Re: [asterisk-users] can ENUMLOOKUP query multiple DNS servers without having to replicate the same code for each server?

 Hi all,
 
 Does ENUMLOOKUP can query multiple DNS servers without having to
 replicate the same code in which the only thing replaced is the server?
 

the enumlookup dialplan function (as opposed to the application) never
cares about your enum.conf file. The trick is to use separate enum
domains, and test them all in your dialplan using

${ENUMLOOKUP(+${ARG1:2:},sip,c,yourdomain.local) or something in a loop.

 If I use ENUMLOOKUP(${exten}), Asterisk will parse enum.conf file to
 find the list of DNS servers in order of preference to be queried, but,
 I pretend to use something like this: ${ENUMLOOKUP(+${ARG1:2:},sip,c)
 which does not seam to care about the existence of enum.conf file! May I
 force Asterisk to care about the servers I wrote in enum.conf?
 
 To let you understand better, I wish to use just a block of code that is
 able to query multiple DNS servers, instead of repeating like in the
 following example the same code for each DNS server I wish to lookup for:
 
 ; Start first with e164.arpa zone:
 exten = _X.,1,Set(sipcount=${ENUMLOOKUP(+${EXTEN},sip,c)}|counter=0)
 exten = _X.,2,GotoIf($[${counter}${sipcount}]?3:6)
 exten = _X.,3,Set(counter=$[${counter}+1])
 exten = _X.,4,Dial(SIP/${ENUMLOOKUP(+${EXTEN},sip,${counter})})
 exten = _X.,5,GotoIf($[${counter}${sipcount}]?3:6)
 ; ...then also try e164.org:
 exten = _X.,6,Set(sipcount=${ENUMLOOKUP(+${EXTEN},sip,c)}|counter=0)
 exten = _X.,7,GotoIf($[${counter}${sipcount}]?8:11)
 exten = _X.,8,Set(counter=$[${counter}+1])
 exten = _X.,9,Dial(SIP/${ENUMLOOKUP(+${EXTEN},sip,${counter})})
 exten = _X.,10,GotoIf($[${counter}${sipcount}]?8:11)
 ; ...in case of no route by IP, then send out PRI:
 exten = _X.,11,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})

 Ricardo.

 I don't think I am incorrect in saying that dundi doesn't look for

 I was afraid of that.  It just means I have to explicitly list every
 number in the DID range (so hundreds of extensions).  I was hoping DUNDi
 would make the dialplan simpler. :(
 

it will, look into the regexten for your sip accounts. Now have dundi
lookup a number in that extension... Now, you might need to abstract
extension numbers from sip accounts, but that only has advantages anyway...

the recommendation is not to run as root, and have both the desired user

yes, it can work, but not with asterisk alone. SIP phones consume a lot

 Hi,
 
 
 I use Asterisk 1.2.17 in my site, and now I'm trying to configure ENUM

 When someone calls a number that has multiple ENUM entries, randomly

 I've goggled a bit on this, but didn't get any good conclusion. There is
 some RFC Compliant ENUM Macro that can be used that is announced to
 solve this problem, but also it can be read that It seems that Asterisk
 1.2.0 comes with a new powerful ENUMLOOKUP. So there is probably no need
 to use this script anymore.. Should I still use that macro?
 

enumlookup works greak, as far as I can tell.

 It is already closed a Digium Issue Tracker concerning handle multiple
 records with the same order and priority, so, this problem shouldn't be
 arising anymore, shouldn't it?
 
 Does Asterisk 1.4 already solves this issue?
 

just as well as enumlookup in 1.2

Re: [asterisk-users] WiFi SIP phones

Tony Plack wrote:
 Are the DECT phones two channel or do they share a channel like most
 other portable phones?

DECT is a digital standard, quite distantly comparable to GSM. There are
multiple channels (I believe the standard allows for 12 channels, but
the last time I actually worked on DECT is ages ago). A siemens S450IP
can have up two 6 handsets with 2 'external' (SIP or POTS) phonecalls
concurently. You cannot decline a phonecall, but you can ignore it.

  
 The thing I like about the wired SIP phones is that they handle the echo
 issue fairly well.  ATAs just reintroduce the echo issue of single pair
 type phones.
 

DECT is completely digital, no echo ;-)

 I'd just like to say that I purchased a siemen S450IP recently and
 so far so good it's a nice handset and works better than previous
 wifi phones I've used. This is most likely due to it being dect gap
 where the base station handles the voip side and not the phone thus
 avoiding issues with 802.11 wireless and phone packets.

 Dee

 Hi,
  
 I have a question of using 2 SIP providers.  Let's say I have provider A and
 provider B, and I would like my calls to go to A, and then B if A wasn`t
 available
 

there is a macro floating around called safedial. Basically this does
what you want, if one provider is unresponsive, use the other. You could
possibly have 2 variations, so you can first try your preferred provider
for that extension and then fail-over to the other. My provider provides
2 uplinks, so I randomly select one of the two...

 
 What would be really cool, but require special code in the chan_sip
 dialer, would be automatic support of multiple providers in a similar
 fashion to the way Asterisk can ring two channels and only talk to
 the first to answer.
 
 You can't just do this with outgoing providers, because if you try to
 ring two at once, you may very well have the second one go to
 a voicemail and thus answer right away (because the first is
 ringing) and you would treat that as the success.
 
 What I have in mind is something like this:
 
 a) Invite to main provider
 b) Await some intermediate response, such as a RINGING code
or some early media
 c) If you don't get that after a short timeout (more like 5 seconds)
then INVITE the second provider
 d) Upon the receipt of a ringing or early media code from either,
CANCEL the other.
 
 Now you would have to get your timings right because there could still
 be risk of doing something bad, such as a 2nd call going to voice mail
 or residual ringing making a call waiting on the recipient.  (I don't
 know what typical 5ess do with a 2nd call that comes in while still
 ringing, anybody known?)
 
 Anyway, this could be a good course when a provider has known
 unreliability.   Long timeouts and restarts are very annoying to
 users.

Re: [asterisk-users] Ser vs. DUNDi

2007-05-19 Thread Remco Post
Curt Shaffer wrote:
 With all of the recent talk on the list about DUNDi, I have a question. From
 the outset it appears that SER is often used for high availability solutions
 and as a tool for almost clustering Asterisk boxes behind it. It appears to
 me that DUNDi is providing a lot of this as well. Now I know DUNDi is not an
 application by itself to proxy SIP requests but can I hear any information
 out there that supports that DUNDi is in fact a valid alternative to
 something like SER or not? A nice feature analysis between the two in a
 clustering/highly available solution would be nice to see. Not a feature
 list but rather a discussion from people that have tested/used both for
 people who are deciding which way to go to achieve the goal.
 

I'm currently 'using' dundi and it works great for small environments. I
guess that up to several tens of nodes and a few concurrent calls going
on, a set of * boxes clustered using dundi is quite an elegant solution.

Now, if you have hundreds or more clients all registering quite
frequently, you * boxes will have an hard time keeping up. In that case,
it makes lots of sense to set up a set of (Open)SER registrars to handle
that load and have * take on the role of a 'border' gateway, of course
still clustered to achieve maximum availability and an opportunity to
take one down for maintenance without impacting production too much.
Now, I haven't had time to test this, but from what I hear, this is the
way o go for larger environments. I haven't had time to experiment with
this, but it seems feasable.

 Thanks!

 I am new at this.  I have read Asterisk: The Future of Telephony
 and have installed AsteriskNOW (beta 4, due to the dual processor

 capability that I need, although I have modified the *.conf files to
 successfully create what I need.  Given this, I would like to install
 Asterisk on a distro.  I am most familiar with SuSE, and have the
 OpenSuSE 10.2 distro.
 
 I downloaded asterisk-1.4.4.tar.gz, zaptel-1.4.2.1.tar.gz, and
 libpri-1.4.0.tar.gz.  I have untarred these, and have tried to run
 make.  When I run make clean on zaptel, it give me an error about
 an included makefile not having a clean target.  When I attempt to
 run make on Asterisk, the make clean runs, but when I try make, it
 gives me a message saying I have to run configuration script first.
 If I run make config, it give me a message that the distribution is
 not supported.
 

for asterisk, try ./configure in the source dir (yes, this should be in
the README), then run make and as root make install. zaptel can be build
by just running make and make install.

 Has anyone put Asterisk on the 10.2 distro?  Any pointers?

yes you can.

You'll setup a context in your dialplan on your server where you'll tell
dundi that you accept calls for say _88XXX and have a mapping for that

 How about if both ServerA and ServerB houses extensions 500 throught

yes. Use regexten and regcontext and have dundi look into that context
to see if an extension is available. The actual call doesn't need to go
trough that context.

This is the way to go for HA clusters.

 Hi Ronaldo,

 Yes, you can use DUNDi for this. DUNDi simply advertises routes that a
 given
 server can terminate to its peers. As a very simple example, if ServerA
 houses extensions 500 through 599 and ServerB houses extensions 600
 through
 699, ServerA would advertise that it can terminate 5XX, and ServerB would
 advertise that it can terminate 6XX. When any peer in your DUNDi cloud
 requests how to terminate extension 502, ServerA will return a route to
 itself that will allow that call to be made.

 There's a nice article on the Texas AUG site about setting up DUNDi with
 dynamic extensions (

What I've done in postgresql is to build an pl/pgsql procedure that

 awk are your friends.
 
 I prefer to keep things as simple as possible.  Sure scripts like
 safe_asterisk are nice and do some
 really neat things but lets face it how often do you actually sit at the
 console of your asterisk box.  My
 main PBX is located about 7 feet from my office desk and I still mostly
 use ssh (not even telnet) to get
 into the box.

at least on ubuntu 6.10 safe_asterisk requires one simple fix, not
really a headbreaker (something with output redirection). You could
actually edit the script to not start a console if you dont' want it to
(say for security reasons).

If you wanted to start asterisk and keep monitoring it, that is what
init is for. I don't know about ubuntu startup, but traditional sysV
init would simply restart a process if it ever quits (respawn). My bet
is that startup can do the same somehow, this is a far better way to
keep * up

 3) If asterisk fails believe me a full mailbox is the least of my
 worries.  As for full logs I'd rather have more informationgrep 
 awk are your friends.

 I prefer to keep things as simple as possible.  Sure scripts like
 safe_asterisk are nice and do some
 really neat things but lets face it how often do you actually sit at the
 console of your asterisk box.  My
 main PBX is located about 7 feet from my office desk and I still mostly
 use ssh (not even telnet) to get
 into the box.
 at least on ubuntu 6.10 safe_asterisk requires one simple fix, not
 really a headbreaker (something with output redirection). 
 
 Bashism? 
 
 The rule in Debian is that a bourne shell script (#!/bin/sh) should not
 use bash-specific features, such as  . If it does, it should
 explicitly ask for bash: '#!/bin/bash'
 

hmmm, you might have a point there, never thought of that.

 You could
 actually edit the script to not start a console if you dont' want it to
 (say for security reasons).
 
 Could you please elaborate?
 

Change:

CONSOLE=yes # Whether or not you
want a console

To 'CONSOLE=no'

 I believe that this would wreck the error handling in that script.
 
 If you wanted to start asterisk and keep monitoring it, that is what
 init is for. I don't know about ubuntu startup, but traditional sysV
 init would simply restart a process if it ever quits (respawn). My bet
 is that startup can do the same somehow, this is a far better way to
 keep * up
 
 But this means editing /etc/inittab every time you actually want to stop
 asterisk.
 

Or change runlevel... well that is maybe a bit to much AIX :)

 Greetings list,
 
 Wondering if anyone's come across this before.
 
 I've configured a couple of our servers with a privatedundi context to 
 allow calls to still flow between extensions even if they're registered to 
 different servers . The DUNDi lookups seem to work fine, evidenced by the 
 following on the originating server:
 -- Called private:password@ip/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 

shouldn't that be 'private:password@ip/minotaur-201'? I guess you
have a mistake in your dundi mapping

 However, on the destination server, I have the following:
 
 May  4 03:50:45 NOTICE[1149]: chan_iax2.c:7354 socket_read: Rejected connect 
 attempt from 80.68.80.210, request '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' does not exist
 
 I then performed the following:
 
 cronus*CLI show dialplan privatedundi 
 [ Context 'privatedundi' created by 'pbx_config' ]
   '_minotaur-2XX' = 1. NoOp(Connected to ${EXTEN})
 [pbx_config]
 2. Goto(minotaur|${EXTEN:9}|1)[pbx_config]
 
 Unless I'm missing something, [EMAIL PROTECTED] definitely *does* exist. 
 I've tried manually specifying minotaur-201 in full rather than as a pattern 
 match - which works correctly. I'm having exactly the same problem the other 
 way around (origination and target servers reversed).
 
 What's particularly strange is that other entries in [privatedundi] such as 
 _clienta-2XX, _clientb-2XX are working fine between the same servers.
 
  So, what's special about _minotaur-2XX vs. _somethingelse-2XX that causes 
 pattern matching to fail?
 
 If anyone can shed some light on this I'd be most grateful.

 Chris

SER and OpenSER are related. SER is more geared towards stability,
OpenSER towards features. I guess that If SER does what you need, go
with SER, otherwise look at OpenSER. I think that for instance
freeworddialup uses SER. I'd think it is a very viable solution.

The other two I don't knnow.

 p.s) Is Asterisk a SIP Proxy?
 

No, it is not, * is a back2back user agent.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.4.4 VoiceMail ODBC Storage Help

2007-05-02 Thread Remco Post
Bruce McAlister wrote:
 Hi Remco Post,
 

Having read your patch I suggest you report this bug at bugs.digium.com,
it seems to be legit...

 However, I think I may have got to the bottom of the issue now.
 
 What look like was happening is that asterisk was trying to delete any
 matching row prior to an insert operation. So, when a user left a message,
 for example, message 1, asterisk would attempt to delete message 1 before
 inserting it for that user. However, message 1 does not exist at that time
 and thus the ODBC driver returns SQL_NO DATA. 
 
 The same happens when a user checks their voicemail, once an message has
 been listened to asterisk moves it to the Old directory, that way it can
 distinguish between new/old messages. When a user listens to the voicemail,
 asterisk then tries to insert the message into the Old tree, prior to
 doing the insert, asterisk tries to delete the last available message
 returned from a select count(*) operation. This message does not exist and
 the odbc driver returns SQL_NO_DATA.
 
 The delete_file function in app_voicemail.c does not accommodate for this
 return code SQL_NO_DATA and thus spits out the warning on the console.
 
 I thus changed the following condition in function delete_file in
 app_voicemail.c from:
 
 if ((res != SQL_SUCCESS)  (res != SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO)) {
   ast_log(LOG_WARNING, SQL Execute error!\n[%s]\n\n, sql);
   SQLFreeHandle (SQL_HANDLE_STMT, stmt);
   ast_odbc_release_obj(obj);
   goto yuck;
 }
 
 To:
 
 if ((res != SQL_SUCCESS)  (res != SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO)  (res !=
 SQL_NO_DATA)) {
   ast_log(LOG_WARNING, SQL Execute error!\n[%s]\n\n, sql);
   SQLFreeHandle (SQL_HANDLE_STMT, stmt);
   ast_odbc_release_obj(obj);
   goto yuck;
 }
 
 This seems to have fixed the problem.

Re: [asterisk-users] ADSL routers with integrated SIP QoS for other devices

2007-05-01 Thread Remco Post
 



 Thanks to all who replied to my thread a few days ago SIP devices
 with packet loss tolerance. One of the suggestions that came out of
 that thread was to replace routers at users' premises with ones that
 support QoS.
 
 I've used m0n0wall's QoS in the past with reasonable success, but
 it's quite a bulky and complex setup for deploying to remote sites
 which I'll never visit (minimum 3 boxes - ADSL modem, m0n0, WiFi AP).
 
 
 So, does anyone have any recommendations for a wireless ADSL router
 with integrated QoS for SIP/RTP? I've looked at some of the Draytek
 units (e.g. Vigor 2700V), but I can't find reference as to whether
 the integrated QoS applies only to the FXS ports in the router
 itself, or to all SIP traffic (most of the users will have separate
 SIP hardphones). These are all to be used in the UK, so the device in
 question needs to support PPPoA.
 
 Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.


There are quite a few software stacks for the linksys wrt54g
routers/ap's, some of them supportq qos. I hear good things about the
wrt routers in general.

 Hi All,
 
 I have an issue with the ODBC voicemail storage option with asterisk. All
 appears to work fine, however, I get several sql execute warnings. I was
 wondering if anyone out there could help me get to the bottom of what is
 causing this and how I could possibly go about rectifying it.
 
 The warning message we are getting is as follows:
 
 WARNING[30115]: app_voicemail.c:1280 delete_file: SQL Execute error!
 [DELETE FROM voicemailmessages WHERE dir=? AND msgnum=?]
 
 This warning occurs whenever a user leaves a message for an extension. It
 also occurs when someone dials in to listen to their messages when they hang
 up.
 
 These messages do actually exist within the database, and asterisk does
 extract them from the database when playing back or recording messages.
 
 Here is an example when someone leaves a message for someone:

It looks like the * database user doesn't have permission to delete
records from the voicemailmessages table. Make sure it has the propper
permissions on that table.

 Personally, I would do it statically so you can avoid delays in processing
 addressing especially - in the case of enum- if you dns server becomes
 unavailable.
 

I've been using both enum and dundi. Dundi has some means of setting one
server to primary, so that server will most likely have the number you
are looking for in it's cache. With enum, you'll want to run a dns
recursor on each * host or on a host very close to it networkwise. Both
will do equally well in your case. I like the easy of using dundi. There
are some very good dialplans floating around for doing enum lookups, I
have a macro written in ael2 that you can have if you like.

 No.  Dial(SIP/deskSIP/cell) would find BOTH phones at the same time.
 
 The original poster wants the desk phone to ring, then after X seconds,
 KEEP ringing the desk phone, but also ring the cell phone.
 
 Using the Dial timeout would STOP ringing the desk phone then, start

 I don't know about you but it would seem pretty unprofessional to me if
 my deskphone rang, I went to pick it up, got a dialtone because I did
 not get to it in time, then before I hungup the deskphone Asterisk rang
 both the desk and cell phone.  Since the deskphone is offhook the call
 could go immediately to voicemail and then there would be no call when
 you rushed over to pick up the cell phone.

I think that you want asterisk not to pick up the call when all of your

queues, but you want to build some dialgroup.

So you'll need to do a few things

1- have some extension that agents can call to log on. When they do,
append their account (Technology/resource) to a database record (or
global var).
2- have some extension that agents can call to log off. Reverse of the
above.
3- When somebody calls the extension '' from below, you use Dial on
the database entry or global var to call all of your agents. If the dail
fails, you check the dialstatus to see why and possibly retry after so
many seconds (for a limited amount of tries) and then maybe answer the
call to play an announcement that nobody is available and please try
again later, or would they want to wait an be placed in a queue.

 - no failover to other DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf (might be a C
 library thing)

wasn't there some setting for that? I run a dns caching deamon om my *
box (speeds up enum lookups big time), but i seem to recall that some
dns settings could be made

 - chan_sip will sometimes mark even local SIP peers as unreachable
 during/after any DNS problems - why?

because your * can't resolve the names any more?

 - dnsmgr doesn't support SIP (yikes!):
 http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=9153
 - other randomness (please contribute your own experiences)
 
  What can we do about improving this situation?  At the very least we
 need to extend DNS manager support to SIP.  I'm willing to pay for
 this and any other Asterisk DNS improvements.  Any other ideas?

 How do you handle transfering vmail from one user to another when they're on

I'd have a look at:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Voicemail+ODBC+storage

Having voicemail stored in a database solves all kinds of potential
locking problems. I guess (never played with it) that voicemail messages
are accessable from all * servers that have access to that table.

 I'm using the single vmail server, mounted NFS partition for this right now.
 I'd love to be able to have them standalone so they're survivable when the
 WAN collapses, but I haven't figured out transfer.

 Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Voicemail on Different Server
 
 Hi Steve -
 
 Can you elaborate on this, I changed to storing the voicemail via 
 ODBC on MySQL.  Each server had it's own local storage, and then MySQL 
 replicated the databases between the sites.  This setup was terribly 
 finicky and unstable.  It was much worse than the NFS mount.  I 
 quickly gave it up.

 This sounds like it would probably work the best, especially if you 
 have users moving around between offices.  What was so finicky and 
 unstable about it?  I am not one to quickly give up.  I have found 
 that persistence pays off when the idea is sound.
 
 Yeah, I thought I had found the silver bullet with MySQL replication (the
 users do float between offices, so it seemed perfect).  There were a number
 of problems, but in the end it was table corruption as a result of the
 replication process that made me drop this solution.
 
 At the time I set this up, MySQL replication was really designed for one-way
 replication.  Two way replication was possible, but required somewhat
 unorthodox methods.  (Maybe this has changed, I don't know).
 Configuration is also a little tricky.  It's not too bad to set it up
 between two machines, but 3 machines is more tricky, and 4 is even more
 tricky, etc, etc.  This client had only 3 offices at the time, but I knew
 they would be expanding.  They now have 6.
 
 Anyway, after getting everything working, I found that replication would
 periodically stop after some time.  I'd have to re-create the setup, and
 then replication would work for a time, and then stop again later.  This
 occurred across several different version of MySQL.  I suppose I could have
 fixed this issue with persistence, but unfortunately this was only an
 annoyance compared to the major issue of data corruption.
 
 When replication worked, it was inevitable that after a time the voicemail
 storage table would experience data corruption.  Asterisk did not handle
 this gracefully at all.  It was effectively a total DOS.  This also occurred
 across several versions of MySQL.  Sometimes I was able to repair the
 tables, but usually I couldn't, and the users ended up losing quit a lot of
 voicemails.
 
 I did not have the ability to spend the amount of time I needed to fix the
 issue, so I scrapped the whole setup.  Regular local voicemail storage has
 been flawless in all installations I've administered.

as you can see from the dialplan the extension is available:

pipc*CLI dialplan show pipsworld

  '20' =   1. Noop(remco)[IAX2]
  '22' =   1. Noop(tsja) [IAX2]
  '23' =   1. Noop(sipura1_tst)  [SIP]
  '24' =   1. Noop(sipura2_tst)  [SIP]
  '28' =   1. Noop(s450_1)   [SIP]
  '29' =   1. Noop(s450_2)   [SIP]
  'sipura1_lijn' = 1. Noop(sipura1_lijn) [SIP]
  'sipura2_lijn' = 1. Noop(sipura2_lijn) [SIP]

also, tcpdump shows that both dundi-peers are communicating (as does the
dundi debug output).

Any hints?

IN Asterisk 1.4 you could use func_odbc. I guess this will work as well
with mssql as with postgresql, which is quite satisfactory. Also, with
cdr_odbc you could store cdr records in you database.

 any other programming language (PHP, MONO) to acheive the same, but
 then place it locally on the Asterisk side.

I don't know which asterisk version you are running. In version 1.2
there is at least the possibility to store cdr records in an odbc

I'm not sure what you mean. Asterisk can initiate a call, just drop a

I guess you are very new to asterisk. Asterisk is very feature rich.
Check out www.voip-info.org, it is a great resource about asterisk. Also
find the book (on-line) 'Asterisk, the future of telephony' aka
'Asterisk TFOT', it will get you started on asterisk big time if you
want to do the more intresting things as you describe.

the asterisk dialplan matches most specific entries first. So you could
have one set for one or two ditgit internal numbers, one set for 7 digit
local numbers, one set for 10 digit national numbers and one set for n
digit international numbers all starting with an international prefix.

 Have you never run into a situation where you dial +15705551212 for a

Of course, bu then again, a properly designed dialplan will have more
specific entries for internal numbers _XXX which will match 157 but not
15705551212, so if you'd dial 15705551212, asterisk will have to find a
less specific entry in your dialplan to match that to.

  The 9 is
 legacy, yes, but still important, in my opinion, to segregate the
 networks.   You know that anything starting with a 9 is going to go
 outbound, and all of your extentions are then 1xx-8xx.  9anything is
 reserved for going to the PSTN.  Otherwise, you are either going to have
 to have your callers dial 1areacode for everything (and then have your
 extentions 2xx-9xx), that is they can't just dial 5551212, which is a
 pain, or you are going to have overlap.
 
 The 9 may be legacy, but it is somewhat important!

The 9 is legacy, american and IMNSHO completely obsolete. You can leave
it in your dialplan as not to upset those users used to dialing a 9 for
an outside line, but apart from that, it has no use anymore.
