Re: [asterisk-users] GSM gateways - which one ?

2008-12-02 Thread hakem Ta
I recommand what I know and I sell. Vierling Ecotel VoIP for small
capacities and Vierling VTM-pro for ISDN interfaces

 Portech makes larger rack mounted modular multi-channel gateways as
 well. Not sure about the ISDN interface, but certainly with T-1/E-1
 PRI.

[asterisk-users] cepstral vs festival

2008-12-02 Thread Eric Fort
I'm about to begin working on an ivr project to do database backed
scheduling.  I would like to use text to speech in some places.  What are
the differences in using festival vs. Cepstral?  How are they similar, how
are they different?  Is one really better than the other?  How and Why?

Thanks,

Eric

   Hi,
  
   Testing latest 1.6.1, it occurred to me I had to add a couple of noload
   statements in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf to remove ERROR messages, when
   starting Asterisk.
   (I don't imply those ERROR messages were fatal to Asterisk but as a
  general
   rule, I tried to start Asterisk without any of those).
 
  Could you be specific? I think that some messages may be
  wrongly-labeled.
 
 
 From memory, I had  for instance Failed to open /dev/dahdi/transcode: No
 such file or directory on pure-IP platform in which I installed
 asterisk-libpri-dahdi trilogy.

/dev/dahdi/transcode should only be required for codec_dahdi.so . Most
people don't need it and would be annoyed by the warning[0]

 
 Maybe, it's me while following README instructions, maybe README
 instructions could be improved or maybe it's wrongly labeled messages ?
 That's why I told myself : I'm waiting too much from doc ? is a pure-IP
 platform too specific ? what is the official policy ?
 
 README starts with check hardware compliance.
 So maybe, the policy is to have a somehow functional system with any of
 mentioned compliant hardware, with all enhancements such as running as
 non-root, set apart.

 
 
 
 
  
   As I'm not very familiar with module concepts at the moment, I told myself
   it would be helpful, if strictly following instructions included in README
   files, I did get a system that starts without any ERROR message of any 
   kind
   and still could provide some basic telephony services.
  
   So my question is :
   - is there a policy fixing the target of README files ?

Yes, please submit fixes.

   - for example, if someone installs Asterisk (according README files) on a
   platform equipped with a Digium analog board, should this board be
   automatically discovered, configured and ready to run ?
 
  Not yet:
 
  # which modules to load: a temporary workaround
 
 
 That's the point : if optimizing modules load could be postponed to a later
 stage, that would be better, IMHO, as installing from source is already a
 long process.

modules here referes to DAHDI (kernel) modules rather than Asterisk
ones. It refers to an inherent limitation of Zaptel/DAHDI - the order of
hardware discovery sets the order of channels. However fixing this is
not trivial to say the least. So let's leave it aside for now. It's not
really something you care about if you just have a single card, anyway
:-)

 
 
  # dahdi_modules is a simple two-liner scrippt that is currently not
  # installed by default. I figure I should get that functionality added
  # to dahdi_genconf
  dahdi_modules /etc/dahdi/modules
  /etc/init.d/dahdi start
  # generate /etc/dahdi/system.conf and /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf
  dahdi_genconf
  dahdi_cfg
 
  # edit chan_dahdi.conf accordingly. e.g.:
  echo '#include dahdi-channels.conf' /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf
 
  # apply changes: start/restart asterisk, or:
  asterisk -rx 'dahdi restart'
 
 
 IMHO, setting a policy would help to guide efforts of many people involved.
 That done, maybe we would conclude an interactive script would be the
 missing piece to incorporate user choices that are hard to default to.

The above procedure is not a policy. 

The fact that a configuration can be generaed automatically without
manual fine tuning indicates to me that it should be. Currently I'm
looking into ways of doing so (and still allowing simple manual
overrides). I hope that generally running dahdi_cfg on each span
separately on each span at post-registration would do the trick, but
this still takes exposing information through sysfs or whatever.

As a side note, I would rather avoid interactive setup scripts as they 
tend to be complicated to automate and force you to keep feeding the 
same selections again and again. Sangoma's setup script is, IMHO, an 
example of an interactive script that requires an expert, and takes a 
heaps of screen space. Not to mention changes a half the system to fit 
its grand plan.

[0] Either actively annoyed by it, or learn to ignore it, and hence
later on ignore a warning / error you should have read.

[asterisk-users] Persistentmembers (Not working with restart)

2008-12-02 Thread Cordeiro, Marco
Hello All,

 

I currently have an Asterisk Box, running a callcenter with 04 queues. I set
queues.conf with persistentmembers=yes in the general section as follows:

 

[general]

monitor-type = MixMonitor

persistentmembers = yes

 

However when I perform any kind of restart in the Asterisk application, all
agents are considered unavailable after that. 

 

Though when performing reload, agents keep their status as it was before the
reload. 

 

Is there any where else that I should set dynamic agents as persistent
members to keep their status after a asterisk restart??

 

Thanks,

 

Marco

Please let me know how to force my asterisk from sending such packets and if
someone has an idea about similar problem

  So your customers are only allowed to download public domain
  material?  That kind of restricts the amount of information
  available on the Internet.  Nitpick:  just about everything, including
  this email, is copyrighted by somebody.  Forbidding the download
  of copyrighted works is not only a draconian policy, but may actually
  violate several copyright laws (you're interfering with a copyright
  owner's right to distribute his/her/their works, and courts are
  generally not very sympathetic with your position).

 Oops!  Didn't mean to start a fire here.

 I meant to say illegal copyrighted material.  Also, if they
 are using up hundreds of Internet connections, we can see
 that.  It essentially causes a Denial of Service situation
 for other users on that leg of our wireless network.  The system
 supposedly has rate limiting, but seems to get overloaded when
 someone goes completely nuts with BitTorrent.  We are working
 on ways to limit the number of simultaneous connections.

 When we get a copyright infringment notice from our upstream
 provider, we are compelled to reprimand the user.  I don't
 think we have sent a customer to the shower even if they
 had several notices.

 Net Neutrality is great in principle.  But ISP's need to
 somehow control those few percentage of users who suck down
 a huge majority of the bandwidth.  It's dollars and cents.

 Es tut mir leid für das Durcheinander meine Brüder!


   
This is the classic logical fallacy that people seem to perpetuate when
reporting news about P2P activity.

ISPs oversubscribe. It's a common practice, and reasonably valid. But
when you oversubscribe, you use a model based on 'projected' use of the
available circuits and bandwidth. If you have a user who pays for a
circuit that you've advertised as an X Mb line, and he uses X Mb ALL the
time, he's using what he's paying for. If you then proceed to tell him
that he can't do that, you're either wrong or you're not being up front
enough with your pricing and marketing materials. You can't then proceed
to blame the customer for use you did not anticipate.

Imagine a farmer who sells tomatoes. He's promised you a bushel, but he
gets a harvest of only so many. You walk up to the counter just after
he's sold all of his tomatoes to someone and he tells you Sorry. There
are no more tomatoes because that customer before you just 'stole' them
all from you. He's abusing his privileges by buying up my whole crop. 

Now whose fault is it that you don't get the tomatoes you want? Is it
the customer's fault for buying all the tomatoes the farmer sold him? Or
is it the farmer's fault for selling them?

The same works with the ISP vs P2P argument. If the ISPs were up-front
about saying that they do not intend for you to actually USE the
bandwidth you think you're paying for, I would say they had a leg upon
which to stand. However, hiding this information from the customer and
then blaming the customer when he does what he believes is well within
his rights... it may play well in the media, but it's bad for the whole
system and is incredibly divisive.

Hi,

 

How can I park a call from dialplan and get going??

 

Example:

 

 

1.   Answer

2.   While follow = false

3.   ParkCall

4.   Checksomthing à follow = true

5.   Endwhile

6.   UnParkCall

7.   Go on…..

 

The idea is let the call waiting while I do some things on the dialplan, is
it possible?? Maybe is not parking the solution??

 

Thanks

As someone who is the technical lead for several ISPs, it is my professional

Torrent does not interfere with VOIP on a well-designed network any more than 
FTP or web browsing.

Honestly, hire a competent admin to set up and run your infrastructure.  If 
torrent's killing VOIP, that means that adding more VOIP will also kill it.  
Or excessive web browsing.

[asterisk-users] Using Dial M option from extensions.ael

2008-12-02 Thread Olivier
Hi,

How can you use Dial application M(x) option from extensions.ael ?
(As a reminder, this M(x) executes macro x when Dial called party answers).

It seems to me that asterisk keeps looking for this macro in extensions.conf
and not in extensions.ael.
I tried both (and variations of those with ^ instead of ,) :
Dial(Local/${EXTEN:1},,M(mymacro(${EXTEN}));
Dial(Local/${EXTEN:1},,M(mymacro,${EXTEN}));

both lead to unexpected results:
macro_exec: No such context 'macro-mymacro' for macro 'mymacro'

As a workaround, I could write my macro in extensions.conf, but ...

Yes, just like the airlines need to somehow control those users who
keep showing up to the flight they booked, every single time! It's
impossible to do overbooking with customers like that, so we need to
find ways of punishing them.

[asterisk-users] How to get both channel ids from diaplan ?

2008-12-02 Thread Olivier
Hi,

I think this have been talked over several times but I couldn't find any
answer.
Sorry for asking.

I want from dialplan, to transfer a callee to a context-extension-priority
that would play a given fax file to callee (callee is supposed to be a fax
number).

I can get caller's channel id (with built-in CHANNEL variable).
I found BRIDGEPEER but its value remains unset (see bellow) even inside
connect2fax routine (in which I would like to re-direct both channels :
incoming channel to let caller hear you successfully sent a fax and
outgoing channel to get fax content) :

context mylocal {
_2X. = {
NoOp(Calling ${EXTEN:1} from ${CALLERID(num)} using
${CHANNEL});
NoOp(Peer is ${BRIDGEPEER});

Dial(Local/${EXTEN:1},,U(connect2fax,${EXTEN},${UNIQUEID},${BRIDGEPEER}));
Hangup();
};
};


Any idea ?

Cheers

There was an IP address printed on a sticker on the device -
didn't work. And the Ecotel didn't ask my DHCP server for an
address either. I used nmap to scan my net for the device. Found
it but: no telnet, no web GUI, nothing.
When my hair started to turn gray I found out that it came with
a MS-Windows-only configuration tool. Great! :-(
And - guess what - that tool managed to break almost every human

However when you finally have the thing up and running it works.
And maybe it's all better now.

[asterisk-users] MixMonitor and ChanSpy strangeness...

2008-12-02 Thread Geraint Lee
Hello there...

Noticed some strangeness going on with mixmonitor and chanspy, the called
(External SIP) party seem to be responding before the calling party
(Internal SIP) on call recordings and also when you listen in using chanspy.
as far as the agent (calling party) is conserned the conversation is
perfectly normal... just not the recordings that are produced, or any spying
that's going on at the time.

This is happening on mixmonitor recordings even if you're not listening in
on chanspy too.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Geraint

 I know I can setup asterisk without Internet at all and it works as

 Would an asterisk box work with a dynamic IP, with a dyndns name?
 What must I take care if I try that?

I had my * server behind my adsl router that was getting a dynamic Ip 
address. I simply created a domain for my site at http://www.dyndns.com/ 
(free) and it worked fine.

Re: [asterisk-users] CDR Design

2008-12-02 Thread Grey Man

 Everyone--

 I've just made some major changes to the CDRfix2.rfc.txt
 file in http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/murf/RFCs
 to accommodate the Leg approach instead of a
 channel-based approach.


Hi murf,

I've got a couple of points (as always) from the new design.

First one would be the generation of CDRs when putting a call on hold.
I don't think that should occur. When a call is put on hold Asterisk
never changes the endpoints of a call all it does is possibly change
the media to one or both of the call ends. CDRs are about call
endpoints not about media transitions. In SIP terms putting a call on
hold is no different to changing codecs both operations are re-INVITES
and are irrelevant as far as CDRs and billing go.

As far as internal calls vs external calls go I would argue that
Asterisk can distinguish between them. Any call initiated with the
Dial (or equivalent) app is an outgoing call. Anything call request
arriving at Asterisk from the outside World is an internal call. For a
standard call from a SIP user there are two call legs; the incoming
call leg to Asterisk and the outgoing call from the dialplan. For a
DAHDI user there is only a single call leg being the outgoing call
from the dialplan since providing dialtone when they pick up the phone
is not a call leg. I guess it's not really relevant for the CDR design
but it's actually not a difficult thing to cope with when writing a
billing engine for Asterisk, I know as I've done it.

I like the new CDR fields. My number one concern would be to get the
CDRs accurate but additional useful information can only help as long
as it used the right way, i.e. not treated as definitive for billing
purposes.

For the linkedid and ideally the uniqueid I reaally think it would be
vastly more useful to use a GUID or UUID rather than a incrementing
sort of unique id. A lot of use are dealing with CDRs by writing them
to databases and it would greatly simplify and improve the robustness
of billing if Asterisk CDRs could be categorically be indentified as
unique. If we need to know which CDR came first we can use the
calldate ther is no need for the linkedid or uniqueid to double up for
that.

I'm not to sure about:

In a leg-based sort of system, CDRs would follow bridging.

Does that mean whenever the end of a bridge changes a CDR is
generated? And does it mean there are two CDRs per bridge or one?

From your examples there only seems to be one CDR per bridge which
straight away I can think of a scenario that would cause a problem. If
I supply toll free numbers that need to be billed for incoming calls
and that can be forwarded out to billable destinations then I want a
CDR for both ends of the bridge.

In your first blind transfer example what if the initial incoming call
to A is billable? I can't see any easy way to get the duration of that
call leg.

Regards,

Greyman.

Re: [asterisk-users] Which installation policy is behind Asterisk doc delivered with source code ?

  Hi,
 
  Testing latest 1.6.1, it occurred to me I had to add a couple of noload

 Could you be specific? I think that some messages may be
 wrongly-labeled.


From memory, I had  for instance Failed to open /dev/dahdi/transcode: No
such file or directory on pure-IP platform in which I installed
asterisk-libpri-dahdi trilogy.

Maybe, it's me while following README instructions, maybe README
instructions could be improved or maybe it's wrongly labeled messages ?
That's why I told myself : I'm waiting too much from doc ? is a pure-IP
platform too specific ? what is the official policy ?

README starts with check hardware compliance.
So maybe, the policy is to have a somehow functional system with any of
mentioned compliant hardware, with all enhancements such as running as
non-root, set apart.




 
  As I'm not very familiar with module concepts at the moment, I told
 myself
  it would be helpful, if strictly following instructions included in
 README
  files, I did get a system that starts without any ERROR message of any
 kind
  and still could provide some basic telephony services.
 
  So my question is :
  - is there a policy fixing the target of README files ?
  - for example, if someone installs Asterisk (according README files) on a
  platform equipped with a Digium analog board, should this board be
  automatically discovered, configured and ready to run ?

 Not yet:

 # which modules to load: a temporary workaround


That's the point : if optimizing modules load could be postponed to a later
stage, that would be better, IMHO, as installing from source is already a
long process.


 # dahdi_modules is a simple two-liner scrippt that is currently not
 # installed by default. I figure I should get that functionality added
 # to dahdi_genconf
 dahdi_modules /etc/dahdi/modules
 /etc/init.d/dahdi start
 # generate /etc/dahdi/system.conf and /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf
 dahdi_genconf
 dahdi_cfg

 # edit chan_dahdi.conf accordingly. e.g.:
 echo '#include dahdi-channels.conf' /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf

 # apply changes: start/restart asterisk, or:
 asterisk -rx 'dahdi restart'


IMHO, setting a policy would help to guide efforts of many people involved.
That done, maybe we would conclude an interactive script would be the
missing piece to incorporate user choices that are hard to default to.

[asterisk-users] 1.4.22 crashing on Solaris in ast_dynamic_str_thread_build_va

2008-12-02 Thread Peter Galiovsky
Hello,

Asterisk 1.4.22 keeps crashing on Solaris 5.10 i386.
ast_dynamic_str_thread_build_va() seems to be passed some kind of
garbage (see attached dbx output) which ultimately brings down the
whole process. As a workaround, I've set the debug level to 0 for now.
Should I submit this as a bug?

Thanks for any help. Best,

Re: [asterisk-users] Dahdi, b410p and looping from 1 port to another

2008-12-02 Thread Andrew Thomas
 For a ptmp setup where you have multiple phones. 

Or even a single phone if the port is set to ptmp.

Proof of this point is the way I am using our B410P card.  Ports 1 and 2
are TE (ptp) and ports 3  4 are NT (ptmp).

I have a single ISDN modem connected to port 3 and the B410P would not
even look at it unless the 100ohm termination was switched on.

So, to reiterate - ptp needs no 100ohm termination (because the end
point provides it - aka TEI 0, but ptmp does - aka TEI 127).

Looks like we are going to agree to disagree on this one.

I know the DAHDI package(s) no longer include make b410p - hence the

Hi,

1. Has anyone got any success when send a TIFF file form one zoiper
softphone to another ?
I tried using Zoiper 2.18 free edition in windows but I'm seeing 415
Unsupported media replies.

2. Here (http://www.voipinfo.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+T.38), you can read :
Also, try using:

 t38_udptl=yes
 t38pt_rtp=no
 t38pt_tcp=no

... in the general section of the sip.conf and under the VoIP provider
account as well as the fax account. 

But above, you can read
[general]
t38pt_udptl = yes 

Has this parameter name changed between 1.4 to 1.6 from t38_udptl to
t38pt_udptl ?
A asterisk remains silent when I add an unknown parameter foo=bar, it
would perfect if someone could point the right name (t38_udptl or
t38pt_udptl).

haven't tinkered too much with either. There is a reason one is pay and one
free though J I believe cepstral is still offering demo's, I'd download each
and see which one gives you the performance you're looking for. 

 

Thanks,

Festival is a free voice that sounds like a machine.  Cepstral is a fee
based human voice ($30 USD per voice per CPU).  They are similar in that
they both produce mechanically timed output.  IMO, you should use festival
if this isn't a customer based interface.  If it is a CBI, use cepstral and
if you don't like it, recreate the wav files it plays (The English language
is only based on about 1700 sounds).  Cepstral is your choice if your IVR is
going to be asterisk interlaced since all asterisk voices are Cepstral
Allison out of the can.

[asterisk-users] Need help for transfer

2008-12-02 Thread Max Alex
Hi All,
I need to stop the transfer feature on particular sip user.
I am using linksys phone and it has set the forwarding enable to another
user.
I have three users 2101, 2102, 2103.
2102 is registered in linksys phone with forwarding enable to 2103.
But is there any procedure in asterisk that we can not allow 2102 not to
forward on 2103.
and also i want to prevent the SIP/2.0 302 Moved Temporarily.
please advice me that how can we set the user for not to forward or transfer
on 2103.
i have tested with allowtransfer=no in sip.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks,

 As to the idea of piping to a deamon via socket or dbus: how would

I have implemented something similar with the Dial command. We had a
customer that required real-time call control where every 60s a new
request had to be made to reserve quota to allow the call to continue.
Part of that involved sending a Curl request from app_dial.c as soon
as the call answered and as soon as the call hungup. It works well and
is loosely coupled with Asterisk so that in the worst case the Curl
request times out after 2s and Asterisk could take alternative action
if necessary.

A nice side effect of this approach is that it's possible to get a
realtime display of calls in progress from the database rather than
having to use MAPI.

Ultimatley I think CEL is going to be the approach for tracking call
flow. Hopefully the CEL hooks will be two way so I don't have to keep
updating my real-time call control patch for each version of Asterisk
:-(.

Greyman.

Re: [asterisk-users] cepstral vs festival

2008-12-02 Thread Erik (Caneris)
Festival sucks. Cepstral sucks less. The End.

In my experience, it depends on the specific app, who's paying, and who's going 
to be the victim, err...user listening to it. This is the difference between 
domain/context specific phrases/words to pronounce vs. general stuff, a client 
on a tight budget or not, the users being internal vs. customers/public, and so 
on.

Cepstral is a $30 TTS engine. It's not too bad, but you'll find mostly things 
like Realspeak deployed in large scale professional deployments, such as 
those used by the big boys, telcos/banks/airlines. We deployed Cepstral 
recently for a client, for a phone-in service used by the general public, and I 
can tell you that there was quite a bit of work in teaching it with SSML how 
to pronounce stuff.

Again, it really depends on your specific situation. You should definitely try 
out those two at least and also ensure that the client/stakeholders are aware 
of limitations. There's a certain expectation of it will speak perfectly 
these days, followed by disappointment and blame when reality hits them.

[asterisk-users] Log file warnings from chan_sip in build_reply_digest

2008-12-02 Thread Tod Fitch

Using Asterisk 1.4.21.2 I am seeing pairs of warning logs of the form:

asterisk[1432]: WARNING[1432]: chan_sip.c:11629 in  
build_reply_digest: use realm [x] from peer [x][x]


These occur once an hour and the x matches the account name for my  
ITSP. My sip.conf setup for this account is a block copy from an older  
one that gave no warnings on my old Asterisk v1.2 setup:



[general]
register = x:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[authentication]
auth = x:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[itsp]
context=default
type=friend
username=x
user=x
host=proxy.itsp.net
secret=secret
insecure=very
accountcode=ITSP
amaflags=billing



Calls in and out work fine, but I would like to to have a warning free  
error log if possible.


It looks to me from http://www.asterisk.org/doxygen/1.4/chan__sip_8c.html#12860c93a5a453831f5cf15f747fb9fa 
 that this message might be generated anytime you are dealing with an  
authenticated peer. If so, then this might be a normal but very  
annoying message.


But on the chance that an error on my configuration, I'd like to  
squelch it. Any suggestions?


Thanks!

Way back in the day, festival was awful and Cepstral as almost acceptable.

Now, especially with their Allison font, Cepstral is good enough than you 
can't always tell the difference -- even without using their markup 
language. The fit with the live Allison's prompts included with 
Asterisk is great.

It's fantastic for demos. You can refine the wording of your prompts 
before committing to live talent. You may decide that the tts prompts 
are good enough.

I invoke swift (Cepstral's command line tts tool) to create my prompts 
from my makefile so it's easy to make changes and everything is 
documented.

 Everyone--

 I've just made some major changes to the CDRfix2.rfc.txt
 file in http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/murf/RFCs
 to accommodate the Leg approach instead of a
 channel-based approach.


 Hi murf,

 I've got a couple of points (as always) from the new design.

 First one would be the generation of CDRs when putting a call on hold.
 I don't think that should occur. When a call is put on hold Asterisk
 never changes the endpoints of a call all it does is possibly change
 the media to one or both of the call ends. CDRs are about call
 endpoints not about media transitions. In SIP terms putting a call on
 hold is no different to changing codecs both operations are re-INVITES
 and are irrelevant as far as CDRs and billing go.

While I agree with your reasoning, I really like the idea of the CDR  
showing HOLD states.  It allows me to generate a report on how often  
people are on hold.  If I see that the incoming calls to my  
receptionist spend 15% of the time on hold, that means something to  
me.  If someone doesn't care to know the hold states, they (or their  
script) can just ignore the HOLD CDR records.  I don't see that it  
would impact any final numbers to just skip them, you still get the  
total call duration between point A and point B.

Daniel

 Regards,

 Greyman.

I've never been able to find a way. Any attempt I made either put the 
existing call on hold to auto-answer the page or the page just rang at 
the phone and then caused other issues.

I'm not sure you'll have any luck with other SIP phones either. What 
you're asking it to do is accept two simultaneous calls but put each 
call on a different listening device (handset/speakerphone in this case).

The closest you might get is to rig a dialplan that would use chanspy in 
whisper mode to play the page through the current audio device if the 
phone is busy. I don't know how to go about doing that however.

Re: [asterisk-users] Paging, Polycom and whispers

2008-12-02 Thread Danny Nicholas
You can send an IM to the phone with a text message.  Assuming that the
phone has more than 1 line and at least one is open, the call should go
through without effecting the existing call.  To do this from the dialplan,
you could set up something like this:

Exten = 411,1,Dial(SIP/100,1)
Exten = Sendtext(You have a call on park 701)
Exten - hangup(}

This also assumes that the polycom has presence enabled.

[asterisk-users] Problem with Bridge Application

2008-12-02 Thread Tobias Wolf
Hi,

i am running Asterisk 1.6.0-beta4 and i have some trouble with the 
Bridge-Application.

Here is what i want to do:
1) Caller A calls an extension and is connected to an AGI-Script.
2) Doing stuff and originating a second call per Manager Interface
3) Call will be set to an extension with MusicOnHold
4) Caller A hears MusicOnHold
5) Meanwhile, the second call is established and is also connected to an 
AGI Script
6) Doing stuff
7) Since we have transported the channel name of the first call to the 
agi script we can execute the Bridge Application in order to bridge the 
two channels.

After executing the Bridge-Application MusicOnHold is stopped on the 
first call, but the second call in HungUp immediatly.

On the Asterisk CLI i see that the correct channel names are issued.

There seems to an issue with the second call, which is originated by the 
asterisk server.

If i dial the extension manually, i get connected to the agi which 
executes Bridge(correct channel name) and everything works fine.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Tobias

Right after sending the email, the solution came to me. I have fooled 
myself: A ManagerEventListener kicked in an issued an HangUp Action on 
the second channel right after the Bridge ...

The Bridging workes perfectly after fixing the EventListener.

Have a nice day, i will go home and hit myself a little bit ...

 Hello there...
 
 Noticed some strangeness going on with mixmonitor and chanspy, the 
 called (External SIP) party seem to be responding before the calling 
 party (Internal SIP) on call recordings and also when you listen in 
 using chanspy. as far as the agent (calling party) is conserned the 
 conversation is perfectly normal... just not the recordings that are 
 produced, or any spying that's going on at the time.
 
 This is happening on mixmonitor recordings even if you're not listening 
 in on chanspy too.
 
 Any suggestions?
 
I don't have any suggestions, but this is similar to something I am 
experiencing with Chanspy in 1.4.21.1.

If I spy on a call, then progressively throughout the call a delay is 
introduced. By the end of the call I can be listening to sound that is 
10 seconds out of sync. (Then I don't get to hear the end of the call 
when the call is finished).

This also leaves stale channels open. (the entry in show channels 
doesn't go away until the asterisk process is restarted).

I appear to have fixed this issue. If I turn off call recording in queues.conf, 
the bridging succeeds. I did this by commenting monitor-format and

Subject: [asterisk-users] bridging - Didn't get a frame from channel


Hi,
 
 
I am having a difficulty with 
getting two realtime user’s to bridge on answer. I have managed successfully to 
bridge the same two users/channels via the Bridge Manager api command and 
confirm that the two communicate directly bypassing the asterisk server (I 
confirmed this with Wireshark). 
 
 
Does anyone have some ideas? I have 
put some log entries below. 
 
I haven’t attached my dialplan. Some 
behaviours I have discovered are: 1) If user A dials directly to the call 
number 
of user B, bridging works on answer and the failed log entries below don’t 
occur. 2) If user A dials into a queue and waits for User B (who is registered 
in the queue). Then when User B answers, the bridging failures occur as in the 
log entries below.
 
Thank 
you.
 
Tony

  I meant to say illegal copyrighted material.  Also, if they
  are using up hundreds of Internet connections, we can see
  that.  It essentially causes a Denial of Service situation
  for other users on that leg of our wireless network.  The system
  supposedly has rate limiting, but seems to get overloaded when
  someone goes completely nuts with BitTorrent.  We are working
  on ways to limit the number of simultaneous connections.
 
  When we get a copyright infringment notice from our upstream
  provider, we are compelled to reprimand the user.  I don't
  think we have sent a customer to the shower even if they
  had several notices.
 
  Net Neutrality is great in principle.  But ISP's need to
  somehow control those few percentage of users who suck down
  a huge majority of the bandwidth.  It's dollars and cents.
 
  Es tut mir leid für das Durcheinander meine Brüder!
 
 
 
 This is the classic logical fallacy that people seem to perpetuate when
 reporting news about P2P activity.
 
 ISPs oversubscribe. It's a common practice, and reasonably valid. But
 when you oversubscribe, you use a model based on 'projected' use of the
 available circuits and bandwidth. If you have a user who pays for a
 circuit that you've advertised as an X Mb line, and he uses X Mb ALL the
 time, he's using what he's paying for. If you then proceed to tell him
 that he can't do that, you're either wrong or you're not being up front
 enough with your pricing and marketing materials. You can't then proceed
 to blame the customer for use you did not anticipate.
 
 Imagine a farmer who sells tomatoes. He's promised you a bushel, but he
 gets a harvest of only so many. You walk up to the counter just after
 he's sold all of his tomatoes to someone and he tells you Sorry. There
 are no more tomatoes because that customer before you just 'stole' them
 all from you. He's abusing his privileges by buying up my whole crop.
 
 Now whose fault is it that you don't get the tomatoes you want? Is it
 the customer's fault for buying all the tomatoes the farmer sold him? Or
 is it the farmer's fault for selling them?
 
 The same works with the ISP vs P2P argument. If the ISPs were up-front
 about saying that they do not intend for you to actually USE the
 bandwidth you think you're paying for, I would say they had a leg upon
 which to stand. However, hiding this information from the customer and
 then blaming the customer when he does what he believes is well within
 his rights... it may play well in the media, but it's bad for the whole
 system and is incredibly divisive.

Yep.  In our contract we say things like shared, best efforts,
etc.  If you want a dedicated pipe with guaranteed bandwidth, you
gotta pay a hefty price.

If everyone who owns a car drives it at the same time, there's lots of 
traffic. You know who gets blamed? The right people -- the people to 
create the infrastructure. Drivers aren't blamed for driving their cars 
when they want to as long as they do it legally as prescribed by the 
very open and easy to find laws. If everyone who owns a telephone uses 
it at the same time, it's just like the Internet issues. Telephone 
companies also practice oversubscription. But it's clear to everyone 
that it's the phone company that doesn't have the capacity for it... 
people don't blame the customers for using their phone. They pay for it. 
They should be able to use it when they want.

But if everyone uses the Internet access they pay for? Suddenly, they're 
violating a user agreement (usually not a specified one in the case of 
many ISPs) or a usage policy and it's all that crazy P2P to blame. 
They're stealing bandwidth from other users.   Which is absolute 
poppycock. That's a marketing spin on poor infrastructure planning.

 Torrent does not interfere with VOIP on a well-designed network any

 Honestly, hire a competent admin to set up and run your infrastructure.

If we could find one.  We had to completely abandon

Lots of problems.  We keep asking questions--sometimes

   for other users on that leg of our wireless network.  The system
   supposedly has rate limiting, but seems to get overloaded when
   someone goes completely nuts with BitTorrent.  We are working
   on ways to limit the number of simultaneous connections.
  
   When we get a copyright infringment notice from our upstream
   provider, we are compelled to reprimand the user.  I don't
   think we have sent a customer to the shower even if they
   had several notices.
  
   Net Neutrality is great in principle.  But ISP's need to
   somehow control those few percentage of users who suck down
   a huge majority of the bandwidth.  It's dollars and cents.
  
   Es tut mir leid für das Durcheinander meine Brüder!
  
  
  
  This is the classic logical fallacy that people seem to perpetuate when
  reporting news about P2P activity.
  
  ISPs oversubscribe. It's a common practice, and reasonably valid. But
  when you oversubscribe, you use a model based on 'projected' use of the
  available circuits and bandwidth. If you have a user who pays for a
  circuit that you've advertised as an X Mb line, and he uses X Mb ALL the
  time, he's using what he's paying for. If you then proceed to tell him
  that he can't do that, you're either wrong or you're not being up front
  enough with your pricing and marketing materials. You can't then proceed
  to blame the customer for use you did not anticipate.
  
  Imagine a farmer who sells tomatoes. He's promised you a bushel, but he
  gets a harvest of only so many. You walk up to the counter just after
  he's sold all of his tomatoes to someone and he tells you Sorry. There
  are no more tomatoes because that customer before you just 'stole' them
  all from you. He's abusing his privileges by buying up my whole crop.
  
  Now whose fault is it that you don't get the tomatoes you want? Is it
  the customer's fault for buying all the tomatoes the farmer sold him? Or
  is it the farmer's fault for selling them?
  
  The same works with the ISP vs P2P argument. If the ISPs were up-front
  about saying that they do not intend for you to actually USE the
  bandwidth you think you're paying for, I would say they had a leg upon
  which to stand. However, hiding this information from the customer and
  then blaming the customer when he does what he believes is well within
  his rights... it may play well in the media, but it's bad for the whole
  system and is incredibly divisive.

 Yep.  In our contract we say things like shared, best efforts,
 etc.  If you want a dedicated pipe with guaranteed bandwidth, you
 gotta pay a hefty price.


   

Then I applaud you for doing something most ISPs do not do -- being a 
LITTLE more up-front about the realistic limitations of the service.

ISPs tend to promise the world to grab users, knowing full well they 
can't deliver. And when the users try and use what they've been 
promised, they're blamed for bringing down the network.  And what's 
worse, this clear spin line is propagated throughout even LARGE media 
organisations as an accepted fact.  P2P Steals Bandwidth.  That's 
reported as a simple and plain fact when, in reality, you can't steal 
what you've been allotted by your ISP. If the ISP said we only have the 
capacity for X users to use their service ALL the time, so users who 
want to pay basic usage and use little can pay this small sum, or users 
who want to get unlimited but very throttled and pay this larger sum, 
it would go a long way toward fostering trust all-round without relying 
on misinformation and vilifying the users who are using what they think 
they're paying for.

Of course, it would be a marketing nightmare, as the other ISPs would 
say, But we have UNLIMITED access at much higher speeds -- clearly 
lying about their capacities for the sake of bamboozling non-tech-savvy 
customers, and then relying on media organisations to propagate their 
disingenuous epithets against the P2P crowd.

Re: [asterisk-users] Parking calls

2008-12-02 Thread Danny Nicholas
This seems to be an AGI/Music on Hold solution to me.  For parking to work,
you would have to know which lot you parked the call in and pick it back up
when done, assuming that another user did not pick it up and that the caller
did not hang up.

From the dialplan, you would call an AGI.  The AGI would do something like
this:
print STDOUT EXEC background /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/wait-moment \n
system(program2.agi )
exit;

program 2 would run while the sound played.

Hi,

 

I need to run ztdummy for Paging, but now that this is all become dahdi I
don`t really know where to start.  I did build dahdi before building
asterisk, but that`s it.

 

I find it hard to find any documentation referring to dadhi instead of
zaptel.

 

I have no Digium hardware, but I still need the ztdummy timer (or whatever
it`s called now).  How do I get myself going?

Re: [asterisk-users] cepstral vs festival

2008-12-02 Thread John Todd

On Dec 2, 2008, at 9:41 AM, Erik (Caneris) wrote:

 Festival sucks. Cepstral sucks less. The End.

 In my experience, it depends on the specific app, who's paying, and  
 who's going to be the victim, err...user listening to it. This is  
 the difference between domain/context specific phrases/words to  
 pronounce vs. general stuff, a client on a tight budget or not, the  
 users being internal vs. customers/public, and so on.

 Cepstral is a $30 TTS engine. It's not too bad, but you'll find  
 mostly things like Realspeak deployed in large scale professional  
 deployments, such as those used by the big boys, telcos/banks/ 
 airlines. We deployed Cepstral recently for a client, for a phone-in  
 service used by the general public, and I can tell you that there  
 was quite a bit of work in teaching it with SSML how to pronounce  
 stuff.

 Again, it really depends on your specific situation. You should  
 definitely try out those two at least and also ensure that the  
 client/stakeholders are aware of limitations. There's a certain  
 expectation of it will speak perfectly these days, followed by  
 disappointment and blame when reality hits them.

Erik -
   Have you found RealSpeak to be worth the cost?  Can Cepstral, with  
the hourly $ spent on tuning, be made to be a reasonable substitute?   
It's been a while since I did a head-to-head comparison between  
Cepstral and (anything else) so I did a quick demo of the RealSpeak  
Host-based telecom app:

   http://www.nuance.com/realspeak/demo/  (contact data required)

and the Cepstral demo:

   http://www.cepstral.com/demos/

I used the Jill (default - 8khz) for RealSpeak and Allison  
(default) for the tests, and played back the same phrase:

   Congratulations. You have successfully installed and executed the  
Asterisk open source PBX.

My results: The RealSpeak sample was more clear than the Cepstral.   
But by how much?  I should probably test with more than just that one  
phrase, but I can't say I'd prefer RealSpeak significantly over  
Cepstral in this extremely limited case.  Does RealSpeak get better  
long-term test results and comprehension/retention?  I know that  
Cepstral is $50/port - the RealSpeak pricing is un-findable, which  
tells me that it's significantly higher than Cepstral.  (Personal  
peeve: at least put your list pricing on the website! grumble)

That being said, I'd really be interested in hearing if anyone has  
done a RealSpeak-to-Asterisk conduit.  I wasn't able to quickly  
uncover how they interact with third-party systems - is it VoIP?  A C  
library?  Some sort of HTTP socket?  The more methods we can get  
working with Asterisk, the better, because not every implementation of  
a voice system has the same requirements...

Re: [asterisk-users] Dahdi and ztdummy

2008-12-02 Thread Joseph L. Casale
I did build dahdi before building asterisk, but that`s it.

No problem. But what steps did you use? Did you edit *any* dahdi related 
configs? See the voip-info url below.

I find it hard to find any documentation referring to dadhi instead of zaptel.

:) Yeah, it's not the most documented aspect of Asterisk, but there is enough 
for your need...

I have no Digium hardware, but I still need the ztdummy timer (or whatever 
it`s called now).  How do I get myself going?

Well you need to check the README, for your application it has all you need to 
know:
http://svn.digium.com/svn/dahdi/linux/tags/2.0.0/README

Installation

Note: If using `sudo` to build/install, you may need to add /sbin to your PATH.

  make
  make install

Note that you'll need the utilities provided in the package dahdi-tools
to configure DAHDI devices on your system.

At the bottom of that file, it points you to a source for making the transition 
when reading older docs:
http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/DAHDI

I suggest you pull in dahdi-linux-complate, run #make, #make install, #make 
config, then #chkconfig dahdi on (or your distro equiv) and the bare configs
that get installed will allow all modules to load, see that there is no 
hardware and fall back to dahdi_dummy.

Do an lsmod and look for something like so:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lsmod | grep dahdi
dahdi_dummy38984  0
dahdi 231760  9 
dahdi_dummy,xpp,wctdm,wcfxo,wctdm24xxp,wcte11xp,wct1xxp,wcte12xp,wct4xxp
crc_ccitt  35265  1 dahdi

Also,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /proc/dahdi/1
Span 1: DAHDI_DUMMY/1 DAHDI_DUMMY/1 (source: RTC) 1 (MASTER)

Note that UPGRADE.txt suggests:
http://svn.digium.com/svn/dahdi/linux/tags/2.0.0/UPGRADE.txt
* This package no longer includes the 'menuselect' utility for
  choosing which modules to build; all modules that can be built are
  built automatically.


HTH,

This may not be a perfectly fair comparison.  Looks like you're 
comparing the RealSpeak 8khz voice to the Cepstral default Allison which 
is NOT 8khz.  If you look on the Cepstral site you'll see Desktop 
Voices and Telephony Voices.  The Cepstral Telephony voices are 8khz, 
and I suspect their quality is on par with RealSpeak.  I recently 
licensed the Allison-8Khz voice for some of the admin functions on my 
companies phone systems where I didn't want to record prompts and Flite 
was too robotic sounding.  The Allison-8khz voice is virtually 
indistinguishable from the pre-recorded Allison prompts, except for 
maybe some minor differences in inflection.  I was thoroughly impressed 
with the quality though.  For the most part it sounds like you've hired 
Allison to record custom prompts.  The Allison Desktop voice is OK, but 
sounds sort of like Allison is taking through a spinning fan blade.

When you're doing TTS comparisons be sure you're comparing apples to 
apples and not peaches to apricots.

Well that probably explains it, because there is no such file.  But as I am
not a linux expert (comfortable linux user at best), I am not sur where to
go next.

there is any card?
you musnt  load any module that is not going to be used.
you can get some errores if the card is misconfigured
trai dahdi_cfg -vvv you will get some idea of the problem

2008/12/2 Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I guess my question is more basic than that: I have two brand new 1.4.22
systems, one with DAHDI apparently running well (dahdi start looks god)
running well with Paging, and the other with FATAL errors modules cannot be
found and paging not working.

I seem to remember installing both Asterisks the same way. Where should I be
looking?

DAHDI has 'dahdi_dummy' in place of ztdummy. You should be able to use it
exactly the same way that you used ztdummy.

Re: [asterisk-users] Parking calls

2008-12-02 Thread Sebastian
I found other solution, I can use cannel local to dial to an extension with
m parameter, then I can put Ringing as the first thing to do that will
follow processing the next lines of the dialplan, with the m option MOH will
sound instead of ringing, and I can do the heavy work there till I finish
and do other things with the call.

Thanks!

Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Parking calls

This seems to be an AGI/Music on Hold solution to me.  For parking to work,
you would have to know which lot you parked the call in and pick it back up
when done, assuming that another user did not pick it up and that the caller
did not hang up.

From the dialplan, you would call an AGI.  The AGI would do something like
this:
print STDOUT EXEC background /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/wait-moment \n
system(program2.agi )
exit;

program 2 would run while the sound played.

 Hi,
 
  
 
 How can I park a call from dialplan and get going??
 
  
 
 Example:
 
  
 
  
 
 1.   Answer
 
 2.   While follow = false
 
 3.   ParkCall
 
 4.   Checksomthing à follow = true
 
 5.   Endwhile
 
 6.   UnParkCall
 
 7.   Go on…..
 
  
 
 The idea is let the call waiting while I do some things on the dialplan,
is
 it possible?? Maybe is not parking the solution??

I did build dahdi before building asterisk, but that`s it.

No problem. But what steps did you use? Did you edit *any* dahdi related
configs? See the voip-info url below.

I find it hard to find any documentation referring to dadhi instead of

Well you need to check the README, for your application it has all you need
to know:
http://svn.digium.com/svn/dahdi/linux/tags/2.0.0/README

Installation

Note: If using `sudo` to build/install, you may need to add /sbin to your
PATH.

  make
  make install

Note that you'll need the utilities provided in the package dahdi-tools
to configure DAHDI devices on your system.

At the bottom of that file, it points you to a source for making the
transition when reading older docs:
http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/DAHDI

I suggest you pull in dahdi-linux-complate, run #make, #make install, #make
config, then #chkconfig dahdi on (or your distro equiv) and the bare configs
that get installed will allow all modules to load, see that there is no
hardware and fall back to dahdi_dummy.

Do an lsmod and look for something like so:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lsmod | grep dahdi
dahdi_dummy38984  0
dahdi 231760  9
dahdi_dummy,xpp,wctdm,wcfxo,wctdm24xxp,wcte11xp,wct1xxp,wcte12xp,wct4xxp
crc_ccitt  35265  1 dahdi

Also,

Note that UPGRADE.txt suggests:

* This package no longer includes the 'menuselect' utility for
  choosing which modules to build; all modules that can be built are

  Yes, just like the airlines need to somehow control those users who
  keep showing up to the flight they booked, every single time! It's
  impossible to do overbooking with customers like that, so we need to
  find ways of punishing them.

What happens if everyone who owns a car drives
it at the same time?  Owns a telephone and
uses it at the same time?

As far as I remember the very first service to offer flat rate was 
BIX. They very carefully figured out what it would cost to insure a 
fair profit, and it was a big hit till a few people figured out that 
they could use private chats as a network pipe and stay on 24/7 using 
some mysterious protocol. In the end, that was some of what killed 
the service and there was nothing to be done about it.

For most of us, well for me anyway, I like the fat pipe I have for 
the 1% of the time I use it and I expect that as a residential user 
Time Warner sell me that pipe expecting me to use it about that much, 
maybe a bit more if I had teenage kids. I'm sure in the fine print it 
says I can't host a web server though I'd guess they'd not complain 
if it didn't get much traffic. I've considered a T1 so I'd be 
guaranteed the throughput so my phones would always work, but that 
costs 10 times as much and has less promised speed than my cable modem.

So personally I consider that if I was to try and use my current 
internet connection to host a torrent site and it tried to use 100% 
of the promised capacity all the time that I'd get cut off.  The same 
as most of the unlimited phone service says in fine print up to 
2000 minutes/month or some such limit.

If I could get the same plan for my internet as I get for my phones, 
a few dollars a month plus a bit per minute(megabyte), I'd be all 
over it, but even better, then the provider wouldn't have to care as 
they'd be making a fair profit no matter what the user did.

probably when you installed dahdi you made make config in only one pc.

  Sorry, that worked, I just removed all modules from the modules file in

 But that doesn`t explain why my other card-free PC is working perfectly

 Thanks though, that saved my behind.  But an explanation, if an easy one

 I did build dahdi before building asterisk, but that`s it.

 No problem. But what steps did you use? Did you edit *any* dahdi related

 I find it hard to find any documentation referring to dadhi instead of
 zaptel.

 I have no Digium hardware, but I still need the ztdummy timer (or whatever

 Well you need to check the README, for your application it has all you need
 to know:
 http://svn.digium.com/svn/dahdi/linux/tags/2.0.0/README

 Installation
 
 Note: If using `sudo` to build/install, you may need to add /sbin to your
 PATH.

  make
  make install

 Note that you'll need the utilities provided in the package dahdi-tools
 to configure DAHDI devices on your system.

 At the bottom of that file, it points you to a source for making the
 transition when reading older docs:
 http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/DAHDI

 I suggest you pull in dahdi-linux-complate, run #make, #make install, #make
 config, then #chkconfig dahdi on (or your distro equiv) and the bare
 configs
 that get installed will allow all modules to load, see that there is no
 hardware and fall back to dahdi_dummy.

 Do an lsmod and look for something like so:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lsmod | grep dahdi
 dahdi_dummy38984  0
 dahdi 231760  9
 dahdi_dummy,xpp,wctdm,wcfxo,wctdm24xxp,wcte11xp,wct1xxp,wcte12xp,wct4xxp

Re: [asterisk-users] GSM gateways - which one ?

2008-12-02 Thread hakem Ta
Hello Philipp,

All what you says was true and I am first to witness it. Ecotel VoIP was a
new product at that time needed some time like wine to become good

1-) Files did not cleanup correctly ;
2-) Lot of erratic issues that we have also greyed hair with;
3-) Stability issues, ...etc;

When I gave the Vierling Ecotel SIP-GSM gateway a try (years
ago) it was a nightmare.
There was an IP address printed on a sticker on the device -
didn't work. And the Ecotel didn't ask my DHCP server for an
address either.

(HT:) Ecotel VOIP allows USB connectivity first. Through USB cable, you can
assign to it IP address. New models allow also GSM calls remotely;

I used nmap to scan my net for the device. Found
it but: no telnet, no web GUI, nothing.
(HT): There is Service Gear GUI application that you can download.

When my hair started to turn gray I found out that it came with
a MS-Windows-only configuration tool. Great! :-(

(HT): Indeed. Although it is linux based box, config through GUI is windows
based. It handles sim rotation and advanced sim management scenarii;


And - guess what - that tool managed to break almost every human
interface guideline.

(HT): I hope you did not throw your box ! In case not, you can try it and I
can help you make it work (albeit today is stable that we use in
production);

However when you finally have the thing up and running it works.
And maybe it's all better now.

(HT): Indeed. Despite other products we have tried on the market  protech
and many other products (voiceblue of 2N), Ecotel VoIP can play VoIP, ISDN,
GSM (CDMA ) + sip proxy (SER based). It can work in NAT with very advanced
sim rotation capabilities (if need be to use lot of sims for free packages
or so). It has advanced logging  (you can trace SER and also GSM AT
commands). These make this product not in same range oas protech and other
ones alike

  Philipp Kempgen

Hakem,

 My results: The RealSpeak sample was more clear than the Cepstral.   
 But by how much?  I should probably test with more than just that one  
 phrase, but I can't say I'd prefer RealSpeak significantly over  
 Cepstral in this extremely limited case.  Does RealSpeak get better  
 long-term test results and comprehension/retention?  I know that  
 Cepstral is $50/port - the RealSpeak pricing is un-findable, which  
 tells me that it's significantly higher than Cepstral.  (Personal  
 peeve: at least put your list pricing on the website! grumble)

For French language, I find the quality of RealSpeak to be very good.
Festival was unusable (for French); I tried Cepstral but was deceived.
The price of RealSpeak is not far from an order of magnitude higher
compared to Cepstral.

 
 That being said, I'd really be interested in hearing if anyone has  
 done a RealSpeak-to-Asterisk conduit.  I wasn't able to quickly  
 uncover how they interact with third-party systems - is it VoIP?  A C  
 library?  Some sort of HTTP socket?  The more methods we can get  
 working with Asterisk, the better, because not every implementation of  
 a voice system has the same requirements...

That's a C library. I bought RealSpeak SDK, and developed app_realspeak
for Asterisk (1.2, then ported to 1.4). I've been using it since 2005
for my IVR projects, including telcos/banks/airlines :)

You'll be pushing to find something even close to QueueMetrics' quality
available in open source.  The closest I'm aware of is Vicidial, though
if you only want a call centre statistics package, Vicidial doesn't
really meet the requirements since it's focus is on being a predictive
dialler.

There are a couple of unfinished, unpolished packages that are around
that don't even come /close/ to what is available through QueueMetrics.

Re: [asterisk-users] cepstral vs festival

2008-12-02 Thread Erik (Caneris)

 Erik -
Have you found RealSpeak to be worth the cost?

Actually my last note was probably a bit misleading because in the particular 
cases I mentioned RealSpeak, the platform wasn't Asterisk and Cepstral wasn't 
even on the radar.

 Can Cepstral, with
 the hourly $ spent on tuning, be made to be a reasonable substitute?
Nuance would say no :)
I'd say maybe. Call up +14164854854, it's a recent project we did for a 
client using Asterisk, Cepstral, and a lot of custom code. It's a free phone-in 
service that allows folks to get local traffic, weather, news, commuter 
transit, border crossing wait times, and more. There's obviously quite a bit of 
domain-specific, dynamic, constantly changing text, so this is certainly an 
example of pushing it to the max. Just think of all the street names it has the 
potential to mispronounce.
It's a work in progress, but it's very promising. Definitely an example of a 
lot of hourly $ spent on tuning as you put it.

 My results: The RealSpeak sample was more clear than the Cepstral.
Depends on what you mean by more clear. As Brent Davidson mentions, make sure 
you're comparing 8khz to 8khz, or similar. If you mean it pronounces things 
better, then I agree.

 That being said, I'd really be interested in hearing if anyone has
 done a RealSpeak-to-Asterisk conduit.  I wasn't able to quickly
 uncover how they interact with third-party systems - is it VoIP?  A C
 library?  Some sort of HTTP socket?  The more methods we can get
 working with Asterisk, the better, because not every implementation of
 a voice system has the same requirements...

MRCP is the standard for interfacing with ASR and TTS engines (including 
RealSpeak) in other platforms. Brief Googling reveals a previous flame war on 
asterisk-dev regarding MRCP. I have no idea if it's implemented in Asterisk now.

 HTH,
 jlc


From someone also discovering how to install and configure dahdi :

1. Is it normal to see :
# lsmod
Module  Size  Used by
dahdi_dummy 3236  0

Shouldn't it be used by asterisk or is this 0 value meaning something
specific ?

2. How can you check dahdi is running ?
Here, ps aux | grep dahdi  replies grep dahdi.

Cheers

Hello

I asked the same thing some time ago, but nobody answered.
I founded some workaround.

Use this in your dialplan:
exten = _7.,1,SET(GLOBAL(PICKUPMARK)=${EXTEN:1})
exten = _7.,n,Pickup(${EXTEN:[EMAIL PROTECTED])

This worked for me.

The problem is that IAX2 does not seem to support call pickup.

hi
I'm using only IAX extensions and inserted callgroup=1 and callpickup=1 
for all IAX extensions in iax.conf. Didn't works for while.

thanks

I think it doesn't work across channel types.
So it works (if I recall correctly) in IAX or in SIP or in ZAP,
but not in  mixture.

I think that if you have a Dial() that rings several extens,
then any of the technologies involved can pickup with *8

So if you have Dial(IAX/fredSIP/billzap/mark)
then someone in the same group as fred can pickup with IAX
and someone in the same group as bill can pickup with SIP
etc.

So it's an asterisk thing, not an IAX thing per-se.

Tim.

P.S.
(you could try putting in a dummy 'fred' entry into Dial and iax.conf.)

hi

thanks Luis , but doesn't work.
For SIP extensions works well *8, but for IAX a tried *8 and ** + iax 
extension and didn't works

Try with ** + iax extension

Hi

Somebody knows if pickup call works with IAX2?
I enable *8 in features.conf, but doesn't works with IAX2 extensions.
Any idea?

thanks

 Well that probably explains it, because there is no such file.  But as I am
 not a linux expert (comfortable linux user at best), I am not sur where to
 go next.  

This probably means that dahdi is not loaded.

ls /proc/dahdi

ls /sys/class/dahdi

lsmod | grep ^dahdi
