[asterisk-users] Sip from ip address

2010-09-23 Thread Geraint Lee
Is there a way to specify which IP address to originate calls from in a peer
on sip.conf?

I need to send calls from 10.1.3.10 which is a routed network through
openvpn, but it's using 10.39.0.10 which is a vpn IP address - the asterisk
box is the same box as the vpn bridge for the 10.1.3.0/24 network. I can't
set the host as 10.39.x.x as it is dynamic.

i can't change bindaddr since i need to be able to receive connections from
the external ip address as well as the internal address - unless there's a
way to specify 2 ip's to use?

For now i will use friend with a dynamic host instead of peer, but would
prefer to use peer without having to use username and passwords.

Cheers

Geraint

Re: [asterisk-users] Sangoma A108 PCIe V2.0

i suppose that depends on the number of eggs and baskets you have... but i'm
guessing not many of either since you're considering using a desktop board
for this...

but, email sangoma support, they will tell you.

  And we want to use 3 such cards in this motherboard because it has 3

  Is this a good idea ? Do you have any experience with multiple A108

  Any comments will be helpful.
 
 Lot of eggs in one basket!

Re: [asterisk-users] CDR on Transfer...

2010-08-27 Thread Geraint Lee
to get accurate cdr's i just use a border server to send every call
through that logs cdr... doesn't matter how many times it gets transferred
internally the border server still gets accurate records of the whole
call.

 You can set a TRANSFERCONTEXT. In that context you can try to use
 ForkCDR and its companions to get the records right. If you come up with
 a setup which acts perfectly no matter the scenario I would be happy to
 hear about it.

 Note that TRANSFERCONTEXT is not invoked when the phone does a SIP
 redirect before the call is answered, AFAIK.

 Notice that it's been a long time since I battled with this part of
 Asterisk, and I didn't check that I remembered correctly.

 This will all be a lot more sane with Channel Event Logging in 1.8.x,
 but at that point you need to run mediation before you get CDR's you can
 use for billing.

 LOL, I hate to say this but writing an AGI script just adds yet
 another application layer to your total solution. OP, if you'd like to
 figure out WHY that was happening instead of abandoning the ship, I'd
 be glad to work with you to discover the cause. I've been using the
 MySQL Addon since the early days of ViaTalk back when 1.4 was still
 trunk code and the ARA was considered VERY experimental. I've never
 come across a problem with it that I couldn't figure out within a day
 so long as I stepped back and worked the logical path model of
 problem solving...

 Drop me a line, I think that I can figure it out within 20 questions
 and maybe a peek at a log ;-)

i do this by having 2 peers setup, one has a call limit of 10 and uses g729,
the rest of the calls get sent to the second peer which uses ulaw.

all calls attempt peer 1 if there's channels available it uses it if not it
just moves through the dialplan to use the second one.

Re: [asterisk-users] Allowing multiple callers to join a public speaking session...?

2009-09-02 Thread Geraint Lee
MeetMe agreed, but depending on how many people you expect to be listening,
i think you can do this on a virtual server with minimal bandwidth, you
can probably do this very very cheaply, or even find someone that will host
it for free since it's non profit, unless of course you're talking about
hundreds of people listening... but for ~20 i don't think it will cost too
much at all, and i'm talking not much in the non profit sense, so i don't
think you'd need hundreds... one of the servers i manage costs £40/month
(1and1) which is currently handling over 100 calls with no complaints at
all, so you should certainly be able to get something much cheaper than
that, and i'm sure i've seen ISPs doing free services for non profit
organisations in the past.

 Hi All,

 As is obvious by my joining the list, I'm interested in learning more about
 Asterisk.  I have downloaded the PDF manual (for version 1.4) and am
 beginning to go through it.  What I'm looking for in the short-term,
 however, is a more concise reference for common Asterisk configurations and
 setups.

 I currently have a non-profit client to which I am donating work.  They are
 looking to allow callers to listen in to public speaking sessions.  They
 currently have a single phone line with call waiting and are using an
 archaic one-person switch to then allow folks to call-chain via 3-way
 calling.  What they want is basically a switchboard that allows multiple
 people (5 to 10) to call in at a time of their choosing and begin listening
 to the in-progress session.

 My first question would be:  Is Asterisk the proper tool for this job (or
 is there something else you'd recommend)?  A follow-up question would be:
 What kind of cost is involved in a small setup of this nature?

 Your input is much appreciated.

 Best,

 Michael

Asterisk is perfectly capable of it, your limiting factor will be bandwidth
if you want to do it in-house... you'll obviously need enough bandwidth for
all of your callers to be able to hear... unless of course you'll be using
real phone lines, in which case you'll need to buy the appropriate
hardware for your phone lines.

On another note... have you considered using a simple shoutcast setup
instead? There will be a way (many ways probably) to hook this in with
asterisk if necessary.

You may have better results if it's simply listening the callers need to do,
and depending on the audience that will be listening may work out easier and
cheaper too.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Autodialer

2009-08-25 Thread Geraint Lee
For someone who is developing an 'autodialer' you are asking for an awful
lot! I would recommend getting to grips with asterisk before even
considering developing a dialer...

question 1 - aren't you developing your own so why would you need
documentation for another? or... why not use the other?
question 2... you shouldn't be writing a dialer if you can't come up with a
way to test it on your own
question 3... check the mailing list
question 4 I'm not sure if you've heard of it... but there's this search
engine called google, i hear you can search for things just like that on
there!

Of course the question you're trying to ask may have been that you want to
implement a dialer and want people to recommend one, i think that's the
question you should be asking if not.

Cheers

Re: [asterisk-users] Skype for Asterisk???

2009-08-18 Thread Geraint Lee
Good luck with the N95... my experiences of the N95 and SIP haven't been
great... the phone likes to restart... regularly. Nokia may well have fixed
these glitches by now though. Getting it configured was a bit of a mission
too... and as expected the battery life shoots down when it's enabled...
so... again... good luck, and hope that nokia have fixed all those issues :p
saying that though, to be fair, it did work most of the time, just had to
put up with annoying restarts, sometimes at very inconvenient times... like
when the phone rang.
As for skype, I can see how it could be useful, I've worked with a few
developers who's choice of communication method has been skype (I hate it
myself though!), so being able to let them call a skype number and have it
direct to a real phone would be quite useful.

  cellphones free of charge.
 
  So far Skype as implemented on our mobiles has proved too unreliable
  period for business use. It seems only available when we can get a
  3G/HSDPA signal and even then the system regularly logs us out of
  Skype and sometimes doesn't log us back in. However, if and when my
  cellular provider get Skype sorted out on their system ...

 I was under the impression that Three (who I guess you're using) placed a
 regular call over their network then Skyped it at their HQ - rather than
 have the Skype client actually reside in the handset.. (And I'm suspecting
 their 3G limitation is that they want to use their own 3G network rather
 than pay Orange for the call over their 2G network)

 But then again, wifey's just gotten a new Three mobile (N95 - end of line,
 but a cheap deal) It has built in SIP via Wi-Fi and skype, so I might have
 a play with it when I can prise it out of her hands...

 It does worry me that I see many so-called business people advertising
 Skype numbers on their business cards, etc. To me it rings of cheapness. I
 can almost always tell when someone calls me using their Skype out service
 - the quality is dreadful, and I end up calling them on their
 regular landline. Cheapskates who can't/won't pay for a decent Internet
 service.

 I'm going to ask my customers if they want to be able to call Skype
 numbers, but I'd probably have to charge for it to justify the cost of the
 license(s) required.

Re: [asterisk-users] queues load balancing

2009-07-20 Thread Geraint Lee
Take a look at:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+cmd+Random

You should be able to do what you want with this, it obviously won't take in
to account the actual amount of people still in the queue (for example if
someone hangs up while on hold). I'm sure there'd be a way of integrating
this in to it using some different functions, but for a quick fix random
will do just fine.

Cheers

 Hello
 I have 2 queues (queue_1 and queue_2 ) in my Asterisk, and I want to
 send 2/3 of the calls to queue_1 and 1/3 of the calls to queue_2
 How can I do that load balancing in extensions.conf?

 I have something like this:
 exten = 123,1,Ringing
 exten = 123,2,Wait(1)
 exten = 123,3,Answer

 ;  2 in 3 calls go to queue_1
 exten = 123,x,Queue(queue_1)

 ; 1 in 3 calls go to queue_2
 exten = 123,x,Queue(queue_2)

 But how can I configure this call distribution?
 Thanks
 Regards
 Joao Pereira

search the mailing list, this question has been asked and answered several
times.

But it's all dependent on hardware, codecs, bandwidth.

If you mix the right technologies there is no limit to how many calls you
could handle, you just have to do it in the right way with multiple servers
obviously.

Re: [asterisk-users] Calling non-extension numbers issue

2009-06-29 Thread Geraint Lee
I have used an nokia n95 with asterisk without any problems (except for the
actual phone deciding to restart itself every few hours - but that's nothing
new with nokias!)

Are you getting anything on the CLI that might point you in the right
direction when the call is attempted?

CHeers

2009/6/29 Kayton Sapale ksap...@speartek.com

 Hi everyone,

 This is my first post, so apologies if I have not included all details
 about the issue.  I am using a Nokia e71 to connect to a corporate
 asterisk server and am having issue with dialing.  I can dial all
 extensions and receive all types of incoming calls.  I cannot however,
 dial local phone numbers.  When putting the service into debug, it
 appears that the device does not enter into configuration when
 attempting to dial numbers that are not extensions.

 The assumption being made here is that the device is the issue, as other
 devices - softphones, cell phones and other internet phones - do not
 have this same issue.  Has anyone had similar issues and some guidance
 on where to find a solution.  Our admin and I are both searching for
 solutions, as we are both stuck on the problem.

 We are currently running asterisk version 1.4.18.1

 Thanks!

Re: [asterisk-users] Dail in modem

2009-06-20 Thread Geraint Lee
If i understand correctly you need users to be able to dial in using a modem
to your servers then you are going to share your internet connection with
those who dial your server. So, no, it has nothing to do with asterisk...
you want to be looking at wvdial for the clients (assuming they are linux)
and whatever the equivalent server would be (don't know as i've never done
it).

Good luck

Yes, that should work fine, just remember you need a crossover cable to go
from the a102 to the legacy system

2009/6/3 Jim Dickenson dicken...@cfmc.com

 I have a potential client that currently has a T1 circuit that feeds into
 an
 Adtran 750. Their phone sets are connected to the 24 ports on the 750.

 I was wondering if I could take an Asterisk system with a Sangoma A102de in
 it and plug the T1 into one port of the A102 and the 750 into the second
 port?

 Would I then have 24 voice channels that I could manage for the 24 phone
 sets?

 The only thing I know about the T1 is that it uses wink start signaling.

  I’m trying to isolate the IP address of inbound calls to my switch over
 IAX2.  Is the proper way to get that  information as follows:



 ${IAXPEER(IP)}



 If the caller was inbound via SIP, this works:



 ${SIPCHANINFO(PEERIP)}



 So I’m looking to return the IP address of the caller via IAX2.

  nicely.  The lack of a decent number of BLF keys (even with a very
  expensive sidecar you only get two more keys than a standalone Snom320)
  puts me off a little.
 
  However, for a conference phone, the Polycom's can't be easily beaten.
  Their handsfree call quality is in a league of it's own.
 
 
  Mainly I suggest it because the OP asked for an inexpensive quality
 phone.
  I agree on the provisioning - the web interface is useless, and unless
 you
  know how to setup the XML files properly you are doomed to a very
  frustrating experience.

 The Polycom 320/330's are nice little phones for the price.

 There are several resources for configuring the phones from the XML
 config files.  If the config files are sane, the phones don't take that
 long to reboot.

 This is probably one of the better examples:

 Karl did a good job commenting in the config files where he made changes.

  config
   and they are very stable.  Once they're configured they work very
   nicely.  The lack of a decent number of BLF keys (even with a
 very
   expensive sidecar you only get two more keys than a standalone
  Snom320)
   puts me off a little.
  
   However, for a conference phone, the Polycom's can't be easily
  beaten.
   Their handsfree call quality is in a league of it's own.
  
  
   Mainly I suggest it because the OP asked for an inexpensive
  quality phone.
   I agree on the provisioning - the web interface is useless, and
  unless you
   know how to setup the XML files properly you are doomed to a very
   frustrating experience.
 
  The Polycom 320/330's are nice little phones for the price.
 
  There are several resources for configuring the phones from the XML
  config files.  If the config files are sane, the phones don't take
  that
  long to reboot.
 
  This is probably one of the better examples:

 How Domains are used within Asterisk ?

 *Sent:* 26 May 2009 12:14
 *To:* Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion
 *Subject:* [asterisk-users] Domains



 Hi,



 I’m trying to understand an issue I’m seeing between two Asterisk servers.
 I think it has to do with Domain definitions.



 Server A), has extension 5550 defined. Has a sip client 2000 defined, and
 has guest-invites enabled.

 Server B), Dials to server A for any 5550 dialled.  Has sip client 2000 and
 2001 defined.



 If I register at server B as client 2001, and dial 5550 then the call
 works, and is placed through to server As logic successfully.

 But if I call in as client 2000, then the call fails, server A shows no log
 at all of the call (even a sip set debug ip ip showed nothing – though
 tcpdump did show the inbound invite).

 However if I remove the definition of client 2000 from server A, then the
 call succeeds.



 So I think that for a defined account server A is wanting to challenge for
 a password, even though the inbound call is not a local account – hence my
 trying now to understand if and how Asterisk uses Domains.  If I define a
 serverA.company.com domain on server A, will it ignore the challenge for
 an INVITE coming from server B ??



 Thanks



 Adrian

 Check the entries for office1 and office2 servers in sip.conf. If they

 have a callerid= entry comment it out and do a SIP reload. When it is

 set asterisk overrides the caller ID sent to it.





additionally if you want to have the callerid to include office1 when

calling office2, you could change the callerid using



Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERID(name)} Office 1)



just before sending through to office 2



Something along those lines anyway, not entirely sure on the syntax or if

there's a better way to do it.. but i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm

wrong :)

Re: [asterisk-users] function originate

2009-04-24 Thread Geraint Lee
You could use 2 originate commands and connect both of them to a meetme
room?

But surely what you're trying to do is going to confuse the person anyway if
they don't hear anyone when they answer?

Wouldn't it just be better to play a message after party a answers and then
start ringing party b so that party a knows what's going on?

2009/4/24 Rilawich Ango maillist...@gmail.com

 Hi,
 Feature originate can be used make call thro' the web.  There is a
 parameter ,Async, in it.  I set it to true but there is no effect.
 Actually, I want to do the following.

 What I know the function originate is:
 originate call --- party A
 party A rings
 party A answers call
 party B rings, party A still hear ring
 party B answers and A  B connected.
 party A will feel weird when she will still hear ring after answering
 a call until party B answers it.

 Below is what I want to do:
 originate call --- party A
 party A rings
 party B rings
 party A answers call
 A  B connected.

Re: [asterisk-users] Record in mp3

2009-04-24 Thread Geraint Lee
you probably don't want to record directly to mp3 as there will be an
overhead in converting the audio on the fly and this will probably break
your call recordings... you should either record in the codec you are using
for phone calls (i think?) or in .wav and then convert afterwards (correct
me if i'm wrong someone!).

[asterisk-users] Asterisk Capacity

2009-04-23 Thread Geraint Lee
Hi Guys,

I have a strong feeling the loads on my servers will be shooting up soon...
anyone got any idea how many calls i can expect to put through a
DL360:
Dual Quad Core 2.33ghz
4gb RAM with 1gb allocated for a ramdisk (call recordings)

This server is recording calls (mixmonitor), codec is gsm (no conversion).

I know there's a lot of other things to consider like AGI scripts and such
things but i'd like to know what the capacity should be simply for sip
registrations (which are in conf files) and calls (usually between 20 and 60
concurrent calls at present (around 12,000 calls a day - so relatively low
volume). No voicemail or meetme.

I expect to be pushing 300-400 concurrent calls within the next 2 months.

Next question... do i need to be looking at openSIPS or something similar to
handle registrations?

Any hints, tips and things to watch out for with a larger volume would be
great.

Cheers

Geraint

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Capacity

2009-04-23 Thread Geraint Lee
Thanks for that, it's pretty much confirming what i first anticipated... my
intentions are as follows:

agents register with opensips, opensips clusters a set of call recording
servers which then connect to our border servers which will save cdr and
choose the sip/iax provider to send the call to.

and for my predictive dialer, each server will spool as many calls as they
can before i see performance issues when they have an answer they too will
connect to the opensips server to get a call recording server which in turn
will pass it on to the agent again via opensips.

simples :)

looks like i need to install and learn opensips since this whole scenario
seems to be heavily relying on it :)

Cheers

2009/4/23 z gringo z_gri...@hotmail.com

  You don't say how many SIP registrations you are doing, but I have several
 servers with betwen 1000 and 1200 simultaneous registered users 24/7.   When
 we had the registrations in realtime (cached) with the mysql connector,
 everything started failing around 600 users.  With the ODBC connector we
 have not had that problem.  Ditto for putting the users in .conf files.  My
 servers all have around 300 to 400 simultaneous calls during peak periods,
 and I have a 1GB ramdisk for recordings.We are only recording a tiny
 percentage of those calls.  MySQL is running on a separate server dedicated
 to Databases.  The asterisks connect to the realtime DB via a private
 network on a second nic.

 My thoughts are these:
 1.  Asterisk is not going to be able to handle much more registration
 traffic than around 1200 registered users. (this depends on a whole lot of
 things though).  Eventually, it will need to be offloaded to something like
 OpenSIPs
 2.  Somewhere around 800 simultaneous calls is about the most asterisk is
 going to be able to push.
 3.  Your problem is going to be the call recording.  If you are trying to
 record all the calls on your server or even a large percentage of them, that
 is going to be your first problem area.

 Another important thing to consider is how many calls you are setting up
 and tearing down each second.   If you have a bunch of users dialing
 manually and making long calls, that will be a lot easier to handle than if
 you have 3 predictive dialers running against your server trying to bring up
 30 calls per second.  If you are doing something like that, you will
 probably need to distribute accross multiple servers.

Re: [asterisk-users] AGI PHP script

2009-04-23 Thread Geraint Lee
Check you can run the script from th ecommand line and successfully send
email... have you considered using phpagi for your scripts?

2009/4/23 James A. Shigley j...@answeringserv.com

  I have the below script that doesn’t seem to be working. I don’t know if
 I have something in the script wrong that I am just missing. Or if I don’t
 have the php.ini set correctly for emailing





 This is the CLI output

 Here is the script





 #!/usr/bin/php5

 ?php



 // Get AGI vars from *



  $agivars = array();

  while (!feof(STDIN)) {

  $agivar = trim(fgets(STDIN));

  if ($agivar === '') {

  break;

  }

  $agivar = explode(':', $agivar);

  $agivars[$agivar[0]] = trim($agivar[1]);

  }

  extract($agivars);



 // Variable Declarations



 $agi_uniqueid;

 $agi_callerid;

 $agi_calleridname;

 $agi_uniqueid;

 $UNIQUEID = $agi_uniqueid;

 $CALLERID = $agi_callerid;

 $EXTEN = $agi_extension;

 $attachment =

 $subject=New Applicant;

 $headers = From: $from;

 $message =$UNIQUEID , $CALLERID , $EXTEN , $attachment;

 mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

 ?





 So is it anything obviously wrong with the script I’m missing?



 Besides something not being configured in php.ini correctly any other
 ideas?

 can AstDB handle safely ? In my case the total records wont exceed 20,000

Re: [asterisk-users] Alcatel OmniPCX Enterprise + Asterisk with E1

2009-04-17 Thread Geraint Lee
I haven't worked with the omnipbx's but i have with an alcatel 4400 and used
a sangoma A108 and A104.. the sangoma cards work perfectly and if you have
nay issues sangoma support are always more than happy to help - and they
actually know what there talking about as apposed to having someone reading
a script.

as for different devices, you could use one of those vegastream devices,
i've got a vega 400 but have never used it and so can't comment on how good
/ bad they are... but the vega 400 allows up to 4 (i think) e1/t1
connections converted to SIP.

2009/4/17 Sebastian Milioto smili...@gmail.com

 Hi all,

 I'm new in the forum, and although I have some experience in Asterisk, I've
 never work with Asterisk FXO, FXS, E1... cards.

 I have several costumers with ATAs working with my SER. However one of them
 bought an Alcatel PBX OmniPCX Enterprise and now he wants I give him a E1
 interface for interconection with its new PBX.

 I understand I need a E1-IP gateway which could be Asterisk I think. So the
 network would look like this:

 Extensions-OmniPCX---E1---AsteriskIP--SER

 About that, I have a few question:

 1. Anybody has done this interconection? How does Asterisk and PBX OmniPCX
 work together through an E1 interface? Any problems or bugs?

 2. What E1 card should I buy for Asterisk? Is the physical interface
 (conectors) E1 identical as T1?

 3. If cost wasn't a problem, do you suggest another interconection way
 technically better? May be replacing Asterisk with another device with an
 in-box E1?

 Thanks very much in advance,

 Sebastian

 When was this added to Asterisk??
 For years now, outbound dialing begun WITHOUT detecting dial tone,

 Dial tone detection was/is long overdue.
 Anyone know when this was added?
 Wading through cryptic change logs makes no mention of addition of this

 Also Sangoma provides really great support for their cards. If all else

 I have it working if originate is from a user e.g. SIP/

 What i'd like to be able to is instead of a local extensions i would

Re: [asterisk-users] Recommended USB Headsets ?

2009-03-23 Thread Geraint Lee
We've had no end of trouble with usb headsets on linux (especially cmedia
chipset), as soon as you touch the volume control the sound settings all
mess up... i'm sure there'll be an alsa seting somewhere which would solve
this but i'm not that clued up on alsa so opted for using standard 2
connection headsets which work great (with a good soundcard).

 Hi, we are looking to roll out PBX IN A Flash at our office.

 The first group will be using Soft Phones (X-Lite appears to be the best
 and works in Windows, Apple  Linux).

 There are many types of USB Headsets to choose from and a fairly broad
 price range. Is there any USB headsets people would recommend?

 I'm specifically interested in acceptable audio (speaker and microphone)
 quality for business calls but am sensitive to price as well.

 In reading online, the Logitech Premium headset does get some good
 reviews but the reviews appear to be more from consumer based. I'd much
 prefer real experience from the good people who are operating their own
 Asterisk implementations.

 Any advice? Thanks!

Re: [asterisk-users] Recommended USB Headsets ?

2009-03-23 Thread Geraint Lee
I disagree with your opinion on softphones, i think they're great, saved
thousands in cabling, switch and phone costs.

I've had 50 agents running diskless/pxe linux (fedora 8), firefox,
thunderbird and twinkle and never had any problems, in the next few months i
expect to have at least 250 agents using this solution.

I must admit though that i did share your opinion that hardphones are the
only way to go, but having actually taken the time to get everything
configured properly i see no advantage to having hard phones, only a huge
unneccesary cost - that's the same way i look at using windows for agent
pc's, completely unneccesary unless they *have* to use some sort of software
that will only run on windows.

Cheers

2009/3/23 Steve Totaro stot...@first-notification.com

 My advice?

 If mandated with a USB device and softphone, I would certainly go with
 Plantronics.

 My question is why not pick up some real Polycom 430s or something and
 realize that you really just saved yourself a great deal of time and
 money in all reality.

 Softphones, like inkjet printers, should be used at home or ONLY when
 REQUIRED.

 Thanks,
 Steve Totaro

Re: [asterisk-users] Recommended USB Headsets ?

2009-03-23 Thread Geraint Lee
I think we can conclude that hardphones should be used if you cannot under
any circumstances loose the call (power goes down in building, phones still
powered by PoE switches on UPS) or if you prefer/don't mind spending the
extra on hardphones... and softphones if it doesn't make a difference.

All this from a usb headset recommendations thread :)

but on that subject... plantronics all the way, they seem to realise that
agents will complain if the headsets hurt (too tight, pulls hair etc etc)
and that agents don't really care about the equipment they are using and so
need to be strong.  we use non usb plantronics (no idea what model)
headsets, never had one break except for chairs running over cables, but a
few cable ties stopped that from happening ever again though!

  Seems like you have a lousy window manager. If a phone is so important
  it should be on top (or above that).

 You first asked, Can you just send it to the background so it does
 not occupy and [screen] space while not in use? Trivial for a software
 phone.

 Then you said Seems like you have a lousy window manager. If a phone
 is so important it should be on top (or above that).

 Circular and tiring doublespeak trying to impersonate some kind of
 logic.

 
  You ask the users with those fancy keyboard with the extra 20 buttons
  not to use one of them for Answer call? You ask them to actually get
  their hands off the keyboard (and mouse?) to answer a call? How very
  productive.

 I don't ask user's to use softphones, obviously you have missed the point.

 I was offering app alternatives that could control the Real phone
 and the other way around, period.

 Please don't try to spin my words and especially your own.  I have
 caught you doing this many, many times over the years and it doesn't
 work with me.  Selectively snipping or misquoting is deceitful and you
 are guilty of it regularly.  Check the archives.

 
  
   Can you change a theme of a hardware phone?
 
  How many people actually would do this?  In any fortune 500 or higher
  company I have worked in (first, softtphones would never even be
  considered) and support of skins themes would not be entertained.
 
  What would it take you to put the right icons on a Cisco phone so the
  dumb secretary could understand what they mean? Could you group the
  function buttons in logical groups?

 I am sure I could if you gave some example other than right icons
 and group function buttons  Lack of clarity leads to no answers.

 
  What would it take you to get a nice Polycom phone but with the big
  buttons the old Grandstream Bug-tone has, so that granny can use it?

 An ATA with big ole buttons, they exist, I see commercials for them
 all the time.

 
 
  Only people I see changing Themes of phones are teenie boppers
  putting bling on their cellies.
 
  Or granny[1]. Or maybe a PHB who happens to also have some pretty thick
  glasses?
 

 Aunt Tilly was laid-off, anyone else can simply use an ATA and a
 specialized phone.

  
   Can you just send it to the background so it does not occupy and
   [screen] space while not in use? Trivial for a software phone.
  
 
  Yes, just push the hard phone to the side.
 
  1. Messing your desk in the process.
  2. Moving parts. Increases the chance that the wire in the back will
  disconnect. Causing you eventually to lose a call. Which we cannot
  afford in a F500C.

 1.  Moving a phone on a clean desk does not make it messy.
 2.  Park the call, but I have moved thousands of phones and unless
 someone has the wire pulled so tight, there was absolutely no chance
 of pulling out the power.  If you mean a patch cable, then buy decent
 patch cables.

 All moot points, broken down one by one.

 Other posters don't seem to much care either..

 
  [1] which happens to be aunt Tilly? Those silly examples make me think

 i've used those headsets hooked up to an old 4400 (well, via an alcatel
 phone obviously)... not bad at all and i know the support department could
 fix most of them - usual problems were recrimping the rj11 connections and
 resoldering the bits inside the volume box thingy (assuming we're thinking
 of the same ones). On that subject... those hardphones suffered a lot of use
 and needed fixing regularly (not from abuse) but from general use (pick up
 the phone, dialing phone numbers etc etc) and after a while the connections
 start to fall off the board they are connected to, so maybe another reason
 why hardphones aren't so good?

Re: [asterisk-users] Multi-tenant with receptionist features for managed service

2009-03-17 Thread Geraint Lee
We can put about 9/10 calls using SIP/gsm through our BT Business Network
ADSL package connection (832kbit upstream, £65/month) before you notice the
quality starting to drop, but you could always get two connections and
bond them together into one using openvpn or some other method if you
wanted to.

  Dear all,

 I'm currently researching options for a MT asterisk gui/system for a
 small business centre that will have 12 units in it. Each unit will be
 configured for one extension.

 The system there will have a max of 12 concurrent calls to PSTN
 provided via an ADSL/SDSL link to our VoIP provider in the UK, using
 g.711, maybe g.729 dependant on networking costs. Fallback will
 be to 4 analogue lines should this go down.


 Gavin,

 You won't get 12 concurent G711 calls over a standard ADSL line in the UK.
 If you're on an ADSL2+ service you may get up to 1.1Mb/sec upload speed, but
 even then, 12 * 80 = 960Kb/sec which is really pushing it, so use G729, or
 get that 2Mb SDSL line in. Make sure it's a decent ISP too. Using IAX will
 give you a few extra channels though as the IP overhead is less.

  What is key is billing information and the ability for a receptionist
 to see all active calls and do transfers etc. Much like the Flash
 Operator Panel. Desktop Software may also be needed for this purpose
 or can be done via a traditional bank of lines on an IP phone
 accessory module.


 Have a look at: http://www.astassistant.com/ rather than FOP. Even has a
 Linux client which is nice...

  If anyone has any ideas on the best way to put this together, I'm all ears
 ;-)


 The consultant in me says Pay someone to do it for you :) However it's
 not that hard to do and setup if youve done something similar in the past -
 and your budget is tight. If you know you're going to get more of these,
 then go for it - spend your time on the software and front-end for the the
 first one, then the rest are clones...

  I was going to use an OpenVOX card and Dell T100 box, with 12 Aastra
 53i phones. There's a £4k budget for this (still waiting for more
 into)which
 will include the networking connection and equipment. If I can afford it I
 normally go Sangoma with Echo cancellation, but as it's a fallback
 service,
 so I'm not bothered.


 When budgets tight - I've deployed a lot of Grandstream phones - might give
 you a bit more breathing space if you use (eg) GXP280's for the client
 phones and a GXP2000 + button box for the receptionist.

 You can save money by building your own hardware too. Atom mobo, 1GB of RAM
 and an OpenVox card running oslec is still overkill for this. I mostly use
 1GHz VIA boards for these sort of projects with up to 60 extensions.

 Billings a PITA and other than what I've written myself, have never found
 anything that works the way I'm happy with... Good luck!


  I think I've covered everything. There will be many more business
 centres to come as this first project will be the blueprint one. The
 end goal is to also move this to a data centre and not have it on site
 with the pstn fallback options, but use redundant links to our DC.
 Like a mini-ITSP for our area. I haven't figured the receptionist part
 for that bit yet though ;-)


 Personally I'd stick the box on-site and have a central peering server or 2
 in the DC - well that's how I do it ;-) You'll struggle to get properly
 redundant links in that budget range too - one JCB can ruin everyones day!

 Gordon

Re: [asterisk-users] Direct Dial-Out and CDR destination numbers

2009-03-17 Thread Geraint Lee
what about relogging the information using:
Set(CDR(customfield)=${CDR(originalfield)})

i think?

who knows, i might be wrong with all of this but i guess it will work...

2009/3/17 Matthias Urlichs matth...@urlichs.de

 Hi,

 as German phone numbers are variable_length, I need to use direct dial-out.

 The problem is that only the part which appears in extensions.ael (and thus
 in the argument to Dial()) is logged to the call data record.

 What I want, obviously, is for the Dial() app to append the additional
 digits to the CDR's destination number.

 Is that possible?

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk and WebIntegration

2009-03-13 Thread Geraint Lee
I reverse the inbound calls so they appear as outbound calls for agents,
all of our calls are managed by the dialer i've written and integrate
directly to our CRM, essentially asterisk is only providing the SIP/IAX
functionality to me everything else is done via php...

so...
inbound call comes in and gets parked in a php script
stores in database as an outbound call, agents screen then pops and checks
the database for the CLI so we can try to guess who's calling us and opens
up all of their details.
php script that is parking the inbound call then dials the allocated
agents extension and connects the call.

also on the dial command i have used Dial(SIP/1234,,A(beep)) so that the
agent hears a beep when they get a call.

Hope this enlightens you a bit on handling inbounds in this situation :)

 Hi Geriant,

 My apologies for the delay in reply. We won't be using php but Perl and
 there is an AGI module for perl Asterisk::AGI. I may be using Manager API
 for sending Hangup signal. Im planning to write a bash script which perl
 invokes when hangup button is pressed in the web interface. Bash script
 telnets and sends Hangup signal to the manager API. I am not yet able to
 acheive sending commands via bash script using telnet. But I am trying.

 One thing that's confusing me is if in future, incoming facility needs to
 be activated and since Auto Answer feature in EyeBeam/Twinkle is ON, don't
 you think that would be a problem? I think for that, the possible work
 around will be using 2 softphones, say EyeBeam and Xlite together in the
 same PC. Configuring one extension in EyeBeam to make outbound calls (with
 Auto Answer enabled) and configuring Xlite with an extension which receives
 inbound calls. Do you have any suggestion on that?

 Regards,

 Kurian Mathew Thayil.

 Hi Steve,

 That worked beautifully. Thank you so much. But one question though.
 Imagine if I keep a Hangup Button in the interface and it should terminate
 the call. Will that be possible? This scenario happens when the user gets
 connected to an invalid phone number where the user have to manually
 disconnect. I don't plan to confuse the user by asking them to use eyebeam
 to disconnect the call. If it could be integrated to the web interface they
 just have to stick on to that alone. Is there any way?

 The following will ring the internal support personnel (8440) first,

Re: [asterisk-users] Outbound routing

2009-03-13 Thread Geraint Lee
If it's anything like the UK, it won't make a difference... for example:
o2 mobile number ported to orange mobile...
On most providers you still pay the o2 rate.
three mobile ported to o2...
you still pay the three rate (which isn't so good since it's far more
expensive than o2).

Cheers

2009/3/13 Asterisk aster...@abraxas.si

 Dear All,

 I have a small call center in which I have to define least cost routing for
 outbound calls. For now I have always done this by routing numbers to
 different providers according to the number prefix.

 However, a new law became effective now which allows people to switch
 between providers without changing their telephone numbers. This makes least
 cost routing based on number prefixes much less effective.

 Are there any known solutions for this?

 Thanks in advance,
 Alex

yes, you need to make sure bindaddr is set correctly in iax.conf, sip.conf,
dundi.conf, manager.conf and any other files that might include bindaddr for
BOTH instances of asterisk, you can't allow one to bind to all ip's and the
other just to bind to one - it won't work.

  Just to have several Asterisk instances on a single server you do not
  need to install it multiple times. Install it once and start it multiple

  Of course you have to have a dedicated configuration for each server,
 eg:
  /etc/asterisk/instance1/*

  asterisk -C /etc/asterisk/instance3/asterisk.conf
 
  Further, in asterisk.conf specify for each asterisk instance a different
  location of: spool directory, PID file, 
 
  btw: I use a common /var/lib/asterisk/ as I want to have the same
  sounds for all instances. This gives a problem when you use 1.4, as
  1.4 can not configure the location of astdb. For these you have to apply
  this patch:

I do it for CDR, when using the originate command via the manager and
initiate a call to a phone which then connects to an agi script upon answer,
the cdr stops at the point of answer and there is no other created, which of
course is useless for billing customers - there may very well be a way to
make the cdr continue after it seems to stop logging, or is it a bug? either
way, the quickest solution for me was to install a second copy and send all
calls out on a second installation with accurate cdr logging.

 I'm curious about hackers getting in when you have username and passwords

 How are they cracking the passwords in the first place?

Re: [asterisk-users] Sending Calls via SIP trunk from two different IP addresses from same Asterisk Machine

2009-02-01 Thread Geraint Lee
Could you not use some iptables to do this? I don't know the exact command
you'd need but it could work something like...

If the destination port is 5060 and destination ip is xxx then route via the
default ip (so do nothing)
If the destination port is 5061 and destination ip is xxx change the
destination port back to 5060 and set secondary ip as the source?

Just a thought... i'm guessing this would be able to do the job.. not sure
what issues you might run in to by changing 5060 to 5061... but if it came
to it you could try it by using an alternate ip and changing it back.  Who
knows... not sure if i've even read enough to understand the problem :)

2009/2/1 Mike l...@virtutel.ca

 At the risk of seeming impolite (I really am not), why not? Isn't Asterisk
 able to send packets using another interface using bindaddr?  The problem,
 for the two of us, is that bindaddr is Asterisk-wide, and not per-peer.

  Ah, that makes more sense.  Asterisk binding to another IP is not the
  issue, actually, and even running another instance will not do what you
  need.  Your problem is that the OS itself will stamp outbound packets
  with the main source IP of the main interface.  Asterisk could be
 modified
  to send packets with specific IP source, but I don't think that would be
 a
  simple change.

   I am confused as to what you are trying to accomplish.  Can
   you be more specific?  It seems that you are making this too
   complicated.  You say that the remote end is providing you
   two SIP trunks that will come from the same IP address.  To
   distinguish them simply have them authenticate with two
   different usernames.
  
   This does beg the question, though, if the endpoint is the
   same, why have a separate trunk?  How about routing the
   calls based on differing CID?
  
   If you can explain the situation more distinctly perhaps an
   alternate method will present itself.  Hard to imagine a
   real need for binding to multiple local IP addresses on the
   asterisk side.
  
   If you are REALLY stuck on doing it that way, however, how
   about simply running a second instance of asterisk?  You
   would have to recompile the source to read config from a
   second tree, but then your second instance could bind to
   your aliased address.  I suppose you could even trunk the
   two together if the two instances must pass traffic between
   each other.
  
   How odd :)

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk dies when external access is lost

2008-12-11 Thread Geraint Lee

that wouldn't really explain why it would die when ADSL is down... h.

Cheers

Geraint

2008/12/11 Phil Knighton [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  Hello

 Looking for some help with a rather odd problem.  We have Asterisk 1.4.10
 running on a Linux box, within our Windows domain.  Our Domain Controller is
 a Windows 2003 server, providing the normal Windows domain functions, such
 as DHCP and DNS.

 When we lose either our Domain Controller (for a reboot/maintenance) or
 external ADSL access, Asterisk drops all SIP registrations - even internal
 SIP calls within the building no longer function.

 All of our SIP clients are assigned static IP addresses, and our incoming
 lines are via a Zaptel card using (currently) analog lines from our national
 telco.  When the SIP registrations drop, Asterisk will still answer incoming
 calls via the Zap channels, but can't forward them anywhere.

 What is most confusing is a recent issue when our ADSL connections were all
 offline, and despite everything internal to the network working perfectly,
 all of the SIP phones stopped working and left us without phones for 4
 hours.

 I'm suspecting that these two issues (losing connectivity when DC is
 unavailable and losing connectivity when ADSL drops) are related, but I
 can't figure out how?  I'm sure I'm missing something simple in the config,
 but I've been tinkering with this issue since we were using Asterisk 1.2 and
 I've still not resolved it.

 Any help or comments would be appreciated...

 Thanks in advance

 Phil

  I have several branch offices all running Asterisk PBX's that register

  but I'd like to somehow make the CallerID more useful.  Currently if an
  extension at Office1 dials an extension at Office2 the CID on the phone
  at Office2 says Office1.  The same thing happens if a person at
  Office1 transfers an incoming call to Office2.  The caller ID at Office2
  always just says Office1.
 
  What I would like to happen would be when Bob at Extension 12 at Office1
  calls Office2 the caller ID at office 2 would say Bob in the name
  files and 12 in the number field.  If Bob does a blind transfer to an
  extension at Office2 I would like the caller ID on the Office2 phone to
  display the original caller's name and number.
 
  I've read most of the documentation on the CallerID variables, but am
  still having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around the necessary
  logic to accomplish what I need to do, (mainly because I'm in the middle
  of a totally unrelated project and am having trouble multi-tasking).
  Could anyone give me a starting point?
 
  Thanks,
  Brent

 Check the entries for office1 and office2 servers in sip.conf. If they
 have a callerid= entry comment it out and do a SIP reload. When it is
 set asterisk overrides the caller ID sent to it.


additionally if you want to have the callerid to include office1 when
calling office2, you could change the callerid using

Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERID(name)} Office 1)

just before sending through to office 2

Something along those lines anyway, not entirely sure on the syntax or if
there's a better way to do it.. but i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm
wrong :)

 Dial() has ended. If there is no answer, busy, etc., it is not a
 problem, because dialplan continues after the Dial() application, but
 when the call is established (i call macro in Dial() with AGI execution,
 working ok) and after the call ends, dialplan execution stops on the
 Dial(). But I need dialplan to continue after call end and execute the
 AGI script.

 Is there any way how to do it?

 I don't have any suggestions, but this is similar to something I am

 If I spy on a call, then progressively throughout the call a delay is

 10 seconds out of sync. (Then I don't get to hear the end of the call
 when the call is finished).

 This also leaves stale channels open. (the entry in show channels

For the purposes of google since i'm sure someone is going encounter the
same problem at some point in time...

I have now fixed the problem, it seems asterisk and swyx refuse to talk
properly with euroisdn.. it now works by changing it to use qsig... on the
swyx side:
windows device manager  select the isdn card (sx2 dualpri)  advanced 
isdn parameters  tick use additional d-channel features  tick enable q.sig
restart the server

asterisk side:
modify /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf and set switchtype=qsig for your swyx
trunks

and one more thing... for wanpipe you need to set tdmv_dchan = 0 instead of
16

job done!

 Hi all, I've done this a few times with other PBX's but swyx has stumped
 me! I'm having some trouble getting Asterisk connected to a Swyx system
 using a sangoma A104dx... currently the setup is:
 BT - Swyx

 The above setup works fine... what i'm trying to achieve is
 BT  SIP Trunks - Asterisk - Swyx

 I have connected to our BT (2 x ISDN30 UK) with asterisk and have no
 errors and can make and receive calls and it never dies... the problem comes
 when i try and connect asterisk to swyx...
 I can make calls from asterisk to the swyx system with no problems or
 errors, but... when i try and place a call from Swyx to asterisk i receive
 the following error:
 [Oct  6 10:56:20] ERROR[9794]: chan_zap.c:8250 zt_pri_error: !! Unexpected
 Channel selection 3

 The call does complete as normal but after about 2 or 3 hours of calls
 passing through this setup i start receiving errors like the following:
 [Oct  6 10:55:25] WARNING[9794]: chan_zap.c:8074 pri_fixup_principle:
 Can't fix up channel from 63 to 92 because 92 is already in use

 [Oct  6 10:55:55] WARNING[9794]: chan_zap.c:8074 pri_fixup_principle:
 Can't fix up channel from 63 to 92 because 92 is already in use

 And eventually no more calls can be placed from swyx to asterisk... time
 for some configs... and before anyone says something about wanpipe3 and 4
 having dchan=0, i tried with dchan=16 and no calls can be placed...

 I hope someone can point me in the right direction as we're trying to get
 rid of swyx since we're tied down by limiting software and excessive
 licensing costs.

 Thanks!

does anyone have ANY ideas? I've trawled through google and come up with
nothing except for questions with no answers...

 Hi all, I've done this a few times with other PBX's but swyx has stumped
 me! I'm having some trouble getting Asterisk connected to a Swyx system
 using a sangoma A104dx... currently the setup is:
 BT - Swyx

 The above setup works fine... what i'm trying to achieve is
 BT  SIP Trunks - Asterisk - Swyx

 I have connected to our BT (2 x ISDN30 UK) with asterisk and have no errors
 and can make and receive calls and it never dies... the problem comes when i
 try and connect asterisk to swyx...
 I can make calls from asterisk to the swyx system with no problems or
 errors, but... when i try and place a call from Swyx to asterisk i receive
 the following error:
 [Oct  6 10:56:20] ERROR[9794]: chan_zap.c:8250 zt_pri_error: !! Unexpected
 Channel selection 3

 The call does complete as normal but after about 2 or 3 hours of calls
 passing through this setup i start receiving errors like the following:

 And eventually no more calls can be placed from swyx to asterisk... time
 for some configs... and before anyone says something about wanpipe3 and 4
 having dchan=0, i tried with dchan=16 and no calls can be placed...

 I hope someone can point me in the right direction as we're trying to get
 rid of swyx since we're tied down by limiting software and excessive
 licensing costs.

 Thanks!

 So go in one Saturday morning, wire it up as you want (BT - Asterisk) and
 the re-configure all the SIP phones to talk directly to the asterisk box
 and not the swyx box, then arrange the the swyx box to misteriously die,
 then tell everyone what a good job it was that you were in on the weekend
 to re-configure the phones to use the asterisk box ;-)

Linksys SRW248P or something like that... something from linksys anyway are
quite capable of all you mentioned... maximum 24 port powered though iirc.

Geraint

2008/10/6 Ken D'Ambrosio [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Hey, all.  We're rolling out VoIP, and I'm wondering about PoE
 recommendations, as we're going to have to replace our current network
 equipment.  My first inclination would be to just plunk down the cash and
 do a Cisco system, but I'm relatively certain that would get shot down by
 finance.  Any recommendations for a couple-hundred-port solution with
 VLANs, PoE, and QoS?  Don't care much if it's in a single chassis or not,
 so long as it has Gbit uplinks.

 Thanks!

2008-10-06 Thread Geraint Lee
yes, thats the one i mean, 224p, the one i mentioned isn't capable of vlans
properly (which was strange, since it said it did)... i never had any
problems with them powering phones and cisco access points.

2008/10/6 Chris Bagnall [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 We've used Linksys SRW224P units at quite a few places without issue. For a
 little lower cost, we've also used Netgear FS726 series switches.

 Personally, I prefer the Linksys ones - they have a serial port for
 administration rather than relying on you doing it over the LAN (though they
 have a pretty web interface, too). The pretty web interface is less fussy
 than the Netgear one (which seems unreliable in non-Internet Exploder
 browsers).

 On the other hand, the Netgear is substantially less deep (an issue in some
 wallmount cabinets) and definitely a lot quieter.

 Regards,

 Chris

You can get incoming numbers from voipon.co.uk and a load of other companies
in the UK... 0800 is free for them to ring but you have to pay for the call,
you can also get regional numbers which are charged as a local call for them
- stay away from 070 numbers though.

bt give an annoying message before it connects your call, well, annoying if
you actually are using 070 as a personal number and callers aren't charged
stupid amounts of money to call it. virgin(old ntl) and h3g don't give any
warning message at all though.

 Ofcom banned end user revenue share on 070 numbers several years ago
 although the provider makes money.

 Prefix 070 (then 8 more digits) These are so-called personal numbers.
 They're a blot and an anomaly. They are expensive to call and the
 recipient usually gets revenue from the calls. ie. they are premium rate,
 revenue generating numbers in disguise.

 In disguise becasue a lot of people (in the UK) don't realise this
 because they look like mobile numbers - which start 07[1-9] then 8 more
 digits, so they think they're calling a mobile, when in-fact it's costing
 them much more.

[asterisk-users] MixMonitor + Originate

2008-09-04 Thread Geraint Lee
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get calls to record with the following setup:
Using phpagi originate is called from a web application:
$asm-originate(Local/ . $row['extension'] . @sip-standard,
$row['phone_number'], sip-standard, 1, , , 7000);

The agent being called is extension Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED] and the number
originated for the agent is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MixMonitor records fine up until 100 answers then the recording stops, but
the CLI output suggests that the call is still being recorded...

extensions.conf and CLI output below...

Anyone have any ideas?


extensions.conf:
exten = 100,1,MixMonitor(test.wav)
exten = 100,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})

exten = _1XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})

Output from CLI:
  == Manager 'amis' logged on from 192.168.0.180
-- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1] Dial(Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2,
SIP/101) in new stack
-- Called 101
-- SIP/101-096f7ff8 is ringing
-- SIP/101-096f7ff8 answered Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2
-- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1]
MixMonitor(Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1, test.wav) in new stack
  == Begin MixMonitor Recording Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1
-- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2] Dial(Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1,
SIP/100) in new stack
-- Called 100
-- Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1 requested special control 20, passing
it to SIP/100-09706218
  == Manager 'amis' logged off from 192.168.0.180
  == Spawn extension (sip-standard, 101, 1) exited non-zero on
'Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2'
-- SIP/100-09706218 is ringing
-- SIP/100-09706218 answered SIP/101-096f7ff8
  == Spawn extension (sip-standard, 100, 3) exited non-zero on
'SIP/101-096f7ff8'
  == End MixMonitor Recording Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1

Cheers

Geraint

Re: [asterisk-users] Reliable wireless SIP phones

2008-08-28 Thread Geraint Lee
I've used several hitachi dmp330's they work great, roam between wireless
access points with no loss of audio or connection for that matter.

it will be a great shame if hitachi stop producing them, they are the most
reliable wireless sip phones i've come accross... stay well away from
pirelli phones, they are very buggy.

Cheers

Geraint

 Just a heads up, Hitachi is effectively ceasing production of their IP5000
 and IP3000 WiFi SIP Phonesproduct availability is next to nil on these.
 They also have no plans apparently to continue producing WiFi phones.

 I've gotten a Hitachi WIP3000, which works great.  Supports b  g, all the
 wireless encryption standards, scans networks, everything a laptop
 softphone
 would do, but in a wireless handset.

Re: [asterisk-users] phpagi

2008-03-19 Thread Geraint Lee
You don't install it as such, you just include the files from your php
scripts.

  Hello,



 How do I install phpagi?

 http://phpagi.sourceforge.net/



 I couldn't find any info about setup in that site, and I couldn't email
 the developers…so I'm lost.



 I know it isn't a real question for this list, but I suppose many people
 here already have installed it.



 So, how can I install it?



 Thanks

 Carlos
