Re: [asterisk-users] syntax

Your sound file needs to be in the asterisk sounds directory.
Another thing is that you may not have to put the file extension in the name
if the file is in the proper place as well.
Try that and see what happens.

Re: [asterisk-users] Help with concurrent VoIP calls

If you've got a bellsouth dsl connection because of the way their system
works even with doing qos on the link you can really only do about 8 calls
before you start to run into problems with their setup.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Help with concurrent VoIP calls

Hi. I'm having trouble figuring out why I'm not able to make many concurrent
VoIP calls on my system. I'm not aiming for a huge number, because I have
purposely bought a low powered system, but I would think that I could get
more. Here are the details:

I have a small-form-factor Asterisk server with an Intel Atom 230 CPU
(1.6 GHz, 533 MHz FSB) and 512 MB DDR2 533. It is running Ubuntu Server 9.04
with the default Debian package manager installation of Asterisk. (version
1.4)

Here is what is going on: I'm making outgoing calls (with .call files) via
SIP (using Vitelity's service, if anyone wants to know) with about 55.0 ms
latency between my Bellsouth DSL connection  their servers.
I'm using GSM-format prompts with GSM encoding (disallow=all, allow=gsm in
sip.conf) and I'm able to make about 7 concurrent calls.
I have a very fast internet connection, so there is still plenty of
bandwidth, and the top command shows that Asterisk is only at about 5% CPU
and 10% RAM. Even with only 7 calls, a landline phone will skip
occcasionally, but cell phones have perfect quality.

I don't think that 7 calls is very many, I'll be happy if I can get 10
good-sounding calls. Can anyone give suggestions? (If this has been hashed
out elsewhere, I'm happy with a link to more information!)

Thanks.

 Should be, as long as you stay within the same branch.  That being the

Re: [asterisk-users] Recording Calls

if you are running Asterisk in front of the other pbx you can record the
calls that you send to the other system.
You will either need some type of pri interface to connect between the two
systems if digital and some fxs interfaces if analog.

Hello
Im using Asterisk as a SIP client of Kamailio with RTPproxy. Asterisk is
behind NAT.

X-Lite and SNOM phones behind NAT work fine.
But when I try to connect with an Asterisk behind NAT, the Asterisk client
doesn't receive sound.
I already tried in 2 different NATs, with no firewalls.

This is my Asterisk config:

[kamailio]
type=peer
host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
allow=gsm
allow=g726
qualify=1000

sip*CLI sip show peers
Name/username  HostDyn Nat ACL Port Status   
kamailio/my_username   xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   5060 OK 
(890 ms)

Is there something missing in my SIP.CONF to improve the compatibility with
Kamailio?
How can I debug the RTP stream in Asterisk?
Thanks

I have regular phone service (not VoIP) with an SPA3102.
It works fine, I can dial out, incoming calls work as well, no issues.

With the regular phone service, while I am on a call, I can initiate a 3-way
call via:

1. Press [FLASH]
2. Dial the number.
3. Press [FLASH]

Would this be possible via asterisk to 'forward' -- not in the example below

Re: [asterisk-users] VoIP over satellite internet

2009-05-08 Thread Tom Moore
Voip over satellite can be done if enough bandwidth is reserved properly for
it.
Use the g729 codec and ask for 24 kilobits of upstream cir and you should be
fine.
Also you'll want to mark your packets with the EF tos bit in sip.conf.
If done right the delay isn't too bad. Yes you can tell it is there, but as
long as your latency doesn't fluctuate too much you should be alright.

From my experience as far as satellite platforms are concerned go with
Idirect when possible. 
I've also used the Viasat systems as well and from all the installs I've
seen the hub operators never really understood how to run the hub to
optimize for voip so I've pretty much given up on that platform. It seems
that Idirect operators are the only ones who know how to make the system
work well.
If you want the best of the best nothing touches C-band though.
Yes its low bandwidth, but C-band you can bet your life on...
Most low end sat services are way over subscribed to start with and when you
add voip in to the mix voip is the first thing to lose.
 
Tom

Could those on the list who have used or tried to use VoIP over a satellite
internet connection comment on how well it works or if it even works at all
in a reliable way.  What is the effect of latency on the VoIP path and how
much is generally tolerable?  routing via satellite adds about a quarter
second of latency to the path.  Is that too much?

I have 2 SIP-clients defined in my sip.conf :

[GXP1200]
type=friend
context=intern
host=dynamic
username=GXP1200
secret=testpaswoord
canreinvite=yes

[BT201]
type=friend
context=intern
host=dynamic
username=BT201
secret=testpaswoord
canreinvite=yes

When I make a call from one to another this is displayed on the CLI :

-- Executing [...@intern:1] Dial(SIP/GXP1200-093900c8, SIP/BT201|30) in
new stack 
-- Called BT201 
-- SIP/BT201-09395070 is ringing 
-- SIP/BT201-09395070 answered SIP/GXP1200-093900c8 
-- Native bridging SIP/GXP1200-093900c8 and SIP/BT201-09395070 

From voip-info.org I understand that 'canreinvite' means that the
SIP-client will re-invite the other client, so that Asterisk is no longer in
the path...
This is indicated on the CLI with 'native bridging'.

Then why are there 2 sip-channels with a different Call-ID ? The output
shows that Asterisk is still in between !

asterisk*CLI sip show channels

Is there something that I misunderstand here ??

The cable needed for this is a different cable than an ethernet cross over.
I have actually done this same thing today with a Samsung 100 system and

A question of my own:
I know I can emulate the network side of a pri connection, but can I do this
same trick with other t1 standards like ani and others?
If I can be a client on the different t1 types, does this also mean I can be
the server side and feed back the different standards to legacy equipment as
well or are there some limitations to this?

What I was thinking is that I could set one asterisk box up with a PRI card

I think I would also need to wire up the correct type of crossover as a
standard ethernet crossover would not work or would it?

2009-01-12 Thread Tom Moore
I was able to send the xml directly to the device like:
http://ip/admin/resync?tftp://ip_of_tftp_server/myconfig.xml
This is a great start to what I want to do, but isn't really the end goal.
I put a call in to Linksys about this so maybe they'll call me back today.
Another issue I've got with these devices is on about 1 out of every 3
devices I get a high pitch noise on the line when I go to place a call so
their hardware QA seems to be lacking in some way.

I did this a long time ago, and just based it on a PAP2T XML
configuration, with 8 lines instead of 2, and it worked fine. Sorry I
don't have any useful examples to hand anymore. Are you sure it is not
just a missing slash or angle-bracket in your source XML? Try opening
it in a browser to see if it parses cleanly.

 Hi guys,
 Anyone have experience using the Linksys spc tool to provision devices?
 I've been fighting with it all afternoon and can not get the tool to parse
a
 xml file properly.
 I can get it to generate me a .cfg file from a text file, but when I tell
 the unit to pull down the cfg file it doesn't really look like any of my
 settings were even set from the file I generated.

 Thanks for any help you may be able to offer,
 Tom

Hi,

VERBOSE[6120] logger.c: -- Got SIP response 500 Server Internal Error

I just noticed that i sometimes get those back from provider. They are
currently general SIP message log entries with verbose level 3.

I wonder if such SIP fails could generate at least WARNING in log?
Currently i'm checking logs for warnings and errors, so i probably
have missed those.. It would be great indication that something is not
ok - either outgoing trunk or local phone is bad.

Any opinions?

Funny Net2Phone comes up. We talked to them when we were starting out
and they wanted to charge $500 setup fee because we had no volume. The
guy said We have to charge this because we had many people coming to us
without volume, so we charge this setup fee in order to allow us to
still provide them service. Like that makes any sense to anyone. Either
way, they had the worst rates in the market and claimed extremely high
quality. I'm glad we didn't go with them.

Re: [asterisk-users] Connecting two asterisks via IAX

2008-08-29 Thread Tom Moore
Easy.
Just create a peer in each office that connects to the other, basic example
on server 1.
 
iax.conf
 
[office2]
type=friend
host=office2
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
 context=internal_office_dialing
username=office1
secret=mypassword
trunk=yes
 
Create a peer on the office2 server to point back at office1 in the same
way.
 
extensions.conf on office1.
exten = _2XX,1,Dial(IAX2/office2/${EXTEN})
 
 
This is a simple setup where office1 has the 1XX extension block and office2
has the 2XX block.

Most likely at this point what I should be using for a hardware platform
that will work in a small area that I can put in place and leave it put and
running for years on end like you can with other pbx equipment.
 
The pbx installer I worked with says that 16 channel sip cards for the

I am also not sure that all the pbx's he has out in the field would be
compatible with this sip card so I'm looking for hardware suggestions at
this point I think.

Hi, using Asterisk over satellite can be done. Not all satellite providers

If you are going to do communications between offices that are connected
over satellite office to office you may have a problem.
My personal choice for satellite connections is the Idirect platform.

We're entertaining moving our intranet to Hughes satelite for our remote
locations.  I'm curious if anyone with Asterisk servers has used satellite,
and if so, is the latency an issue.  My understanding is that you
immediately introduce 250ms latency for travel time up and back down,
however it is a much more direct connection then offered by traditional land
lines.

Perhaps someone has some other suggestions?  We've started looking into
Global Crossing as an alternative to have more control and reliability
between all of our remote facilities, maybe this is a better alternative.
Our biggest problem is most of our sites are in smaller cities where your
bigger connections are more limited.

Looking for any suggestions.

Thanks,

 Dear All,

 What setup would you recommend for making VoIP calls whilst bringing

 * Singapore
 * Tokyo

 Some of the Asia offices are  300ms some  200ms.

 Any advice greatly apreciated.

Probably not the right answer, but ... Find a local ITSP in each country 
and place all your outgoing calls via them and let them deal with it via 
the PSTN.

Mayby not in the true spirit of VoIP, and not free either, but if it works 
and you get some good rates, then it might well be worth it.

Or provide both solutions - let the offices call each other via VoIP, but 
if too laggy, fall-back to VoIP - PSTN... (- VoIP)

You'll be at the mercy of your local Internet providers and usually, 
there's not a lot you can do to influence traffic routing - other than 
pick another ISP - maybe you can find out which ISPs use cable/fibre and 
which use satellite connections and favour the wired ones...

But if you want to keep it VoIP, then what I'd do is get access to a PC in 
each location and start running traceroutes (use 'mtr' if you can) and 
work out the best paths - you might find that there are better ways then 
simply providing 6 IAX trunks at each location - eg. you might find it 
better to route calls from SF to Seoul via the Tokyo office (ie. use 
canreinvite=no to force the data path if using SIP or notransfer=yes in 
IAX with appropriate dial-rules) if SF to Tokyo to Seoul goes via cable, 
but SF to Seoul goes via satellite...

So logon to those 7 asterisk boxes and run 6 mtr's from each to each other 
site - leave them going for an hour, then analyse the results. (Good 
luck!)

However, you'll still be at the mercy of the ISPs who might change their 
routing on a day to day basis, depending on what their influences are...

But at the end of the day ye canny change the laws o' physics!

[asterisk-users] Explain t38 and how it relates to Asterisk

2008-08-09 Thread Tom Moore
Hi guys,
What's the easiest way to explain to someone the state of t38 with Asterisk
and what does / doesn't work in 1.4 stable from an end user point of view?
I have a friend who uses an ata to connect to an Asterisk server and he asks
me why he can not send faxes even though both end points support t38 and I
have the canreinvite option set to yes in sip.conf
I also have t38pt_udptl = yes

Which Asterisk systems provide automatic provisioning of phones?

Switchvox? ABE? The AA series appliances? Trixbox?

I know that the VDEX-40 (Voiceroute) and Jazinga do this.

[asterisk-users] Setting up ring group

2008-07-31 Thread Tom Moore
Hi guys,
What's the best way to setup a ring group that contains 6 extensions so that
when a call comes in there starts a 30 second timer and the first available
device is rang instead of ringing all extensions at the same time?
What I want it to do is cycle through the extensions and have the system
ignore the ones that are busy and if there are not any free extensions in
the ring group to have the system drop the caller to voicemail.
If none of the extensions are present in the group I'd like to also drop to
voicemail.
Basically what I'm looking for is a multiple extensions version of the
standard extension macro with multiple devices and the exten busy state
ignored.

Tom

This gives the ring function I want, but doesn't take in to account the 30

Why don't you just call the Dial application for each user, one after

The ones that are busy will just go through. So, on the next priority,

Re: [asterisk-users] issue with high latency

2008-07-22 Thread Tom Moore
Not true.
Voip is done over satellite every day and those ping times are at least 540
and upwards of in the 700's depending on the technology used.
The key here is keeping the latency stable.
If the packet flow fluctuates too much in latency this is when a problem
arises.

[asterisk-users] Interfacing pri card to legacy pbx

Hi guys,
Can I use a Sangoma a101 to interface a legacy pbx to an Asterisk server?
The pbx doesn't have sip and I want to come in off of a sip trunk and
interface with the older system.
I know I can use a pri card to hook in to the phone network, but can I use
this same card to feed back the signaling as if I were the phone company to
the older system?

Thanks,

I cannot tell for sure for any system, but we have an old Portmaster PM3 
hooked-up from one port of our Sangoma A104d card, another one being from 
telco.

So, yes you can emulate the telco from a sangoma A10x card. Here's what I 
have in my zapata.conf :

;Sangoma A104 port 1 [slot:12 bus:0 span: 1]
switchtype=national
pridialplan=unknown
signalling=pri_cpe
group=1
channel = 1-23

;Sangoma A104 port 2 [slot:12 bus:0 span: 2]
echocancel=no
pridialplan=national
signalling=pri_net
group=2
channel = 25-47

You might have noticed that the signalling is different for both port. 
pri_net being the telco emulatin one. The clock needs also to be set on 
master in the wancfg utility.

Another thing, you might want to consider using a 2 port card for that, 
because the clock master needs a reference and I can't tell for sure if 
it'll work with a reference from another card.

Regards,

Nicolas

How many calls do you expect to be going at one time?
Do you have any sip trunks for the users to call out on? Unless this ratio
really works for you I'm not sure a 15 to 1 ratio works for most people.
I wouldn't just depend on a single server for this purpose.
I'll leave it to the cluster guys to describe the ideal setup you should
use.
I have an idea of how I might do it, but I wouldn't want to get it wrong.

How would I configure a peer in sip.conf that has multiple host ip

Can I just put multiple host=ip_address lines in the config file or will I

A provider I am trying to hook up with gave me multiple ip addresses to
accept calls from for incoming calls and multiple addresses that I can send
calls too and I'm wondering what the best way to handle this is on my side?

I will be working with Broadvox and they will be pushing calls to my server

Re: [asterisk-users] SIP carrier billing technicalities

2008-03-24 Thread Tom Moore
I'm not exactly sure how this works myself either.
Most sip providers charge based on the destination you are calling. I'm not
sure how providers do this if they have different rates for local area and
national calling areas.
I would assume that if you have say a 212 did if you set the caller id
string to a 212 number and have a local calling area of 212 that since those
both match the provider would give you the call for free.
I could be wrong though.

Subject: [asterisk-users] SIP carrier billing technicalities

Hi,

Does anyone know anything about the following?

In a hosted environment where several area DIDs are provisioned on a
single server, how do most carriers establish the origination DID,
number.

Asterisk allows us to modify the CallerID, name, number and DNID
channel variables before dialling out via SIP.  Most carriers will
allow us to spoof a callerID when placing a call, and pass it forward.
 We can also spoof the DNID also before the call is placed, although I
am not sure this is carried forward to the outgoing proxy, using SIP.

Do most carriers the carrier just use CallerID as an origination
number?  As far as I am aware, the concept of a BTN is gone with
SIP

Does this mean its possible to save money on your bill, by modifying
CallerID so that the origination number is seen to be a local call?

anyone care to comment?

Robert

Re: [asterisk-users] Is Asterisk ready for Prime-Time?

2008-03-19 Thread Tom Moore
I think what Bill is concerned about is if Asterisk is good enough for his
operation.
When you talk about Asterisk there are a number of ways to set it up.
Some ways of setting it up involve a gui interface, some are pure text files
and some are databased in how they handle the config data.
As far as managing a voice system four to five hours of maintenance time for
a 30 station system is entirely too much on a weekly basis.

Asterisk most certainly can be a solution that can work for your situation.
If deployed right it can handle on a single server much more than what you
are asking it to do.

 I'm a USER of Asterisk.  We purchased 3 commercially available
 Asterisk Based PBXs a little over a year ago. (I won't mention
 which one at this point - I don't want to bad mouth them - yet!)
 Two of the systems are very small (5 SIP lines/6 Polycom phones).
 The third is on a PRI with 30 Polycom phones.

 My smaller sites work pretty good.  I've only had to restart
 Asterisk every month or so.  However, my 30 station system
 is a continuous headache.  I average a restart at least once a
 week.  Sometimes a couple of times in the week.  I'm always being
 called to fix something that just stopped working.

 I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO A Well, don't just complain, tell us
 your setup and we can help you get it working.  This list HAS
 helped me figure out some of the issues.  THANK YOU!  But the
 purpose of this post is more of a fact finding mission.

 1) Was choosing Asterisk for our company the wrong decision...

a) IF... I expect a phone system to just work.  Once it is
   configured, a phone system should just work with
   very little attention.  My previous system was a
   Comdial with external voice mail on a DOS based PC.
   I LITERALLY WENT OVER 4 YEARS WITHOUT HAVING TO REMOVE
   POWER TO THE COMDIAL CONTROL OR RE-BOOT THE VOICE MAIL PC.
  
b) IF... I really only need a phone system that allows an operator
   to answer each call and transfer them to the appropriate
   person.  I need voice mail, but very little auto attendant
   features (mostly after hours).  All the bells and whistles
   that Asterisk offers are cool, but don't bring that much to
   the table for our purpose.

c) IF... Stability is more of an issue than high end features?

 2) Are there any users out there that really DO have an Asterisk
system that just works like clockwork?  I'm saying, once setup,
run for a year (or more) without any issues?

 3) If SO, Should I simply consider a different vendor?

 4) If NOT, and if my expectations are that a system SHOULD just
run and run without any problems.  Is Asterisk simply not my
solution.  Is Asterisk not REALLY ready for production.  Because
in my mind (as a user of phone services), dealing with the
phone system, even on a MONTHLY basis, means that the system
is NOT really production ready...  Before we installed an
Asterisk based PBX, I spent maybe 4 hours per YEAR with phone
issues (setting up a new station?).  Since we moved to an
Asterisk based PBX, I spend 4 hours (or more) every WEEK!

Am I expecting too much?

 Bill

   

I don't think you are expecting too much.

We have:-

Also to add to the last post does this device have hardware echo
cancelation?
if it does it could be a great replacement, if not may not be what I'd
really want to use.

Subject: [asterisk-users] RedFone foneBRIDGE2 2e1 - anyone used it oranother
TDMoE bridge?


I've been asked to look at deploying Asterisk in a high availability
environment and I've been looking so I've been searching for methods to
decouple the voice PRI circuits from the Asterisk server so failover to
another server could take place.

I've been looking at the RedFone foneBRIDGE2 2e1 product here:

http://www.mapleleaf-technologies.com/webstore/redfone_fonebridge2_2e1.php

Has anyone used this device (or something similar)? What were your thoughts
on it? On the surface this seems like a perfect method of building high
availability Asterisk environments, but I'm a little hesitant to spend a few
grand just to find out it's a pipe dream.

Re: [asterisk-users] I need the least expensive way to do this

Probably an 8 port gateway.
This would give you four of each and a network jack to tie back to your
asterisk server.

[asterisk-users] Call limits per server with Iax

2008-02-23 Thread Tom Moore
If I'm using an Iax trunk between two sites what is the suggested number of
calls to pass over this trunk before I run in to problems?
Also is this number based on a per peer basis or all Iax calls going through
the server in general?
I know this will depend on the bandwidth I have between the sites, but lets
take this variable out of the question and assume I have more than enough
bandwidth to go around for the calls I want to process.
Also to make things easy lets say I have g729 encoder cards in each server
at both ends of the link.
Will Iax scale well enough to allow me to pass the 92 calls or whatever the
number of g729 encoder cards have for the number of encoding licenses on the
cards?

Thanks,
tom

You can install the packages you want with yum from any location on the

You do not have to be sitting in /usr/src to do this.

Hi All;

Are the following needed to be installed in the same
location of Asterisk source and Zapata source, or it
can be in any place? For example, I have asterisk at
/usr/src/asterisk-1.4 and I have zaptel also at
usr/src/zaptel-1.4, so where I have to instal the
following:

yum install bison
yum install bison-devel
yum install ncurses
yum install ncurses-devel
yum install zlib
yum install zlib-devel
yum install openssl
yum install openssl-devel
yum install gnutls-devel
yum install gcc
yum install gcc-c++

 If you really want to maximize your bandwidth try LPC codec! You can
 probably squeeze 5 maybe 6 calls on there... and sound like a robot.

   

Speex rocks!

Subject: [asterisk-users] Sip Providers

Asterisk Users,

  I have Asterisk PBX System running at my work.  The system is working 
great.  Currently, I have Broadvoice as my sip provider and I am not 
completely satisfy with their service.  Broadvoice only allows 2 
simultaneous calls, which hinders my company's communications ability.

  I am looking for a sip provider that would work with Asterisk and allow at

least 6 simultaneous calls, locally and internationally.  Of course the 
voice quality, pricing, number portability are the main determining factors.

  I will have a T1 connection at the office, so bandwidth would not be an 
issue.  Any thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.


Best Regards,
John

[asterisk-users] Asterisk with iax2 over satellite

2007-07-15 Thread Tom Moore
Hi guys,
I'm in the process of setting up an Asterisk server over a satellite
connection to allow people on a remote island to place and receive calls
over the pstn.
What are the ideal settings I should use in iax.conf for the optimal
operation over satellite besides the normal options for the type=friend
peer?

Does anyone have this working? I an place calls as things are now, but there
is a lot of drop out in the audio.
I get a lot of receiving mini frame before full voice frame errors
especially the first 5 or 10 seconds of the call.

Thanks,
Tom

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk with iax2 over satellite

2007-07-15 Thread Tom Moore
Sip would probably work well in a single phone situation, but what I'm
trying to do is use multiple phones over a single trunk connection.

Using sip though do you have a few seconds at the beginning of each call
where the audio is not clear?
On our link when I tried a sip phone the connection was unstable for about 5
seconds before the two people could hear each other well enough to have a
conversation.
Also another things I noticed is that with either sip or Iax that when I
call came in the latency shot through the roof up to 2.5 seconds or so for
the first 30 seconds of the call before it settled back down to the usual
600 to 700.
