[asterisk-users] Call Forwarding / Follow-Me on PRI
Friends, Curious if others have run into this scenario, and can shed further light on it. I am working with an installed base of systems using PRI circuits from several carriers, and the symptoms I relate occur across the board. Most carriers are restricting CALLING Number ID to be one of the numbers allocated to the associated circuit. This makes sense from a perspective of call-fraud prevention. We have clients that used call forwarding or follow-me extensively, and configured to send the ORIGINAL callerID as the Calling ID, so when the call shows up on their cell phone, it appears to be coming from the originator. This capability seems to be going away. Some legacy PRI carriers were not (and perhaps continue to be) so strict about it, and a recent client who was used to this feature, is now unhappy that their new PRI carrier does not allow any callingID other than one associated with the PRI. A workaround or RNIE (Redirecting Number Information Element) has been recommended as an alternative, but that does not appear to be standardized, nor implemented in asterisk. The only PBX vendors that appear to support this in even a limited sense are Cisco and Shoretel. I'm curious if others have encountered this same situation (I'm sure you have), or any other pertinent thoughts. Thanks in advance! -- Barry D.

Re: [asterisk-users] Caller ID (name) - where does it come from?
Well, Teliax says they have no access to the PSTN's database, but I'm suggesting they check out TargusInfo as mentioned above. One of their suggestions, is to contact the local ILEC to get the number published in their white pages. Will that accomplish the same thing (I doubt it).

Re: [asterisk-users] Caller ID (name) - where does it come from?
This is all excellent information. My primary issue is for calls that are
placed FROM my client's PBX, via VOIP provider (Teliax). The recipients of
those calls are the ones that are not getting the proper CNAM information as
the call comes in.
We just recently ported the client's POTS lines to VOIP, and with the
exception of this issue, all is working well. But, my client is really
unhappy that their callerID NAME isn't showing up.

There's a bit of oversimplification going on here -- it's not a ...
database. Different CNAM providers have different databases which are
populated from many sources. Most of the data probably matches, but not
all
of it.
If the Calling Name is incorrect, the person who received the call will
have
to check with their telephony provider (or, if they do their own CNAM
lookups, with their CNAM provider) to get the name for the calling party
fixed up (this presumes that the calling party has already verified with
their own telephony provider that their name is correctly listed). But
that's not all of it, either, because the next time the CNAM provider
refreshes their records, the local fix could be overridden (I'm not sure if
any CNAM providers have the capability to ignore old/bad data for a record,
but perhaps so). Ideally the CNAM provider shares with the calling party
which database the CNAM provider is using for the calling party, so that
the
calling party can try to get it fixed directly with the database provider
(if that's even possible).
In short, it's a mess.
But because accuracy rates are one of the elements that CNAM providers
compete on, these usually do get cleaned up.

The Caller ID name, CNAM is a separate database owned and maintained
cooperatively by the bell operating companies.
Your ITSP is not doing these CNAM lookups for you because they would have
to
pay the BOC's for the 'dips' into the CNAM database. CNAM is a little cash
cow that the BOC's are quick to protect. As such CNAM dips may not be
cached or re-sold as a term service that you must agree to with your CNAM
provider.
As far as solving your CNAM problem, you would need to either choose an
ITSP
that will provide you with CNAM data on a per-call basis, OR you need to do
CNAM dips yourself as I (and many others) do. Beware that some ITSP's
provide best-effort name data culled from various sources. It's not
always terrible but it's not 'coke' it's more like 'dollar store' cola. :-)
As a call comes in to your dial plan you can populate the CALLERID(name)
channel variable using the CURL function in your dialplan as so:
exten =
s,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${CURL(
http://cnam1.edicentral.net/getcnam?q=Cf=Sdn
=${CALLERID(num)})})
AND let's not forget the completely separate issue with getting your
ITSP-provisioned number ENTERED INTO the CNAM database in the first place,
so people see Karl Fife rather than the city, state or worse, some
string of arcane LATA information. There's a solution to this problem too
but I digress...
I've posted my personal notes below from about 18 months ago when I was
searchign for CNAM providers:
-Karl
CNAM PROVIDRES:
Metrostat.com
about 1.5¢ per dip,
$30 minimum deposit, refundable
CNAM service not well documented on web site
A registerd CLEC
Got Name - Out of business?
1.5¢ per dip. no minimums, no setup
ClearReach Networks
.67¢ per dip $200 monthly minimum, resell ok, significant setup fees
411xml.com
more expensive than ClearReach.

So how does Teliax (for instance) go about getting their client's information into these directories? Do they establish a relationship with someone like TargusInfo (described above)?

[asterisk-users] Timestamp on voice mail messages is based on wrong timezone
running asterisk 1.4.13... I've noticed with SOME email clients that the timestamp reported from voicemail is 5 hours off (difference of EST vs UTC). That is, a voicemail received at 15:17:59 EST is sent via email with a Date: header of 10:17:59 - 0500. An email sent through normal means (mail client) from the asterisk server reports the correct time, so it's definitely something inside Asterisk that is inserting the wrong Date stamp. Most email clients seem to display messages by the date RECEIVED, as opposed to date SENT, but naturally, I am the silly one who views email by date SENT, so my voicemails get dropped back 5 hours (which in many cases is no longer on the first screen of my email index).

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.4.13 -- issue with parked calls
We park the calls by transferring to extension 7000, which is our parking extension. We have both Zap and SIP extensions, and I haven't been able to see a pattern if its related to one or the other. The primary person answering the phone is using a SIP phone (Grandstream GXP-2000), we have a small number of analog phones left (2), and other SIP phones (mostly Polycom). The only clue I've seen with the CLI is that I'll generally see a LOT of entries for active channels on extension 7000 if I do a show channels. I'll try to catch this situation again and grab the output. I only started having this problem when I upgraded to the 1.4 version from 1.2.

Re: [asterisk-users] A question about an install i have been asked about...
The point about the politcal side of this is extremely valid. But it also becomes a business opportunity to provide the hosted PBX as a service to BOTH companies! Beyond that, some sort of written agreement between the two companies, the one owning the box and the other as a client may be worthwhile.

People sell hosted VoIP boxes all the time (centrex/virtual PBX), and you can bet it's not one box per client - just like web hosting, that's not really financially viable unless they are paying lots of money! But one issue you might have is the LAN to both companies. A typical * box might only have one Ethernet port - do both companies share the same LAN (I'd generally hope not!) Also the outgoing Internet connections - do they have their own separate ADSL lines, or share one? If they're separate and want to do the remote working thing, then routing the calls to each one is an additional factor. If there's one Internet connection and they have a DMZ (small subnet routed down the ADSL line) and 2 routers, one for each company, then putting the asterisk box in the DMZ is the thing to do, but you then have issues with NAT (probably) and firewalling for the phones on the inside. Not insurmountable, but an additional thing to go wrong. And then there's the political side of things - what if one company decided it doesn't like the other company anymore and pulls the plug on the PBX ...

So if you want a GUI to let each company manage their own extensions then you'll have to write your own - and at that point it might be just as easy to install 2 boxes... I hope someone could shed some light on this for me and give me some idea's.. Read-up on contexts, and I'd suggest you look into asterisk in the raw rather than rely on a GUI of some sorts...

[asterisk-users] Call forwarding (from PHONE configuration) with PRI
Hi folks. My client is wanting to use call forwarding configured on their phones (Linksys SPA942), with a PRI from their provider. When we configure call forwarding, we invariably get a The number you have dialed is not in service message from the providers. Examining the detailed dial plan debugging as well as the PRI debugging, the number is dialed correctly. The only difference noticed between a forwarded call versus a normal outbound call is that an extended attribute of Forwarded Unconditionally. The (slightly edited -- I've edited the phone numbers to protect the innocent) trace is below. Is this an asterisk issue, or an ILEC issue? I have a ticket open with the ILEC as well, but they tend to be less than helpful (their response has been to turn on their call forwarding option). Any thoughts appreciated!

[asterisk-users] Re: Rhino cards lock up system -- anyone else ever seen this?
Turns out this appears to be related to hald -- the hardware abstraction layer daemon running on Centos. I had the almost identical situation occur with a completely separate system which I loaded Trixbox up on, with a single Digium TDM400P card in it. Struggled for several hours over the weekend trying to figure it out. I ended up shutting off all the services I didn't specifically need, and turned them back on one at a time (turned out, hald was the first I tried -- I was most suspicious with it). As soon as I started it up, it locked the system up. Turned all the other services back on, leaving hald off, and the system is running fine. Did the same with the original problem system, and now have no problems with the Rhino cards either! On 1/23/07, Barry D.

[asterisk-users] ZAP: psuedo camped on channel 1?
Folks, this issue has been plaguing me for about 2 months now, ever since I did an upgrade of my asterisk system (new hardware and software -- updated OS and asterisk). Since that time, channel 1 on my ZAP card has been unuseable. I get a device already in use message (I need to restart after-hours to catch the exact error message), and asterisk won't start. This hasn't been a real big deal, as we have 3 other analog extensions available. I just noticed this morning a difference between 2 systems though that may be the issue, but not sure why: ON the asterisk system that is NOT working, `zap show channels` gives me: asterisk-bvr*CLI zap show channels Chan Extension Context Language MusicOnHold pseudo intern-hcst default 2 intern-hcst default 3 intern-hcst default 4 intern-hcst default 6 inbound default 7 inbound default 8 inbound default While on the one that DOES work, I see: asterisk-home*CLI zap show channels Chan Extension Context Language MusicOnHold pseudo from-pstn en 1 from-pstn en 4 from-internal en The difference being (that I see) is that on asterisk-home, the pseduo channel is on a separate channel, where as on the problem system, it is (I think) sitting on channel 1. I also notice that if I unload chan_zap.so, it will say it is unregistering channel 1, which leads me to believe that SOMETHING is causing it to occupy that zap channel. Are there any clues here as to why this is? Barry D.

Ok, actually it's under the settings for the Lines and is called: Allow Auto Answer by Call-Info:
Make sure Yes is selected here.
You can use what Barry has below for paging (or rather intercom) to a single phone. For actual paging (i.e., several phones), use the Page command (show application page for options from the CLI). On paging, I would recommend this: Turn off speaker on remote disconnect: be set to Yes as well.

Is this a problem with the SIPAddHEader that it is jumping immediately to Hangup? I see NO SIP traffic as a result of this, and sip debug shows nothing out of the ordinary.

[intercoms]
exten = **2311,1,Macro(page-grandstream,SIP/2311)
exten = **2311,2,Hangup
And in my local context:
include = intercoms
When I dial **2311, I see the following debug output:
[Sep 8 15:24:37] -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/4-1'
[Sep 8 15:24:43] -- Executing SetMusicOnHold(Zap/4-1, default) in new stack

[Sep 8 15:24:43] -- Hungup 'Zap/4-1'
Is this a problem with the SIPAddHEader that it is jumping immediately to Hangup? I see NO SIP traffic as a result of this, and sip debug shows nothing out of the ordinary.
The BLF functions don't seem to be working either.
I'm running asterisk 1.2.9.1, and have the Granstream GXP2000 reports:
Software Version: Program-- 1.1.0.16 Bootloader-- 1.1.0.1

I want to know how to setup this type of feature on grandstream
phones, i.e. dialing an extension will activate all phones' speaker
phones.

There's a PDF there that tells you (a) what settings to put on the
phone, and (b) how to configure Asterisk to sent the SIP header that
tells the phone to auto-answer.
Cheers,

Please let me know if you get this working. I couldn't.

Re: [asterisk-users] Linksys SPA-3102
Any further experience with the 3102? I'm looking for a solution to connect 2 CO lines and a set of 2-line phones to my asterisk server (along with a bunch of SIP phones). Would 2 of these work well for that? Hopefully no echo problems! That would kill this project? I'm still searching for one peice of hardware that would have 2 FXO and 2 FXO ports on it, but haven't stumbled on it yet On Thu, 2006-07-27 at 09:33 -0400, Wes Baehr wrote: Has anyone used the new 3102?

That would kill this project? I'm still searching for one peice of hardware that would have 2 FXO and 2 FXO ports on it, but haven't stumbled on it yet The only way to know for sure whether the spa will provide reasonable service is to try it on the actual pstn line to be used. There is no other way for anyone to tell you anything different. The quality of the audio echo is 100% dependent on the exact pstn line characteristics, etc. Two other reasonable alternatives are: Digium TDM card with two fxo and two fxs modules. Sangoma A200d card with one fxo module (has two lines on it) and one fxs module (has two lines on it). Yes, this would definitely work. J'm trying to avoid running phone lines the distance between the existing demarc and the asterisk server :-) But, it would probably be the best solution. Actually, as I look further, I don't think the 3102 will work in this environment at all for what I want. (incoming FXO calls go to Asterisk server, and through its dial plan, which might include ringing the analog phones on the FXS ports). I did find AudioCodes MediaPack MP-114, which has exactly the configuration I want (2 FXO, 2 FXS), but have to be registered to get any documentation on the units. 2 Grandstream HT-488's looks like a possibility too I think I'll just run the phone lines into the server, and add more cards there :-) The only way to know for sure whether the TDM card will provide reasonable service is to try it on the actual pstn lines, just exactly like the spa box. Same issues as the spa; some pstn lines work fine, others have echo that nags users. The Sangoma card with h/w echo canceler just plain works, but is probably the more expensive of the alternatives. The Mediatrix 1204 seems to have excellent echo characteristics, but it is likely the most expensive approach for small systems. ___ --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
[asterisk-users] PRI vs Digital Trunk
Hi, can someone enlighten me as to the difference between a PRI and a Digital Trunk (other than cost)? I do understand PRI (B-channel signaling, incoming/outgoing call setup, D channel for voice/data, etc), but I'm not quite sure how that compares with what my vendor is calling a Digital Trunk (specifically in contrast to a PRI). The PRI is about twice the cost. If this is just a channelized T1 (24 64k voice/data channels'), would they each be assigned a specific phone number, or is there further flexibility in sending/receiving calls, callerid (receive or send), etc? Feeling ignorant here Thanks! ___ --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] PRI vs Digital Trunk
Thanks for the answers folks. I think I now understand that indeed, the Digital Trunk is really nothing more than the same analog services, just delivered digitally. no outbound ANI (of especial interest), etc This is in the Dayton Ohio area, major telco vendor. I'll have to pursue the differences with them further, as the pricing is about double for the PRI vs the Digital Trunk. I'd like to move 7 analog lines to a digital interface, but just can't cost-justify it in this scenario :-( On Tue, 2006-07-25 at 15:25 -0400, Barry D.
