Marty,
   Where are you paying $1000 for a 1600 series Cisco?  I can get you 
20% off that price on any quantity (note: Sarcasam).  Its not the 1990's 
anymore.  You can get them on eBay ($50-150) for only slightly more then 
the Linksys.  The performance is rock solid.  Three-quarters of the 
world have used them for decades.  I know of units running 2 and 3 YEARS 
between reboots.  The power company reboots my equipment more then I 
do.  Ok it is true that Cisco does not support the models anymore, but 
you can't buy a services contract for a linksys router either.  It can 
sometimes be a little difficult to configure without any technical 
knowledge but that is what most of us get paid for.  It does impress the 
customer when you bring in the grey box labled Cisco.  As for 
performance just try to put 50 people behind a linksys/netgear/dlink.  
I've used 1605R supporting +100 users.  Not even a blink.  Finally, 
untill everyone is using 10Mps FTTH the broad band link is still the 
slowest part of the connection.  Not to shabby for antiquated technology.

I'm using a Cisco 1605R [running IOS 12.3(5a)] small office router 
with Fair-Weight queueing enabled.  Works great.  The nice thing 
about Fair-Weight queueing is that it dynamically adapts to lower the 
priority of higher demand traffic (e.g. large downloads).  If you 
want quality stick with quality stuff.

Reread the subject line please.  $1000 (US) isn't inexpensive by any

TCP is a connection oriented protocol ..as others mentioned, it

a connection-less protocol. It uses 'best effort'  
transmissions..if u want its delivery guaranteed you must  
encapsulate it.


So I take it that UDP is just a decision due to popular demand;  
timing (jitter) is a frequently cited factor to favour UDP.  Is  
there any technical difficulties in implementing SIP/TCP within  
Asterisk?


The reason I'm asking is that there are products that support both  
UDP and TCP.  And SIP/TCP, RTP/TCP have their own merits.


Granted, SIP is connectionless.  So is HTTP (well, for its original  
design anyway).  I notice that guaranteed delivery could be a good  
thing for SIP in many situations; there have also been advancements  
that make timing less an issue in RTP/TCP.


Is switching to SIP/TCP - RTP/TCP as simple as rewrap messages/ 
streams, or is it more involved?



It's a latency thing.
Say you send a packet every 20ms
Say you have a pair of endpoints with 100ms between them.
Say you drop a packet in the media channel.

TCP will re-request the missing packet, which has 2
bad effects:
	1) when it does turn up the packet will be 100ms late so you have  
to play silence

or make something up until it does.
	2) all the subsequent packets will be behind the re-tried packet and  
also 100ms
late. - Note that because TCP is a stream, you can't get at the  
subsequent packets
even if they turn up on time because you have to wait for the missing  
one.
Even more frustratingly you now have to dump these 4 perfectly good  
packets.

If you don't you will have introduced 100ms of lag in the audio stream.

- Of course none of this applies if you are on a LAN - with 1ms  
roundtrip time

as the retry can get to you soon enough to be useful.

With UDP you simply make something up for the missing packet and  
carry on when

you get the next one. - so you make up a single packet instead of 5.

With TCP the lost packet is multiplied by the ratio of the roundtrip  
time to the

packet interval.

Of course you can cover this up by increasing the buffering, but then
you are introducing yet more lag.

So, I simply don't think that TCP is suitable for telephony media  
streams over any
network where the roundtrip time is of the same order as the packet  
interval.


Now there are 'reliable datagram protocols' ( IL for example) but  
they aren't

much used on the internet.

Re: [asterisk-users] Best inexpensive home office router for VoIP (QoS with maybe PoE)

2007-01-07 Thread simon elliston ball
We've had a lot of success with Thompson Speedtouch 780 routers,  
which have built in adsl modems, and two ATAs. They don't seem to use  
QoS in the strictest sense, but do a very good job of prioritising  
the traffic from their own ATAs.  If you're happy to stick with  
analogue hansets instead of the SIP hardphones, they provide an  
excellent protection to upload bandwidth. They also seem to do some  
early dropping on incoming traffic to persuade the ISP's routers to  
slow down downloads once a call has been going for a bit, hence they  
can limit downloads as well.

Unfortunately, the problem with using iaxmodem remotely from the 
Asterisk server (jitter disrupting the audio) is not something that can 
be fixed from the software-side of things.  The 0.1.16 release included 
a type of fixed jitterbuffer that helps iaxmodem prevent itself from 
mistaking jitter as carrier loss when there still should be carrier or 
vice-versa (carrier when there should not be).  This fixed jitterbuffer 
was not working right until the 0.2.0 release, however.  So this 
jitterbuffer cannot recover the disrupted audio, although it does help 
mitigate the effects of it.


The only true fix must come by eliminating the causes of jitter - and 
that usually means placing iaxmodem on the Asterisk system.  The 
iaxmodem documentation does discuss this in detail.

The whole latency deal is much more of a concern in RTP (as well as

Still, not RTP over TCP, since it does not make sense for the voice-path.

The bandwidth of the audio stream dwarfs the bandwidth of signalling
traffic by orders of mangitude.   So in fact, I think this is exactly
wrong.  If bandwidth to or between the servers is a concern, that's
where you most want to not be in the audio path.
 
 It is worth remembering in this sort of setup, often the phones at one

If it's phone-on-NAT to phone-on-different-NAT, it typically will
not work.

That doesn't mean it can't work if bandwidth is important.

I think the complete solution, not yet in Asterisk as I understand it
is for Asterisk to be aware of both the internal and external addresses
of a phone, and to connect internal phones with their internal addresses,
but to connect internal phones to external endpoints through their
external addresses.   Ideally audio never flows through asterisk unless
it's doing an IVR dialogue or otherwise explicitly wants it to.
(In fact, ideally DTMF goes via SIP INFO or its successors so that
Asterisk can listen to the DTMF without being in on the audio.)

Flowing audio through your box costs not just bandwidth, it adds
latency, and very slight extra risks of packet loss.  Latency is the bane
of voip calls, it also worsens echo.

 Are these combinations forbidden?

Check features.conf - there are combinations reserved for transfer etc.
In my feature.conf, *0 was reserved for hangup (until I commented it
out).


Got it.  Thanks!  These combos are themselves features, only implemented 
as dialplans.  So maybe I should learn how to properly create new 
features.

My personal opinion for dialplans is that they should not use the *
and # keys for regular numbers - it just does not feel right. You are
of course free to differ :-)

[asterisk-users] Hanging up a 3-way conference when middle user hangs up

2007-01-07 Thread Lex Lethol

Apparently asterisk's default way to a 3-way conference lets the user
in the middle hangup and the other parties stay on the conversation.
This is great some times but it creates quite a bit of problems when
trunks dont have disconnect supervision or when trying to do
accounting and billing on the user.

Here is the 'normal' situation when a user tries the setup a 3 way
conference once the user is already on the phone with someone he
called.

1.  Press 'Flash' on the phone. Party B will now be placed on hold and
you will hear a dial tone.
2. Dial party C's number or a pre-configured speed dial followed by
'#', (you can engage in conversation).
3. Press 'Flash' to join both C and B to a single conference.
4. When you place the phone's handset on-hook, party B and party C
will remain in conversation.

After step 4, B and C remain on the conversation and I am looking for
a way to disable this without disabling 3 way calling.  Basically I am
looking for a way to force asterisk hang up both B and C once the
'middle' user hangs up so this will not leave channels stuck on trunks
without disconnect supervision.

Anyone know how to accomplish this?  Any comments appreciated.

Subject: [asterisk-users] [Announce] Web-MeetMe 3.0.0 released
We've been holding back on this release to coincide with
the Asterisk 1.4.0 release.

This is mostly a compatibility release, but there are a
few new features:
   *  No longer requires register_globals in PHP
   *  Separated code from configuration settings in
   ./lib/defines.php  (hopefully this will make
   future upgrades easier)
   *  Migrated all database interfaces to PEAR::DB
   which simplifies the code a bit and opens
   up the possibility of using other databases
   to host the scheduling DB (app_cbmysql is
   still only MySQL, but ODBC is planned/hoped for)
   *  The conference monitoring code now uses the
   concise output from meetme list, improving
   the parsing of participant details.
   *  Minor tweaks to improve the cbEnd.php script that
   enforces the conference duration, plays announcements
   and populates the conferencing CDRs.
   *  Conference CDR records now store participant duration
   in seconds instead of a formatted string, allowing
   for further analysis (the web interface still
   formats the duration for display purposes)
   *  App_cbmysql is updated to work with Asterisk 1.4.0
   *  App_cbmysql has it's own build environment now, no
   longer requiring a Makefile patch, etc...

The new release can be found at:
   http://sourceforge.net/projects/web-meetme/

We do have a volunteer developer who will be maintaining the
2.X.X chain for Asterisk 1.2.X compatibility, so bug fixes and
features that are not Asterisk version dependant will still be
made available for older installations.

Thanks,
The Web-MeetMe development team...



HI Dan.

now and I am a big fan and I have been very happy with it. I want to try the

out to upgrade to the v3.0.0 on my current Asterisk 1.2.X?

Re: [asterisk-users] Hanging up a 3-way conference when middle user hangs up

2007-01-07 Thread Lex Lethol

As far as I know when I setup a 3-way on something like a cisco will
disconnect everyone when the middle (person who setup the conference)
hangs up.

The problem I describe happens on ATAs and the like that uses flash to
put on hold while setting up the second call.

I am not sure about other phones other than cisco, polycom and a few others.

Thanks!

This is my code (that I copied form somewhere) for paging a group of
phones.  By dialling 99 it will page phones 2101, 2102 and 2105.

 

Just include the context ext-paging in your dial plan and modify the
extension numbers and all should be good.

 

This works on Linksys Phones but should also work on Snoms.

 

I hope this helps you.

[asterisk-users] AMAFlags alwaysDocumentation (or 3 in astcdr mysql) even after Set(CDR(amaflags)=bill) or SetAMAFlags(bill)

2007-01-07 Thread Scott Keagy
Is anyone out there using AMAFlags? I'd like to set this field as a
marker to distinguish different types of calls in CDRs, but can't seem
to make it respond to the documented commands Set(CDR(amaflags)=bill) or
SetAMAFlags(bill).

 

I've googled this issue, seen others have had this problem with IAX,
with different DB drivers for CDR records, etc. I'm using SIP and LOCAL
channels, asterisk-1.4beta2 release (I don't think upgrading to current
release will fix this problem, it's been around for years based on
trouble reports), both text .csv and mysql astcdr.cdr types.

 

Seems like a problem with basic AMAflags support in CDR. They always
show up as DOCUMENTATION in the .csv text file, and they always show up
as '3' in mysql. I hurt my brain trying to follow the layers of
indirection in the source code for where this is actually set. With
verbosity turned on in asterisk console I can see the SetAMAFlags
function being run.

 

Any tips, tricks, or pointers in the right direction?

 

Thanks,

Scott

[asterisk-users] Problems with park

2007-01-07 Thread Scott Walde

Hi.  I've spent the past four hours on this... if it's a FAQ, I apologize.

I am setting up a system with Asterisk 1.4, a TDM400 (3 FXO, 1 FXS) and 
3 Aastra 480i CT phones.  (1.4.1 firmware.)  I have the system mostly 
working, but am still having trouble with a couple features.  This email 
will deal with parking.


First, I think I should point out that transferring calls seems to work 
fine.  If I call into an FXO and have it ring on extension 102, I can 
answer the call and transfer it to extension 101.  (Both Aastra 480i CTs)


I have followed the (very brief) instructions on voip-info.org titled 
Asterisk Call parking.  Basically, I confirmed that features.conf was 
already set up properly, and made sure parkedcalls was included in my 
local context.  If I dial in via the FXO and answer the call on x102, 
then hit transfer 700, I hear the announcement 701.  When I hang up 
the phone, the LCD displays Transfer Failed and I get a bunch of 
orphaned channels.


I have made sure that all my Dial commands end with ,tT and have also 
added canreinvite=no to my sip.conf. 

Am I missing something simple? (probably)  Can someone please point me 
in the right direction or let me know what config files you need to see?


Thanks in advance.

Oh, I just noticed, transferring _doesn't_ work fine... If I call from 
x101 to x102, and try to transfer the call to an extension set up with 
the Music on hold application, I get the same Transfer Failed 
message.  Same thing if I call in via the FXO.  Now I'm even more lost, 
but perhaps the problem isn't my parking config.

Hello

 

Why not use the CDR(userfield) field instead. You can set that to any integer 
of your liking, and use that to identify the type of call.

It shouldn't be a problem if you're only doing IP takeover and have

[asterisk-users] Interrupt rates and voip traffic

2007-01-07 Thread Rajkumar S

Hi,

This is slightly off topic, but here I go any way...

VoIP traffic has lot's of smaller packets, and since each packet can
generate an interrupt, is there any way to determine the irq rates in
a machine, and more importantly to know if I am hitting any of the
limits in Linux or to determine how much interrupts per second can my
box handle ?

There seems to absolutely no information about his particular metric any where..

drdb - that's what I suspected. Off the top of my head, the fastest way 
is to reactivate using the new master's MAC. The proper solution is to 
only use drdb for data that should be shared like the conf and database. 
The license key portion should not be on a device that's being mirrored 
by drdb.

[asterisk-users] Re: Best inexpensive home office router for VoIP (QoS with maybe PoE)

2007-01-07 Thread Martin Joseph

On 2007-01-07 01:23:22 -0800, Mark Coccimiglio [EMAIL PROTECTED] said:


Marty,
Where are you paying $1000 for a 1600 series Cisco?  I can get you 
20% off that price on any quantity (note: Sarcasam).  Its not the 
1990's anymore.  You can get them on eBay ($50-150) for only slightly 
more then the Linksys.  The performance is rock solid.  Three-quarters 
of the world have used them for decades.  I know of units running 2 and 
3 YEARS between reboots.  The power company reboots my equipment more 
then I do.  Ok it is true that Cisco does not support the models 
anymore, but you can't buy a services contract for a linksys router 
either.  It can sometimes be a little difficult to configure without 
any technical knowledge but that is what most of us get paid for.  It 
does impress the customer when you bring in the grey box labled 
Cisco.  As for performance just try to put 50 people behind a 
linksys/netgear/dlink.  I've used 1605R supporting +100 users.  Not 
even a blink.  Finally, untill everyone is using 10Mps FTTH the broad 
band link is still the slowest part of the connection.  Not to shabby 
for antiquated technology.



Ok,  Thanks for the pricing update.  I am decidedly old school and 
sometimes get stuck with old information.  I did see people selling 
these for $800.  But I guess the web is full of antiquated pricing info 
also.


Thanks for the idea.
Marty

Are you doing a blind transfer or attended transfer? I'm assuming you're 
using the phone's transfer button. You may need to press transfer a 
second time to complete the transfer.

Am Donnerstag, den 04.01.2007, 17:47 -0500 schrieb Noah Miller:
  Let's say you use the Asterisk DB() stuff for your caller ids, storing
  them in a branch called book like
  book/16175551234 John Doe
  book/12125559876 Jane Miller
 
  Then you could go with a logic like
 
  exten = s,1,Set(CALLERID(name)=${DB(book/${CALLERID(num)})})
  exten = s,2,GotoIf($[${CALLERID(name)} = ]?3:100)
  exten = s,3,---your business customers go here---
 
  exten = s,100,--- friends go here ---

 I don't think this would do what you want it to do.  I think you
 should leave the caller id name out of it, and just use numbers.
 Also, I don't think you really want to change the CALLERID of the
 channel at all, just use it to compare.I like Tzafrir's
 ex-girlfriend method.

The positive thing about changing CALLERID(name) is that in case a name
is present it can be displayed on the phone.

Just curious: Is there any reason to *not* use CALLERID(name)?

Of course, you could compres lines 1 and 2 to something like
exten = s,1,GotoIf($[${DB(book/${CALLERID(num)})} = ]?3:100)
I would prefer storing the name, once retrieved from the database, to
later hand it over to the phone - so why not just putting it into the
appropriate variable?

  I'd like to have it only
  be one goto for direct dial, and one for the main menu instead of
  having to manually input all those numbers, and add new ones when
  required.

 Whether you enter them into the dialplan with the ex-girlfriend
 method, put them in a DB, or put them in a goto statement, you're
 going to have to add the new numbers at least once.  I think it's the
 same amount of work to add new numbers using any method.  The
 ex-girlfriend method seems a little more in tune with the 1.4 style
 (non-jumping) dialplans.

One difference is at which time the actualisation takes place. As I
understand, changes in the database could be easily done through a
web-interface, script or whatever without any complex dialplan file
rewriting logic, with changes taking place immediately. Changes to the
dialplan need an extensions reload...

Besides, from an administrative point of view, putting a list into a
database / table probably makes the dialplan easier to read than having
dozens of lines only differing in the caller id part.

My asterisk dialplan for all my phone communication needs heavily relies
on database functions. Any callrouting (incoming SIP calls route to
which internal ids), call forwarding, voicemail delay/activation, call
groups, automated reminder calls - all that can be easily changed by
ssh'ing into the asterisk box, doing asterisk -rx database set
something, voila.

Your mileage is certainly a different one, and I thankfully take ideas
for improvement.

Best regards,

Anselm
