Re: [asterisk-users] How to detect long calls
I had the same problem last year, at the time for some reason Timeout instruction wouldn't trigger, so, just to be sure not to have to pay for another longdistance call, I did the following, (following someone's advise in here) /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx show channels concise |awk -F : '($11 1500) {print /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx \soft hangup $1 \} '|sh this will hangup any call longer than 1500 seconds, or what ever value you choose hope it helps you somehow ;-) Manrique Cullin J. Wible escribió: You should: Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=14400) When the call is received - this will set the maximum limit of a call and asterisk will force hang-up when the limit is reached. 14400 seconds = 4 hours, which for our purposes is longer then any call we expect. Even if you double-it or set it to several days some limit is better then nothing. When we found the same problem we had a call that was stuck open for 20 days. The call was stuck in a conference and was sending the on-hold music, which is what kept it open. Hope that helps. Cullin J.

Re: [asterisk-users] can Digium FXS channels support been half mile to 1 mile length away from phone?
Thanks Rich, I was expecting that. I was worried because on other type of cards if you set the phone too far you'll burn the port of the card, mainly because of the lack of capacity to keep such a long line up. Now when you say 2 or three ringers, you mean 2 or three ring events or phones ringing at once or what did you mean? I need 6 phones now, and not expecting more than 2 ringing at once.

Telco lines in rural areas often times exceed six miles. So, yes the digium card will handle your half mile just fine. The ring generator on the card is much smaller then those used in the telco, and is likely limited to maybe two or three ringers at the distant location. Don't plan on attaching multiple phones to the fxs port at your remote location.

Thanks for your reply Tony(I'm starting a new thread now, sorry about that!!) I see we'll have to do some developing for what I'm looking for, but thinking again about it, I should be able to make one room for chatting of 4 users, and one room only for listening of about 120 calls, shouldn't I? Now, talking about capacity with meetme, If I work with a quad span E1, getting all connections to talk between them on meetme, (that is not transcoding and not connecting to SIP phones). Will this take too much CPU?

Is this doable with meetme?? (am I making any sense?) Not directly. You will need some kind of program that is using the Manager API to monitor activity and issue the unmute commands. Alternatively, make your own customised version of MeetMe itself. You should also consider how you might notify a caller when they become eligible to speak. Is this a reasonable amount of calls to handle with meetme?¿?

Re: [asterisk-users] long distance ethernet Asterisk
another thought, if you are in a bowl, all you need to find is line of sight to one common place from both ends, and place a repeater there. (you could also set two or three steps repeating the signal within points which have line of sight). I'm not sure but I think one repeater would be much cheaper than 20.000ft of copper + extenders + poles+ maintenance, lighning... (even thought you are in Copper Mountain !!, BTW nice spot ). if in the end you decide to go with ethernet, just beware of lighning!!! Brian Vincent (C) escribió: I know.. I know… fiber would be ideal. We have single-mode all over the place. We even have some dark, unterminated strands within 2000ft of this location – it makes me want to cry. Unfortunately lighting it up isn’t an option – we wouldn’t gain anything because we couldn’t connect to anything else to get us the last stretch.

thanks for your worthy advise Andres, that in deed does the trick. I had actually thought about that solution, but then I'll have to evaluate all calls again at hangup ( h ) to see how to handle their end, That in my case wasnt all that nice given I need different types of finishing funtions to be performed according to what the call went like and to the type of call. Besides that it made the dial plan less readable. I thought maybe if there was a way to avoid this exited non-zero on ZAP/6-1 situation I could handle each finishing right at each extensions end.

Re: [asterisk-users] Connecting branch offices through IPsec tunnel -- latency effects?
Ive done it with a tunnel set with OpenVPN, and works quite good, there is a slight increase of lattency but not noticeable to humans. that is doing it via UDP tunnel, we also tried via a TCP tunnel and results weren't good, lattency increased more than desired and voice quality was poor. other than that enough CPU is very advisable Stephen Bosch escribió: Hi: If I connect two offices through an IPsec tunnel, what is the impact on latency, and does it noticeably affect calls?

[asterisk-users] transfers from an E1 using 2b-channel or similar anyone? (QSIG?)
Hi all, Here is the situation: A call comes in to an Alcatel PBX and it sends it to an E1 on * , this * either sends the call to a VoIP extension or needs to forward it to an extension back on the Alcatel, but WITHOUT using another slot of the E1 (no tromboning or hairpinning). I've read you can do this with 2b channel transfers implemented on 5ESS, and also on QSIG. I know Matthew Fredrickson did it on * (I think he programmed it for *) I also know there is quite a bit of people pursuing this same goal, which is way important to lower the income barriers for * to enter the legacy world. Has anyone actually done it? I appreciate any input whatsoever, and if possible a sample of how to manage it on *.What to put on the extensions.conf to perform the transfer and any other files needed, thanks ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Hi Matt, thanks for your answer, I guess it is still as you said a while back that you did it using 5ESS Can you share how you did in 5ESS? (a sample of the extensions.conf ) and what kind of switch you were connected to? I'm not sure if the Alcatel 4400 and the Nortel Meridian 11 supports 5ESS, but are willing to find out. thanks Manrique Matthew Fredrickson escribió: On Jul 25, 2006, at 12:53 PM, Manrique Feoli wrote: Hi all, Here is the situation: A call comes in to an Alcatel PBX and it sends it to an E1 on * , this * either sends the call to a VoIP extension or needs to forward it to an extension back on the Alcatel, but WITHOUT using another slot of the E1 (no tromboning or hairpinning).

The Q.SIG version is a little bit more complicated than some of the other versions.

[asterisk-users] How to send a signal via E1/T1 ISDN to asterisk, to ask the call to be moved.
Hi, all I have an * which receives calls from PSTN and some of them fo to an E1 where another system is working (Dialogic Boards). I need to be able to send a signal to * from the system with the Dialogic boards, preferrably via the E1 so that * knows it has to move the call from slot ZAP25 to SIP/ xxx . Im thinking to use the manager with a socket connection for this, but would be much cleaner for me if I can send a message via the E1, has anyone done something similar? please welcome any ideas for this PS (if this sounds familiar, it's because I'm trying to go arround the 2b-channel limitation that we discussed earlier on, where I couldn't find a way to tell ) ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
