[Asterisk-Users] Touch tone recognition issues
Im experiencing touch tone recognition issues when calling some outside phone systems. For instance, if I call my Nextel phone, and try to press * to enter my voicemail, Nextels system does not hear the DTMF tone. Ive also experienced other outside phone systems for which I am unable to use their touch tone menus. Oddly, this isnt the case with all outside systems. If I call Dell, everything works great. Is this a known issue with asterisk? Im hope there is a simple setting Ive over looked. All help is appreciated. Thank you.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] How to restrict simultaneous phone registrations
If I lock the account down to one simultaneous call, this will resolve
one problem but create another. The user will only be able to place or
receive one call and not be able to conference call two or three people
at a time. Correct? I really need to be able to lock the account down so
multiple calls can be placed from an account at Location A but not the
same account at Location B at the same time.
Kind of like the old version of AOL instant messenger. If you logon in a
second location, it'll bump off the first location. You couldn't use it
in two places at once. An even better scenario would be that both
locations can be logged in but only the second location to login can
place calls. This would cause someone to have to close their phone and
re-open it to place calls (bumping off the other phone).

You can limit calls using the set/check group commands.

Correct, and I can lookup the registration IP's but they are NAT'd. I'm using a siparator for traversal. This means the only IP's asterisk is seeing are that of the siparator.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] How to restrict simultaneous phone registrations
I apologize if this information is posted elsewhere. Unfortunately I haven't found it yet if it is. I'm not familiar with the channel counting features could you please explain? Also, how are you tagging the phones to account codes? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Wiebe Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 12:04 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] How to restrict simultaneous phone registrations -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Here's how I do it. I have the phones tagged to accountcodes and I use the channel counting features of asterisk to limit an accountcode to X number of simultaneous calls.

If he disputes it, refund the first time then change the password to something really complicated then start billing him if it keeps happening after that!

And included a bit more information on what I am trying to accomplish. Solution 1 (preferred) I am working on an asterisk installation where most end users will use softphones. If I am not able to lock down calling to one phone at a time, the end users will share their login information with friends, family, neighbors, and the some girl they meet on myspace. Currently, I am able to register two phones at separate locations with the same account on each phone and make concurrent calls. For example, If I login extension 333 at location A, and 333 at location B, simultaneous calls can be placed from both phones at the exact same time. I only want calls placed from extension 333 to work from either A or B not A and B concurrently. Here is my ideal solution. Location A wants to make a call, but location B has a call in progress. Location B has to either close their phone, or hang up before Location A can make the call. OR.. Solution 2. :) A way I can distinguish in my CDR the IP address or some other recognizable difference between the two locations when they make concurrent calls using the same extension. The complication here is; I can currently the log IP addresses, but as the end phones are on the internet, Nat'd, and I am using a siparator for traversal. As a result, my logs show the IP address of the siparator and I don't have any other data to distinguish the end phones. OR.. Solution 2.5 One thought I've had is to send logs from the siparator to a syslog server, parse them, hunt for simultaneous calls placed by the same accounts from different locations, and bill the end users accordingly. But I really dislike this idea as no one likes to be hit with surcharges. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

Has anyone found any sort of solution for this type scenario? This is a non-issue, because a second registration to the same account will override and previous registrations for that account. ___ - -- Darren Wiebe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aleph Communications ASTPP - Open Source Voip Billing Calling Cards www.aleph-com.net/astpp -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFENJMw4DADnh+tnOQRAnA6AJ9WPEQKXAVidz7g6aXkIbeCqD2LfwCdF7yd f3ImomYaAAikmfoocM76Pdo= =9FdV -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options
[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Failover without SER
Hello all, I first want to thank everyone for all your contributions. Ive building an asterisk system for a month or so now and without everyone in the online asterisk community I wouldnt have made it this far yet. Thanks! ok, mushiness out of the way.. :) I am looking for a failover and ultimately a load balancing asterisk solution. Ive done a good bit of research and I havent really found any information for implementing an Asterisk only failover or load balancing solution. Everyone seems to use SER along with asterisk to accomplish this goal. SER with asterisk may be in my future, but for now I need to get this system up and running. Ive setup heartbeat (ultramonkey), and are able to take my primary box offline and have the second machine take over, but it isnt working in regards to asterisk. I cant register phones to the virtual ip. I can ssh into the virtual ip but my soft phones wont register. I get the following error. Is this normal? Does anyone have any experience with this sort of setup without the use of SER?

Well, I should say Sporadically I can register to the virtual ip. Other times I cant.
