  I know this is a question with an obvious answer to some, but I am
not
  one of them.
 
  Installed FC3, but this time I decide to update since my ISOs are a
bit
  old, so typical yum update
 
  Downloaded the FC3 SRPM for my kernel 2.6.12...
 
  Installed the SRPM package
  Ran rpmbuild -bp -target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec
 
 why to recompile the kernel package ?

Because I don't know any better?

Do I even need the kernel source RPM or just kernel-smp-devel?

When making zaptel;

Make clean
Make linux26 -- is this still required in current CVS head?
Make install

 
 
  Tried to build zaptel
 
  - error; You do not appear to have the sources for the
  2.6.12-1.1372_FC3smp kernel installed.
 
 yum install kernel-smp-devel
 ln -s /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ /usr/src/linux-2.6
 
 should help ;-)
 
Yes it did, and I thank you!

 Hi,
 
 This is what I want to do:
 
 1. Asterisk to answer calls via DID's, currently using SIPGATE
 2. Provide a menu, and allow users to dial out.
 3. According to the country and area they dial, the call should
connect
 via
 one of up 4 carriers depending on cost.
 4. If the carrier is busy it should go to the next one in line and so
 forth.
 
 I have tried to set this up, but it never answers the calls from
Sipgate
 via
 SIP.
 
 Has anyone done anything like this before, and if so can they PLEASE
give
 me
 some pointers or conf files so that I can see where I am going wrong
on
 this!!!
 
 Thanks
 
 Huw.

over
  PRI calling name delivery.
 
 Welcome to my world, I deal with theses guys daily!  Errgiant arn't
 they.  We have a saying around work 'The telco is always wrong!'.
 
  The telco publishes their calling name delivery over PRI feature as
  being bellcore gr-1367-core compliant.
 
  The gr-1367-core spec states that the calling name is to be included
as
  a facility IE in the setup message, or sent in a subsequent facility
IE
  message with an indicator in the setup message that the CNAM will
  follow.
 
  Extensive testing and ISDN/PRI protocol analysis shows that the
facility
  IE they are sending out with the CNAM in it comes only after we have
  sent back PROGRESS and ALERTING in response to the SETUP. If we
block
  the PROGRESS and ALERTING and sit and WAIT for the FACILITY we never
get
  it, the call will time out, so we know they are actually waiting for
the
  call to progress before sending the facility IE CNAM.
 
 This sounds a little fishy, Orgination Number is usually transmitted
in
 the SETUP message.  Your are almost correct in your messaging:
 
 Network  User(Switch)
 Setup
  CALL PROCEEDING
  ALERTING
  CALL CONNECT
 CALL CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE
 
 
 There is about a 4sec timeout allow after SETUP is initially sent, if
 CALL PROCEEDING is not transmitted by that time, the Network side will
 terminiate the call.
 
  As far as I can tell the GR-1367-CORE spec does not define a maximum
  delay in sending the facility IE or whether it is acceptable to wait
for
  PROGRESS and ALERT before sending it.
 
  The setup is; Telco PRI Lucent 5ESS  Lucent MAX TNT  Asterisk
 
 Here is an ISDN trace from a Dialogic board attached to a 5ESS switch

 Notice my comments on where ANI and DNIS arrive in the SETUP message.
 
  The MAX TNT responds to the Facility IE with ISDN error 98, invalid
  message for call state.
 
 This is an actual CAUSE CODE from Q.931:
 
 Cause No. 98 - Message not compatible
 
 This cause indicates that the message received is not compatible with
 the call state or the message type is non-existent or not implemented.
 
 In short it is a protocol error.  Check out
 http://www.telos-systems.com/?/techtalk/cause.htm for a complete lists
 of causes and there meaning.
 
  The SIP INVITE from the TNT to Asterisk contains no Caller Name
  information.
 
  It seems really odd to me that a Lucent TNT can not translate the
caller
  ID Name info delivered by a Lucent 5ESS switch.
 
  On the same setup, if I connect another PRI device to it that
emulates
  switch side signaling and includes the CNAM as a Display IE in the
  setup, the SIP invite is properly formatted and * receives the
calling
  party name.
 
  Does anyone here have enough experience with ISDN PRI signaling to
  comment with some level of authority on this?
 
 Can you set a ISDN trace from your telco to your switch?  I would be
 curious to see what it looks like.
 
 Again, it looks like your telco's problem.  Your best to ask them to
 through a ThunderBird (T-Bird) on your circuit at your demarc and ask
 them if they see the CallerID, chances are they don't

[Asterisk-Users] options for mysql query from dialplan

2005-08-18 Thread Damon Estep
I am using realtime mysql for extensions, sip, and voicemail.

Outbound call routing does not really perform well in realtime
extensions due to the high number of rows in the database (300k), so I
can not use it. It appears with my limited knowledge that the query
method is not robust enough for large databases.

Given the fact that I already have realtime and mysql configured, what
are my options for running a mysql query from the dialplan to find the
provider I want to use for outbound. 

I am not looking for a complete solution, just a hint on the best way to
query my existing mysql database from the dialplan.

I have looked at the MySQL command, and there are a lot of notes about
connection closing and other scary stuff? Does it work?

Are there other native options given the fact that realtime is
configured and in use?

The goal is to run a query against a database like this

SELECT provideralias FROM ldproviders WHERE npa = (digits 2 thru 4 of
dialed number) AND nxx = (digits 5 thru 7)

Then take the provider alias returned and
Dial(SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],60).

Next step would be to add a loop for multiple providers, starting with
the lowest cost.

Any hints or comments from the pros?

TIA

Damon

Yep, but all the indexing in the world is not going to change the fact
that realtime extensions pulls ALL records in where the context matches,
the priority is 1, and the extension starts with an underscore!

 Hi Damon,
   You are basically doing EXACTLY what we are doing right now; except
we
 are doing more.
 
 We now have an AGI PHP script that does the following for every call:
 
 - Connect to MySQL over LAN
 - If the dialed number begins with 1, strip it.
 - SELECT State FROM lcr_lata WHERE NPA = $dial_npa AND NXX = $dial_nxx
 - Do some PHP logic to determine if Interstate vs Intrastate
 - SELECT rate, address, technology, prefixes FROM lcr_rates
  LEFT JOIN lcr_carriers USING(carrierid)
  WHERE NPA = $dial_npa AND NXX = $dial_nxx
  AND carrier_active = 1 ORDER BY rate ASC;
 - Loop thru results.
 
 lcr_rates has 329,530 rows.
 lcr_carriers has 8 rows.
 lcr_lata has over 150,000 rows.
 
 Everything preforms in real time.
 
 Here is a sample query of a call that just went thru:
 
 SELECT r.Interstate, rc.name, rc.technology, rc.address, rc.prefix
FROM
 lcr_rates r LEFT JOIN lcr_carriers rc ON r.CarrierId = rc.id WHERE
r.NPA
 = '254' AND r.NXX = '463' AND r.active = 1 ORDER BY r.Intrastate ASC,
 r.NPA DESC, r.NXX DESC
 
 Query took 0.0025 sec.
 
 I don't see how your table with 300K rows is preforming worse than
ours.
 You got indexes?
 
 To make this even better, our MySQL server is a Quad P3 500 Mhz
machine.
 
 Works great here.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Voicemail Retrival

2005-08-17 Thread Damon Estep
There is a different approach to this;

Put a priority 'a' in the extension dialplan that goes to
Voicemmailmain(${EXTEN})

Users then dial there own extension from any location and press the *
key once voicemail picks up.

This method seems to emulate what most people are already used to.

If you have a voicemail button on the phone the other method works as
well, you can use both.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] realtime caching

2005-08-17 Thread Damon Estep
  It seems that some options are not re-read when caching is on, for
  example, changing the caller ID value in the sip table has no effect
  until a reload (or expiration), so at least in some cases
rtcahcefriends
  makes realtime notsorealtime.
 
   No. It is doing exactly what it says it will, cacheing. If you
 have
 rtcachefriends turned on, when a peer/user registers the info is
pulled
 from DB and added to the internal (a la 'in memory') list that
chan_sip
 maintains. If you change something in DB after this occurs then your
 changes won't take affect because chan_sip has no need to re-lookup
your
 phones info since the info is already present in memory.
 
   What you can do is use sip prune realtime name to remove
just
 the
 single peer/user from memory. And you can force a reload of that peer
 from realtime by using sip show peer name load.
 
   If you want pure realtime where chan_sip always pulls from db,
then
 turn caching off. Keep in mind that turning caching off will remove
MWI
 and NAT functionality.
 
 -Matthew
 
What would it take (you, $) to add functionality that is a cross between
caching and not, that is it caches with a flag in the extension, so if
the flag is present realtime will be queried even though the extension
is in cache when a new call comes IN TO that extension.

Outgoing calls would not really need a re-query unless something about
the provisioning of the phone changes, at which point it would
re-register anyways, right?

The goal is caching for MWI and NAT but realtime for calling, so the
database is checked on every inbound call in case the dialplan changed,
and the cache updated accordingly.

Maybe a TTL flag, and when the TTL expires the cache entry stays, but is
re-queried when a dialplan match is found. The admin could then tune the
performance by setting different TTLs, maybe 15 minutes for lightly
loaded systems, 4 hours for heavy loaded systems.

Dynamic updates take place in whatever timeframe is specified on the TTL
or less.

Have I missed something, is this functionality already present?

 caching and not, that is it caches with a flag in the extension, so if
 the flag is present realtime will be queried even though the extension
 is in cache when a new call comes IN TO that extension.
 
 Outgoing calls would not really need a re-query unless something about
 the provisioning of the phone changes, at which point it would
 re-register anyways, right?
 
 The goal is caching for MWI and NAT but realtime for calling, so the
 database is checked on every inbound call in case the dialplan
changed,
 and the cache updated accordingly.
 
 Maybe a TTL flag, and when the TTL expires the cache entry stays, but
is
 re-queried when a dialplan match is found. The admin could then tune
the
 performance by setting different TTLs, maybe 15 minutes for lightly
 loaded systems, 4 hours for heavy loaded systems.
 
 Dynamic updates take place in whatever timeframe is specified on the
TTL
 or less.
 
 Have I missed something, is this functionality already present?

I may have answered my own question, is it true that realtime extensions
are still queried every call, and only chan_sip is effected by
rtcachefriends?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and LCR

2005-08-16 Thread Damon Estep
 
 Hello,
 
 How do you guys implement LCR in Asterisk?
 

I have experimented with 2 ways, both seem to have issues and further
testing is taking place now.

Method1, use realtime for extensions and load your routing tables in an
outbound context. Our requirements are LCR for the ~150,000 USA NPA-NXX
combinations, everything outside of that goes through a single carrier
so no routing needed. The performance stinks, takes too long to start
the call. I need to do further testing and see if this is just a MySQL
server (hardware) performance issue or a database structure issue
(missing useful indexes).

The second method is to use #include lcrtableflatfile.conf in extensions
.conf and drop a single outbound context in that file with all of the
routes. This method is far faster completing calls, but the asterisk
reload command takes a long, long, long time (several minutes) to read
the huge file. During the reload calls fail.

Any input from others that have already done what I am doing would be
helpful, what works best?

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

2005-08-16 Thread Damon Estep








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.

Is there a method in SIP to set the CALLING number type to

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and LCR

2005-08-16 Thread Damon Estep
 How about  this:
 
 1. Put all the routes of  all the providers in a MySQL table
 2. Write a script with a 'clever' algorithm to find out cheapest route
of
 each prefix.

Are you saying realtime mysql is not clever? That is exactly what it is
supposed to do.


 3. Based on #2..  make a lcr_cheapest_route.conf
 4. include lcr_cheapest_route.conf in extension.conf

That is what we are doing, 3 minute reloads!
 
 But I don't know, how much resource asterisk will take after loading
 lcr_cheapest_route.conf
 Also, I don't have any idea about the performance would be.
 
 What do you think?
 
 Thanks

  For 100k routes+, you will have trouble holding them in a SQL
database,
  particularly if your route selection query is complex. With a modern
PC
  running PostgreSQL, you'll run into trouble at around 250k BHCA even
 with
  a much smaller number of routes. (This is quite apart from Asterisk
  itself,
  try writing a simple program that runs sample queries in a loop,
perhaps
  with several threads. To a certain extent it depends on how you
write
 the
  query and how judiciously you place indexes on the tables) When you
want
  NPANXX granularity from several carriers (commonly 75-100k routes
each)
  you'll get hit even worse.
 
  In my experience the safe limits of this approach are about a 2x DS3
  worth of traffic with 10,000 routes in the table... After that
you've
 got
  to pull everything into RAM and write a clever route selection
  algorithm...

One of the obvious disadvantages in using Sangoma cards would be
Marksters interest is supporting them, using a TNT right now, and there
are minor caller ID issues.

The whole idea is to use a card offered by the company managing the

What exactly is it? A 4 BRI card in a mini Linux install? Who maintains

[Asterisk-Users] realtime caching

2005-08-16 Thread Damon Estep








Can anyone shed some light on realtime caching?



My desired behavior is that MWI works with realtime
voicemail/sip/extensions AND updates to the database take place on the next
call to the extensions.



Right now I have rtcachefriends=yes, and MWI works, but
updates to the database for a cached user seem to still require a reload.



It is my understating that removing rtcachefriends will
break MWI? Is that true?



Is there a best of both worlds approach? MWI and realtime
updates to extensions?



I have reviewed the info below from the sip.sample.conf, but
I must be dense, still dont get it.





;rtcachefriends=yes ; Cache realtime friends by adding them
to the internal list

 ; just like friends added
from the config file only on a

 ; as-needed basis.

;rtnoupdate=yes ; do not send the update request over
realtime.

;rtautoclear=yes ; Auto-Expire friends created on the fly on

 ; the friend will vanish
from the configuration until requested

We have a web interface where users can update their dialplan online
(not in production yet). The web page modifies the mySQL record.

It seems that some options are not re-read when caching is on, for
example, changing the caller ID value in the sip table has no effect
until a reload (or expiration), so at least in some cases rtcahcefriends
makes realtime notsorealtime.

  That is very dependent on how the call egresses from *, ISDN, POTS,
  SIP,
  ???
  Who are you calling?
 
 
  If I recall correctly it will work when you call another extension
on
  the * box, but the signaling for that info does not exists in
  PRI/T1/POTS, so it is not an * issue if you area calling out, * cant
  get
  the info from the telco, so * cant send it to the phone.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Security and SIP

2005-08-15 Thread Damon Estep
Block sip on a firewall between * and the public internet, and then
create rules for your peers IP range.

This assumes you know the IP that all peers and client use; if not just
block from regions of the world you do not need to connect to/from.

We find that most hack attempts come from one well known region, so we
block the entire IP range routed to that region. 

Also, add noload= for the voip protocols you do not use in modules.conf.

You are far better off even if you do things like limiting the
connections to the ENTIRE ip range of your local Cable/DSL providers.
Prevents folks in the rest of the world from even trying to connect.

Toll fraud is huge, it looks like you have done the basics, but you
should take additional steps many other would call unnecessary since you
will get the bill if someone gets it.

 Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Security and SIP
 
 I've now setup SIP for:
 - internal softphones
 - registering with external providers (like FWD) for making calls
 - receiving calls from theese providers
 
 For the latter step, it was necessary to forward ports from my NAT
 to the asterisk server: 5060 + range of ports mentioned in rtp.conf.
 
 I was just wondering about how to make this setup as secure as
 possible. Here's what I've done so far:
 
 1. defined a default context in sip.conf which cannot access any
 real extension.
 sip.conf:
 [general]
 context=from-unknown-sip
 
 extensions.conf:
 [from-unknown-sip]
 exten = _.,1,CONGESTION
 
 2. for peers, defined a context which does not provide access to
 outside lines.
 
 sip.conf:
 [fwd.pulver.com]
 type=peer
 username=688426
 fromuser=688426
 secret=xx
 host=fwd.pulver.com
 port=5060
 nat=yes
 canreinvite=no
 insecure=very
 context=sip-external
 disallow=all
 allow=ulaw
 
 3. for peers, defined insecure=very which should check that the
 incoming call comes from the same IP as was registered.
 
 4. for internal softphones, which can make outgoing calls,
 limited registrations to a specific network address using
 deny/permit
 
 sip.conf:
 [31]
 type=friend
 callerid=[EMAIL PROTECTED] 31
 host=dynamic
 deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
 permit=192.168.2.32/255.255.255.255
 context=sip-internal
 secret=
 disallow=all
 allow=ulaw
 allow=alaw
 
 Anything else I can do to improve security?
 
 I specifically don't want anyone external to be able to make calls.
 
 As I've opened port 5060 + rtp.conf ports only for the purpose of
 receiving calls from services I have registered with, I don't want
 any external phones to be able to register via this route.
 Is there any risk of this if someone can guess a password (maybe
 unlikely but given time this could happen).
 
 Thanks,
 John

RE: [Asterisk-Users] voicemail - 99 message limit

2005-08-14 Thread Damon Estep

Thanks Luki,

Seems easy enough, does the code look like it would be hard to change
that value from a hard coded value to a global variable which can be
defined in voicemail.conf and overridden for a single mailbox?

I am not a coder so an opinion would be useful.

I have cross posted this to -dev since it seems to be going that route.

Damon


 
 See apps/app_voicemail.c:
 #define MAXMSG 100
 
 Then recompile the app and reload the module (or restart asterisk).

You may be querying the wrong table, because the following fields in your
Select statement do not exit
in the table, voicemail_users, that you created:

 category,
 var_name,
 var_val,
 cat_metric,
 filename,
 commented

Every item mentioned in a Select query must exist in the table that is being

In the example below context2 is included in context3

Is there a way to include context2 in context1, and context1

[Context1]

;sip users with 10 digit extensions

Include = context2



[context2]

;media gateway terminating local 10 digit calls



[context3]

;inbound PRI via media gateway

Include = context1



I have a case where a dialplan is insecure because inbound
calls in context3 can be re-routed back out in context2. Actually, what occurs
is a loop, where the call comes in context3, finds no match in context1,
egresses in context2, and repeats the loop, setting up a lot of calls in a
short period of time!



Extensions in context1 need to be able to reach extensions
in context2



Inbound calls into context3 need to be able to reach
extensions in context1



Inbound calls in context3 MUST be restricted from reaching
extensions in context2 which are outside extensions sent out to a SIP provider.



It would seem more logical and secure if includes did not
cascade, or would not make 2 hops



Perhaps I have failed to understand some simple concept that
would resolve this issue?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] priority a in macro to access voicemail

2005-08-02 Thread Damon Estep
I missed the part of that page that has anything to do with the
question. The portion of the dialplan I posted is a small snipet of a
huge macro, that part that sends you to voicemailmain when * is pressed.

It works, but has a small bug as previously stated;

The behavior is a little weird, the * key is not recognized during the
portion of the greeting where the extension number is being played back,
after it is played back, for the duration of the greeting, the * key is
recognized and works as expected.
 
 
 i think may be you should read this:

RE: [Asterisk-Users] * behind NAT and local subnet

2005-07-15 Thread Damon Estep
Thanks for your help, I think setting the externip breaks non NATd
clients because it mangles the SIP headers by spoofing the source IP of
SIP messages, correct?

I was able to resolve this issue by upgrading the Cisco router IOS to
12.3-15 which apparently does a better job with SIP header NAT.

I have an * box behind a NAT router (static NAT, port ACLs
set up correctly)

Most of the SIP users are on the local subnet with the *
box, they work fine

Take one of the same users off of the local subnet and come
in through the NAT router and these results;



The remote user can register

The remote user can receive calls

The remote user can get into voicemail  not sure why

The remote user can not place calls



The trace shows 407, proxy authentication required

Asterisk shows failed to authenticate user.



This is clearly NAT related as the same user works fine
inside the NAT with no config changes



Is there are a way to connect to an Asterisk server that
sits behind NAT without breaking the ability to connect form the local
non-NATed subnet?

 Subject: [Asterisk-Users] How does Vonage support fax machines?
 
 My boss is insisting we support fax, and I keep telling him that Fax
over
 IP is very unreliable and not recommended and his immediate come-back
is
 Vonage does it. and it's very hard to figure out how.
 
 I don't think Vonage does T.38, the Linksys/Sipura units they're using
 doesn't support T.38 to my knowledge.
 
 That means they have to be using G.711Ulaw to send faxes. But how do
they
 compensate for packet loss/jitter/etc.
 
 In our test lab, the best we could get was 90% success at sending
faxes.
 It seemes to screw up the longer the transmission, ie page 1 was
usually
 ok, but page 2 and 3 and 4 was at serious risk. So if I bought a
Vonage
 adapter, can I send a 30 page fax? My best guess is they have high
quality
 voice T1's, like from an ILEC, usually more expensive, and when they
sell
 a Fax Line I noticed it's more expensive. Maybe they route all their
fax
 calls specifically out these high quality T1's that they own, so that
they
 can do some type of quality control.
 
 My test lab was a private network, a Cisco 3640 connected to a local
voice
 PRI T1, and converting to SIP. Asterisk would push the calls to the
Cisco
 3640 and the Linksys PAP2 would register with Asterisk. All local. I
then
 tried several test faxes throughout the PSTN. Would it be better to
plug
 the voice T1 straight into Asterisk using one of Digium's cards?
 
We relay faxes to/from a PRI connected to * to a fax machine using a
sipura spa-2000 and g.711u. The span between * and the spa-2000 is a
single LAN switch, 100mbit.

While t.38 would be better, it appears to us that g.711u works well on
low latency links, so supporting fax over IP would likely require QoS
implementation on the IP link if there are latency/jitter issues.

Does anyone have Ideas of how to overcome this. 
 
I would love to see someone get this to work! My thoughts in the past are to do a periodic sip show peers and save the data to the standby server in a text file or to a mysql database.The question then becomes how to re-register the peer manually, which I am sure there is an answer for , but I do not have it.If you ever get it working you should post!Other things to consider  voicemail files, MWI status, etc. have you been able to address these issues?

[Asterisk-Users] Disable record busy greeting option in voicemail

I have an application that calls for a single greeting to be used
exclusively in a voicemail box (rather than busy/unavailable).

It is simple enough to implement in the dialplan, but is there a way to
remove the option in the voicemail menu to record the busy greeting
which only serves to confuse users in this scenario?

Look and could not find my answer in the usual spots.

 The SIP dial peer is the main outbound peer for all calls. However, if

Calls into the asterisk box, including non-VoIP remote agents, are via a

It is the same PRI that inbound and outbound calls come in on and go out

If you do a sip show peers I think you will see that your PAP2 setup
registers its port with * as being 5060 on line 1 and 5061 on line 2,
but it stills calls port 5060 on asterisk when it makes the
registration.

I think * is actually listening on the first configured port.

You might get the same results you have now after removing the
port=5061, have you tried

Prepaid, post if this actually works or not in your case where port 5060

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] SIP Listen to multiple ports
   
Hello all
   
I'm trying to get my asterisk config to listen to
multiple
   ports.
 This
is since some clients have port 5060 blocked by their
ISP.
   
Does anyone know how to do this in sip.conf or if it is
even
   supported?
   
Thanks!

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Keeping users, extensions, voicemail and so on in DB

2005-06-14 Thread Damon Estep
Forget about MS SQL, odbc drivers that run on linux to talk to MS SQL
stink Odbc in general stinks.

You might be able to get MS SQL DTS (data transformation services) to
link to the mysql database and present the data as it were in your ms
sql database.

There is a pretty good odbc 3.51 mysql driver for windows, as well as a
.net provider. Both at www.mysql.org.

Mysql is free, * will talk to is using the native TDS

You can run the windows version of mysql on a windows box if you wish,
but why? Faster if it is on the same box as asterisk unless * is heavily
loaded.

I tried the *  realtime  odbc  mssql thing, gave up after having poor
results getting the various ms sql drivers for linux to work right.

our main app uses data in ms sql and mysql and there is a common key in
the data to link accounting data with the * user data for views where
they are both required.

We also use mysql for cdr for billing purposes.

I was much more comfortable with .net ms sql, but the transition and
integration with mysql was easy. Just store the asterisk specific data
in mysql, everthing else in ms sql if you must.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] SIP Listen to multiple ports

2005-06-14 Thread Damon Estep

I just ran a couple of test with CVS Head

Port=5060
Port=5061

Result = chan_sip reports listening on 5060

Port=5061
Port=5060

Result = chan_sip reports listening on 5060 (ignoring port=?)

Port=5061
Result = chan_sip STILL reports listening on 5060

Bindport=5061
Result = chan_sip reports listening on 5061

Bindport=5061
Bindport=5060
Result = istening on 5060

Conclusion - asterisk only listens on one port, and ignores the second
port= or bindport=

If your app is .net get the .net provider for mysql and give it to your
dba/programmer with the docs, he/she will figure it out. No different
than talking to ms sql with .net except you reference a different data

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Should I choose DSL @ 1.5 or a full T1?

2005-06-14 Thread Damon Estep

 Wow!  I never learn so much! Thanks Guys
 
 So if I understand correctly, a full T1 should be 1.5Mbps full duplex.
 And
 it should support 22 SIP Users at once - Right?
 
 Bart
 
 

Probably closer to 20 depending on setup/teardown frequency. This is
only if the line is dedicated VoIP, no other data traffic. Assuming 64k
RTP like g.711

You have to decide how much data and how much voip and define rules on
your router (traffic shaping or priority queuing, etc.) to enforce QoS.

From realtime mysql (extensions) - call the  macro with arguments (where

If not, what about putting the macro in mysql?

Just trying to find a way to reduce the number of db records per

 Subject: [Asterisk-Users] SNOM, Asterisk and Attended transfer (bug?)
 
 Hi,
 
 I am using a number of snom190 phones, and an asterisk gateway
 server, and recently started experimenting with call transfers. The
 snom phones provide support for attended and un-attended call
 transfer, so I would rather use that than call-parking.
 
 I have found that un-attended transfer works fine, and that attended
 transfer works fine if the originating phone call is NON-SIP (ie.
 ISDN)
 
 I hope that some of this makes sense...
 
 When I look at the SIP trace for the sequence of A calls B and is
 transferred to C, I see:
 A makes call to B:
   A calls B
   B picks up
   A and B are bridged (re-INVITEd) and talk directly.
 B then puts A on hold:
   (A and B are both INVITE to talk via Asterisk)
 B makes a call to C, I see:
   B calls C
   C picks up
   B and C are bridged (re-INVITEd) and talk directly.
 B presses transfer:
   (Same as putting B and C on hold, B and C are re-INVITEd to talk via
 Asterisk)
 B selects which line to transfer to C
   B REFERs A to C by asking Asterisk. Asterisk accepts this.
   B is notified that A is disconnected
   B gets BYE for call to A
   B gets BYE for call to C
   C gets INVITE to talk to B via Asterisk  Why? Why not to
'A'
   B requests that call to A is closed down.
 
 The upshot of all this is that B is correctly out of the loop, and
 that Both A and C think they have opened communications with a new
 phone, both via Asterisk. Unfortunately there is no Audio. If one of
 the parties hangs up, the connection is correctly closed.
 
 I am curious why Asterisk would put a From: of B in the final
 INVITE to bridge the calls. Perhaps this is just how SIP spoofs the
 communication so that C does not need to know about the 2 callers?
 
 Is there some way I can track down where my audio is going? As
 mentioned, this problem only seems to occur if A,B,C are all SIP
 phones, but not if A is an ISDN call.
 
 Thanks,
 Steve

Upgrade your snom firmware to the latest and make sure break key = off
in the setup.

Use the transfer feature in asterisk for attended transfers.

1.5 in. a T1 will do 1.5 in and 1.5 out sustained.

This is due to a separate transmit and receive path on a t1 and a shared
path on sdsl.

The s in sdsl means symmetrical, not duplex, that is that the signaling
rate is the same in either direction, but still half duplex.

For VoIP a t1 is worth double what a 1.5 sdsl is because of the duplex
nature of the traffic, unlike most internet that is download-centric.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Should I choose DSL @ 1.5 or a full T1?

2005-06-13 Thread Damon Estep
OK,

You guys have me second guessing my training and experience in this
area, so;

1. If I am wrong I apologize to the group.
2. I have been trying for a few minutes to find confirmation either way.

From what I know about the modulation techniques used by DSL (DMT, CAP,
QAM) it is impossible for the transceiver in the device to transmit and
receive at the same time (unless there is discreet channels for each
path and a very good transceiver).

Does anyone have any definitive technical resources confirming that any
form of xDSL technology can transmit and receive at precisely the same
time (not interleaved).

Can anyone provide a more logical explanation of why the outbound
latency on every DSL modem tested increases with inbound traffic? Even
at rates well below the maximum data rate, Not the case on a T1. My
explanation is that the additional latency is due to packet scheduling
and queuing mechanisms required by the technology.

Maybe I will learn something this evening.

Damon

Are you sure?  Everything I have seen says SDSL = Full Duplex.
That being achieved by dropping the pair that provided voice and using
it for signalling.

Where ADSL utilizes unoccupied frequencies and averts conflict with
analog voice frequencies, SDSL takes over the whole line. SDSL
eliminates analog voice capabilities in favor of full-duplex data
transmission. No splitter, no analog voice-nothing but data. As a decent
alternative to T1, SDSL has gotten a fair amount of attention from
Competitive Local Exchange Carriers.

2005-06-13 Thread Damon Estep
Notice below that the only forms of DSL touted by anyone as replacements
for full duplex 1.544mbps T1 lines is HDSL.

Telcos regularly use HDSL as replacements for traditional DS1 service
wher the line distances are VERY short, in most cases the HDSL circuit
requires 2 pair, in some very short line distance installs it can be
doen with one pair.

HDSL interfaces cost 5 times what typical DSL interfaces cost.

If you could get full 1.544mbps full duplex emulation off of sdsl why is
there no one doing it?

Sure would be a lot cheaper to provision.

Have you ever gotten 22 simultaneous g.711 calls to run on a 1.5mbps dsl
line? (I said 22, not 24, leaving 128kbps for signaling and protocol
overhead).

My experience and testing sets the real would limits to 20 to 21 on a T1
and 10 to 12 on a 1.5M SDSL circuit.

I am not sure that I am that wrong in my original reply, unless there is
someone here with more definitive technical references.

Never one to take on an entire mailing list, I just want to be sure the
next time I spout off about DSL I am certain I know what I am talking
about. Live and learn, right?

Q: What are the various types of xDSL?
  
A: There are several forms of xDSL, each designed around specific goals
and needs of the marketplace. Some forms of xDSL are proprietary,
some are simply theoretical models and some are widely used
standards. They may best be categorized within the modulation
methods used to encode data. Below is a brief summary of some of the
known types of xDSL technologies.

ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is the most popular form
of xDSL technology. The key to ADSL is that the upstream and
downstream bandwidth is asymmetric, or uneven. In practice, the
bandwidth from the provider to the user (downstream) will be the
higher speed path. This is in part due to the limitation of the
telephone cabling system and the desire to accommodate the typical
Internet usage pattern where the majority of data is being sent to
the user (programs, graphics, sounds and video) with minimal upload
capacity required (keystrokes and mouse clicks). Downstream speeds
typically range from 768 Kb/s to 9 Mb/s Upstream speeds typically
range from 64Kb/s to 1.5Mb/s.

ADSL Lite (see G.lite)

CDSL
Consumer Digital Subscriber Line (CDSL) is a proprietary technology
trademarked by Rockwell International.

CiDSL
Globespan's proprietary, splitterless Consumer-installable Digital
Subscriber Line (CiDSL).

EtherLoop
EtherLoop is currently a proprietary technology from Nortel, short
for Ethernet Local Loop. EtherLoop uses the advanced signal
modulation techniques of DSL and combines them with the half-duplex
burst packet nature of Ethernet. EtherLoop modems will only
generate hi-frequency signals when there is something to send. The
rest of the time, they will use only a low-frequency (ISDN-speed)
management signal. EtherLoop can measure the ambient noise between
packets. This will allow the ability to avoid interference on a
packet-by-packet basis by shifting frequencies as necessary. Since
EtherLoop will be half-duplex; it is capable of generating the same
bandwidth rate in either the upstream or downstream direction, but
not simultaneously. Nortel is initially planning for speeds
ranging between 1.5Mb/s and 10Mb/s depending on line quality and
distance limitations.

G.lite 
A lower data rate version of Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
(ADSL) was been proposed as an extension to ANSI standard T1.413 by
the UAWG (Universal ADSL Working Group) led by Microsoft, Intel,
and Compaq. This is known as G.992.2 in the ITU standards
committee. It uses the same modulation scheme as ADSL (DMT), but
eliminates the POTS splitter at the customer premises. As a
result, the ADSL signal is carried over all of the house wiring
which results in lower available bandwidth due to greater noise
impairments. Often a misnomer, this technology is not splitterless
per se. Instead of requiring a splitter at customer premises, the
splitting of the signal is done at the local CO.

G.shdsl
G.shdsl is an ITU standard which offers a rich set of features (e.g.
rate adaptive) and offers greater reach than many current
standards. G.shdsl also allows for the negotiation of a number of
framing protocols including ATM, T1, E1, ISDN and IP. G.shdsl is
touted as being able to replace T1, E1, HDSL, SDSL HDSL2, ISDN and
IDSL technologies.

HDSL
High Bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) is generally used as a
substitute for T1/E1. HDSL is becoming popular as a way to provide
full-duplex symmetric data communication at rates up to 1.544 Mb/s
(2.048 Mb/s in Europe) over moderate distances via conventional
telephone twisted-pair wires. Traditional T1 (E1 in Europe)
requires repeaters every 6000 ft. to boost the signal strength.
HDSL has a longer range than T1/E1 without the use of repeaters to
allow transmission over distances up to 12,000 feet. It uses pulse
amplitude modulation (PAM) on a 4-wire loop.

HDSL2
High Bit-rate Digital

When a call is placed on hold that is not from a queue MOH

The hold is the SIP hold feature on the phone, not a park.



the music on hold is set to default for agents, queues.

  speaking to at the time. He was able to give reference numbers and
  names, (and financial circumstances) so he obviously did hear this
  conversation.
 
  We are running CVS head as of 10 days ago, using TE410p on 32channel
  ISDN primary line.
 
  Has anyone else ever heard of something like this happening ? My
boss is
  going apeshit talking about the DPA (data protection act) and wants
  answers like yesterday. Quite frankly, I have no idea on where to
start
  to look for something like this.

 Not a Telco guru, but I've seen that happen, though it was on an
analog
 line
 here in the states at home. They were wet, or something like that,
 according
 to PacBell. We could hear a neighbor (well, they lived probably 500'
away,
 and
 around a corner) and they could hear us. It kept getting worse to the
 point
 that it was like all 4 people were in a conference call. Initiating a
new
 call
 didn't help.

The user stated that the line is PRI ISDN, not likely to be a physical
short as that would take the digital line out, not produce crosstalk,
had to be a switching issues with the telco or *, or user (agent) error.

 We have 10 incoming POTS lines to our offices, and a nortel norstar
 pbx.  I've been looking at replacing it with * at some point in the
 future, and the point that looks most cost effective is when we move
 to PRI.
 
 Problem is, I'm not really sure how to go about getting a good deal,
 or what questions to ask.  90% of calls will be inbound.  I called up
 Qwest and they quoted me $800 month.  I haven't called up any CLEC's
 yet to see what they can do.
 
 Any suggestions?  We are in Seattle, Washington.

A word of caution, we ran that same setup

 They will if google keeps getting the content from this list.  The
 problem would be that people on a google group say something that may
 help people here and we dont see it.
 
 I have a problem with what happened last night in relation to the
google
 groups.  Google sent out emails to a couple different lists I am on
(and
 an unknown quantity of lists I am not on) saying that the list is not
 subscribed to google groups.  This is blatent spam from a company I
used
 to respect and like.
 
 Googles refusal to fix the 302 redirect problem which has caused their
 search results to be less accurate and now basically hijacking mailing
 lists on a one sided basis is further cause for concern.  By feeding
the
 content of lists into their database to get people to goto their
webpage
 and start threads there that are not shared with the list means its a
 fork of the list and creates less info sharing.  Its a good idea that
 was poorly implemented.
 
 
  I can not imagine how you would sync them, that would only result in
a
  circular posting nightmare.
  ___
 
 google could do it if they wanted.  They obviously have a subscription
 to the list or they wouldnt be able to get them.  Well not obviously,
 they could be going to gmane or other mail - NNTP services that
already
 exist.
 
 If google did subscribe to the list to get content from the list, they
 could easily post to the list as well.  Although authentication may be
 an issue if a list is 'closed' and google tries to insert the email
 address supplied via their webpage.
 
 Regardless google could easily filter it so it only sends to the list
 what is entered via a webpage and not everything it gets in its
'inbox'.
 That would be an ideal solution so there is effectively not two
 repositories of information, one on google and the list which would
 effectively a subset of the information on their list.
 
 I do have some other issues with google groups, right after Sept 11,
 2001 google decided to delete many posts that were in their groups.
 These were '911 propechy posts'.  If they will delete for that reason,
 and keep it silent that they did it as well as why, what would prevent
 them from say not putting this post up because its not in googles best
 interest?  What would prevent them from putting up other posts that
have
 valid information in them just because google does not want people to
be
 able to see the information?
 
 But now I am just ranting and I have to fix the ram in this system so
I
 will leave this issue alone.

[Asterisk-Users] Local Number Ports

2005-04-07 Thread Damon Estep
Anyone out there (in the US) using a CLEC to do third party local number
ports? Let me be more specific;

Our inbound calls come in via inbound only PRIs from a local CLEC, our
outbound calls go via SIP termination to a  wholesale VoIP carriers
softswitch.

On the inbound numbers we use the carrier of record is the CLEC that we
buy the PRI from, not us.

When we bring a number on to our system via local number portability the
number is actually ported to the CLEC that provides us the wholesale
PRI.

This is know as a third party LNP.

Anyone doing it now?

The real questions is what are you paying per number port? We have no
reference for what this should cost and therefore do not know if the
proposed rate is competitive and fair.

Any input appreciated.

Under what type of relationship? Are you a CLEC, ITSP, or Retail
Customer? Is the local carrier you mention the incumbent or a CLEC?

Thanks
 
 
 One of our local carriers charges 17 cents per ported DID MRC, no
port/non
 recurring charges.
 
 I've seen in the neighborhood of $15 per 10 ported numbers as an LSR
 charge from other carriers NRC.. and as low as 5 cents MRC per Month.
 
 I've also seen cases with no MRC per DID per month, but an NRC per
number.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] D Channel Becoming CORRUPTED?

2005-04-05 Thread Damon Estep
 
 Hi,
 This is not entirely an asterisk question but I figure someone
 here may know the answer to this question.
 On several occassions we will lose the ability to use one of our
 PRI lines well for our phone system anyway (we also sometimes
 lose PRIs on some of our access equipment, etc).   After much trouble
 shooting I finally decide to reset the PRI (unplug it and plug it back
 in).  This seems to fix the issue... both on the * server, as well as
 on our Cisco access equipment.
 The explination the phone company has given is that perhaps the D
 channel is becoming corrupted and needed to be reset.  This sounds
 like a cop-out to me.  Any thoughts?   Shouldn't I be able to expect
 my PRI lines to run 100% without the need for a line reset?

My experience has been that a provider will not fix a problematic DS1
until you identify (or help hem identify) an error condition on the
line.

The problems you describe are most likely caused by a high bit error
rate on the lines.

With very high bit error rates a device can lose sync with the line.

Make sure you do not have configuration errors on your equipment,
because the line does work at times, It is safe to assume you are
configured at least partially correct, but make sure you pay close
attention to where you are getting your timing from. In most cases a CPE
device should use the line for timing.

Call your Telco and tell them you would like to have at monitor placed
on all of your T1s for a couple of days with a report of the bit error
rate given to you at the end of the monitoring window.

Ask them up front what an acceptable bit error rate is and hold them to
it.

You did not specify what card you terminate the * PRI with, but the
Cisco device should have counters where you can see the error counts,
try show interface and show controller in the privileged exec mode on
the Cisco CLI.

mandates 911/E911 for VoIP in Canada







For those of you out there that are Canadian or otherwise
interested. The CRTC (Canadian equivalent of FCC) has released its ruling
on 911/E911 for VoIP providers. In a nutshell it requires all service
providers that offer a fixed native exchange service to provide E911 within 90
days and all service providers offering either fixed foreign exchange or nomadic
service to offer Basic 911 within 90 days.











Here are the links:

Anyone
does not think the US FCC will not rule the same way in a matter of time is
hiding from the truth, and anyone deploying * in an ITSP manner without
budgeting and planning for 911 services is in for a big financial surprise.

As of
now (that I am aware of) * has not method of querying a selective router for
the 10 digit number of the local PSAP. Our solution at this time is;

Establish
a relationship with the local ANI/ALI database maintainer that allows you to
update location records for TNs that have been assigned or delegated to you,
even if the numbers have been delegated by an upstream LEC or CLEC. There is a
fee for this service.

Route
all 911 calls via PRI TDM circuits to a LECs or CLECs switch that already has
the ability to query the selective router and route the call to the correct 10
digit PSAP number. A fee applies here too.

At some
point it will be necessary to build code into * that allows it to query the ALI
databases directly over IP or TDM, IP will likely be the solution. When that
times comes we will be happy to join in on the developers bounty as we can
afford to contribute, but do not have the skills to write the code ourselves.

Intrado
has already built an interface that allows these queries to take place over IP,
so it would just be a matter of getting an NDA executed with them, obtaining a
copy of the specification, and writing the app that queries the selective
router for the correct 10 digit TN when 911 is dialed. See www.intrado.com (no affiliation)

 Hi,
 
 I've seen these Linksys wireless routers with an ATA already built in
 (Both
 for ATT and Vonage) at staples.  I was wondering if anybody has one,
and
 has been able to configure one of them for asterisk?  Is the ATA
portion
 of
 the router locked or can you just go into the router's webadmin
pages
 and
 configure the ATA portion similiar to the way you configure the router
 portion?
 
  Thanks,
- Andre
 
Andre,

Before you waste you time and money, consider this;

1. The ATA built into all of the Linksys voice products are simply
Sipura SPA2000's, no function difference, licensed from Sipura by
Cisco/Linksys. The router model just redirects 1 ethernet port to the
internal SPA 2000 and hard codes QoS to that port. That is why there is
only 3 Ethernet ports on the router instead of the customary Linksys 4.

2. If you really want the Linksys, you have to be an ITSP and go through
the correct authorization with Linksys to buy an unprovisioned version.

3. The vonage / ATT units are locked, and I have no knowledge of anyone
successfully unlocking them without the magic code.

4. Even if they could be unlocked, you are better off going legit, buy a
SPA 2000 and a WRT54G, plug the spa2000 into a port on the router, and
set the QoS priority on that port. Viola, you have the same
functionality, with a warranty and support!

I see that the latency on the list is resulting in duplicate posts! Well
here is a duplicate reply to go with it.
