[Asterisk-Users] voip phone reviews

2005-04-07 Thread Jon Lawrence
Hi all,
I keep coming across the same question over and over again - which phone is 
best ?
So I've setup a website (www.voip-reviews.net) with the intention of bring 
phone reviews together into one place.
If anyone would like to add a review of their phone, please go ahead.
In good faith, I can only personally review phones that I've actually used. So 
the more people that add reviews of phone's they use, the better. I think 
this could be a good resource for newcommers to the VOIP arena - feel free to 
shout me down if you don't agree.

Regards,
Jon Lawrence

 What's making me desperate is that the lines go by, capiinit is, in fact,

 I login and type my very first command asterisk -vvvc and it then starts
 with no trouble.

 Is this strange or what ?

 Thanks in advance for your help.


I'm willing to bet that the modules haven't actually loaded when asterisk 
tries to start. I'm pretty sure I had the same problem on my box.
You need to slow down the boot (I know sounds weird everyone nowadays wants 
their machines to boot asap), instead of inserting text grabage, find where 
the modules are loaded and insert a couple of seconds of sleep after the 
modules are loaded - I'm away from my box atm and can't for the life of me 
actually remember the syntax. Run a quick google for 'bash sleep'.

Asterisk should only pick up in 1 of 3 conditions:
1) you have an answer() statement in your dial plan
2) your dial plan dials the extensions and one of the IP phones picks up the 
call.
3) Asterisk drops the call into voicemail.

I'm thinking that you probably have an answer() statement in your dial plan 
before the dial() statement.

[Asterisk-Users] switch statement.

2004-12-23 Thread Jon Lawrence
Hi all,
I'm a bit confused about how to use the switch statement.
I've got an IAX2 link between 2 servers (SA  SB).
I have use the switch statement to include extensions from SA onto SB which is 
happening perfectly. I've read that I can't use the switch statement the 
other way (ie SB-SA) at the same time.
What is the correct way for both servers to know about each others dialplans ?

  Fortunately, asterisk will do that for you to the second, looking at
  the cdr records and totalling up the duration column for a specific

  you'll be charged.

 Actually not true, although a common mistake.

 You do not pay to the provider by the second, so never, ever, ever total
 the duration column.

 Usually you don't pay by the minute either, but by some intermediate,
 like in units of 12 seconds, but you need to check it with the provider.

 This is a serious mistake, and it gets worse the more calls you total.

 Let's say, that you pay by the minute.
 Having made 6 calls of under ten seconds costs you as if you've made 6
 calls of 59 seconds.
 If you just total the duration of the calls, you'd think you're paying
 for one minute and you're actually paying for six.
 That's a big mistake.

 Now imagine you had 12000 calls to total.

 Always total the price for each call, never the duration.


OK, yes there's more to it than simply adding the up the duration of the 
calls. But, you shouldn't have any problem finding out from your provider how 
they charge for calls.
For example I believe that BT in the UK charge a minimum of 0.05 for any call, 
but so long as the call is longer than that you pay x amount per minute -= 
rounded to the next minute no doubt.
Once you know how your calls are charged, calculating your bill from the cdr 
records should be no big deal. Either load the records into a spreadsheet and 
do the calculations or use something like php or perl and pull the records 
into a webpage.

I've used SetCallerID(${CALLERIDNUM}) with /gS phones and they display CID

Hi,
you control which controller a call goes out by specifying the relevant msn.

configs something like (of top of my head):
capi.conf
[interfaces]
msn =12345
controller=1

msn = 54321
controller=3

extensions.conf
exten = _0664.,1,dial(capi/54321:${EXTEN})

exten = _.,1,dial(capi/12345:${EXTEN})

first line would send call out of controller 3, 2nd line sends it out 
controller1 .

 For some reason (didn't look into it too much) the call stays with sip

SIP is what sets up the session (ie it does session handling)
RTP is the transport protocol that the audio uses.

If you're using SIP then you're using RTP eos.

 However whenever I dial using these ISDN phones ... Asterisk is bypassed,
 and the call gets routed only by the telephone switching system connected

 connected to the same ISDN/Sbus as the Fritz! card to make (also) calls
 into Asterisk.

 How can I call Asterisk with any of these ISDN phones, without making an
 outgoing (paid) call through the telephone switch ?

 Should I need to install two Fritz! card, one connected to the ISDN/NT
 line, the other to the ISDN phones ? :-))


Firstly don't hijack threads - many people won't see this message as it's way 
back in the past. Start a new thread instead.

To do what you want, you'll have to install another card - not a fritz either. 
If I'm right on this then the card needs to work in NT mode. I think only a 
hfs (hfc ?) based card can do this.

[Asterisk-Users] chan_capi question

2004-12-09 Thread Jon Lawrence
Hi all,
I've finally taken the plunge and had isdn installed.
It's a BRI from Telewest in the UK.
I'm told by the provider that it's in point to multipoint mode with 6 digit 
presentation.
I'm using an AVM fritz (bt speedway) with the fcpci-suse9.1-3.11-02 driver.
Chan_capi seems to be installed fine.
I can receive incoming calls. However, I can't call out.
When ever i initiate an outgoing call, I get the following on the console:

Executing Dial(SIP/2014-8817, CAPI/*msn|bdialednumber) in new stack
Dec  9 23:10:24 WARNING[1390]: chan_capi.c:653 capi_call: Destination *msn* 
requres a real destination

Does any one know what this means and/or what I can do to fix it.

relevant conf's:
capi.conf:
[interfaces]

msn=mymsnnumber
incomingmsn=*
controller=1
softdtmf=1
accountcode=
context=isdnin
devices=2

extensions.conf
[ISDN1]
exten = _0.,1,dial(CAPI/${msn1},b${EXTEN})

I have a button on my 7960 that uses the context ISDN1 for outgoing calls.

I've tried to get mISDN working, but chan_capi refuses to admit that capi's 
loaded - so I abandoned that and went back to the avm module.

 Example:
 Works like this

yes, unless you have canreinvite=no in your sip.conf, assuming that the phones

 Same answer. Its up to the provider, and when they do support multiple

voiptalk.org allow 2 calls over a standard (free) account. You can get more

I'm sure there are others that do similar.

 Hi people,

 i know in the past that was not possible/supported so im just asking
 in case the option is now available.

yes, if that voice modem is a x100p or clone (same chipset).


 question two
 im planing to use asterisk as a pure voip solution with sip phones and
 h323 phones no need for digium/dialogic hardware at this moment (but i
 will in the near future).
 however i have not been able to find a documentation (not so
 complicated for a newbie) that help me to setup asterisk in this mode.

 Hi there,

 Maybe this has been cared about before but I could not find any solution to
 this problem either in the wikis or in the list archived. If someone has
 found a solution before please just tell me where I can find that
 info..thanks :)

 I am using iaxComm to call other people who are either using SIP or also
 IAX clients, like me.

 All of us are connected to the same asterisk server.

 When I talk to someone who is connected via SIP, I have no problems
 transfering him or parking him, it all works very well.
 But if the other party is connected via IAX like I am, then the pound-key
 will not work, I do not hear any transfer message.

 Please note that I am always using the same client, iaxComm, while just
 some of the others have SIP or IAX clients.

 So...why is my pound key not working when I am talking to someone who is
 connected via IAX? I did not find and clue about this anywhere :(

 Ah yes, the Dial entry is probably correct as it is always the same because
 it's included in a macro which is used by all normal extensions and
 includes both the t and T parameters.

 Any help is very much appreciated!

Okay, this is a bit of a guess.
iaxcomm - sip. call stream has to always go through * therefore # will work.
iaxcomm - iax. call stream will re-invite (perhaps not correct phrase for use 
with iax) unless canreinvite=no. Once clients are talking directly * is out 
of the stream therefore # cannot work.

 Hello list,
 I was looking for a way to implement non-blind call transfers with *, i.e.
 the usual behaviour of most PBXs when pressing the flash button:
 - A and B are talking
 - A pushes flash
 - A is free to compose a new number
 - B hears music on hold
 - A's call is answered by C
 - A hangs up
 - B and C are in conversation

 As much as I can understand, * only supports blind transfers, where if C
 does not answer the phone there is no way for A to get back to B. Is there
 a way to have a standard flash behaviour?


The above is exactly what happens with my system - I've not done anything 
special (ie patches) to make this happen. I can do attended transfers by 
simply doing 'flash' while in a call, dial the new number and talk, press 
flash again and hang up. It works perfectly for me :)
pressing # while in a call allows blind transfers.

[Asterisk-Users] fallthrough extension.

2004-12-02 Thread Jon Lawrence
Hi all,
I'm trying to sort out my dial plan.
What I'm wanting is something like the following - a bit simplified but 
hopefully you'll get the idea.
1) match internal extensions: dial them
2) anything else: send out zap

1 is easy :) it's 2 that's giving me problems.
I had hoped that the 'i' extension would act as a catchall extension but it 
seems to only do that from a menu. I've tried matching _. (hoping that * 
would parse the dial plan from top to bottom) but that just took over the 
entire dial plan and everything went out of the dial with the _. match.

I'm sure that there must be a way of doing this, can anyone point me in the 
right direction.

TIA

I was going just link to wiki but I couldn't find it - it must be there or on

But I couldn't find it so here you are:

1) ensure that your extension is allowed to transfer calls.
2) ring callee A
3) place callee A on hold (ie flash)
4) call callee B
5) when callee B answers press flash and you're in a 3 way call.

It's the same as an attended transfer but without you hanging up

Currently 2K is connected to DECT, ata286 to fax and a 7960G for main use.
I have in the past had budgetones and yes, they do look cheap - but so what if

I work from home, hence the 7960G (I simply needed more lines). But imho

 Jon,

 I actually had some more discussions with Tim on this issue, and it seems
 that the channel bank would still be a good option to choose for internal
 purposes. I would not see any other solution than a channel bank to connect
 many 2wire phones into one asterisk box. I had a talk today with Carrier
 Access, and it seems that the adit would do us fine. The fxs cards of the
 adit 600 are actually reprogrammable for uk phones (dip switches). We have
 requested a test platform from CAC which I hope would arrive here shortly,
 and we would test how the fxs ports work with different uk phones.

I'd be interested if you could report back to the list with your findings.


 I would really be unhappy to scratch our existing phone cable network and
 to lay an entire new LAN and to buy many IP phones. First of all - new
 installations always have teething problems. Then the admin headache with
 the many IP phones. Also - the solution doesn't scale very easily. For each
 new phones we need a new network socket... or a hub. Then one mains
 connection per phone (with power supply - more fire risk). And on and on...
 Using 2wire phones eliminates all that - cables are there already, users
 can buy any phone they like, we can put in additional sockets without admin
 effort and so on. Really - 2wire rocks!

Wiring isn't my problem - all our connections are over cat5e. In our building 
we rent out most of the offices, the clients provide their own phones and we 
simply provide the lines. Some of their phones look pretty expensive, so I'd 
rather not tell them that they can't use them anymore.
As with any office scenario power sockets are an issue - people never put 
enough in when they design the rooms.

 The pstn connectivity is an entirely different matter. 

Our connection is via pri so this isn't  a great issue.

[Asterisk-Users] cisco router *

2004-10-26 Thread Jon Lawrence
Hi all,
Just checking that what I want to do is possible.
I've got a cisco 3620 in my lab (IP plus ios). I'm thinking of moving my 
current pots lines to isdn BRI at home. What I'm thinking of is putting a 
wic-1b(s/t) into the 3620 and using that to pass incoming calls to * via sip.
As I understand it this should be doable.
I suppose my question is will the 3620 pay all caller ID information to * so 
that it can be logged.

I don't yet have the BRI installed, so I can't post configs etc.

TIA.
Jon

Should have known Cisco would want more money from me to get this working :)
It'll probably be cheaper to get a 1751V and a vic-2bri rather than a nm-2v + 
vic-2bri for the 3620.
Going to have to do some more saving up.
Plan 2. What's the best bri card to put directly in a * box in the UK.

If anyone would like to quote for a NM-2V + vic-2BRI please send off list. I'm 
assuming that this is about the only way to get a 3620 connected to a BRI for 
voice ?

 VIA used to be bad, but seem to get steadily better. Intel are just
 erratic. I think most makers have made good and bad chipsets. Go with
 known good chips, not specific makers. The same goes with motherboards.


So what are known good chips ??

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Chaining more than one zap echo canceller?

2004-10-13 Thread Jon Lawrence

 Adding resistance to one side of the line only begs for problems
 as it creates a tip-ring imbalance that will cause echo, etc,
 when other imperfections exist.

 If that approach works at all for anyone, its addressing a symptom
 and not the root cause.

 Try this one: Each customer loop is made up of copper and the longer
 the copper, the more resistance. Yet the impedance (in the US) is
 consistently 600 ohms. A short loop might be a 100 ohms while a long
 loop might be well over 1500 ohms; still both are 600 ohm impedance.

That's how it should work. The resistance of a loop will change with distance, 
but the impendence of that loop should remain roughly constant regardless of 
distance.

 work?

Yes, the internal clients can see the external but not the other way round.
I thought that canreinvite=no meant that the clients didn't need to be able to 
talk directly - just be registered on the same * box.

Okay, I've made some changes. I've moved the local phones to public IP's.
So now everything is connecting effectively from the internet to the * box.
Things are still the same as before - I can initiate calls from local phones 
to remote ones.
If a remote phone tries to initiate the call, the internal phone rings. When I 
pickup the internal phone, the call isn't completed.

I've included a trace below of an incomming call.
I don't know which bits are relevant so I've pasted it all.

 What are your codec settings in sip.conf ??

 Could you try (can be set at client level):

 disallow=all

codec's are set to allow all.
I can't see how this would help. I can talk fine from local client to remote 
so the codecs must be correct.

No it's not.
I'm not saying that it won't fix it - it might.

I've just put my local phone back on the internal network, moved the remote 
phone onto a vlan that have a ipsec vpn to my internal network - guess what, 
everything worked. If the problem was down to me having all codec's allowed 
then this should not have worked - at least I don't think it should have :)



 I tried this too as an experiment and asterisk appears to take all
 to mean all codecs you can think of, not just the ones you have
 converters for.

 Instead of all you may want to try listing the codecs asterisk
 actually has (this is from -current):

 ;
 ; codecs: a_mu adpcm alaw g726 gsm ilbc lpc10 ulaw
 ;
 disallow=all
 allow=ulaw
 allow=alaw
 allow=gsm
 allow=adpcm
 allow=g726
 allow=ilbc
 ;; allow=lpc10  (robotman)


I'll try this any way - since it's something I've not tried.
If this does cure my problems, I'll be throughly confused.

In response to myself.
Setting specific codecs has indeed fixed the problem.
Q - how and why ?
when the remote phone has a vpn directly to my internal LAN, everything works 
perfectly when codecs=all. But when it's connecting in from a public IP 
everything goes pear shaped.
Can anyone give a even a clue as to why this happens ?
Or is it like many other things that don't make sense - it just does :)

Thanks to everyone that offered advise.

[Asterisk-Users] internal external SIP

2004-07-08 Thread Jon Lawrence
Hi all,
I've got a problem with external sip clients.
My * box has 2 nics, one to my internal network and one on a public IP.
There are external sip clients (on public IPs) and internal clients on the 
internal nic.
both clients can register fine.
I can phone external clients from the internal clients and the connection 
works perfectly.
But if an external client phones an internal one, the internal phone rings, 
but when the phone is picked up the external call disappears.
Both internal and external have canreinvite=no

Can anyone give me any ideas where to start looking into this.

Regards,
Jon

 I can't wait for that day.

 I don't deny that cisco make some nice products, but I don't like companies
 who have the attitude that since they're big and powerful they can invent
 whatever pricing policy they want and rip off the consumer.  Of course, the
 argument is that as a consumer I can simply choose not to buy if I don't
 want to - and indeed we are now turning towards Polycom phones rather than
 Cisco.

 Cisco phones are already expensive enough - it is simply cheeky that they
 should have to charge further for the software that runs on the phone.
 That is a joke. All hardware includes software to some degree, yet one
 doesn't have to pay creative labs for the drivers that power their
 soundcards, nor Vegastream for the bundled web manage interface. And when
 bugs are fixed, it should be the responsibility of manufacturers to update
 them - the bugs shouldn't exist in the first place.

 Reading through some of the arguments on this thread (both pro  anti
 Cisco) it is interesting how some feel that we should be paying Cisco the
 money they are demanding because it funds research and development - ironic
 considering this very list is about community support for a community made
 project. Asterisk, like many other open source projects, prove that
 innovation CAN and DOES take place without direct financial incentive -
 indeed the likes of sendmail, bind, apache etc... were around years before
 Microshaft came out with its equivalent tripe - and they charge piss loads
 for what is effectively a piece of shite.

 For the Cisco phones we DO have, we don't have any purchased licenses and I
 don't ever intend on getting any either. Cisco can sue my ass if they
 really want to.

I have no problem with the idea of paying cisco for software that they write.
In fact I have no problem with with paying for software full stop. But I'd 
love to have enough money to sue them if that software proved to have 
security issues or proved to be not fit for purpose - eg if a phone had a bug 
in its implementation of SIP.
If people/companies want to charge for software fine (after all it takes 
time/money to develop) but they should be willing to take the responsibility 
that goes with it. Most companies don't - at least if you cantact cisco with 
a problem then they'll do their best to fix it or at least come up with a 
work-around, which is more than a certain other companies do.

[Asterisk-Users] UK BT caller ID revisted

2004-03-20 Thread Jon Lawrence
Hi all,
Does anyone know the procedure for adding a serial output to a cheap caller 
display unit. If I can find a way of doing this then I'm sure there will be 
away for linux to take the CallerID info, write it to a file, * to open that 
file an read the number from it.

TIA
Jon

I can imagine that a commercial list could be useful for inter-provider stuff.
But from a user point of view, having commercial things on this list is very 
useful - if a commercial provider releases a new (clever or completely 
different) service, it's very useful to find out about it without having to 
trawl around the internet.
Perhaps commercial postings should be made to have [commercial] in the subject 
line. Then users who don't want to receive that traffic can simply filter 
them.

 are
 handy with a soldering iron, you could also consider modifying caller
 display units
  - they can be had for less than a fiver at The Link or similar, and
 just require
 the addition of a serial driver chip to interface them to a PC.
 The serial data output from these units is virtually
 identical to the meteor and is well documented (since it's specified
 and documented as part of the BT standard).

Have you interfaced this with *. If so how ?
Also, have you any more details on altering the caller display units ? urls 
would be great.

[Asterisk-Users] extensions problem

2004-03-15 Thread Jon Lawrence
Hi,
I've got 2 x100p's installed in my system.
Both execute the same incoming contexts as follows:
[inboundA]
include = dialjon
[inboundB]
include = dialjon|09:00-16:30|Mon-Fri|*|*

[dialjon]
exten = s,1,answer
exten = s,2,Dial(SIP/2000,15)
exten = s,3,Playback(noone)
exten = s,103,Goto(onphone,s,1)
snip

Am I right in saying:
if no one answers at ext 2000 then s,3 is executed.
if ext 2000 is busy  then 103 is executed.

If so then sometihng is wrong. If I'm already on a call, I want 103 to be 
executed however, this isn't happening. If a new call comes in (whilst I'm 
talking on ext 2000) I here it ringing on my handset.

Can anyone point out where I've gone wrong ?

TIA
Jon

 It depends on your SIP device. Asterisk places the call to your SIP device

 knowledge that you are busy. Check you SIp phone if you can limit the
 number of concurrent calls.

So does anyone know if the Grandstream handytone-286 sends this busy answer 
?
I'm guessing it doesn't. In that case, what other ways are there of connecting 
my dect phones to a voip * system ? - can I just connect them into the 
x100p's phone socket (how do I send calls to that port) or do I need to get a 
fxs card and run wire's everywhere  - not an option :(
How does everyone else connect up DECT phones to a * based system.

Surely * should know if a phone is in use ? After all it initiated/took part 
in the call in the first place ;)

 I'm pretty sure that the incominglimit specifies how many calls that * can
 send to the SIP device.  If you set incominglimit=1 and then do a SIP SHOW
 INUSE from the *CLI then you will see the limit set.  The behavior of *
 then will consider the device busy if there is a call in progress and the
 inuse count is incremented.

 Paul Lieu did some work on this a few months ago and I've been using it on
 my Cisco 7960 and Grandstream BT-102 phones.

The interface to my handytone is identical to a BT-102 so it may also work 
with the handytone :). Where did you specify incominglimit=1 - is it in the 
sip.conf for that UA ?

I can imagine situations where call waiting might be useful, but only if I can 
acknowledge the call with the phone either rejecting it to a queue or 
ditching the current call and picking up the incoming one - something to play 
with in the future (once I've found a way of getting UK callerID working).
I've added the Incominglimit=1 and that's fixed my immediate problem.

[Asterisk-Users] UK callerID on BT line

2004-03-12 Thread Jon Lawrence
Hi all,
Has anyone found a way of extracting callerID information from a BT pstn line.
I'm currently using a x100p which as we all know can't detect the callerID on 
a UK BT pstn line.
Has anyone found any hardware which can detect the callerID which could be 
interfaced to the * system in some way or other.

Alternatively has anyone any news on the availability of fxo modules for the 
TDM400

TIA,
Jon

 Isamar

I tihnk that it's primarily a hardware limitation.
The callerID on a UK BT line is sent before the first ring tone. It is 
initiated by a line reversal - from what I can gather the x100p can't detect 
this. There are supposed to be some new modules coming out for the TDM400P 
which will work - but then they were supposed to be out before Christmas - 
does anyone know when/if they are going to get released.

Hopefully the attached configs will be of help to you.
They're pretty basic :)
The one's you'll be interested in are zapata.com, extensions.conf and possibly

[Asterisk-Users] x100p Q.

2004-03-06 Thread Jon Lawrence
Hi everyone.
I've now managed to my basic voip setup working, but I have a problem with my 
fxo cards.
If I plug the cards into the pstn line whilst a normall phone is also plugged 
in, the normal phone continually rings. I'm convinced that this is a problem 
with the wiring but I don't know what/why. The * box works perfectly (with 
the exception of the callerid) so long as I don't have another phone plugged 
in. I can't just unplug all the other phones - the sky box + alarm system 
must remain plugged in.
I can still ring out on the other phones and also on the * box, but the 
constant ringing is obviously a problem :)

Is this normal ?
Has anyone else seen this ?
fyi I'm based in the UK.

TIA

 I'd be surprised if the alarm can't also be configured in a similar way.

It probably can, but it's hardwired and would cost to have it rewired.
There must be a way around this - surely an x100p can't expect to be thev only 
thing on the line.

 PS, is anyone working on CallerID in the UK? It would be very handy, but I
 don't know enough about programming/phones to do anything bar testing!
From what I've read, the fxo modules for the tdm400p should solve the problem 
- if they ever get released.
