Re: [asterisk-users] Digium stopped TDM400P production: alternatives??

2008-02-16 Thread Joe Acquisto
I have not found this to be so.  As an end user, I have had excellent support 
from Digium on TDM400p.  They have been more responsive the several times I had 
to call.  Even cross shipping replacement cards (CC, required, of course).

Cannot fault their support at all.

 A small user that just buys one card won't get a good support from
 Digium. It'll be just a waste of time on the phone.
 
 Practically any manufacturer gives similar support including ssh'ing
 in the users box.
 
 Right now they push the user to buy a 4 channel echo canceller which
 you can get from Octasic for $40. The card with 4 ports is retail
 around $640.
 
 You can get OpenVox or another brand TDM400P compatible for 1/3 of
 that + $40 for echo canceller. Now that's a Digium high marigin right there
 .. someone has to pay the CEO salary and the mortgage for a
 new building :)

 later you will wish you hadn't been all cheap.

After correcting my errors, I can receive calls.

Outgoing calls remain non functional, insisting on going out over the ZAP 
channel.

I think I would like to maintain the ZAP channels and use iax on occasion.  How 
about something like pressing *99 (or something), presenting a dial tone (or 
some noise) that would signal to enter the intended number?

I am not getting how to direct which channel/trunk to use.

[asterisk-users] Sip to ATA?

2007-11-27 Thread Joe Acquisto
Currently running two POTS lines into an asterisk system.  Analog and SIP on 
premises.  Being in the sticks, the POTS service is abysmal for quality, 
especially in the rain.

Recently, cable has become available with VOIP phone.   The cost savings are 
attractive as it can replace several independent services for TV and internet 
(currently satellite).

But, I cannot get much out of them, regarding how the phone service works.  All 
I can get is I plug my existing phones and answering machines into the back of 
the cable modem and am good to go.

I am hesitant to believe that I can simply plug my TDM400P (2fxo/2fxs) into 
these (ATA ?) jacks and call it good.

Any insight?  Am I better off ignoring their phone offering and setting myself 
up with an IAX or SIP provider? (and surplus-ing the card).   I would end up 
needing more than their single line offering with a second line at $30/month 
(USD).  Seems that might make more sense

If you've got the files centrally managed, you can update the correct

These are the correct settings for regions affected by the new DST regs:

[asterisk-users] FAX detection not working

2007-09-29 Thread Joe Acquisto
I am having a problem detecting incoming FAX.  TMD22p (tdm400p 2 fxo, 2fxs)

As I understand it, I must have faxdetect = incoming to enable detection of the 
fax tone.
Then, I must have a [fax] context to pickup the line and send it to whatever 
extension the FAX device is on.

In my case, I ask it to answer immediately and do a distinctive ring (r3) to 
alert that is its a FAX call so no one picks up the line.

however, it seems the FAX tone is not being detected (I know it is being sent), 
as the normal ring tone is heard.

I must be misunderstanding  how this works.  Or does not work.

 It's a fax extension in the context where the call is at... not a fax

I don't follow.  Sorry.

Now might be a good time to post this, since Tzafrir asked,  it looks very much 
like bits I have seen on the net.  I did see what appeared to be the analog_fax

So, I would surmise it detected the FAX and is trying to deal with it, but the 
number derived via LDAPget is hosed?   It just ends up hanging up and not 
dialing any extension.

 Yes, you only need to connect a power supply if you have FXS boards.

 I don't remember if it is also needed to provide the potential for the
 line as well, but I cat testify to the fact that you can comfortably run
 a TDM400P with 4 FXO boards on it and nothing plugged into the PSU header.
 
 That is correct.  You *only* need the power connector plugged in for FXS 
 modules.  FXO modules do not need them.

[asterisk-users] Setting caller ID on outgoing calls.

Excuse me if I recently posted on this, but I cannot find it, in my, or the

Is it possible, when transferring a call, to set the user ID to that of the 
outgoing number instead of the incoming number?  I believe the answer is 
(was) yes.

New twist, does it matter what the destination media is?  Meaning, the call

supports caller ID).

problem - occasional garbled calls, mostly remote users.

T1 connected to PSTN, SIP over local LAN and internet to remote users.  NAT

QoS does nothing for you unless you're using MPLS between connections
to a degree. (re-stated...)  If you're under the impression that you're
going to magically place some auto-qos of sorts and your traffic will be
magically shaped for high performance, you're semi-mistaken. While it
may shape traffic coming internally and how you handle that traffic,
unless you have a certain pre-defined service with your provider,
most providers won't/don't care how you color your packets. So go
ahead and misinterpret QoS by marking DSCP, wasting hours thinking
you're going to save .03ms. Fire up Wireshark at the other end and
check your classifications and I can bet you lunch for a year that
most providers will re-classify or ignore your markings.

I was merely stating what exists now and requesting guidance.

I am aware that effective QoS requires the co-operation of the ISP (and 
probably,
the end users gear), and do not look forward to messing with any of it.

 No, it does NOT measure packet latency.  qualify= measures the response 
 time of the remote device to a SIP OPTIONS packet.  If the device is 
 busy doing something and does not respond quickly enough the device will 
 be considered unreachable.
 

I suppose I should just go do some reading, but . . .

Does this happen only at registration time?  Each time a call is attempted? 

In any  case, won't that just kill a call, rather than cure the problem?

[asterisk-users] More FAX over T1

2007-06-26 Thread Joe acquisto
This is a follow up to an earlier post.

Looking for a means to individualize incoming FAX, so as to distribute them 
to the intended recipient.

While the PBX is based on Asterisk, it is not possible for me to enter the 
box to modify things, to any great degree.  I thank those who mentioned 
IAXMODEM, earlier, but that seems a no go.

Currently, there is a dedicated T1 into the Asterisk box.  There is a separate 
bank of 4 POTS lines going into a FAX server.

Looking for a way to assign numbers as incoming FAX lines and have them 
received with the incoming number intact.   Having these forwarded to one of 
the analog numbers is a thought, but I am concerned about various issues, data 
corruption, etc, going that route.

Thoughts vary to second T1, with channel bank, breaking out some DS0's into a 
channel bank, or finding a T1/fax board (do they exist?), to go directly into 
the FAX server (PC/linux based)

 With all due respect, this project should be handed over to whomever has
 authorization to administer the Asterisk box. We can tell you how to do it
 in Asterisk, but if you can't take our advice, our ability to help you will
 be severely limited.

Thanks.  Point taken.  I'm, unfortunately, playing a form of monkey in the 
middle.  Seems the Vendor is
unwilling to, unable to, or is outrageously priced.  I am not privy to any of 
those discussions.

I view this as a learning experience for me.

 Now, we have many, many fax machines. We have our incoming through PRI, and
 then redirect to a channel bank. We have no problems with fax reception.
 When we used a Sangoma card, we did, but now that we're back on Digium
 hardware, we've been doing well, thus far. Probably had to do with the echo
 cancellation, but without infinite time to troubleshoot, we just had to get
 it working.

This install uses a Sangoma card.

Could you expand on redirect to a channel bank?  Could you illuminate the 
connectivity for me?

A single T1 connects to???   Is the Digium card smart as in, can it break 
out DS0 line(s) on a second port (to go to the channel bank)?

I am not that familiar with that technology.  As may be evident.

 It looks to me like you have two choices.  The first you probably
 can't do.  That is, get a two port board in the Asterisk system with
 the second T1 going into an Eicon Board in a Hylafax system.  Then,
 you can assign DIDs with whatever web interface you have on this
 Asterisk system to go to the second T1 port.
 
 The second alternative is to get a second T1 and an Eicon card going
 into a Hylafax Server.  This solution has a big monthly expense to it,
 especially if you aren't fully utilizing all channels on your existing
 T1.
 
 I'm moving towards the first solution being we send out (and receive)
 large faxes and the IAXModem solution, because of patent issues, is
 not able to send at the faster speeds.  I've received complaints about
 our slow fax machine.  The Eicon card can support the faster
 transmission.
 

No solution, thus far, seems very cost effective for this client.   The Eicon 
and other T1/fax board
are in the 4-7K$ range.  

As this venture is still in it's infancy, it would not be acceptable to shell 
out such, at the moment.

One idea is to utilize DID, and have Asterisk forward the calls to the 
current FAX lines, preserving the DID as Caller ID.  I am fairly sure 
Asterisk itself can do this. (The call would appear to be from this assigned 
ID).  If so, I could, apparently, massage Hylafax into dealing with each FAX 
based on the Caller ID.

 That's definitely an idea.  

Wow, you mean I actually had one??? g

If you don't need the Caller ID on the fax
 (and in most cases, you probably don't), 

If you mean (not) printed on the FAX, yes (no ?) it is *not* needed.

this might be your best
 solution.  Assuming, of course, the faxmodems on Hylafax are picking
 up the caller ID and you have Caller ID from the phone company.

Worthy of investigation.
 
 That would take up 2 of your PRI channels, though, per fax reception.
 

That should not be a problem, at this point.

[asterisk-users] FAX over T1

2007-06-22 Thread Joe acquisto
I have an existing Hylafax system using a mainpine 4 port board, 4 POTS lines.

Have a recently installed Asterisk system, with a dedicated T1 line.  (Well, 
it's really a fonality system).

What would I need to do, or where is the reading material, for what I need to 
do, to convert the Hylafax server to use the T1 line?   Reliably.  Preferably 
to use DID's as well.

The current FAX works fine, but there is some desire to get rid of the analog 
lines.

Could one add some sort of device in the Asterisk server, to act as FAX 
extensions, keeping the mainpine on the hylafax?  Like a TDM400p with FSX 
modules?

I'm just saying, ya know?  I suppose I have to ask fonality, since it's their 
box?

 Yes it is an ATA with an FXS and an FXO port, and you can use as many

I don't see how that is possible.  This device does not connect to the PCI bus, 
at all.  It has two RJ11 ports that can connect to a LAN, or directly to the 
asterisk box so it may be possible to make it work, somehow, but it cannot 
replace a TDM card, which is what I thought you were suggesting.

When interested in packets, I usually use ethereal and a 4 port hub, plugging

 I'll answer it on the user list. I don't think the idea is developed
 enough to discuss on biz.
 
 First - vtiger is available for those who don't like the SugarCRM 
 licensing.

It's not a licensing complaint.  At least that has not surfaced.  It is more 
that the 
programmer does not seem to be comfortable with SugarCRM, MySQL and php.
Biggest compliant about sugar is - hard to configure, does not work with latest
php. 

 Second -  developing your own CRM is an ambitious undertaking.  You need
 good reasons to go in that direction.
 
 Third -  I have enough exposure to  Visual FoxPro to quickly rule it out
 as  a choice for anything new. The fact that somebody is proposing to
 use it might give you the idea that they don't know what they are
 talking about at all. BTW - my exposure to it did include things like
 access from linux apps using ODBC so I know enough to hate the product.
 

Thanks.

 After confirming that they're experiencing what they say they've been

Applying rxgain of 2 seems to have satisfied the user who was complaining.

 Anytime somebody complains of delay or lag, have them call a cell phone

 Then I ask them when was the last time somebody asked them to call back 
 on a land line because the delay was too long.
 
 There are different types of delay.  There is audio delay and there is 
 dialing delay.  I suspect the users are complaining about dialing 
 delays, rather than audio delays.

During conversation about this, both types of delay were mentioned.

So, a packet trace, at router-internet, was done.  Not much to speak of,

While I can see what appears to be a session initiation and they make nice,

 The debug trace you've enclosed is a NOTIFY message sent from * for the

 You can however tell that something is wrong since the message is being

 could be due to the client being offline or not supporting this feature 
 It

My curiosity is aroused, as well.   I would want to use these to allow me to

poor quality (and comparatively high cost) of Verizon service in this area.
Seems I would still need at least one POTS line, for FAX machine.  Can't use

Re: [asterisk-users] How well does a celldock work with Asterisk?

2007-04-09 Thread Joe Acquisto
. . . 
 
 I have a Dock-n-Talk at home I use to connect my motorola V60i via a 
 cable so I can't comment on bluetooth. I needed it because for some 
 reason I can only get good cell reception in my bedroom. It works well 
 enough. You can certainly tell you are talking over a cell connection 
 and not a POTS line (it's a little noisier) and now and then I have 
 slight echo. Caller ID is passed through (number only) as well.
 All in all I'm happy with the purchase.
 
 -Dave

Can't be worse than my POTS lines.   The cable runs here are about 30 years 
old, and run underground, supposedly, where crossing a government right of way. 
  This run is ancient, as well.   Supposedly, during wet weather, this becomes 
a grounding problem.  Certainly the audio quality deteriorates to the point of 
being almost unusable, during inclement weather and clears up when dry.

As I get fair reception, using Nextel, in this area . . .

 The cable sleeve is probably breached and I'll bet the waterproofing

 insulation on the individual conductors, the results are predictable.
 This is a common problem on older runs.
 
 Sometimes it's just a matter of finding a clean pair in the cable. Have

Hi.

Is there a way to isolate what shows on CLI to just the conversation with that

Packet traces are not out of the question, but cannot be done today.

 Hi Joe,
 
 The debug trace you've enclosed is a NOTIFY message sent from * for the

 You can however tell that something is wrong since the message is being
 retransmitted since the server didn't receive 200 OK in reply - while it
 could be due to the client being offline or not supporting this feature 
 It
 could imply a NAT issue so try to recheck your NAT configs.
 
 can you post a full trace (starting with the INVITE message)? also you 
 can
 try to run a sniffer trace on the client side to see if it

 the messages correctly.

[asterisk-users] Too much silence, perceived delay

2007-04-09 Thread Joe Acquisto
In a system connected to a verizon T1, Digium TE411P (quad T1 echo 
cancellation), client is complaining it is too quiet.

The complaint regards calls over the T1, not in house SIP only calls.

Their description indicates they want some earpiece feedback of themselves 
speaking.  Also, they complain that it takes several seconds (3-4) for the 
other party to respond.  That is kind of subjective, I guess.

Suggestions?

 Have you been able to test this yourself? (Three to four seconds seems

No, not tested by me, I only heard about it today, via email.  

 
 Have you tried tinkering with the gain settings? Adjusting the gain can
 impact sidetone, which might improve the call experience.

No, not yet.  Any suggestions as to direction and magnitude?

 Are you seeing errors on the T1?

on 
incoming calls, ring, answer, talk, hangup.

However, not so good dialing out.   Pickup handset, get dail tone. 
Cli 
shows Starting simple switch on Zap/1-1.
Press a key and get Hungup Zap/1-1 and get the doot-doot-doot
sound.   
Well, something like that, anyway.

[asterisk-users] FAX thru TDM400p

There seem to have been many discussions about this, so sorry if this is boring.

Can one connect a standard fax machine (or fax modem) to an analog port on a 
TDM400p (as if it were an analog phone, say) and expect it to work reliably?

For sending, that is.  Detecting and routing the call is another subject (for

Seems it should, but does not.  At least not for me.

AFAIK, the FAX targets are normal FAX machines, on the PSTN.

What happens is, there appears to be a dial out, and a FAX negotiation, but it 
always fails.

 However, if your carrier is a SIP or IAX trunking provider, your

While pondering several issues, poor quality PSTN POTS lines, potential cost 
savings with multiple cell numbers, the FAX problems over TDM400p, etc, I 
wondered about:

Cell phone Base stations to replace POTS lines.  Devices to cradle cell 
phones and connect to TDM400p, for instance, to mimic PSTN.  Are there such 
beasts, how do they play with asterisk?

Will FAX work over such connectivity?

 I think what Bryan is asking: Where is your FAX source? If the sending

 What does zttest say about your zap card configuration/installation?  
 If 
 it's not always 99.98% or better then it's due to hardware resource 
 constriction and you need to escalate the zaptel card's priority on the 
 hardware (like putting it at a lower IRQ).

I find the source.   IIRC, the problem was there was some dependency 
(terminology ?), or package that was missing and I got complaints when trying 
to compile.  I can't recall what it was, but it is something that is included 
in most distro's but not SUSE by default.

Is there a way to compile this without screwing up other, existing things?  I

 What this is doing is allowing unfettered access between your PBX and 
 phones. Too many people forget that a VoIP transaction consists of more 
 than just opening up ports 5060 and 5061. This are used for 
 registration/administration, etc., in the case of one way audio, or 
 audio for any matter, this is carried out by RTP on separate ports 
 which 
 will never be the same port unless you have it specified.
 
 Summarized: NAT + VoIP = nightmare
 
 If at all doable, segment your phones out to a DMZ with VLANs, 
 constructive routing, and ACL's to avoid leveraged security incidents 
 via those phones being opened.
 

Thanks.

Do you have recommended switches, capable of supporting VLAN's in an 
appropriate manner?  The cheaper the better, at this point.

I have attempted VLAN's several times, for this purpose specifically, using 
Nortel  Baystack 450-24's.  Not working as one would expect.  Some say these 
simply do not do VLAN's properly

This can go off list, if it is OT.

[asterisk-users] Analog phones, dial out

2007-04-05 Thread Joe Acquisto
I have a system with a TDM400p 2FXO, 2FXS.  Analog phones work fine, on 
incoming calls, ring, answer, talk, hangup.

However, not so good dialing out.   Pickup handset, get dail tone.  Cli shows 
Starting simple switch on Zap/1-1.
Press a key and get Hungup Zap/1-1 and get the doot-doot-doot sound.   
Well, something like that, anyway.

It may take a large 2x4, today.

 You can install a stun server on the same PC that asterisk is running 
 on. 
 No need for it to be part of asterisk itself, it's a totally separate 
 program and will exist happily on the same server.
 
 Gordon

now for the next DA question, where to find it (one)?  Google has not been my 
friend.  An alleged spot on sourceforge turned up blank.

[asterisk-users] SIP - choppy sound on local LAN to T1

2007-04-04 Thread Joe Acquisto
New install,  Asterisk, obviously, Baystack 450 swtiches, verizon T1, Digium 4 
port T1 card 

Some (few) users have had complaints from their clients that sound quality is 
poor.  I do not know if the calls were placed via asterisk, or received via 
asterisk.  If it matters.

I believe this is a QoS issue, for the swtiches/infrastructure, wondering 
what can be done, if any one is familiar with these switches.   If they are dog 
for Voip,  recommendations?

Thanks.   Looking there, why would I need a stun client if the 
device/softdevice already has STUN support?

All I should need is the linux daemon thing-let, correct?

Thanks.   And this might go where, in rc.d/rc.firewall.local ?

But I don't get it.  Isn't this redundant?  Since I have port forwarding 
already.  . .?

[asterisk-users] Aastra 480 i

2007-04-02 Thread Joe Acquisto
Getting no service display on aastra 480i.  Sip debug shows an unathorized 
blub when the aastra tries to register.

Some reading indicates that 1.4 firmware wants aastra.cfg and mac.cfg in 
/tftpboot/.  There are none.

Anyone have basic config files? Or can point me to a good link?  All links I 
have tried, that purport to have config files, are either dead or error out.

Have configured aastra.cfg and mac.cfg.   phone seems to see them, as 
evidenced by different messages while booting up, but the end result is the 
same.   The time/date are always Sat, Jan 1, 12:00, despite there being a 
timeserver parameter and timeserver being enabled.

Any experiences with these phones?

 You don't need the cfg files (or a tftp) to boot the phones or register.
 There are some sample configs lying around, but Aastra's are very poorly
 documented (and their firmware still has big bugs - so don't modify from
 default too much).  We've setup a number of 480i's and got very 
 frustrated
 with their standard support answer maybe it will be fixed in the next
 firmware.
 
 Start with the basics - look at the name/password/domain used for login.

Yeah, fell back to that, after the .cfg files did not seem to do anything 
positive.  I have managed to get it to register, I resorted to using the web 
interface to configure.  
First, the time magically (not) came up correct.  After setting timeserver via 
the web.  Neither the cfg, nor the phone menu, seemed to take.  Then, setting 
proxy and registrar for line 1, from the web interface, seemed to get it 
registered.   I thought local settings always over rode the others.  Seems not.

What are peoples experience with the reliability of the TDM400p.  Specifically 
in the 2 FXO, 2 FXS configuration, which is the 022 (?) model.

Is this board prone to random failures?

[asterisk-users] TDM400p, no CLI activity

2007-03-19 Thread joe acquisto
New install, using TDM400p.  wctdm is loaded, asterisk loads.   Zaptel and 
zapata.conf are from a working system, same model board, same module locations.

CLI command zap show status shows all OK, zap show channels shows nothing 
defined.

Incoming calls show nothing on CLI, analog handsets have no dial tone and, of 
course, shown nohting on CLI.
