[Asterisk-Users] Again Asterisk and VMWare - it works now!

2003-07-19 Thread Dan
Hi,

I have succeed using Asterisk on VMWare on an [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 128 MB
allocated for the Linux virtual machine.
I have connected this PBX with another one using IAX/GSM. I can call the
other part and the sound is great, without any interruption.
The phone used is a Cisco7960 with G.711, so still a codec conversion is in
place (GSM/G.711) and Asterisk/VMWare Wkst performs very well.

The problem is only when I try to call local services, like echo test or
Digium Demo. Then, the sound of the informative message for the Digium Demo
is choppy, but the sound from the Digium server (after connection) is very
good.

So.. the problem is only to play local files when in virtual machine (menus,
informative messages, etc.). Why? It is clear that this is not a computer
performance issue and/or a timing problem during the codec conversion.
More, the inband DTMF works like a charm under the virtual machine. Even the
known problem with double digits for Cisco phones dissapear.

BR,
Dan
P.S. Please do not answer again that this setup cannot work. In this moment
I cannot accept such an answer.

As I understand it, the playback applications need to have native access to
a piece of digium hardware to perform well...  Under the virtual machine,
that won't happen.

 Your e-mail made me chuckle. When I worked at Octel/Lucent
 in the mid-90's we were constantly sniped at for trying to make
 a voicemail system which ran on general purpose computers, operating
 systems, and message stores. It was hard work to get it to run
 smoothly back then even though we were the only application on the box.

 And today there's a guy who's trying to do the same thing
 in a VIRTUAL MACHINE !?!?!?

Hi,

From the message archive I have seen that only for MOH you neet some Digium
hardware or some software timers/emulators like ztdummy.
You need for playback too?
Then why it works on a standard linux machine without any such 'emulators'?

Install the ztdummy and see if it fixes your choppiness. If it doesn't,
then you do have a performance problem from being in vmware. You will
then have to just accept it.

In the mid 90s much of the world's voicemail used Dialogic cards in PC 
servers, and ran without problems. Voicemail is easy, as the latency 
requires are very lax. VoIP is much harder in systems not tailored for 
hard real time use.

If you're to use vmware, do it the other way around - linux host with

Hi Steven,

 Install the ztdummy and see if it fixes your choppiness. If it doesn't,
 then you do have a performance problem from being in vmware. You will
 then have to just accept it.
I have this installed, but when Asterisk is started, I still get the
following warning:

[Asterisk-Users] IAX can be used on a different UDP port?

2003-07-19 Thread Dan
Hi,

I'm back with my question, maybe someone can help me:
I want to use IAX on another UDP port (not the default 5036), because I have
2 Asterisks behind the same NAT.
Changing the default port in iax.conf file from 5036 to 5038 and then
calling using the syntax:

exten = _8XXX,1,Dial(IAX/user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:5038/${EXTEN:1})

I get the follwing error in the Asterisk console:

-- Executing Dial(SIP/351-24f4, IAX/user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:5038/500)
in new stack
WARNING[1200825920]: File chan_iax.c, Line 1550 (create_addr): No such host:
195.3.32.191:5038
NOTICE[1200825920]: File app_dial.c, Line 488 (dial_exec): Unable to create
channel of type 'IAX'
  == Everyone is busy at this time

It is something wrong?

It works like a charm with the default port, so it is not a
user/authentication problem.

Dan

I now that this is a cheaper option (to buy or build a new pc), but I don't

It is so difficult to understand that?
I have a small flat with two rooms. I want to be able to sleep too in the

[Asterisk-Users] Call Transfer Anouncement

2003-07-19 Thread listasterisk
Ok the scenario  want to acheive is:

Call between A and B is established.  A wants to transfer B to C, so A presses 
# and then the extension of C.  This puts B on hold, and a connection between A 
and C is established.  Then, when A hangs up the call, B and C get connected.

I am using H323 phones, at the moment when A dials # and the extension of C, A 
is immediately cut off, and the B gets connected to C..

Any ideas?

[Asterisk-Users] XS4ALL Gateway now also does FWD

2003-07-19 Thread The Traveller
Yo all,

I just added FWD (http://fwd.pulver.com/) to the XS4ALL PSTN-gateway.
Here's a quick update on how it works:

VoIP:

From IAXTel, dial 31800rest of number for Dutch toll-free numbers.
FWD is not (yet) directly reachable from IAXTel.  I'll talk to Mark to
see if he's intrested in setting this up.

From FWD, dial 42442, wait for the dial-tone and dial your number.  This
can be any IAXTel-number or Dutch toll-free PSTN-number (starting with 0800).


PSTN:

From the PSTN, dial +31 20 3987567, wait for the dial-tone and dial your
number.  This can be any IAXTel-number or 5-digit FWD-number.


Note that I'll probably include the other numbers and prefixes on
FWD shortly.  For now, it only does the standard 5-digit numbers.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.



   Grtz,

  Oliver

   Dan,
 
 What type of "virtual harddisk" did you create in your linux vmware virtual 
machine? As far as I know, the default type is a kind of compressed harddisk 
image, to save disk space in the host machine. Perhaps that is the answer
to have bad performance only in local services, opening local files in vmware:
the overhead to decompress.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] VoIP in hotels

Our company can offer VoIP to premises and domestic users and bill the

Asterisk can certainly do exactly what you need.

(PS: Our radius (and every telephony equipment outside the hotel) does 
not recognise which room in the hotel initiated the international 
(VoIP) call, so that's the main problem - Only the hotel's PMS knows 
which guest phoned, so with our current setup we cannot bill the 
individual guest, but the hotel as a whole)


First drop RADIUS like a prom dress and either create or find a real 
billing platform.  You simply need a however many  T400Ps and FXS 
channel banks that can interface into your existing hotel room phones. 
Then with a proper billing platform your system will automagicly know 
exactly which FXS port made that call and would make the connection to 
which room made the call all in real-time.

This is very simple, no need to over complicate the matter with a 
useless technology like RADIUS.

[Asterisk-Users] Analog phone not ringing

2003-07-19 Thread Darren Poulson
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I've got my developers kit from telappliant and got a machine up and running 
to become the house phone system. Most things are working now, such as 
incoming calls, call transfer, call parking, voicemail, etc.

The one thing I can't do is make my analog phone ring! I can see the call 
coming in on the asterisk console and can then pick up the analog phone, but 
no ringing!

Incoming calls come in on the X100P (channel 1), the analog phone is on the 
only other channel from a TDM400P

The one thing that I think it could be is the connector to convert from RJ45 
to BT phone socket. I'm using a mod tap that I had lying around. Not sure 
what the wiring is like inside it.

Thanks,

Darren.

The console has these messages:

[Asterisk-Users] Dlink dg102s and G.729

2003-07-19 Thread Alexandre Rosa
Hi all,


I'm making a small voip network with asterisk and Dlink dg102s gateways
(MGCP).

Dlink gateways work with g.711, g731 and g729 codecs.

The questions:

do i need a g729 codec license for asterisk for dlink use g.729 or just
configure asterisk to inform gateways to utilize then ?

Anyone have a .conf(s) example(s) to send-me ?

Thank's

Alexandre da Rosa

That's a pretty good bet.  Depending on the phone I've regularly had to 
swap wires, solder wires together or add capacitors to get phones to work 
with my ATA 186 and even ordinary phone lines here in darkest Sussex. 
There seem to be a number of wiring variations that can cause problems - 
you can use google to get many references to the possible solutions.

In the UK, phones use a three-wire connection with a separate line for
the ringer.  This is supposed to stop phone bells tinkling when
another phone is dialled.

Anyway - you need the RJ11 to BT adapter that includes the ringing
capacitor.  Maplin sells the adapters both with and without the cap.

[Asterisk-Users] file repository

2003-07-19 Thread Steve Bourg
Hey All, I asked around on irc about the existence of a file repository
for various asterisk modules, patches, etc - that are not included in the
asterisk cvs tree.  I did not come across anything so feel free to utilize
what I've setup at ftp.packetwest.com  /pub/asterisk will hopefully fill
with lots of goodies.  If you have something to post, please dump it to
/incoming and I
will regularly transfer it over to /pub/asterisk after verifying the
integrity of any compressed/packaged files.

If I've already duplicated someone else's effort please let me know!  I
will be happy to provide a mirror of a preexisting repository that is
active.

Dan,

What type of virtual harddisk did you create in your linux vmware 
virtual machine? As far as I know, the default type is a kind of 
compressed harddisk image, to save disk space in the host machine. 
Perhaps that is the answer to have bad performance only in local 
services, opening local files in vmware: the overhead to decompress.

That seems a rather US view of things. The practice is Asia, and 
particularly in Taiwan, has generally been to cut prices to the bone on 
new things, and try to drive market volumes from there. They made ADSL 
cheap when the volumes were still modest.

I'm not convinced the volumes are that small. I believe Cisco alone has 
shipped several million lines of VoIP. That would be more than enough to 
get the Asian makers interested in aggressive cost reduction work. It 
doesn't need a lot of complex expensive and risky development. It 
doesn't, for example, require complex custom chips, as the DSL business 
did. An OMAP chip, for example, has most of what you need, except the 
ethernet port. Those are some of the biggest volume chips made, so 
prices are very keen.

Steve
