Re: [asterisk-users] SLA Appearance between 2 Cisco 7960's (SIP)
Speaking as someone who did an installation with quite a few Cisco phones running sip, they do not support hinting at all with the sip firmware. The latest version of the Cisco phones (79x1) are primarily sip phones, however with the CCM specific extensions, they tend to be fairly difficult to get to work with asterisk. I wouldn't recommend banging your head on the wall trying, took a while for the bump on my head to go away. :) Anyone trying to get this to work would be better off getting a phone that does support hinting, and has plenty of documentation on how to do it (Polycom, Aastra, SNOM, etc).

Re: [asterisk-users] 2 devices using same sip account
We use this function regularly (you should see my phone's dialstring...). If one phone responds that it's unavailable, the rest of the phones will still ring through. In the event that none of the other phones are answered, the extension is considered unanswered, so depending on how you program your dialplan, the call will go to the unavailable voicemail. If you watch the CLI in this situation, you'll see Asterisk try all the devices in the group at the same time, and it'll just bypass any devices that are unavailable. Also, the problem with multiple phones registering with Asterisk at the same name is that Asterisk only stores the information about the device once, and is overwritten with each subsequent register. If you have a softphone and a hardphone both registered, whichever one has a faster re-register rate will win out over the slower one. The only way around this is through the call groups, as several people have stated.

We're using vitelity, not in large scale call center type numbers, but any long distance numbers we dial go out their system.

Re: [asterisk-users] Load balance Asterisk servers?
Incorrect :) IAX2 most definitely does support regcontext. Also, I think what he means is the phone specific information must be exactly the same from system to system or the failover won't be as seamless as you expect. A lot of phones support some sort of SRV records, so in the event of a failure, the phones will automatically find the next available server. The other option there is to set up an HA environment so the failover is even transparent to the phones, they just start talking to the new IP address immediately. Another thought, in any failover situation, if you have any sort of automated failover, you must make sure phones that need specific features fail to the same server (i.e. hinting and such) as those features don't work cross server.

That is good to know. In the DUNDi scenario, are there any other features that would be affected or become unavailable in the event of a failure? It seems like normal call processing would continue once the client re-registered to a different box, but I haven't tried it yet. I assume one could use DNS-Round-Robin to load balance registrations between the boxes in the cluster, then pull the failed box out of DNS to prevent registration attempts while the box is dead. Is there a better way to do this ??? David ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users The best practice for the failover situation will depend on the phone you're using, and what kind of failover you're looking for. Most *real* phones support SRV records which will contain the list of servers that your phone should talk to. If the phone sees one server down, it automatically jumps to the next available one. You are correct however, that call processing would still work as long as you have the servers configured correctly :) Also, if you configure the phone correctly, you should theoretically be able to not lose any calls in case of failure as well, however you would lose call details records for that call. Douglas Garstang will tell you round-robin won't work, I haven't tested it. Something about random packets going to round-robined server addresses :) The other thing to consider is actual failover ip addresses, where one computer automatically assumes another computer's ip address in the event of failure. The phones would automatically start talking to the new system immediately. -- Aaron Daniel Computer Systems Technician Sam Houston State University [EMAIL PROTECTED] (936) 294-4198 ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

RE: [asterisk-users] DUNDi precache
I still don't see a reason to use it. If you want immediate information about phones even in the event of a catastrophic failure, bypass the cache altogether (that's what we do) and have it do a lookup every time. Also, set your lookup time to an acceptable value in the event that the primary DUNDi servers don't find the phone. I think ours is extremely low since we've only got a small number of servers. From the stats that I got from JR's talk on DUNDi at Astricon, seems to me the overhead of doing the DUNDi lookups are almost nil, so personally I think caching is pointless in a highly available environment. On Thu, 2006-11-09 at 12:19 -0700, Douglas Garstang wrote: I also just realised a distinct advantage of the precache model. Lets say you have a central DUNDi cache server. He has in his cache the knowledge that appearance 2944093 is registered to pbx1 for the next hour. If pbx1 where to crash, then for the next hour, calls to 2944093 would fail. However, in the precache model, when the phone registers to an Asterisk box, the Asterisk box immediately precaches the information to the central DUNDi server, who maintains this information until it's updated. If pbx1 where to crash, and the phone failed over to pbx2, pbx2 would then send updated registration information to the DUNDi precache server, and thus calls would not fail for an hour.

That and Cisco won't give you the time of day if you don't use their stuff ;) We have about 1600 of the Cisco's on campus, and unless you run them on the call manager, you're not gonna have nearly as many features as any other phone that's designed with SIP in mind.

I agree with Lacy. This is nothing more than a troll. The asterisk-users list is a forum for asterisk users to advance their knowledge of asterisk, not constantly rag on asterisk and it's developers. Some of us are actually interested in learning more and helping others understand new concepts. For those of you that think this list is your own personal bitching ground, grow up and have a professional discussion with the person/company you have your beef with. Keep in mind that many new users come here first for advice on how to do stuff, and if they continue to get this stuff in their mailbox, they're going to think EVERYONE in the asterisk community has nothing better to do than whine about who they think is better.

Re: [asterisk-users] Increase VoiceMail Messages Recording Gain - AudioCalls are Ok
I've uploaded a patch to my host, it only does the volgain in int format (we use +7 which seems to work well). We've had no problems with it since we set it up back in February, and everyone seems to love it since nobody's blowing out their speakers anymore lol. The patch we use actually does a number of things. We convert from WAV to mp3 for better client support (i.e. my boss used his pda phone to listen to an mp3 voicemail), and we also change the From field of the email to come from the user leaving the voicemail instead of the server email.

RE: [asterisk-users] Asterisk RT on Disk On Module Performance andDurability
that the SHORTEST expected life of a CF card in their test scenarios was over 70 years! How long is your power supply going to last? Even if the consumer level cards had 1/10 the life expectancy, that is still seven years. I expect to get at least that from my original AstLinux system. It's been two so far, I'll let you know how it is doing in another five years :). JFFS (and similar FSs) are not appropriate for CF cards or DOMs. They are meant to be used directly on flash memory and do their own wear leveling and in some cases, compression. All kinds of commercial devices use JFFS2. If you are using a CF or DOM with Linux, ext2 is the best FS to use. CF cards and DOMs use their own wear leveling, so none is required in the operating system or file system. CF cards and DOMs hide wear leveling from you and expose themselves as an ordinary IDE device. I echo Jeremy's conclusions. With a properly designed operating system, decent flash memory, and a reasonable usage pattern, I can tell you (with a great amount of certainty) that in most situations, CF cards will outlast just about any hard drive (even SCSI) when used 24/7. These days, it really is pretty tough to trash flash. However, if you are running a MySQL cluster or something with several, multi-gigabyte databases, no type of flash memory will last very long! :) To get back to answering your question, I HIGHLY recommend that you avoid MySQL and realtime on your box with a DOM. Nothing against either (MySQL or Realtime), but they will probably make your device more complicated than it needs to be while substantially shortening the life of your DOM. If you absolutely have to use MySQL, you might have better luck using a MySQL storage engine that uses fewer writes than InnoDB, but I am no expert on that. -- Kristian Kielhofner ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- Erick Perez Panama Sistemas Integradores de Telefonia IP y Soluciones Para Centros de Datos Panama, Republica de Panama Cel Panama. +(507) 6694-4780 ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- Aaron Daniel Computer Systems Technician Sam Houston State University [EMAIL PROTECTED] (936) 294-4198 ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

You're digging a little further into it than any standard voicemail system would ever go.

Re: [asterisk-users] Voicemail MWI
For us the voicemail server doesn't have to know what phones are registered where. We have an externnotify script that drops x number of msgx.txt files into the respective voicemail folders after any call that goes through the voicemail server. x in this would be the number of messages. Since our servers are all exactly the same, we just blanket the script across all our call servers, but if you have specific servers where the phones are registered at, you can modify the SIP channel to update the db with server information and have the voicemail server just run the script across servers that that particular phone is currently registered with. The scripts we use are relatively lightweight, but can probably be turned into some sort of listening service to remove some of the ssh overhead required. Not a problem for us, but you might not like it much :) On Fri, 2006-10-06 at 11:49 -0600, Douglas Garstang wrote: I'd like to know if anyone has a suggested fix for this... You have a 'cluster' of Asterisk servers that use DUNDi etc for registration redundancy, finding other phones etc. You have a separate Asterisk box for voicemail. For voicemail deposit/retrieval you trunk the call over to the voicemail server. This all works fine. No issues there. What about MWI though? Your phones register with the cluster, not with the voicemail server, and therefore the voicemail server has no knowledge of where the phones are and therefore cannot send out SIP NOTIFY messages to phones.

This relates a bit to my recent post, asking about servicing multiple lines. Implication is that asterisk can do that, but I am now concerned that there is no uber function that can allow a single person answer any line, for reasons of convenience or design. Problem is, this was understood, rightly or wrongly, to exist, in preliminary inquiries (not here) and is a part of a potential clients desire. Can someone enlighten me? The problem with a BLF (Busy Lamp Field) is that it's hard to find a box with 6,000 buttons on it, as would be required by above university. Asterisk has several methods of picking up remote lines. Group Call Pickup, Directed Call Pickup, and the standard way Asterisk rings multiple extensions at the same time via in the Dial() Line, and BLF If you want the traditional Key System style of BLF, then you need a phone that supports it. The Polycom 601 Sidecar supports it in a limited way, and I've heard that SNOM supports it as well. What SPECIFICALLY are you trying to do that you are unable to do? You are correct, to an extent. We do have extensions that ring multiple phones on campus, however, BLF and SLA don't work in the current 1.2 branch. I know they're doing SLA work in 1.4, so we're hoping that the point is moot by the time it comes out. There are a number of patches that allow the polycoms and aastra's to do directed pickup on a line that's ringing combined with hinting to get the illusion of SLA, however, without extensive testing we haven't had a chance to implement the software. The biggest problem we have with the hinting functions is that you have to have the phones registered to the same server, and with two identical servers that could theoretically serve any phone we have, it's a management nightmare to guarantee that any given phone will be on the same server as any other given phone.

The module code was identical to: http://svn.digium.com/view/asterisk/trunk/codecs/codec_g723_1.c?rev=5869view=markup Also if you want to know if Digium fully complies the the GPL no. They dont. Digium has added a paragraph of text under the symbol ASTERISK_GPL_KEY in include/asterisk/module.h which every Asterisk module must return when a function *key() is called by the module loader.

We also log every call so when someone does dial and hangup, we send Big Eric to their cube to rearrange a few fingers on their dialling hand :-) Most people are going to attempt to dial 911 regardless of where they are, especially if they're in a panic... We use both 911 and 9911 (our nortel expects 9911, but allows 911), which seems to be better for users that aren't used to the dial 9 to get out mentality. 100 accidental calls is worth the 1 time that someone could die because they don't realize that they're supposed to dial 9911 instead. We've actually had on several occasions people in my office dial 911 on accident when dialing something like 91800. and ended up hitting the 1 twice, and usually dispatch just calls back and asks what was up.

Just a thought, but shouldn't the exten = h be priority 1, not priority 6? The h extension is totally separate from the s extension, the server doesn't think it exists because there's no priority 1 for it.

The only information in there is information that asterisk needs to contact phones and such. So, for example, unless you need the ip address listed somewhere else in your database, you can leave it in sipregs. The other thing to watch is that you have to ensure that the resulting view behaves exactly the way that asterisk expects it to, unless you get the join right, you can get duplicate (apparently identical) records back which would confuse asterisk. That's something that you have to be careful about anyhow :) The way I'm looking at it, you can either use a view (we use 3 different tables for actual phone configuration... so a view makes sense).

[Asterisk-Users] Realtime SIP Registrations
Has anyone considered the idea of splitting the sip registration information in a realtime database from the actual configuration of the peers? I mean, instead of having a table full of the configuration information (i.e. name, regexten, secret, etc) and registration information (i.e. ipaddr, fullcontact, etc), you have separate tables with their own information. This way, you can have separate tables with config information, and use a view for the actual compiled configuration, instead of how it is now, where there may be repeating info all over the database.

If anyone's interested, I've just put together a sip realtime patch, figured anyone that uses realtime may want to have a look at it. The patch basically takes the stuff asterisk updates (fullcontact, ipaddr, port, regseconds, and username) out of the sippeers table and puts it in it's own table. For those that are using multiple tables, this allows you to create a view of those tables that munges it together in a manner that makes sense to asterisk, while alleviating some of the management from you, as well as letting you make a table structure that makes sense to you ;) http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=7443 The one on the bugs site is for SVN, but I do have a version that works on 1.2.?

Incorrect. Transfers work fine between multiple asterisk boxes. Round robin DNS won't work at all. Every time you send out a SIP message, your going to be sending it to a different Asterisk box. For example, your initial INVITE will go to asterisk server 1. Asterisk server 1 will then send back a message requesting authorisation. Your phone does another lookup, and gets Asterisk server 2 this time. The phone sends the new INVITE with the auth info to Asterisk server 2. Asterisk server 2 will probably be ok with this, but when it sends a TRYING back to the phone, depending on the phone you are using, everything will fall in a heap on the floor. I know polycoms do. They get this TRYING from an asterisk server they didn't send and they go 'huh?'. This is entirely phone dependant, and usually the phones that fall in a heap (like the phrase much?) also handle secondary server configurations MUCH better than the phones that don't. Polycoms and sipura's handle SRV and backup server settings better than cisco's, but cisco's won't jump from server to server. I'm sure most other stuff will fail too. The Asterisk boxes share no state information. It's all in how you program the dial plan. The main thing that doesn't share state information that may cause problems is hinting.

If a call is sitting on pbx1, and the user transfers a call, if it goes to pbx2, Asterisk will complain that it cannot transfer the call as it doesn't know anything about it Well, I'm not sure what the problem with call transfers is. We have two registration servers, in which the phones can and do register with either server. If one phone makes a call on one server, they can complete the call with anyone else on their server, plus anyone on the other servers. The server just treats the transfer and bridge like any other phone call. If the phone is on another server, it hands off the conversation to that server after the transfer. And I think I'll address your NFS problems. Are you doing that for redundancy's sake or just for MWI? If it's just for MWI, then you might be better off setting up some scripts that drop some msg.txt files in the user's voicemail box on the registration servers. No need to replicate registration to the voicemail server, that's just extra unneeded traffic. Plus, with something like that, you don't have to worry about the voicemail nfs share dying and bringing down the asterisk network. If it's for redundancy, set up another voicemail server or two, and use DRBD or some sort of sync tool between them, with the MWI script and you'll have fixed the redundancy problem. -- Aaron Daniel Computer Systems Technician Sam Houston State University [EMAIL PROTECTED] (936) 294-4198 ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

If that's right, then why use DUNDi for the queues, just set up an extension (i.e. the queue entry point) that goes straight into the queue instead of using DUNDi for it, which adds more logic to something VERY simple. Since the phones are registered to that server, obviously they will drop into the local queue and not some random one. You're making something dynamic that really shouldn't be dynamic at all. When the failover happens, the new primary server will have the queue set up, and anyone calling in will be calling into the queue on that server. Now, if you're calling in from another server, i.e. someone outside calling in, you can then use DUNDi with weights to drop them onto the right server, but that's another story. Finally, in order for the LOCAL server's DUNDi response to show up, you have to add the server to dundi.conf. So, so pbx1 has to be in pbx1's file, just like the other servers do.

If you do a reload pbx_dundi.so, it'll reload the dundi configuration. If you're talking about the strings it returns, if you want to get an immediate result and not use the cache, use something like dundi lookup num bypass. Also, if you have separate entry points for each section of the dundi numbers, you're going to have to have separate users to identify where the call's coming from. If you only use one iax user, you can only use one context. That's like trying to put a phone in two different contexts... where is it supposed to start it's dialing attempts?

That's the benefit of using DUNDILOOKUP to handle it, no more work for you after the initial routing. If that doesn't work for you, program the routes directly into the dialplan instead of using DUNDi, it seems like you'll get better results that way. We did that for a while until we decided to move to DUNDi. Some people will find it more suited to their needs, some won't. -- Aaron Daniel Computer Systems Technician Sam Houston State University [EMAIL PROTECTED] (936) 294-4198 ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Unlock / install of Cisco 7940 IP Phone ?
You have to press settings, then **#, and wait a moment to make sure it unlocks. Then you can configure a tftp server to use. The alternative is to configure your dhcp server with a tftp server. On linux, that would be next-server ip/host in the subnet section. TFTP server on windows.

Re: AW: [Asterisk-Users] Unlock / install of Cisco 7940 IP Phone ?
Here's a suggestion :) Depending on your phone, there's about a thousand different methods to upgrade them. Take a look at this, it explains how to do it depending on model, current firmware version, future firmware version. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps4967/products_upgrade_guides09186a008022a968.html On Wed, 7 Jun 2006, Mateo Meier wrote: Thx guys for the help.

To convert the phone to SIP you have to unlock and set the TFTP server to your TFTP server address as explained below. But... you also need to make sure you have a SIP image in the root directory of your TFTP server and also edit the OS79XX.TXT file to contain only the SIP image name (no .bin or .sbin extension). This should tell the phone what image it should be running and will then start a tftp transaction to download the SIP image. Once the SIP image is loaded on your phone, you will have to reset the TFTP Server addresses again so it can then download the SIP configuration files (SIPdefault.cnf and SIPMAC.cnf) good luck! -- Original message -- From: Aaron Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] You have to press settings, then **#, and wait a moment to make sure it unlocks.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Config Revision Control
While I was playing with svn, it was driving me nuts. It would ALWAYS re-create the current directory, even if I said to check out all files from inside that directory. Means if you went to /etc/asterisk and checked out asterisk, you'd get /etc/asterisk/asterisk. Yuk. Doug.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Config Revision Control
No, if you do an svn co http://svn.server.com/svn/configs/trunk asterisk in /etc, it'll make a folder called asterisk in your /etc directory. Once that's done, any modifications made that are committed to the server can be downloaded into /etc/asterisk by running svn up inside the directory.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Config Revision Control
Read this: http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#repository http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/README That'll link you to the README that comes with subversion, which has a very detailed explanation on how to get a repo set up and running :) If it says anything in there about using trunk, it's just a suggestion.
