[Asterisk-Users] Anyone with VIP-450
Hi all, While I am making my VoIP gateway to fix G.711, I just want to know who has done Asterisk with Planet VIP-450T DTMF out-of-band relay before... The supporting document says "DTMF relay uses SIP specification", it sounds like it support SIP-INFO, but I'm not sure.

[Asterisk-Users] RE: Wildcard TDM2400P: comments
We are also looking for analog port for fax and dialup modem. Yusuf, would you pls descript what stability issues you had with TDM400P? We are thinking about using TDM400P or Voicetronix OpenPCI-8S. Cheers, Isaac Well, we used the TDM400P a while back, obviously things might have been fixed sinc then. The issues I had were: the card just hanging the machine, or the card just stop taking calls. Can you define a LOT of pots line? Have you considered a channel bank. Here I'm running an ADTRAN 750. It's painless. You just need 1 T1 interface card for 24 lines. Jacques round about 30 pots lines. channel bank might be an option thanks Jacques yusuf wrote: Hi all, we have the need for alot of plain analog lines. We thinking of buying the new Wildcard TDM2400P. Does anybody have any comments with using this card, with any version of Asterisk, (maybe ill make this one Asterisk 1.2.x).

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Starting RTP with Dial and MusicOnHold
Hello, Do you try Answer() and then Dial(SIP/xyz,,m)??? Exten = ???,1,Answer() Exten = ???,2,Dial(SIP/xyz,,m) You need to answer the call before you can hear music on hold. Pedro Nunes -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aaron Clauson Sent: quinta-feira, 15 de Dezembro de 2005 4:45 To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Starting RTP with Dial and MusicOnHold Hi, I'm trying to get Asterisk working with a supplier's Cerpack switch and everything is working except audio ringback for calls coming from Cerpack to Asterisk. The Cerpack switch only does out of band progress indication (seems a bit strange for SIP to SIP calls?!) so I've spent the last two days trying to find a way to force Asterisk to send an RTP stream to Cerpack for ring back. Theoretically the Dial command with the m option looks to be exactly what I need: Dial(SIP/xyz,,m) This should play musiconhold back to the caller and in my case I just took a recording of the PSTN tones I wanted to play and created a musiconhold class for them. The command will work correctly when dialled from a SIP phone connected to Asterisk but not for calls coming from Cerpack. As far as I can tell this is because Asterisk won't initiate the RTP stream and waits for a packet from the client before starting to play the musiconhold, perhaps assuming the connection is not available until it gets a packet. In this case Cerpack isn't sending a packet so no audio is heard until the call is answered. Has anybody seen anything like this before?

[Asterisk-Users] QueueMetrics 1.0 rc 1 out today
Hello list, I am pleased to tell you that we have released a new version of QueueMetrics. This time QueueMetrics comes of age, as we have almost reached version 1.0. :-) This version is the result of a feature-freeze of version 0.9.7, and vastly improves memory efficiency, letting you analyze as much as two to four times the number of calls using the same amount of RAM. QueueMetrics is strongly focused to serve the largest commecial call-centers based on Asterisk, and is very often being installed on 100+ agents systems. Pause handling was improved in order to support even the weirdest cases of agents pausing in/out when not logged on. We are confident that you'll love this version! A complete list of improvements can be found here: http://queuemetrics.loway.it/news.jsp The latest version of QM can be downloaded from http://queuemetrics.loway.it/download.jsp QueueMerics is free to use and experiment for smaller call centers, home users and general Asterisk hackers.

After answering, if asterisk plays background music, when the caller speaks, the music becomes unhearable, too noise, it's not possible to distinguish it from noise. I don't know how to handle this.

[Asterisk-Users] again - show queue info
Hello list, I am comparing results of "show queue myqueue" with data from /var/log/asterisk/queue_log and have some doubts about it. When I run "show queue myqueue", I get a value of 3 for the number of abandoned. When I check the queue_log file, I have 3 calls with status "EXITWITHTIMEOUT". This way I have realized that A means "unAnswered" and not actually "Abandoned". ( I GUESS EXITWITHKEY calls would also increment the value of A). My queue has a relatively short time out (45 secs) and then the caller redirected to a voicemail. I have developed a real time monitoring application that is not handling events yet, it is simply sending manager commands and printing out the results, and my call center managers are not satisfied with the information I am currently displaying, so, handling event is certainly the best way to accomplish my goals. Does any body else have comments about this statistics, and ways of showing good real time information for call center managers?

It turns out that the sip.conf context name and the registration username must be the same. Once I had done that for both the user and peer stanzas in sip.conf, things worked just fine. Argggh.

[Asterisk-Users] Small explanation of txgain rxgain statement please
Hi, I was just looking at: http://www.asteriskdocs.org/modules/tinycontent/content/docbook/current/docs-html/x1695.html regarding echo canceller tuning, and I noticed the statement Most people find that they need an rxgain level around 8.0 to have good echo cancellation. The txgain setting varies from installation to installation. Which feels a bit wrong :) Could someone explain why increasing the gain on the inbound zap leg (rxgain) would improve echo cancellation? Of have I misunderstood the roles and meanings of rxgain and txgain?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] sharing a line w/multiple extensions
I'd like to configure Asterisk so an incoming call from one POTS line is shared amongst multiple extensions - both SIP and analog. i.e. If one SIP phone answers the call, another SIP or analog extension phone can pick up and join the conversation. How do I configure this? Is it all in extensions.conf? Asterisk is not a key system. It does not behave this way. What do you mean by 'another SIP phone can pick up (...) the conversation'? Exactly what would the SIP phone user do to accomplish that? Think residential installation where someone picks up the phone in one room but someone in another room wants to join the conversation. Ideally, I'd like to have Line 1 on every phone (SIP or analog) behave this way. Another poster pointed out a good potential approach using meetme. When an incoming call comes in, it dials all SIP + analog phones. When someone picks up (don't know how I can detect this), it could transfer both parties to a meetme room. When additional extensions pickup, they go to the meetme room. When everyone hangs up, the call ends. Can this be done? There might be a way for you to address your objective depending upon exactly what you're trying to do. The previous responses to your question _assume_ that each room in your case has a pbx extension (regardless of whether its a sip or analog phone). If their assumption is correct, then the responses are correct. However, if you want to use your existing analog phones and you group them together, several analog phones can share a single extension and those phones in the group can pick up and join the conversation whenever they want. Think in terms of using something like a Sipura sip adapter (or the equivalent from other vendors), and connecting all analog phones within your defined group to the rj11 analog jack of the adapter. For example, I have four analog pstn lines and multiple iax connections to various itsp's and clients. One of the analog pstn lines is a house line and connects directly to * via a TDM04b card. When an incoming call occurs on that line, it rings multiple sip phone/adapters. One of those happens to be a Sipura spa3000 that has most of the analog house phones attached. Anyone one of those phones can answer the call, others can join in, etc. The approach can work if you can define specific groups of interest such as kids vs adults, sales vs support, home vs business, etc. Combine that approach with carefull selection of analog phones (those with some form of line in use LED), and you end up with an approach that sort of looks like a poor-man's key system behind a pbx. Pay attention to the features within the sip adapter (eg, Sipura) and you're likely to find additional options that might address your needs. All depends upon exactly what it is that you're trying to engineer. ___ --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

Now i want to implement call forwariding facility on my server. I want to forward the call made by phone-1 to phone-2 , to another phone i.e. phone-3. Within office premises is it possible to forward calls? if yes, How can i implement this? what configurations files i have to change? You can do this on phones if it is supported and all of your call flow logic is going to be in extensions.conf or some file included. I have one othere query. i want to knw, can i use s extension for my office pbx? I mean i dont have any PSTN connection to my asterisk server. I m using asterisk just as a internal gateway. so how can i use s extension? If i m not wrong s extension is used when call comes from PSTN line. Am i right? or m i making a wrong assumption ? http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+s+extension Note that most of the type of calls that I deal with have a known number called, so S extension would never apply.

One system I found that works well in a home environment is using a two-line, multi-handset cordless phone system. Run 2 analog ports to the base station, and this handles most home needs. Two users can make or receive calls, join existing calls, etc rather easily. The dial plan is set so that either line makes outgoing calls over a VoIP service, line 2, or whatever, so that the main incoming line is always available to receive calls. The home office has a Polycom 601 with it's own lines and dial plan logic, plus the fact that the polycom user is much more likely to know how to answer, transfer, park, etc. Wife proofing a * system is non-trivial and takes careful planning. ___ --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] sharing a line w/multiple extensions
phones. When someone picks up (don't know how I can detect this), it could transfer both parties to a meetme room. When additional extensions pickup, they go to the meetme room. When everyone hangs up, the call ends. Can this be done? Probably, but it would take some very creative dialplan programming and an external application to transfer the parties into a meetme room. You will not get 'pickup' behavior on the SIP phones regardless, they will have to press a speed dial button which would attempt to join the meetme. In other words: you can get there, but it will _not_ behave like a key system, and people will expect it to, so they will be frustrated when it doesn't. We've been down this road many times before, and many Asterisk installations have been taken out because the installers thought they could achieve key system behavior (or retrain the users) but failed. If you want to try, feel free... I'm only telling you what has happened before :-) Thanks. That's very helpful because being new to Asterisk, I don't know the history of what people have attempted to use Asterisk for. It's unfortunate that there's no way to do it because it sounds like others are looking for this same functionality. I wonder what it would take to implement this in Asterisk natively. Does Digium take feature requests? Certainly, this would have appeal for residential systems. Just a couple of comments on the subject of key systems verses pbx's The traditional pbx (from years ago) implemented exactly what Kevin mentioned above. Just about every company that deployed a pbx back then also had several key systems attached to their pbx. The key systems were typically limited to executives and their assistants (secretaries back then) primarily due to the additional cost of the older key systems. The traditional pbx vendors (back then) would always use the same words that Kevin used, emphasizing the differences between key systems and pbx's. However, many of the pbx manufacturers finally realized they were loosing revenue due to those limitations, and began implementing key-system-type functions in their pbx's. They were not trying to address the key system market, but rather make their pbx products more valuable from a user's perspective. Those that are influencing or controlling the direction of asterisk haven't learned that lesson as yet, partially because of the lack of functionality in the sip phones themselves and partially because asterisk is being developed through the open source community (limited development resources and no published long term plan). Those individuals that have worked towards developing the sip rfc standards have recognized some of the key system vs pbx needs, and have added to the sip standards. However, it takes a while for the sip phone manufacturers (and voip pbx manufacturers) to implement those standards, and in some cases, the manufacturers purposefully leave out certain functions in their sip products to protect their investments in proprietary products. It certainly is not difficult to visualize how voip switching products (such as asterisk or any of the commercial products) could be oriented towards being a switch and address the needs of key systems, pbx's, and central office switching in the same basic product. All of the same functions are required in each case. Asterisk will get there, it will just take a little longer since there isn't any published long term plan to influence the short term development. (No offense intended to any asterisk individual or group; just the nature of most open source development.) I can also assure you that several large companies (most of those company names likely wouldn't be recognized by many of the readers here) are watching the asterisk development closely, and likely are in fear of various open source products negatively impacting their core business. They will adjust their product development (and plans) in an effort to remain one (or more) steps ahead from a marketing sales perspective. ___ --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

I'll decide whether I buy a card or get a VoIP service... yes then your friend can use your vonage or telco line to dialout, and you can make dialplan which actually let your friend chose how to dial and from which line.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] background music...
Someone else may have a different answer, but I think that's an issue with the cell network. I've tried it with my CDMA cellular phone and have seen the same thing. The issue is not with the music.

I have a radio station streaming on my hold music and have called in to listen to the radio station (I have an extension setup that just puts me on hold).. and it will go from music (though sounding under water) to being just static.. and then back again depending on what all is going on.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Small explanation of txgain rxgain statement please
I was just looking at: http://www.asteriskdocs.org/modules/tinycontent/content/docbook/current/docs-html/x1695. html regarding echo canceller tuning, and I noticed the statement Most people find that they need an rxgain level around 8.0 to have good echo cancellation. The txgain setting varies from installation to installation. Which feels a bit wrong :) Could someone explain why increasing the gain on the inbound zap leg (rxgain) would improve echo cancellation? Of have I misunderstood the roles and meanings of rxgain and txgain? If you read that quote verbatim, it's wrong. The rxgain and txgain settings for analog pstn interfaces should be about 2 db less then the pstn cable loss to the central office. However, due to limitations within the asterisk echo canceller, one typically cannot use that objective as it will result in echo. A very valid starting point is to find out what your pstn cable loss really is to the central office. That value can be obtained through using a telephony transmission test set (rather expensive at about $600 new), talking with someone knowledgable in the telco (sometimes very hard to find that person), complaining to the telco about poor transmission levels and watching over the shoulder of the technican when he measures it from your site (assuming the telco dispatches a technician). The transmission loss value will likely be something between -3db and -12db, depending upon the distance between your site and the central office via the cable path. If that value is measured at -8db (as an example only), then a good starting value for rxgain and txgain is roughly 6db. (You are trying to set the gain values to compensate for the cable loss. Trying to set the gain so the end result is no loss (as in 0db) will definitely cause echo. An informal telco approach is to set it for about a 2db total loss. Therefore, a measured loss of -8db with a txgain/rxgain value of +6db results in a total loss of -2db.) If you start with that known value, then the only reasonable way to adjust your analog interface gain is began decreasing those settings by about 2db per attempt, place a call, and listen for the echo. (Preferably place the test call from your system to another analog pstn phone, not a long distance phone or cell phone as they can inject other potential echo issues that will confuse your tests.) Be sure to stop asterisk and restart it after each gain setting change; a simple reload will not recognize the changes. As an example, my asterisk system is about 7db from the central office. My rxgain=5 and txgain=0 result in very acceptable use with only a slight amount of echo during the first few seconds of a call. The audio is still much lower then desired, but very usable. All of the above assumes that your analog pstn interface card is properly set to match the impedence of the line. In the US, that is 600 ohms which happens to be the default installation value for digium analog cards. Anyone that would suggest a specific gain setting for everyone does not understand analog telephony whatsoever. I'd have to guess the person that wrote the referenced material didn't actually intend to imply 8db would work for everyone. A poor man's way to estimate the pstn cable loss is to use an el-cheapo multimeter, set the multimeter to measure current (milliamps), and place the probes directly across tip ring of the phone line with nothing else attached to the pstn line. You should read something between 20 and 60 milliamps. Send that measured value to me (off list) and I'll convert it to a reasonable rxgain setting. (If you understand ohms law and know that 24 gauge pstn cable is 52 ohms per 1,000 feet, central office voltage is 48 volts, and 24 gauge pstn cable has a loss of 2.31 db per 1,000 feet, then you can compute it yourself. Example: if you measure 26 milliamps, the ohms law calculation indicates you are 1,846 ohms from the CO. 1,846 ohms minus 600 ohms (for CO equipment) divided by 52 ohms indicates you are about 23,960 feet from the CO. 23.9 kilofeet divided by 2.31 db loss per 1,000 feet indicates you can expect a loss of about -10.3db. Then start with an rxgain setting of 8db.) If you are going to sell asterisk pbx's to your customers, then invest in a transmission test set and get the local telephone number for the milliwatt generator. It will be substantially more accurate then the poor man's method shown above. ___ --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] Fax detected, but no fax extension
It's a Zaptel thing. That's why you put faxdetect=yes in Zapata.conf. When Zaptel hears the fax tone, it shuts off echo cancellation and tells Asterisk to shunt the call to the fax extension. If you are using PRI, for reliable fax detection, you should have something like this in your default inbound context exten = s,1,Answer() exten = s,2,Wait(3) The reason you Wait() for 3 seconds is because of the cadence of the fax tone. Because Zaptel hardware answers the call and start processing it almost instantaneously, it starts processing the call as a voice call. Because the cadence of the tone is something like 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off, a whole bunch of stuff can happen in your Asterisk box before it hears the fax tone. If you jump to another context without having a fax extension in that context, and then Zaptel hears the fax tone, a lot of your fax calls will fail or an internal extension will ring, then as the user picks up, Asterisk goes to the fax extension, and the call to the user is terminated. This is also a double edged sword: We had a realtor who would call us up while faxing stuff on his fax machine with the speaker on (who DOES that, anyway?) Asterisk would pick up, do it's wait() and would hear the realtor's fax machine in the background, and jump to the fax extension. Fun to troubleshoot. If you are using analog hardware, I'm not sure the wait() is necessary because of the relative slowness of the call setup (i.e. it waits anyway for the Caller ID) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2005 3:41 AM To: Colin Anderson Cc: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Fax detected, but no fax extension OK, Is Asterisk able to switch incoming calls according to fax or voice to the right extension .

Re: [Asterisk-Users] sharing a line w/multiple extensions
Rich Adamson wrote: The traditional pbx vendors (back then) would always use the same words that Kevin used, emphasizing the differences between key systems and pbx's. However, many of the pbx manufacturers finally realized they were loosing revenue due to those limitations, and began implementing key-system-type functions in their pbx's. They were not trying to address the key system market, but rather make their pbx products more valuable from a user's perspective. Those that are influencing or controlling the direction of asterisk haven't learned that lesson as yet, partially because of the lack of functionality in the sip phones themselves and partially because asterisk is being developed through the open source community (limited development resources and no published long term plan). Those individuals that have worked towards developing the sip rfc standards have recognized some of the key system vs pbx needs, and have added to the sip standards. However, it takes a while for the sip phone manufacturers (and voip pbx manufacturers) to implement those standards, and in some cases, the manufacturers purposefully leave out certain functions in their sip products to protect their investments in proprietary products. It certainly is not difficult to visualize how voip switching products (such as asterisk or any of the commercial products) could be oriented towards being a switch and address the needs of key systems, pbx's, and central office switching in the same basic product. All of the same functions are required in each case. Asterisk will get there, it will just take a little longer since there isn't any published long term plan to influence the short term development. (No offense intended to any asterisk individual or group; just the nature of most open source development.) I can also assure you that several large companies (most of those company names likely wouldn't be recognized by many of the readers here) are watching the asterisk development closely, and likely are in fear of various open source products negatively impacting their core business. They will adjust their product development (and plans) in an effort to remain one (or more) steps ahead from a marketing sales perspective. Thanks for the history on PBX and key systems.

[Asterisk-Users] E1 Echo (was: Small explanation of txgain rxgain statement please)

In theory of course an E1 should work with rxgain=0.0, txgain=0.0 (assuming there is no digital messing going on in the network) and the echo canceller should have a relatively easy job of cancelling echo given that the large majority of the UK phone network is digital, and only the last leg at the far end is usually analogue. I am running Asterisk 1.0.9, and have backported the KB1 canceller into Zaptel 1.0.9.2, which does not seem to have caused any problems. Nor has it really caused any improvement though :) I am beginning to wonder whether what echo IS heard is being caused by packetisation delays in the network - The default tap length is 128, or I believe 16ms. If something in the PSTN causes a delay more than that length (no idea what might cause that) then echo would still be heard. Does anyone have any experience in this area? Any ideas? How heavy handed would it be to increase the tap length to 256? I have not seen anyone suggest that this might be a good idea.

From paid tech support, I consider it a responsibility. Agreed 100%. Does ztdummy fall to the kernel mode by default, or does it have to be configured to do so? On 2.6 kernels, ztdummy can use either the kernel ticks (jiffies) for timing, or the hardware realtime clock (RTC). By default it uses the RTC when built against kernel headers for 2.6.13 or newer; it can be manually configured to use the RTC for older kernels. The RTC is a more reliable timing source than kernel ticks, because they can be delayed small amounts due to the kernel performing process switches and the like, although usually there is not a great deal of difference. Also, on recent 2.6 kernels the jiffy frequency is adjustable at configuration time and no longer defaults to 1000 per second; if RTC mode is not used, then the kernel frequency _must_ be 1000Hz for ztdummy to work correctly. On 2.4 kernels the situation is very different: ztdummy on 2.4 kernels uses a USB device for timing generation. ___ --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] sharing a line w/multiple extensions
The traditional pbx vendors (back then) would always use the same words that Kevin used, emphasizing the differences between key systems and pbx's. However, many of the pbx manufacturers finally realized they were loosing revenue due to those limitations, and began implementing key-system-type functions in their pbx's. They were not trying to address the key system market, but rather make their pbx products more valuable from a user's perspective. Those that are influencing or controlling the direction of asterisk haven't learned that lesson as yet, partially because of the lack of functionality in the sip phones themselves and partially because asterisk is being developed through the open source community (limited development resources and no published long term plan). Those individuals that have worked towards developing the sip rfc standards have recognized some of the key system vs pbx needs, and have added to the sip standards. However, it takes a while for the sip phone manufacturers (and voip pbx manufacturers) to implement those standards, and in some cases, the manufacturers purposefully leave out certain functions in their sip products to protect their investments in proprietary products. It certainly is not difficult to visualize how voip switching products (such as asterisk or any of the commercial products) could be oriented towards being a switch and address the needs of key systems, pbx's, and central office switching in the same basic product. All of the same functions are required in each case. Asterisk will get there, it will just take a little longer since there isn't any published long term plan to influence the short term development. (No offense intended to any asterisk individual or group; just the nature of most open source development.) I can also assure you that several large companies (most of those company names likely wouldn't be recognized by many of the readers here) are watching the asterisk development closely, and likely are in fear of various open source products negatively impacting their core business. They will adjust their product development (and plans) in an effort to remain one (or more) steps ahead from a marketing sales perspective. Thanks for the history on PBX and key systems. History has a way of repeating itself. I think Asterisk will have to implement features of a key system in the near future. Just judging from the reaction from friends and family who are fascinated by my Asterisk installation, there is huge demand for this kind of system. Digium is just losing out on sales. Doubt they are losing much in sales. Sales of the digium cards are from geeks (like many of us on this list) and small companies selling asterisk into business accounts. Most 'friends family' wouldn't consider investing $1k for all the pieces necessary to have a reasonable system (even if they could use a retired PC) unless they're geeks as well. Is there an open source key system? What other alternative systems are there? How about OpenPBX? Are they integrating any key system support? Not that I'm aware of, but I don't try to keep track of competing projects either. There's sort of a dichotomy thing going on where most development folks (whether its asterisk or some other I/T-type projects) are focused on programming some function/features that are system oriented (eg, odbc, sql support, echo cancellers, fax support, menues, jitterbuffers, architectural changes, scipts); and, another group without programming skills that would love to see additional basic pbx/key-system functions implemented that don't require someone to jump through hoops in the dialplan. But, that's the nature of open source projects. ___ --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] sharing a line w/multiple extensions
Fascinating discussion. The whole idea of acceptance of an asterisk based system by the rest of the family is probably worthy of its own thread. I'm in alpha test (I switch on asterisk after the wife leaves for work, switch it back before she gets home ;-) ) of my home asterisk system, so I've been thinking/worrying about a lot of similar issues. I'm particularly worried about acceptance of this shared line (or lack thereof) aspect of the system. My wife will get the idea of extensions, transfers, parking, etc. because she uses a PBX at work, though I worry that the habits of how the phone is supposed to work at home may die hard with her. And the kids are a whole 'nuther story. I thought that having some common area phones share a single extension (wired into a single ATA FXS port) might ease the transition, but I'm also afraid it might be confusing (you can just pick up from these extensions, but you have to transfer or park to/from these extensions. Huh?). The huge selling point, which I'm hoping will overcome any initial resistance, is the idea that one person will no longer tie up the whole phone system for the house when they make/take a call. And deploying one of my free DIDs to give my 16-year-old his own phone number that rings only in his bedroom is the real ace up my sleeve! Sure, Asterisk will come with a lot of other neat features, but frankly most of them have more geek appeal (though I have high hopes for my favorite feature -- announced caller id over the stereo/tivo while we're making dinner -- to revolutionize the way we deal with (or at least who answers ;-) ) phone calls at that hour), and in some cases I think may face similar that's not the way it's supposed to work objections. For example, while they will acknowledge that voicemail is cool, I suspect they'll miss the simplicity of walking into the kitchen, seeing if the answering machine is blinking, and just pressing the button. I'm excited AND anxious about starting a real beta test with them! Maybe that's why I'm already 3 weeks behind my original schedule. ;-) ___ --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

G! Asterisk sends a BYE to the phone when it gets shut down. What a pain.

[Asterisk-Users] Voipsupply - my experience
Hi, I would just like to let everyone know about the support I have rec'd from voipsupply. I travelled from .au to the US to do some urgent server upgrades for $EMPLOYER. During this trip I has impressed upon me (with absolutely zero notice) the requirement for a IP Phone link to the .au office. With only a couple of day left in the US I was stumped. I called Voipsupply and left a message (it was 9:30PM CST - Houston) at 10:30PM Mark emailed me and sent me his Cell phone number. The upshot is: I placed an order for some Digium kit at Midnight, on the 14th and I have just rec'd the goods in Houston now. Mark: Fantastic service! I appreciate the help.

Does anyone have any experience in this area? Any ideas? How heavy handed would it be to increase the tap length to 256? I have not seen anyone suggest that this might be a good idea. On my PRI, 256 made things bad, super echo-y.

No one recalls this ever happening on incoming calls (though this client primarily makes outgoing calls, I believe). Apparently this has been happening for a while and they just now mentioned it to me. Would nat=yes in the general section of sip.conf make a difference in this case? Is there anything else I could look at that might alleviate this problem? Without being a smartass, the only way to find out is to see if it works. More obviously, if the Asterisk server has a NAT between it and the ITSP, then use nat=yes, if it doesn't, then use nat=no. Of course, if you set nat=no, then don't bother setting localnet or externip, either. Also keep in mind that some routers' DMZ settings still leave your box behind NAT. They just forward all of the ports to the specified address. (Linksys routers do this.) I didn't detect any smartassity in your response... I'm going to try nat=yes in the general section and then I'm going to trim down the RTP port range just for fun and see what happens.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] sharing a line w/multiple extensions
Rich, Kevin I just stubbled into one of these projects. I am making it work for the client but constantly running into walls. Client is very cool about the work and loved the history of the Key System from Rich. Current issues and solutions: Busy boxes = SNOM 360s with Sidecars Static Parking(orbit or 60) = Seperate MeetMe rooms (MOH if single user) Paging = Extra SIP line on the phones set to auto answer, ugly chanisavial check No Voicemail = a, bounce to Oper Queues = Hard Code procedural so that I can hint the phones right. answer at any phone = button hack for the blinking button. Maybe I should submit this job to Digium for the contest :-) Andrew On 12/15/05, Rich Adamson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The traditional pbx vendors (back then) would always use the same words that Kevin used, emphasizing the differences between key systems and pbx's. However, many of the pbx manufacturers finally realized they were loosing revenue due to those limitations, and began implementing key-system-type functions in their pbx's. They were not trying to address the key system market, but rather make their pbx products more valuable from a user's perspective. Those that are influencing or controlling the direction of asterisk haven't learned that lesson as yet, partially because of the lack of functionality in the sip phones themselves and partially because asterisk is being developed through the open source community (limited development resources and no published long term plan). Those individuals that have worked towards developing the sip rfc standards have recognized some of the key system vs pbx needs, and have added to the sip standards. However, it takes a while for the sip phone manufacturers (and voip pbx manufacturers) to implement those standards, and in some cases, the manufacturers purposefully leave out certain functions in their sip products to protect their investments in proprietary products. It certainly is not difficult to visualize how voip switching products (such as asterisk or any of the commercial products) could be oriented towards being a switch and address the needs of key systems, pbx's, and central office switching in the same basic product. All of the same functions are required in each case. Asterisk will get there, it will just take a little longer since there isn't any published long term plan to influence the short term development. (No offense intended to any asterisk individual or group; just the nature of most open source development.) I can also assure you that several large companies (most of those company names likely wouldn't be recognized by many of the readers here) are watching the asterisk development closely, and likely are in fear of various open source products negatively impacting their core business. They will adjust their product development (and plans) in an effort to remain one (or more) steps ahead from a marketing sales perspective. Thanks for the history on PBX and key systems. History has a way of repeating itself. I think Asterisk will have to implement features of a key system in the near future. Just judging from the reaction from friends and family who are fascinated by my Asterisk installation, there is huge demand for this kind of system. Digium is just losing out on sales. Doubt they are losing much in sales. Sales of the digium cards are from geeks (like many of us on this list) and small companies selling asterisk into business accounts. Most 'friends family' wouldn't consider investing $1k for all the pieces necessary to have a reasonable system (even if they could use a retired PC) unless they're geeks as well. Is there an open source key system? What other alternative systems are there? How about OpenPBX? Are they integrating any key system support? Not that I'm aware of, but I don't try to keep track of competing projects either. There's sort of a dichotomy thing going on where most development folks (whether its asterisk or some other I/T-type projects) are focused on programming some function/features that are system oriented (eg, odbc, sql support, echo cancellers, fax support, menues, jitterbuffers, architectural changes, scipts); and, another group without programming skills that would love to see additional basic pbx/key-system functions implemented that don't require someone to jump through hoops in the dialplan. But, that's the nature of open source projects. ___ --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 -- --- Andrew Latham - AKA: LATHAMA (lay-th-ham-eh) [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] If any of the above are down we have bigger
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Voipsupply - my experience

They have great methods of communication and they free up my time to better serve my clients. I'm happy to hear that everyone's had good service from them, but I've felt burned by them twice. The first time, I ordered over $4000 worth of hardware from them and as soon as my order is processed, I get spammed with all their monthly specials (all in caps, of course). I sent them an e-mail asking them why they treat their customers this way, but I never received a response. Also, this order was split up and shipped at different times, but their order status pages didn't explain this (and I had no idea where my parts were for a week). I gave them another chance recently--just last week, in fact. I ordered two IAXy adaptors, so one of my co-workers could take one back to Europe. I ordered on the 6th, paid for 2 day shipping, and got an e-mail that afternoon telling me my order status was shipped. Well, three days passed, and my co-worker flew back home without an IAXy. This week I asked voip-supply for a FedEx tracking number, and the tracking information shows the package actually shipped on the 13th, not the 6th like they told me! Their order status calculations are 7 days too optimistic. I sent them an e-mail about the status discrepancy, but I haven't received a response. I would consider their communication methods inadequate, unless you don't care when your order will arrive. -- Shaw Terwilliger [EMAIL PROTECTED] SourceGear LLC signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ --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

What about Asterisk? this is a pass-thru example, or maybe I've to pay a g729 license? Yes, you need to buy the codec for $10(us) per channel if you want to be able to translate g729. I purchased the unsupported OSX version of the codec and it seems to work great and solved or improved many quality issues I was seeing.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Disposition Failed still happening
I have found that the only way asteriskA shows ANSWERED is if the call gets sent to an IVR on asteriskB and the caller hangs up before being connected to a SIP device. - PedroOn 12/15/05, Aaron Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yeah, that's basically what's happening here too... our scenario:incoming call from PSTN --ZAP-- asteriskA --SIP-- asteriskB --SIP-- PhoneasteriskA always shows answered for us, asteriskB sometimes shows answered, but it's usually failed...
