 Hi everybody,
 I'm trying to load-test my Asterisk PBX using SIPP, but I always

 I'm using Asterisk 1.0.10
 
 Any ideas or tutorial on how using SIP?

Re: [asterisk-users] DTMF between cisco and sipura going through asterisk

2006-08-31 Thread Greg Boehnlein
On Tue, 29 Aug 2006, Benjamin Lawetz wrote:

 Hello all,
 
   we're having an issue with DTMFs being sent to Sipura's. Calls are
 originating from a Cisco AS5300 being sent to asterisk which in turn sends
 it to the Sipura. Connected to the Sipura is a legacy PBX (or actually shows
 the same problem with a cheap answering machine). The DTMFs sent from the
 AS5300 aren't recognised by the legacy PBX.
 
 - DTMFs are recognised correctly on the asterisk (when we check voicemail)
 - The cisco is setup with dtmf-relay rtp-nte
 - in sip.conf the cisco and sipura are set to rfc2833
 
 If I set the cisco in dtmf-relay rtp-cisco it works on the sipura, but not
 on the asterisk.
 
 Unfortunately I can only set one dtmf-relay mode on the cisco. Is there
 anything I can change on asterisk or sipura to get the sipura to work with
 the rtp-nte (or to get asterisk to work with the cisco-rtp)?
 
 Any hints can help,

Ben,
What version of Aserisk are you using? If it is the 1.2 series, 
there are all sorts of RFC-2833 DTMF Relay issues that can crop up. My 
suggestion is that if you are willing to take the time, it might be worth 
it to Upgrade to the pre-release version of Asterisk that is currently in 
TRUNK. This supports the new Variable Length DTMF code that should knock 
out nearly all of the DTMF issues that Asterisk has had. The 1.2 and 
earlier RTP stack and RFC-2833 implementation, while not technically wrong 
according to the RFC, did things a bit differently than the rest of the 
world has chosen, and therefore can cause DTMF instability.

 Hi Greg. What problems/performance issues does cdr_mysql introduce?

If the database is unavailable, or performance is slow, it can cause a 
blocking condition that will stop the entire system from processing 
anything. It may have been fixed since then, but I thought that cdr_mysql 
was deprecated..

 I ask because I have been utilizing OpenSER but find myself constantly

 understand that the set up and tear down may be a tad slower, but

 Instead of flaming, you could accept that not everyone makes software with
 just you in mind.

It isn't a flame. It is an observation and an opinion. I'm happy that 
people are creating new interfaces for Asterisk management, but that 
doesn't mean that I have to like them or the technology that they are 
based on.

People choose to do all sorts of silly things, some more silly than 
others. PSA knows PLESK, so they have used it to build their UI. I use 
PLESK for my Web hosting customers, and although it works, it certainly is 
not pretty nor is it something that I would reccomend as a platform for 
building an Asterisk management application.

Your mileage may vary. Use what works for you.

Wow. Such hostility. Some corrections.

2. N2Net, of which I an the Vice President, started 11 years ago as a 1

important. What is important is that you haven't even taken the time to

Yes.. I host several thousand websites with PLESK, and as such am quite 
well positioned to voice an opinion about their software and

industry, but the industry has pretty low standards. I dislike PLESK for a 
variety of reasons and personally see that someone using it as a basis for 
a Web UI for Asterisk is trying to push a square peg through a round hole.

That doesn't mean that VoipNow sucks, just means that I'll probably not 
use it or reccomend it to my clients because I think the architecture 
and design are fudamentally flawed, and it's my reputation on the line.

However, if someone asked me for a reccomendation on a Control Panel 
software for Web Hosting, I would have no hesitations reccomending PLESK 
to them, provided they understand the limitations of the platform.

 Dude, we all have opinions, like crapholes they
 all stink, your's just stood out.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and you have every right to

[asterisk-users] Polycom 1.6.7 Firmware Messages Button

2006-07-29 Thread Greg Boehnlein
Hello,
I recently updated some Polycom 501 phones to the new 1.6.7 
firmware, and have lost the ability to do One Touch voicemail access via 
the messages button.

I've verified that I have the correct XML tags set in the phone config, 
I.E.:

msg.bypassInstantMessage=1
mwi msg.mwi.1.subscribe=
msg.mwi.1.callBackMode=contact
msg.mwi.1.callBack=85100

I've wiped the phone clean, and re-installed firmware and configs, and it 
still acts as if the msg.bypassInstantMessage tag is set to 0 and displays 
the status of the messages in the mailbox.

I didn't see anything in the release notes indicating a change in the 
behavior of these tags.

Anyone have any suggestions?

[Asterisk-Users] Centos 4.3 Issues

2006-05-22 Thread Greg Boehnlein
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone out there is successfully running 
Asterisk 1.2 svn w/ Centos 4.3. I had an experience over the last two 
weeks that has me scratching my head and muttering strange things in the 
wee hours of the morning. I am going to try and be as descriptive as my 
brain will allow right now, but if there is something that I do not cover, 
please do not hesitate to ask and I'll be happy to answer.

For the last 2 years, I have been running a mixture of Tao Linux 
and Centos (both RHEL derivatives) on our production boxes. Asterisk has 
run flawlessly on all installations. Last week, I updated one of our 
gateway boxes from Centos 4.2 (under which it ran for 6 months without 
issue) to the new 4.3 code. Almost immediately, we began to experience 
problems. Asterisk would core w/ the following:

#0  0x004878ab in test_err () from 
/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/codec_g729a.so

The segfaults would happen under very light loads, in some cases 
with just a single call. Kevin was able to log in to the box, and put a 
debugging version of codec_g729 on the box. He determined that the problem 
was that the values that were being returned in that routine were 
incorrect. I.E. something in the system was returning a non-zero value 
when multiplying a number by 0. Barring any other explanations, we 
assumed that there was a hardware issue somewhere, either in the memory, 
or the FPU on the CPU.
So, we replaced the box w/ a brand new Dual-Core system running a 
Dual-Core Pentium D 920. We loaded the 32 bit version of Centos 4.3 onto 
the box and proceeded to start testing. BAM.. same problem.. the backtrace 
showed the failure in the same routine.
We scratched our heads, and after many hours of trying various 
things (backing off the kernel to 2.6.9-22) and even moving to the new 
development kernel 2.6.9-34.19 (from the testing tree) we could do nothing 
to solve the issue.
Mind you, this is the exact same behavior on two different 
hardware platforms running the exact same distribution. We even loaded up 
a third box and could reproduce the behavior on it as well. Three 
different boxes, one common distribution.

As a test, we installed Fedora Core 5 x86_64 on the new Dual Core 
box and ran extensive tests overnight, simulating 96 channels doing G729 
to Ulaw transcoding. The box ran completely stable. No hiccups.

So, this morning, we put it back into the cluster, and it's now 
taking about 200 concurrent calls, doing an insane amount of transcoding 
and it is working just fine. Before, it would have cored in the first 
couple of minutes.

I'm scratching my head here, because I generally have had excellent 
experiences with Centos. However, I have NO idea what might be the issue 
here. Could it be the kernel? (We tried three different ones!). Could it 
be the libc? Maybe it is the compiler?

In any case, if anyone is having success with Centos 4.3 (32 bit), please 
speak up. I'd like to get to the bottom of it. I generally do not like to 
run Fedora on production equipment as it is generally bleeding edge. In 
this case, FC5 is running 2.6.16 something..

No. Not really in the plans either. Standard policy w/ Asterisk around

 I am assuming you have made sure the dist is up to date with patches.
 We do not use 729, so I cannot try it out for you, but we do use CentOS.
 Is it only w/ SVN, or all releases of *?

This happens to be with the 1.2 SVN branch.

 tried recompiling everything?

We recompiled Asterisk, libpri and zaptel. The one system was an upgrade

RE: [Asterisk-Users] RE: 5,000 concurrent calls system rollout question

2006-02-04 Thread Greg Boehnlein
On Thu, 2 Feb 2006, John Todd wrote:

[SNIP]

 3) Nobody else has thus far taken the bait and made any comments 
 about their systems. I appreciate Signate's comments; they seem to be 
 the only ones to publicly claim large-scale throughput using Asterisk 
 in a public forum.  Most other people who claim thousands or even 
 high hundreds of connections do so offhand, without responding to 
 second questions when I raise my figurative eyebrows.

John,
Per our conversation in San Fransciso, I am starting to push a 
couple of my Asterisk boxes farther than I've gone before. I'm not yet 
anywhere near the 5,000 concurrent call level on my boxes, but I am 
starting to see 150-160 concurrent calls coming through the system. In 
this case, these are SIP to SIP where Asterisk is staying in the media 
stream, but rarely transcoding. Approximately 99% of the calls coming 
through are just pass-through g729, with the occasional gsm conversion. 
I'm running Asterisk 1.2.4-svn in a completely stock configuration. I.E. 
no patches whatsoever, and absolutely performance tweaks. In fact, the 
system is running using MALLOC_DEBUG to catch memory leaks and is built 
using dont-optimize so we can get backtraces if things go south.

My Dial-Plan is highly optimized, with a focus on being as 
efficient as possible while offering failover options for call completion.

 4) There are still no notes on other problems with scale here.  I've 
 had systems with several hundred simultaneous SIP connections, but 
 sip show channels sure does start to take a while.  What _other_ 
 problems crop up, but don't necessarily cause a failure condition?

Well, debugging anything on the console with 160 concurrent calls coming 
through the system (sometimes 4-5 calls / second) is nearly impossible. 
Most of the time, I don't even run the console, and simply execute 
commands from a bash prompt as asterisk -rx 'sip show channels'. I 
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS issue a set verbose 0 before I reload the box, as 
a reload causes the box to hiccup slightly while it is printing the data 
to the console.

I had originally opted to write CDRs to disk and then import them into a 
SQL database, but after I cleaned up my dial-plan, I opted to use 
cdr_odbc. I am concerned that this could cause a blocking condition if the 
SQL server is unavailable, but for now I'm taking the risk because I need 
to have real-time stats on call statistics.

 5) I will agree that most SIP testing systems are currently too 
 pricey.  I would love to find a well-connected network that rents out 
 a few of the better-known SIP testing tools to beat on Asterisk 
 installations in remote places for short periods of time.   But this 
 has always been the case... test gear is a small market, and 
 expensive.  Just look at the MSRP of new high-end HP Oscilloscopes if 
 you want to get a picture of price-gouging.

I know that Olle spent some time at SipIt w/ Asterisk, and he's been 
interested in doing some additional compliance and scalability testing. 
I'd like nothing better than to get a couple of key developers together 
for a weekend of scalability bashing somewhere, preferably outside of the 
regular conference circuit (too distracting) to push things to their 
limits.

Yeah, but he's already stated that he will be using MX2800 muxes.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] T3 Mux and Asterisk Question

2006-01-22 Thread Greg Boehnlein

 I have a T3 coming from my carrier.  From there I want to use an Adtran
 mx2800 T1 Mux to break the T3 into 28 T1/PRI which feed into seven quad
 T1/PRI equipped servers.
 
 Everything seems very straight forward with the exception of the D
 channels for the T1/PRI.
 
 I am not very familiar with large circuits such as T3s.  I know that I
 can use one D channel per set of quad port on each server.  So if each
 server has a quad port card, I can use one channel as the D channel for
 all four spans.
 
 That gives me seven D channels in my setup.  Does anyone know how the
 Mux handles these D channels onto the T3?  My guess is the Mux is simple
 going to send all of the channels onto the T3 without modifying
 anything. 

That's correct. The T1 spans on the DS3 are completely independent of the 
clocking on the DS3. The D-channel and timing is something that will be 
handled by your upstream Telco and the switch that you'll be connecting 
to. Or, your own box.. ;)
 
 What I would really like to do is have one D channel coming in on the T3
 and have it split between each of the T1/PRI or even better one D
 channel per quad (I know Asterisk can do that). 
 
 Is it possible?

No.

 If the Adtran mx2800 cannot do it, is there anther
 product that can.  I have looked at the RAD Optimux T3 product but have
 had great experience with Adtran products.  The price is the same but
 the Adtran allows for two controller cards so it seems to have more
 built in redundancy.
 
 Any tips would be appreciated.

Adtran's MX-2800 is our choice for Muxes. They are solid, reliable and 
work well. Adtran's technical support is amazing. When you purchase an 
MX-2800, you are immediately given access to the Adtran Carrier support 
group, which doesn't even blink about sending out an advance replacement 
unit overnight if you ask.

 Thanks for some answers, that is what I thought.  
 
 Asterisk is NFAS capable so I am looking at seven D channels on the T3 I
 guess.  I don't want to put a D channel on each T1 or I will lose
 several channels that could be used for calls.  
 
 I wonder if there is any way that Asterisk can do NFAS across multiple
 servers.  I would put two cards in a box but they will be doing g729
 transcoding so I don't want to push it, so it is one per server.

Hehehe.. Ask your Telco if they can provision E1 for you. ;) The Digium 
cards can handle E1 or T1, and if you go E1 you'll get 30 channels instead 
of 24 on the span.

[Asterisk-Users] Dialstatus Oddity in 1.2

2006-01-21 Thread Greg Boehnlein
Hello all,
I am working on a creating some intelligent failover dial-plan 
logic and I'm running into something that I'd like some feedback on. 
Basically, it appears that if you place a call to an IAX2 peer that 
refuses the connection, or is unavailable, a NOANSWER dialstatus is 
returned.

Example:

-- Executing Macro(IAX2/cubix-19, nocdial|IAX2/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]/1216410) in new stack
-- Executing Dial(IAX2/cubix-19, IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/1216410|30) 
in new stack
-- Called [EMAIL PROTECTED]/1216410
Jan 21 19:16:07 WARNING[1114]: chan_iax2.c:6970 socket_read: Call rejected by 
207.166.192.188: No authority found
-- Hungup 'IAX2/pbx1-21'
  == No one is available to answer at this time (1:0/0/0)
-- Executing Goto(IAX2/cubix-19, s-NOANSWER|1) in new stack
-- Goto (macro-nocdial,s-NOANSWER,1)
-- Executing Hangup(IAX2/cubix-19, ) in new stack
-- Hungup 'IAX2/cubix-19'

Shouldn't that return CONGESTION instead? I thought that NOANSWER was 
reserved for calls that reach app_dial's timeout limit?

Or am I just missing something simple?

Here is the relevant extensions.conf logic that I am using

[e164]
; Dundi
exten = _1NXXNXX,1,Macro(dundi-e164,${EXTEN})
; Dispatch First Trunk
exten = _1NXXNXX,2,Macro(nocdial,${TRUNK}/${EXTEN})
exten = _1NXXNXX,3,ResetCDR
; On Failure, Dispatch Second Trunk
exten = _1NXXNXX,4,Macro(nocdial,${TRUNK2}/${EXTEN})
exten = _1NXXNXX,5,ResetCDR
; Third time is a charm?
exten = _1NXXNXX,6,Macro(nocdial,${TRUNK3}/${EXTEN})

[macro-nocdial]
exten = s,1,Dial(${ARG1},30)
exten = s,2,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten = s-NOANSWER,1,Hangup
exten = s-BUSY,1,Busy(15)
exten = s-BUSY,2,Hangup
exten = s-CONGESTION,1,NoOp
exten = s-CHANUNAVAIL,1,NoOp
exten = s-.,1,Goto(s-NOANSWER,1)

 Thank you...

If it is of any assistance, we just dropped a 90 seat call center with a

it is still going strong! ;)

It's being hammered without mercy, and this is a single Intel 3Ghz CPU 
doing SIP - ZAP w/ G729 and SIP - SIP Passthrough. They are averaging 
about a call a second through the box.

We had more problems with our SIP Termination upstream not being able to 
handle the load... Asterisk didn't blink.

  Given the issue is happening with both PRI's and IAX links, I'd have to

 Actually, I'm not complaining, but I've experienced a similar problem. 
 For me it only happens with IAX calls, and from there only IAX calls 
 with a particular ITSP.

I have that problem when using IAX transport as well. I've just ignored it 
until now, cause it is on a home box.
 
 But his description rings very true: there are two rings per time that 
 the far-end phone is ringing, and just like he said, one of them sounds 
 genuine and the other sounds like perhaps my provider is adding it to 
 the audio coming my way.
 
 The dinger is that it doesn't happen on all calls; it's more or less 
 random, but frequent.
 
 I don't mind it, though, so I'd never complained about it on the list.
 
 FWIW.

 - merged patch for bug 5374 (asynchronous generation of outgoing frames)

 extension states)
 - some debug output clean ups in libpri

Per other discussions on this issue, that patch breaks a ton of stuff (IAX 
Jitter Buffer, Music On Hold etc..). Although it does solve some issues, 
it really needs to be reviewed by They Who Decide Such Things as it has 
far reaching impact on other areas of the system.

Why not just use the astdb instead of a file? Dundi does it..

[Asterisk-Users] Bugs that Need Your Input!

2006-01-18 Thread Greg Boehnlein
Hello,
I know that Mog was trying to get the bug-tracker cleaned up as 
the number of bugs has increased substantially over the past few months. I 
figured that I would do my part to bring attention to a couple of bugs 
that are interesting and have some wide reaching impact. That being said:

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5970
 - This has a patch created by Corydon, but it has segfaulted on three 
   different boxes. Backtraces are attached to help track this down.

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=6027
 - This is related to the bug above and has a different patch that
   might be relevant.

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5374
 - This is a patch that allows for the asychronous generation of outgoing 
   frames. Very cool. Needs a decision by the Core Developers (Read Kram / 
   KPFleming). BJ has been keeping this in synch w/ Trunk in his own 
   branch.

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5090
 - T.38 Support anyone?

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5574
 - A nifty new app called Find Me, Follow Me that does exactly what it 
   says.

If you can, take a look at these and add your entropy to the mix!

I suspect that since the authors of ICD are no longer really submitting

someone wants to pick up and take on maintenance of the code. As far as I 
know, ICD was never officially accepted into the mainline tree and was

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dual PRI fail over

 I currently have a single PRI however we are getting a second PRI, and the
 provider (qwest) wants to know if our PBX supports GSAS (they say its a
 redundant d-channel technology but searching on google for GSAS reveals less
 than nothing).  I've set something similar up before on a cisco 5350, where if
 one of the PRIs fails, all of the calls destined for either PRI will be routed
 down the one that didn't fail.  Basically the 2 PRIs are bonded together, and
 act as one.  During normal operation the calls come down each PRI in a load
 balanced fashion (IE if I've got 30 calls up, 15 will be on one PRI and 15 on
 the other).
 
 Is there any way to set something similar to this up in Asterisk?
 Tom

They are probably talking about NFAS. And after looking at the date of 
this message, it's probably a moot point. But I'm not sure if NFAS is 
supported under Libpri/Zaptel. I'd suspect that if it is, it might not be 
widely deployed and/or tested with it.

Hello,
Rumor has it that the TDM2400 series cards will be available in 
the next week or so. If you are a distributor that has pricing / 
availability information, please contact me offlist. I am putting together 
a solution for a client that will require a TDM2420E (8 Port FXS w/ Echo 
Can) and I need to compare it against an Audiocodes 8 port SIP - FXS 
gateway.

1.2 will never be called Stable, based on the controversy surrounding the

People tend to confuse Stable as in No Additional Features, Bug Fixes

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Updated Patch to chan_agent.c for PREACKANNOUNCE

2005-08-26 Thread Greg Boehnlein
On Thu, 18 Aug 2005, Hadar Pedhazur wrote:

 First, many thanks to Greg Boehnlein for his patch to chan_agent.c
 for adding a preackannounce option.
 
 I am running CVS HEAD from 2005/07/31, and the patch failed in a
 few hunks, since the code was refactored to add in some CASE
 statements where there were compound if statements before.
 
 Anyway, I have successfully updated the patch to work against head
 as of 3 weeks ago, and would happily share that with anyone who is
 interested (just drop me a line off list).
 
 If a diff is preferable to the full 70k of C, just let me know
 what the correct options are for creating a diff suitable for
 patching the asterisk tree.
 
 OK, that said, I have a few questions and comments on this topic.
 This is my first use of the Queue command (very successfully so
 far), but I am afraid that expanding my use will require further
 patches, and I would like to verify that first.
 
 1) If I use the syntax:
 
 Member = SIP/100 (rather than member = Agent/100, which maps to
 SIP/100)
 
 Then ackcall isn't used at all. In other words, a hard-wired
 member seems to ignore the agents.conf file completely. Is this
 the desired behavior? (It isn't for me...)

It is the correct behavior because when you use SIP/100, chan_sip (which 
has no concept of an agent) is being used instead of chan_agent to 
deliver the call. Think of chan_agent as an intermediary between the PBX 
core and the physical endpoint. chan_agent accepts the call, puts the 
caller on hold and then grabs chan_sip to complete the other side of the 
call. When all requirements of chan_agent are met, it then proceeds to 
bridge the two calls together and get out of the way.
 
 2) Since agents.conf is a separate file from queues.conf, having
 multiple queues does _not_ permit multiple preackannounce
 messages, each tied to a different queue (this strikes me as
 having better been patched into the Queue command). Similarly, you
 can't have one queue that has ackcall=yes, and another with
 ackcall=no.

Right. It's a botched design and chan_agent's design doesn't lend itself 
to being very helpful in the process, but that is where it had to go. This 
is the reason that I dropped work on it, as ICD was a much more 
intelligent design at the time.

 3) I have the _exact_ same source version of CVS HEAD (from
 2005/07/31) running on different servers (after a cvs co, I tar
 the source so that I can be sure I'm running _identical_
 versions).
 
 On one machine, when an Agent logs in, I can see it in the DB,
 database show shows a key of:
 
 //Agents/1001  : [EMAIL PROTECTED];1001
 
 On another machine, the DB shows _nothing_, yet the
 AgentCallbackLogin application works correctly (logging agents in
 and out), and shows the correct mapping on the CLI during a login.
 Still, the DB has _no trace_ of the Agents. I can't explain the
 difference in behavior, and would _love_ to have someone solve
 that mystery for me.
 
 I'm hoping that I am missing something obvious in the interaction
 between the Queue command and the Agents channel, and that some
 kind soul here will educate me. Otherwise, I think I might be off
 to doing more work in C than I ever though I would again in my
 life ;-).

Don't have an answer for this one. :)

 Just since I am curious, what version of VMWare did you use and what kind of
 box where you running on?

4.5 and 5.0 variants of Vmware Workstation and CoLinux on top of a Windows 
host environment. Same applies for running Vmware under a Linux host 
environment as well. Machines where 2.8 Ghz Dell boxes w/ 1.5 gigs of ram.
 
 I've just moved my * box to a VM on ESX server and didn't play with
 voicemail until you mentioned it - now Allison's voice cuts in and out.
 Sounds like I am going to have to go back to the box I was running on
 previously. My original box is a P3 500 desktop while my VMWare ESX box is a
 dual P3 1.4GHz HP Proliant server.

You would probably get the BEST performance by using User Mode Linux, w/ 
the latest SKAS patches. I know someone that does this and only 
occasionally has a dropped frame in audio here and there.

 The details of the features are impressive.  For the details visit:

 You can download a 30-day demo.
 
 If cost will be a problem, IP Cop is also a good solution.  This is
 what we have been using.

I second the vote on Astaro. They have, without a doubt, fused the best 
features of a Perimiter Security Device w/ Open Software and an excellent 
GUI. Version 6.0 now includes a SIP proxy as well! ;)

2005-08-13 Thread Greg Boehnlein

 Short answer: NO
 
 Long answer: you have to send it to Digium for them to do an upgrade,
 they don't have an official process for this yet and won't give you a
 price, I have called and asked them many times. They also mention
 upgrades from your 405/410 to a 406/411 are available too, but again
 no specifics. Supposedly if you have a card with the 2nd gen firmware
 on it you can upgrade to the third gen firmware, whenever it would
 come out, in the field.

Hmm.. That's funny. I called yesterday and talked to someone who told me 
the upgrade to Second Gen firmware was free, but that if I wanted to add 
the Echo Cancelling module, it would be $850. Since I do not have any 
major echo issues that software echo cancelling can't fix, I declined the 
upgrade. They even offered me an advance replacement option as long as I 
provided a Credit Card.

The RMA process was painless. I spoke with Joy Lister. I should have my 
new card early next week.

 Am I banging my head against at Windows/VMware/Linux/Asterisk

It's not going to work. Vmware presents a complete Virtual PC, so unless 
EMC / Vmware release drivers to specifically connect the Virtual PC to the 
real PC hardware, you are in trouble. The do a pass-through w/ USB, Serial 
and Paralell, but those are a different story.

 With a great amount of effort, I can drum up a spare machine, but I REALLY
 don't want to do this and would much prefer the VMware setup. Any advice
 will be welcomed.

I'm afraid that under any Virtual platform (CoLinux, Vmware, MS Virutal 
PC) you are SOL as far as real access to hardware on the host PCI bus 
w/out special drivers written specifically for that purpose. On the other 
hand, I'm sure that Vmware would be happy to help you out if you gave them 
a couple of million bucks! ;)

 Agreed. You would be better to grab a used $200 machine and install  
 linux  Asterisk on it. Unless you are scaling up to at least 10+  
 simultaneous calls, I would imagine that something you have lying  
 around would handle it.
 
 If you insist on VMWare, I would imagine that you could configure a  
 Sipura SPA-3000 to provide incoming (FXO) and analog extension (FXS)  
 ports

This works. I've done it on occasion for testing. However, because virtual 
PCs rarely operate on a real-time clock, mostly emulating these features, 
you will find that anything that read/writes to disk will suck badly. For 
example, it is nearly impossible to use the Voicemail features of Asterisk 
under Vmware, CoLinux or UserMode Linux. Believe me, I've tried! ;)

This is one of the main reasons that AstWind has stagnated. The timing

[Asterisk-Users] Memory Leak in Stable?

2005-07-20 Thread Greg Boehnlein
Hello,
I have a client that has a fairly small installation (20 SIP 
Phones) that is running Stable. Asterisk appears to be consuming large 
quantities of memory, and growing uncontrollably to the point where after 
about 6 weeks the box starts to swap itself to death. I've been keeping my 
eye on it today, and in the last 12 hours, it has grown by about 8 
megabytes, and there has been no-one in the office placing any calls.

Funny thing about codecs.. Sometimes you will get better quality audio and 
less chop when using ulaw on crappy connections. Why? Very simply because 
it sends less total audio information per packet, so it can withstand 
dropped packets a lot better than a highly compressed codec, especially 
with a good jitter buffer and PLC implementation on the other side. I'd 
expect that Vonage is running something with a decent PLC and Jitter 
buffer, which would explain your results.

Try using CVS head and enabling the SIP jitter buffer and PLC code w/ Ulaw 
and see if it improves your results.

 Cisco 7960 - Asterisk - PRI

If it is Near Side echo (I.E. on the 7960 side) try telling your people to 
lower the handset volume to 50% and see if it goes away. I've found that 
the 7960's have very sensitive mics in the handset and if the earpiece 
volume is too high, the mic will pick it up and it shows up as a really 
annoying echo artifact that will drive you nuts. Nothing you will do on 
the Asterisk side will take care of it.

[Asterisk-Users] Dundi - Multiple Results

2005-06-15 Thread Greg Boehnlein
Hello,
If one is using Dundi, and it returns multiple, weighted routes to 
a destination, how is that applied in the dial-plan?

asterisk*CLI dundi lookup 1588XXX
  1.   400 IAX2/dundi:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/1588XXX 
(EXISTS|NOUNSLCTD|NOCOMUNSLTD)
 from 00:30:48:71:26:70, expires in 1098 s
  2.   400 IAX2/dundi:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/1588XXX 
(EXISTS|NOUNSLCTD|NOCOMUNSLTD)
 from 00:30:48:71:27:51, expires in 1098 s
DUNDi lookup completed in 560 ms

How do I then take that information and cycle through it? According to the 
help for the DundiLookup application:

asterisk*CLI show application DUNDiLookup 
asterisk*CLI 
  -= Info about application 'DUNDiLookup' =- 

[Synopsis]:
Look up a number with DUNDi

[Description]:
DUNDiLookup(number[|context[|options]])
  Looks up a given number in the global context specified or in
the reserved 'e164' context if not specified.  Returns -1 if the channel
is hungup during the lookup or 0 otherwise.  On completion, the variable
${DUNDTECH} and ${DUNDDEST} will contain the technology and destination
of the appropriate technology and destination to access the number. If no
answer was found, and the priority n + 101 exists, execution will continue
at that location.

But does that return everything? Or just a single result?

Aint that the truth.. We were, for the most part, very very busy. In fact,

I did take some time on Tuesday and walk the floor, but there wasn't

We got lots of questions about the E911 issue, to which I replied

However, I'm glad to see that someone as knowledgeable and well-respected

As Rick pointed out, the Digium booth could use some volunteers to

 Actually, this is whats facing me right now. I think Dundi will resolve the
 problem, but I've never really placed it to the test. Anyone tested Dundi?
 
 Best Regards,

I run it in production on CVS-Stable and it works without a problem.

Our usage of it is to have multiple gateway servers that can dynamically 
respond to outages without human intervention. I.E. a customer's dial-plan 
will be setup to return multiple routes and it will try them in order of 
preference. If one fails, the next available route will be tried and so 
on.

Here is a snippet of some information from one of the working drafts that 
N2Net is putting together on using Dundi as the core of a Fault-Tolerant 
network. It is incomplete, and has some stuff that is a bit wrong, but it 
is a starting point. Much of the really intelligent sounding stuff is 
ripped right from the Dundi RFC...


The two gateways will be reponsible for publishing weighted Dundi 
routes to their PSTN (PRI) and VoIP Termination carriers. They will 
also be responsible for recieving inbound PSTN and VoIP traffic and 
routing the calls back to the customer.

DUNDi is designed to facilitate the sharing of resources that can be 
used to terminate phone numbers by using a peer to peer system, 
requiring no centralized controlling authority, no single point of 
failure, and no enforced heirarchy. In this way, systems sharing a 
dialplan across an enterprise or across the globe can be assembled in 
an ad-hoc manor, while retaining confidence in the accuracy of the 
routes that are supplied and the security of both the queries and the 
answers within the trust group.

Route Weights
-
A Weight is a value indicating the relative cost or indirection of a 
particular published number. A lower weight represents a route which 
is more direct to the intended location. The lowest weight value is 0. 
The generally accepted route weights for the Dundi Peering network are 
0,100 and 400. The HAC will publish route weights of 0-99 to internal, 
private peers, and 100-400 for external Dundi-E.164 and Dundi-Test 
networks.

This will allow routes to be prioritized, such that PSTN will always 
be used where possible but VoIP routes will be available if PSTN 
access is not. This will also allow the HAC to preferentially route 
International traffic using a Least Cost Routing method, preferring 
VoIP routes, or a particular PRI span if neccessary.

A weight of 0-24 indicates a PSTN route to a dedicated carrier.
A weight of 25-49 indicates a failover PSTN route to a carrier.
A weight of 50-74 indicates a Primary VoIP route.
A weight of 75-99 indicates a Seconddary VoIP route.
A weight of 100+ indicates a least-preferred route to a private or 
public Dundi connected network, such as Dundi-E.164, Dundi-Test or 
FWD-out.

For what it's worth..

[Asterisk-Users] Zapata.Conf Sanity Check

2005-05-06 Thread Greg Boehnlein
Hello,
Haven't had a chance to test this configuration yet, so I can't 
really answer my own question, but wanted to get a couple of eyeballs to 
look at it and verify that I'm going to get the behavior that I expect out 
of it. Basically, I have a TE405P w/ 3 PRI to the Telco and one going to a 
legacy PBX, all speaking NI-2 (National ISDN 2). I need to use pri_cpe 
w/ the Telco and pri_net for the PBX, and I want them in different 
groups. I hacked the following up last night, while falling asleep, and 
I'm pretty sure it will do what I want, but I'd like a second opinion.

; Zapata telephony interface
;
; Configuration file

[channels]
; Inbound PRI from Telco
context=inbound
switchtype=national
signalling=pri_cpe
group=1
channel = 1-23,25-47,49-71

; Outbound PRI to PBX
context=pbx
switchtype = national
signalling = pri_net
group = 2
channel = 73-95

Thanks..

  What is the real difference between 0 and 1 on the span timing?
 
 all that the clock span means is what span * synchronizes to.
 
 clock of 0 means do not try to synchronize to the clock on this span
 1 means this span is my primary clock sync source
 2 means that if the span with '1' is down, use this one
 3 means if the spans with 1 and 2 are down, use this one

This is very confusing. Most clocking language in the industry refers to 
either Internal or Recovered clocking. Basically, the span can either 
use it's own clock, or attempt to pull it from the line.

Furthermore, zttool appears to be broken and no matter what the setting of 
the span (0,1,2,3) it allways reports Internally clocked.

I actually opened a bug report on this today, after talking to Digium 
technical support, who was very apathetic about it. Basically, the Tech 
said It's a known issue w/ zttool and that if I wanted to report it to 
the bug tracker, perhaps someone in the community would fix it.

So I opened http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=4186

 My guess: They don't want to compete with the folks that OEM Polycom

 phones, and Polycom doesn't want to hurt their relationship with those
 businesses.
 
 I bet that at some point one of the Asterisk-using Polycom vendors gets
 the momentum to get a better Polycom-Asterisk user relationship going.
 The trouble is that most of the Asterisk-using hardware vendors are
 hardware agnostic, and don't want sign anything that says We'll only
 sell Polycom equipment.

This is not the case. I had a long conversation with Polycom's VP of 
Product management at VON this year, and asked why they didn't want to 
support Asterisk. Their response is that Asterisk has not yet completed 
the Self-Certification program w/ Polycom, and that this should be a 
relatively easy thing to do. They recognize that they are missing 
opportunites w/ Asterisk, but they want to make sure that their phones 
work correctly with it, and that Digium will take some responsibility for 
certifying their code w/ Polycom.

Last I heard, Polycom was supposed to be shipping a couple of cases of 
phones to Digium for certification w/ Asterisk Business Edition.

 safe_asterisk is a watchdog script that restarts Asterisk if it craps out.

 Hello,
   I'm looking at building a couple new PRI Gateway boxes using

Per my other costs, I've settled on the following box from General 
Technics for my PRI gateway boxes.

http://www.gtweb.net/gt637.html

I had a pretty detailed conversation with Chris from GT about the board 
and how it is laid out, and it appears that the unit has several PCI 
busses in it and they are separated nicely;

The only stuff on the 5V PCI slot is a 10/100 NIC + the Video. Since there 
is a Gig-E that shares the same bus w/ the SATA drive I can just use that 
and keep the bus free for the TE405. On most of my boxes, I disable the 
Video and use serial console.

I'll keep people up to speed on how this works out.

 Is there a specific SIP or IAX phone that truly shines above the rest
 where it comes to 'happy' compatibility with Asterisk?  I guess I'm

 I, like many others, bought a Budgetone for early testing, and need some

 OHCA is a feature that I'd love to integrate, and it seems that not too
 many phones support it out of the box.

I've got Polycom and Cisco phones and quite frankly, I prefer the Polycom 
Soundpoint IP-500 and 600 to my Cisco's now. All things being equal 
between the phones, the following are why I prefer the Polycoms:

1. Better speakerphone than the Cisco 7960s. Despite the fact that Cisco 
licensed Polycom's SpeakerPhone technology, the SoundPoint IP 500 and 600 
just sound and work better.

2. Lower price point: $185 for a NEW SoundPoint IP 500 is better than the 
$225 I see for used 7960s.

3. FTP based provisioning. TFTP is fine, but doesn't work very well 
through some NAT implementations. The PolyCom's can be centrally 
provisioned from any FTP server, and NAT doesn't seem to be a problem for 
it.

4. More intuitive User Interface. My clients require less training and are 
up and running quicker on the Polycoms.

These are my opinions I love BOTH phones, and you can't go wrong with 
either choice, but for my needs the Polcom's work a lot better.

[Asterisk-Users] Dell PowerEdge SC1425 w/ TE405P?

2005-04-22 Thread Greg Boehnlein
Hello,
I've been asked to build a couple of Gateway servers for a client 
w/ TE405P hardware, and have been looking around at various 1U options. 
I've been looking at SuperMicro and Tyan barbones boxes as possible 
platforms, but then was directed to Dell's SC1425 by a friend. Short 
story, is that you can purchase a 2x3.0Ghz/1GigDDR400/1xSATA box in a 1U 
form factor for $1,498.00. This seems almost too good to be true, so I'm 
asking if anyone has had any experience with this box?

I'm not up on my PCI terminology, but as I understand it, the TE405P can 
only be used in a 32 bit 33Mhz slot at 5.0 Volts. This SC1425 lists a 
1x 64-bit/1xxMHz PCI-X slot under it's expandability information. I'd 
venture to guess this is probably NOT going to work with a TE405P.

That being said, if it works, great. If not, what 1U boxes are people 
using IN PRODUCTION w/ TE405P cards?

I don't have that problem, and I run SIP asterisk on the inside of my LAN. 
I have Sipura, Cisco and Grandstream equipment on the same lan segment. 
However, I use switches so the traffic doesn't hit the Ethernet port on

Yeah.. SIP doesn't deal with NAT very well. What a retarded design

 Realistically, how cheaply can you put together a box with a T-1 card

 that the PC+TE110P+channel bank solution would cost at least $900, and 
 that's using a bargain-basement PC  and a used channel bank.

Or if you didn't need FXS ports, we could take an old PM-3 w/ 50 DSP's in 
it, and a pair of the Dallas Framers to build a T1 channel bank via 
Ethernet. ;)

Seriously, the PM3 would make an awesome platform for an Ethernet to T1 or 
PRI channel bank. The core is an AMD 5x86 processor, it can take 16 megs 
of ram, it has the entire TDM architecture already built into it, and the 
old Modem cards have Lucent DSPs that could easily implement transcoding 
and G.168 echo cancellation.

Best of all, the boxes are dirt cheap, and.. I know for a fact that the 
ComOS has been ported to GCC on Linux and can be built. I've talked with 
the engineer that wrote the drivers for Livingston, and he's been thinking 
of writing an IAX2 stack for it.

 Problem:
Polycom SoundPoint IP phones (running SIP) ceases to send DTMF that
 Asterisk can detect and use.  It worked in 1.0.5, but has not worked
 since.  This has been verified on SoundPoint IP 300's and SoundPoint IP
 600's.
 
 Workaround:
It used to be that for DTMF to work, I had to set the mode in
 sip.conf to inband.  Without making any configuration changes on the
 phones, I changed the DTMF mode to rfc2833.  The DTMF is recognized.
 No reboot to the phone is necessary, and remember that you can reload
 the sip configuration with a reload in Asterisk, meaning your PBX
 doesn't have to be restarted either.
 
 Discussion:
This is probably not the right way to fix this, as Polycom's
 configurations, by default, will encode DTMF in the active RTP stream.
 There may have been a change in the sip channel's code that is causing
 this.  Others on the list have indicated that they worked around the
 problem by reverting the version of the sip app to an older version.
As the new code usually fixes other problems, the solution of
 reverting seemed to be counter-productive, so I tried other DTMF
 signalling modes.  Thankfully, the stock Polycom configs will work with
 Asterisk's sip.conf rfc2833 DTMF mode, at least as of
 CVS-v1-0-03/23/05-21:40:48.  When I get more time, or if someone else
 has the time, an examination of what changed to cause this could enable
 us to fix the heart of the matter.
Other users on the Asterisk list (see thread *-1.0.7 DTFM = Not

 Therefore, there may be a bigger problem with the fundamental issue at
 hand: when do we change DTMF in channels, to ensure compliance with
 standards, as well as compatibility with older UAs.  
 
 Hope this helps someone.

Alright. I updated my Development and Home PBXs to 1.0.7 w/ Slepp's Dundi 
1.0.2_diff-4 patch. Both are running solid. One issue that I noticed is 
that my Polycom SP IP phones had to be changed to use RFC2833 signalling 
instead of the Inband signalling I had been using earlier. I simply 
modified the sip.conf to have dtmfmode=rfc2833. This proved to be a 
slight gotcha for a couple of clients when I updated THEIR boxes. This 
could be just a fluke, and I may be an idiot for having used inband DTMF 
in the first place, but it is something to be concious of. Can anyone 
pinpoint a specific SIP patch that may have been applied where this may 
have been affected? How should this be handled? Should I add it as a new 
bug-note? Or should we just chalk it up and slap a notice in the release 
notes? Should inband signaling be broken in 1.0.7 for Polycom phones? Or 
should it work? I guess this is the question that needs to be asked.. is 
it normal behaviour or a bug? I'm not sure if this is related, but I also 
enabled MMX math routines for Zaptel.

I never got any followup on it before 1.0.7 was dropped.

I'm going to open up a new bug report on this in Mantis and see what we 
can get as far as comments.

 Well this is true.. how reliable is that though?   I know even with

What does it matter? You can't get the information out of just a Start 
packet. All you'll know is that a call was initiated, but you have no idea 
how long the call was, or what the rate/billing should be.

Rob,
Is this with Asterisk-Addons 1.0.7? If so, there was a problem w/ 
the .tgz file that was dropped and Drumkilla has corrected and re-posted 
the correct one. You'll want to re-download the file again and give it 
another try.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Polycom vs. Cisco IP Phones

2005-03-19 Thread Greg Boehnlein
On Thu, 17 Mar 2005, Christopher Jacob wrote:

[Deleted]

 So, the moral of this story
 
 While Polycom may not offer configuration type support for asterisk, they
 stand by their hardware. With Cisco you have to shop around to find a decent
 deal, and who know how you're going to get support. I don't mind using this
 list / the wiki / google / etc. for configuration type questions. After all
 I don't expect Super Micro to help me get FC running on one of their
 motherboards...

Disclaimer: I don't represent Polycom, Cisco or Digium. I represent the 
community ;)

Two comments:

1. Based on VON and the contact I've had w/ Polycom's VP of Product 
Marketing there, and their ensuing contact w/ Digium, you can be assured 
that Polycom understands that their stance on the Asterisk community has 
to change and that they are taking steps to correct their previous 
behavior. I'm sure that there will be more official announcements about 
this as things develop, but Polycom is very very very interested in 
cutting through the corporate red-tape and getting Asterisk certified as 
an interoperable platform. They have a self certification program that 
vendors can use to flesh out issues and get on the approved list. Their 
interest is in ensuring that the products work well together and that 
their engineers have a clear line of communication with the vendors into 
any technical difficulties. Previous to VON, the right people were not in 
the mix. Now, that has been solved and there should be some momentum 
building.

2. Cisco supports phones that are under maintenance contract. I've never 
had an issue w/ cisco support on any product that had the requisite 
Smartnet on it. If your going to use Cisco, make sure that you get phones 
from a vendor that can provide the appropriate Smartnet. For three years, 
8x5 Next Business Day replacement, it cost me about $21 / phone. 7960's 
may be more difficult to get this on, but 7960G's shouldn't be a problem.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Realtime Problem = Segmentation faults Seems to be asterisk

  Hi:
 I had asterisk with RealTime database working perfectly in a RH 9.0 
  machine.  I used the sip cache so I even had MWI working.  The problem 
  is that I decided to move to Fedora Core 3.  I installed the lastets 
  cvs version of asterisk and the RealTime addon from asterisk-addons.  
  I at first had the problems with the kernel and the zaptel driver but 
  all that was solved with the configuration from the Asterisk Wiki.  
  Then when I moved my configuration to the new asterisk server and 
  configured the RealTime addon it falls in a Segmentation fault.  If I 
  do not load the res_config_mysql.so (edited at modules.conf) then 
  asterisks runs without any problem.  But if I load the module from 
  boot or from the asterisk command load res_config_mysql.so then I get 
  the Segmentation fault again.
 
  I'm not sure what the problem is.  Is it a Fedora Core 3 problem, or 
  an Asterisk latest version problem?
  I don't think it is a configuration problem because I just used the 
  same configuration I had before.  The only diferences may be the OS 
  and probably the asterisk version that is only one week newer than the 
  one I was running in the old asterisk server, so I'm probably even 
  running the same version of asterisk in both machines.
 
  Any advise?  Someone else have a similar configuration working with 
  Fedora Core 3?
 
  Thanks in advance,

 Debugging the code and as you can see in the backtrace the problem is 
 that it is receiving a Null variable (name) and then making the 
 comparison.  Is it an asterisk bug?  What asterisk should do if the 
 variable name received is NULL?

Has this been entered into the Bug Tracker? If so, what bug number was it 
assigned?

  Hello everyone,
 
  Version 1.0.7 of Asterisk, Zaptel, libpri, and Asterisk-addons has now

  ftp://ftp.asterisk.org/pub/asterisk/
 
  I have posted the ChangeLogs for easy viewing at the following address.
 
  http://dev.asteriskdocs.org/
 
 Russell,
 
 I like the info there.
 It would be also interesting WHEN the release date was, 
 It shows, when the development stops, 

As a side note, the Changelog should also reflect what Bug Tracker IDs 
where fixed. If you look at a RedHat Enterprise Linux changelogs, they 
give a good example of what I consider excellent information.

Something like this:

* Mon Nov 15 2004 Chris Feist [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6.0.2-0

- Build for new kernel.
- Fixed circular dependency in GFS fsck (rbz137256).
- gulm_tool prints resources/services registered with lock_gulmd (rbz136220).
- init.d/lock_gulmd will not start if quorum is not established after
  a specified time (rbz135732).
- init.d/lock_gulmd will not stop if GFS is mounted (rbz135730).
- pool init.d scripts no longer hang on startup until console input
  is provided (rbz137382).
- pool_assemble now contains the override option (-O) (rbz137381).
- Support for perl-Crypt-SSLeay added to fence_ilo (rbz137037).
- Support added for configurable SSL port locations in fence_ilo (rbz137035).
- Panics now print out the whole panic string as part of the panic.
  Before, the panic message itself didn't contain any information.
  The useful stuff was printed with printk()s before the panic and
  might not have been seen in a setup without serial consoles.
- A fix for BZ #135684.  Fixed a panic caused by incorrect locking
  of the list of recently used resource groups.  Reported and patched
  by [EMAIL PROTECTED]

* Tue Nov 09 2004 Chris Feist [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6.0.0-17

- Make /etc/sysconfig/gfs a config file in the .spec file.
- Added fence_bladecenter to the file list (rbz136585).

Did you make clean first? I compiled fine.. granted, I'm not using the

If you look closely, you'll see me at the booth doing some troubleshooting
for Digium during one of my session breaks. We actually setup an IAX2 
connection from the main server to the N2Net Gateway server and made 
several test calls to flesh out a couple of call completion anomalies.

VON was a total blast. Can't wait for Boston!

[Asterisk-Users] Re: Polycom IP 300/500 Conferencing Behavior

2005-03-17 Thread Greg Boehnlein
On Fri, 21 Jan 2005, Greg Boehnlein wrote:

 Hello,
   I've got a mixture of SPIP 300 and 500 phones in production for 
 various clients. I've got the XML settings configured for local 
 conferencing, but I'm not seeing the expected behavior from the phone when 
 I attempt to conference two calls together. According to the manual, while 
 talking to the first party, you simply hit Conference, dial the second 
 party and then Conference to join them. This is supposed to put the first 
 party on Hold until you bridge them together with the second press of the 
 Conference button.
   That is all fine and well, but it doesn't quite work the way that 
 the manual describes. Instead of joining the two calls together when the 
 Conference key is pressed for the second time, the first party is taken 
 off hold and hears dead silence. The only way to correctly join the 
 parties is to hit the Hold and then Resume soft key, at which point all 
 three parties can talk to each other.
 
 As an illustration
 
 Conf - Dial - Conf doesn't work.
 
 However,
 
 Conf - Dial - Conf - Hold - Resume DOES work.
 
   I'm running 1.3.4 firmware on all the phones, and I can't for the 
 life of me figure out what is causing this problem. It is very likely some 
 misconfiguration in the XML files, but I can't find it. Anyone have any 
 suggestions?

Hello,
I just thought I would follow-up on this post and mention that 
somwhere between Jan 21st and today, the Conferencing issue that I 
described below is no longer an issue. Normally, I wouldn't include the 
entire quoted context of the message for bandwidth reasons, but in this 
case, since the topic is nearly 2 months old, I figured it would be 
helpful to keep things consistent and on-thread.

I'm not sure what may have been fixed. I.E. I don't know if it was 
a patch to chan_sip in stable or what. All I can tell you is that I 
haven't made a single change to either sip.conf or my XML config files, 
since the original posting in January. However, I have updated asterisk 
several times from the 1.0 branch.

I'm happy that this is fixed, but I am going to do a little more reasearch 
to see if I can get it to fail again by backdating chan_sip and 
incrementing it forward.

This should be interesting. :)
