JR,

I'm just pulling things out of the air here, but if realtime voicemail
works like realtime users/peers, loading everything into memory from
MySQL, then there would need to be some type or prune command to force
the re-read of the voicemail table, this is asuming you change the
password via MySQL and not on the handset. Maybe something like DBput
would work to update astdb as well. Again just throwing out ideas...

It sounds like you are using the handset to update the password. Is
this correct?


I can confirm that I also have this issue.  For the record I can  
confirm that the PIN is not changed in the Mysql DB.  I think,  
however, that I don't have a uniqueid column.  Maybe check this out:

[asterisk-users] ARA extensions ordering

2007-01-08 Thread Jesse Peterson

Hello List,

I am curious how the ordering of the extensions are determined for an  
ARA dial-plan.  For example, if I have these:


_9X.
_9011.

Which is selected first?  Any number dialed starting with 9011 is  
matched by either rule here and I don't remember seeing any ORDER BY  
clauses when I had debugged the ARA queries.  I'm sure I just missed  
some critical documentation here.


Thoughts?

THanks,
- Jesse

I've resolved this issue.  It appears that somewhere between the firmware I was 
running and the latest firmware Mitel introduced multiple registrations User 
List Configurations in Mitel speak.  It is here that the phone must have its 
Voice Mail Server configured - not in the global phone-message button area

[asterisk-users] PRI TON/pridialplan digit prefixing

2006-10-09 Thread Jesse Peterson

Hello all,

I have a situation where I receive international calls from a legacy  
PBX into Asterisk.  These calls have a PRI TON of International and  
do not have the (US) international prefix 011 in the number.  I need  
to be able to either act on (in the dial plan) the PRI TON or be able  
to have the 011 re-added (prefixed) onto the called number so that I  
may route it properly.  Is there a way to do this?


This post:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2005-May/102837.html

Appears to suggest that this might be possible, but I was not able to  
get it working as suggested.

Look for the recent 'capacity testing'

like you won't be able to run more than 20 - 25 decent quality calls before 
asterisk dies.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Residential services

2004-01-19 Thread Jesse Peterson
It will suite you well to fumble around with asterisk for several days and to keep 
reading all the documentation tidbits you can find. That will really help get you 
aquainted with asterisk and the support/documentation that is available. Most of the 
good info I've found has come from the wiki and from reading through list archives.

Your dialplan question isn't too hard. I'll leave it up to you to make sure your 
contexts are included/excluded correctly. Basically all you need to do is make sure 
that
ignorepat = 9 is commented out (so ;ignorepat = 9) in any context that should use 
normal dialing. Then you have 2 extensions, either this for 10 digit dialing
exten = _1NXXNXX,1, Dial, ${OUTTRUNK}
exten = _NXXNXX,1, Dial, ${OUTTRUNK}
or this for 7 digit:
exten = _1NXXNXX,1, Dial, ${OUTTRUNK}
exten = _NXX,1, Dial, ${OUTTRUNK}

of course you are also on your own to make sure ${OUTTRUNK} is working correctly.

I haven't done outbound to the PSTN with a Cisco setup, but I have with a Lucent setup 
(mvam as gk and tnts for pstn access). I've had to use OH323 channel instead of the 
included H323 channel. To get Asterisk to register w/ my gk as a gateway instead of a 
terminal. Basically, I did this:
1) setup a gateway called 'ASTERISK' on my gk (mvam)
2) in oh323.conf:
gatekeeper = 192.168.0.50
[register]
alias = ASTERISK   ;or whatever name you used on your gatekeeper
prefix = 999000;oh323 was complaining there were no prefixes registered... so 
a bogus one fixed that. my gatekeeper seems to just ignore it anyway.
3) in my extensions.conf, I dial to OH3223/BYEXTENSION, so in my above 10digit 
dialing example, it would be:
exten = _1NXXNXX,1, Dial, OH3223/BYEXTENSION
exten = _NXXNXX,1, Dial, OH3223/BYEXTENSION

the 'BYEXTENSION' part just take the number as matched by the exten option and passed 
it out to the gatekeep OH323 has registered with and routes based on it's response.

Now, as far as residential services. Test, test, test. Then test a little more before 
you decide you can run production services. In some non-formal testing, myself and 
another fella using approx. the same setup (basically * as a sip-h323 gateway) have 
found we could not run more than about 20-25 simultaneous calls. With typical telecom 
oversubscription rates, you're not going to get very many customers on an asterisk box.
If you do manage to get it to handle a decent number of calls, I'm sure many people 
would be interested in your configuration.

Hi folks,

The obligatory newbie disclaimer:

Hi, I'm new to Asterisk and I have a couple questions...

OK, now that that's over with:

I've just started working for a small CLEC, and I'm trying to sell * to
my boss as a replacement for some expensive/inflexible/closed-source
software he's been using to provide residential dialtone with for a
couple years now.  Presently, we have:

1) a cluster of sun boxes running propriatary IP-PBX software
2) a cisco 3640 h323 gatekeeper
3) a cisco as5300 pstn gateway

I'd like to use sip between an asterisk box and that as5300 (which right
now is only speaking h323), and I'd like to be able to use sip, h323,
mgcp, or skinny for residential customers.  This ought to be no problem,
right?  I'm coming up with pretty much nil on documentation regarding
as5300 - asterisk configuration, however.  And, while I'm sure I could
fumble through it for a couple days, I thought there just might be
someone out there who has a working configuration using an as5300 as a
pstn gateway with asterisk (either with sip, or with h323 via a cisco
gatekeeper).

Now, regarding residential services in particular...

The configuration files  examples I've found all assume a business
environment, where you'd dial a 9 for outside lines.  Anyone have an
example config where an endpoint gets dumped directly to the pstn when
they pick up the phone?

Thnaks,
Jeremy Jones

Title: RE: [Asterisk-Users] capacity testing



1) 
Yes, I did get that. I've never seen a segmentation fault message, but that 
should be b/c I've been running the process in the background since it is 
obviously seg-faulting. I believe you are also correct that most people are not 
trying to put the load on it that we are.

2) I 
always see 'safe_asterisk' and 'asterisk -vvvg' running. my monitoring was 
always done with top, but I've checked w/ ps a couple times and I believe only 
ever see 1 of each of those processes. I may have to do some tests again to 
double check that. My CPU problems did not come until the last 10 - 30 seconds 
before asterisk crashed. This is still odd that our memory  processor 
observations are opposite... the next thing I'm going to try is a dual xeon pIII 
800 or 1ghz machine to see what happens.

3) I'm 
running oh323. It was the one I could get to register w/ my gatekeeper as a 
gateway - that made it much easier for me to do call routing on both sides. I 
have also noticed some inconsistencies in the call flows like you mention, but 
haven't taken the time yet to pinpoint exactly what and when they are 
happening.

  Hi 
  all, and Jesse
  
  1. 
  So, you did get the experience of crashing all of a sudden with the 
  "Disconnected from Asterisk server" error message. I got both this and the 
  segmentation error when crashing. I am running the version of asterisk, libpri 
  and zaptel updated to about 5 days ago, but I have had tested Asterisk for 
  more than a month already and needless to say I have had this experience since 
  Day 1, meaning it has always been a problem even in the previous revisions. 
  Henceforth, I feel that it is an intrinsic Asterisk problem, rather than just 
  the problem with specific versions / revisions. I have posted this problem a 
  few times before, I feel that this is a major problem but surprisingly, I was 
  not getting any feedback at all. I have this feeling that more than 90% of the 
  Asterisk community is using the system for PBX application rather than VOIP, 
  may be, just may be, Asterisk has not been tested with a good number of 
  simultaneous calls.
  2. I 
  am using Xeon 2.6G chip, much more powerful than yours, I have not got any 
  problem with CPU usage, at least not during the time that I was watching. The 
  thing is when I start 'safe_asterisk' , I could see when doing a PID, 1 
  "safe_asterisk" PID session and at least 10 (or more especially when there are 
  more calls) "asterisk -vvvg -c" PID session. Each session takes up about 18M 
  to 20M RAM, when that is why I am seeing all very high memory usage. How many 
  sessions of Asterick do you see running after you loaded it? 
  
  3. 
  Are you running H323 (Jeremy) and OH323 (Michael)? I am running Jeremy's and 
  have had this inbound H323 problem. I tried OH323 (Michael) as well, but for 
  some reasons, I am getting this false connect signal, that is, I made an 
  outbound H323 call to a CiscoAS5300 for example, I heard the ring and 
  immediately on my "Asterisk", it showed call answered when it was still 
  ringing. Do you have that experience?? What setting you have if you do not 
  have that experience?

[Asterisk-Users] capacity testing

2004-01-15 Thread Jesse Peterson
Hello all. I'm new to asterisk and have been using and testing it for about a week 
now. My initial hope has been to use it as a sip-h323 gateway to tie SIP  H323 
based ip phones together with my Cisco AS5300 and Lucent MaxTNT/MVAM networks.

I am currently running Asterisk 0.5.0 under Redhat 9 on a single PIII 800 with 256megs 
RAM. I have tried a couple CVS version from the past week (maybe 01/09/04 and 
01/14/04) and have not been able to get them to work semi-reliably in my simple 1 or 2 
call test cases. v.0.5.0 has supported those ok. Primarily test cases have involved 
sending ip phone calls via SIP to Asterisk and having Asterisk route the calls using 
h323 via a gatekeeper to my TNT network which then sends it out the PSTN... and the 
opposite path, PSTN-TNT-Asterisk-SIP Phone. Another test has been sending a call 
from a AS5300 using SIP to Asterisk, out H323 to a TNT. Both of those have worked very 
well with the voice quality being excellent (actually better than a SIP-ISDN T1 
hardware solution we've been working with - audiocodes mediant 2k for those 
interested). This is the test case I describe below as it was the one the allowed me 
to load Asterisk up with the most calls.

Anyway, I know that what I'm doing is not exactly the intended primary use of 
Asterisk. That said, here's what I found.

Voice quality was very good until I had approx. 25 calls up. At that point there were 
intermittent issues with garbled voice, a little echo, etc. When it reached a little 
over 30 calls, Asterisk just died (oops).
During the test, I was trying to keep an eye on proc.  memory util. Memory never 
seemed to be an issue - even right before the crash the Asterisk process was not using 
more than 20 - 25MB. 
Processor utilization was interesting to watch though. I couldn't make any direct/firm 
correlation, but it seemed like my spikes were coming when Asterisk was doing call 
setup. Even up to about 25 calls, utilization didn't spike to more the 25% for long, 
and with ~25 calls seemed to 'idle' around 15%. Above the 25 (when also started 
noticing voice quality issues), the proc. util. seemed to start going wacky - spikes 
up to 40, 50, even 60%. Then it went to 99% for a moment, voice quality was horrible 
if you could hear anything, and Asterisk crashed. 

I did not find anything in the logs to inidicate any problems, though I've found that 
to be the case pretty much everytime Asterisk crashes.

I saw a list thread in which a developer asked for some gdb output... in it, he said 
this:
 Run asterisk with -vvvcg.
 Do your test (core file generated).
 Run gdb /usr/sbin/asterisk core_filename
  From within gdb run bt and send me the output
 of it.

if it is of use, here it is (from asterisk v.0.5.0)

I did initially, but I was having problems (possibly just in thinking it through) 
getting the provided h323 driver to either 
a) register as a gateway with my gatekeeper - that just does not seem to be and option 
(please correct me if I'm wrong!!!)
or
b) setup a 'variable' extension (yes, extensions.conf) that would allow me to route

Hi,

I am a newbie in Asterisk as well, intending to use it in a similar way as
you are, communicating with AS5300 as well as other gateways including
MAXTNT.

I have had similar, but yet different experiences than yours.

1. Asterisk does crash with the number of calls, but in my case, about or
less than 20 calls, then I would get either a Segmentation Error and then
crashed OR it would just crash saying Disconnected from Asterisk server
all of a sudden.
*** The crashes I experienced were fairly transparent. When I had the console 
(asterisk -r) running, I saw the 'Disconnected' message you mention.

2. I am using Pentium Xeon chip and hence more powerful than yours with 512M
RAM, my CPU usage has always been low, however, I have not had a chance to
look at the CPU usage just before crashing, but all the time that I was
looking, it has been low. Rather the MEMORY has always remained high at 450M
usage even with no calls. This is a different experience as compared to
yours.
*** A Xeon of the same speed (800mhz in my case) should certainly perform better - 
lower, I don't know. I find it a little odd that you experienced basically the 
opposite of my testing. What version are you running?

3. I have also noticed that with more calls, and after a certain random
period of time, any H323 calls going into the Asterisk would fail, my AS5300
and MAXT TNT would get their calls all rejected from Asterisk. However,
Asterisk was still running at the time and I could actually call in and out
the zap interface and outbound H323 from Asterisk was not a problem. It
seems that something got hung with H323, causing inbound H323 calls into
Asterisk to all fail. In this situation, I would have to stop the Asterisk
and rerun it to fix the problem.
*** Interesting - I have not experienced that (yet...).

4. I have not tried the 0.7.0 version, but with existing version, I am not
getting reliable and stable system, nothing close to Cisco and Lucent which
are rock solid. However, I really love the power and the features of
Asterisk, and I remain in good faith to see improvements.

Any associate out there who can shed some lights into this? I am rather
curious as to why I seem to be using up all memory although I am not running
any unnecessary processes, or should I actually disable all modules, other
than really necessary ones to support VOIP?

*** Since you and I are working in what sounds to be a familiar environment, maybe we 
should communicate about our test scenarios, etc off list to both help each other and 
see if we can find some similarities to share with others.

Thanks !

Tom

Hello all. I'm new to asterisk and have been using and testing it for about
a week now. My initial hope has been to use it as a sip-h323 gateway to
tie SIP  H323 based ip phones together with my Cisco AS5300 and Lucent
MaxTNT/MVAM networks.

I am currently running Asterisk 0.5.0 under Redhat 9 on a single PIII 800
with 256megs RAM. I have tried a couple CVS version from the past week
(maybe 01/09/04 and 01/14/04) and have not been able to get them to work
semi-reliably in my simple 1 or 2 call test cases. v.0.5.0 has supported
those ok. Primarily test cases have involved sending ip phone calls via SIP
to Asterisk and having Asterisk route the calls using h323 via a gatekeeper
to my TNT network which then sends it out the PSTN... and the opposite path,
PSTN-TNT-Asterisk-SIP Phone. Another test has been sending a call from a
AS5300 using SIP to Asterisk, out H323 to a TNT. Both of those have worked
very well with the voice quality being excellent (actually better than a
SIP-ISDN T1 hardware solution we've been working with - audiocodes mediant
2k for those interested). This is the test case I describe below as it was
the one the allowed me to load Asterisk up with the most calls.

Anyway, I know that what I'm doing is not exactly the intended primary use
of Asterisk. That said, here's what I found.

Voice quality was very good until I had approx. 25 calls up. At that point
there were intermittent issues with garbled voice, a little echo, etc. When
it reached a little over 30 calls, Asterisk just died (oops).
During the test, I was trying to keep an eye on proc.  memory util. Memory
never seemed to be an issue - even right before the crash the Asterisk
process was not using more than 20 - 25MB.
Processor utilization was interesting to watch though. I couldn't make any
direct/firm correlation, but it seemed like my spikes were coming when
Asterisk was doing call setup. Even up to about 25 calls, utilization didn't
spike to more the 25% for long, and with ~25 calls seemed to 'idle' around
15%. Above the 25 (when also started noticing voice quality

I know, but as I mentioned in the inital post, I haven't been able to get the last 2 
cvs versions I've pulled to run stable enough to test. 
I've seen a 0.7.0 version number mentioned. Is there newer, mostly stable version of 
code I should try that just hasn't been officially released?

CVS UPDATE!   That code is hardcore old.
