Re: [asterisk-users] EVERY toll free number appears to be in e164.org??

2009-07-24 Thread Alex Robar
The way that I understood this to work was that e164.org lists all toll-free
numbers to make it free to call those kinds of numbers (instead of using one
of your own trunks). Since ENUM can provide priorities, if I own a toll-free
and enter it into the system, the route that I specify will be returned with
a lower priority than the default e164.org route. Anyone who doesn't list
their number will have the default e164.org route provided if someone
queries for that number. Perhaps troublesome that the system is opt-out
instead of opt-in, but at least you have the ability to override the
provided route for toll-free numbers that you own. Also, they do list on
their FAQ page that they list routes for toll-free patterns for several
countries (and they state that the call makes the provider money - there is
no mention that e164.org makes money off the call themselves).

Subject: [asterisk-users] EVERY toll free number appears to be in e164.org??

ENUM lookups at e164.org return a IP route for ALL toll-free numbers.

I was surprised to observe that ALL toll-free numbers get a hit at e164.org.

It appears that ALL toll-free prefixes have been delegated, thereby 
publishing an IP route for YOUR TOLL-FREE NUMBERS, my toll-free numbers, and

even toll-free numbers that have not been allocated. :-)   See below

Should I care?  Even though this whole thing doesn't directly cost me 
anything, it seems like bad netizenship to be publishing circuitous routes 
to others' numbers.  Their route may be inferior; less direct (higher 
latency), and may also introduce more transport over best-effort networks 
(artifacts and jitter).

Is this a reasonable thing for e164.org to do?  Based on what I see at 
e164.org, one might make the reasonable assumption that ALL routes are 
published after a token test that the routes are sanctioned by the 'owners'.

Perhaps their test is not perfect test, but you are free to do what you want

with that information.  There is however no indication (that I can find) 
that ENUM lookups for toll-free numbers are actually what I might call 
'bandit routes', leading ITSP's and PBX admins to make routing decisions 
they might not otherwise make.  Perhaps CHASE BANK or MAYO CLINIC should be 
concerned when end-user callers (via their office PBX, or ITSP) unknowingly 
send their media ( secrets) through a stranger's gateway.   Maybe Coca-Cola

should be worried that a poor quality call could be attributed to them,  
their brand.

Am I correct in assuming that this basically a toll-free revenue share model

to fund e164.org??   If so, it seems to me should be disclosed at e164.org, 
perhaps right next to where they ask for donations.  Can anybody speak to 
this?

-Karl

p.s.

for example try:
ast-chi43*CLI !dig 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.6.6.8.1.e164.org ANY

Naturally this number on the PSTN returns a reorder tone.  The e164.org 
route actually rings instead of giving a reorder, answers and plays 'dead 
air' forever if you let it.

All resolve to one of the same three gateways:
tf.voipmich.com
sip.tollfreegateway.com
tollfree.sip-happens.com

What are your trunks like? If there are any analog lines there's the
possibility of crossed lines or interference. Not with digital trunks
though...

Are you able to hear what the third person in the call is saying, or is it

Hi Bruce,

I can't be sure without looking at your dialplan, but based on your
description it looks like you are routing calls out the wrong port. Asterisk
is trying to dial 1-858-530-0400 on port 3 of your Digium card. You've
stated that your POTS line is plugged into port 1, so there's likely an
error in your dial command. Do you have Dial(ZAP/3-1... instead of
Dial(ZAP/1-1... ?

I installed eeeUbuntu ( http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/ ). I followed
instructions on their wiki to create the USB-stick installer from another
Ubuntu PC that I have. It looks like they've made the process even easier
now, with a GUI-based application that will prep a USB stick with any ISO
that you choose. Once you've got Ubuntu running, the 1000 series should have
more than enough horsepower to run any number of great IAX2 softphones. As I
mentioned, I'm running ZoIPer, but it's not the most light or stable
application out there. As David suggested, KIAX2 is pretty good. If SIP
works as an alternative, there's a plethora of other great applications.

Hi Olivier,

What type of handsets are you using in-house? I ask because there are
a bunch of handsets that allow paging/broadcasting through their
speakerphone mechanisms. This could possibly work in your scenario,
even if all handsets don't support paging (it would generally be loud
enough to hear, depending on the size of the office).

 them but VoIP is a very different animal than web hosting - especially
 for the network (obviously).  ServerBeach uses the Peer1 network which
 looks pretty good.  In fact that's how I found out about them in the
 first place.

  Or maybe I can do better than ServerBeach?  Does anyone know of a
 dedicated hosting provider that meets the following specs:

 - Multiple physical datacenters available by request
 - Well peered network with multiple Tier 1's (Level3, ATT, Qwest,
 Verizon Biz, etc)
 - Dedicated servers running Linux (preferably CentOS)

  Ideally I'd like to be at $150/mo or less.  Bandwidth/peering is
 important but transfer isn't really an issue - SIP/RTP is just a bunch
 of small packets! :)  Other hardware specs don't matter much either.
 I'd rather have a Pentium 2 running on an awesome network than have an
 Athlon 5000 with nothing but dirty bandwidth.

  Any ideas?

Re: [asterisk-users] Polycom 501 transfer feature

2008-07-17 Thread Alex Robar
Adam,

We have the exact same issue occurring on one of our networks. I haven't had
time to dive into it much, but here is what I've found out:

Calling from a softphone via IAX2 or SIP, transfers work fine.
Calling from a Polycom 501 outside the network, transfers work fine.
However, the Polycom I used to test outside the network was a Rev. E, the
ones inside the network are Rev. C's, so I'm not sure this is a valid test.

The configs that these phones are using are identical to the configs used by
our other networks, and transfers work fine elsewhere. I haven't had time to
put a Rev. E inside the network and test that, but that's my next step.
Beyond that, it would have to be something with regards to DNS, routing and
how the re-invite works (although the Asterisk full log shows no mention of
that type of problem).

If you find more details or get anywhere close to a resolution, please post
back and let us know.

Re: [asterisk-users] Tests in VMWare

2008-03-30 Thread Alex Robar
If you leave all of the modules enabled, which one does it have a
problem with? You should be able to run asterisk -vc to see where
it stops loading. The last line or so should give you the module that it
tried to load before it failed. Based on the last time I tried to
install under Ubuntu, you're probably failing to load the Zap module.
Since you're in a VM and it's unlikely that you're using Zap for
anything, you can disable chan_zap.so and see if your Asterisk starts
properly then.

 Asterisk fails to start (seg fault). I can't find in any of the other

 therefore crashing the system.

Hi Jeng,

From the Asterisk CLI type stop gracefully and it will do exactly what you
described (stop accepting calls and shut down when all calls have
completed). If you don't want to stop accepting calls, but still want to
stop Asterisk when there are no active calls, you can use stop when
convenient. The same qualifiers (gracefully and when convenient) can be
applied to the restart command.

 When we want to shutdown a production asterisk system,

 no
 more calls being processed. In other words, a shutdown
 command that does the following:

   - block asterisk from receiving/answering all new
 connection requests

   - monitor existing call connections it is currently
 handling

   - when all calls/connections have ended, then
 effect
 the shutdown and stop the asterisk process.

 Is there a way to do this in asterisk now, and how?

 This would be the ultimate graceful shutdown; perfect
 for routine system maintenance tasks on production

pfSense works very well for this. You can use it to setup VLANs (one for
your PCs, the other for your VoIP equipment), and it has a traffic
shaping/queuing mechanism for prioritizing VoIP.

Re: [asterisk-users] State of the Union: Vonage? Skype?

2007-08-15 Thread Alex Robar
Hi Jay,

Skype can be used successfully with the ChanSkype module on supported
platforms (Fedora Core 3, 4 or 5 or Ubuntu 6.04). It's $19USD for a single
personal license, and tends to work quite well. It's not the easiest item to
setup (the OS needs a window manager running on it, and each Skype channel
require it's own user with it's own desktop session running for that user),
but once you get it going I've rarely found it to fail. I used it with the
unlimited outgoing calling to North America from Skype, and it's saved me
quite a bit.

Re: [asterisk-users] les.net losing DID's

2007-08-08 Thread Alex Robar
One of the things that we've done is get a standard PSTN line in place that
rings down to the VoIP lines. In smaller shops there's a single copper line,
in larger shops they might have a T1/PRI. It's obviously more expensive than
pure VoIP lines, but the stability of the number is solid; You know that
number isn't going away. If you have to change the number that your inbound
rings down to because your VoIP DID just disappeared, then so be it. Pay the
fee to your telco and make the change if that happens. But at least you know
that one number you have that you've published everywhere isn't going away
anytime soon.

We originally found our incumbent very resistant to this type of ring
strategy (they didn't want to let the call roll over to a number that wasn't
theirs), so we moved to using CLECs. Recently we've found that the incumbent
has allowed us to do this on certain line types too... So much the better
from a stability perspective.

Jon,

No, not at all - Sorry, that's not what I meant. Indeed, a local extension
would be quite prohibitively expensive.

What we tend to do with people who require out-of-area calling ability is
grab a toll free DID from a bit of a bigger or more stable provider. Here in
Ontario, Canada, we've had great success with Unlimitel for providing toll
free DIDs.

Re: [asterisk-users] Hardware that can ring my phone?

2007-08-01 Thread Alex Robar
Lynn,

What you need is an ATA (analog telephone adapter). The ATA is a SIP or IAX
extension on your Asterisk box, and your standard phone plugs into it.
Asterisk sends the call to the SIP extension (the ATA), and the ATA rings
your phone. On the flip side, your phone dials normally and the ATA
digitizes the data and sends it via SIP to Asterisk for routing. Check out
Digium's IAXy or the GrandStream Budgetone/HandyTone.

GrandCentral isn't about hiding your number, it's about reachability. Grand

And provides a single voicemail box for all of those numbers. As Asterisk

us have got this setup for ourselves already. But for someone with no
telephony experience or equipment, it's a great product to have.

Re: [asterisk-users] AstPligg

2007-06-26 Thread Alex Robar

I don't think anything is _wrong_ with VoIP-Info at all, I just think the
sites serve different purposes. This is all just personal preference, but to
me VoIP-Info does not work that well as a social news site, as all
stories/headlines, good or bad, have equal weight. With the Pligg system,
the stories that are better are usually voted up so they have higher
exposure. VoIP-Info is a great site for sharing Asterisk recipes and HowTos,
but I'm not a fan of it as a news site.

Give the new site a break. I think it's a good idea. Sure there are lots
of news sites for VoIP, but many of them are poorly designed, and I can't
recall any that are very good at letting the users provide the news content.
I agree that the name could be better, but after having just tried it out, I
really like AstPligg.

Re: [asterisk-users] Which KDE editor to edit Asterisk config files ?

2007-05-16 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Olivier,

I would guess that most people aren't running any type of GUI on their
Asterisk box. Running an X server plus some type of window manager adds a
lot of overhead that's completely unnecessary for a server. I just SSH into
the server and use VI to edit the files - The server doesn't run any type of
GUI, there's no reason for it to.

It has nothing to do with the GUI. Trixbox compiles Zaptel for you and
provides them as RPMs for installation. Removing the RPMs and all the
configs they leave lying around and compiling from source can be a
complicated process, and the Trixbox forums/mailing lists will be better
able to help the OP in this case.

Re: [asterisk-users] Need some help with a very simple Queestion..

Hi Gavin,

You don't need queues to ring two phones, you can simply use the dial
command:

Dial(SIP/1SIP/10001)   -- Would dial SIP extensions 1 and 10001.

Now if you want the ability to have multiple people waiting on the line for
those two extensions, that's when you need to look at the option of queues.

Re: [asterisk-users] The purpose of DUNDi

2007-05-09 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Ronaldo,

Yes, you can use DUNDi for this. DUNDi simply advertises routes that a given
server can terminate to its peers. As a very simple example, if ServerA
houses extensions 500 through 599 and ServerB houses extensions 600 through
699, ServerA would advertise that it can terminate 5XX, and ServerB would
advertise that it can terminate 6XX. When any peer in your DUNDi cloud
requests how to terminate extension 502, ServerA will return a route to
itself that will allow that call to be made.

There's a nice article on the Texas AUG site about setting up DUNDi with
dynamic extensions (
http://txaug.net/storage/users/3/3/images/17/Using%20DUNDi%20with%20a%20Cluster%20of%20Asterisk%20Servers.pdf).

Re: [asterisk-users] Headset for Polycom

2007-05-04 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Mike,

Yes, they use a standard headset jack. In our implementations so far we've
just had the customers continue to use their existing headsets. We take one
of them from the customer ahead of time and test it out... So long as it
works well, we replace their phones and keep the headsets. I can't say that
we've found ones that work better than others. I'm sure that there are some
really cheap ones that wouldn't work as well, but I've found that the
customer has already invested a bit into the headsets since their employees
will be wearing them all day long. The headsets are of good quality, and all
seem to work about the same.

Re: [asterisk-users] Best Wireless bridge for Polycoms

2007-04-27 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Mike,

How close together are these phones? If you have a few clusters of them, you
can use the Linksys WRT54G devices to act as wireless bridges (with some
open source firmware - I use DD-WRT). Each device will give you 4 ports to
plug into. It's not a particularly cost effective solution to provide one
WRT54G per phone, but if they're clustered you could centralize one bridge
and plug 4 phones into it.

Re: [asterisk-users] asterisk slows down when unplugging internet cable with VoIP lines

2007-04-26 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Giorgio,

LOTS of people have had this issue, check the list archives for some other
responses.

You are quite correct, Asterisk DNS is synchronous, so when your internet
connection goes down, it causes some problems for the rest of the system.
There are a couple of ways of handling this:

1) Don't use DNS. Use IP's in your Asterisk conf files instead of hostnames.
(Make sure there are no hostnames ANYWHERE in the conf files).

2) Use an internal DNS server/cache. Setup a DNS server that caches queries
somewhere on your network (or on the Asterisk box itself, if you're unable
to put it somewhere else on the network). Set the Asterisk box to use your
internal DNS server. This way, even if the internet goes down, Zap calls and
internal calls will still be routed, as Asterisk will still be able perform
DNS lookups.

Both of these options have the downside that if your provider changes their
IP, nothing works and you'll have to either change all your conf files
(option 1) or clear your DNS cache and force a lookup again (option 2).
However, most providers won't change the IP on your, and I would hope that
if they did, they would notify their customers ahead of time.

Cheers,
Alex Robar

Hi,
I have an Asterisk 1.2.9.1 on a Debian Sarge distro connected to a VoIP

I noticed Asterisk gets slow and  behaves in strange manner if I unplug
my internet cable from the PBX: for example I get incoming calls after
seconds or I get no audio during calls.
I thought it was something connected to DNS resolution so I put VoIP
provider addresses inside /etc/hosts but still have slow problems.
I made some tests adding registrations to providers inside sip.conf
keeping my PBX disconnected from internet: after a sip reload the CLI
simply stay freezed waiting for something. Trying to sip reload gives
a message Asterisk is still waiting to perform the last reload. A real
mess!
I read on internet, inside dns.h file reference, Asterisk is using
synchronous dns functions...infact a note explains that:
Asterisk DNS is synchronus at this time. This means that if your DNS
does not work properly, Asterisk might not start properly or a channel
may lock
How can it be? If this should be true this would be a big problem with
VoIP lines since losing internet connections is not so uncommon (if so,
why nobody else got this trouble?)
Is it possible to bypass this behaviour or should I avoid VoIP lines??

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Voice sound level

2007-04-26 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Erik,

Asterisk by itself does not have the ability to alter the media stream with
regards to volume. Your zap config will allow you to set rxgain and txgain
for the Austrian ISDN, but that might not suit your purposes for all other
calls that use this trunk.

I believe it was mentioned here before that this might be an interesting
application for Justin Tunney's VoiceChanger application (
http://www.lobstertech.com/code/voicechanger/ ). It's a replacement for the
dial command that alters the pitch of the media stream in real time. I
imagine that with some work, a VolumeChanger application could be written
based off of VoiceChanger.

Alex

You can use the Asterisk Voice Changer application (

  I have the same problem, it seems to occur when an extension is busy

  All my extensions are on local lan with phones having ip addresses in

  Sounds like an error in the dial pan FreePBX generated.

 My suggestion: try a FreePBX mailing list first; the problem *is* more

Re: [asterisk-users] asterisk on debian

2007-03-20 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Josu,

I've done it both ways, and they both generally work equally well (so long
as the package maintainers are doing a decent job). As Victor mentioned
though, the version you wish to install plays a factor in this. I found the
Asterisk build in the repos to be a bit out dated.

Also, it's always bothered me having to wait on another party to create a
package so that I can fix a security vulnerability. I've just gone with the
straight from source method for now, but that's all personal opinion on that
matter really.

The bottom line is that if you want the latest and greatest (in terms of
both feature sets and security updates), build it yourself. Apt-get may be
easier, but there's plenty of good guides to get you going with building
from source.

Re: [asterisk-users] Freepbx Incoming call's configuration

2007-03-15 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Younss,

You just need to setup Inbound Routes in FreePBX. The inbound routes allow
you to route calls based upon caller ID or DID. Since you want to route
based upon the number your caller dialed, you want to route based on DID.
For your example:

1. Create a new inbound route.
2. In the DID field, enter the number you wish to route (555-4570). Keep in
mind that this must match what your provider sends. Some providers send
+1554570, some sent just 4570, and some send something in between. Check
with your provider for their format.
3. At the bottom, select where you'd like that number to be routed to (I
believe you need to select Core: Extension 202).

Save the route, apply the settings (via clicking on the red bar), and that's
it!

Alex

Re: [asterisk-users] DST changes for the US

2007-03-12 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Peder,

I think that CF was correct in his original post. From the Polycom SP IP
admin guide:

Attribuite: tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.start.date
Values permitted: 1-31
Default: 1
Description: Day of the month to start DST.

What the start.date=8 does is tell the phone to start DST on the first
start.dayOfWeek it finds after the start.date. So in this case, we're
telling it to start DST on the first Sunday (1) after the 8th of March
(making it the second Sunday in March).

Re: [asterisk-users] mobility with asterisk

2007-03-07 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Alvaro,

There was a discussion about this a little while ago. Andrew Joakimsen had
some good ideas with how to allow a wifi sip phone to roam between APs
seemlessly. His post pretty much said the following:

 - Set all APs to the same channel and same SSID.
 - Make sure all APs are connected to the same LAN (no NAT on the AP).
 - Play with the settings on the phone with regards to roaming deltas and
receive levels. Suggested settings:
- RxLevel: -60
- PreRoaming: Enable
- RxLevel: -75
- Try Over TxErrcnt: 15
- Try Over RxErrorcnt: 10

Playing with the pre-roaming settings will help you, but you may see a drop
in battery life.

Cheers,
Alex

Re: [asterisk-users] Manager.conf '127.0.0.1 unable to authenticate'

2007-03-06 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Ken,

Trixbox comes with the Flash Operator Panel. The FOP server is likely setup
with incorrect authentication parameters, and hence is failing
authentication everytime it attempts to use the Asterisk Manager API to
update it's tracking of what's going on in your system.

Check your op_server.cfg file (/var/www/html/panel/, I think). Look for the
manager_user and manager_secret parameters, and make sure they match an
entry in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf.

I've used TCPDUMP  NGREP to monitor 127.0.0.1, no data's flowing.

I've tried loading Asterisk with no modules, tried loading with a naked

appears astbill and/or trixbox are likely to blame but I'm running out of

Any suggestinos would be greatly appreciated.

[asterisk-users] Nobody there, continuing...

2007-01-26 Thread Alex Robar

Hi all,

Running Asterisk 1.2.12 (a bit out dated, but it was fully operational until
a few days ago), I'm seeing the following message in my logs, repeated
literally millions of times:

channel.c: Nobody there, continuing…

We've started to see some odd behavior (incoming callers can hear us, we
can't hear them, we can't dial out, etc). I read that this error might
possibly be related to not setting rtptimeout, but I've set this and the
issue persists. The symptoms seem very familiar to the types of issues we
see when the internet goes down (call routing seems to get all screwy), but
the connection appears to be fully operational when the symptoms appear. A
reboot fixes the issues for about 3/4 of a day, but then they start
happening again. Does anybody out there have any clue as to the meaning of
the nobody there message is?

Thanks,
Alex Robar

Re: [asterisk-users] Restrict International Calls

Hi Julian,

The way I do things is to break my call types up into blocks, such as
[emergency], [local], [longdistance], [international], [localextensions],
etc.

Then, I create contexts for my users which include those basic blocks. For
example, a courtesy phone at reception (the [courtesy-phones] context) has
emergency, local and localextensions included in it. Then when I setup an
extension for a courtesy phone, I set context=courtesy-phones.

 Having QoS on your router is valuable to prevent some large download

Isn't QoS only useful to prevent large uploads, as download rely on ISP
router prioritizing Voice over Data ?

Re: [asterisk-users] over 200 queues, anyone?

Not necessarily... The same agents could very well be providing support for
multiple companies. You wouldn't want an announcement from company A in
company B's queues.

Re: [asterisk-users] connecting asterisk (trixbox) to traditional phone lines?

2007-01-02 Thread Alex Robar

I agree with this... The cheapest way is to do this without anymore
hardware. Grab a pay-as-you-go VoIP provider (VoIPJet, Unlmitel, Gizmo
Project, etc.) and setup a trunk. They'll give you a number callable from
the PSTN, and that's all you need. The setup you have already can handle a
voip trunk with no additional hardware.

Re: [asterisk-users] WIFI SIP- The Best phone

2006-12-30 Thread Alex Robar

I agree with regards to the standby time. The Dlink DPH 540 has comparable
talk time, but 30 hours of standby time. I sometimes go for 18 hours or so
before my phone can see a charger again...

Thanks for the tip!  I hadn't seen these advertised before, and I've

multiple line appearances.

One Question:  Really only 12-13 hours on the standby time?  That
seems pretty short in comparison with all the other wifi phones.

Of course everyone is allowed to use VoIP... Asterisk is open! I think
Dovid's point was more that this guy's website says he buys and sells
precious metals and other random items, his postings on this list indicate
that he installs PBXes and resells VoIP services, and then his private
e-mails say that he's a PI. The PI thing sounds just like him trying to get
those who attacked him to back off.

Re: [asterisk-users] [OT] Wifi SIP phones - LinkSys WIP330

2006-12-28 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Wayne,

I was a very lucky guy this christmas, and received a D-Link DPH-540.
Despite the very first gen feel of the phone, I have been very impressed
so far.

You are correct in thinking that it can act as an extension external to your
network. So long as the place you're in has a decent router, it shouldn't be
a problem. I have tested the phone within my local network, as well as on
three other wifi networks that my friends gave me the WEP keys for, and I
was able to register fine, as well make and receive calls without issue. On
one network, I needed to turn the registration refresh down to 90 seconds
(down from one hour) to keep the NAT hole open (but I have to do that with
my Polycom 501 at the office too).

I set the phone to use G729 (to lower bandwidth usage), and I've found the
quality to be great. Depending on where I was, there was a slight delay, but
that's typical of any IP phone outside the local net if the router is QoSing
VoIP or the net connection isn't up to snuff.

The only negative things I have to say about the phone are:

1) You can only store 6 network profiles. I can think of 5 off the top of my
head that I visit frequently. If the 6th is left unused for open APs, what
happens when I find a sixth wifi enabled venue that I visit? Hopefully this
is an artificial limit that will be upped with a firmware upgrade.

2) The refresh rate is _terrible_. It's not really an issue since you're
generally not looking at the screen except for dialing, but it would be nice
to see some type of fluid refresh.

3) Data entry is rough. There are only two input modes: text or numeric. The
text mode defaults to uppercase characters, and if you want to enter a
lowercase character, you have to cycle through all the uppercase characters
on a key before you reach the lowercase ones. For example, a lowercase a
takes four taps of the 2 key. WEP keys are case-insensitive, so that doesn't
matter, but phone book entries are a nightmare. The only saving grace for
this is that you can access the phone via a web interface and edit your
phone book from there. I've found that I get a number from someone, type
their name quickly in uppercase and then fix it later via PC when I'm
connected at home.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi List,
Hope everyone is recovering from the festive season :) (ok we still have
new years i guess!)

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has had any successful dealings with
WiFi phones and operation with '*' at all?

I've been keeping my eye on the LinkSys WIP330 (
http://preview.tinyurl.com/nccxn ) and wondered your collective thoughts?

Would I be correct in thinking that (as long as the relevant ports were
open on the firewall) it would be possible to still be an extension to *
if you could access the internet from, say, a wifi hot spot that was not
a part of the lan?

Thanks

Re: [asterisk-users] for all Asterisk Users

2006-12-06 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Uugan,

Because of the numerous additions and changes that Trixbox makes to the
system, you're better off posting this question to the forums on Trixbox.org.
As I recall, there is a forum dedicated to H.323 there.

Cheers,
Alex

Re: [asterisk-users] odd issue with IP tables

2006-11-18 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Curt,

I would try to find out what it's doing that's slowing your system down so
much. Try turning up logging (or examining the logs) to see what's going on
there, or what it's waiting for. Off the top of my head, I'm wondering if
you've blocked everything else, or have you allowed through the standard
fare? Ie. Have you allowed existing and related connections?

Also, where is iptables sitting? Is it on the local Asterisk box, or is it
on a firewall/router box in front of the Asterisk box?

iptables off, the call goes through immediately again. Its quite odd. The
call does eventually go through and talks fine but it takes sooo long to
connect. Anyone have some suggestions?

Re: [asterisk-users] Grandstream GXP2000 -- What's the Catch?

2006-11-15 Thread Alex Robar

Doug,

Just a note on this subject: I have a Snom 320 at home, and it's got a nice
orange MWI that's pretty visible (especially if the apartment is dark). At
the office I have a Polycom 501. It's got a great red light right at the top
of the phone in the middle. It's very visible unless the phone isn't facing
you at all.

Well I have a Grandstream 200 in a home application and so far I have been

One of the reasons I bought the 200 was because it has a bright red, see
across the room, message waiting indicator. I have not seen that spec'ed
on other phones. That doe not meant they don't have it, it is just not
spec'd. I imagine the multiline LCD's have it on the screen, but you would
not see that unless you specifically walked over and looked.

I would be interested if any other phones have message waiting indicators
as visible as the GS 200.

Unified messaging would be nice. Not just having my VM's e-mailed to me, but to be able to manage them from with Outlook (or any other mail client for that matter) would be nice. I picture it sort of like an IMAP mailbox, and the mail client just has some kind of functionality to recognize that the message is a VM and not a mail message (so it could display length, date/time received, CID, and provide a play button).

Re: [asterisk-users] How to clear trixbox configuration

2006-11-02 Thread Alex Robar
You don't need to reinstall everything, only FreePBX. Upon installation, FreePBX will create any missing .conf files. Your best bet is to backup everything under /etc/asterisk, and then delete your sip*.conf, iax*.conf and extensions*.conf (where the * indicates all included files, such as sip_additional.conf and sip_custom.conf). 
Then grab the tarball of FreePBX and run the install script. You should have the default FreePBX conf files now.AlexOn 11/2/06, Zeeshan Zakaria

You could hack together some kind of solution for accepting the fax digitally (turning it into a PDF or some other type of file) using SpanDSP and app_rxfax, and then just have a script that runs every hour or so, deleting the generated images. I've never done this, but you should be able to receive the fax digitally without issue. From there, it's a simple cleanup script.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk web interface is not parsing the PHP pages

2006-10-31 Thread Alex Robar
Alok,

Two things: 

1) You said you installed AMP. AMP has ceased development a while ago, but is survived by the FreePBX project. If you actually installed AMP and not FreePBX, I would suggest you get FreePBX running first. A lot of effort went into improving FreePBX from AMP.


2) You typically won't find much help for the GUIs from this list because the GUIs have their own mailing lists and forums. Try posting your question to FreePBX.org. You're more likely to get a response there.

I need someone to explain how the dialplan rules
work? I'm having a hard time getting it. I know that to dial out you
need a 9 and to ignore that 9 once your out... requires a switch of
sorts that tells asterisk to ignore the first digit on the left. 


In freePBX it's this: 

9|NXX 



For Long distance it is 

9|1NXXNXX 



Here is my problem using Free PBX: 



I want to be able to dial long distance and local at will while using
free PBX to set it up. Right now we have 1 line for testing purposes
and soon to be expanded into 2. 


When the rules are arranged like this in FreePBX 

9|1NXXNXX 

9|NXX 



the long distance portion works but the local one does not. 



When its arranged like this 



9|NXX 

9|1NXXNXX 



They both work!



But the above is only done when it's hard coded into the configuration
file (additional_extensions.conf) and free PBX always puts it in this
order... wether I like it or not. 


9|1NXXNXX 

9|NXX 



And causes problems in the configuration file when and I change the settings. This isn't going to help me much! 



Im just a tad bit confused.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Dear Rich,
It seems that my question is very general I apologize for that, but
I am glad to see others like yourself pointing me in different directions,
it seems all around the world we have problems with the cleaning folks.
What I have in mind is to make the phone user lock his phone when he
is leaving with a special code and relock it back when he comes to work
(and as for emergency calls there are attendants who work at night
who will be able to make an emergency call whenever needed at the spot),
now there is nothing that seems to be able to do that directly, I have
played around with the gotoiftime and also the time based dial plan include
sent in mails before that.
But while working I thought of another approach why not create a php
web interface that each user logs in with a special username and password
and gives him access to lock his phone, and what php does is actually change
the secret password to something else than the configured on the phone,
this should make the phone unable to authenticate thus not being able to
make a call, and unlocking it returns the password to it's right form,
I have already found the tables that I need to play around so I will restart
making the php. I will update the list back with my final result.

Do you guys think I could send a mail to the dev site to see if they
can add this feature to asterisk.

You need to better describe your objectives. If you really mean stop
all calls (including emergency calls), that's easy.
If you mean stop all calls that cleaning folks initiate (usually not
employees), that just requires some extensions.conf changes to force
the
user to enter an access code before a call can be placed. (Just don't
advertise that access code anyone that you don't want making calls.
If your talking about a fairly major security issue (such as your users
call forwarding their phones to the brother-in-law after normal hours,
you'll probably need to disable call forwarding on the phone itself.
If your talking about primarily managing expenses, use the CDR detail
to
generate a personalized report for each employee show this calls make
between 5pm and 7am, and forward that report to each employee (and
cc:
the manager). That's usually enough to significantly cut those calls.
If
you don't have a policy relative to use of company assets (phones 
PC's) for personal use, you might put one together and reference that
policy in the morning CDR detail report. (I'm sure at lease some of
those calls are likely legitimate calls, so cutting all calls is not
likely a workable solution.

Re: [asterisk-users] How do you like TrixBox?

2006-10-12 Thread Alex Robar
That's not really a fair criticism... Any kind of documentation about FreePBX will tell you that you need to put hand-coded dialplans into xxx_custom.conf, or the GUI will overwrite the changes.Alex

I don't mind Trixbox. The early

use Trixbox and use plain Asterisk as you get more control. I have modified
conf files in Trixbox, just to have Trixbox overwrite my changes.

So I'm sure many of you
are using or have tried to use TrixBox. Thus far, I'm in love with it. I
haven't had a single snag. Then again, I don't need to get into anything overly
nitty gritty with my Asterisk box.

What are your views?

Re: [asterisk-users] TDM400P incoming route for DID

2006-10-11 Thread Alex Robar
Analog routes (ie. copper telco lines) do not have DID information on them. Only digital lines (PRI, often VoIP DID) have this information sent alongside the call. What you need to do is change the context for each port you want redirected in 
zapata.conf, like so:signalling=fxs_kscontext=from-pstngroup=0channel = 1signalling=fxs_ks
context=redirect-context
group=0
channel = 2Cheers,AlexOn 10/12/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am an asterisk newbie. I have successfully installed
asterisk on Freebsd. The problem I am having is when I try to route based upon
incoming DID. CALLERID(dnid) nor CDR(dst) have a number in them. Please
help.



Thanks

Within FreePBX, under the tools menu, there is an Asterisk CLI module. Select that one and type sip show peers when one of the phones isn't working. Paste the output that you get back here.Alex

Hi, Alex...thank you for your response

How do you do that, at the Portal or using a dos command?

Thanks again.

Re: [asterisk-users] [EMAIL PROTECTED] problems

2006-10-09 Thread Alex Robar
FreePBX is the successor to the Asterisk Management Portal, a part of [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know what version that is, so you might not even have the module I'm talking about. From the command shell, type asterisk -r, which will drop you to another prompt. From there, type sip show peers and paste the output.

No, there;s no firewall and they are all correctly connected to the 
LAN. They work just fine, and then, one or two days later and out of the 
blue, they start having problems.

Re: [asterisk-users] swap CID with DID

2006-10-06 Thread Alex Robar
Michael,You should be able to just do this: Set(CALLERID(num)=${DNID})... Though the VoIP-Info page is very vague about the DNID variable. You might try it out though.Best of luck!Alex

Does anyone have a way to send the DID in place of the CID number. Iwant pop a web page with the DID in the URL but all the software I haveseen only supports putting the CID info in the URL. If I could swap the
two I could just use the programs as is. The two programs I have lookedat so far are SNAP and HUDlite. They both pop based on CID. SNAP worksvery well for that.Unless anyone knows of any software that can connect to asterisk, in any
method, and pop a web page when a call comes in and pass the DID intothe URL.--Michael SampsonInformation Systems ManagerCustomer Contact Services[EMAIL PROTECTED]
