[asterisk-users] Nokia E60/61/70 and SIP
Hi list, Just wondering -- has anyone used the SIP phone feature on the Nokia E60/61/70 phones? We're trying to see if this would be an OK phone to get for the company, particularly since we're already running Asterisk. Not asking for a review of the phone, but rather how well the built-in SIP client works.

Twice on this particular card I've seen all ports simply stop receiving incoming calls. There is no other indication of this, however. I am able to place outgoing calls just fine, and call other extensions without issue. When someone calls in, the line just rings and rings, with no indication that the card even sees the calls. I'm not even sure where to begin looking into this. Could anyone give me some pointers as to what I might need to be looking for? Did this just happen, e.g. was your system working fine before? Does it happen randomly, or have you seen any indication of a pattern of behavior?

Re: [asterisk-users] DTMF detection and Sangoma cards
Christopher Snell wrote: Hi, I posted earlier about Call parking breaks suddenly. I believe that I have narrowed this down to a problem with DTMF detection and the Sangoma A101 card that we use. Earlier, DTMF detection was not working at all. Then, I set 'relaxdtmf=yes' in zapata.conf and it works...sort of. When I call into the PBX from a digital desk phone, Asterisk is able to detect the agent's DTMF and parks the call as requested. However, if I dial in from my cell phone, the agent's DTMF is not detected and the caller (me) hears the DTMF on the lines. Does anybody have any ideas? We've been running a Sangoma A104 at a client site for the past 12 months without any DTMF issues whatsoever, neither from the inbound nor the outbound side. That unit's connected to a multitude of analog and IP phones, as well as a large legacy PABX behind the * box. Some numbers on the PRIs are provisioned to hit a lengthy IVR menu tree, so I know the DTMF works. Bear in mind it's running much older versions of Asterisk, Zaptel and libpri. Are you only having this problem for call parking? Any issues when the caller is navigating an IVR?

This will only work if you're in the US though, and your mileage may vary. 2. An unelegant approach without using backgrounddetect would be to set it up like so: - playback a prompt that asks user to press a key to accept the call - only deliver the audio payload once user has pressed a key You could also tinker with #2 to cater for scenarios where you've hit a voicemailbox, e.g. after two/three loops of the first prompt just deliver the message anyway and hope it gets recorded in the callee's mailbox.

Has anyone else had stability issues with the digium 4 port cards? Kyle, While my reply probably doesn't help you any, I just want to say that I've been experiencing the same sort of problem. I've got a TE410P on a server with an Intel SE7210TP1-E Entry level server motherboard; we're connecting the card to four Rhino T1 channel banks. I'm also experiencing the random crash issue, albeit perhaps not as frequent. Some symptoms: - server hangs and is generally bogged down. Even when I'm at the console in front of the server typing one key on the keyboard takes 4-5 seconds to get a response - random noise, echo and badness starts to appear on the phones connected to the channel banks. This is because something's eating up the CPU processing power and the server isn't able to service the 1k interrupts the zap card requires One of the things I've had to do, as a jerry-rig type of fix is to have Asterisk restart every day at 3am. This has lengthened the duration in-between server crashes, but isn't really a good solution. What we're going to do is to scrap the TE410 and use Sangoma's A104 card. In the same installation, we've got a server (same _identical_ specs as the one above) with one A104 -- two incoming PRIs and two outgoing to an Avaya PABX. This one has not crashed since it went into production last august. This is probably just a rant, but I thought you'd like to know that you're not the only one struggling with the TE410 cards. Hope you'll be able to get your setup fixed soon, good luck.

Now when I dial an extension associated with a SIP phone connected to Box A, upon leaving voicemail I get in the following: -- x=0, open writing: /mnt/nfs/123/INBOX/msg0004 format: wav49, (nil) Mar 21 17:28:18 WARNING[8576]: app.c:706 ast_play_and_record: Error creating writestream '/mnt/nfs/123/INBOX/msg0004', format 'wav49' Mar 21 17:28:18 WARNING[8576]: app_voicemail.c:787 base_encode: Failed to open log file: /mnt/nfs/123/INBOX/msg0004.wav: No such file or directory -- Executing Hangup(Zap/5-1, ) in new stack Browsing through previous posts and other resources led me to believe there was a permissions problem on the shared folder. As an extreme measure for testing purposes I've chmoded 777 the /mnt/nfs directory and all its contents, but the same problem persists.

Take a look at some of the examples and you'll be surprised how quickly you can come up with a workable app. It's as easy as: if (event instanceof NewChannelEvent) { /* Change icon color from green to red */ } else if (event instanceof HangupEvent) { /* Change the icon color from red to green */ } The filtering bit is kind of done for you there so you won't have to muck around with parsing what is thrown back at you by *.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Sangoma A200 error
Mike Clark wrote: snip Have you called Sangoma's tech support number? I just implemented the same card about two weeks ago and really didn't have any installation issues using fc3 and trunk, however their documentation is a little on the rough side. Install info seems to be a little in one file, a little in another, etc, and it assumes the reader has the same level of skills/knowledge as the Sangoma writer. If your cards are not fully populated with modules, then the placement of the modules does matter. Because we weren't sure of exact ordering of modules when we put them in place, I ended up having to configure channels 1-2, and 5-8 in zaptel.conf and zapata.conf. Also, we got some of the earliest production cards and had to upgrade the firmware from version 4 to version 5 for the hardware echo cancellation support. A couple of other pointers: 1. Each A200 card will occupy 24 channels. So if you have two A200 boards, the first one recognized will have zap channels 1-24, and the second one will have 25-48. This is true even if you only have one module on each card. So if you have 2 FXO ports on each card, your zaptel.conf will look like: fxsks=1-4 fxsks=25-28 2. If you plug in any of the remoras (the expansion boards) into an A200, you'll need to plug in the power supply, EVEN IF you are _not_ using any FXS modules. For those moving from Digium TDM400 to Sangoma, this can be tricky. Took a while to figure that one out. 3. For those running hotplug, you might have some issues with the A200 (as with the rest of the AFT cards). Make sure to disable hotplug before you load up the wanpipe drivers One thing I've noted is that starting up the wanpipe drivers take about 10 seconds or so. Kind of long compared to the wctdm drivers. However, their engineer has mentioned that this is due to some debug/initialize code during the driver load process, which will be phased out as things start to stabilize.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Maximizing audio quality
Wolfgang Borgon wrote: A RAW file I created after converting from MP3 and WAV, sounded raspy. Does anyone have any tips for creating the best quality voice recordings? Generally you'd use a good-quality microphone for your recordings. The adage Garbage in = garbage out couldn't be more true in this instance. If you're looking for studio-quality recordings, use studio-quality equipment. Those $5 mics won't be satisfactory :) Then there's issues of sibilance, which isn't that apparent when you're recording at a higher rate, but is really pronounced when you downsample to 8k for the GSM files. The raspiness you encountered was probably sibilance, where words that have the ess sound in them are boosted due to the position of the microphone relative to the person being recorded. If you're going the budget route, at least get a decent quality sound card to record with. Another important factor to consider is your recording location -- try and record in as quiet a place as you can find. Some audio processing software (Goldwave, Audacity et al) have filters that can knock out background noise, alter volume, apply equalization etc. You can use these effects to enhance the recording. But again, if your original recording already sounds bad there's not much you can do to make it sound nice.

[Asterisk-Users] Clicks, pops and noise
Hi all, I've got a TE410p connected via T1 to four channel banks (2 FXO and 2 FXS), no PRIs. Some users are complaining that they hear clicks and pops on the FXS lines, generally when they pick up the phone it's noisy. This happens only after a while, e.g. after a fresh restart of everything, all is fine but after some time these noises start appearing. From what I've read on the list, this could be down to frame slips or some problem due to synchronization. Since there's no incoming PRI to sync to, this means everything needs to be internally clocked. Could it be the internal clock source on the card has gone wonky? Or is something else in the server screwing up the clock signal? Anyone else experienced this when connecting four channel banks to the TE410?

You're mistaking group for callgroup. Zap example: group=1 channel=1-24 this means when you do a Dial(Zap/g1) phones 1 to 24 would all ring.

Don't know whether that one ever made it to the market or not, but I read a review on c|net about another upcoming model, the A910. The A910 is Linux-based, and offers WiFi on top of GSM, GPRS and Bluetooth. You can see the picture at http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handphones/0,39001713,39094707p,00.htm? Looks like it also has color screen, but not much other specs listed yet.

I am wondering if someone could enlighten me a little as to the advantages and disadvantages to using AMP as opposed to the do-it-yourself Asterisk? Is this documented someplace? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. AMP and others of the same ilk: Pros - web-based - some apps provide a graphical approach, e.g. Flash Operator Panel - abstracts most of the complexities into point-and-click interfaces - easier to manage, up to a certain point Cons - you're forced to work within the constraints of the application - can't simply modify the config files - some restrictions when you want to do complicated stuff with the dialplan - complex constructs hand-rolled into the dialplan may screw up the app - certain features not included - some apps don't work with Zap interfaces, for example - harder to integrate custom modules Do-it-yourself approach: Pros - highest level of flexibility in implementing your * box - add your own custom modules - complex dialplan constructs - won't have to run more services than necessary (no need for Apache etc) - forces you to learn more about the internals Cons - lots of editing text files - prone to typos - dialplan programming can be tedious - forces you to learn more about the internals My 2 cents.

If all 10 called your land line at the same time, only one will get through and the rest gets the busy signal. There will be variations to this, depending on if you've got value added stuff like call waiting etc on the landline. Also, could this work with outgoing calls? If this DOES work, can anyone explain how it works? Would what work? Ten outgoing calls at once? If that's what you mean, then the answer would be not likely :) More importantly, at what point does the analog line move to the VOIP line, and how is the connection maintained? It would depend on how you've got the stuff set up. You didn't mention if the VoIP line was internal or incoming from a VoIP provider. Is your question really How does the incoming VoIP call get through to my (analog) extension or How does the internal VoIP call go out through my landline?

Thanks I'm not sure about Fedora, but we're running SuSE 9.1 with the 2.6 kernel and have not had any problems with the TDM cards.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] BRI only 2 calls

All the zttool and zttest shows its up and working Can this be a Telecoms provider problem please advice Thanks altus erm.. do you have all the lines plugged in to the card? I'm assuming you've got four BRI lines.. it sounds like only one is plugged in, hence only allowing you to have 2 simultaneous calls... flynn ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Group Extension
Edgar de Leon wrote: Hello, i got a question, i need to create a group extension, to make calls to 6 sw phones, but i need to know if asterisk can do help me to get a unique number and check what extension has received less calls than the others, and pass the new call. We got a call center and want to know if we can distribute the calls depending in what extension is available and from the extensions that are available pass the call to the operator that has answered less calls, can i do this with *? can i get statistics from the use for an extension? can anybody help me?? it sounds like you're wanting to use asterisk's call queueing capabilities. look at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+call+queues for more info. Especially look at the Strategies section on that page, which has a fewestcalls strategy, which basically rings the extension which has taken the fewest calls to date. flynn ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Monitor calls timeout
jurgen wrote: snip Problem is, Asterisk times out and disconnects after 10 seconds, stopping the recording. If I run something else in the context, say the infamous Monkey Sounds, everything's fine, and the call just keeps going, annoying the people on the line with monkey sounds. For some reason, the *monitoring* always stops after 10 seconds. did you try setting using AbsoluteTimeout in the context? e.g. exten = s,1,Answer exten = s,2,AbsoluteTimeout(0) exten = s,3,Monitor(wav,testrecod,m) I also once had a problem where my TDM400P card thought the far end had disconnected even though the two parties were still talking to each other. It was happening after roughly a minute and 40 seconds into the call. Setting busydetect=no and callprogress=no in zapata.conf helped a bit, although I suspect it might actually had something to do with the phone line itself.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Processing incoming calls with multiple contextst over PRI
Jason Brown wrote: So I have a problem. A customer of mine wants a PBX, owns an office building. I want to sell him on asterisk. He has 4 tenants. I am using my asterisk box to simulate it. My asterisk box has a TDM400P card, not a PRI card. Don't know if it makes any difference. snip Just a guess about your problems, but if you have a PRI line incoming, wouldn't you need to connect it to a PRI card and not the TDM400P (which is for analog POTS lines)??

Re: [Asterisk-Users] how to stop ringing after congestion.
Jon Gabrielson wrote: When there are no zap channels available, I signal congestion using the following: exten = _9NXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}}) exten = _9NXX,2,Playtones(congestion) exten = _9NXX,3,Congestion The congestion sound plays correctly, but the ringing continues in the background. Why is it still ringing and how do I make it stop? try exten = _9NXX,3,Congestion(5) which will stop the tones after 5 seconds. flynn ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
