Re: [asterisk-users] 12 port FXx PCI card

2006-10-15 Thread Peter Lindquist

Yusuf,

I am using this card and it works very well for me. To use it you need 
to download a driver addition and recompile Zaptel. Not a big problem 
really. In all other aspects it works like the Digium card.

Hi,

The A1200P is a 12 port card, that used the same modules as a TDM400P.
I have been looking at this card, and I want to know if anybody has used
this card and what their experiences were?


thanks,

Re: [asterisk-users] two SIP phones as one line

2006-10-15 Thread Henry.L.Coleman
The quirk of your old PBX is in fact exactly what happens when you put any
two analog phones on the same line. The easiest way to duplicate this is
to connect another analog phone to your ATA. Some analog phones can
indicate when the other is on the line and can put a call on hold locally.

 Hi,

 I am looking to replace a quirk of our old PBX system functionality with
 asterisk but after searching, archives, wiki, etc.. I cannot figure out
 how.

 Here is what I would like to do:

 PhoneA is a SIP hard phone, phoneB is an analogue phone connected to a
 SIP ATA. When an incoming call comes in, I would like to ring both
 phones, but if phoneA is answered first, I would like phoneB to be
 answered as well and left in a off hook state so that when someone
 picks up the receiver of phoneB, they can hear and participate in the
 conversation between the calling party and phoneA.

 I believe I would have to put both phones in a MeetMe conference, but
 how to I auto-answer phoneB when phoneA has answered the call?

 I suspect that this may not be possible with asterisk, but would like
 confirmation of that.

 Thanks in advance.

Are your sip phones capable of auto-answer?I can imagine you can terminate the incoming call into a meet-me conference (no pass code) and then trigger a script that creates a call file for each of the other participating phones. The auto-answer part seems like the sticky part.

Re: [asterisk-users] two SIP phones as one line

2006-10-15 Thread Noah Miller

Hi Mark -


  PhoneA is a SIP hard phone, phoneB is an analogue phone connected to a
  SIP ATA. When an incoming call comes in, I would like to ring both
  phones, but if phoneA is answered first, I would like phoneB to be
  answered as well and left in a off hook state so that when someone
  picks up the receiver of phoneB, they can hear and participate in the
  conversation between the calling party and phoneA.
 
  I believe I would have to put both phones in a MeetMe conference, but
  how to I auto-answer phoneB when phoneA has answered the call?


Two Questions:

1. On the SIP phone, will this special conference function be needed
on both incoming and outgoing calls, or just one of those?

2. Does the analog phone have to do anything else?  Should it work
like a normal phone when it's not doing this special conference
function?

You should be able to do this, like you said, by dumping both phones
into a meetme conference.  There would be two tricky things here A)
getting the analog phone to automatically go to a meetme conference
whenever it is off-hook, B) getting outgoing calls from the sip phone
into a meetme conference (incoming calls would be easy).

I think A) is probably not possible, given that you are using an
external ATA device.  That device would somehow have to send the
off-hook status back to asterisk via sip messages (I think there's
actually a bounty for this).  This should be possible if you were
using an internal zaptel card rather than an external gateway.  If the
answer to question 2) above is yes, you would have other problems,
too.

A good compromise to the problems of both 2) and A) would be to put
the analog phone into a special context where you'd have a one digit
press for each function (e.g. press 1 for normal phone, press 2 for
conference).

Still, unless these users are really ornery, I'd probably just make
them learn to transfer and dial into a conference.

 I am currently doing my thesis on an implementation of Video into Asterisk

 the way forward, but sometimes

 It helps to use old equipment that one already owns. so I am just looking

 Provide a quick and simple method of passing video through asterisk
 between
 2 softphones.

 I currently have the following Channels installed on the various systems.

 Fedora Core 2 - Asterisk-0h323 on Asterisk 1.1.00

 Fedora Core 5 - Asterisk h323 on Asterisk 1.2.12

 Fedora Core 5 - Asterisk h323 on Asterisk 1.2.12

 Fedora Core 5 - Asterisk h323 on Asterisk 1.4.Beta 2



 Just looking for any pointers and decent directions.


Hi,

what softphone will you be using?  Have you tried Ekiga!
http://www.gnomemeeting.org/

I supports video also.

thanks,

You might want to re-evaluate your goal.

Is your actual goal -- from an engineering standpoint -- to deliver the
combined audio of both sides of the call to a broadcast-standard 600
ohm termination?

Cause there may be better ways to do that than an analog phone and a

[asterisk-users] Ringtones won't work

2006-10-15 Thread Mike Haney (Gmail)
I was hoping that someone may be able to shed some light on some issues I'm having on trying to get an Asterisk test server up and running. At the moment I have the basics, two Polycom hard phones (301  601 with expansion unit (which oddly will not power up)) that can call each other, log into voicemail (one touch) and have custom directories  buddy lists. Unfortunately some of the seemingly simple things do not want to work for me:
- Ringtones. Apparently the phones do not have any of the defaults on them as the Ring Type menu on each phone lists ms, Inc. beside each option, and will not play anything. I've placed several .wav files (from 
http://www.voipphreak.ca/index.php?serendipity%5Baction%5D=searchserendipity%5BsearchTerm%5D=ringtones
) and set up the sip.cfg as per what I've been able to find, a copy is below. The phones do download the .wav files on each boot, and list the filenames in the web browser config pages, but still show ms, Inc. under the Ring Type menu?
- Busy indicators/presence. I have configured a buddy watcher on the 601 which will show the appropriate Online/On Phone status of the 301 through the Buddies menu, but it does not inicate the status from the directory key/button on the main screen. Should the indicator beside the contact name not show some sort of status update when the associated buddy is on the phone?
- Voicemail. This one is just odd, and I have only found one search result that has the same issue but unfortunately no resolution. When either phone connects to voicemail they are presented with the voice prompts but any key I press is not recognized (ie. Press 1 for new messages and the voice prompts just continue like nothing was pressed). This happens through onetouch voicemail and by dialing the VM extension directly (I can't even log in if dialing the VM extension directly).
If anyone can shed some light on these topics it would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks,MikeMY CURRENT SIP.CFG:---

Re: [asterisk-users] How do you like TrixBox?

2006-10-15 Thread Mohamed A. Gombolaty


Dear All,
I am have experimented asterisk long before any gui was available and
also currently working with trixbox, ofcourse working with asterisk directly
makes you more aware but when you start deploying the system you will face
management issues for asterisk, as anyone who deals with asterisk must
be experienced enough with it and that will make the people who support
the users a few, while with trixbox those few people can be left as escalation
points and through GUI you can make other less aware of asterisk administer
the day to day tasks.
Trixbox in my belief is making more people everyday depend on asterisk
ofcourse knowing how to deal directly with asterisk will be a plus but
yet this could come by time with trix box and everyday experience being
gained will make them someday reach that level.
Trixbox is a great start point to implement asterisk but learning
asterisk configs must also be in schedule to maintain a persistent environment.
Thx

a Trixbox setup, then peruse the conf files, to get familiar with

Spoke as one who was not very pleased with their own foray into Trixbox

Hi,

I've finally given up on trying to fax over my Digium TDM400 card.
I've found that fax over VoIP is quite more reliable (at least I can
receive the faxes).

My ITSP supports G729 and alaw/ulaw. As I won't be receiving faxes
everyday (just ocasionally), i pretend on using g729, unless a fax is
detected.

Is there any way to force asterisk to make a reinvite, and swap the
codec on the fly? Something like this would be great:

exten = fax,1,CodecChange(ulaw)
exten = fax,2,rxfax(blablabla)
I think the answer is no.  I am pretty sure this has been discussed 
multiple times and there is currently no way to change the codec once 
the call is established.

One of the simplest ways to accomplish this is to use an APC power strip 
with SNMP control. (Each of the power outlets on the power strip can be 
turned on / off remotely via an snmp command.


With this rough approach, stop the 'broken' asterisk server and start 
the backup server (via the power strip control), and wait for the system 
to come up.


If both asterisk systems are configured absolutely the same (eg, same 
*.conf entries, ip addresses), then when the system comes up, it will 
'register' with your sip or iax provider.


The sip phones will likely take a little bit longer to come up due to 
arp cache timout values within the sip phones. I've not tested any of 
the sip phones to see what the default timeout values have to be, but it 
will vary by manufacturer. (Microsoft PC stuff is generally around two 
minutes.) As soon as that cache value timeouts out, the sip phone will 
register (with the new server) and should be totally functional.


If at some future time you need a T1 or PRI on the system, someone 
manufacturers a T1 relay that will swap the T1 from one system to another.


The downside to this approach is that you have to wait on each device's 
arp cache timeout value (including routers, dsl moems, sip phones, ATA 
boxes, and any other device that is required in you fully working 
system. Very few of the voip devices allow you to set the arp timeout value.


In very general terms from a historical perspective, abruptly shutting 
down power to a linux/unix box is not is not an acceptable practice. 
However, the newer systems are far more tolerant, and for emergency 
purposes, its probably not that bad as the last step.


If you read over some of the archives, there are other ways that involve 
redundant servers, heartbeats, load sharing, reserving a valid extension 
number that would kick of scripts (etc) to swap boxes. Each have their 
advantages, disadvantages, and costs.

Todd- Asterisk wrote:

**SNIP**

Not sure about your provider but within our control panel we offer our 
customers the ability to set multiple devices. Devices are basically 
setup as a one to one relationship to your Asterisk servers and or IP 
phones, soft phones etc.


So you could setup 2 devices in our control panel or with your provider 
if they offer this.


Device 1: Asterisk Server (Primary)
Device 2: Asterisk Server (Secondary)

Each device creates a SIP or IAX username and password and ability for 
each machine to register to us.


When it comes to DIDs you can configure them in the control panel to all 
point to Device 1, in the event of a failure on device one you simply 
log in to our control panel and repoint your DIDs to Device 2. It takes 
approximately 5 minutes for our queue to run and all calls will now flow 
from your DIDs to Device 2. At any time you can push calls out through 
Device to and terminate to us regardless of when/if you repoint your DIDs.


In the case of getting your internal phones to re-route to the correct 
system.. Maybe you could leave server 2 off, pre-configured with the IP 
of server 1. If you have a failure, simply turn off server 1 at IP 
X.X.X.X if it's not already dead and have someone hit the power switch 
to Server 2 which will now be at the same X.X.X.X IP. No IP phone 
re-configuration required.


I am sure there is a more elegant solution using a router or something 
but, this is just one approach.


So, there are a few ways to skin that cat, just up to you how you want 
to go about it.


Hope this helps..

Yes, we see about the same here comparing the old BT102, Cisco 79x), and 
the spa942. Given most of the demo's thus far are with small banks, 
price weights very heavily in their mind.


We include the SPA-942 in our side by side demos for prospective

The sales pitch tries to address the sip licensing costs on the Cisco

move quickly to the 942's.

hoping for transaction-mirrored PgSQL databases on the two machines)
for a project I'm considering.

Re: [asterisk-users] Increase VoiceMail Messages Recording Gain - AudioCalls are Ok

2006-10-15 Thread kjcsb



The 
  problem is:Right now, and i'm referring only to calls directly handled by 
  VoiceMail application, the users get their audio files in email but the audio 
  is very very low. I've thought about changing RX gain on PRI interface 
  between legacy pbx and asterisk, but until now no complaining with audio 
  calls.


There's a patch for this: http://bugs.digium.com/file_download.php?file_id=10824type=bug

yes, using a Telos One digital hybrid. Only catch is that the On-Air
techs like to be able to 'stack' calls and place callers on hold using a
multi-line phone (the former Meridian replaced by the new SIP phone) and
then choose which ones to put on air.

Of course, a proper solution would be to get one of these:

but I suspect that I can avoid it with the right Asterisk config.

 Cause there may be better ways to do that than an analog phone and a
 hybrid...

I'm open to other ideas...

Re: [asterisk-users] How do you like TrixBox?

2006-10-15 Thread Chris Ramsey
I agree with Mohamed. TrixBox is an excellent way to start, but in the long run, if you attempt to use Asterisk in a business setting, you will probably want to be able to hardcode the conf files yourself. I have only recently changed over to TrixBox from a standard installation on a debian system. Honestly, I really don't use FreePBX much at all. I use it to create new extentions for VMB's since I need to create a number of them every day for users on my website, but overall I code my own dialplan. I don't really understand FreePBX well enough, nor do I really want to put in the effort of learning it since I can already hand-code. TrixBox just has a couple of nifty features that I enjoy to make daily life a tad easier.

Dear All,
I am have experimented asterisk long before any gui was available and
also currently working with trixbox, ofcourse working with asterisk directly
makes you more aware but when you start deploying the system you will face
management issues for asterisk, as anyone who deals with asterisk must
be experienced enough with it and that will make the people who support
the users a few, while with trixbox those few people can be left as escalation
points and through GUI you can make other less aware of asterisk administer
the day to day tasks.
Trixbox in my belief is making more people everyday depend on asterisk
ofcourse knowing how to deal directly with asterisk will be a plus but
yet this could come by time with trix box and everyday experience being
gained will make them someday reach that level.
Trixbox is a great start point to implement asterisk but learning
asterisk configs must also be in schedule to maintain a persistent environment.
Thx

But, can't it be one way of learning? Can't one setup

(almost) all things Asterisk?
Spoke as one who was not very pleased with their own foray into Trixbox
and is still creeping up to speed on Asterisk.

Seems to *me* that what you need to do is able to dynamically pick the
call they want to deal with, and hand it to a meetme where the other
side's audio gets merged and fed to a 600ohm bridge, which goes
directly into your board.

IE: replace the hybrid.

You might pop over to the Rivendell mailing list; some of those people
might have something informative to say as well...

I don't know if Call Commander is Asterisk compatible (yet) or not.

[asterisk-users] sip agent stuck in queue even after restarts

2006-10-15 Thread Jordan Novak
This is the first time I have used a sip device on a queue. Iogged in under the 
extension and now I can't logout. No kidding. I have restarted asterisk with 
persistant agents=off and also done a show agents. It shows no agents logged on 
and I am still receiving calls. To complicate things I am using Flash operator 
panel to see logged in agents and it has, at best, been sporadic. I have had no 
problems for the last six months and now I am in a hole. I beleive that the 
agent is stuck in the astdb somehow but every attempt I have made to remove it 
fails. Can any one see what I might be missing?

[asterisk-users] VoicePulse Connect 4 Channel Limit?

2006-10-15 Thread Nate Kapi
Does anyone know what happens if you try to have 5 concurrent outgoing channels with VoicePulse Connect? Does it give you an error message or a reorder or something? I'm worried about using them as my primary carrier if this is the case.
I noticed that they supposedly only allow 4 channels for free and then you have to pay $20 a month extra per channel. I'm guessing this is for inbound and outbound channels. If you wanted to be able to have 8 concurrent channels then this could get costly. Too costly in my opinion. I meanthat seems like a LOT to me, when you can go with other providers who don't limit you to 4 channels, like Voxee, NuFone or SixTel, for around the same price. I can understand the channel restrictions for inbound calls, but not for outbound calls.
VoicePulse, I know you read these lists! You should be able to provide us VoicePulse Connect users with more than 4 concurrent channels for free!

could be.. anyone had the same problem? Thanks for your time,
