Hi Ollie,

You are correct, I do have callerID-type names as accounts in sip.conf.
The hosts are set to dynamic. Is this a problem with type=peer?

Would the deny/allow suggestion posted earlier also work with type=friend?

Thanks.

Its clear that you're missing some fundamental knowledge of
Asterisk configuration and operation.  While its perfectly
fine to ask the mailing list for help, its also worthwhile
to learn what you can on your own.

Before continuing to ask questions on this list, you should
consider reading the information that is freely available
on the internet.

http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9780596517342/

(Note that the authors of that fine book would probably
appreciate you paying them for their hard work and effort,
but its still freely available if you choose not to do so)

Also did not understand this lineL same => n,Goto(${EXTEN},from-internal,1) How

[asterisk-users] Planned service outage for community services on July 12, 2012

[Asterisk Development Team]

On July 12, 2012 from approximately 11:00AM to 11:30AM (Central Daylight 
Time, GMT-5), the core routers that provide connectivity through to all 
Asterisk community services will be swapped out.


This will mean that these services will be unavailable during most, if 
not all, of this time window. Once the move is complete, the services 
will be available again, with no user-visible changes.


The services affected include:

Re: [asterisk-users] Trixbox or FreePBX or Elastix or PBX In a Flash

Recent Polycom firmware versions (4.x, I think) also have support for "user" 
sort of stuff.  See the 4.x Admin Guide.

That's basically it, yes. I just did this on my D70:

* Press Menu, select Restart, press Yes.
* During the restart, while the progress bar is progressing, push a key. 
This results in 'Reconfiguration enabled' on the screen.
* When the server list appears, choose one (if there is only one server, this 
will be skipped).
* Choose a user from the user list and enter the PIN for it; alternatively, if 
a global PIN is required by the server, it will need to be entered before the 
user list will be displayed.
* Wait for the phone to configure itself.

This takes about 60 seconds.

Not to sound like a broken record or anything... but I'd say give Elastix a go. 
It is top notch in terms of release quality and features. And, being based on 
FreePBX, you can set it to 'Device and User' mode instead of the default 
extensions mode so users can 'hotdesk' between phones.


We have a number of deployments using the FPBX 'Device and User' mode in 
a similar manner to that the OP requested, and they seem to work fairly 
well.

Personally, I'd go down this route, especially if you're already 
familiar with Linux (which I'm guessing you are if you're used to 
working with bare Asterisk). This way you can choose the distro you like 
best rather than having to adapt to whatever the all-in-one maintainer 
has chosen to use.


It also opens up options if you find you need to run other packages on 
the same server at any point.


Kind regards,

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.

The Asterisk SIP channel has no knowledge about interfaces and can't
bind to a specific interface for communication. In fact, it's a well known
bug that if you have multiple interfaces with different IP networks,
Asterisk will send from the wrong IP on some of the interfaces.


Are you sure about that? The only problem area that I'm aware of is when 
there are multiple *overlapping* interfaces (on the same subnet, or 
providing the same route(s)). In that case, Asterisk can receive 
messages on one IP address out of the overlapping set, but reply using a 
different one from the set, because it doesn't specify the source IP 
address and instead lets the UDP/IP stack select one.


If the interfaces don't overlap in any way, I don't see how it would be 
possible for Asterisk to send messages with the wrong source IP address, 
since it does not specify the source IP address at all. If this is 
occurring, it must involve the operating system's IP stack in some fashion.

Not to sound like a broken record or anything... but I'd say give Elastix a go. 
It is top notch in terms of release quality and features. And, being based on 
FreePBX, you can set it to 'Device and User' mode instead of the default 
extensions mode so users can 'hotdesk' between phones.

This can be done using Digium phones; they have built-in support for 
selecting which 'user' they should be when they are reconfigured. It's 
slightly more complicated than a simple login/logout because it requires 
rebooting the phone, but it's there and it works. They even support the 
case where a user has a phone at their house, but comes into the office 
and 'steals' their extension away from the house phone; the house phone 
will then go into an automatic reconfiguration state and wait for 
someone tell it which extension it should 'be'... when the user returns 
home, they can 'steal' the extension back from the office.

I'm currently trying to decide on which GUI-enabled version of Asterisk to
use for one particular installation, where we will need good telecommuter
support.  We've made it so easy for people to work remotely that the
customer is downsizing their real estate and will have 90% remote workers
with them rotating through the office as needed.  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.

${callidnum} is a variable from my SIP peer
(setvar=callidnum=7133437300).  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. Previously I called a 
voip.ms toll-free number. I'll blame it on (lack of) carrier

to use magic SipAddHeader incantations.

Speaking from experience - I have a client that has Trixbox (setup by a
previous phone consultant) that also uses all 7960 and 7940 phones.
Trixbox works perfectly with the phones - it uses an endpoint manager that
automatically discovers and configures the phones, even setting the
background display.  I think it's a special add-on module that was added to
this installation, I'm not entirely sure.  I can check if you would like me
to pursue this?

FreePBX (and any other project based on it, including Trixbox, Elastix, PIAF, 
AsteriskNow, etc) stores all information in a MySQL database, then when you 
click 'apply changes' it takes all of the system config info from the database, 
and generates the Asterisk dialplan code in /etc/asterisk . This is the 
tradeoff for having a magical GUI do most of the work, and doing everything by 
hand.

You can of course make your own changes that will not be overwritten by editing 
the appropriate *_custom.conf files. For example, to add contexts and/or 
dialplan stuff, put it in extensions_custom.conf. The same applies for 
sip_custom.conf, etc...

Most of the predone projects (Elastix is my favorite at the moment) include 
some sort of endpoint manager that will generate configs for your phones. I'm 
not sure specifically on Cisco phones, other than they are a huge PITA in 
general. The system just needs a TFTP server installed, and the phones pointed 
to it (manually, or by using DHCP option 66).

You can't* set the outbound name.  That's defined in the national caller id
name database that the receiving phone company dips into.  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.

* - You may be able to set it if you're calling other users on the
Flowroute network, I'm not sure.  But in general, once your call leaves the
Flowroute network, the only way to get the CNAM info is from a CNAM dip to
the national database (I don't recall the actual name).

[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!

[asterisk-users] connections to manager

[Jerry Geis]

Is there a limit to the number of connections
that manager can handle at one time?

In my logs I see "connect error" but then try again
in a few seconds and it works.

I could have quite a number of connections at one time.

How can I up the limit.

I don't know if it will resolve, but try add the "localnet" option in sip.conf.

[asterisk-users] NO AUDIO

[Daviramos Roussenq Fortunato]

Hi,


I have a server running at more than two years with Asterisk 1.6, and began
presenting problem seedlings links in external SIP extensions on some links.

By doing "rtp set debug on" discovered the problem, he is trying to deliver
the audio directly to internal IP Extension. And sometimes shown correctly
on the external IP, where this time the link works correctly. These
extensions are at Stake sip configured with nat = yes and = no canreivinte.

In the "sip show settings" I have my ip correctly list "externip: MY_IP:
5060" Server is not behind NAT, the IP is directly on it, it has only one
network card, the SIM remote extensions are behind NAT.

What may be occurring in some links for it to work correctly and not others?

Thanks for the reply.

in the meantime i've found a sort of workaround.

[general]
host = dynamic
; take some local, static address
bindaddr = 192.168.1.1
; and don't use that address very much
localnet = 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0
; ...

[sip_out]
; pretend nat
nat = route
; ...

i'm not sure about all implications. for example, incoming connections
must be handled with iptables, and in the first second of a call (from
sip_out) theres no sound. i can live with that for a while.

couldn't find much about it on the net. anyway, if it's well known:
what would be the downside of just (silently, implicitly) taking the
right adress? like when when resolving the peer-host, take a look into
the routing table...?

It's very hard to see what's happening without seeing the SIP logs. You just 
see that something went wrong in the process of setting up the bridge.

Please note that the account name is the name within square brackets. 
The username= option (now renamed to defaultuser= ) is a very different thing, 
and NOT the username of the account.

The Asterisk SIP channel has no knowledge about interfaces and can't
bind to a specific interface for communication. In fact, it's a well known
bug that if you have multiple interfaces with different IP networks,
Asterisk will send from the wrong IP on some of the interfaces.

Sorry,

Timer1 is the base for many other SIP timers and it's an estimate of the 
roundtrip time for a packet
between two SIP devices or servers. TimerB is based on T1, like the retransmit 
timers.

Yes, that should propably change.
