[asterisk-users] SIP client on a mobile?

Yup.

  For my situation, DISA is pointless except for road warriors who
  call all over the world, from anywhere, they can call into the corp
  system, get dialtone and skip the whole process of expense reports
  for work
  related calls.  It makes things less complex, not more.

 Using DISA also means getting a corp caller id, not a mobile.
 
 Yes, spoofing provides that.
 

  Maybe if you explain your situation and how your plan works, but
  for me, personally, DISA would be a an added cost and complication.
 
  The only purpose I can think of for myself could be accomplished by

 How is that done from a mobile?  Sofar that has been my main reason
 for using DISA - cost is not a real issue.
 
 SIP client.  Spoof card, yes it is DISA, but you don't have to do
 anything but use the card.

Steve, even if I could get SIP clients for our phones, doesn't this mean
using a data connection rather than just voice?  That would make it a
lot pricier than the current setup with DISA (which is largely free).

 VoIP mostly aside, a couple more thoughts.
 
 I am not sure I understand your reasoning for DISA or how it is
 cheaper. 

The only reason we use DISA is to spoof the caller id.  The OP also
wanted to save costs, which is also possible (as someone already
confirmed).  DISA does save some cost for me too, but it is immaterial.

The call from the mobile to the asterisk box is free or flat fee due to
calling groups offered by our provider.  The outgoing call is charged
at regular fixnet prices, much cheaper than mobile ditto. 

 You can buy a card that accepts SIMs as FXO and FXS. 
 For your reasoning, a card of such nature is required.  Populate  it
 with different SIMs or whatever that are in calling groups or whatever
 you were trying to say.

You've lost me, I have no idea what you're talking about. 
 
 Just use callback back and some logic to reduce your costs.
 Call back will allow you to use the corp identity, and  LCR will cut
 costs over DISA.
 
 The system calls you back after you make a call.  Then the call is
 placed. There is a very brief outbound cell phone call, followed by a
 an inbound call from the server that you initiated with call back.

OK, I see.  I haven't looked at that, but it sounds more complicated
than using DISA, and I'm not convinced it would be any cheaper.  (it's
important that the scheme be easy to use from the mobile end).

 Inbound to a cell is generally less expensive that oubound on a cell,
 sometimes completely free.

Yes, inbound to a mobile is free as long as you're not roaming. However,
with our calling group setup, it doesn't matter who (fix or mobile)
originates the call, the cost is the same.

 A Wifi connection?  I guess that wifi is not like it is here.  I can
 get on highspeed wifi anywhere I go in the DC Metro area for free. 

In the cities, WiFi is typically only available in restaurants and cafes
(Starbucks, McDonalds etc).  In the country, no wifi.  Well, the odd
open access point, but using it is illegal, so that's a no-go.

 I would suspect that most road warriors have high speed data needs? 
 Not sure what business you are in, but having fast internet
 (relatively speaking) is a must to do work.  I am not saying to use
 the data supplied from phone, if that is what you are thinking.

For my company, the mobile is primarily for voice - people don't spend
that much time on the road, but when they do, they still want to appear
as if they're in the office. 

 If your phones don't have SIP, then use callback.  You call your
 company, go through whatever you seutp in the dialplan, and the phone
 system calls you back as well as calling the other party.
 
 You edited out much of the context of the conversation to support your
 side.  I don't play games like that...

Sorry, that wasn't my intention, I just snip out the bits that aren't
relevant to a reply. 

 SIP client on the phone was an option.  Was the original question
 about using DISA to save money?  Yes it was.  Now you are stating that
 it is largely free.

I think the OPs question was about saving money, to which I suggested
using DISA - it my setup it's largely free. 

 Callback is a great solution when outbound cell phone calls quite a
 bit more than your cutrate VoIP provider.  As I said, many countries
 do not charge for inbound calls.

Right.

 I am still clueless what your point is/was but if it is almost free
 then, stick with it.  Still clueless why you posted if it almost free.

I did not post the original question, I just responded to it.

 Just curious how DISA would help with cell phone usage charges. 

Assuming multiple mobiles (e.g. household or office), a typical setup
around here (Switzerland) is that you can call freely within a group of
numbers, often including one or two fixnet numbers. 

 But at least here, if you are on a per minute plan, how would DISA

Where is here? 

 help? Obviously, different countries and carriers do things
 differently, but I don't pay for anything extra, no roaming, nothing.

Did you mean to say you don't pay for roaming either??  Wow.  I could do
with a subscription like that.  (here roaming means using your phone in
another country).

 For my situation, DISA is pointless except for road warriors who call
 all over the world, from anywhere, they can call into the corp system,

I guess theoretically roaming is using a GSM network other than
your home network, but in Europe that = roaming internationally,
which is typically very pricey.

[asterisk-users] being bombarded with SIP packets

2010-10-28 Thread Per Jessen
Over the last two weeks, we have had at least two incidents where our
asterisk server got flooded (a hundred or more per second) by SIP
packets.  Once from 114.31.50.10, second time from 173.212.200.146.  We
became aware of the problem when bandwidth started suffering because
asterisk got very busy sending back replies or rejects (dunno which, I
didn't investigate it any further). 
The immediate issues were dealt with by having the firewall drop those
packets, but I was wondering:

1) if anyone has seen the same problem, and
2) if you've got some iptables rules for limiting inbound SIP by rate?
(or some such).

 Hello Per,
 
 (iptables) rule #1: search the archives 
 You will find nearly as many postings about that problem, as your
 server SIP packets received ... ;-)

Thanks Norbert - I should take my own medicine, I'm usually the first to
suggest searching the archives.

 Was it legitimate requests or a brute force attack? If it was a brute
 force attack have you considered using fail2ban?

It appears to be brute force, but I haven't bothered to investigate any
further.  fail2ban is at best a kludge IMHO, and I don't like anything
(automatically or otherwise) modifying my firewall.  Like Nortbert
suggested, I'll check the archives to see what others have done.

Not at all. 

 As you say, you don't like anything to modify your firewal. My
 words! 
 
 Someone (don't remember who  when) on this list showed me a very
 clever trick (=iptables rule) to drop the packets if too many of them
 arrive within a given period of time. Works really great !

Yeah, I have a rule like that for SSH brute force attempts, and I 
did also find one for the same thing for SIP. 

 Do not exatly remember how it was done (and I don't have access to
 that machine at the moment to have a look).
 I remeber something like
 first using iptables module string to inspect the packet if it
 contains the string REGISTER sip:
 and then use an iptables hash bucket with a limit of x/second

This is what I found:

iptables -N sip-flood
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 5060 -j sip-flood
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 5060:5061 --syn -j sip-flood
iptables -A sip-flood -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 20 -j LOG 
--log-prefix SIP bruteforce attempt: 
iptables -A sip-flood -m recent --rcheck --seconds 60 --hitcount 20 -j DROP
iptables -A sip-flood -m recent --set -j ACCEPT

 This is easy to do by using email to SMS gateways.  A list of them is
 on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways).  For
 the Asterisk side, you have an extension that sends the email.  I
 personally use an AGI script for this part, but you could use a
 System() call as well.

Many telcos provide an SMSC, often also accessible over a landline.  We
use the Swisscom SMSC at 062210.  (Swisscom subscription required).

 You need to load the chan_local.so channel before pbx_config.so loads,
 so that your Local channels have the right devicestate. 
 Adding 'preload = chan_local.so', followed by 'preload =
pbx_config.so', to
 your /etc/asterisk/modules.conf should be sufficient.

 All modules are loaded at startup. Why would you need a reload?

 Can you explain me how i have to do that? Do you have any howto to
 make the card work in nt ptp mode?
 thanks for answer
 
 Short answert:   signalling = bri_net
 
 Longer answer:
 
 That page is outdated (hmm, and I didn't get to update it :-(   )
 
 Nowadays (as of Asterisk 1.6.0) BRI support is included in Asterisk.
 The zaphfc driver, though, is still not included in DAHDI. It's
 maintained, though. The version included in the Debian packages is
 taken from http://git.tzafrir.org.il/?p=dahdi-extra.git;a=summary .
 
 Either way (bristuff or Asterisk = 1.6.0) to use BRI PTP NT in
 chan_dahdi you should set:
 
   signalling = bri_net
 
 for the span's channels in /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf .

None of the above looks very familiar - I'm using Asterisk 1.4.x +
misdn, one HFC-4S for the external lines and one plain (Conrad) HFS-PCI
in NT mode for an ISDN DECT base-station.

[asterisk-users] Running a script after Dial() ?

2010-02-04 Thread Per Jessen
I have the following dialplan:

; calls prefix by '8' are recorded
exten = _8[01]./_251,1,Set(something=shortened)
exten = _8[01]./_251,n,Set(WAV=filename)
exten = _8[01]./_251,n,Monitor(wav,${WAV},mb)
exten = _8[01]./_251,n,Dial(mISDN/2/${EXTEN:1},,g)
exten = _8[01]./_251,n,System(send-recorded-conversation ${WAV}.wav
${EXTEN:1} emailaddr)
exten = _8[01]./_251,n,Hangup()

The idea is that the caller may opt to record a conversation by
prefixing the dialled number with '8'. The wav file would then be
emailed to him when the call finishes. 
The recording works fine, but the emailing doesn't - only when the
called party hangs up first, but if the caller hangs up, the
System(script) isn't called.  What am I missing here?

 Check out the h exten.

Yes, I did look at that.  The issue is that the above has a hardcoded
extension-to-emailaddr relation (251-emailaddr). I don't see how I can
use the h extension when the email-address will depend on the callers
extension.  Well, I guess I could handle it in the script, but I'd
rather keep that information out of it.

I did briefly consider that, but thought what I was trying to do should
be perfectly feasible. 

 Sorry, Monitor also has the flag param which allows you to execute a
 command post recording if you want to stick with Monitor and not
 MixMonitor.

The monitor() works perfectly well, my only issue was getting a command
executed after the recording was done.  I might take another look at
mixmonitor(), but as I've got it working now, and it's not exactly
going to be used a lot, well ...

[asterisk-users] How many bounces does it take before you get unsubscribed?

2009-01-27 Thread Per Jessen
I got notified on 22 Jan that I was about to be unsubscribed due
to excessive bounces.  I've checked my mail logs, and saw the
following bounces (that I had generated):

Jan 12 04:50:44 437 Bad Message-ID
Jan 16 19:56:19 437 Bad Message-ID
Jan 19 20:36:20 437 Bad Message-ID
Jan 22 18:11:35 437 Article posted in the future

So over 10 days I had 4 bounces - I guess that's enough, but shouldn't
the counter be reset at some point?

2008-01-19 Thread Per Jessen
Russell Bryant wrote:

 Greetings,
 
 During the past week, there have been some requests for nightly
 tarballs to help making testing new Asterisk code easier.  There was
 some debate as to whether they would be useful.  The reason that they
 may not be useful is  because you can get equivalent access to new
 code just by accessing the subversion repository directly.  However,
 for one reason or another, some people would prefer to have a tarball.
 
 If this was available, would you be interested in it?

On occasion, yes. 

I think nightly tarballs could be quite useful.  Whilst it's easy to
check out from subversion directly, a nightly tarball provides a
specific point of reference which can be helpful when trying to
identify a problem.  If we had a specific problem we were trying to
fix, I would very likely grab the latest tarball and try it out.

 0010 rip 00420450 rsp 41c670e0 error 4

Hi Matthew

I've checked my logs, and there's nothing like that - but I don't think
I've ever seen a logline being written because of a segfault.  I wonder
if it's a special config option. 

 Hopefully, you don't have enough segfaults occurring on your system to
 require a more complex search.  

Nah, right now asterisk is the only service that is a little unstable. 

 I also recommend the safe_asterisk 
 script if your failures are all segfaults.  Unfortunately, the other
 way Asterisk dies (the process is still alive, but not really doing
 anything) isn't as easy to diagnose.

an strace might reveal what it's doing - or where.

Check your mail-logs.  Was the email with the long address accepted and
processed by your mail-server?  Also look for traces of an incomplete

For SPA-921 and SPA-941, you can get it from the phone itself:

 We currently have no solution for NAT traversal for our SIP clients.

We've recently completed a setup (see other threads) with a couple of
SIP clients behind NAT in their respective home-offices.  Took a couple
of attempts, but after consulting the list, we have a working setup. 

 What's the simplest method of preventing packet loss due to NAT
 traversal in a SIP environment?

I doubt very much if any loss you're seeing is due to NAT traversal.

2007-10-22 Thread Per Jessen
Luki wrote:

 Here's how you do it.
 
 1) In the DHCP server's config (dhcpd.conf) you specify the IP of the
 TFTP server:
 option tftp-server-name 66.55.44.33;
 This can be a remote server, as long as it's accessible by the device.
 
 2) The factory settings on the Sipura devices (ATAs and phones) have
 /spa$PSN.cfg in the Provisioning profile rule, so the device will
 connect the TFTP server you specify and will try to retrieve that
 file, i.e. ftfp://66.55.44.33/spa942.cfg for the SPA-942 in this
 example.
 
 3) This file contains very minimal information, which tells the device
 where to download its final configuration from. This can be a remote
 http server so you can maintain the configs on one central server.
 Example:
 
 flat-profile
  Profile_Rule ua=na
http://YOUR.HTTP.PROVISIONING.SERVER.HOST/$MA.bin
  /Profile_Rule
 /flat-profile

Is it possible that this only works with a compiled config?  I've been
trying do the above, but with the XML config, and I'm not getting
anywhere. 

 4) The device will then connect via HTTP and will try to retrieve for
 configuration for its MAC address. Since it's a HTTP request, you can
 generate the provisioning data on the fly (even from the a database),
 either in XML format or in compiled format if you have the Sipura
 compiler.

Oh well - I wonder what I'm doing wrong then.  I've been trying to get
this to work for most of last week. 

 The above works just fine and very reliably. We have disabled periodic
 resync as the Sipura phones seem to reboot sometimes for no good
 reason when they apply the new but unchanged profile. If there is a
 config change, we just push it on the phone with SIP NOTIFY option.

Do you push it from Asterisk or somewhereelse?  Again, I can't make it
work. I've got Auth resync-reboot disabled on the SPA, so it
shouldn't be asking for authentication, but the SIP NOTIFY goes out,
and the phone does nothing.

 How viable is this?
 
 The problem there is that you have a very small windows. AFAIK there
 are no tftp servers that can generate files on-the-fly, so your script
 would have to generate the XML within less than a second, reliably,
 and do all the necessary asterisk changes within another second or
 two, and I doubt this will be possible _that_ quick.

Perhaps you could trigger the creation of the config, xml etc. on the
first TFTP request - on the retry the files would then be ready to go.

 Of course you can use ISC dhcpd for tailoring answers to your needs
 (dynamic setting of config file etc), but IMO this will only work well
 if the phones support http config download, 

The SPA-9x1 does support http download, but I don't see how you could
change the initial TFTP request to HTTP without manually configuring
the phone.  Even then I'm not sure it would work - I certainly haven't
managed to make any of my SPAs do an auto-config over HTTP.

Here's what we do - even it's not asterisk-related - temperatures are

When/if certain thresholds are exceeded, an email is sent to our central

as easily be turned into a call file and dropped into to the

We expect to start using SNMP traps instead of the email, but the
principle is pretty much the same.

[asterisk-users] A linksys SPA921 behind NAT and firewall

2007-10-18 Thread Per Jessen
I've got someone sat in a home-office with an SPA921 behind NAT, and
most probably a firewall.  I've got a STUN-server running, and calling
in from the SPA921 to our Asterisk box works fine - though I had to
open the firewall for UDP traffic on port 1-2. 

Calling from our Asterisk to the SPA921 doesn't work.  I'm guessing this
is due to the NAT/firewall on the other side, coz' how would it know
that UDP-traffic to SPA publicIP:5060 needs to be delivered to
192.168.x.x:5060 ?

When considering redundancy it is essential that you have no single

I think the basic Linux-HA setup works with ping, but there's plenty of

 Hello,
 
 I want to create a VPN between two Asterisk servers using OpenVPN.
 How to configure Asterisk and OpenVPN to do that.

1. get openvpn up and running.  That will give you a secure tunnel
between server#1 and server#2. 
2. whatever it is you need asterisk to do, make sure it uses the tunnel
endpoints for networking.

What you need to do is configure the before you jump to trying to build

Hi Lenz

thanks for your suggestions. 

I tried them both individually and together - no change.  

After a restart of Asterisk (now 1.4.4), I see the following on the
first call with no callerid:  

app_queue.c:3541 queue_exec: Unable to join queue 'enidan'

I then do a module reload app_queue, and everything is working fine.

A show queue before reloading:

enidan   has 0 calls (max unlimited) in 'ringall' strategy (0s
holdtime), W:0, C:0, A:0, SL:0.0% within 0s
   Members:

  Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Invalid) has taken no calls yet
  Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Invalid) has taken no calls yet
  Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Invalid) has taken no calls yet
   No Callers

Does anyone know what (Invalid) means in this context?  I'll check the
code myself, but just in case someone recognises it.

Not necessarily, except perhaps in cases of very high volumes.
 

Actually, I think hylafax+iaxmodem are particularly useful for small

Sorry, I should have added that:

 You're getting the error message because ${CALLERID(num)} is empty.

exten = _X.,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${DB(cidname/${CALLERID(num)})})
 
 I do omething similar, but I test for no callerId before trying to do
 a database lookup.

Later on I have no problems with e.g. a suppressed callerid - but I'll
try what you suggest.  Thanks Gordon.

OK, tried it - 

with your Noop(), I don't get a warning when there is no CLIP:

-- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1] NoOp(mISDN/3-u0, CallerId is 
) in new stack
-- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2] Ringing(mISDN/3-u0, ) in new stack

What surprises is that my Set() call isn't listed in the console log?

OK, so I tried this:

exten = _X.,1,Noop(CallerId is ${CALLERID(all)})
exten = _X.,n,Noop(blurp)
exten = _X.,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${DB(cidname/${CALLERID(num)})})

This now appears to execute the first Noop(), skip the second, and then
issue the no argument warning on the Set() call.

And miraculously, I can make the whole thing work by issuing a 
module reload app_queue.  After that, the DB() function no longer
complains, with or without CLIP.

Sounds like a bug to me.

 Dear users,
 
 I think I may found a bug in the voicemail module of Asterisk 1.4.2!
 
 Outgoing email notifications should use a real existing domain (let's
 call it domain.real) instead of the local domain (domain.local) so
 that some mail servers won't reject the mails. That's why I've set the
 serveremail option in voicemail.conf to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Unfortunately Asterisk is always sending these mails with the sender
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] regardless of the serveremail option.  

You fix that in your mail-server with aliasing and/or canonicalising.  I
think the Asterisk behaviour is correct.  It is similar to receiving an
email from cron or some other daemon. That is sent
from [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is fine for your internal purposes, but if
you send it out externally, you'll need to map it to a external
address.

As far as I can tell (but I'm on 1.4.1), the serveremail option only
sets the From-address, not the envelope-address.  The envelope will

 The From-address ist set by the fromstring option - which works btw -
 so you are wrong :) Unfortunately setting the From-address does not
 fix my problem.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting things, but this is what I se: 

fromstring = the From:-text, not the From:-address.  

I'm just using the default fromstring, but I've set 

serveremail = asterisk@realdomain 

With this I get

Still, the envelope is  [EMAIL PROTECTED].
