[Asterisk-Users] Sip One way audio

2006-02-09 Thread Paul Oster
I've got a telecommuter working out of her home office, using a Snom 200 phone, what happens is occassionally her phone will loose audio one way.She will be talking on a call that was incoming to her extension, and all of a sudden the caller can not hear her any longer, she can here the caller fine, this has happened with both Sip-Sip calls, and calls that have come in over our PSTN circuits. The really odd thing is while troubleshooting with her yesterday I was using the one way audio to talk to her and do some packet captures, and she was using an instant message client to communicate back to me, but after being in the call for a while (didn't note exact times) the audio came back.
At first I thought this was a nat issue, and she is using Bellsouth DSL, so I had her change the dsl modem so it shares its IP address with the phone. Restarting the phone results in the phone getting the public IP address assigned via DHCP. This did not solve the issue. I've experimented with the nat settings, and the canreinvite settings but haven't had much sucess so far. I have suspicions that the cut-outs might be occuring either after the phone has been registered for a certain amount of time (possibly 1 hour) or when she has been talking for a certain amount of time (possibly 5 minutes), I'm not certain of that behavior so it may be a red herring further use of the phone will allow me to firm up if either of those statements is true.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Thank YouPaul M. OsterHere are the relevant portions of my sip.conf file...[general]port = 5060 ; Port to bind to

[Asterisk-Users] Automon Question

I've got automon up and recording calls on demand from information I
found in the list archives, however instead of ending up with one
monolithic file, I've got a -in and -out version of the files in my
monitor directory?

Anyone have suggestions how I could end up with a monolithic file that
does what I want?

Doh, I should have kept trying for about 10 minutes longer before I
sent that email, the trick is to ensure you have sox (and possibly
soxmix) installed on the Asterisk box. figured I'd answer my own
question should someone else need the answer or possibly just for the
next guy searching the archives!

[Asterisk-Users] Passing additional information to an AGI via a call file

2005-02-28 Thread Paul Oster
I have a desire to incorporate asterisk into some of my network
monitoring.  I would like to use the outgoing calling features to
connect a phone (on-call cell phones) to an agi script which can
provide some information to the called party.

Ultimately I would like to pass 2 pieces of information to the agi,
first an integer that is representative of a problem, and second a
unix timestamp of the time the problem occurecd, so that my AGI could
string together the phrases

Error 17 Occured on Monday Feb 28 2005 at 10:59 a.m.

The actual agi is pretty much done I just need to figure out how to
pass the two new pieces of information to it from the .call file.

Any suggestions, or resrources I should be reading?

[Asterisk-Users] Local Outbound Calls on PRI

2004-09-24 Thread Paul Oster
I'm in the process of turning up a PRI in one of my markets and have
run into a problem I have never seen before.  I am unable to place a
local outgoing call.  Long Distance over the same PRI works fine.

When I attempt to place a local call using the PRI I see Asterisk
attempt to dial, and am greeted with a busy signal.  This signal
appears to originate on the telco's switch.

I have had a central office tech from the CLEC insert a monitor in the
distribution point on the switch and observe call flow.  According to
the tech call flow appears proper, and he was able to tell me the
number I was calling from and the number I attempted to dial.

He then placed a PRI test-set at the distribution point in the switch
and successfully made and terminated a variety of calls from that
point.

He then took the PRI test set out to my physical location and did the
same test, made and received local and long distance calls on one of
my trunks.

After thinking about this last night I decided to re-update my
Asterisk installation to the latest bleeding edge CVS version and
re-test from my test extension with the exact same results.  I
successfully make long distance calls, successfully receive any calls,
but the local calls originated from the SIP phone (SNOM200 and
Mediatrix2102) fail with a busy signal that seems to originate from
the CLEC's switch.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Paul

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Local Outbound Calls on PRI

2004-09-24 Thread Paul Oster
Just tried it with 7,10, and 11 digit dialing, and got the expected
error from the switch, the number you have dialed is not a long
distance number, there is no need to dial the digit one before the
number...

Good suggestion, but that doesn't appear to be the problem.

 Any chance you're sending more or fewer digits than the CLEC expects
 to see from you?
 
 I would expect that the tech would have picked up on it when he was
 watching your call attempts but just in case...

[Asterisk-Users] Desired Install in MotorHome

2004-07-28 Thread Paul Oster
I've got a client who would love to be able to leave an asterisk
server running sompelace, and achieve telephone connectivity using an
IP phone from within his Motorhome in his words I want to be able to
work from a mountaintop in Glacier National Park

I've done some initial testing, and a SNOM200 SIP phone comes close
enough to working that I have not ruled out the idea as completely
un-workable.

I understand that this is an extreamly hostile environment, the
satelite uplink itself introduces too much latency for a standard
configuration to work (1500ms) which is most likely where the problems
come from.

What I'm wondering is if anyone has ever succeded in making a setup
like this work. Different protocol (H.323 MCGP etc) or different
codecs?

Our testing in his driveway revealed the following.

1.  Incoming calls achieve a ring almost immediately, when answered
there is 1 to 2 seconds delay in the conversation (like a really poor
trans-atlantic call)
2.  Outgoing calls fail... the phone returns Proxy Authentication
Required however a few seconds later when the handset is picked up
the inbound leg of the RTP stream is preseant on the phone.  Outgoing
audio is non-existant
3.  Attempts to disconnect from that audio stream fail, the * server
is simply not seeing the hangup from the phone.

So whats everyones opinion, worth exploring further, or am I wasting
my time trying?

Thanks in advance.

 Can you stick an Asterisk box at his end so you can speak IAX over the
 link? It may not help with the massive delays (which is going to be
 inherent in any kind of VoIP over the link) but the signalling should
 be a lot more reliable.

[Asterisk-Users] Snom 200 MWI Button

2004-02-07 Thread Paul Oster



I'm trying to get the MWI button to work with my 
Asterisk configuration. The snom is accepting and responding to the 
Message indications from *, but when I press the MWI button, it is dialing my 
extension (the one with the voice mail on it).

I'm wondering if there is a way to specify what 
extension to dial to check email in the configuration, either the phone, or * 
itself.

Asterisk Version 1/30/2003 checked out and compiled 
this evening
Snom Version 2.03o (most recent 
auto-update)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. At one 
point Mark had talked about adding a voicemail= directive in sip.conf on the 
mailing list at one point, however grepping the code doesn't reveal a feature 
like that at this time.

Anyone have success in getting the MWI button to 
work on Snoms? If so I would LOVE to hear from you.

[Asterisk-Users] Dial / Ring multiple sip channels

2003-12-11 Thread Paul Oster
I know I can dial multiple channels in sequence

exten = 101,1,Dial(SIP/101,10)
exten = 101,2,Dial(SIP/102,10)
extne = 101,3,Dial(Zap/1/5551212)
What the boss would really like is to be able to ring 2 lines 
simultaneously.

exten = 101,Dial(Sip/101,10)  Dial(Sip/102,10)

so that both extensions ring at the same time... mostly so that he can 
have the remote phone at his house ring at the same time as his office 
phone is someone dials his extension or direct line. 

Is this possible with *, and what would the dialplan look like?  I've 
been googling for about 30 minutes now and haven't seen an example config
in the list.

Would setting up a queue for the extension I want to multi-ring, and 
having the 2 phones be permanent members be a better soloution?

[Asterisk-Users] Channelbank Recomendation and GS102 question

2003-12-04 Thread Paul Oster
Hi All.

I'm working on an * configuration.  We require 8 inbound POTS lines, and 
CT1 or PRI seems like it will be
quite expensive at that level.  I've read that a T1 Channelbank plus 
the  T100P would be a (the?) way to go
for this situation.  What is the recommended channelbank for use in this 
scenario?  From searching the archives
I see a lot of suggestions to get a channelbank from ebay.  I would 
prefer to be able to use new products
so I can easily duplicate the setup for other branch offices in my company.

My second question relatees to the Grandstream phones.  When they are a 
member of a queue group, I get a loud
annoying ring in the handset when its in use and another call comes in 
on the queue.

Is there a way to enforce 1 call per phone in sip.conf?  Either that or 
a way to tell the GS102 to return busy when
* trys to send them a call.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Does Asterisk overwrite any libraries?

2003-12-03 Thread Paul Oster
Looks like your box has been compromised.  Try

ls -l `which ps`

You'll probably find an inapropriate date.  Whenever I've diagnosed 
problems like this, I've found badly installed rootkits.

To address this on my production machines, I'm going to insruct the 
router to only allow traffic that is coming from trusted locations
to connect to the box anyplace.

I really hope I'm wrong about this Costas, but you should probably start 
verifying your binaries.

If your machine has been compromised, a clean install, and patch with 
all the updated RPMS is a recommended soloution.
