Hello all,

Just to update,

Instruction's can be found at www.omniis.com/asttapi, including where to
download it from. This is update 0.02, this now includes a little
feedback from Asterisk so that when click to dial has occurred then it

Now working on inbound calls.

Any question, please send to me.

[Asterisk-Users] reboots

2004-04-20 Thread Nick Knight








Hello all,



Just looking for some opinions. What is the expected uptime
for asterisk  assuming the box has all the resources it needs. I ask
this because I have only to date seen max 9 days which appears very low. This
is a system only running Asterisk. It has 1.5GB RAM with  2GHz processor,
there are 8 users  although not always simultaneously  it is a
fairly well used system.



With a traditional phone system you would expect to power it
up and just leave it, so what about Asterisk  con job for a reboot?



Regards

The kernel is 2.4.22
It is a gentoo box, although it had a vanilla kernel installed, CAPI was
patched into the kernel for using CAPI drivers. 

It uses Asterisk version 1 from CVS, running SIP clients for the phones
and CAPI across an eicon diva card (4bri).

it uses kapjods rtc plugin, and runs MOH. It queues calls and runs some
mailboxes.

We have 7 users in the office, there is a good chance there is 3 calls
on the go at any one time.

Let me know if you need any other information

I am going to go to kapejods 4 bri card with kernel 2.6 - but I am
unsure wether this will follow me!

Months.  You should only have to reboot for kernel updates and
restart * when updating it or (some parts of) its configuration.

Something is definitely wrong with that box.  To diagnose
will require at least details on processor, kernel version,
distribution, asterisk version, and hardware installed.

[Asterisk-Users] TAPI driver

2004-04-13 Thread Nick Knight
Hello all,

 

Just a quick note, I have been putting together a TAPI driver for
Asterisk, this enables the user to perform things like click to dial
from any TAPI enabled app (such as outlook or ACT etc). At the moment it
is very basic and can only perform click to dial but further
functionality will be coming. It uses the Asterisk manager to place
calls.

 

Please feel free to use it - not much documentation as yet but will be
coming, can be found on sourceforge project name asttapi.

I would like to set-up some direct lines so that when a user

Is there a way of setting the sound level at which * starts

[Asterisk-Users] agents and call queueing

2004-01-13 Thread Nick Knight








Hello,



I have been playing around with call queuing  very cool.
So at the same time I also tried to implement the agent via the agent call back
routine. 



This is causing problems, in the queue.conf if I have a
member as 



Member = Sip/nick



It works



But if I set up an agent, login using AgentCallBackLogin,
the login works, and when a call is entered into the queue then the phone rings
but as soon as the sip phone picks up the call then the call is dropped and the
call is returned to the queue (whilst listening to on hold music!).



Help

[Asterisk-Users] asterisk sip with voicemail

2004-01-09 Thread Nick Knight








Hello all,



I have setup my sip.conf so users can register etc in the
following format,



[person]

type=friend

username=nick

secret=

host=dynamic

mailbox=101



in my voicemail.conf I have an entry like

101 = 1234,Nick Knight,[EMAIL PROTECTED]



Leaving a voicemail works fine after I have my dial command
time out but on sip clients which display whether voicemail is waiting or not,
it always displays No Voicemail (pingtel expressa).



It emails them fine and I can call into the voicemail app
which says I have new voicemail  but I would like to resolve the sip
client issue.



Thanks

[Asterisk-Users] call files

2003-12-22 Thread Nick Knight








I am after using a web crm system which has a button to then
get asterisk to dial the contact. For this I was looking at call files, which
appear good for the job, I have one small problem with them though.



1/ file is created

2/ external number is called

3/ the external party answers

4/ the external party now hears ringing as you extension is
now being called  bad!



What I would like to get round this is probably the reverse 
I dont want the people I am calling to hear ringing. For example as soon
as it has dialled the receiving end call me, or call me first then call the
other extension?



It is probably something very simple I am missing!

Then the sip call is dropped (by asterisk) then nothing!

[Asterisk-Users] chan_capi

2003-11-06 Thread Nick Knight
Hello All,

 

I have been using chan_capi with eicon diva server 4 Bri for a few
months now and been very happy with the results. I have now got a small
problem. I needed to upgrade - get more lines in - during an office
move. So we moved office and landed with 3 ISDN2e lines.

 

I can place calls perfectly. Problem is Asterisk is only receiving calls
on 1 channel - so effectively I am only getting 1 out of 3 calls (BT ran
some protocol tests on the line). The ISDN lines are setup to all share
the same number.

 

I have adjusted capi.conf from

2/ How many calls each employee answers

3/ Who they are speaking with

4/ Are we receiving more or are we making more etc

[Asterisk-Users] asterisk and pingtel

2003-10-31 Thread Nick Knight
Hello All,

 

I have pingtel and asterisk working really well. I have a really
annoying little problem - mainly with pingtel. When a call comes in
pingtel displays the caller ID on the phone. If I miss it then I click
on the number for redial - this doesn't include a 9 to dial an outside
line. The second problem is with the dialer from outlook again it
bypasses the outlook dialing rules so doesn't include a 9 for an outside
line.

 

Does anyone have experience of these problems and imaginative ways round
(or even fixes!)

[Asterisk-Users] pingtel phones

2003-09-23 Thread Nick Knight
Hello all,

 

 Hope I am not too of topic here - but it cross's the phone/asterisk
boundary. I have been playing with a few soft phones - noticed that
pingtel seemed to be highly recommended across previous postings. I have
been using xten - which is a great phone but seems a bit limited in its
functionality - which is why I am now looking at pingtel. 

 

Problem is I cannot get it to register properly against asterisk - I am
know at a bit of a loss - can someone point me/let me have a simple
howto to get asterisk working with pingtel softphone. BTW they work in
an unregistered mode - but obviously need the registering part so
asterisk can place a call back to the softphone.

Hello all,

 

I am a newbie to this list - and so far very impressed with the
functionality of Asterisk. So far I have setup a simple soft phone
running on a windows PC making calls to other SIP soft phones. 

 

Later this week I hope to get UK ISDN2e up and running with it!

 

My question is I would like the experience and feedback from users about
what equipment/software you are all using for phones to connect to
Asterisk, so fat I have been playing with xten soft phone which works
very well but before I make my decision on which phones to use would
like the feedback of the group.
