It's SIP everywhere and anyone who requires you, in 2014, to use H.323 should get a clue. Avoid them or at least demand SIP Bah. There is nothing wrong with a working H.323 stack. Just assuming that they will have a working SIP stack because of the date can lead to heartache. By itself there is nothing wrong with a working H.323 stack. I just would not use it :-) Using H.323 for one provider while any backup or alternative providers probably use SIP results in needing two stacks in testing production. It also requires the admins to gain knowledge of a legacy protocol. Maybe there are some incumbents or service providers with legacy H.323 equipment continuing to offer H.323 service. I get that. But for a business building a VoIP PBX from scratch H.323 does not make sense from a cost and operations point of view.

AFAIK it's a dead-end. The ooh323 channel has been fairly reliable in our use case, which involve connecting to a commercial IP PBX with crud SIP support. Only you can tell if it will work for you however, as sadly many times new core features only get tested against the SIP channel(s), or worse only implemented there as well. Our current Asterisk version is 11.5.1 The OP mentioned that his VoIP provider prefers H.323 so it seems to be about trunking. IMHO fairly reliable is not something that is acceptable for trunking phone service. H.323 is what Gopher is to HTTP/webservers. When was the last time you used a Gopher service? Would you today still buy Gopher based service because the service provider prefers it? :-) Regards, Patrick -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on Windows
Probably feeding the trolls but here it goes. On 12/04/2013 04:19 PM, CDR wrote: Digium is 100% lost in the map. If they would come up with a Paid version of Asterisk, one that would use the .NET framework in Windows, something simple to install, they could go public on the product. IIRC Microsoft no longer invests in the .Net framework which makes it a bad idea for a product that would live for up to 10 years. Do you really want to bet your business/company that .Net will be there in 5 to 10 years? Linux has a very steep learning curve. A Windows application that would do exactly the same would be a home run. I find Linux easier than Windows. Installing a package on Linux or Windows is not the issue. How is a simple 'yum install asterisk' any more difficult than double clicking on it in Windows? It's what you do afterwards with the OS and package. Asterisk has a much steeper learning curve than either. It's easy to mess up the config and suffer the consequences if the box is Internet facing. Also, Windows has a terrible reputation when it comes to security. Why would anyone want to use Windows for an Internet facing service? There's a reason that Google, Facebook, Twitter and pretty much the rest of the world are powered by Linux and it's not only because it's cheaper. Just because you find Windows easier does not make it a good idea. Note: I am a Linux expert user, but it took me years to get here. And still, moving from regular RHEL 6.0 to Fedora 20 (RHEL 7) is a pain in the neck. There is probably a saying about people calling themselves experts and then complain about a move from EL6 to F20 which is puzzling by itself. The .NET framework and Windows server 2012 are miles away in terms of friendliness and on equal footing on performance. I have yet to see a large Telco or ITSP deploy their services on Windows. A while back I have seen some attempts. It was hilarious to hear that the servers had to be restarted every few hours. Performance totally sucked, components would crash and the solution was, even by telco standards, ridiculously expensive. So no, they are not on equal footing when it comes to performance (and other aspects). I don´t mean another slow cygwin port, I man a native Asterisk for windows. In fact, I would invest on the project if somebody wants to do it. If you really want to use Windows then have a look at FreeSWITCH as it's available on Windows too. Then there is also Lync and 3CX. Good luck keeping your Windows boxes from getting hacked with all the financial and other damage it would cause.

The choppy phone calls, and drop outs are detrimental to our sales force. I've tried about everything I can think of. Moved the asterisk server from VM machine to dedicated machine That's a good start. Now what have you done to conclude that the Asterisk server is not the cause of your problems? More than enough bandwidth That's irrelevant. It's about the quality of that bandwidth. Have you figured out if there might be a lot of packetloss or are you perhaps on a cablelink which is a *shared* medium? Once your link hits the box in the street it shares it with others who might be eating up all the bandwidth with their torrent downloads etc.? Use tools like iperf, smoke ping and mtr to see if there are obvious problems on the route to your VoIP provider. Setting 802.1p = 7 Set Dedicated voice traffic 35% of bandwidth. Not sure what option would be the best Once the packets leave your premises and your ISP/cable company starts messing with them a QoS setting is generally not honored so not very helpful unless your LAN is congested. Put analog lines in the conference room to avoid the dropouts - leave the sip lines in place for day to day use If those analog lines are cheap, easy to get then as an intermediate solution I would order those analog lines as fast as I could. Or fix the VoIP problems, whichever is faster. Hire a consultant An experienced VoIP consultant should be able to tell you what is or could be causing your problems. With your users sick of phone service it suprises me that you haven't already hired one. Ditch the system and buy a pre-packaged system - RingCentral or some such. And what if it's your Internet link or the route to your VoIP provider? What if your VoIP provider is messing up? There are no local asterisk professionals who can help, and we are a little leery of opening up our system to outside consultants. If you don't want that then you don't want that but given the state your users are in I would be less worried about giving a Consultant access to the Asterisk box and more worried about my job :-) Anyone else face the above, and finally abandoned Asterisk for a commercial system? I have seen that once years ago where some clueless sales guy had totally oversold an ancient Asterisk/Bristuff/ISDN setup which was very buggy and crash prone. There was no way to make that work reliably. After the supplier failed for months I was brought in to review the setup and possibly fix it. Told the customer to cut its losses. So they kicked out their supplier and opted for a different setup. We have 167 users. I use Grandstream GXP 2100 on the desktop and Polycom ip6000 for the conference rooms. I don't know how Grandstream is these days. I thought the GXP2100 was ok but I guess you already know if there's a problem with those phones from the (lack of) intra-office call complaints from your users. Suggestions welcome. Hire a Consultant or someone who has been part of this Community for a while and is well known on this list or in #asterisk on irc. Provide remote access if required. Change passwords afterwards. If you really don't want to provide remote access then find a reputable VoIP provider with a switch physically as close as possible to your location, get a DID for a few bucks, hook it up to your Asterisk box and route it to a line on your phone, grab your cell, call that DID and see if you still have the problem. It wouldn't be the first time that the link between you and your VoIP provider just doesn't cut it. Or maybe your VoIP provider just sucks and you need to change to a different one. Both flowroute.com and voip.ms work well for me (no affiliation). Or maybe your Internet link sucks and you need to change your ISP. Good luck.

If your situation requires remote and mobile access, can you at least 'black-list' certain countries with a propensity for hacking? Do you need access from China, North Korea, Iran, etc? You can eliminate a very large percentage of hacking attempts with just a few rules. Then you can focus better on the remaining threats. Agree. The ip blocks from ipdeny.com come in handy either blocking countries that have no business accessing your Asterisk box or whitelisting countries/ip ranges that do.

The distorted S and F are prevented by a pop filter in front of the mic. Are you using a pop filter? Also if you are using a cheap mic, do yourself a favor and invest in a decent mic.

A lot of us are interested in helping people who help themselves, and solving complex problems. I've seen many tech lists die off when people stop trying to help themselves and ask intelligent questions. Good point Carlos and I share your feeling. On the Postfix mailing list, when someone asks a basic how do I ... question, inevitably the response is one or more links to a section in the documentation. And that works really well. The interesting problems discussed on that ML outnumber the questions from those who can't be bothered to try to help themselves by spending a couple of minutes reading the docs. I would welcome similar responses on this mailing list to improve the S/N ratio. As to top-posting, another example of when I think it's generally acceptable is people using tablets. I have found no way on either my iOS or Android tablets to quickly/easily post in the traditional manner. If I'm faced with spending a few minutes carefully trimming a useful reply or just not posting it at all, I'm likely to choose the latter if I'm on a list that says absolutely never top post. I only use Thunderbird to post but I now have seen several arguments that MUAs like Outlook and iOS/Android clients are simply not capable of bottom posting trimming. Perhaps the list admins could take that into account when appropriate. Regards, Patrick -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Apparently Ivona has an GPL licensed Asterisk plug-in (http://www.ivona.com/en/telecom/asterisk/). Do you know where that plug-in can be downloaded? I could not find it.

[asterisk-users] Flowroute: howto set outbound callerid (ast 1.4)?
Hi, The flowroute website mentions that they set callerid on outbound calls based on the presence of (in order of preference): P-Asserted-Identity, Remote-Party-ID or From:. I've been trying to make outbound callerid work via flowroute to no avail. Does anyone have an extensions.conf / sip.conf snippet howto make this work? This is for Asterisk 1.4.44. Thanks!

As far as I know, Flowroute does not add entries to this database, nor do they dip it when you receive a call to pass the caller ID name on inbound calls. Other providers do. Thank you for your feedback Warren. I removed the outbound name but still get random numbers VOIP CALLER on outbound calls. Googling I tried some more: SipAddHeader(P-Asserted-Identity: sip:19995551212@AST_BOX_FQDN) SipAddHeader(P-Asserted-Identity: 19995551212) SipAddHeader(P-Preferred-Identity: sip:19995551212@AST_BOX_FQDN) SipAddHeader(P-Preferred-Identity: 19995551212) But none of them work. So unless someone has the magic incantation howto make this work I'll open a ticket with flowroute.

This always passes my proper phone number when I make outbound calls. Thank you for that snippet Warren. I setup a different US DID and called that one via flowroute and the callerid worked.

So most phones in the office will be shared, and I'm looking for a version of Asterisk that will easily allow people to log in and out of a specific desk. What are your suggestions? I have very little experience with GUI versions of Asterisk; we use bare Asterisk for nearly everything. Afaik development of the free Trixbox has stalled. Elastix is a popular alternative and iirc it comes with provisioning tools that work with Polycom. Or you could just install a bare Asterisk and slap FreePBX on top of it if you don't need all the fancy stuff that Elastix offers.

Hi Khalid, On 18-05-12 20:50, khalid touati wrote: Hi Patrick, it seems like you have the magic ball, I think what you described is exactly what happened: After we tested the server+ link and we were able to have simultaneous calls (as expected), and knowing that this server was not touched (not even rebooted), it is back not dialing through PTP link.The server remained working from Friday to at least Monday then boom, when I called BT...of course no explanation I am just wondering: their mechanism to miss up things, is it automatic or manual ( I think automatic). As far as I know the telco's monitoring infra will automagically disable the ISDN port. You can request that the telco disable monitoring of the port which will prevent them from shutting it down. But if there's something wrong with the port/linecard on their switch they will no longer notice. In the end the only solution is to deploy software than can properly handle the D-channel in all its states.

Versions used: asterisk 1.6.2.6 dahdi 2.3.0.1 libpri 1.4.10.2 Good to hear you got it working with Digium's help. One thing: if bri_presistentlayer means that the drivers will force the D-channel to always be up then do not be surprised if BT disables the ISDN port. They don't like it if a customer forces them to power the D-channel all the time at their expense. And with their ISDN team not contactable it may be a bit of a challenge to get them to enable the port again (after you promised not to mess with heir D-channel again...).

No but there is a bug report with a lot of information that seems similar: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/14031 In Europe telco's drop the D-channel (cut off power) to save on the electric bill. The libpri/dahdi/asterisk combo should detect a dropped D-channel and signal the telco to fire up the D-channel. Judging from that bugreport (Unresolved) it seems Digium has still not succeeded in properly handling this situation. Should you not be able to resolve this issue and really require an ISDN BRI connection then have a look at an Eicon Diva or Sangoma card. Both cards+drivers properly handle a dropped D-channel. I have used Eicon Diva and Sangoma BRI cards in the Netherlands and they work fine. Or you could get a blackbox from Beronet, Patton, Audiocodes etc. If you feel adventurous you can also get a BRI card with a HFC-S Cologne chipset and get the latest and greatest isdn4k-utils, mISDN, mISDNuser and lcr from http://misdn.eu, build, install and configure lcr to talk to asterisk. A few weeks ago I set it up and did one test call and that call worked fine.
