Re: [asterisk-users] Idiot questions
So: The FXO car is for the Pots lines (I.E. bellsouth line) so if you need a analog phone cennected to asterisk you need a FXS card, so if you gonna use a SIP Soft Phone (or a regular SIP Phone) you only need a network connectivity between Asterisk and SIP Phone.

[asterisk-users] Phone status
Hi I'm working on a project, where I need the status of every telephone on the system. (Idle,ringing,busy) If a phone is busy, I also need to know the callerid of the other end. I have made a deamon, which query Asterisk every second for active calls, this works by issuing a Status to the manager-interface, and processing the return data and then put the result into a MySQLtable. The clients will query the MySQL table every second for the state of their phone, if there are no records with their numbers in it, they are considered idle. This works fine for calls from one SIP-phone to the other, this is for instance what it look like when extension 310 is connected to extension 311: Event: StatusPrivilege: CallChannel: SIP/310-08697fb8CallerID: 310CallerIDName: unknownAccount: State: UpLink: SIP/311-0868fd98Uniqueid: 1156442804.74 Event: StatusPrivilege: CallChannel: SIP/311-0868fd98CallerID: 311CallerIDName: SnomAccount: State: UpContext: macro-vmExtension: sPriority: 5Seconds: 13Link: SIP/310-08697fb8 Uniqueid: 1156442804.73 That is pretty easy to decode. However when an external call is made to a SIP-phone, the result is different, this is a call from another Asterisk via an IAX trunk: Event: StatusPrivilege: CallChannel: SIP/311-08695698CallerID: 35254390CallerIDName: unknownAccount: State: UpLink: IAX2/MR-1Uniqueid: 1156442974.76 Event: StatusPrivilege: CallChannel: IAX2/MR-1CallerID: 35436121CallerIDName: unknownAccount: State: UpContext: macro-vmExtension: sPriority: 5Seconds: 9Link: SIP/311-08695698 Uniqueid: 1156442974.75 The actual callerid of the caller is 3536121, 35254390 is the called number. How do I get the information, that 35436121 is connected to 311? Am I doing it in a stupid way, I'm aware that the Manager can give me realtime events, but I'm under the impression, that it is not very stable in a high traffic environment?

Re: [asterisk-users] Trunk with multiple IPs?
Benjamin Lawetz wrote: Still no answers huh? I've asked a couple of time how to do this, and by the lack of answers, I'm guessing there is no way. The workaround unfortunately is to create an entry for each IP address in the range (I hope you don't have to open up a whole C class) -Original Message- How do I enter a trunk with multiple IPs. xyz voip provider has 4 IPs and I want to allow incoming from any of them: 1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.2, 1.1.1.3 and 1.1.1.4 Do I put 4 separate host= lines, do I put a single host=line that is comma separated or do I have to set up 4 separate incoming trunks? Here's an iax.conf example of what I'm using: [teliax] context=teliax-incoming type=user auth=md5 secret=mysecret jitterbuffer=yes disallow=all allow=gsm deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 permit=207.174.202.0/255.255.255.0 The last two statements essentially restrict incoming calls from teliax to one of their class-c networks (regardless of how many servers or IP's they have). Note that on incoming calls the host= line is not used. If you're really asking how to do that for outgoing calls, you'll probably have to do it through three/four sections (type=peer) and deal with those sections in your dialplan. As a side note, there are a large percentage of * implementors that don't understand the search terms when an incoming call is being negotiated (eg, is host= used, is secret= used). Without that understanding, calls likely come into different sections then what the implementor actually expected. The deny permit statements are very useful to tighten down security for each incoming context. ___ --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 want to setup a PBX with 8 PSTN lines and 50 extensions. For argument's sake we'll assume all 50 extensions and 8 PSTN lines could be active at some point in the day. What kind of hardware requires to be inside the Asterisk system for this? This is a vague and unclear question. You will need enough CPU power to handle whatever system design you choose. There are internal cards (PCI) that could hook up the PSTN lines for you, or you could use external hardware (gateway) for that. I understand that the client end will be IP - so no hardware required for this. OK. I can purchase Sangoma in India - I am sure - maybe even Dialogic. I am totally confused about FXSs and FXOs. FXS's hook to phone hand sets (old school type). FXOs hook to PSTN lines. Your above description needs 8 FXO's and NO FXSs, presuming you use IP phones as extensions. Hope this helps.

[asterisk-users] Re: Attempt to setup paging and intercom
I do not know if this breaks anything or not the way you have it, but you should not have the underscore before the extension. The underscore means that the following is an expression, where X=any single digit and .=any number of digits. I do not know if the underscore also interprets the * as something, or maybe it just gets stuck trying to figure out an expression with no X nor .

[asterisk-users] Can the codec/format for name/greeting in voicemail be changed?
Hello people, before I go hunting on Wiki and Google, if maybe someone here knows the answer to this. This is in regards to the voicemail system. Is it possible to change the default/native format in which the greetings and outgoing messgaes for a user's mailbox are stored? It seems like (*) records everything in a GSM 6.10, mono 8kHz. If I was using the filesystem, then I could run a cronjob or something and convert all greetings etc. in the formats that I expect the endpoints to be using, but since I use Realtime, I don't have that luxury. How then can I get (*) to either record in a different format OR be able to convert these voicemail subscriber greetings in my database to some other format? Any ideas? suggestions?
