Subject: [asterisk-users] Unprovisioned 7961


Hi Everyone,

I am having some issues getting my 7961 working with Trixbox. I have
loaded the SIP code (8-3-3SR2) fine but when the phone boots up it goes
into an unprovisioned state. A status message shows up and says Error
Verifying Config Info. 

I have read quite a bit on this topic (getting 7961's to work with
Asterisk and TB) and only came across a few postings where other people
encountered this issue but no solution was given. I have checked the
SEP.cnf.xml file for the phone and everything seems to be right. I even
tried to remove some parts of the code as people suggested but no luck.
I already have a 7960 on TB so I know that TFTP is working correctly.

Any ideas on how I can get this to work would be much appreciated.

Thank.

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco 7941G-GE with Asterisk and CTPSEP odyssee

2008-01-04 Thread Chad Osmond
I've always found it best to run with no CTLSEPMAC.tlv file in the
tftp server directory; it will ignore that and move on.

With the 7961's you'll be best in the 8-3-3SR2 leading edge, the DND
button is where it should be, and transfers work the way they should
again.

The XML configuration file is different, I'll post one onto the Wiki
that actually works and takes updates.

Can you post a pinout of the cable that you're using for serial? I have
a 6 Wire cable and a RG12 (6 Wire) to DB-9, but no working pinouts...

Ideally from End to End pinout would be great.

Thanks,

Chad

 Hi list,

 I have bought some Cisco 7941G-GE IP phones and want to use them with
 asterisk. Before bying I tested the whole setup with three different
 models of the old 79X0 series (a 7912, 7940 and a 7960). Flashing the
 formerly provided SCCP-Image to SIP was no problem, but now it
complains
 about a nonexistent CTLSEPmac.tlv file. Most of the howtos say
 something about an empty file but that does not suit to me. 
Don't know what you mean by that does not suit me
Simply create a file with no contents and the load will be happy
There is plenty of information available on how to up the 7960 from SCCP

to SIP, and I assume from your question you are in the transition from 6

to 7.
Use Google, look on the voip-info site and you will find step by step 
procedures.
Different versions of now obsolete firmware are also on the Net.
7961, 7970 results may vary!
 Does anyone of you have experience in getting these phones to work or
can point me to any information bringing me back in the game?
   
You need to work your way up, version by version as well.

The problem I now have is version 7.1 works fine, version 7.3 won't 
place any calls and goes to reorder.  Asterisk shows it trying to go to 
a non existent context, not specified in sip.conf

Any ideas?

Chad,

I had the same problem when upgrading to some of the newer
firmware. The newer firmware gets even pickier (if that's even possible)
about the config files. Go the phone's webpage and look at the debug
log. It will show you where it's not parsing correctly. I'm not in front
of my phone now so I can't look, but I remember it getting upset about
networkLocale or userLocale or something of that nature, so I just
removed that section of the XML code and it loaded fine.

Good luck,

[asterisk-users] Cisco 7961 new firmware stops reading configuration files

2007-12-20 Thread Chad Osmond
Hello,
 
I have been running SIP41.8-2-2SR4S firmware on the Cisco 7961 and have
recently upgraded to SIP41.8-3-2SR1S to add the DND button on the front
of the phone and also to hopefully resolve some issues with the phones
not registering after a long period.

Once we upgraded the phones now display Error Verifying Config Info in
the Status messages and will not process the configuration file.

To make a change on the phone I have to downgrade to 8.2.2R4 and change
the configuration, and then upgrade to 8.3.2R1, which is a bit of a
pain.

The tftp logs indicate that the phones is getting the correct
SEPMAC.xml.cnf file but will not parse it, so that doesn't seem to be
the issue.

The Wiki pages for 79x1 indicate that it's a known issue, has anyone
managed to get past the issue?
I tried logging a call with Cisco TAC, but they're giving the We don't
support SIP on anything other then CME...

Thanks,

Chad

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom NTP issue

2006-04-27 Thread Chad Osmond



Are you passing the Offset through the DHCP server as well? On a linux 
DHCP server this would be:
 option 
time-offset 
-18000; # Eastern Standard Time 
option 
ntp-servers 
192.168.x.x

The fact that the date is wrong, but the time is correct, seems a little 
strange to me. Are you sure your Windows server is set to the correct date? 


What happens if you set the time on the phone to a different time and 
date, will it pull the date back of the NTP server?

Also, try and run some network sniffing tools to verify that it is 
getting a valid response.


I am ready to pull my hair out. I cannot seem to get the 
Polycoms to read the time properly. Regardless of the server they are pointed to 
our the offset, i am getting the correct time, but 24 hours ahead. So for today 
it is showing Friday April 28 but with the correct time. Any 
clues?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Looking for input on which way to go with smallbusiness setup

2006-04-27 Thread Chad Osmond
If you use a Sangoma T1 card, (A10x) card you can send both voice and
data down the same T1 and have the Sangoma card split it for you.

If you are talking about non-hobby usage, stay away from FXO adapters
and go with a T1.. You'll be much happier in the long run. For a
fractional T1, don't worry about hardware echo, asterisk will handle the
echo fine.

I would seriously consider shelling out for a decent phone. For example,
the Polycom 301 is an entry level phone that isn't too expensive.  Your
users will hate using an analog phone for transferring and forwarding. 

If you decide to run analog phones, then you may as well get a multiport
FXS to T1 device and then buy a 2x T1 card like the A102 from Sangoma,
or the Digium equivalent.

I would suggest that the 768k/s fractional T1 will cost you more then a
3Mb/512Kb DSL line, so go with the DSL if your SLA can live with the
occasional outage.

some sort of ATA and run the 12 analog phones to that OR go with what
SBC/ATT (in my

12 channels for voice, run some ATA between * and the phones and use the
768 up and down for data? Anyone use this Integrated T1 with asterisk
before?
What hardware did you use?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom 501 power over ethernet

I was just thinking, about this..

Move your Polycom Power Injecting Patch cable (Black Cable with AC
Adapter Input) into the cabling closet. You could then infuse the power
at the cabling closet and then just use a standard patch cable to patch
the phone in. 

You would be looking at a line loss of 40 Ohms per 1000 ft, or about 12
Ohms per 300ft run.

Max output of the transformer is 400mA @ 12V

The Voltage drop of a 12 Ohm load on a 400mA circuit is 0.03V... So that
should be more the acceptable.

I just don't know what would happen if a user plugged a phone into the
line..

My recollection of the marketing fluff was that we would just use our
legacy network (cables) and the devices at both ends would figure out
whether they were sourcing, sinking, or neither.  In the case of the
501, it's the special Polycom cable, either with or without provision
for an AC power adapter, that powers the phone.  That's what I meant by
saying the '501' itself is not compliant with 802.3af -- it needs a
separate thingamajig [tech jargon :)]to be powered.

Anyway I had hoped that I could just plug a CAT-5 patch cable from my
RJ45 wall outlet into the phone.

 The IP501 telephone set is the same for both PoE and local power.   
 With the PoE cable, the 802.3af electronics (the negotiator) is a 
 plastic thing in the cable.  For the local power, there is a plastic 
 thingie toward the wall end of the cable, and you plug the wall wart 
 into the plastic thingie.  Notice the advanced technical jargon here

 With local power, there is still only one cable one the desk--the 
 power plugs into the cable towards the wall.  Except for a power

2006-02-09 Thread Chad Osmond
Title: Asterisk vs. Traditional PBX



You may be using less then ideal phones. With a Polycom 501, I can't see 
you having voice quality issues, With a Sangoma or Digium card and a PRI the 
quality and functions of a Asterisk system are on par with most PBX's (I'd say 
they're above).

It is a good solution for most companies, consider the ability to change 
features and expand only limited by your abilities (or those of 
consultants).

For 200 people, you will probably need40 channels, which will be 
two T1's, so start looking for a dual T1 card ( again Digium and Sangoma make 
excellent products).

Hope this helps, there are thousands of systems running in companies of 
your size.

I 
would recommend running two servers in a active/passive format and rsync them 
every hour (to a different directory). If the server blows up and kills the 
board you can easily switch over in a few seconds.

It also makes upgrading easier,.

[Asterisk-Users] Caller stuck in MoH after being answered by a phone that was forwarded to.

2006-02-09 Thread Chad Osmond
Can anyone shed some light on what happened?
Asterisk 1.2.1 with Zaptel 1.2.1

Here is what I know happened:
A call came into our main number and was answered 
Asterisk set the monitor CALLFILENAME and then started monitor.
The call was directed to a context called open where all calls go
during business hours.
The dial plan has a Answer() again, and then played a message (custom/1)

The next dial plan was for a Dial SIP/221SIP/222 statement to dial our
reception phones.
One of the Receptions phones was forwarded because they were out on
lunch.
Extension 222 was forwarded to 249 who answered the call (Polycom 501)
249 Answered the call and then transferred to another users phone (223).

The phone (223) rang once and then stopped ringing.
The user on Zap/1-1 was stuck in MOH until he hung up.

Hi - 

 I'm running 1.6.2.0041 according to my phone.
 
 Which firmware worked for you?
 
 It was the old firmware from when we first got the phones actually.
 1.4.x I think. Then I read that they fixed the CID issue and decided 
 we needed an upgrade. I tried it out on my phone, but didn't really 
 notice the problem until we had upgraded the rest. Oh well...
 
 
 Also, these are IP 500 SIP.

We've been using Polycom phones since firmware version 1.3.0, and I've
used every version of the firmware since then in production on IP300s,
IP500s, IP501s, IP600s, IP601s and IP4000s.  I've never had this issue
on any of them.  I don't mean to downplay the issue, but it may be
possible that you did, in fact, get a bad batch of phones.  When I've
ordered these phones in quantity before, I've gotten many phones with
consecutive serial/mac addresses, so they were probably manufactured in
a bunch.  Maybe a bad batch of mics got installed on a group of phones?

One thing I was pondering: you are not, by chance, using the same
sip.cfg between version 1.4.1 and version 1.6.2 are you?  The file has
changed significantly between these versions, and certain acoustic
settings that worked with 1.4.1 may not work with 1.6.2 (Not to mention
that ipmid.cfg and sip.cfg were merged in the 1.5.x release).

 Hello Asterisk Community.

  While sitting at lunch the other day I had a typical napkin-prototype
idea:
 What if I could make my Asterisk Voicemail accessible as a Podcast in
iTunes?
 Three hours later with the help of two friends I had a working proof
of
 concept.  Now we are releasing the polished version of this idea as
PodMail
 1.0

  PodMail brings together open-source telephony and Podcasting to
create a
new,
 useful way of accessing voicemail and podcasting.

  PodMail integrates with Asterisk to provide a secure podcast of your
 voicemail. Supporting authentication directly against voicemail.conf
or
using
 an LDAP directory, PodMail allows you to subscribe to your own
voicemail
box.
 Each time you dock your iPod, your new voicemails will sync right
along.
 Listen to your voicemail at your convenience and without using cell
minutes.

  PodMail also allows for a brand new type of PodCasting. Unchain
Podcasting
 from the computer! Configure PodMail for public access and you have a
 ready-to-run PodCast. Updating your Podcast is as easy as phone call.
 Moblogging has never been so easy or flexible.

  Live Demo:
  Do not miss out our live demo at http://podmail.alkaloid.net/
  Leave us a message in one of our mailboxes, subscribe to one of the
PodMail
 Podcasts, then see and hear your message immediately!

  Check out the PodMail Documentation and Installation Notes at
 http://projects.alkaloid.net.  PodMail is released under the terms of
the
 GPL.

 Enjoy!

Is there a way to configure ztdummy

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Echo calibration with ztmonitor and a testlinefrom a telco

2005-08-16 Thread Chad Osmond
The value of 14800 is correct.
I had issues with my TDM400p with 2x FXO's installed and using the Xlite 
client. I could not get the echo stable at the initial call.

Changing to a hard phone made everything work correctly. I still had problems 
with the off location I called, but mostly worked great.

To see the TX gain I created an extension with the Milliwatt command attached 
to it and called it from the PSTN, then on a second line I called the milliwatt 
line at my CO and compared the volumes by ear (instead of looping around) and 
it worked great.

that maybe someone could confirm to which value we want the rx of ztmonitor

RE: [Asterisk-Users] quad t1 / 1U rack server combos

2005-08-16 Thread Chad Osmond



From what I understand (From Sangoma's tech support) and having a IBM 
x306 SCSI system with an A102u I believe that the system will scale up to 4xT1's 
easily.
With a full T1 of traffic coming in and playing music on hold, 
theCPU was at 7% with no transcoding.

Sangomacards are supposed to place 
less draw on the interrupts and offer some new direct writing to DMA in their 
A104 cards. You may want to give them a call (Scott or Nenad are the two best 
people to speak with). 

From Sangoma 
README.asterisk:
Voice data is channelized and grouped 
into 8 byte chunks in HARDWARE. Each voice channel is 
then DMAed directly into the ZAPTEL buffers. Thus there is ZERO copy 
from HARDWARE to ZAPTEL, resulting in better performance and 
scalability.


It sounds to me like 
that would be once advantage over Digiums cards. They also have Hardware PRI 
functions that are passed directly to libpri.
http://sangoma.com/linux/README.asterisk

Hope that helps.

It is amazing to me at this point 
that there is not an official Digium list of supported servers (including 1u 
models!). Clearly the number 1 issue with the Digium PRI cards is the server 
that they are used in.

The new cards even go as far as 
listing server that DO NOT work on the Digium site!

The wiki references are old and do 
not have any testing parameters.

Cmon guys! Certify a few current 
model servers and be done with it.

Without that information I must 
again ask the question;

What 1u server combos work with the 
new quad pri cards UNDER LOAD (more than 75% channel use). Every user that buys 
a Digium PRI card should not have to play hit or miss with 2 or 3 servers that 
cost more than the card to get it to work.

Please Please Please publish 
something useful to support the sale of PRI cards.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Newbie Question: Building an Asterisk system to replace an old PBX but using existing phone

2005-08-11 Thread Chad Osmond
To use the old phones and existing wiring you'll need some E1/T1 FXS
Channel banks  and a T1/E1 Card. Each bank will handle 30/24 phones and
pipe them into a single E1/T1 connection.

You can connect up to 4 (or 8 soon from Sangoma) T1's per card. I really
like the Sangoma cards, there are also Digium cards as well.


The Wiki will have a lot more information regarding Channel Banks and
FXS adapters, I would suggest starting there.

I do not know about Thailand DID's, but I would rather not see you post
six times about this.

There should be some information in the Wiki about providers all across
the world and Google may have some additional information.

Try the -biz list for biz' related questions.

Or, the Wiki has a lot of information:

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] TDM04B - Takes long to initialize...

Hello All,

I got my TDM04B card installed and configured.

Everything works fine I can receive calls and route to appropriate  
extensions.

The only problem I am facing is Slowness.

When I dial the PSTN number which is connected to Zap 1-1 after two  
ring it answers and then run the AGI script. What I did was assign it  
to a specific extension. So all inbound call on that PSTN number  
should ring on that extension.

But its too slow... First Zap 1-1 takes time to initialize and then  
transferring the call to extension takes time.

Is there any way to speed up the process or reduce the timings, I can  
not find any info.

Please help...

Thanks
Neel

Ipmid still is being processed, sip.cfg contained the same information.
I've removed it just to clean things up.

Setting the class to the correct value solved the problem, I can't
believe that I missed it.

Although the ipmid.cfg has been deprecated with SIP v1.5.2 (all the
parameters have been moved to sip.cfg), the firmware will still parse
and use the ipmid.cfg file until you specifically update your existing
configuration files.

If you have already updated the configuration files, then both of the
parameters will be in the sip.cfg file.

The IP-501 AFAIK comes shipped with SIP1.5.2 which does NOT use

But once you have one setup you can just buy a barcode scanner, scan the
MAC from the label, print your secret and other data entries as barcodes
and use the script to set them all up.
 
I'm loving the polycom setup at this point, the central configuration
setup is fantastic.

Did you try tailing the /var/log/dmesg to see what happened when you

Check that /etc/modprobe.conf still contains the correct module entries.

2005-06-27 Thread Chad Osmond

For someone that places outbound calls only, in a fairly low volume, is
there a recommendation for which one would be best for me?

I have had continual audio trouble with LiveVOIP, though other services
(FWD) work fine, so I'd want something that has good audio quality.

I will toss in my $0.02 and say that I have had good luck with Voxee,
simple setup, good quality, not so great instructions (there weren't
any) but a snappy response from the time I paid in paypal until the time
it appeared on my account (2 minutes)

Their rates seem good as well, I'm happy with them.
There was an issue with their servers ignoring the CID information, but
that has been resolved.

The Dual 2.8GHz will be much faster for running everything. If it is the

Depending on the manufacture of the system it may even take a failure of

I am moving into a production environment. I will mostly be using

I have the choice between Dual 2.8GHz Xeon Processors and a single

Would one of these processor setups be favourable, both in terms of

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] OT: DSL problems - UNREACHABLE - REACHABLE


I could really use some input here, forgive the OT nature, but my
problem is related to asterisk and voIP on a DSL connection and becoming
a big mystery.

I noticed about three weeks ago a lot of UNREACHABLEs that became
REACHABLE 10 seconds later. After studying this a little, it happens
that the DSL connection was stopping every 8 minutes (+ about 3
seconds). The modem doesn't apperat to lose sync, the data flow just
stops. Since then I've removed asterisk from that connection.

Every possible test has been done at our office, three different
modem/routers of different brands were swapped in/out, there is a second
phone line in the same cable that is on a different connection and it
does not have the interruptions. I've turned off every box in the office
and disconnected every cable from the router.Also disconnected FXO
lines, phones and left just a modem/router on.  No change. The 8 minutes
are invariable, so after turning of everything here, I can't see how it
could possibly be any local hardware.

The phone company here has, after being evasive aboput checking the
DSLAM, claimed they did everything possible, changed our DSLAM
connection, tried every piece of equipment on their end. Ditto the ISP
who has been very cooperative.

I can only think of one more possible approach: get the power lines and
the phone line independently checked for some kind of parasitic
interference, say a big machine of some kind going on and off. Why this
affects one DSL connection and not the other... I wouldn't know.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what kind of outfit to look for
that might do this kind of checking? Or any suggestions to pursue at
all?

Can you post your extensions.conf file, there may be a clue somewhere in

If you included the default example it should be working, but there may
