[Asterisk-Users] Auto-dial from webpage

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Survey: Grandstream improvements.........
Hi List, I had a wonderful meeting with GS's President last week and he is very interested in feedback on what top features, functions, bugs the community would like to see in upcoming firmware. Please keep in mind that adding new features take time to develop, test and such. So please rate your ideas on a scale of 1-10 1 = Nice to have some day 10 = Got to have it right now Things like ring tones and fixing call waiting are already on the list. :) Lets also keep the replys away from gripes and complaints and more towards constructive comments. I'll be taking the results and sending GS a summary. John Brown, Chagres Technologies, Inc John - I've discussed some of these with you, but here are a few for consumption and comments by the list: 8 - Encryption. * will probably support it as soon as some reasonable handsets support it. Grandstream should be the initiator in this process, with SRTP or some other RFC-approved method for delivering crypto SIP audio channels. Every business I talk to lists this on their priority chart for VoIP, and there are NO ANSWERS right now from major SIP handset vendors as far as voice crypto goes. I'm starting to think that it's a conspiracy. 8 - The TFTP configuration nonsense has been discussed. This needs to turn into an openly documented standard. Proprietary standards are useless, and all of them die eventually - why prolong the agony on your customers? 5 - Weight. Phone should weigh more. I'm constantly pulling it across the table with only the slightest stretching of the phone cord. 6 - Tilting display. Display should tilt up so I can actually read it. OR: base that tilts the whole phone up about 45 degrees (note: if this is the case, the weight issue really needs to be resolved) 9 - Buttons. The 102 model I have absolutely SUCKS as far as the buttons go. I have to pretty much press them like manual typewriter keys to get them to work. Any lateral force causes them to bind up. 10 - button response. Even when I _do_ manage to press the keys firmly enough, if I type too fast the keystrokes are lost. This is really, REALLY annoying. Button response needs to be sped up significantly. I almost always have to dial every number two or three times, or slow down to one button every second. Thus, I use my Cisco phones and leave the grandstream to gather dust. JT ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

More volume out of the speakerphone, and better range of the headset volume. I guess it would be sort of out there but if it were possible to separately adjust them that would be boss. To get the speakerphone to even be heard whilst hunching over it requires full volume. But then if someone calls and I don't put it back down it blasts my ears off. 2. Support for lower-b/w codecs. My list would include iLBC, Speex, and GSM. 3. Announced (supervised? consultative?) Transfers. 4. IAX support, which would lead to better NAT support. Thx.

John Brown, Chagres Technologies, Inc Buy your VoIP hardware from us email: sales at chagres d0t net for quotes Hi John, My biggest issue is a hardware issue and is the single biggest reason why I have not been able to sell the GS phones into a company and that is the 10Mbps ethernet ports.. I guess if you are using the 101 then its not much of an issue but the whole cost saving is to cut down on wiring costs so the only model we even look at it the 102.. I don't have a single client that runs 10Mbps ethernet in their offices anymore and to tell them that the phone will downgrade their network speed to 10Mbps puts them off the phone straight away.. Staying with hardware, the screen needs to be angled a little to make it easier to read and needs to support more digits, and the buttons need to be easier to press.. Here are my suggestions for firmware updates.. 10 - Support for open low bandwidth codecs, specifically iLBC and GSM. 10 - Consultative Transfer. 7 - A nice feature of the Snom phones is the ability to type in the number with the handset still down and then the number is dialed when the handset is lifted or the OK button is pressed. This way you can take as long as you like to dial a number.. GS have the send/dial button so this feature should not be hard to add.. Adding to this.. it would be nice to be able to go through the Called and Callers call logs with the handset down and then when on the number you want to dial just lift the handset.. 5- Config refresh, apply config settings (even some of then) without needing to reboot the phone. Mark on the config page which settings will require a reboot to take effect.. 3 - Show the text part of the CallerID..(Think this may be a hardware issue or limitation) Fianally hardware support.. I had a power supply go on one of my GS phones, I purchased that phone from GS's agent in the US before there was anywhere to buy the phones in the UK, I contacted GS and then appologised and asked for my address, I assumed that was so I could be sent a replacement, I sent them my address..Now months later I have sent follow up emails which never get a response and I still don't have a replacement power supply.. so maybe you can speak to the president about that too..

If during a call you switch on the speaker then if you press th speakerphone button again to switch it off it hangs up the phone. However if you put the phone down instead and then pick it up again the speaker goes off and the call remains connected.

Michael My issue is not the encoding of the digits into the data stream, but the ability of the device to recognize the keystrokes. I use INFO, as well, after the usual failed experiments with inband and RFC2833 encoding. It just seems like there is some hardware issue that is not fast enough to catch my key presses. This is even before the call is handed off to the proxy (initial dial) so it's not a data transfer problem...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Survey: Grandstream improvements.........
+1 on both of these points. The power brick is cheap and nasty. POE would be a huge plus. A 100mb bridge would make the phone a lot more attractive in an office full of cables. I specifically stated a wide POE range because let's face it, with the power requirements that phone has, a wide-input-range DC-DC converter is _peanuts_, especially if you've already got a tiny switchmode converter for line power. A very wide range on POE input makes it easy to mix and match phones too. Hell if you've got a switcher already, you can make it autosense polarity too. Don't pull a Cisco. Don't try and lock your users in to one brand of switches. As for the 100mbit switch -- again I was very specific here -- don't throw on one of those $0.25 100 mbit switch chips that can only sustain about 1MB/sec -- I put in a 100mbit switched network to achieve 11MB/sec sustained, not burst. A two-port switch capable of full sustained network speed shouldn't be expensive and can really be a big marketing feature. We won't screw your network speeds kind of thing. :-) I'd also add my voice to the request for a better speakerphone. The dialtone comes out loud and clear but everything else is too muted.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Survey: Grandstream improvements.........
John, I second Brian's comments. After setting up 20 GS phones using their somewhat odd web interface, I would really appreciate a more rational provisioning system for small to medium installations. I would add the following: cfgEveryone.txt:Generic setup for all phones. Read first - and overridden by cfgMACADDRESS.txt:the specific setup items for each phone. Note, that there already seems to be a config file format (undocumented). If this is true, GS should at least publish the format and let the OS community have a go at a configurator. Also, the daylight savings option will ultimately need to be fixed to include date recognition. The current setup requires that you log into every phone twice each year to turn the option on/off. For installations with a large number of phones, this is going to be a real headache. And, the speakerphone button needs to be fixed. It works now almost perfectly. The only glitch is when you are on the speakerphone and want to switch back to the handset. If the handset is on the cradle, picking it up will transfer the call to the headset from the speakerphone. However, if you have the handset off hook already and press the speakerphone button expecting to transfer back to the handset, you are disconnected. The documentation states that it is a toggle. It isn't. The workaround is to press the on-hook button momentarily and you are switched back to the handset. Nevertheless, the speakerphone button should not hang up the line unless the receiver is already on hook. Finally, the documentation for IP QOS, VLAN Tag and Dialplan need to be expanded/included. Stephen R. Besch John, I want the tftp configs done like cfgMACADDRESS.txt or compile them into a binary form like the ATA's use. And stop trying to rip us for the GAPS system. WHAT A RIP.

Hello everyone: I have a few questions about IAX. As I understand IAX is used for Inter-* communications. 1. How do the asterisk boxes communicate?

If I have a scenario where I'd like to use * as a PBX in a Small to medium enterprise and at the same time use another Asterisk box at a service providers office where it connects to a PSTN and the internet. Would such a setup work with IAX? 3. Is there some documentation about setting up IAX and different deployment scenarios? Thanks for your help.

The only way I can see to connect all phones to one socket would be to daisy chain them. This would not be a good solution since: - all phones would use the same 10mbps segment, chances for collisions would be high - rules of Ethernet would be violated so even if it did work it may stop at any point with some other normally minor change. I defer to your knowledge in this area, but I would be interested to know what the limit is in terms of the number of devices that can be put inline. On the subject of collisions it seems to me that individual phone bandwidth use is relatively limited when compared to the 10Mbit/s available, so would the problem really be that substantial? Personally I currently have: Hub - Phone - Phone - Laptop No visible problems here, so certainly 3 phones in a line would seem to work. I suppose it all comes down to how many phones you put in a line. Michael Too many switches/hubs will cause late collisions. Late collisions are ethernet collisions that happen after the transmitting station has finished transmitting. If it is a store and forward switch, then the switch can retransmit on collision, otherwise the packet is completely lost. This is the same reason why an ethernet cable cannot be over 300 feet. The first bit of the ethernet frame must get to the farthest node in an ethernet segment before the last bit is transmitted by the originating station. This length is based on speed one bit takes to span the distance and the minimum ethernet frame size (64 bytes).

Re: [Asterisk-Users] A software FAX modem
Hi, I did say this was a first test release :-) I can't be held responsible for libtiff being empty on your machine, but they other issues are my fault. I have put a new tarball up, which should need nothing more than libtiff for the library to work. All the other libraries you had issues with are only needed by the test programs. ./configure will now only set things up to build the library. ./configure --enable-doc --enable-tests --enable-itutests will set things up to be everything. This newer tarball also has improvements in the software. The V.29 modem now works at all three speeds - 9600, 7200, and 4800bps. Previously I had only debugged the 9600bps mode. FAX doesn't actually use the 4800bps mode, but I thought I ought to fully implement the spec. (thats another way of saying it was easy to do after getting 9600 and 7200 working :-) ). I also fixed something that could cause crashes if you tried to send a non-existant TIFF file. I'm sorry if I disappointed the early adopters, but it *will* get better.

In that case, a number of tweaks are probably needed before this new software is adequately tolerant of the behaviour of real world machines. First off, let me start by saying I think this is a great new step that is greatly appreciated (at least by me) toward a complete telephony platform. Second off, I just tried to build and install. Some comments up till now: - The compilation process asks for libaudiofile headerfiles (-dev package) - this was not default on my box.

Installation here sucks once more: the mentioned tiffiop.h is not installed in /usr/local/include as I suppose it should, same goes for several other header files. Easiest was to just point the Makefile in your src/ tree toward the libtiff source. - The linker tries to access fftw (Fourier libraries). Not default installed on my system, should probably be added to documentation - The linker tries to access unicall. What is this ?

Your ideas are great though :)Mark I did encounter the groups but I was encountering some difficulty with the metric when I added a group into a queue it always seemed to win the metric battle despite the penalty. Something I have been playing with is taking the penalty and using it to rank the queue members by regenerating queues.conf every 1 hour with every agent defined seperatly and each with a different penalty so , in the case of sales, using the cdr and some carefully plannedrelations between sales records and a database I would calculate the efficiency of the sales team every 1 hour and redraw the queue moving the best performers to the top. My motivation for the skillbased routing comes more from a tech support requirement than a sales one. My intention is to make a database of agents with the various skills they possess all wrapped up into that 1 numeric representation. My examples would have better suited me if they demonstrated this better 1 = email expert 2 = unix expert 4= windows expert (huh?) 7= hardware specialist Then when a call comes in and after a few questions you determine the call requires the attention of someone who understandsunix issues Onewould pass thevalue2 as the skillmask allowing any agent with the 'unix' bit set (a.k.a. 2) to take the call. Also I want to implement dynamic queue addition using this concept so an AGI can be used to query your agent id then make several calls to AddQueueMember and report your current skillset via the skillmask parameter. I know asterisk has an app for talking to pg and so forth but what I like the most about it is it's similarity to 'legos' so I try and follow that mentality where you dont make features for it you make interfaces to hang your features. just like lego only provides you with a pile of bricks and a few specialized ones such as motor lights etc..

Elrod, Though it may look like the extension is dialed first, it isn't. The order of that file doesn't mater and * will always dial the extension first. Give John's example a try and it should work. Here's some tips: - the file name doesn't mater - set up a file in another directory then just copy the file to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing and * will process and delete it. This way you can easily modify your test file - Careful which context you use in /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf to make sure it's correct. -adj Ashley, It would appear that the order IS important.. I have just tried a test file with the Channel: entry being my Cell number and the Context/Exten/Priority being my extension and it did as I expected, It dialed my Cell phone fisrt and when I answered my Cell phone I heard ringing as my extension on my dask started to ring.. Looks like it must be done in the order of source(extension) then destination(external phone number)..

Re: (Ethernet issues) RE: [Asterisk-Users] Survey: Grandstream improvements.........
Personally, I just wire every jack the same way back to the patch panels, 4pr cat5 or better, terminated in an rj45. Back at the panel wire the blue pair to your analog telephony stuff, and the org/grn to your networking. Then if you plug in an rj11 you get a phone line, if you plug in a network cable that works too. Some would say this is wasteful of wire, but in reality the wire is the least part of the cost of a cabling installation. Labour far outweighs it. If you want a physical 10mb/sec subnet for your phones, easy, just patch the relevant jacks into that hub/switch, separated from the jacks used from your data network. There are also some ways to stretch this distance limit if you are careful, and limit the branching topology of the lan segment. This is the same reason why an ethernet cable cannot be over 300 feet. The first bit of the ethernet frame must get to the farthest node in an ethernet segment before the last bit is transmitted by the originating station. This length is based on speed one bit takes to span the distance and the minimum ethernet frame size (64 bytes). Currently the limit is 5 non-store and forward switches/hubs. -- END OF LINE ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Asterisk is very aggressive in grabbing these files, and if you're still creating it when it grabs the file, you'll get errors, so best to create first and then copy in to the outgoing directory all at once. Creating this file elsewhere would help in keeping track of whether or not your script created the file, and if it did so correctly.

We have a 10 and we need it yesterday (as well as many other people who don't even know it). We have a Bug report at GS. The problem is with STUN and changing IP Addresses. It happens like this: 1. Phone does a STUN query and registers fine. 2. If the public IP Address changes sometime later (like on a DSL line that disconnects and connects back), the phone will keep registering with the original IP address, and thus will fail to work properly. It apparently does not attempt further STUN queries for registration purposes. STUN isn't even needed nat=yes is all you need and it just works. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] A software FAX modem
I did say this was a first test release :-) I can't be held responsible for libtiff being empty on your machine, but they other issues are my fault. I have put a new tarball up, which should need nothing more than libtiff for the library to work. All the other libraries you had issues with are only needed by the test programs. ./configure will now only set things up to build the library. ./configure --enable-doc --enable-tests --enable-itutests will set things up to be everything. This newer tarball also has improvements in the software. The V.29 modem now works at all three speeds - 9600, 7200, and 4800bps. Previously I had only debugged the 9600bps mode. FAX doesn't actually use the 4800bps mode, but I thought I ought to fully implement the spec. (thats another way of saying it was easy to do after getting 9600 and 7200 working :-) ). I also fixed something that could cause crashes if you tried to send a non-existant TIFF file. I'm sorry if I disappointed the early adopters, but it *will* get better.

Better to simply use the file's date/time stamp to order the messages. defragmenting is a rather poor band aid type fix. Think about the case where the defragmentor is runnig while multiple inbound callers are all leaving voicemail while at the same time the user is listening to his voise mail. Yes this can happen on a popular mailbox. Oh and then there is the case where a voicemail file was e-mailed and now the user wants to find the voicemail file that matchs the one he was e-mailed. No, don't go changing file names. Ideally this kind of stuff would go into a DBMS.

I have put a new tarball up, which should need nothing more than libtiff for the library to work. All the other libraries you had issues with are only needed by the test programs. ./configure will now only set things up to build the library. ./configure --enable-doc --enable-tests --enable-itutests will set things up to be everything. Looks like I've got a specific Mandrake problem. Is any one else trying MDK 9.0? 9.0 does not have the aclocal-1.6/automake-1.6 combination so Makefile.am fails, I'll have to update them. With 9.2 ./configure works but make barks because tiffiop.h requires tif_dir.h which is nowhere to be found. Has anyone got a copy of that, or know which package it is in? I really want to give this a try because the one thing I haven't got is a working fax. Thanks for your hard work Steve, you've done the hardest bit now it's just to sort out Mandrake, comme d'habitude. -- Dave Cotton [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Hi List, I had a wonderful meeting with GS's President last week and he is very interested in feedback on what top features, functions, bugs the community would like to see in upcoming firmware. Please keep in mind that adding new features take time to develop, test and such. So please rate your ideas on a scale of 1-10 1 = Nice to have some day 10 = Got to have it right now Things like ring tones and fixing call waiting are already on the list. :) Lets also keep the replys away from gripes and complaints and more towards constructive comments.
