[asterisk-users] [Dahdi 2.4.0] Flash() hangs up

2011-02-27 Thread Gilles
Hello

I need Asterisk (1.4.39.2) to simulate a flash hook (ie. hitting the
R key on European handsets) so I can put a call on hold, dial a
second number, and set up a conference call.

By default, linux/include/dahdi/kernel.h sets the flashtime to 750ms,
which appears to be too long for European telcos, as they seem to
expect a line cut of about 100ms.

After editing the DAHDI_DEFAULT_FLASHTIME accordingly, I
recompiled/upgraded Dahdi, and ran the script, but Flash() still hangs
up the call:

===
[from_fxo]
exten = s,1,Wait(2)
exten = s,n,Set(GLOBAL(CID)=${CALLERID(num)})
exten = s,n,Hangup()

exten = h,1,system(/var/tmp/test10.lua ${CID})

[callback]
exten = start,1,NoOp(In callback, CID is ${CID})
;how to wait until remote phone picked up?
exten = start,n,Wait(5)
exten = start,n,Answer()
exten = start,n,Playback(please-wait)

;HERE Dahdi hangs up instead of getting a dialtone
exten = start,n,Flash()
exten = start,n,Dial(Dahdi/1/{GSM})
exten = start,n,Wait(5)

exten = start,n,Hangup()

;0 - Failed (not busy or congested)
;1 - Hung up
;3 - Ring timeout
;5 - Busy
;8 - Congestion
exten = failed,1,NoOp(Reason call failed is ${REASON})
===

Has someone successfully gotten Asterisk/Dahdi to use two-way calling?
Should I use another function than Flash()?

Thank you.

AFAIK, the issue here is not Skype or Gtalk.  The Asterisk client isn't
really designed to easily transport messages during the call or otherwise.

I am assuming that goes the same for Gtalk chat messages too?

 

Or has nobody played with that?

There is no debug appears,

Even I set core set verbose to 9

And skype set debug on

And in the extensions.conf I used

[Account]

exten = s,1,Set(message=${SKYPE_CHAT_RECEIVE(k_chehab,fakhourypbx,30)})

exten = s,n,NoOp(Received message: ${message})

 

The dialplan application is only for receiving chat messages during an
actual call. If you want to receive messages from outside of a call, you
will have to use the manager interface and look for SkyeChatMessage events.

Re: [asterisk-users] Need to buy the Digium card, to confirm

The X1 card should seat in the X4 or X8 slots. Check out:

Hi All;

My server and its slots written in it the following so I need to know
which card to order it (I need a card supporting 2 E1s):

PCIE_G2_X4
PCIE_G2_X8

Actually I do not know what is meaning by G2.

OK I tried to buy directly from the below link but I found it is
mentioned that it is x1 and not x4 or x8 so how can I get x4 or x8?

The link:

http://store.digium.com/productview.php?product_code=TE220B

Description for the product:
Two (2) span digital T1/E1/J1/PRI PCI-Express x1 card

So please advise what do to?
Regards
Bilal

[asterisk-users] Using voice modem as poor man's FXO in Asterisk 1.8

2011-02-27 Thread Stuart Longland
Hi all,

I've tried researching this, and so far, have struggled to find any
contemporary information on the issue, so I do apologise if asking this
irritates people who have answered this before.

I have managed to set up Asterisk 1.8 on the web server here.  I have
two softphones (Ekiga) able to communicate with it.  So far so good. 
I'm now curious to see if I can link it with the PSTN phone line here.

The web server in question is an Intel Atom system with a Mini-ITX
motherboard.  Its one and only PCI slot is occupied by a PCI ethernet
card.  So FXO card is not an option even if it were within budget.

My options therefore look to be an external FXO device of some
description (Ethernet or USB), or to use a voice modem.  I fear external
FXOs are going to be even more expensive than internal FXO cards.

Now, I have here an old Maestro JetStream 56k modem here that does
amongst other things, voice comms, and I have used it in the past as a
telephone by plugging a headset into the front of it (and it was full
duplex too if I recall correctly).  I have also used it as an answering
machine, with the audio being transmitted digitally over the RS232
link.  So that to me suggests it is possible to get audio in to and out
of the modem, either via a sound card or using the serial port.  The web
server has a sound card too (hard not to buy a motherboard with one
these days).

Apart from the lack of any hardware signal processing, it seems all the
components are there.  The server isn't particularly heavily loaded, and
thus I see no reason why the machine wouldn't theoretically be able to
handle the DSP in software … I've seen lesser hardware do quite
sophisticated DSP in real-time.

Now, I've hunted high and low for where this is configured.  Some
mailing list threads point me to the nonexistant
/etc/asterisk/modems.conf.  One points me to /etc/asterisk/phone.conf,
but nothing there jumps out at me as being an obvious means for
configuring a modem — nor can I find where it's documented on the
Asterisk wiki.

Where abouts should I look for documentation on configuring these modules?

An external modem is a non-starter. If you have infinite time and your 
time is worth US$0 and you're doing it just for the thrill of it -- maybe.


Ward Mundy  crew seem to think this kit (http://nerdvittles.com/?p=720) 
is pretty hot stuff. Sangoma makes a 2 FXO port USB thingy that looks 
interesting.

Re: [asterisk-users] Using voice modem as poor man's FXO in Asterisk 1.8

2011-02-27 Thread asterisk asterisk
HI,

My understanding is that the modem won't work. I believe asterisk does not
support.

I wonder why you do not have the built in ethernet in your motherboard. You
can spare your PCI slot for a proper FXO card and use USB-to-ethernet

For a PCI FXO card, the cheapest will be X100 but be aware of the quality
and compatibility. Or a better choice will be  TDM400

Other alternative:
Get a USB-FXO from Sangoma, expensive
Get a working SPA3000 as FXO --- cheapest I believe
Get a OBi100, out of stock at the moment. I also want to try

Hope this is of help to you

CK
