You can find my take on the subject at

I improved the existing scripts from bristuff to be more potent, as
explained in
http://updates.xorcom.com/astribank/bristuff/1.4/INSTALL.html

The bristuff scripts have a little wrapper install.sh that calls
download.sh (downloads and patches. Kind of like rpmbuild -bp) and
compile.sh (builds and installs).

That separation can reduce some of the need for user interaction in your
script.

If you want to use them, I figure you should just remove the patching
commands and then you should be able to use those scripts mostly
unchanged.

 looks like what I want. Hmm, too much. Maybe I should have qualified what 
 kind of channel I'm looking for BEFORE the word channel.

That makes sense to me. It's also what I'm used to from working with
other equipment.

 Here's a suggestion -- stop thinking like a parser and start thinking like 
 a person :)
 
 Which makes more sense (at least in English)?

   2) black show dogs -- sip show channels
   3) dogs black show -- channels sip show
   4) show dogs black -- show channels sip
   5) black dogs show -- sip channels show
   6) dogs show black -- channels show sip

Excellent example. I'll put my 0.2 cents on #1 :) 

 Is it too late to fix this for 1.6?

I sincerely hope not. Your example shows that the CLI could use some
TLC. Let's hope the powers that be agree.

[snip]
 The old way was a mess. We had two different systems, one like your
 old show  and one syntax starting with the module name. We had

 which is not human language-like, but we haven't really clamed that the
 CLI is a human language parser. Maybe we should go for an avatar
 approach...

I have not followed this discussion but the decision is quite puzzling
to me. Why would you make the human interface to Asterisk not human
language-like? That's just not logical. Were the devs expecting that the
majority of users would be HAL2000 clones instead of humans? :)

[snip]

 I do understand the pain with changing the CLI though, I hate to switch
 from Asterisk 1.0 to 1.2 to 1.4 and trunk and have different commands.

This is only an issue for developers and existing users who have (a
combination of) 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 boxes and upgrade to a version with an
improved CLI. New users who get the latest major version of Asterisk
(assuming that version has the improved human language-like CLI) don't
have that issue. I don't mind the CLI differences because at some point
I move all my boxes to the new major release so only have to deal with
one version of the CLI at any time. Change usually means one needs to
adopt and an improved CLI seems worth it to me.

Patrick

[asterisk-users] IAX for asterisk to asterisk

Hi,
I am not new to asterisk but this is the first time im using iax protocol. I
have always used sip before, but i have heard its better to use iax if i
want communication between 2 asterisk servers. I just registered asterisk
server1 with asterisk server2 and tried to call server1 from 2 but the call
does not pass thru. i dont see any messages on the recieving asterisk cli
but the caller asterisk cli show the following messages

Dec 19 11:51:57 WARNING[1987]: chan_iax2.c:7103 socket_read: Call rejected

If you need to record audio, playback audio, or do anything which necessitates
translating g729 to another codec (such as calling a channel using ulaw), you
need to buy licenses.

 Also, how can I use g723 with Asterisk?

The only way currently is to buy the transcoder card, as the patent holders
will not license g.723.1 directly to Digium for a reasonable price.

Note that this is only necessary for the next 7 years, as the related patents
expire sometime in 2014.

[asterisk-users] asterisk with alsa

2007-12-19 Thread Jerry Geis
I need to use asterisk with ALSA and CONSOLE/dsp.
This was working fine standalone.
However, I also need sound from another program on that same ALSA 
connection.

It seems as though asterisk opens the sound port exclusively.
I need it to share the sound card.

How do I do that?

 Sendmail has a notion of trusted users that are allowed to change the
 envelope sender's address. Your Asterisk process userid propably does
 not
 belong to that group. Add it to the group in the wonderfully elegant
 and simple
 sendmail configuration and change the mailcommand in voicemail.conf
 so that you specify another sender.

The line to do this is Tasterisk in sendmail.cf or in sendmail.mc:
define(`confTRUSTED_USERS', `asterisk')dnl

[asterisk-users] Asterisk Realtime SIP rtcachefriends

2007-12-19 Thread adam
I haven't been able to find this on the wiki:

If rtcachefriends=yes.  When will a change to a realtime user/peer take effect? 
 Next registration?  Never?

It's also not clear to me what the purposes of rtautoclear and ignoreregexpire 
are.  The only info I have found is the comments in the sample config file.  
Sounds like rtautoclear will save memory if I have lots of peers.  Is there any 
other reason to enable it?

And why would I want to ignore the fact that a registration is expired?  It 
seems if registration is expired and they don't reregister then the SIP device 
is probably not there anymore. Correct?

Because the form is always section verb arguments, so dogs is the section,

A no authority found message found would indicate that you don't have

 I just registered asterisk server1 with asterisk server2 and tried to
 call server1 from 2 but the call does not pass thru. 

Registration only tells server2 where to send calls to server1 -- it has
absolutely nothing to do with server2 *accepting* calls from server1.
For that to happen, you need a user section on server2 which server1
will authenticate against.

Re: [asterisk-users] Call Recording on Hanup

2007-12-19 Thread Marco Mouta
What makes you decide wehter or not you want to keep the recorded file? Is
the fact that the user hangup the call before the 30 seconds or the fact
that he really talked?

As far as I know current version of asterisk doesn't allow you to detect who
end up the call.

Of course you may use some tricks for these, I mean you may set the IVR to
record a bit more than 30 seconds, then when the call hangs up when you
reach the h extension in you diaplan you may check the answered time of
the call.

If your call has an answered time duration lower than 30 seconds, for sure
was the caller who hangup the call.

Hope it helps.

So asterisk is binding the port.

Re: [asterisk-users] Upgrade to Asterisk 1.4 - it's one year's old!

2007-12-19 Thread Tony Plack
 We're not discussing code or the inner workings of Asterisk or even
 changing the functionality of Asterisk, just what the proper order
 of the words should be.

 Most of us users are people, not parsers. The developers? Well,
 that's why they're developers :)

 Thanks in advance,

We are discussing the inner workings of Asterisk as this is an Asterisk thread. 
 With that in mind, we are also discussing the order that a program works best 
in parsing code.

The real reason that programmers use languages (like C or perl) is that 
machines are less intelligent than humans.  If we used English to program 
computers, the computer would have to read the slight nuances that exist in 
English and just like this thread, we would be asking mathematical machines to 
make assumptions about what each say.  Who is to say what variant of the 
English language is to be used, because people may still not understand the 
syntax of language we use.

That being said, ordering in a command structure should make sense to the 
application (less intelligent entity), not to the programmer (hopefully more 
intelligent).  Anyone who has configured most applications would agree that 
they are more of a programming language than a conversational language.

The Asterisk core program doesn't know what verbs each module, channel, res, or 
function contains.  It must ask the code(noun), for a given verb (function) and 
then pass that function the options (adjectives).

So if I use show black dogs, with dogs being the module, show being the verb, 
and black being the option, here is what would happen:

Look for module show - doesn't exist
Look for module black - doesn't exist
Look for module dogs - Found, get reference
Ask module dogs, for function show - found, get reference
Send option black (remaining words from the parser) to function show in module 
black.

In my opinion that makes Asterisk slow and introduces bugs if some programmer 
creates a new app_black which causes a video screen to go black, then we have a 
problem.

In this example, we are left with fixing the position of the module as position 
3 in the command stack.   That also means that additional parameters (options) 
must limited to one (which doesn't work) or messes with the command structure 
by placing adjectives after the noun like:

show black dogs dachshund

That doesn't make any sense for humans again.

So then for the computer, we are left with the following syntax that works:

Module Function Option1, Option2, 

The module is fixed, position 1.
The function is fixed, position 2.
The options are everything that follows.

In our example, that would be:

dogs show black

Is it English?  No but it isn't Spanish, Italian, and whatever language I have 
left out.  It is Asterisk and computers.  It also means profitable employment 
for people willing to learn this language.

We could fix the verbs that are used, but that means that every module would 
have to have the same core verbs and we could have no exceptions.  That means 
that ZAP, SIP, and MeetMe could have no functions that adhere outside the 
standards OR that most modules would have huge amounts of unnecessary functions 
which do nothing but take up space and cause bugs.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk/iaxclient IAX2 source port

2007-12-19 Thread Chris Tracy
 Why not let the softphones register to the closest asterisk
 box and use dundi to route the calls to the box where the
 softphone is registered ?

Not exactly sure how dundi would solve this issue.  How does a 
softphone configured to connect to sitea.asterisk.server connect to 
siteb.asterisk.server automagically when it's at siteb?  We can't just 
configure the softphones to connect to asterisk because they also need to 
work when the softphone is simply out in the world not at any site.

In the end, the system we have works quite well and we're not really 
interested in the complexity of moving to dundi unless there's no other way or 
a very compelling reason to do so.  (Glad it works well for you though)

The NAT issue is a serious one for us that really does seem to be an 
oversight in the design/implementation of IAX2.  Surely there's a way to tell 
asterisk to use an ephemeral source port for its outbound IAX2 connections...

[asterisk-users] Using * in extension name

2007-12-19 Thread Daniel Hazelbaker
I am trying to setup an extension of *7XXX that will allow me to dial  
*7 and then any extension and use the Pickup application to pickup a  
ringing phone.  Ideally it will also check if the phone is ringing  
somehow and then either dial the extension or pick it up if it is  
ringing.  But I can't get that far.  If I use *7268 specially it works  
fine, but as soon as I introduce any wild card char (X, N, Z, !, .) it  
responds with 404 and nothing is logged.

Can * be used in this manner in a dialplan?  If so then any  
suggestions on what I can check to see why it is doing this?  If not,  
does anybody have a better suggestion for me?  I'd rather not use a  
regular digit as the begin code.

Make sure you have
_*7XXX

The leading underscore introduces a pattern.

 fine, but as soon as I introduce any wild card char (X, N, Z, !, .) it
 responds with 404 and nothing is logged.

Obvious suggestion, but did you prepend the extension with an 
underscore to tell asterisk you wanted a pattern match?  To wit (assuming 
you're using extension.conf and not AEL, but AEL is similar):

exten = *7268,1,NoOp

will work for dialing *7268.  But:

exten = *76XX,1,NoOp

won't ever match anything because you've not told asterisk you're asking 
for a pattern.  But:

exten = _*76XX,1,NoOp

should do what you're after.

You have to start with an underscore character, '_', to make wildcard 
matching work. So your extension should be _*7XXX

I'm not sure if it's possible to do anything in the dialplan
after Pickup() even if it didn't work, but you might try
something like this:

_*7. = {
Pickup(${EXTEN:[EMAIL PROTECTED]);
Dial(Local/${EXTEN:2});
}

I find your idea a bit unusal anyway because when Pickup()'ing
a call I almost never want to talk to the original callee.

Has someone any id or suggestions?

I'm using the latest version of chanskype available on their website.

[asterisk-users] Bulk Reverse Phone Lookup

2007-12-19 Thread Norman Franke
Is anyone aware of a service where we can lookup phone numbers to  
determine a name and/or name + address available in bulk?

We want to look up every number called to our call center, so it will  
be tens of thousands per day. Services that charge 3 to 5 cents per  
lookup will get way too expensive very quickly.

Thus, I'm looking for a service that can either license a database or  
provide bulk lookups for maybe $300-$500/mo? Or even license a  
database for a few grand. Anyone know of something like this?

If that were true then we really should be writing our dialplans in 
binary machine code, that is what that dumb computers REALLY understand.

Fortunately, it's not true. We can take advantage of a GOOD programmer's 
skill to have the computer do the grunt work of converting something 
real people understand into machine code. We  call the product of this 
process a High-Level Programming Language.

A well-written application should attempt to minimize the amount of 
'conversion' the user/programmer has to do. Therefore the command 
structure SHOULD be in a form that is natural for the user/programmer, 
NOT to the machine.

Personally, I would vote for show dogs colour black but maybe I've

[asterisk-users] Realtime logic in Asterisk 1.4.16.1

2007-12-19 Thread Mindaugas Kezys
Hello,

I have configured one provider in Asterisk Realtime DB without username and 
password, only host=providers_IP and ipaddress=providers_IP

Now when I'm trying to send call using this provider I'm using following 
string: Dial(SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED])

In Asterisk 1.4.15 debug I see that Realtime engine is using query:

[Dec 20 00:02:15] DEBUG[14634]: res_config_mysql.c:138 realtime_mysql: MySQL 
RealTime: Retrieve SQL: SELECT * FROM devices WHERE name = 'Provider'

to retrieve info about this device. 

And in Asterisk 1.4.16.1 I see:

[Dec 20 00:04:12] DEBUG[25686]: res_config_mysql.c:138 realtime_mysql: MySQL 
RealTime: Retrieve SQL: SELECT * FROM devices WHERE name = 'Provider' AND host 
= 'dynamic'

Note: host = 'dynamic'

Where this came from? In mine DB host=providers_IP, how Asterisk managed to 
visualize that it should be dynamic?!

Offcourse I get:

[Dec 20 00:05:58] WARNING[25686]: chan_sip.c:2898 create_addr: No such host:

create channel of type 'SIP' (cause 3 - No route to destination)
  == Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:0/0/1)

Because Realtime Engine is not able to find my Provider which is NOT DYNAMIC!

No other settings changed. Same configuration files. res_config_mysql.so 
recompiled to 1.4.16.1.

Please help or explain what's wrong!

Michiel,

I'm still confused as to how this would help me.  Nevertheless, 
I'm curious:

 Why not let the softphones register to the closest asterisk
 box and use dundi to route the calls to the box where the
 softphone is registered ?

How do you get around having to synchronize the softphone reg info 
between sites?  Or is there some DUNDi magic that would allow a softphone 
from site-A to register on site-B's asterisk box without site-B having a 
local entry in iax.conf for that softphone?

 We are discussing the inner workings of Asterisk as this is an Asterisk
 thread.  With that in mind, we are also discussing the order that a
 program works best in parsing code.

I disagree. I can discuss the placement of the controls in my car without
the slightest interest in whatever is in front of the firewall.

This is not the inner workings, just the external presentation.

 The real reason that programmers use languages (like C or perl) is that
 machines are less intelligent than humans.  If we used English to program
 computers, the computer would have to read the slight nuances that exist
 in English and just like this thread, we would be asking mathematical
 machines to make assumptions about what each say.  Who is to say what
 variant of the English language is to be used, because people may still
 not understand the syntax of language we use.

Who is to say is the developers since it is their gift that we use. My
only hope is to influence their decisions to what I think will suit me and
the majority of whom I perceive to be the users. If I don't like it, I know
my choices -- I can choose not to use their product, I can adapt to their
decisions, I can suffer in silence, I can ask for consensus for change, I
could even write a humongous patch to coerce their code to fit my view of
the world.

 That being said, ordering in a command structure should make sense to the
 application (less intelligent entity), not to the programmer (hopefully
 more intelligent).  Anyone who has configured most applications would
 agree that they are more of a programming language than a conversational
 language.

I disagree. I think the command structure should make sense to me.

I'm pretty sure the engineers that designed my car placed the air
conditioner controls comfortably within my reach because users before me
said that's where they wanted them to be. Otherwise, we might find the air
conditioner control under the hood next to the compressor because it used
less wire.

I think the command structure should follow widely accepted patterns --
MySQL, GDB, Oracle, ad nauseum.

Think how much fun it would be if Chevy engineers thought the brake should
be under your right foot and Ford engineers thought the gas should be there.
I'm sure both camps would have rational arguments. Now if we could just get
the Brits on the right side of the road...

 The Asterisk core program doesn't know what verbs each module, channel,
 res, or function contains.  It must ask the code(noun), for a given verb
 (function) and then pass that function the options (adjectives).

You are mistaken. When a module is loaded it registers as many CLI objects
as it wants to, so the core does know what commands are available.

 So if I use show black dogs, with dogs being the module, show being the
 verb, and black being the option, here is what would happen:
 
 Look for module show - doesn't exist
 Look for module black - doesn't exist
 Look for module dogs - Found, get reference
 
 Ask module dogs, for function show - found, get reference
 
 Send option black (remaining words from the parser) to function show in
 module black.

This is only because of how you think it works. It doesn't work that way and
I don't really care how it works. I just know how I want it to look.

It would be perfectly reasonable for a module to register cli objects with a
show command handler. Look at the code in chan_sip.c. The module registers
multiple objects with sip and show as the first 2 words in the command.

You are thinking way too rigidly. Asterisk does not need to know a noun from
a verb, just what words can follow which words and how to complete the
command (as in show channel TAB).

 In my opinion that makes Asterisk slow and introduces bugs if some
 programmer creates a new app_black which causes a video screen to go
 black, then we have a problem.

And that is what it is -- an opinion. I don't see a problem here. A well
defined, consistent command structure would ease the addition and adoption
of new apps, not hinder it.

 In this example, we are left with fixing the position of the module as
 position 3 in the command stack.  That also means that additional
 parameters (options) must limited to one (which doesn't work) or messes
 with the command structure by placing adjectives after the noun like:

No. we don't need to fix anything in any position. The command parser only
needs to know what words can follow the current word.

 show black dogs dachshund
 
 That doesn't make any sense for humans again.

Thank you for pointing this, but I red this doc many times. It does not help.

I tried to put username/password for my device - but it still is looking for 
dynamic. Does it mean I can't have anything else in host field for device 
except dynamic?

Also this PDF states:

An attacker may impersonate any user using host-based authentication without a 
secret, simply by guessing the username of that user.

AFAIK host-based authentication is done by IP address. Username and password 
are not present. Following this I see no logic in above statements:

host-based authentication without a secret - host-based auth. is always 
WITHOUT secret, and

simply by guessing the username of that user - again - host-based auth. is 
always WITHOUT username

If device (peer/user) has username/password - that's not HOST-BASED 
authentication.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Question follows - how can I have host-based authentication in Realtime in 
Asterisk 1.4.16.1??



Maybe tommorow we will see Asterisk 1.4.16.2?

Correct, that's the FIRST lookup that is done.

It then checks the IP address and does:

SELECT * FROM devices WHERE name = 'Provider' AND host='23.45.67.89'
where the IP address is what is sent in the SIP INVITE.

If that fails, it does a lookup only on the name (old behavior).

If that fails:  SELECT * FROM devices WHERE host='23.45.67.89' AND port='5060'

Re: [asterisk-users] Using * in extension name

2007-12-19 Thread Daniel Hazelbaker
Just to finish off this thread for anybody else who wants the same  
functionality:

As Philipp coded out, what I was originally doing was something akin  
to the following:

_*7. = {
Pickup(${EXTEN:[EMAIL PROTECTED]);
Dial(Local/${EXTEN:2});
}

Somebody else wondered why I would do this as I wouldn't want to talk  
to the original callee.  Pickup() will never return if it successfully  
picks up the call.  So if it does return then we can assume (for now)  
that the phone is not ringing and then proceed to dial the number.

As I said, this did work perfectly.  However, I discovered that the  
Grandstream phones we use automatically prepend ** to the monitored  
extension.  So if the phone is not ringing it will dial 268, if the  
phone is ringing it will dial **268.  So in the end I ended up with:

_**. = { Pickup(${EXTEN:[EMAIL PROTECTED]); }

And all works perfectly.  Obviously for other phones I would have to  
come up with something else like the above, but with the grandstreams  
it seems to work great.

 Subject: [asterisk-users] Using * in extension name

 I am trying to setup an extension of *7XXX that will allow me
 to dial
 *7 and then any extension and use the Pickup application to pickup a
 ringing phone.  Ideally it will also check if the phone is ringing
 somehow and then either dial the extension or pick it up if it is
 ringing.  But I can't get that far.  If I use *7268 specially
 it works
 fine, but as soon as I introduce any wild card char (X, N, Z,
 !, .) it
 responds with 404 and nothing is logged.

 Can * be used in this manner in a dialplan?  If so then any
 suggestions on what I can check to see why it is doing this?
 If not,
 does anybody have a better suggestion for me?  I'd rather not use a
 regular digit as the begin code.

I don't have a hypothetical MGCP device. I don't even have a real MGCP 
device. I'm guessing MGCP is some sort of technology like IAX or SIP.

These are not actions, but pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

The leaves only have meaning when they are attached to branches, 
Grasshopper.

black
dogs
show

doesn't mean anything, but show black dogs does.

If cheating isn't allowed, I'd guess at assembling these words into 
commands like:

show [active] mgcp channels
hangup [mgcp] channel xyz
set [mgcp] channel xyz boost [=] 5

But this doesn't prove or disprove anything except my ignorance of MGCP. A 
more meaningful exercise would be How would you phrase a command to 
show the configuration or status of a channel? or How would you phrase 
a command to set the transmit gain of a channel?

I would do it like this:

show [iax|mgcp|sip|zap] channel xyz [configuration|status]
set channel xyz [receive|transmit] gain [=] 5

But I am open to alternatives :)

I agree that CURRENTLY, there's no way to make everything verb noun.
However, I could completely see a requirement for all modules to
register their syntax variations with a CLI interpreter, so that if you
typed IN a verb, the CLI interpreter would know to which modules that
verb applies because the modules have registered their verbs.

That's generally the way it's done in interpreters which are V-N for
everything.

Of course, that might take a whole rewrite and be completely
impractical. But hey it COULD be done

Pretty darn close. Sometimes the followed bys precede the category.

So you could enter:

show channel TAB

and be presented with a list of all channels. Or you could enter:

show sip channel TAB

and be presented with a list of all SIP channels.

This definitely sounds the way to do it. I agree that the order that the words

 I wonder if there are any major obstacles for upgrading.

 How about the change from a bad command line interface to a really bad
 command line interface?

 I mean, Seriously? (in a Grey's Anatomy kind of way...)

 The old syntax was inconsistent -- show manager command vs sip show
 channels and just plain bad -- for example sip reload should have been
 reload sip.

 The new syntax continues down the noun-verb path instead of correcting
 itself and using verb-noun like most other applications (MySQL, GDB,
 Oracle, etc.)

 Then, just to make it worse, now I have to learn which commands somebody
 (arbitrarily) decided are core and which are not -- for what benefit?
 Certainly doesn't make MY job easier!

 Approach the command line like a noob. I want Asterisk to show me
 something so I'll start the command line with show. I'm not quite sure
 what I'm doing, so I'll press TAB to see what I can show. Oh, channel
 looks like what I want. Hmm, too much. Maybe I should have qualified what
 kind of channel I'm looking for BEFORE the word channel.

 Here's a suggestion -- stop thinking like a parser and start thinking like
 a person :)

 Which makes more sense (at least in English)?

  1) show black dogs -- show sip channels
  2) black show dogs -- sip show channels
  3) dogs black show -- channels sip show
  4) show dogs black -- show channels sip
  5) black dogs show -- sip channels show
  6) dogs show black -- channels show sip

 Is it too late to fix this for 1.6?

 Thanks in advance,

I think as many people have pointed out they are used to a lot of commands 
out there so changing it yet again would make more people unhappy. But maybe 
asterisk can have both. Why not sip show channels for the old timers and 
show channels sip or show sip channels for the n00b's. Why shouldn't 
asterisk have both options ?

I think it should stay here. Otherwise us users only (non devs) would have no

posted questions on IRC I have been just taunted for my lack of knowledge on

 you are very important in this process. And for those of you who

Olle I would love to test but I do not know what I am looking for. I would 
say that I have a fairly good knowledge of Asterisk  however I am not the 
best at tracing the root problems of issues. I have no problem of loading 
the bleeding edge version on a spate box, loading my current configs on it 
and seeing where it goes down. Maybe some info on what to look for when 
there are issues would help.

Another thing is I have a limited amount of dial plan code that I use as 
well as time. Maybe people can contribute lines of dial plan that they use 
and we can put it on one central system. Other people can then test the 
functionality of what users post that their dial plan logic is supposed to 
do. If a test user has an issue with the way a call is supposed to work 
then some one else can look at where and why it is breaking. I think this is 
a good way for us to test each others dial plan logic, see errors etc. Of 
course there is a question of who will run the box, debug etc. I would have 
no problem donating a box for people to use in such a test scenario.

[asterisk-users] turn off auto-seek extention - force use timeout

2007-12-19 Thread Justin Killen
I have an application where a call-in user is prompted to enter an
identification number for schedule information.  That id number is setup
as an extension, and if that extension doesn't exist, it tells them that
they are not scheduled, then loops back to ask for the id number again.
My problem is that asterisk pre-emptively goes to the i extension
(invalid) too early depending on available extensions.  For example, if
I put in id number 4768, and there is only 4790 and 4732, it will push
to the invalid extension on the 6, then the not scheduled playback
message (a cepstral command) gets cancelled out from the DTMF push of
the 8.  So, if I put in 4768, I get prompted to enter an id number.
What I would like to do is turn off this feature, so that the number
input does not get evaluated until after the timeout (preferably
configurable from the extensions.conf file).

 

Thanks in advance

-Justin

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk to make multiple extensions simultaneous calls on a single telephone line

2007-12-19 Thread Mojo with Horan Company, LLC
But he's talking about a single POTS line into a single FXO.  Only one 
conversation can occur across this link at a time.  The PSTN provider 
may send you special ring indications over that line to indicate which 
number was *dialed* to make it ring, but only one conversation at a 
time.  Generally, when one of your FXS phones is calling out on the POTS 
line, the other FXS phone will fail in its Dial statement and move along 
in the dialplan, probably indicating Congestion if you've configured 
nothing else.

 Is it achievble in Asterisk to let  them make PSTN call

 I don't know anything about traditional PBX system, it seems one shop

[asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.4.15, Solaris and record command

2007-12-19 Thread Mike Clark
I have installed Asterisk 1.4.15 on Solaris and got it all running 
seemingly fine. However, when I record a message or voicemail, it will 
not recognize the '#' key to stop recording. Hanging up is the only way 
to end the recording. DTMF seems to work fine elsewhere. Is there a 
common problem or issue that I am missing? I've tried Google, but have 
had no success.

Thanks,

Mike

Re: [asterisk-users] turn off auto-seek extention - force use timeout

2007-12-19 Thread Mojo with Horan Company, LLC
So I'm guessing this is what you're doing:
--
[ids]
exten = s,1,playback(enter your id number)
exten = s,2,WaitExten(10)
exten = s,3,Goto(1)

exten = 4768,1,blahblahblah
exten = 4790,1,blahblahblah
exten = 4732,1,blahblahblah

exten = i,1,playback(error)
exten = i,2,goto(s,1)
--
So, maybe place the phones in a context that waits for a four-digit id 
_before_ matching it to the context you were initially trying:
--
[getid]
exten = s,1,playback(enter your id number)
exten = s,2,WaitExten(10)
exten = s,3,Goto(1)

exten = _4XXX,1,goto(ids,${exten},1)

[ids]
exten = 4768,1,blahblahblah
exten = 4790,1,blahblahblah
exten = 4732,1,blahblahblah

exten = i,1,playback(error)
exten = i,2,goto(getid,s,1)

--

Untested: I wonder if one entered an extension that didn't exist, say 
4555, when we tried to Goto(ids, 4555, 1) would we get directed to 
extension i in the extensions context or would the call be dropped 
completely?

 it will push to the invalid extension on the 6, then the “not

 from the DTMF push of the 8. So, if I put in 4768, I get prompted to 
 enter an id number. What I would like to do is turn off this feature, 
 so that the number input does not get evaluated until after the 
 timeout (preferably configurable from the extensions.conf file).

 I sincerely hope not. Your example shows that the CLI could use some
 TLC. Let's hope the powers that be agree.

some of them have good quality. but most of them won't offer future firmware
support, which we think it's important for ip phones.

while this seems like a good idea to have both sip show channels and

thing would confuse/cripple the learning curve... * would turn into a 
microsoft mentality where there are dozens of ways to 
configure/reconfigure some of their products...  word, for example, can 
be configured with or without the tool bars and then you can configure

 The old syntax was inconsistent -- show manager command vs sip show

 reload sip.

 The new syntax continues down the noun-verb path instead of correcting
 itself and using verb-noun like most other applications (MySQL, GDB,

 Then, just to make it worse, now I have to learn which commands somebody

 I think as many people have pointed out they are used to a lot of commands 
 out there so changing it yet again would make more people unhappy. But maybe 
 asterisk can have both. Why not sip show channels for the old timers and 
 show channels sip or show sip channels for the n00b's. Why shouldn't 
 asterisk have both options ?

Hi tbskyd,

We have found that the Grandstream's are not that great a phone. One of
our best sellers is the Snom range and I know that the Australian
supplier spends half his time in Hong Kong so you shouldn't have any
problems getting so over there. They are a little more expensive than
the Grandstream's but cheaper than the Polycoms around that Aastra price
range.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk.NET API --help required

2007-12-19 Thread srinivas Antarvedi
Hello all,

Here is the requirement from my side
to  use Asterisk.NET API  to  generate
an automated call  (outgoing)  from asterisk
and then link to one of the extensions which
plays a sound file for the callee.

For this i have worked out in the follwing way

1)modified manager.conf to facilitate this API to talk to asterisk
2)used the command Originate to call a Registered user under
   asterisk and when the user answers the phone it plays whatever
   i put against the extension..

But my exact requirement is like this

1)Call to the user
2)if answers connect him to the extension provided in the extensions.conf
3)if the user didnt lift the phone within the deault timeout period(30 sec)
4)if the user cancels the phone (Congestion case)
5)if the user not registerd to the(unreachable case)

to trace the cases of 3, 4, 5 how should i follow the API
I got confused with originate action,orginate sucess event , originate
failure event

can anybody give me a hint so that i can proceed further

thanks in advance for the kind suggestions.


regards
srinivas antarvedi

You get what you pay for.

Snoms are good phones. Grandstreams are also good. I hear Snoms are easier
to get around NAT and the seem like higher quality construction.
Grandstreams are great for cheap and easy set-ups. I remember one guy
telling me he buy up a case and if anything goes wrong with a unit he has a
couple spares to go in its place.

Over all... if you're looking for setting up office phones, Snom, Polycom,
and Aastra look/feel nice.
If you're looking to set up small offices or call centers on the cheap,
Grandstreams are OK.

I personally like Grandstream for home use, but I use Polycom for work, and
I hear good things about Snom.

  thanks for your great opinion. we will buy spares of course. our new
office needs about 150 phone.we use alcatel before. but want to
change to asterisk now for better future.
  since aastra is not sale to asia (that's sad, aastra boss seems born

expensive,
i saw someone say their cheap model has no hardware transfer key. so

   Hi tbskyd,
  
   We have found that the Grandstream's are not that great a phone. One of
   our best sellers is the Snom range and I know that the Australian
   supplier spends half his time in Hong Kong so you shouldn't have any
   problems getting so over there. They are a little more expensive than
   the Grandstream's but cheaper than the Polycoms around that Aastra price
   range.
  
   Cheers,
  
   Joel.

Hi:
   i am surveying ip phones for our company. we will use them with
 asterisk.
   we have office in taiwan, hong kong,singapore and china.
   cisco and polycom are too expensive for us.
   we try several china brand ip phones. they are all cheap and
some of them have good quality. but most of them won't offer future
 firmware
support, which we think it's important for ip phones.
   searching in the mail list, we found aastra is good, but they don't
 sale to
asia. grandstream looks good also.there are many grandstream users in
 the list,
can someone share any good or bad experience about grandstream today?
   if there are other good choice, please tell us!!
   thanks a lot for your help!!
   
Regards,
tbskyd
