[asterisk-users] Sangoma U100
I am having problems trying to get a Sangoma U100 USB FXO adapter working with Asterisk. After all the configuration Asterisk (1.6.2.0-rc2) detects the port and I can even call in without a problem (after making sure no echo canceller is configured for that channel). The problem is that when I try to call out it never works. The channel hangs up immediately. I cannot even use the originate CLI command to call out. Anyone has experience with these adapters? -- Carlos Chavez Director de Tecnología Telecomunicaciones Abiertas de México S.A. de C.V.

Re: [asterisk-users] Setting up skype
Ok. So I bought 2x skpye channels. Doesn't that mean I have 2xg729 as well ? If so, why do I have the problem ? And would this affect local channels as well ? Julian 2009/12/6 Kevin P.

[asterisk-users] Can Asterik act as a SIP Proxy
Hi, I am new to Asterisk. Can you pl clarify me the following basic questions I have: 1. Can I use Asterisk as a SIP Proxy. ( I want it to act as proxy not a B2b/GW) 2. If so, will it act as stateless (or) stateful 3. I did see the website, I could not find the info: is there a documentation which can be a starting point f me to understand how it can be made to use as Proxy serve.and how to use Astrisk. If this is not the forum , pl advice me to the correct forum.

Re: [asterisk-users] G729: TC400B vs Software Encoder
We run asterisk on c2d 2.66GHz so looks like we should be fine with software encoder.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk to Email
How can this scenario be implemented please? THIS IS NOT A SEND TEXT application. A call arrives on the IVR. After hearing several vectors to guide the person through information I want to confirm a transaction via email to his cell phone. Specifically, I want to use his phone number and then append the SMTP suffix from his service provider. Press 1 if you use Verizon, 2 if you use ATT, 3 if you use Sprint, 4 for T-Mobile, etc. And, then send an email to the party. Example 3035551...@tmobile.net Summary 1. Capture the CID number. 2. Prepend his number to his service provider SMTP address 3. Email it to his phone I assume I need to install SendMail and play around with CID stuff.

The clues are in the documentation; SkypeIn and SkypeOut use G.729 for nearly all calls, so handling calls via those paths requires a G.729 transcoder on the system if the target of the call will not also be using G.729.

[asterisk-users] Echo issue
I am having echo issues on our Asterisk box using a PRI circuit. I was using the software echo cancellation and that helped a bit but didn't solve it completely. So I went and bought a Digium echo cancellation module for the TE121 card. That made it even worst, getting more echo on external calls and between internal extension to extension. The echo doesn't happen all the time, but enough to get complaints from our users. Completely fed up with the issue, I removed the module from the card. Can someone guide me on how to fix/tune/address the echo issues.

The TC400 is really only necessary on systems where the transcoding load alone would overtax the CPU. It's really difficult to estimate a good number of where you should start considering the TC400, because there are so many other tasks where the CPU may be required and would affect the overall result, but the number is probably somewhere north of 40 simultaneous calls.

All fixed point G.729 encoders should produce a bit exact output that will match the ITU test vectors.
