[asterisk-users] Re: Sangoma A200D and DTMF Detection

2006-08-09 Thread Rana Dutt
We experienced this problem with a Sangoma A104D card. With echo cancel turned on, the card was not detecting incoming DTMF digits to our IVR properly. However, when we added the line relaxdtmf=yes to zapata.conf, the problem went away. If the relaxdtmf setting is not curing the problem for you, I would suggest sending an email to

[asterisk-users] Polycom phone cycles between UNREACHABLE and REACHABLE

2006-07-16 Thread Rana Dutt
I have a customer witha Polycom 501 phone behind a NAT. His phone is connected tohis Netgear router at home which in turn is connected to his cable modem. The phone is set up to register with our remote Asterisk server which is on a public, static IP address, with no NAT. 


If we set qualify=yes, our Asterisk console shows his extension becoming UNREACHABLE for a minute, then REACHABLE for a minute, then UNREACHABLE again, in an endless cycle. If we try to call the phone while it is UNREACHABLE, the phone never rings and the call goes straight to voice mail.This is very annoying. 


If we set qualify=no, then if we try to call the phone, the phone sometimes does not ring at all, and we hear silence. The call eventually goes to voice mail. This is equally annoying to the customer.

What is the solution to this problem? We have other customers with Polycom phones behind NAT, and they don't have this problem. Will we have better luck if we replace the Polycom with a Linksys 942 phone? 

Here is some console output:

Jul 16 21:44:24 NOTICE[19981]: chan_sip.c:11364 sip_poke_noanswer: Peer '280' is now UNREACHABLE! Last qualify: 174Jul 16 21:45:33 NOTICE[19981]: chan_sip.c:9697 handle_response_peerpoke: Peer '280' is now REACHABLE! (3181ms / 5000ms)

Here is the way the phone is set up in sip.conf:

[Asterisk-Users] Jittery Linksys/Sipura meetme conference fixed

2006-03-26 Thread Rana Dutt
Ina previous message I described how Linksys 942 phone users who dialed in to a meetme conference at their site heard severe jitter. This was also experienced with Sipura SPA-2002 ATAs. Users of other IP phones like Polycom and Snom had no such problem. Also, the Linksys and SPA users had no problems with regular phone calls, just the meetme conference. 


This problem was finally fixed by going in to the settings for the Linksys phone and setting the RTP frame length to 0.020 and disabling the jitter buffer adjustment. The same fix also worked for the SPA. Hope this helps others who have experienced a similar problem.

[Asterisk-Users] Jittery meetme conference using Linksys 942 phones

2006-03-18 Thread Rana Dutt
We have two Linksys 942 phones which sound great when they call each other directly through Asterisk. But when they both dial in to a meetme conference room, the sound is very jittery. Other phones like Polycom 501 and Snom 360 sound fine when using meetme. 


Both Linksys phones are set to use the default g711u (ulaw) codecs. Adjusting the jitter buffer and jitter level settings to various values did not help. 

We are running Asterisk 1.2.1 on Centos 4.2 (Linux 2.6x kernel) on a dual-processor Dell Poweredge 2850 server with 1 Gb RAM. This machine has a TE-210 Dual-T1 card plugged in. The meetme.conf file has no general settings, just a list of two conference rooms. 


Has anyone else experienced sound quality issues with meetme conferences using Linksys phones? Any idea what could fix this? Thanks.

[Asterisk-Users] SIP phone failover using DNS SRV?

2005-07-20 Thread Rana Dutt



Has anyone successfully had a SIP phone fail over 
from Asterisk Server A to Server B using DNS SRV? 

If so, which phone worked for you? I'm assuming you 
set up your DNS SRV records so that the IP addresses of A and B are associated 
with the same name, and both servers have equal priority and equal weight. 


In order to make calls through B after A goes down, 
do you have to wait as long as the registration retry interval? Or can you make 
calls through B as soon as you pick up the phone and dial, because the INVITE 
message through A fails, and the phone re-sends the INVITE through B? 


Thanks for any help. We've been trying this with 
Aastra 480i phones and SJ Phone without much luck so far.

[Asterisk-Users] Quintum Tenor DX

2004-11-02 Thread Rana Dutt
Has anyone used a Quintum Tenor DX to send SIP calls from Asterisk to T1
trunks and vice versa? If this works, there may be some advantages over
plugging a Digium Quad T1 card directly into the * server. For example, it
offloads the * server from doing the SIP to TDM conversion, which may result
in a higher number of calls per second. Also, if the * server dies, a hot
spare could take over and connect to the Tenor to keep the T1 connectivity
up.

The only cons I can think of are the increased cost of the Tenor compared to
the Quad T1 card and the increased traffic on the LAN. But at a site that
requires 8 T1s, the improved throughput and redundancy could outweigh these
cons.

[Asterisk-Users] Problem with AstTapi

2004-10-27 Thread Rana Dutt
I wanted to use Outlook 2000 to dial my Contacts using Asterisk. So I
installed AstTapi on my Windows XP machine. When I try to dial a contact,
the call originates just fine. My SIP phone rings, and when I pick up,
Asterisk makes the call to the dialed number correctly.

However, Outlook displays an error message saying Unable to complete an
operation requested by the automatic phone dialer. Please make sure your
modem, phone and phone line are properly configured. After closing the
error message dialog, if I then go to dial the Contact again, I get a
different error message saying An internal error occurred in the phone
dialer. Close the Dial Phone dialog box and then open it again. Well,
closing the dialog box and opening it again doesn't work: the same internal
error message keeps popping up when trying to make a call. The only way to
get rid of it is to exit Outlook and restart it.

Has anyone who has used AstTapi seen this problem? I am using Outlook 2000
SP3.

My Asterisk TAPI driver is configured as follows:

Host: 192.168.2.11 (IP of Asterisk server)
Port: 5038
Dial out by using the Dial application - Outgoing chan: Zap/1/
User: john
Password: my_secret
User channel: SIP/200

My manager.conf is as follows:

[general]
enabled = yes
port = 5038
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0

[john]
secret = mysecret
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=192.168.2.17/255.255.255.0
read = system,call,log.verbose,command,agent,user
write = system,call,log.verbose,command,agent,user

As I said, the first time I place the call from Outlook, it works fine. The
trace on Asterisk shows:

== Manager 'john' logged on from 192.168.2.17
  -- Launching Dial(Zap/1/18005551212) on SIP/200-da5d

I use Polycom IP 500's with Asterisk. These phones have 3 line appearances
and excellent full duplex speakerphones. They work very well with Asterisk,
and I was able to use the Web interface to set them up quite easily. The
default Web password given at voip-info.org is wrong, I added a comment on

can do both consultative and blind transfers with this phone, and the
Conference button works as you would expect. It's a very high quality
product, and it has more line appearances than the cisco 7940G. I don't know
whether you can get them for less than $200, I paid about $240 each.

The Wiki lists 35 brands of hardphone, but:

2. For many, there is no info on e.g. speakerphone characteristics.
3. When one seems technically promising, e.g. Polycom IP500, there
   are *lots* of negative postings about support, integration, etc.

Is there anything decent out there for  $200?

[Asterisk-Users] My Cisco 7940 is not registering with Asterisk

2004-09-05 Thread Rana Dutt
I just got a Cisco 7940G phone running SIP firmware version POS3-06-1-00. I
unlocked the phone's config, and using the soft keys, I entered the SIP
Configuration menu and keyed in values for Name, Auth. Name, ProxyAddress
(where I gave my Asterisk server's IP address), etc.

The result is that I can make outgoing calls from this phone just fine
through my Asterisk server, but I cannot call the phone. With most SIP
phones, after you save the SIP settings, the phone registers with *, and you
see the registration message on the * console. But in my case, saving the
SIP settings had no effect, I saw no message that the phone registered.
Obviously, the phone can see the * server, because outgoing calls work.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? How do I force the 7940 to register? I have
other non-Cisco phones like Snom 200 that work just fine.

Here's my phone's SIP settings:

Line 1 Configuration

Name   201
Shortname  201
Authent. Name  201
Password   none
Display Name   201
Proxy Address  192.168.2.11 (the IP address of the Asterisk server)
Propxy Port5060

And here's the relevant part of my sip.conf:

[general]
port = 5060
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
disallow = all
allow = ulaw
allow = alaw

[Asterisk-Users] Call Admission Control

2004-05-25 Thread Rana Dutt
Let's say you have a 256 Kbps Internet connection and you're using it for
voice calls. With mu-law (G.711), each call uses about 80 kbps, so you
really can't have more than 3 calls active at one time. Does Asterisk
support any kind of Call Admission Control where it would prevent you from
originating a call if it would exceed your Internet bandwidth? For example,
in this case, ideally, we would want Asterisk to present busy tone when the
fourth simultaneous call is attempted.

Sure.  You can use Asterisk as a VoIP gateway to your existing legacy PBX.
You can't plug Lucent's (Avaya's) DCP, MLX, or ATL phone sets into an
Asterisk box -- the protocols are all proprietary.  But you can certainly
connect between the systems using analog or T1/Ei connections.

[Asterisk-Users] Connecting two branch offices using * and Mediatrix

2004-04-05 Thread Rana Dutt









Suppose a company has a U.S. office and a foreign
office, and would like to make toll-free calls using IP between the offices.
The U.S office will have an Asterisk system, but the foreign office has a large
legacy PBX that they want to keep. 



One way to do this is to install a Mediatrix FXO
gateway at the foreign office. This gateway could be connected to a couple of
unused tip/ring station ports on the legacy PBX system. I assume that when the
Mediatrix registers with Asterisk, it does so as a single SIP endpoint. Suppose
this endpoint is SIP/mediatrix, and my extensions.conf routes all extensions
beginning with 4 to SIP/mediatrix, like this:



exten = _4XXX, Dial(SIP/mediatrix,15)



When I dial such an extension from the U.S. office,
presumably the Mediatrix at the foreign office will intercept the call, but
then what? What I would like it do do is go off hook on one of the tip/ring
ports on the legacy PBX, and dial the last 3 digits to reach another extension
off the PBX. Can it be programmed to do this? Or does the caller hear the
Mediatrix answering the call and then have to enter the desired extension
manually? 



I have a similar question for the reverse direction.
What exactly does the caller from the foreign office have to do to reach an
extension in the U.S. office? Thanks very much.

[Asterisk-Users] Intermittent choppy speech using VoicePulse?

2004-03-17 Thread Rana Dutt
Yesterday evening, the speech on all the calls I made using VoicePulse
sounded choppy from my side, although the called party said I sounded fine.
Also, the voice mail messages I recorded calling in to the VoicePulse number
sounded choppy. Calls I made over the PSTN line using my Zap interface
sounded fine. 

This morning, though, the speech over the VoicePulse service sounds crystal
clear on both sides! I haven't changed a thing in the configuration of
either Asterisk or the SNOM phones I've been using. Has anyone experienced
this type of intermittent choppy speech problem using VoicePulse, Asterisk,

[Asterisk-Users] Dialing out after caller leaves message

2004-02-29 Thread Rana Dutt
I want Asterisk to call my cell phone after someone leaves me a voice mail
message. How do I do this?

I cannot use Dial after the Voicemail application, e.g.,

[Step 1]  exten = 100, 1, Dial( SIP/100, 15 )
[Step 2]  exten = 100, 2, Voicemail( u100 )
[Step 3]  exten = 100, 3, Dial( Zap/g1/CELL_PHONE )

because the caller will hang up after leaving the voice mail in Step 2
above, and Asterisk will terminate the script, so Step 3 will get never get
executed.

Is there a way to do what I want to do?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Dialing out after caller leaves message

2004-02-29 Thread Rana Dutt
The following suggested sequence does not work:

exten = 100, 1, Dial(SIP/100, 15)
exten = 100, 2, Voicemail(u100)
exten = h,1,Dial(Zap/g1/CELL_PHONE)

The Dial command in the 3rd step will fail because the channel it uses to
dial out on has hung up already! For example, if extension 101 leaves a
message for ext. 100 and then hangs up, the first two steps above get
executed, but after 101 hangs up, there is no current channel for Dial to
use to place the call to the cell phone.

Can anyone see a way to make Asterisk dial a new call on its own after the
original caller has hung up? Do I need an AGI script to do this? Thanks,

-Ron

The problem turned out to be in my voicemail.conf, thanks. I had the second
section named [bell] instead of [default]. The MWI works perfectly now with
both the Grandstream and IpDialog SIP phones.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Conference and transfer

2004-02-25 Thread Rana Dutt
Thanks for the info. Which phones support consultation transfers? The
Grandstream and IpDialog phones most certainly do not.

Also, I find it disconcerting that there's a Conference button on the
Grandstream phone, but when it's pressed, nothing happens. If this sends out
some sort of switch-hook flash, can Asterisk intercept it, and then use the
meetme app? Do the Cisco phones support conferencing using the Conference
button without the need for the meetme app?

hi

 1) Does Asterisk support a consulting transfer? E.g., call comes in, Mary
 answers, Mary presses Transfer and dials Joe, verifies that Joe answers
and
 informs him who is calling, and then presses Transfer to complete the
 transfer?
on zap channels yes
on sip channels yes, depending if phone supports that too


 2) How does one set up a 3-party conference? With a traditional phone
 system, you press the Conference button on the phone, dial the 3rd party,
 and press Conference again. This doesn't seem to work with Asterisk.

[Asterisk-Users] Message waiting light not coming on

2004-02-25 Thread Rana Dutt
I cannot get the Message Waiting Light (MWL) on my Grandstream phone to turn
on when I leave a new voice mail message for that phone. I have specified
the correct mailbox in my sip.conf as follows:

[200]
type=friend
username=200
host=dynamic
context=dialout
callerid=200
dtmfmode=rfc2833

I also have an IpDialog Siptone II phone, and can't get the MWL to work on
that either.

Did anyone have a problem like this?

[Asterisk-Users] Could voice mail problem be related to RAM?

2004-02-24 Thread Rana Dutt









I wrote to the list a couple weeks back
about my voice mail messages sounding garbled. This happens no matter what
phone I use to record the message, Ive tried IpDialog, Grandstream and SJ-Phone.
Obviously, no one else is having this problem, since Ive never seen it
discussed here. 



I am now wondering whether my lack of RAM
may be the problem. I am running Asterisk on a Dell Dimension XPS R450 with
only 128 Mb of RAM. When I run the top command, I see my RAM consumption is above
120 Mb, but I always see about 4 Mb of RAM available. Should I get more RAM?
Has anyone else recorded garbled voice mail messages?

[Asterisk-Users] Slow, distorted speech on voice mail messages

2004-02-18 Thread Rana Dutt
When I play back my voice mail messages, the words sound very s-l-o-w-e-d
down and distorted. It's like I'm speaking in slow motion.

I've tried recording using an IpDialog SipTone phone, a Grandstream phone
and SJ-Phone, and the problem always happens.  So it's not the phone. When I
talk from one phone to another, the speech sounds normal. The problem is
only happening for recorded voice mail messages.

All of my different types of SIP phones are using ulaw codecs and my
sip.conf contains disallow=all followed by allow=ulaw for all phones.
Asterisk is a CVS build from 2/1/04.

Any insights would be much appreciated.

[Asterisk-Users] Double digits seen using Grandstream phones

2004-02-17 Thread Rana Dutt
My attempts to use voice mail from my Grandstream Budgetone 101 phone always
fail because Asterisk is seeing either double digits or dropped digits, no
matter what dtmfmode setting I try. Here is what happens for each mode:

dtmfmode=info, phone set to send INFO 101: every digit is seen double, e.g.
123 is seen as 112233

dtmfmode=rfc2833, phone set to RFC2833: some digits are doubled in random
places, e.g., 123 is sometimes seen as 1123, sometimes as 1233

dtmfmode=inband, phone set to send in-audio: some digits are dropped, e.g.,
123 becomes 23 or 12

I have upgraded the firmware in my phones to 1.0.4.46 and Asterisk is a CVS
from 2/1/04. The codec in the phones is set to PCMU (ulaw) as first
preference, and the sip.conf has disallow=all followed by allow=ulaw for
each phone. Early dial is turned off. 

Can anyone help me? Thanks,

-Ron

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Double digits seen using Grandstream phones

Yes!! Applying the patch and using dtmfmode=rfc2833 cleared up the problem.

The only side effect I see now are some console warnings RTP Read error:
Resource temporarily unavailable, but they seem harmless, and the system is
working fine.

Thank you!

Try the patch in bug number 1034:

http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=0001034

That deals with doubles due to packet reording in transit and also
due to phones that interleave voice packets with 2833 packets.

After applying that patch, use rfc2833 for dtmf.

[Asterisk-Users] Speech between Grandstream phones sounds like talking under water

2004-02-16 Thread Rana Dutt
When I make a simple phone call from one Budgetone 101 to another, the
speech sounds slurred and slow, sort of like the person is talking under
water. Both phones and the Asterisk server are on the same subnet.

Both phones are configured to use the PCMU (ulaw) codec as first choice, and
the Voice Frames per TX parameter is set to 2.  Incidentally, if I directly
IP dial from one phone to the other (bypassing Asterisk) the speech sounds
excellent.

I'm running a CVS build from Feb. 1, 2004, and there is a Digium X100P card
with one incoming CO line in my machine.

The first part of my sip.conf looks like this:

[general]
port=5060
binaddr=0.0.0.0
disallow=all
allow=ulaw

[200]
type=friend
username=200
host=dynamic
context=home
reinvite=no
canreinvite=no

[201]
type=friend
username=201
host=dynamic
context=home
reinvite=no
canreinvite=no

I turned on sip debug, and noticed the following in the output:

v=0
s=SIP Call
c= IN IP4 192.168.2.29
m= audio 5004 RTP/AVP 0
a=rptmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=ptime:20

Found audio format UNKN
Found description format PCMU
Capabilities: us - 4, them 4/0, combined - 4
