried dtmfmode=rfc2833, dtmfmode=inband, and 
dtmfmode=info.


Asterisk 1.0.7.

What is confusing is that these messages started appearing this past 
week with no apparent changes to the configs.


Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,

[Asterisk-Users] SIP Registration from Verizon DSL

2005-11-10 Thread Michael Welter
I have a client who is unable to register her SJPhone on my Asterisk 
server.  She is using a Westell DSL router connected to Verizon.  Others 
in her group, using cable modems, are able to register.  The group is 
located in the Dallas area.


Is Verizon still blocking SIP registrations?

Is there something about the Westell that needs to be changed?  From 
what the client says, outbound traffic is unlimited.  In sip.conf, I 
have nat=yes and qualify=yes.


Thanks

[Asterisk-Users] IAX channel options

2005-10-28 Thread Michael Welter
I have an installation with four Qwest POTS lines.  For some unknown 
reason, Qwest drops the first digit in the dial string, and the call 
fails.  To fix that problem, I put a 'W' in the dial string:


QWEST=Zap/g2

exten = _9303NXX,1,Dial(${QWEST}/W${EXTEN:1})

The client has since complained that, when all four lines are busy, he 
cannot make a local call.  So I provided the ability to roll over to 
another system to complete the call:


TELECOMMATTERS=IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

exten = _9303NXX,1,ChanIsAvail(${QWEST}${TELECOMMATTERS})
exten = _9303NXX,2,Cut(MYCHANNEL=AVAILCHAN,,1)
exten = _9303NXX,3,Dial(${MYCHANNEL}/W${EXTEN:1})
exten = _9303NXX,4,Hangup
exten = _9303NXX,102,Congestion

This works fine for the Qwest line, but Asterisk doesn't absorb the 'W' 
for the IAX call--the 'W' is sent as part of the dial string.


Is there a solution for this?

TIA

List users,

Over the last few days we have been working with MCI's development lab 
to test our Asterisk setup.  We were using a piece of hardware called an 
Abacus 5000 that is capable of creating and terminating thousands of SIP 
calls.  Initially, we could not get past 64 simultaneous digitally 
recorded calls without having call quality issues including dropped 
calls.  We identified an I/O bottleneck and rectified it by digitally 
recording to a RAM disk.  Using this method, we were able to digitally 
record 512 simultaneous SIP-to-SIP calls with 100% call completion.


Our plan is to use the MONITOR_EXEC hook to call a custom program that 
will copy files to the hard disk at call completion.



Matt,

Interesting stuff. Did you test copying of the recordings on the ramdisk
to a local harddisk also during that 512 call load? Just wondering if
that copy action wouldn't also create an I/O bottleneck and cause call
quality issues under load. Did you consider using remote storage e.g.
via nfs, a fibre channel or iSCSI link to a SAN?



I use 3Ware RAID cards in my systems with write cache turned on.  I'm 
wondering if this presents a reduced interrupt load on the system than 
directly-attached hard drives?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] unlocking cisco 7940 phone

2005-09-19 Thread Michael Welter

I got five of these doctor's phones as well.

You need your server set-up with dhcp and tftp.  In the tftp directory, 
you'll need files SIPmac.cnf and SIPDefault.cnf available.  You'll 
also need the current SIP firmware load.


Then, you have to let the phone power up, then enter the password 
'cisco', the go to settings-3-28 (remove config) and also -25 to 
enable DHCP.  Then hit 'yes'.


If your files are ok then the phone will reboot, upgrade its firmware, 
and read the new configuration.


I performed this procedure five times this morning and it worked every time!

5¢ please  :-)

I just had to do one the other day; the phone shipped with mgcp installed
with some Doctors name appearing on the screen. It had been locked down
pretty tight.

The only way that I could do it is to use a sniffer (eg, ethereal) to
see the IP addresses it was trying to reach.

I then put the phone on a network that had a linux server with that
exact addressd on it. The phone happily read the tftp files that I
had prestaged on the linux server, and upgraded itself to the sip image.

The upgrade process wiped out all passwords, etc, and reset the phone
to factory defaults for sip (except for the password, which I specified
in a tftp config file).

Once that was done, I could access the phone menues just fine and reset
everything to the way that I wanted it.

If you're not comfortable reading packet traces, then you'll probably
have to send the phone to someone that is.

[Asterisk-Users] Fax-Email for Hosted PBX

2005-09-15 Thread Michael Welter
I'm proposing to install an Asterisk PBX at a collocation facility for a 
remote customer.  Each of the customer locations will have an SPA-3000 
with the FXO port connecting a POTS circuit and the FXS port connecting 
a fax machine or red phone.


In addition to voice traffic, the customer has a high volume of incoming 
and outgoing faxes.


Would it be possible, using g711 between the SPA-3000 and server, to 
have spandsp/rxfax receive a fax from the POTS circuit via the SPA-3000? 
 From the locally attached fax machine?  (I realize that packet loss 
will have a adverse effect on fax transmissions.)


Would I be better-off attaching the fax machines to a Mediatrix 2102?

Any help is appreciated.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Hotel Setup?

2005-09-12 Thread Michael Welter
Have you seen the 3Com LAN-switch-in-a-wall-jack device?  It's a four 
port device that could also be used for the guest's PC.  It can supply 
PoE to the phone using a wall wart or PoE on the incoming LAN circuit.


You'll need some logic between Asterisk's management interace and the 
property management system's (PMS) telephone interface.  The PMS will 
expect call detail to be received in real time.


Depending on the PMS, outside calling is switched on during checkin and 
switched off upon checkout.  Some PMS restrict toll calls if non-adults 
occupy the room.  Also, some PMS have certain codes that the maids (and 
supervisors) dial from the room to indicate availability.  And the staff 
need to be aware of any 9-1-1 calls.


You'll have to be able to empty a room's voice mailbox upon checkin. 
And some properties want the guest's name in the caller id.


So it's not simply putting a SIP phone in the room...

I have a serious problem with more hardware in each room.  More things to

You can't depend on the customer to do the right thing.  Ever.  In fact,
count on them doing the wrong thing.  All the time :-)

On a sidenote, I would like to know how using a port based PVLAN setup and

low, prepare itself for shutdown and then tell the APC to kill its 
output. When power returns the APC will turn outpput back on and the 
linux server boots gracefully.


When buying CPU I usually go with the retail boxed instead of OEM. It 
doesn't cost much more. It includes the cooler along with a good 
warranty. If it fails you get a new cooler along with the new chip. 
Obviously they can't try to get out of warranty replacement based on the 
cooler selection if it was their choice in the first place.


I stopped using athlons when I could no longer get boards with the AMD 
chipset(supports ECC). You can probably still get boards designed for 
dual athlon. I asked AMD why and they told me the 760 chipset for single 
athlon was no longer in production. It seems the average consumer 
doesn't appreciate higher quality features enough. It's too bad because 
I always liked AMD stuff. When I needed fast reliable chips for some 
specialized processors I designed it was AMD that gave me the first 
samples and they always gave the purchasing people good pricing for 
production needs. I'm only mentioning this because there has been some 
banter about AMD vs. Intel here. If the right motherboards were 
available for single socket 7 servers I would have stayed with them. 
Their service is excellent. They give me free overnight shipping and 2 
weeks to send in the defective part.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] asterick and festival...Help!

I was so very proud of myself...

All of a sudden after a reboot I get the following from the same 
call plan


--- (9 headers 0 lines)---
   -- Executing Festival(SIP/1000-2915, I can say numbers like) in 
new stack

 == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/festival.conf': Found
 == Spawn extension (mytest, 2890, 13) exited non-zero on 'SIP/1000-2915'

and of course the call exits.
Here is my /etc/asterick/festival.conf

[general]
host=127.0.0.1
port=1314
usecache=no
cachedir=/var/lib/asterisk/festivalcache/
festivalcommand=(tts_textasterisk %s 'file)(quit)\n

Everything is running on the same box.  I have rebooted... nothing is 
var log messages either.


The local festival_client connects and I can put in (SayText I can say 
numbers like) and it works great.


The festival_server log show only this for the calls from asterick:
client(11) Thu Aug 18 17:53:01 2005 : accepted from (my machine name here)
client(11) Thu Aug 18 17:53:01 2005 : disconnected

So it looks like it is connecting right.

Delete the files in /var/lib/asterisk/festivalcache and then try it 
again--see if the behavior changes.

Hello,

I have installed festival (the rpm package came with fc4).
But getting this:

whenever I try to access it from asterisk .

I found in documentation:
If you see a message such as:
 client(1) : rejected from myserver.mydomain.com not in access list
then edit the festival/bin/festival_server startup script to include that
FQDM in the line with localhost.*.

but I dont see any file named 'festival_server' in my fc4 box.

How can I get arround this issue?

[Asterisk-Users] Festival Problem

2005-08-12 Thread Michael Welter
I'm attempting to use Festival with Asterisk on an x86_64 system.  This 
IVR application works ok on a P4 system.


I'm using the FC3 x86_64 distro on a single processor Opteron system. 
Festival by itself (using the command line and speakers) seems to work 
ok, and Asterisk without Festival works ok.  When the Asterisk dialplan 
calls Festival, however, Festival reports a disconnect and Asterisk's 
Festival command does not complete. Later, when I shut down the system 
for reboot, I get a kernel panic.


I've tried both the FC4 Festival rpm as well as the source download from 
festvox.org.  I modify the siteinit.scm file as per the wiki page, and I 
use the stock festival.conf file in Asterisk.


Has anyone experienced this behavior, and is there a workaround?

Thanks,

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Nortel Option 11 and TE110P of Digium

2005-08-05 Thread Michael Welter
Alvaro, have you considered putting the Asterisk box between the PSTN 
and the Nortel.  In the initial Asterisk configuration, all you do is 
hand-off incoming calls to the Nortel.  When someone on a Nortel set 
dials an outside call, all the Asterisk box does is hand it off to the PSTN.


In this configuration the Nortel configuration does not have to be 
changed (it doesn't know the configuration changed).  Also, you can then 
make incremental changed to the Asterisk box (like adding some SIP 
telephones).


I have an account here in Denver, Colorado where we have done what I 
described (Nortel/Asterisk).  Contact me off list if you would like more 
information.

i'm asking

So with the PRI it's going to be easy all the work ??

Only one question the Nortel guys here, say that they need one more

  Actually the Nortel Option 11 have a AMI E1 card. With it the have
problems of clock sync.



Is the Nortel the CPE or Network side?


  They can change the AMI CARD to a PRI CARD, te questions are:

1) Which model of PRI is suggest for this ?



NI2 or DMS100


2) Some one have already do this ?



Yup, have a site up with a TE405P.


3) Is there form of correct de AMI problem ?

[Asterisk-Users] Need Advice

2005-07-22 Thread Michael Welter
I need to place a SIP FXO gateway in Central America.  I've been looking 
at Quintum products, but the prices are about $150/FXO port.


I have a Dell SC400 on the shelf, and I'm considering just installing 
Asterisk and two TDM04B cards and shipping it down.  Does anyone have 
multiple TDM cards in the SC400?  FXO ports on a TDM card are about 
$75/FXO port.


With the Dell, there will be the advantage of trunked IAX (we're paying 
for bandwidth on both ends).


Can anyone tell me if I'm missing something.  The mains are 110V.  What 
about answer and disconnect supervision (I'm assuming there isn't any on 
the FXO circuits).


Is there some other way to do this for around $500?

Thanks for your help,
Mike

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Mixed Voice/Data T1

We have a server running Asterisk and shorewall, three network 
interfaces and a T1 card, it functions as our firewall, pbx and connects 
to an Adtran 600 for FXS/FXO. We currently have two internet feeds, 
hence the three NICs.
Our 10 PSTN lines are currently delivered POTS to our FXO and rather 
lousy service, volume is low and voice quality is dull.


The Telco is offering me a Fractional T1 for our data needs. I thought 
that the best way would be to have the voice and data delivered on the 
T1. How difficult would it be to take the T1 into our Sangoma T1 card 
and seperate out the voice to asterisk and the data as our internet feed?




We have an Eschelon integrated T1, and they installed a Vina Integrator 
to split the voice and data.

I lost a client because of this.  BT will not allow premium numbers to 
be called from outside the UK.  I even tried it from an ITSP in the 
Netherlands, and the call didn't go through :-(


The ATT monopoly is gone.  Hopefully, BT's time will come--the sooner

[Asterisk-Users] E1 Channel Bank Recommendation

2005-07-06 Thread Michael Welter
I will be installing an Asterisk system in Honduras, and I need to 
convert many 2-wire analog circuits to E1 PRI.  I have no idea if there 
is answer or disconnect supervision on the POTS circuits.


An E1 from Hondutel seems to be out of the question because they will 
only provide SS7 signaling (not PRI), and the SS7 signaling would be on 
an extenal V.35 circuit.


Does someone in Latin America have experience with E1 channel banks, and 
would they be willing to share their experience?


Gracias
