A lot of that depends on your definition of an event, the detection of that event, and what you might have for available resources to deal with the event.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] extensions and regular expressions ( probably an easy question )
It's kind of tough to truly understand what you are trying to accomplish Ack, sorry! It's hard to post to the list on a saturday when my 2year old is wanting to play with the keyboard as well. Best I can do is half a mind, most of the time that's enough. Not always, however. :) (or ask for). Apparently you've got something more in mind that words are making it through the list. Reading between the lines, it would appear from the 800-in that calls are coming in from some external source, and you trying to do something with them. Can you be a little more explicit I have an 800 number from teliax. When my local users dial it, they will dial 1866... instead of the 866 I have in my dial plan. I do not want the call to use one of my external sources to terminate the call ( in essence, dialing out via voicepulse, and recieving the call via teliax ). I know I can do two seperate exten patterns, but I was hoping for a single pattern. To that end, I was wondering if there was a way of saying Match this 0 or 1 times, something I'm used to in perl and the like. If there isn't, there isn't. Won't kill me to add the second exten match. That makes more sense. As far as the pattern matching portion, I'd stick with what was suggested previously... exten = 18661234567,1, exten = 8661234567,1, unless you have a need for a large number of these. From a self-documenting perspective, the above is very easy to understand (months later) by anyone, and probably burns fewer cycles then trying to match and insert a digit, etc. Personal preference is the KISS method to the extent possible. ;) ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] MeetMe questions
I have seen several different explanations of how MeetMe is supposed to function. I am having a tough time figuring out which is correct. If I put the room number in the extensions.conf file, I never get prompted for a PIN. When I leave it out of the extensions.conf file, I get prompted for a room number and a PIN. What I want, is to have a room number based on the DID extension that asks the user to enter his/her PIN. I can't make that happen. Here is my current files: extensions.conf: [ext-meetme] exten = 5570,1,Answer exten = 5570,2,wait(1) exten = 5570,3,MeetMe(|M) Meetme.conf: conf = 100,2321 conf = 101,2331 conf = 102,2231 1. How can I get 5570 always go to room 100 and just prompt the caller for a pin? 2. Ideally, I'd like to have a leader passcode and a participant passcode where the participants can't talk to each other until the leader joins. Any way to do that? For question #1, take a look at 'show application meetme' and some of the examples on the wiki. Here's two simple examples: ; Meetme Conference room #1 (no pin required) exten = 3555,1,Meetme(3555|pM) ; Meetme Conference room #2 (pin number required to join) exten = 3556,1,Answer exten = 3556,2,Wait,1 exten = 3556,3,Authenticate(45678) exten = 3556,4,Meetme(3556|pM) For question #2, not sure how to accomplish that; never had to attempt that before. Pure guess is it would likely involve an AGI script and multiple access numbers, but others may have a better perspective then I. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[Asterisk-Users] outgoing calls that last an unreasonably long time
I'm running asterisk 1.0.9 with TDM400B's for both internal and external lines. I put in the macro that dials outside lines an AbsoluteTimeout(36000), never expecting it to happen. But it does, a few times a month. I've noticed an odd thing, it seems that it usually happens twice in a row from the same internal phone (connected to a TDM400B, not an IP phone) as if someone dialed a number, something went wrong, they flashed and dialed again. What happened next I don't know. If they left the phone offhook for the rest of the day, that could explain how they managed to keep two outside lines busy. What is frustrating is that the cdr file shows the dst as T rather than as the phone number dialed. I realize that AbsoluteTimout causes it to jump to the T extension, but it would help to know who the user dialed (asking a week later isn't going to get any useful information out of the user). It's not in the log file, either - would increasing the log level help here? I'm reluctant to decrease the abosolute timeout because someone is going to come to me saying I was on hold for five hours for tech support and before I finally got a human, I was disconnected and had to wait all over again. Is there something I could run from the console that would show how long each channel has been connected, and to who? That way we might be able to catch the next one of these as it happens instead of much later. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

RE: [Asterisk-Users] SRV Lookups *ARRGH!*
Phillip. The link to the Wiki is woefully indadequate. I have no problem adding to the documentation, as soon as I bloody understand it myself. The two bug links you provided appear to be almost completely unrelated to what I asked about except they touch on the subject of SRV lookups. If you can't reference the proxy to dial in sip.conf, then you lose the ability to set a whole bunch of options (such as qualify which is required for detecting CONGESTION when the proxy is down etc). If I stick with an IP/host and refer to what's in sip.conf, Asterisk ends URI's like sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] which is but ugly and breaks SIP in general. Oh, and you know what, why is it assumed that to use open source software I have to be a seasoned C programmer who can contribute to the code? Where is that requirement stipulated? At this point I'm almost ready to throw Asterisk out the window and suggest we spend $300,000 on the Sylantro solution.

[Asterisk-Users] SRV Lookups
Anyone know when Asterisk is going to properly support DNS SRV Lookups? We have Asterisk, OpenSER and Polycom phones here. The Polycom phones seem to have about the best implementation. They at least try a second system (round-robin based on equal weights is flaky tho) if the first doesn't respond unlike Asterisk and OpenSER. It's kinda hard to build a REDUNDANT VOIP network when more than 2/3 of it doesn't support SRV lookups! This also means you have to use IP addresses and hostnames a lot of the time, which makes routing a mess. Yuck!

[Asterisk-Users] SIP Qualify
Can someone tell me why qualify=yes is required in sip.conf, before you can detect the dialled status of a channel? If I don't have qualify=yes against a peer, than checking ${DIALSTATUS} has no effect. Asterisk will just keep trying until the dial timeout expires. Why can't asterisk actually LOOK at the SIP response returned by the SIP proxy and do something with it? Why can't it detect a failure to connect (ie proxy down) and do something based on that?

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Dynamic DNS
Hi everyone, I am running two Asterisk servers on two machines that have dynamic DNS due to ISP changing IP address daily. Both servers are registered on DynDns.org and IP update scripts work fine on both machines. However, if one machine changes IP address, other one (that has trunk pointing to machine that changed address) starts displaying that trunk host is not reachable. O.k. I thought, it is DNS propagation problem, but it is NOT! Even one hour after IP change, machine A still points to old IP address and says that it is not reachable. Is there any solution?

restart Asterisk as it cache's the IP when you start Asterisk and will not re-read the new IP until you restart. Thats why its important to have a static IP address.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Dynamic DNS
Hope this helps. I had a similar problem today, when I changed the machine that my single installation of Asterisk runs on, but keeping the same IP address. My Sipura ATA took about 10 minutes to pick up the new machine (even though the IP address had not changed). I deduced that it needed the registration to time out before it did the lookup again, and thus reset the ARP cache. So, try changing the registration time out to something shorter...say 5 minutes or so, see if that helps.

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Dynamic DNS
It is not problem with outdated DNS cache. It takes approximatelly 2 minutes for DynDns entry to propagate and my router picks it up. However Asterisk does reverse name lookup (instead of trying to resolve server.dyndns.org to IP address and pick up new one, it does reverse lookup on old IP address which happen to be valid ISP IP adress from some dynamic pool). I can't make Asterisk to perform direct DNS lookup. I tried dnsmgr.conf to decrease timeout to 60 sec, but it doesn't seem to have effect without enabling managed dns. If I enable managed dns then instead of host name I get UNSPECIFIED in IAX2 peer list and that is end of story. Any other thoughts?

If you do not have srvlookup=yes in your sip.conf in the general section, SRV records will never be searched. Oh, and you know what, why is it assumed that to use open source software I have to be a seasoned C programmer who can contribute to the code? Where is that requirement stipulated? Nowhere - you just invented that. Why should you need to know C in order to put a bounty, or just formulate well documented bug report? Or where does the Wiki require C knowledge (talking about contributing, not using - you don't need C skills to at all to use asterisk). Asterisk is not perfect, there is a lot of work in progress (sometimes too much), but it is the only one of its kind, it works, and it gets better day-by-day. And if you find a way to help with that (and preferably a way that doesn't step on people's collective toes): great!

[Asterisk-Users] Small / embedded system recommendations
I know it's been asked before, but this area moves rapidly. Would anyone have recommendations for a small or embedded system suitable for running Asterisk on? Ideally, we'd like two boxes: - One using compact flash, and is fanless, with rapid booting. - One with a hard disk for voicemail, call recording, etc. Preferably they would be capable of bridging 60 calls Zap-Zap or Zap-SIP, but we're willing to consider less powerful systems. The ability to take a single Digium card is desirable. Being able to run MySQL, Apache, and SER as well are essential, as it's for our upcoming ITSP in an office product, which uses these heavily. Speaking of which, this is moving forward. It will have all the end customer features of ITSP in a box (http://integrics.com/products/itsp/), but not billing, resellers, affiliates, calling cards, etc. We'll be looking for resellers, probably second quarter next year. If you're interested, feel free to email us, but we don't have much information yet, so will respond with a canned email for now.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Attack dialing
In Australia, dialling a number more than 3 times in a row without waiting a certain amount of time is not allowed to be programmed into a system. Not against the law, but againt telecom reg's. I think attack dialing means to dial all 10,000 number in an exchange, looking for modems and fax machines. BTW, Colorado Springs, Colorado has made it illegal to dial a number without intending to have a conversation sigh Probably something to do with NORAD or Space Command. Anyone have eny elegant dial plan config for attack dialing? Basically I just want to automatically and continuously dial a busy until it is answered and then hand it over to a SIP hanset. The OP just happened to use incorrect words for a pbx feature that is rather well known as camp-on. The majority (if not all manufacturers) do not allow the camp-on feature to be used with outside numbers; only pbx extensions. The retrydial that someone suggested is sort of a first step, but doesn't come close to what commercial pbx manufacturers call camp-on. In the commercial systems that I'm familiar with, if you call an extension that is busy, you press a predefined key for the system and hang up. The pbx then silently monitors for that extension to become available, and when it does, calls both the caller and the callee back, bridging the two together automatically. (Some systems use a destinctive ring for such camp-on return calls, and include the logic to test both exensions to be sure both are available before completing the camp-on return call.) I'm not a programmer and couldn't code this up if I wanted to, but it is a nice feature and all the basic components needed to develop the feature already exist in * code. I suppose some could code an agi script to do it, but it seems to me such a feature should be included in * code instead. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Dynamic DNS
If you're experiencing the same issue I am, there's a less painful solution than restarting asterisk. Asterisk resolves the externip (and, I think, externhost) parameters in sip.conf at startup. If the values are a domain name registered with dyndns.org, and the IP that these domain names point at changes, then you have a problem. It turns out that sip reload will cause it to resolve externip (for sure, and I assume externhost as well) again. So I run a cron job to do a sip reload periodically. (Ideally, I want to trigger this job from my dyndns ip-change script, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. Doing it every 5 minutes is a bit of an ugly hack, but it works for me.)

RE: [Asterisk-Users] extensions and regular expressions ( probablyan easy question )
I just wanted to throw in here that I was intrigued by the question, so I went through the Asterisk, The Future of Telephony book, all the notes I've gathered, and every single link that looked even mildly promising. From what I see, you're asking if you can use a regular expression to match against the dialed number. You _COULD_ if you wanted to do something like this (on ALL calls being dialed by your users) exten = _X.,1,GotoIf($[${REGEX(YOUR_REGEX_HERE ${EXTEN})} = 1]?800-in,s,1:2) Easy-read format (how I design stuff before writing it fully) exten = anynumber If the number dialed matches the regex pattern, goto the 800-in context, at the s extension, priority 1 Otherwise, continue on to priority 2 in this extension context. If you'd like to save a minute amount of cpu/mem/time, you can match against 10+ numbers only, using _XX. as the pattern to match against, which will match against any set of numbers 10 or more digits long.

I do not want the call to use one of my external sources to terminate the call ( in essence, dialing out via voicepulse, and recieving the call via teliax ). I know I can do two seperate exten patterns, but I was hoping for a single pattern. To that end, I was wondering if there was a way of saying Match this 0 or 1 times, something I'm used to in perl and the like. If there isn't, there isn't.

Hi Dan, Thanks for the info, but what I'm after is the ability to match a digit/character 0 or 1 times at the beginning of the string.

[Asterisk-Users] Mechanisms for Implementing a Common Contact Database
Well, I feel like I'm flogging a dead horse here, but I figured I'd at least do my bit and throw some ideas out there about how to implement a common contact database now that it's been confirmed that Realtime can't do this. 1. A script that runs on one or more boxes in the Asterisk farm and at (very) regular intervals replicates the differences in the /var/lib/asterisk/astdb file, such that each Asterisk box always knows wheve every phone is and can therefore terminate calls to all phones. Wouldn't be too hard to write. Major con is that Asterisk has to be reloaded to see the new astdb file and I don't think I'd want to be performing reloads on a production system every say, 10s or so. 2. It'd be cool if the regcontext command actually did something. There's a myth out there that it does something like execute a command upon registration. Even the O'Reilly The Future of Telephony seems to think this. After reading some posts in the developer discussion I can say it doesn't. It would be great though, if upon registration from a phone, Asterisk could perform some action, say for example copying the registration to another Asterisk system. 3. Phones register to OpenSER. Openser upon a REGISTER forwards the packets to N number of Asterisk boxes who then get a registration for the user. I've tested this and it works. Each Asterisk system then knows where every phone is and can terminate calls to any phone. However, I'm no SER expert (is anyone) and when the phones start sending SUBSCRIBE and receiving NOTIFY messages, with SER in the middle, it all gets very ugly. 4. Could all Asterisk systems be given access to a common file store? NFS or a SAN maybe? Does anyone know what what happen if multiple Asterisk boxes tried to use/write to the same astdb file? Anyone? Anyone? 5. DUNDi? Couldn't get it to work. Spent weeks on it and then realised that all the examples have RSA keys in what I thought was sip.conf. The sip.conf file doesn't support RSA keys. I really hopes someone takes the time to reply to this message. Surely I'm not the only person in the universe who's trying to implement a HA Asterisk system. I would think it would be for the good of all to come up with some sort of a solution. It amazes me that when I search for Asterisk redundancy on google, I keep coming up with my own posts! I feel like I have been beating my head against a wall. Every time I think I'm close to coming up with some sort of hack or solution, some other limitation gets in the way and stops it dead in it's tracks. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] New Product ID.
I am asking all the VOIP Gurus and any developers out there if a product exists and if not if anyone would want to help me develop such product. With the onslaught of new homes that are wired with networking capabilities. I was wondering if there is a product out there developed that can be used by Asterisk for intercom systems in homes, business or multi-dwelling buildings. I want to know if there is a system that you can install that will use SIP as the communication mechanism but install in every room and dial the extension of the rooms or do an extension that does a broadcast for all the intercoms. If this product exists can someone tell me who makes it and point me out to the websites. If not if someone is interested in developing such a product and cobranding it let me know. This unit would be an all in one system wall mounted in rooms that can be used inside or outside of entrance doors without a special intercom system. I believe that such a device would allow better marketing for Asterisk and VOIP systems to make their entrance in the residential field. This would allow builders to further push VOIP in their new dwellings.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Major Advantages of Asterisk vs Nortel PBX Systems
Depends on what Nortel you're using. But here's just a few I can say from being a Nortel PBX guy a while back: Cost (depends on the situation) Ability to write just about ANYTHING to interact with your phone system. Just about anything you want can be done if you apply the time to do it, or find someone that already has. RealTime Database storage of (this works reliably in my experience): Call Detail Records SIP Users (phones) Voicemail Settings for the Users I also use the DB to store other user options that are not part of the system. No need to purchase modules for extra functions Powerful dialplan and IVR control: Match information against a regular _expression_, even if the information comes from an external source? Query other PBXs to find a route to a number (DUNDi) Supoprt Video (withoutlarge expense, Asterisk has SIP Video support already) Loopa portion of the dialplan while a conditionis false Use on ANY hardware that's capable of handling the load? You can use the PBX hardwareto do other things WHILE it's acting as the PBX. (This can vary obviously) Management API for monitoring and controlling I could go on and on... I'm no "Asterisk is the solution for everyone's PBX" guy, but it can work for just about any situation if it's done right.
