It appears that this has been fixed on the SPA-942 but not the 941.
Hopefully that will come soon.  Thanks.

Hi,

 

I too have found this matching to be frustrating.  I would like it to

Subject: [asterisk-users] asterisk sip peer/user matching methods
forauthentication backwards?

 

Take an example where there is two sip users defined in sip.conf as
follows;

 

[peer1]

Host=192.168.1.1

...

 

[peer2]

Host=dynamic

Secret=password

...

 

[Peer3]

Config not relevant

...

 

The intention is to accept calls from peer1 without authentication (ip
address authentication only), but require authentication from peer2

 

If by chance a SIP invite comes From [EMAIL PROTECTED] (where the name
peer2 on the calling server coincidentally matches a defined sip user on
the called asterisk server)  To [EMAIL PROTECTED], Asterisk will
attempt to authenticate the caller peer2 rather than accepting the
call based on the fact that it came from a trusted Ip address defined
for peer1. Since peer1 is trusted it is not sending credentials and will
have its invite rejected with a 407 proxy authentication required when
it fails to authenticate as peer2.

 

This logic seems backwards to me, the IP address should be matched
first, and if there is no statically defined user with that IP address
the username should be matched next. This would insure that all calls
from the trusted IP address are accepted regardless of whether there is
coincidently a SIP user with a matching name defined on the target
asterisk server.

 

So rather than looking for a match in this order;

 

1.  name portion of From URI in the invite (host in the URI
[EMAIL PROTECTED]).
2.  ip address statically assigne for a user

 

it should look in this order;

 

1.  statically defined sip user ip addresses
2.  name portion of the From URI

 

Can anyone shed any light on this, or suggest a workaround so 407's are
not sent if the invite from header happens to have the same name
portion of the URI as a defined sip user on the target asterisk server ?

I don't know if you have used a BT but this isn't a phone that I would
put in my garage much less my office.  Poor sound quality, lousy
display and a horrible interface.  If you want something cheap to
prove that VoIP actually works, then sure.  If you plan to use it to
talk to someone, then look elsewhere.

Some other quick notes:

Aastra 480i works pretty well.

Sipura SPA-841 isn't much of a phone.

Linksys SPA-921  941 work pretty well but suffer from occasional
lockups and spontaneous reboots (latest firmware).

Linksys WIP-300 is crap.

Hey, I never thought of that.  One thing to check:  I always assumed
(but never checked) that you couldn't dial until the stutter stopped,
and it gave you the normal dial tone.  Is this true?  If so, it will
be very confusing when you try to dial when you have voice mail.

Just a configuration management note.  The normal (and safe) practice

The echo is probably always there.  You only notice it with the SIP

I think you may be misunderstanding this a bit.  Disconnect
supervision is a PSTN issue not a SIP issue.  Presumably your problem
occurs because the caller hangs up and the telco doesn't signal this
to you in a timely fashion.  Therefore your device doesn't go on hook
and it doesn't tear-down the SIP session.

No restrictions on what can go into the project as a result of trying

All I can do is sympathize.  The same problem occurs when a call comes
in through Asterisk, gets sent to SER, then comes back to Asterisk 20
seconds later for voicemail.

I have contemplated just commenting out the check in chan_sip.c, but I
haven't tried this.  Not sure if this might cause other problems.

Asterisk has many SIP deficiencies.  Asterisk has been built as a
monolithic PBX, and it seems to do okay using SIP phones as channels.
If you want Asterisk to simply act as a SIP UA, you are going to run
into a whole slew of problems.  I'm not holding my breath waiting for
this to change.

 If you turn on debugging what you'll see is that the Sipura has
 mistakenly detected a DTMF code in the audio stream and is relaying it
 by repeating the signal (very loudly I might add)
 
 So this appears to be a bug in the most current firmware. I've
 reported it to Sipura including the debug output. Maybe more people
 should do the same.

You'd think that switching to RFC2833 DTMF would fix that.

That is actually the problem.  It thinks it hears DTMF so it sends an
out-of band signal.  The other end receives this and produces the
audible tone.

Switching to in-band fixes it.  Well, works around it. :)

the X100P were modified to do this in hardware?  Go ahead and let it
balance the circuit if that is necessary, but then not introduce any
of the outgoing signal onto the incoming circuit.

I believe that some high-end hardware does this.  The ADIT 600 claims
to.  I wish that the X100P did, as we have three that we are unable to
use due to echo.

Ed Rubright [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I'm thinking about getting the Plantronics DSP-400 headset for use with
Xlite softphone.  I currently have a analog headset that does NOT have a
DSP on board, which gives me mediocre call quality and echo when talking to
the PSTN thru my X100P card.  I have zero echo when talking thru my X100P on
my cordless phones attached to the Digium TDM400P.

Before I got spend the money I was wondering if others using USB headsets
with a DSP and getting good results?  My thought was thought by using a
headset with a DSP on board the echo would go away?

Probably not.  The echo is occurring on the PSTN.  You can't hear it
through the TDM400P because the latency is so low that you don't
notice it.  When you move to VoIP, the extra latency lets you notice
the echo.

You need to eliminate this echo at your connection to the PSTN.  That
means trying to cancel it using the Zap options for this.  We didn't
have much luck doing this for our X100Ps.  It appears that the echo is
actually being caused on our local loop.  Probably an impedance
mismatch between the X100P and the line.  This occurs on three
different CO lines with three different X100Ps, at two different
sites.

We have ordered a Mediatrix SIP/PSTN gateway.  Hopefully this will
solve the problem.  We will probably stick the X100Ps in a closet
somewhere to keep dust off the shelf.

[Asterisk-Users] ADSI and a SIP ATA

2004-03-05 Thread Doug Meredith
We are interested in deploying some ADSI phones, but we are currently
using Sipura SPA-2000s.  Everything I read on ADSI, says that it is
just audio, and you don't need a special channel bank or anything like
that.

But what about through the SPA?  I notice that zapata.conf appears to
have an option to turn on ADSI support.  This makes me think that it
won't work with any other channel.

I searched the mailing list, but the only thing I could find was from
Oct. 2002, at there was no definitive answer.

Anybody know if it will work?

You want to set a timeout and then on timeout (t extension, I think)

[Asterisk-Users] What technology could my phone company be using?

2004-01-21 Thread Doug Meredith
I live in New Brunswick Canada.  The phone company is Aliant.  When
you set up business service here, you can go with either analog or
digital lines.  This isn't a T1 or ISDN.  They are talking individual
lines direct to handsets that they provide.  They offer the digital
option with even very small ( 2 - 4) number of lines.

What technology could this be?  Is there any way to connect such a
line to Asterisk?  PBX vendors that I have talked to in the past say
that we can bring the Aliant digital lines straight into their PBX.
We would like to do this with Asterisk, but can't figure out what the
technology is.  (ever try to get technical info from the phone
company?)

I have searched the web and the archives, but can't figure out what
the technology could be.  It can't be T1, because these lines come
direct to handsets.  I don't believe it can be BRI because each phone
has only a single line, and the price seems to low.

If anyone can shed any light on this, it would be very much
appreciated.

Stephen R. Besch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

As far as I know, it doesn't. The POE source somehow monitors the line 
(using impedance, etc) to determine if there is anything connected to 
the pairs used to supply power. Since netcards and net connected 
equipment are not supposed to use the power pairs, this should work in 
most cases. If the termination just leaves them unconnected the 
impedance is infinity and power will not be applied. Conversely, if the 
termination are all grounded, impedance is (near) 0 and power will not 
be applied.  For some range of impedances in between, the far end is 
assumed to require power and power will be applied.

So a reasonable (cheap!) alternative would be to only plug devices
that need PoE into it, and have it always provide power.

I am guessing DSL to a hybrid box like one of the ones from ZHONE that

This box could be at your demarc much like you would have your T1
modem (T1 is actually delivered over HDSL on a single pair, and then the
modem box splits it out onto the the familiar tx and rx pairs)

In this case the handsets could be either analog or isdn depending what
flavour box they provide.

They could also be just giving you an adsl circuit, and a dumb modem/hub,
and providing unique ips to IP phones that you happen to plug in, but
there would not be any network connection to the internet, just to their
voip headend at the CO.

I think this technology pre-dates DSL and maybe even ISDN.  It is also
deployed in large organizations with hundreds of phones.  I think they
use this for Centrex.  It seems to use RJ-11 connectors and flat
wires, if this means anything to anyone.  I believe the phones are
Nortel.

Sounds like Centrex services, we had it from Telus in Alberta a few years ago.

I believe this is used for Centrex.  I thought Centrex was basically a
CO-hosted PBX.  Is it also a local-loop technology?  Are there PCI
cards or SIP gateway boxes available?

My setup is as follows:

Handset - Sipura SPA 2000 - Asterisk - VoicePulse

and

Handset - Sipura SPA 2000 - Asterisk - Digium X100P - POTS

I notice when making VoicePulse calls (but *not* POTS calls through the 
X100P) that there is significant popping and clicking on the line.  
This isn't enough to interfere seriously with the call, and the voice 
quality is otherwise telephone quality.  People I'm calling to don't 
report hearing the pops and clicks on their end.

I'm looking for advice as to how to best diagnose this problem.

Interesting.  Last night I placed a call:

Budetone 102 - Asterisk - VoicePulse

I periodically noticed  pop/click followed by a brief silence.  The
person I was speaking to couldn't hear this.
