 Ther's probably a simple answer to this but I've searched

 to have DTMF tones passed through Asterisk without it
 messing with them?  I am using a tdm21b card and when I
 call an ivr system from the telephone handset (routed over
 sip or iax2) such as telebanking, the ivr has trouble
 recognizing tones.  When I tested this with a remote party,
 I was told tones were breaking up.  For example, a long
 press would result in a click, some silence and a small
 dtmf on the remote end.  Triggering a speed dial didn't go
 well either as he heard only a few tones.  I have
 dtmfmode=inband in sip.conf and have tried relaxdtmf=yes in
 zapata.conf.
 
 I realize Asterisk does need to detect dtmf for things like
 call parking but can it just pass the audio to the other
 side with no regard for whether it's dtmf digits?  IE. long
 press results in long tone, etc.

We've run into some problems with * and dtmf.  *Usually* dialing the
digits more slowly will help.  It seems to be worse with some SIP
devices than others.  But when calling from my handset on an FXS to my *
system which goes IAX2 to another * system and then out a VoIP service
line, I can dial as fast as my fingers can go and never miss...  snoms
and sipuras on the latter system can have trouble if we dial too
quickly...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] best hardphone for Asterisk?

 Still awfully pricey for home use and the styling is not there for a

 sip phone modeled like the panasonic or uniden which allow multiple
 extension off of one base. The base would connect to the internet. The
 other problem is many of these phones require power, so even if you have
 backup for your central system the phone still needs to be on it. Power
 over ethernet would help.

1. If you have *, you don't necessarily need multiple handsets off of one
base.
2. Cordless phones also require power
3. If the multi-handset cordless phone does suit your needs best, then
get a SIP ATA device like a Sipura or IAXy and you should have your
needs met.

[Asterisk-Users] latest @Home questions

2006-05-24 Thread Michael George
We are moving our asterisk 1.0 system to a new Asterisk @Home
system (2.8) and I am the one in charge of doing it.

I have run into a snag, though, on meetme conferences and with the
transfer key.

Regarding the transfer, it appears that both directions of all calls can
transfer by pressing the # key.  I do not like that ability.  I would
like to change it by doing 2 things:

1. Make the transfer sequence be ## rather than #
I looked at the features.conf file and it didn't have an entry for
blindxfer, so I added it.  However, # is still the transfer character
so it doesn't seem to be recognizing the settings from
features.conf.

2. Not allow incoming calls to transfer at all.
I've looked at the dial() string on incoming calls and they do not
contain a t or T like I would expect for the channel to be able to
transfer.

As for the meetme conferences, the docs say that for all extensions
defined, there is a meetme conference at 8ext.  So extension 250 would
have a conference at 8250.  This isn't the case on our installation.

I went to the Conference menu item and defined a conference at 1000 and
I put an entry into the IVR for incoming callers to get into the
conference and that works fine (except that after the PIN number, they
cannot press # to signal the end of the PIN -- that will try a
transfer).  However, I don't have a way to get to the conference from an
extension.

I think I'm missing something, because meetme setup cannot be that
difficult...

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

From: Michael George george
Subject: meetme conference latency degrades...
To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com

We have recently started making more frequent use of the meetme
conference of our * system.

We are using v1.0.8 with a 2.6.11 kernel on our system.

We generally have 4 callers in it: two with the gsm codec and 2 with g729.
Initially, the conference works fine and there is little latency.  After
about 15min., though, the latency is very noticable and by 25min it's
unbearable.

If we all leave the conference and return, the latency is unnoticable
again.

The load on the box is minimal, and only our meetme is running most of
the time.  Checking system load with top shows 0.1 or less.

We have no digium hardware and use ztdummy for our timing device.
zttest yields results generally in the area of 99.96%, but about 3-4%
will be as low as 95%.

In much smaller systems with Digium hardware, the accuracy is never
below 99.98% and is often 100%.

Is this apparent inaccuracy of the ztdummy timer likely the cause of the
increasing latency in our meetme conference? 

Is there any way to improve it?

Thank you, in advance, for any help.

[Asterisk-Users] nic aliases not working

2006-04-11 Thread Michael George
I have an * box that I need to chang the IP address on.

My hope was that I could add an alias to the interface with a different
IP address, have * bind to all addresses, change DNS and when no more
hits come on the old address.

However, IAX registrations coming in to the alias don't seem to get
acknowledged by *.  Even with iax2 debug on, I don't see any attempts.

We can ssh in on both IP addresses and I have bindaddr=0.0.0.0 in
iax.conf.

Is this not possible for some reason?  Maybe multiple IP addresses work
but nic aliases do not?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] SIP contexts being confused

 I have the same problem.
 My solution is differentiate in extensions.conf, since all calls are
 terminated to different MSISDN's.
 
 So in extensions.conf I have something like:
 
 [incoming]
 exten = 9995551212,1,Goto(company1-context,s,1)
 exten = 9995551213,1,Goto(company2-context,s,1)

I have done something similar.  So the calls are being handled
correctly as the progress through the system.

The problem is that when doing a show channels all connections from
either trunk are indicated as being from the last one in sip.conf.
Also, and this is the bigger problem, I don't have the control over
codecs that I would like.

To allow 729 for one trunk and ulaw for the other requires that both
trunks be defined to allow both codecs and hope that the VoIP provider
will always prefer the right one.

Question for you: In your sip.conf for your two SIP trunks, do they use
any authentication (username and password) or do they use IP exclusively
to determine the trunk?

Thank you for your reply!

[Asterisk-Users] Strange SIP registration situation

2006-02-20 Thread Michael George
I have 2 Polycom SP 500's attached to my system.  Both are behind NATs,
but both seem to work fine, for the most part.

A few weeks ago, I started to notice that I get an error message from
one of them:

Feb 20 08:54:58 NOTICE[10663]: chan_sip.c:7691 handle_request:
Registration from 'sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' failed for
'zzz.aaa.103.75'

However, trying to call the phone works fine, so I know it's registered.

Turning on SIP debug for the phone shows that it attempts to register
and is rejected with unauthorized, then another attempt is rejected
with forbidden, and finally a registration succeeds.

The other phone doesn't exhibit this behavior.

I am running asterisk 1.0.7.

Has anyone used Polycoms remotely from behind a NAT enough to have
insight as to what is going on?

Thanks!

I second the suggestion to use your * system as the FTP server.  You can
then get more information from the logs and you have more choices for
which server to run.

We have excellent luck with pure-ftpd in a gentoo installation.  It
allows us to make virtual FTP users so that *only* the users who are

What part of his suggestion?  Upgrading the firmware to 4.5 via the tftp

Please elaborate for the benefit of others who may run into this

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Aastra firmware 1.3.x

2005-12-29 Thread Michael George
I have a related question about the 480i and firmware 1.3...

I have a 480i that I got about 1yr. ago and it didn't work well at all.
I finally got around to updating the firmware.  However, the phone will
not load its firmware.

I set up the tftp server and I pointed the phone to it.  I can watch the
logs on the tftp server and see that the transfer initiates.  However,
at a point in the startup process, the Aastra locks up.  The little
progress wheel on the display freezes and it won't respond to anything.
Not the keypad, Web interface, not even (IIRC) pings.

Has anyone run into this before?

 the same for all phones. handset tx gain xx varies form +5 to +10, to get
 the same result. So I believe this is a HW issue.

[Asterisk-Users] Aastra 480i

2005-12-16 Thread Michael George
I have an Aastra 480i that used to have firmware 1.0.0... on it.  I got
the new 1.3 firmware and had the phone fetch that from my TFTP server,
but after running about 15s, it stops.

No more downloading, no response to WebGUI, no response to buttons,
nothing.  I rebooted it (not a good idea, I know) and it complained that
there was no application and tried to reload from tftp server again.

Same thing happened.  So I tried the firmware for the 480i CT IP phone,
but that did the same thing.

The little wheel spins on the display when it boots but it stops when
the download stops.

Anyone have any advice?

I just want the firmware in there, I am happy to manually configure the
phone with the UI...

 Without being a smartass, the only way to find out is to see if it  
 works. More obviously, if the Asterisk server has a NAT between it  
 and the ITSP, then use nat=yes, if it doesn't, then use nat=no. Of  
 course, if you set nat=no, then don't bother setting localnet or  
 externip, either.
 
 Also keep in mind that some routers' DMZ settings still leave your  
 box behind NAT. They just forward all of the ports to the specified  
 address. (Linksys routers do this.)

I didn't detect any smartassity in your response...

I'm going to try nat=yes in the general section and then I'm going to
trim down the RTP port range just for fun and see what happens.

 Take that out, you don't need it.

He had this in there for testing to show that the problem was not mpg123,
which he did.

 However, with a call in progress, if I hit hold or flash on SIP ATA 1, it
 behaves correctly, but no music on hold is heard on SIP ATA 2.  I can see 
 in
 my Asterisk console that MusicOnHold() gets called and tcpdump shows the
 INVITE that first sets the RTP source to 0.0.0.0 then sets it to the IP of 
 my
 Asterisk box.
 
 None of this is needed; Asterisk will stream MOH to ATA 2 all by itself, 
 just by the fact that ATA 1 put ATA 2 on hold. You have 
 over-complexified the setup :-)

I'm not sure what you mean here.  You do have to defind a MOH class for any
channel not using default.

I think the problem you have is that you have not indicated anywhere that you
have set the MOH class for either channel to random.  If you do not do that,
it will try to use MOH class default. 

Make sure you test the default class with your 899 extension, or set the MOH
class to random for the channels you are testing.

HTH.

[Asterisk-Users] actionID on manager events

2005-09-14 Thread Michael George
Hello, all!

I'm looking at the wiki page and info on the mailing list and I'm getting
conflicting info...

I am using the manager API from the telnet CLI and I am testing creating calls
with it.  I login with events: on and I can originate calls just fine.

However, when I set ActionID on an Originate, I cannot see anywhere where that
actionid carries into the Event output.

But I found this on a post from January:
   Yes, ActionID is a value you can use when issuing a command.  It there so
that you can be sure you respond to your own responses not to someone 
else's
or that you respond to an response instance in the correct way.  In a
multi-threaded app you might have several actions outstanding so you 
will
need to know what response corresponds to which command.

Which indicates that the actionid should be coming through.  Is there perhaps
some setting I'm missing?

Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] Snom 360 hold problem

2005-09-01 Thread Michael George
Hello,

I have a customer who said that their Snom 360 is joining calls by accident.

The situation is that they had one call on the line and another call came in.
She pressed the hold button on the phone and the two calls were joined
together.

I do have Call join on Xfer set to yes, but I thought that would only come
into play when doing a transfer, not putting someone on hold.

The phone is at firmware 4.1, and there are no new updates, so that shouldn't
be it.

Anyone else experience this behavior on the phones, or know if I need to turn
off Call Join on Xfer?

Thanks!

 Please take a look at http://www.snom.com/howto40.html. We tried to make

 New phones dont need that upgrade procedure. It is only necessary when
 you are crossing the 4.0 version border. For example, all 320 already
 have the certificate installed already, so for 320 there is no need to
 go throught the procedure.
 
 For release notes for 4.0, please check out
 http://www.snom.com/snom360_release_notes.html.

I found the license issue info on the website.  So my question boils down to
this:

Does this explain why they would not register, or do I have to worry that
there is some new setting which caused the problem?  I do not want to go
through the pain of upgrading the customer's phones (probably with a site
visit) only to find that I have to downgrade them and go though it again with
4.1.

Also, is there any way to tell the phone, *before a reboot* that I want it to
update the firmware?  I do most of my maintenance remotely, and I can tell the
phones where to find new firmware and clicking Load will start the reboot
process.

However, I need a person there to press the Check button so that it will
really update the firmware.  Is there any way around this so that I can update
the phone after-hours and remotely?

Thank you...  Not just for this answer, but for all the answers I get from
this list!  I've been working with asterisk for a bit over a year, though I do
not know near as much as many of you.  I try to chime in with answers when I
can, but I have received much more info from this list than I have contributed.

This list is a true shining example of how Open Source Software can work!

[Asterisk-Users] strange dial problem with polycom 501

2005-07-28 Thread Michael George
I am having a strange problem with polycom 501 and dailing.  I've read the
archives and no one there specifically mentions this problem, so I thought I'd
ask here.

The problem is that when the user picks up the receiver or pressed new call,
sometimes they will enter a number (for example 95072091234) and in the middle
of the number the cursor might jump back one digit.  So the call above, if
just typed into the phone, might end up: 9507291234.  Other times the cursor
might jump right back to the beginning of the number.

This doesn't happen when they enter the number and the press dial, so it
seems to be a digitmap problem.

However, the digitmap is nearly the same as what I've used on IP-500s in the
past.  It is:
[0]|*8|*2xx|#5|#7x|[278]xx|[9]11|9411|9x.T

[Actually it was  [0]|*8|*2xx|#5|#7x|[278]xx|[9]11|9411|9x.T -- I don't know
where that space came from, but I'll take it out and test again today.]

Are there any obvious problems with that digitmap?  Anything else that I
should take a look at?

Thank you.

[Asterisk-Users] musiconhold in sip.conf

2005-07-20 Thread Michael George
I have a PBX set up so that all the channels have musiconhold=classname.
We use all SIP phones and SIP to the VoIP provider.  All channels have that
setting.

I directly call SetMusicOnHold(classname) for all incoming calls, but
outgoing calls should be set by the musiconhold= configuration parameter.

However, I still have circumstances that will play the default MOH class, but
I cannot narrow down the circumstances which cause the classname setting to
be lost.

I'm using asterisk 1.0.7, Polycom phones, and a SIP provider.  I have
confirmed that all sip.conf entries have musiconhold=classname set.  Most
users are using the Polycom hold and transfer capability, if that should make
a difference...

Any other things I should look for to find the cause of the loss of that
setting?

Thank you.

 Yes, I mean running sip show channels both pre- and post-hold and
 seeing if the codec listed for the channel is different. If it is, try
 disallowing the second codec in sip.conf.

Okay, I'll check that.  Is there a way to disable all but the first codec from
the GUI?  I've not yet gotten to the mass-configuration yet...

Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] snom 360 audio garbled

2005-07-18 Thread Michael George
I have a new snom 360 on an internal net to my * box.  When putting a call on
hold and taking it off, the audio will usually be broken and not
understandable.

Sometimes this happens on incoming calls and almost always on outgoing calls.

Anyone run into this before?

Thx!

[Asterisk-Users] Polycoms and paging

2005-07-13 Thread Michael George
I'm looking at deploying some Polycom 501's here, but one thing that still
needs confirmation before I can move forward is global paging.

I figure that I can couple polycom auto-answer
(http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Polycom+auto-answer+config) with
this script:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2004-March/040186.html

However, that script was posted over a year ago.

I'm hoping someone can confirm for me whether the info on these two pages will
still work with * 1.0.7+ so I know what to expect to get paging to work.

I'm not sure how much time investment my superiors will accept and while
paging is not a make-it-or-break-it feature, they will be duly impressed if I
can get it working.

Thanks for any feedback anyone might have on this...

 which works like a charm for interoffice calling (between the 360's,

 possible to have the ZAP lines notify for the outbound lines so we can 
 see how many lines are in use.

I am by no means an expert at this, but I did some experimentation and it
appears that the NOTIFY will not get sent for the trunk lines, only for
extensions.  I also found that the SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY sequence only works for
SIP and ZAP, I couldn't get it to work for IAX2.

I do not know why this would be, and it is possible I was doing something
wrong, but for what it's worth, that's my experience so far.

[Asterisk-Users] verbosity in log files

2005-07-06 Thread Michael George
I have an installation where one of the users claims that they have had
calls where they could hear audio and the other party could not.

I went to /var/log/asterisk and looked at messages and full, but they didn't
have much info in them.

I have:
full = notice,warning,error,debug,verbose

in logger.conf, but the log file doesn't look anything like the verbose output
I get from the CLI.

Is there another setting somewhere that I need to turn on so that full is
full?

[Asterisk-Users] voicemail.conf overwritten

2005-07-05 Thread Michael George
I'm trying to set up a base * configuration in a version control system.

I have nearly all the system-specific configuration pulled out into a
subdirectory so that /etc/asterisk is very generic and I can copy it into
another system when I create it.

The only stickler is voicemail.conf.

Includes within voicemail.conf will work, but when a user changes their
password, * cannot put the change into the included file and a restart would
wipe out password changes.

I tried using symlinks and hard links and it appears that when a user changes
their VM password, the file is deleted and rewritten.  Those semantics defeat
both types of links.

I will have to ponder this issue for a bit.  If anyone has suggestions, please
offer them.  If I come up with a solution transparent to the revision control
system (subversion), I will report back to the list.

Thank you.

You haven't upgraded your kernel since you installed the zaptel package, did
you?

If you do:

do you see ztdummy.ko in there?

I have a system running 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 and zaptel 1.0.7 with no problems.

However, I load the modules in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 with:

ztdummy

and I have asterisk and zaptel running at default runlevel with asterisk

See how that compares to your configuration...

[Asterisk-Users] SIP_CODEC, reinvites, and changing codecs

2005-06-03 Thread Michael George
I am wondering if the SIP protocol and its implementation in * allows for
changing codecs mid-connection.

I've seen some questions regarding this on the list, but I've not found any
clear answers.

I've also seen the SIP_CODEC variable, but it's not clear that it will change
the codec on an existing call.  Also, there are mentions of needing a reinvite
to make the change, but most of the sample sip.conf contexts I've used for
setting up our sip channels reccommend canreinvite=no.  Does that preclude
any change I might've had in changing codecs?

Basically, what I have is polycom phones with 729 licenses and access to the
VoIP provider which can do 729.  Native bridging will not consume licenses,
but accessing VM on either side will.  Same with MOH.

I have a license for each of the VoIP provider channels, so I'm not worried
about changing their codec because I want the compression there always.  They
can just have licenses...

I would like to have the polycoms connect initially with 729 which will
eventually natively bridge for internal channel-to-channels calls,
internal-to-trunk calls, and trunk-to-internal calls.  But when an internal
channel is accessing voicemail, I would like to change the codec in use from
729 to ulaw to release the license.  Since these are on an internal 'net the
bandwidth usage is not a big deal.

Is this possible with canreinvite=no in the sip.conf entry for the polycoms?
Can I achieve this with SetVar(SIP_CODEC, ulaw) in my dialplan before
sending the internal call to VoiceMailMain()?

Thank you.

[Asterisk-Users] iax went away

2005-06-02 Thread Michael George
I just had a situation where I could not get calls from or out to one of my
IAX2 boxes to another.

The one which seemed to have a problem didn't show the server in its iax2
show registry list.  I reloaded and the register showed up.

Looking at the server, when I called the number I got the message:

Jun  2 20:48:34 NOTICE[25542]: chan_iax2.c:2209 auto_congest: Auto-congesting
call due to slow response

Since I have qualify=yes, I suspected that slow response caused the server to
take the other host off-line.  However, things had been fine on the network
most of the day.

Just after the above message, I did an iax2 show peers and it listed that
host as 26ms away.  Not too bad...

I did a reload on the server and after that all seems normal.

So it appears that the server and client lost touch for a bit and apparently
gave up trying to reach the other.  I can see the server giving up if maybe
the IP address changed or something, but why didn't the client keep trying to
register?  Did I maybe dork a config setting somewhere that it isn't retrying?

Thanks!

 Hi,
 
 I'm trying to configure Sipura 2000 (behind NAT) which connects to 
 Asterisk (public IP, no NAT) and having interesting results. When Sipura 
 is behind Linux/NAT firewall it works great and no special NAT settings 
 on Sipura are necessary. The issue I'm having is when Sipura is behind 
 Linksys broadband NAT router. Sipura gets registered with Asterisk just 
 fine, but I can't hear the other party (to be more precise I can hear 
 first two secs then nothing). So it must be the incoming RTP is blocked 
 on Linksys. Here I think STUN server enters the game and give some help?
 
 I have installed Vovida STUN server and point Sipura to use it. But no 
 luck, I still can't hear the other party. I've ended up with having 
 Linksys to forward all ports to my Sipura (DMZ host) which works.
 
 What is interesting is that when I'm using Vonage service (Cisco ATA) it 
 works just fine without touching the Linksys. How come they can get 
 through it?
 
 Any hints?

Do you have the NAT Enable and NAT keepalive set to Yes on the Sipura?

 I'm having some trouble with Polycom Soundpoint phones.  I have had good 
 luck
 deploying them on a local network, but now I've tried putting some in 
 place
 which access their * server across the network.
 
 The * server is on a public IP and the polycoms are behind a NAT on a 
 cable
 modem broadband connection.
 
 Every so often I get:
 May 27 16:12:08 NOTICE[29728]: Peer 'Polycom1' is now UNREACHABLE!
 May 27 16:31:54 NOTICE[29728]: Peer 'Polycom1' is now REACHABLE!
 
 (Sometimes the first message says TOO LAGGED...)
 
 And as you can see these messages are quite a ways apart, not just a few
 seconds.
 
 I have read the archives and found some clues that decreased the frequency 
 of
 the problem, but have not eliminated it.  My configuration for the phones 
 in
 sip.conf is:
 
 defaultexpirey=3600 ; this is required by our VoIP provider rather than 
 120
 
 [Polycom_1]
 username=Polycom1

 nat=yes ; phone is behind a NAT
 qualify=yes ; I suspected this might help...

 In the sip.cfg file for the phone on it's FTP server, I have set:
 -server.1.address to the public address of the server
 -voIpProt.SIP.outboundProxy.address to the public address of the server
 -nat.ip is not set, as the description doesn't make it look like I want to
 mess with it...
 -there are other possible settings in that file that might be helpful, but
 the descriptions are a bit thin in the manual...
 
 I want to deploy more of these phones, but if they are ducking off the 
 server
 every so often, that makes them unreliable.
 
 Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?
 
 I think if I remove qualify=yes from sip.conf it will eliminate the 
 warnings
 in the log, but I think the phone will still be unreachable for that time
 period and the problem is just less evident...
 
 Thanks!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom phones, UNREACHABLE

2005-05-28 Thread Michael George
Actually, it looks like I'm getting this problem on all my phones.  When I was
testing my phones, most worked pretty well with an occasional complaint from
the Polycom.

I've moved them now to a different location and the ISP must have different
NAT translation going on that make it more difficult to penetrate the NAT.

Am I right in guessing that even with qualify=no the problem would still be
present (unreachable phones), but it wouldn't show up in the logs?

Thanks!

We've only dealt with them a couple time.  However, our first order consisted
of a Vegastream ATA which was just flakey and a Snom 190 that had the handset
quit working.

We contacted Snom about the 190 and after a few days they said, phone must be
broken, return to reseller.  We contacted voipsupply about that and they
said, You shouldn't contact Snom about a problem like that, you should call
us first.  Snom's turnaround will probably take a few days to resolve the
problem and we'd like to have you back up and running sooner than that.

They exchanged both units for us and their standard operating procesure is to
advance ship replacements.

So, in short, their customer support is EXCELLENT!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Recommended Linux Dist. for Asterisk

 I'm trying to find out what flavor of Linux people are choosing for their

 ones. It seems that RH is the common denominator in this rash of line
 noise problems. So some suggestions for what dist to use would be great.

We use gentoo.  Many people would not go that route, but we use that on our
servers because when we are ready to update it, we can do so with less pain
than with RHL/Fedora and SuSE, etc.  The updates of the latter usually go
okay, but there comes the time when we need to change major releases and that
should be done with a clean reinstall.

Now, with * you don't really need to do any changing as it will just sit there
and work for the most part.  However, since we have gentoo in many of our
systems, we just stick with that.

The ports in gentoo stay pretty current and it's worked fine for us.  YMMV,
and as I said above, gentoo is probably not the route for many who have little
linux experience.

[Asterisk-Users] * not send SIP Notify for IAX2 channel

2005-04-21 Thread Michael George
I am trying to get * to send a SIP notify to my SIP phone when an IAX2 channel
goes active.

* (1.0.5) is accepting the Subscribe and sending the notify just fine with the
SIP channels and Zap channels, but not this IAX2 channel.

I have this in my context as the hint:
exten = 200,hint,IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

and the channel use to dial that extension is:
IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (with no context or extension needed)

When I press the key that is loaded with that hint, the channel is dialed (and
then the light will stay lit, but that's not the result of the NOTIFY)
correctly.  If I dial the extension directly, the NOTIFY is not sent.

However, when another channel dials the IAX2 channel, the NOTIFY is only
sent for the other channel, not the IAX2 channel.

Is there some reason that * wouldn't send a NOTIFY for an IAX2 channel?

Thank you.

[Asterisk-Users] Snom NOTIFY on IAX2 channel

2005-04-19 Thread Michael George
I'm setting up the LED keys on a Snom 190 and it is working fine for my other
SIP clients.  However, one of the extensions is an IAX2 channel to another *
server.

It can be dialed like any other extension (x200) and it can dial into the
system.  However, * will not send a NOTIFY to my Snom when that extension goes
active.

Has anyone been able to do that?

 Yes, exactly. Zap/4/221 won't ring at all.
 
  If you have two extensions numbered 211  212, why are you using 206 and 
  221 in your Dial command?
 211  212 is plugged to asterisk, for dialing purpose.
 206  221 is the extension I want to dial to.
 
  I would try this:
  1. Make sure either extension will ring all by itself.
 Yes, they do ring all by itself.

Okay, so we know that either one will work by itself.

  2. Ring both at the same time, but put them in the other order in the 
  Dial() command and see if that makes a difference.
 I've tried this:
 exten = 3,1,Dial(Zap/3/206,10)
 exten = 3,2,Wait(2)
 exten = 3,3,Dial(Zap/4/221,10)
 exten = 3,4,Hangup
 
 Zap/3/206 won't hangup / timeout. It just keep ringing and won't stop. :)

What does the * log tell you?  Go to the CLI, set verbose 3 and see what
happens when you dial the above dialplan.

  3. Rather than having:
  channel = 3,4
  try
  channel = 3
  channel = 4
  just for fun.
 Tried this. No difference.

I'm not surprised, I didn't think it would do anything...

  4. I don't know much about that Panasonic PBX, but are you sure calling two
  lines at the exact same time isn't messing it up?
 Not sure.

If I were you, I would try testing without the panasonic PBX to make sure that
the FXOs and your zap settings are correct.

From the wiki:

chanspec[c][d][rcadence][/phonenumber]

phonenumber, if present, specifies which telephone number you wish to be
connected with. Note that this makes sense only when you are dialing a
telephone line (an FXO or PRI interface), not an internal extension. 
Within

the phone number, you may use the special modifier w to indicate a
half-second pause. You might want to use this to wait for a dialtone or 
for
a pause while dialing digits. You may also use the special modifier c to
allow for clear channel connections between PRI ports.

[Asterisk-Users] snom and hint priority

2005-04-08 Thread Michael George
Follwing the information from the wiki
(http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+phone+snom) and the mailing list, I
have been able to get my Snom 190 to monitor extension states accurately.

I have noticed a couple oddities, however, that I am hoping I can get
explanation on so that I can know more about * and SIP:

- It appears that I cannot use variables in the hint priority exten lines.
  So exten = 22,hint,Zap/2 will work fine, but (assuming Ext22 = Zap/2)
  exten = 22,hint,${Ext${EXTEN}} will not.  Why is that?

- It appears that the extension used with the hint must be the same as the
  extension used to dial that channel.  So if extension 22 will ring Zap/2,
  then exten = 22,hint,Zap/2 will work, but exten = 222,hint,Zap/2 will
  not.  Why is that?

- If I am correct in the above, then there is no way for me to monitor a
  channel that is not an extension.  As an example, I have a TDM400 with 3 FXS
  (Zap/1-3 on extensions 21-23) and 1 FXO (Zap/4) as well as a VoIP channel
  for dialing out.  I can monitor the states of the extensions with extension
  entries like exten = 21,hint,Zap/1 but I cannot monitor the state of the
  FXO with exten = 0,hint,Zap/4 because 0 is not the extension of Zap/4.
  Indeed, Zap/4 has no extension.  Is it not possible to monitor that line,
  then?

Thank you very much!

[Asterisk-Users] Cisco's description of echo

2005-03-26 Thread Michael George
We are having trouble with an installation that is getting a lot of echo on
some calls.  The installation is all SIP phones and they have a VoIP provider.

When we call through the voip provider and into another of their customers
(voip throughout) there is no echo problem.  If we call in their landline,
through the TDM400's FXO to one of the SIP phones, there is no echo problem.

Sometimes when we dial from SIP -- Voip provider -- PSTN -- destination it
is okay, but other times the echo is horrible.

In trying to figure this out, I found this article at Cisco's site:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk701/technologies_white_paper09186a00800d6b68.shtml#1041385

It claims that echo always comes from the far end of the connection.  So if I
hear echo, then the origin of the echo is in the equipment on the end of the
line near the person to whom I'm talking.

The description seems to make sense, but the zapata.conf setting for echo
cancellation seem to also help echo on the near end of the connection.

I have read about echo on the wiki and in the mailing list, but it almost
always discusses it with respect to the digium cards, not SIP alone.

Is the Cisco article accurate?  Thanks!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Digium support quality: Excellent

 I wanted to make sure that, in addition to my complaints, I make it very 
 clear:  Digium's support is excellent.  The jury is still out on the 
 usefulness of the TDM products.  However, Digium has worked very hard to 
 make sure that this issue is resolved.  I actually got an e-mail from 
 someone at Digium actually asking what they could do to make me happy! She 
 even gave me alternatives to hopefully correct my problem!  And she was 
 patient and friendly!  I nearly fell off my chair.
 
 If you have any doubts about buying Digium products, don't let lack of 
 support stop you.  They stand behind their products with both technical 
 support and customer service.  You can't really ask for more than that.

I agree that they are eager to correct any issues that we have with the cards.
The unfortunate thing is that the TDMs are so problematic.  I'm not sure if
it's due to inconsistencies in the hardware into which they are put or the
cards themselves or what.

I have not yet successfully put 2 TDM cards into a system (though I know
others have) and I recenly had a problem where loading the TDM driver and
starting * would cause the outgoing message to be played way too fast.

I was told to try changing PCI slots (I haven't had a chance to do that yet),
but since the TDM cannot share IRQs with anything else, changing slots might
just put it into a conflict situation.  This one could be sticky...

[Asterisk-Users] audio frequency with wcfxs and K8t

2005-03-21 Thread Michael George
Friday and Saturday I was wrestling with a VoIP system that was having very
strange problems.

It was playing the outgoing IVR audio at 2-5x faster than it should have been.
I found that if I stopped asterisk, removed the wcfxs driver and installed the
ztdummy driver, the audio would play fine.

I tested this in and out several times and it always worked fine with ztdummy
and never worked right with wcfxs.

I cannot find any references on the 'net about such a problem.  Anyone else
run into this?

Details:
Asterisk 1.0.6
MSI K8T Master2 motherboard
Single AMD Opteron installed on the motherboard (other socket empty)
TDM card with a single FXO installed on it

The system is working fine now (SIP in and out), but I want to put a PSTN line
into the FXO port as a land-line fallback.

I also figured the TDM card could be the timing device for meetme and such,
but I think ztdummy will do just as well there.

Anyone else run into this?

Thanks!

  There is code for generating the tones when you have a physical line,

  also provide a normal dialtone. Should I just record one and use

 I have a similar problem in as much as I want to provide a Facility
 dialtone to a zap channel under certain situations (call forward active)
 in the same way a Stutter dialtone is sent to a zap phone when there
 is a message waiting.
 
 Providing dialtone to SIP phones is probably not possible - I guess it
 is very phone dependent.

[Asterisk-Users] cvs stable and 1.0.5

2005-03-02 Thread Michael George
I see that 1.0.5 is out.  I thought that if I am tracking cvs v1.0.x I would
always get the newest releases.  However, I just did a fresh update and
install from cvs stable and it reports as only being v1.0.3.

Should I just be using the tarballs rather than the cvs -r 1_0?  Or maybe my
initial cvs was incorrect?

Thanks!

Oh, you are probably right.  It is 1-0-03/01/05, so that's 1.0 as of 3/1/5,
not 1.0.3.

So it appears, then, that the cvs will only display 1.0 and the .x part is
only relevant for the releases.

I also noticed that it's not recommended that one use the CVS version (even of
stable) if not watching the asterisk-cvs list.  Maybe, then, it would be best
for me to revert to using the releases.

What is the opinion of the list?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] make of asterisk doesn't do anything...

2005-03-01 Thread Michael George
I got this figured out.  Turns out that the make would call mpg123 with a
'version option to see if it was compatible with *.  However, I've been
faking out mpg123 with my own script to send raw audio to the device rather
than mp3.  As a result, my infinite cat was being spewed out and the results
were not what make had expected.

Once I rectified that situation, all went just fine.

 Someone may know a simple fix. If not, can you please install the

 strace -f -o /tmp/strace.out make
 
 This will run make, and log any system calls it makes to 
 /tmp/strace.out. When it hangs, take a look in that file. It may have 
 stopped on one system call, such as select() or poll(), or it may be 
 scrolling endlessly, repeating the same system calls over and over

 latter. Either way, please paste the last 20 or lines into an email, and

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Snom programmable leds / keys usage for pickup groups?

 We use this on our existing PBX if for example the accounting dept. is out 
 for lunch but nobody can hear their phones. This way you can see an 
 incoming call (and we hate voicemail) :)

I'm also curious about how configurable the Snom's buttons are.  Can they be
assigned, say SIP/1, SIP/2, SIP/3, etc and light up when that channel is in
use?

[Asterisk-Users] kphone and *

2005-02-07 Thread Michael George
I'm having trouble with kphone on our system.

It's using ulaw on an internal network.  No NAT.

I had it working fine with very similar hardware (an old Dell Optiplex GX1)
running as an LTSP terminal.

But then I put the same sound card in an Optiplex G1.  Kphone will answer the
line fine when I call it (call coming from the * machine), but when we try to
get kphone to dial, each GUI button-press takes like 1min to respond.

When calling kphone, dtms tones send fine, but hangup and hold will take 
1min.

In teh * log, I get lots of chan_sip maximum retries errors.  But even with
them, eventually kphone will do what it's supposed to do.

I read in the archives that changing bindaddr from 0.0.0.0 in sip.conf to the
* server's IP address might help.  However, that seemed to be more for NAT
* problems not internal problems.  Kphone isn't traversing a NAT to get to *.
So I doubt that's the problem.

Anyone have any suggestions what I could look into?

It's kphone 4.0.5 and * 1.0.2...

Thanks.

 For those of us that have had probems with the tdm dropping, it seems

I found that I need to unload and reload the wcfxs module from the kernel and
re-run ztcfg.  Perhaps the former is no necessary, but it's in my script now.

 There was an issue with the first tdm cards shipped (ver e/f) where the
 first module slot had a problem. Those that received replacement cards
 found an added jumper wire on them suggesting a printed circuit board
 trace had been missed (or something like that).

I have been having trouble with E/Fs (the H seems to be more stable), but it's
not just with the first module.  In my case it is the second one.  And I
initially had trouble because the FXO was on socket 1.  Digium had me move it
to socket 4 and that helped some.  But only for a time.

 Do know if this will help you, but the T1 card seems to be delicate with
 power.

I've been having similar trouble with one of my units.  I put a UPS on the

Incidentally, when a module dies and holds the circuit open, I can top
asterisk, unload the kernel modules, reload them, run ztcfg, and restart * w/o
restarting the system.  However, it does require * to stop and that is
annoying.

I moved my problematic phone to a different fxs module and all seems fine.  We
have a similar problem with a TDM/FXS module in a different location.

I've written digium support, but they are kinda slow in responding.

 Hmm, while this doesn't solve my problem it does point me in the right

That would be great if they change it!  However, in the meantime you can
enable transferring in * (add T to the Dial() options) and use that, no?

 Hi,
 
 I'm seeing something I'd like suggestions on:
 
 I have a queue with agents that log in using agentcallbacklogin. The
 extension that is logged in with is a Local channel. Now, if a call
 comes in to the queue and is handled by an agent (in our case using
 Cisco 7960 SIP phones) and transferred (attended) to another extension,
 the agent remains unavailable during the remains of the call. Using show
 agents gives this:

 Zap/20-1 (musiconhold is 'default')
 
 As you can see, the Agent is shown with the transferred call, and is
 unavailable for new calls. However, the phone _is_ on hook and free.
 
 I am using a 1.0.2. version (bri-stuff rc2b)
 
 Any suggestions are welcome.

How are you transferring the call?  With channel facilities (e.g. hook flash)

[Asterisk-Users] queuing questions

2005-01-03 Thread Michael George
I'm working with * and queuing and while things are mostly-working, they don't
work quite as well as the docs on the wiki indicate they should.  Things like
leavewhenempty, the h option to queue, stuff like that.

I search the archives and it seems that very few of the queuing questions are
answered on the list.

I'm curious why that is.  I figure there are X possibilities:
1. The info is on the 'net somewhere and we aren't looking at those places.
2. Queuing is not often used so not many people have experience with it.
3. The people who are using it and have it going are too busy to read the list
regularly and therefore the information doesn't make it's way back here.
4. Getting queuing working is a litmus test for a True * professional and
those who have it working are protecting the secrets.

If the answer is 1, I'd love to know where to look because I want queuing
working correctly and I'm just beating my head between the docs and reality
and getting nowhere...

Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] verbose setting changed?

2004-12-30 Thread Michael George
Up until last night, I could run:
asterisk -vvvr
as root to connect to a running * session and have the verbosity set to 3.

Last night, however, I updated to CVS-v1-0-12/29/04-16:47:20 and the behavior
is different.  Now the -v flags don't seem to make a difference, I have to
issue:
set verbose 3
to change verbosity.

Is that a planned change?

One nice thing is that I only have to issue that one time on a running
session is seems and the verbosity is remembered.  However, my nightly
asterisk -rx restart gracefully
resets the verbosity back to 0.

Is there a settings file that I can set verbosity in?

Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] queueing question

2004-12-29 Thread Michael George
I'm trying to set up queueing on my system and for the most part it works
fine.  

However, I'm trying to give the user the ability to break out of the queue.
Putting the H option into queue() doesn't seem to work.  That seems to hang
up from the extension that was being dialed and then after the delay start
ringing them again.

Looking at the mailing list archives, others seem to have had the same
problem.  One solution is to use the context option in queues.conf to
indicate a context for the user to have entries checked against.

I created [quotcon] in extensions.conf, but with an extension in there of '*',
I have to enter the * 2x before it will interpret it against the context.  And
this time I do not have H in the Queue() call, but the first * will give me
the Hangup... message in the verbose output, just as happened when I had the
H option and no [qoutcon].  The second * will actually be interpreted against
[qoutcon].

In short, the only time the * is interpreted against the context is when the
phone (only 1 while testing) is hungup.

I am using the same technique as a posting to the list in 11/2004 indicated
works for him, so I suspect I have some setting wrong, but I cannot find one

Thanks for any help anyone may have!

 I just started getting this on my system.  I've been running it over a month
 in this system with few problem like this and now they are happening
 regularly...
 
 Is there a list of possible remedies for it yet?  Anyone heard from Digium
 about the problem?

One suggestion I got from digium was to load the wcfxs module with the
lowpower=1 option:

modprobe wcfxs lowpower=1

I'll try it and see if it helps.

[Asterisk-Users] send # with transfer enabled

2004-12-16 Thread Michael George
Every so often we need to send the # dtmf tones but * interprets that as the
initiation of a transfer.

The best solution I've found so far is outlined at:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2004-March/039501.html

This disabled transfer for a call.  I take this to mean that there is no way
to send dtmf for # with transfer enabled?

Thanks!

 I'm going for four.

As others have said, you need to make sure you aren't sharing IRQs with the
Digium cards.  One way to easily avoid it is to go with the PowerPC
architecture, as many have suggested.

I have also noticed that multi-processor motherboards have a boat-load of IRQ
lines, also.  If you want to stick with the intel architecture, you can go
that route, too.

Should I expect to eliminate it?  Could a cordless phone on the zap channel

 I wouldn't really call that a bug, especially since I've seen cautions
 in several places against including spaces.  It's just the way it is,
 one wouldn't include spaces in a CSV file, nor inbetween comma
 seperated values in the GECOS field in /etc/passwd, so why between
 arguments in the dial plan.  No fault of Michael George of course, he
 didn't know that was the case before but now he does... I just
 wouldn't call it a bug.

I agree, not necessarily a bug.  It would be nice if the spaces could be
there, but that's just how it is.  Now I know and hopefully others will pick
it up even more easily in teh archives.

[Asterisk-Users] DISA() context restrictions

2004-11-09 Thread Michael George
I'm working on using DISA() to allow us to call into our * box from the
outside and grab an internal line to dial out on.  Pretty standard stuff.

I've got the 1.0.x CVS version of * built and when I specify a context to the
call, the first DTMF sent will cause * to hang up the line.

I suspect there might be restrictions on contexts which DISA() can examine,
but I cannot find anything in the wiki or archives to suggest that.

I have been able to utilize the default DISA() context, but that doesn't leave
it free for the other uses of DISA() I have in mind.

The only difference to my extensions.conf file is that if I have:
exten = s,2,DISA(no-password, disa)

then the next button press will hang up the line.  If I have:
exten = s,2,DISA(no-password)

then the next button-press in resolved in the disa context.  I would expect,
though, that both would act the same way.  I have tried with and w/o a
passcode, but the results are the same.

I've also checked show application disa to see if perhaps semantics have
changed but the docs had not, but there seems to be no change from the info
on the wiki.

Looking at the logs, on a failed call I see:

Re: [Asterisk-Users] disa hangs up on me

2004-11-01 Thread Michael George
I've been playing with this a bit.  I've found that if I give a context to
DISA(), the next DTMF I send it will cause the line to hang up.

However, if I let it default to the [disa] context, it will sometimes process
tone and extension correctly.  Even if I specify the disa context, the same
one it would default to, the next tone will cause a hangup.

So I tried renaming my [internal] conext [disa] as a test, but that also
failed.  This indicates that either: 1. DISA() cannot handle jumping to a
context that is defined after the call to DISA() (unlikely), or 2. there is
some characteristic of my [internal] context that is causing problems.

I will continue to work on it and report back to the list.  If nothing else,
what I learn will be in the archives.

Thank you.

 The digit I entered was 7.  If I take DISA out of the loop I get no dialtone,

 Has the operation of DISA() changed, or maybe something else in * since the

  I have the same thing set up in the office, but that one doesn't work right.
  I've only been able to test it with my Grandstream so far and dialing in via

  from the IAX connection and something similar on SIP.
  
  The main difference between the two is that the home (working) system is
  running CVS-HEAD-09/21/04 and the work system (not working) is running
  CVS-v1-0-10/28/04 (the latest, I beleive).
  
  Is there something changed in DISA that it won't work for me to loop back to
  my internal context and give a dialtone?
