[asterisk-users] voip-info.org status update

2007-03-14 Thread James H Thompson
A short status update:

Yesterday 3 of the 4 disk drives in the RAID array on the server that hosts 
voip-info.org failed.

The coloprovider is currently working to replace the drives and I'm hoping that 
the site returns to service soon.
Tomorrow is looking most likely.

I'd like to thank all those that have called or emailed to offer help and/or 
encouragement.

I will definately be looking for an easy way to create a mirror site once 
voip-info.org is back up.
This is made difficult by the dynamic nature of the site, but its been on my 
list of things to do for a while now.

Thanks for using voip-info.org!

We do not have any four-wire analog cards, so we cannot handle analog EM

Analog DID can be done using ground start as well, so it's possible than 
an FXS port could be convinced to do it, but nobody has implemented it,

Re: [Asterisk-Users] http://www.voip-info.org/ front page taken outby spammer

2005-08-08 Thread James H. Thompson



History page is back.
I think it got too big for the software to deal 
with.
I changed it to show only the last 100 versions.

There is an 'undo' option on the history page, but its never 
worked correctly, and so I have not enabled it.
I'm working on a software upgrade that will hopefully address 
some of these issues.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] sip/rtp performance monitoring

2005-08-06 Thread James H. Thompson



If the customers are using an ATA or other VOIP device that 
supports RTCP, then you can often get packet loss and jitter stats 
by
extracting the RTCP packets and analyzing them.
This will actually give you the packet loss and jitter that 
the customer is seeing in the received RTP stream from you.
A combination of Tetheral and grep or perl 
can get you along way in capturing and analyzing this data.

Voip-info is back up --in-spite of Murphy's

This was phase I(installlatest version of

Hopefully with Phase II we will see much better performance

For those that asked, theprimary voip-info-org sponsor:

because the software used is rather resource intensive.

Sipura 2100 is supposed to implement T.38 
real-soon-now.

I've got a Multi-tech ATA withT.38 supporton order 
on the theory that Multitech has been making well regarded FAX modems for years 
and might know how to actually do FAX reasonably well.

[Asterisk-Users] Looking for a prepaid calling card platform

2005-01-23 Thread James H. Thompson



I'm looking for a prepaid calling card platform 
that:

* easily scales to multiple servers with a common database 
for: redundancy, capacity, and performance
Looking to start with capacity to handle100 simultaneous 
calls andbe able to easilyscale to 1000+ simultaneous 
calls.

* in addition to the normal anti-fraud measures, supports an 
API for easily adding new anti-fraud tests along the lines of the 
following:

For each newcall being attempted the 
system wouldinvoke an external authentication program and 
pass:reseller ID, card ID, time left on card, called # andcalling #; 
and the history/status for thelast several calls including for each call 
the called #, calling #, call duration, call timestamp andcall status 
(in-progress, completed, etc). Progrm would return: call OK, deny call 
with recording #x, invalidate card with recording #y.

* ability to limit calls to a maxium duration and/or to 
require periodic IVR user response to continue a long call.

* contolled, managed andprovisionedwith a web 
interface

* support multiple resellers, each with password protected web 
access for managing their customers.

* ability for customers to call an 800# tohear a 
recording giving themthe user a local non-800number they need to 
call to use the card.

* credit card recharge support

While willing to do minor customizations, would like to find 
something that is mostlyinstall and go.
Open source would be nice, but willing to pay for a well done 
package.

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Looking for a wireless phone... wifi ortraditional wireless ?

2005-01-13 Thread James H. Thompson



The Vtech istied to Vonage (according to their press 
release)
but I believe that the Uniden is not.
The Uniden press release says:

Uniden introduces 2005 technology partners Lingo, BroadVoice(R) and 
SunRocket(SM). Proving interoperability with these Internet phone service 
providers will allow consumers to use one of these VoIP platforms with Uniden's 
UIP1868 as part of a complete and cost-effective consumer VoIP offering. 

So I'm guessingthat the Uniden phoneis not locked 
to a specific provider.

 a cheap VOIP device. Even the lowest end (i.e. Grandstream) will give

 instead of these devices. At $25 or $40 per port it could make sense
 to use FXS instead of VoIP. I haven't really followed the Linksys
 products; is the PAP2-NA commercially available unlocked? I thought
 they only sold these locked to Vonage.
 

LInksys has restricted sales of the unlocked versions to Service Providers.

 If you are that desperate to use Vonage, then why don't you sign up
 for the secondary soft-client option which is $15 or so IIRC?! That
 will allow you to connect Asterisk directly to Vonage, although you
 pay extra for the privilege.
 
 I personally wouldn't bother and I wouldn't want to take my money to a
 company that uses a business model that I despise. So, vote with your
 wallet. Don't use Vonage. Use a true VoIP service. And while we are at
 it, support IAX: Use a provider that offers IAX.

Best bang for the buck out there are Polycom SoundPoint IP phones. We

Pros:
Pricetag (Cheaper than Cisco ~$180/phone)
Quality (Built really well)
Features (3 lines, XML Directory, DND, MWI, etc etc) 
Fairly straight-forward provisioning (Once you get the hang of it)
Very very very configurable

Cons:
Confusing XML configurations
No direct support from Polycom for Asterisk users

Nice phones. Works great with asterisk. However, $300 each.

Basically, I am looking for a high quality $100 2-line SIP phone that

 I do feel that those are violations of the GPL.  They can't place more

 the exact reason I told RedHat to f$%k off.  They used the community

 I don't know Rajeev's situation, but here is mine:

 I am all for supporting Digium, and when I get ready to set up my
 production PBX I will buy
 their cards.

 However, those of us not working with hefty corporate budgets may not
 have the option of spending
 $100 for a test machine when there's a more cost effective option
 available.

 When I build my production machine, I will need multiple E1 ports; the
 FXO from the test machine will then
 land on my pile of no-longer-needed hardware. I'd rather use a $7 card
 for that than spend $100 which I will not be able to recover.

 (By the time I get two such Intel cards over here to Austria, I may well

 have spent $100 on shipping and customs charges, anyway).

 If that warrants don't come asking for support then you guys are not
 much of a community but a sales
 machine for Digium.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] IP Intercom's

2004-09-18 Thread James H. Thompson
There are several ways to approach this:
* modify an existing SIP phone with Auto-answer (Grandstream for example) to interface 
with a loud
speaker
* use a SIP client (Asterisk for example) on a small PC and interface the sound card 
to a
loudspeaker
* use a traditional overhead paging/intercom hardware and interface to it via the 
sound card  or via
an FXS port.
* use an analog auto answer door phone with an FXS interface

Re: [Asterisk-Users] SIP/IAX2 phones with builtin magnetic stripe reader

Dinesh Nair wrote:
 hey * folk,

 need to tap the collective wisdom of this list for any details or
 pointers to vendors who manufacture/sell SIP or IAX phones with
 builtin magnetic stripe readers. these phones will be used in
 combination with * in a prepaid application. it would be advantageous
 if the mag stripe data was sent as DTMF over the SIP connection.

 any clues as to who manufactures/produces these phones ?


Years ago it was common to integrate a credit card magnetic strip reader into phones 
for doing
credit card authorizations.  The industry moved to stand-alone authorization terminals 
years ago.

The pay phone industry has been using phones with integrated magnetic strip readers, 
and you may be
able to find some of these and use them with a SIP ATA. For example:
http://www.payphone.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=16148cat=252page=1

Here is a payphone with an ethernet interface:
http://www.vending-usa.com/einpa.html


You can also find magnetic card readers that have a DTMF output, you would need to 
integrate such a
device with a phone of your choice.  For example this reader has optional DTMF output:
http://www.internationalbarcode.com/smagj.htm


Another possibility would be to use a magnetic stripe reader that attached separately 
to an ethernet
connection:
http://www.computerwise.com/ethernet/ep210.html
http://www.internationalbarcode.com/seriesj.htm

If you used a soft client on a PC then you would have many different options for 
attaching a
magnetic stripe reader: USB, RS-232, Keyboard wedge, built-in to keyboard, etc.

 It might be worth looking at the new Linksys PAP2 -- it's only $50,
 and it's essentially a Sipura 2000.  I haven't heard any first-hand

The Linksys PAP2 now available may be locked to Vonage.

 Yes, I know, some of the more advanced phones can be configured to

 BTW, I'm not dead-set on SIP, but it seems to be the most logical

Grandstream phone has this feature.
Would be hard to find anything cheaper.

Alternative would be to use an analog auto-answer phone attached to a SIP ATA.
Would cost more than a Grandstream though.

 Thanks Jim.
 
 Does anyone think that the Altigen has this feature built-in or might they
 have a device similar to the Power Fail Bypass installed?
 

The Altigen web site has technical manuals online.
http://www.altigen.com/customer_tech-manuals.html
It would appear that the power failure transfer feature is part of their hardware.
I believe that in some places there are legal requirements that some ability to call

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] * INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ASTERISK COMMUNITY - PLEASE READ NOW *


 Welcome to the Asterisk users community!
 

 Asterisk.org is a fast moving project. New code is added every day.
 Asterisk is the leading Open Source Telephony platform,
 with support both for classical telephony and IP telephony.

 Our community is also growing fast and we're having a lot
 of interaction, on the IRC and on the mailing lists.

 It's great to have you participating in this Open Source project
 - building an Open Source PBX. Here are a few things to know and
 remember while working with the project.

 ** The mailing list is growing

 The lead programmer of Asterisk, Mark Spencer at Digium, inc, recently wrote:
  The Asterisk community is growing at a remarkable pace.  I know there are
  thousands of you out there -- in fact there are over eight *thousand*
  subscribers to asterisk-users alone, and almost one *thousand* registered
  users on the bug tracker.

 This means that everything anyone write to this mailing list, is sent to over
 8.000 mailboxes that is already flowing over with messages.

 ** Think before sending a message, think twice

 I would like to stress the fact that you have to think before you send a
 message to such a big list. Do *not* send out personal replies on the list.
 If you offer services to someone, do *not* CC: or reply to the list, it
 will annoy more potential customers than get you new customers. If you
 send out a message by mistake, you don't have to apologize to all of us,
 we understand you're embarassed. We will get more annoyed by your apology
 than over your first message.

 ** Looking for or offering a commercial service?

 Use the asterisk-biz list for discussions on who offers what and
 for offering your business services.

 ** Try finding the answer first, then ask the list

 The Asterisk Wiki at http://www.voip-info.org project is an important
 knowledge base for the project.

 Go there to find your answer first, then search the mailing list
 archives (Google or http://search.voip-forum.com) and then
 go to the IRC channel. The IRC channel is populated with Asterisk gurus
 around the clock (literally) and they'll help you move forward.

 * IRC info: http://www.asterisk.org/index.php?menu=support#irc
 * There's many links to Asterisk web pages on the documentation
page at http://www.asterisk.org
 * The Asterisk FAQ is found on the wiki
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+FAQ
 * The Asterisk documentation project (which needs your help)
is at http://www.asteriskdocs.org
Their handbook The hitchhiker's guide to Asterisk is already
well worth reading.

 Finally, if you don't find the answer elsewhere, try the list.

 ** Mailing lists
 For developers, there is a developer's list, asterisk-dev.
 For BSD users (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and OS/X) there's a
 list called asterisk-bsd. There is also a business list
 for those that want to ask for commercial services and
 inform their community about new services.

 You'll find all lists on http://lists.digium.com, which is the
 site where you manage your subscription to this list as well.

 Please, do not crosspost the same message to multiple mailing
 lists. It will not help you, it will only add to the mail flow
 and get people that read both lists irritated.

 ** Reporting bugs
 If you think you have found a bug, report it. We need bug reports.
 Read this document http://www.digium.com/bugtracker.html and then
 go to the bugtracker http://bugs.digium.com to file a report.
 If you are unsure, find a bug marshal on the IRC channel to help
 you. They're appointed to support you with how to handle bugs.

 Please check the bugtracker thoroughly before posting a new bug;
 often, your bug or feature already exists but is simply slowly
 making it's way through the system.  Duplicate reports slow things
 down for everyone, so please spend a few minutes searching first.

 The bug tracker is also a place where you add your contribution
 to Asterisk. If you have coded extra functionality, make sure you
 give it back to the project so it can be added to the code base

 Dear all.
 
 We are currently using either Grandstream BT100 phones or SNOM 200.
 The BT100 comes with a 10mbit ethernet port and the snom with 2x100mbit 
 port
 
 Problem with the SNOM is that they are expensive and I don't really 
 like their design: often the handset slightly move on its base and it 
 makes the whole thing unreliable: poor mechanical design in my opinion.
 
 Problem with the BT is that you need either a little switch to connect 
 it or a spare ethernet port: very annoying and it needs far too many 
 cables.
 
 Could you recommend a nice SIP phones (which works with * obviously) 
 cheap, well-featured and reliable that comes with 2 x 100mbit port (so 
 no need for a switch or an additional ethernet port).
 Can be powered over the Ethernet port so it's really cables-free
 
 Thank you

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Starting up considerations.....

  Is call quality affected by starting it differently?
  My belief is no.  Regardless of how you start it, quality will be
  the same... Correct?
 
 Correct. Most interfaces are digital and unless a filter was introduced
 it would sound exactly the same. Also while running as root, there isn't
 any niceness problems either. 

I've found this not to be the case.  On slow machines, turning on lots of debug output 
can
seriously affect call quality.

Hi,

T1 is the carrier. T1 provides 24 D channels of 64Kbps each. 

Telephone companies provide ISDN (integrated services data network) on
top
of T-carrier. Two common flavors are BRI (basic rate interface) and PRI
(Primary rate interface.) BRI provides two 64 kps channels, PRI provides
23
usable channels, the 24th is used for signalling. 

So--you can get phone calls over a T1 or over a T1 that is provisioned
as a
PRI. You can get 24 calls on a T1 and 23 on a PRI. 

A T1 has 24 channels. You can split, that is partialize, the channels
between data and voice. You can do this with hardware outside the *
server.
Higher end Cisco routers, for example, support this. 

You can also use * and linux to partialize the T1. You better plan on
spending a lot of time on making it work if you do it this way. You have
to
install the Linux packages to split the line. NON trival. Works great,
though. Much less expensive, too.

  That would be a great alternative.  For what it's worth, the phone is
  based on a PA1688 single-chip VOIP terminal, which in turn contains a
  50MHz 8051-compatible and a ADSP2181 DSP running at 33MHz.

 Okay, open sourcers, that does not include Linux. Even uLinux (that runs
 on CPUs without a MMU) should be far to fat for this environment. Hey,
 that thing has even still Banks to access memory, very much like the
 Lotus EMS that we once used years ago on 8086 and 80186. Or in the
 Language Card for the Apple II ...


 For what it's worth, I was able to determine that they're using VC6 and
  KeilC51 (?) to cross-compile.

 Keil is a company that develops and sells cross-compilers for a host of
 embedded type CPUs. The compiler usually runs on Windows and generates
 binary files that you either flash into Flash chips, EEPROM or via JTAG.
 It's well known in the commercial community. The KeilC51 costs here
 1600 Euro, and that's just the CA51 Compiler+Assembler. No debugger.


 I think that the No Linux and Windows words in my statemement above
 greatly reduces the chance that people really will jump onto this
 opensource bandwagon. The price tag as well (althought me might be able
 to create a 8051 cross compilation environment on Linux).

 7200) crashes and loses it configuration. This has happended five times and 
 each time we have tested it, it is always when Asterisk starts up. Has anyone 
 else seen this problem? It is very odd because this is a very good router and 
 we had the Asterisk server on an exact same router but different network

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Special Delivery from China

2004-06-30 Thread James H. Thompson
The one thing not available in any low cost SIP phone is auto-answer controllable via 
SIP.
i.e. enable microphone only, enable speaker only, or enable both.
Grandstream has an option to enable auto answer in its configuration screen, but since 
once enabled,
it always auto-answers and it only has one line appearance, its not much use.

You need this feature to do paging and intercom with handsfree talkback.
See:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Paging+and+Intercom
for more information.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Special Delivery from China


 I received a sample IP/Speakerphone from my friends in China today.
 Asterisk setup was fairly uncomplicated and I had it running as an
 extension on my server within a few minutes.  Sounds quality of both the
 receiver and the speakerphone are fine (wife's opinion).  Are there any
 tests I should run with this phone?

 Following are the specs:
 - Single line appearance
 - Alpha display, 2x16 chars
 - Configurable by telnet and http; password protected
 - upgradeable by tftp
 - Protocols: sip, mgcp, h323 (only tested SIP)
 - DHCP or static address; support for NAT traversal
 - g729,g711u,g711a,g723
 - configurable ringtones, user-downloadable ringtones
 - hold button works with asterisk
 - inband, rfc2833 dtmf-modes
 - second RJ45 PC port

 Physical:
 - 8.5 x 8.0 x 2.0 (WxDxH)
 - flat-black plastic
 - LCD can be tilted up for visibility up to about 80 degrees
 - Large number buttons, 13 function buttons (redial, volume, etc)

 Shortfalls:
 - Caller-ID Name doesn't seem to work
 - MWI doesn't seem to exist
 - Dialplan isn't very flexible (pretty much requires #/send for all
 numbers)
 - PC port *may* be legacy (10mbps), not FastEthernet (100mbps); not yet
 benchmarked

 Requested improvements:
 - Second line appearance
 - configurable soft-keys
 - distinctive ring w/ auto-answer

 I should be able to resell these for $75 in quantity, $80-$85 for
 samples/endusers.  Any takers?  Once the CID Name  MWI are fixed, I'll
 set up a pre-order list, and if there's enough interest I'll import a
 batch.

Another approach would be to sell the hardware without firmware and start and 
opensource project to
build firmware for it.
It would seem like this could be a good niche for a small manufacturing company.

 The phone itself needs to be externally mounted so will have to be durable.

 Somewhere in the last 4-5 moths someone on this list posted something about 
 a 'failover' switch for T1's.  Basically, a box that would receive the T1 
 from the network provider and have the ability to output that T1 to a 
 primary device and when that primary device goes into alarm, immediately 
 switch over to a secondary device.  I even believe they may have posted a 
 link to a site that sells the things.  However, I've not been able to 
 google the right keywords to force the post to pop up in a search.  So if 
 there is anyone out there who can point me in the right direction (towards 
 one or more of these devices), I would greatly appreciate it.

  As an extension of this thought, how about going one step further
  and storing the voicemail on an imap server directly?  It would
  remove the whole storage question and allow storing on a remote
  system.  The tools in the WU-IMAP c-client package would be
  pretty useful...
  
 
 Two of my students are working on this very project right now.
 
 Some thoughts/caveats:
 
 One design constraint that is mostly enforced in the asterisk code is 
 that it run standalone (I think the mpg123 dependency is the sole 
 exception) and there was very strong sentiment that anything we do NOT 
 require the installation of a whole IMAP suite.  So that complicates 
 things somewhere between a little and a lot.  Basically the task is to 
 design a maildir type entity that can be completely manipulated within 
 the asterisk application itself.
 
 We're still not coding it heavily, but my sense is that the real gotcha 
 is going to lie in the IVR access routines.  They'll have to be mapped 
 into IMAP-space, as I see things right now, and in looking at the code 
 that's already there, that isn't going to be a trivial thing.
 
 There is also the split between the UW orientation (keep the files in 
 the maildir owned by the user they're sent to) and the cyrus orientation 
 (lock down the IMAP store and require all access to pass through a 
 server agent).
 
 I think the maildir approach is the Correct One, but the path thither 
 appears to be a least minorly studded with complexity.
 
 My HO, of course.
 
 Thx.

You could use NFS with the Maildir alogrithm or something similar to avoid the need

 Here is an(other) idea if anyone is looking for a project:

 When using a db for the meta data, there is no need for the filenames
 to have the message number in them.  As such, one can use a mix of the
 ${UNIQUEID}, (the hostname or ip if a networked fs), and any other call
 details of interest as the filename.  Or, for even nearer certainty of
 collision-proof-ness you can use the base64 of the sha hash of some
 entropy and the call's ${UNIQUEID} for the filename.

 The message order can be kept in the db table with the rest of the
 meta data.

 -JimC

  (don't you love neologisms)
  be sure to use a filesystem-friendly version of base64

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Intercom system (not paging system)

2004-02-09 Thread James H. Thompson



This may be away to do what you described with a $20 
speaker phone and no phone modifications:
Using the speaker phone dial-in to a conference room on the 
asterisk
Then whenever anyone wants to call this extension, you can 
route their call to the conf room and they can have a two-way 
conversation.

Possible Downsides:
* ifcall from the conference room gets terminated for 
any reason, then it will have to be re-established manually.
* resources consumed to keep conference room open and call 
always active

Possible Advantages:
* phone only in auto-answer when you put it in that 
mode
* phone usable to make and receive normal calls

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Incoming SIP matching

2004-01-26 Thread James H. Thompson
I ran some tests and reviewed the source code.
It appears that for incoming INVITE messages, Asterisk first checks for
[name] entries that match the user portion of the SIP URI in the From: header of the 
INVITE
message..
i.e. if you are calling From sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] it looks for [123] in the sip.conf 
file.
If this fails then it checks for an IP match.
If the IP match fails then it looks in the extensions.conf file (in the context set as 
default in
sip.conf)  for a matching extension.

If I've intereperted it correctly, it seems a strange way for it to operate.

Adding some debug log messages about which sip.conf entry is being selected would make 
figuring out
what is happening a lot easier.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Incoming SIP matching


 Incoming FWD calls from other FWD users, iaxtel, or via ipkall, need to
 have dtmfmode=rfc2833.  However, incoming FWD calls from the dialup
 access numbers (such as libretel) need to have dtmfmode=inband.  To
 solve this problem, I created a second FWD account and configured
 sip.conf as follows, in order to match the incoming number to the proper
 dtmfmode:

 [fwd-rfc]
 type=friend
 secret=*
 host=dynamic
 dtmfmode=rfc2833
 username=76153
 callerid=CLARK THOMAS B 76153

 [fwd-inband]
 type=friend
 secret=*
 host=dynamic
 dtmfmode=inband
 username=244006
 callerid=CLARK THOMAS B 244006

 What I find is that, no matter what I change (for example, host-dynamic
 in order to prevent matching by IP address), I cannot make the incoming
 SIP calls match successfully. With the configuration above, all incoming
 calls use dtmfmode=rfc2833, but that could be because it's the default.
   Either entry works correctly alone (with the other commented out.)

 I found some discussion in the archives about incoming sip matching, but
 no patches.

 Is there a better way to handle the two types of incoming FWD calls?  If
 not, is there something else I could change in order to make them match
 the correct section?  Any ideas would be appreciated.

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] ultra-cheap asterisk box



I'm looking to do about the same thing, build very low cost
systems.  (I'm looking at putting Asterisk at some
non-profit organizations.)   but one thing you can't make
a compromise on is reliabilty.  It has to work and keep working
for years to come.  I was able to keep the price of a new PC
to about $300 ad still use an ASUS mainboard and an AMD XP2600+
The trick is to add absolutly nothing not needed.  No floppy,
no CDROM so you can run off a 200W P/S.  Next I'll experiment
with a notebook sized IDE disk drives and to see if _underclocking_
the CPU reduces it's power comsumption enough that we can save
one fan.

Ideally Asterisk will be ported one day to Linux/ARM or some
other very low cost platform.  for VOIP you do not need the
PCI slots.  In theory Asterisk could run on a Lynksys router
box with re-flashed EEPROM.  After all Lynksys' latest wireless
router runs Linux inside

Low cost to me means low total cost of ownership  To get this
I don't think buying the lowest priced parts is the way to go.
I want quality mainboard, and a quality power supply and, this
is importernt:  A low internal case temperature.  for this reason
I'll spend the extra $50 to go with Antec cases and ASUS mainboards
over the generic ones.

What I'm finding is that the PCs are so cheap that the cost of
electric power to run them is now a large part of the cost.
(assume 0.20/kwh times 200W times 365 days = $350.  So you
pay for the PC again every year in electric power to run it.
Worse.  In an office with airconditioning _all_ of that PC's
200W goes to heat and your A/C unit will use about 220W of
power to remove that 200W of heat.)
and at a small office they will not have a server room so noise
from the fan is an issue.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Doorbells  Door Intercoms


 Hi,
 
 Does anybody know of a VoIP compatible doorbell or door intercom unit?
 
 I've contemplated buying a cheap SIP phone, ripping it apart, and 
 putting it inside an IP66 sealed unit...
 
 It would need:
 
 - At least one speed-dial key, or some way to make every button dial 
 the same extension number
 - PoE (power over ethernet), so I can power it off the central switch
 - cheap enough to rip apart
 
 Any ideas?
 
 Also, is there anyway in the Asterisk config, to ensure anything dialed 
 from the phone in turn just dials a specific extension?
 
 What I'm thinking: Door bell button rings extension , which rings 
 all phones. Caller ID is Front Door Entry or whatever, and the 
 Cisco's Dial Plan has a doorbell chime as the ring tone for this 
 specific extension filter (so  has it's own ring tone). There is a 
 time out of 5 to 10 seconds, which represents the time it takes for a 
 normal doorbell to chime and stop.
 
 Now, the intercom bit... If I want to find out who it is before running 
 downstairs, I simply pickup my receiver and ask them. Otherwise, I just 
 leave it and the ringing stops, and the call is terminated.
 
 Also, if I want to find out who is outside, I can just dial a special 
 number, say 8889, and I connect to the phone outside. Now, can the 
 phone be set to automatically pickup a call?! Or perhaps, If I find a 
 Cisco 7940 with a damaged case on eBay, I can rip it apart, and then 
 use the SIP/SCCP Intercom feature on that phone only?!
 
 Does this sound sensible/achievable?!
 
 Best,
 Ad.
