exten = 911,1,GotoIf(${BLACKLIST()}?blacklisted)

Greetings,

 

Is there a way to block a specific inbound number? I’ve found code online for 
blocking all nocallerid and all 800, etc. but nothing for a specific number. My 
company is wanting me to block a specific number. Is this possible in Asterisk 
1.4 and 1.6 or do I need to go through my Service Provider?

 

Thanks,

 Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks.

I've used them in the past and still use the little brother (AS5350XM).
I have no experience with T1s, but I used them to convert EuroISDN E1s
to SIP. They were very stable (I don't think I've ever seen one crash)
but can be a pain when you want to set them up.

These machines were originally designed as modembanks for internet
access so the default config has an interface for every B channel. That
is a pain to browse through the configuration. Grouping them solves this.

Make sure you understand how to route calls using dialpeers, and make
sure you understand this before putting them in service. These are very,
very capable machines with lots of useful configuration options.

Make sure you buy enough DSP channels to cover all simultaneous calls
that need transcoding, we generally bought enough DSP cards so we could
transcode all simultaneous calls. If you add it all up we were actually
buying more DSP channels than E1 channels were available, for some
reason Cisco designed the machine like this, perhaps to cover for slow
call teardowns occupying DSPs too long.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Asterisk server: Console or GUI OS ? Init level 3
or init level 5 ?

 

I'm about to start building my asterisk server and I can't seem to find
anything that discusses the pros and cons of installing the OS (Fedora 15)
as console only or GUI, ie install KDE as well.

So, other than a bit of disk space, is there any reason why I shouldn't
install KDE when I set it up ?

Is there any great disadvantage to running the server in init level 5 (ie
KDE, xorg, etc) running in the background, but not being logged in, versus
init level 3 ? (Or whatever they call these things these days..., ie F15
uses systemd...)

FWIW, my server hardware will sit on a server rack in the utility room.  I
might drag a display and keyboard down there once in a while to troubleshoot
and/or do maintenance, but mostly I'd ssh in and probably use a remote
desktop app to work on it.

FWIW, I'm OK doing things via the CLI, but sometimes its really nice to have
graphical tools.

I look forward to your input.

Thanks

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk server: Console or GUI OS ? Init level 3 or init level 5 ?

2011-09-12 Thread Robert Huddleston
Well you are correct - I did not include a discussion on performance impacts
including disk I/O etc.

 

It is true that by installing a GUI o/s additional init.d (startup) services
will fire.. Additional libraries will be inclusive etc.

 

This is why I say minimal is always better.

 

Also take for example risk mitigation with security aspects. If you minimize
the number of libraries (think windows DLL's) you have installed you also
thus minimize your potential exposure.

 

Again - this is just my recommendation and experience. Firewalls are great
at blocking things and in theory - sure you could nmap your box and look for
open ports and conceal them.

 

I remember a Solaris engineer we had once - he bragged and bragged about his
qualifications on Sun Solaris. Just to find out that he installed a bunch of
GUI tools just so that he could install Oracle drivers. Further he didn't
remove or lock down that exposure.

 

Start minimal and work your way up. Now for my poke / razz - GUI's in server
grade operating systems have made people a little to reliant on them.

Thanks for the reply.  I was worried the list would find it a trite and
irritating question.

I was expecting someone to tell me that even with the GUI component running
in the background, the graphical processes have the potential to mess up the
streams.  I guess I should confess that I'm always a bit surprised to
remember that asterisk doesn't require a real time OS !

Have you really exposed much more if you install the GUI components and
normally run at init 3 ?

Thanks again.

Hello All,

We would like to change our dialplan a bit so that after a user dials a
number (any number, including domestic, international, internal) Asterisk
firsts prompts the user for a PIN before actually allowing the call to go
through.

I know I could setup an IVR that would accomplish this but I'd prefer not to
have the users first call an internal extension before they dial out.  I
want them to be able to dial the destination number directly, have asterisk
intercept and prompt for password, then either allow the call or play a .gsm
file and hangup if the PIN is incorrect.

We are using AELs, and not the exten,x,x format.

Thanks in advance,

Brandon

Asterisk will not provide you with the ability to SMS random cell phones.

Being able to transport the SMS yourself is a grewling process.. Look at
software like Kamel...

Basically you have three options:
( a ) cheat and use the email method - i.e. determine everyone's carrier and
use the email address equivalent
( b ) utilize a 3rd party to transmit the sms for you (cost) and they might
end up doing ( a ) above without you knowing

 Subject: [asterisk-users] Assistance sending mass sms to
 cellphones
 
 Hello.
 
 I would like to know if is possible to send mass sms with
 an php agi script
 through asterisk?
 
 For example: I have about 50 cellphone numbers I would like
 to text whenever
 theres a meeting, I should load the numbers from a database
 and send a
 message via web with php and have asterisk send it.
 
 I've been googling about it but, I get a lot of providers
 that already do
 this but, I would like to learn how to do it myself since
 my budget is very
 minimum.
 
 Thanks in advanced for your help and time.

[asterisk-users] T38 Fax

Anyone have any testing experience with T38 and HT-502 Grandstream?

 

I just want to confirm that t.38 is working on this device.

 

Thanks

You'd be more likely to get relevant responses if you had included the

Yes, it works.

I currently have latest firmware installed and it still works in T.38. I am
using UDP transport for this device as I seem to encounter problems with TCP
or TLS.

I am currently running Asterisk 1.8.5.0.


Product Model: 

  HT-502 V1.1C 


Software Version: 

  Program-- 1.0.5.5Bootloader-- 1.0.0.9Core-- 1.0.5.2Base--
1.0.5.2


Some settings I have set and you may wish to check for the FXS port are;


Force INVITE: 

  (X) No ( ) Yes (Always refresh with INVITE instead of UPDATE)


Send Re-INVITE After Fax: 

  ( ) No (X) Yes 

 


VAD: 

  ( ) No   (X) Yes 


Symmetric RTP: 

  (X) No   ( ) Yes 


Fax mode: 

  (X) T.38 (Auto Detect)   ( ) Pass-Through 


Fax tone detection mode: 

  ( ) Caller   (X) Callee   ( ) Caller or Callee


Jitter buffer type: 

  (X) Fixed   ( ) Adaptive 


Jitter buffer length: 

  (X) Low ( ) Medium   ( ) High 



You will need to ensure you are using redundancy mode instead of FEC.

I am able to send a fax via my voice provider seemingly without errors even
though ECM is not enabled, this is because redundancy mode is working as
expected on the outbound communication.

Unfortunately my voice provider only sends one data item in the incoming
UDPTL hence the occasional missed line.

Here is an extract from my sip.conf

Re: [asterisk-users] MoH - conversion command

2011-07-28 Thread Robert Huddleston
Personally I like to just hook up an old ghetto blaster / boombox to the
line in port on my sound card :)

Kidding aside - I think audio quality for MoH is not always going to sound
as nice as you might want.

I mostly stream online radio over my MoH and the quality is not the
greatest.

Maybe it's my SIP provider - or maybe just the notion of streaming audio
from an internet stream.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Lightning and thunder

 

We are frequently losing power during lightning storms.  (Yes we have UPS,
but often by the time power comes back up the UPS has run out of juice)

 

We are using Asterisk with a T1/PRI card as a front end connected to our
PBX.  Whenever there is a power outage both the Asterisk box and the PBX
automatically reboot when power returns.

 

The Asterisk box automatically reconnects to the ITSP SIP Peer, and the PBX
to the T1/PRI Card Asterisk box.  

 

Incoming calls connect, but outbound calls will not complete until the
Asterisk box is manually rebooted again.

 

Does anyone know of a solution for this issue?  Having to get up in the late
night to manually reboot the Asterisk box is getting old!

 

Thank you,

I agree - using powerchute or another ups software clean shutdown is great.

 

My response was a scripted way to resolve the reboot issue based on what the
writer asked for.

 

Additionally loop wouldn't happen. That's why I wrote echo 1  some file
and if check that file.

This is the right idea - have your UPS write power loss shutdown when it
has to stop the machine, then check for that when you come back up and
reboot when you see it (of course you would need to log something else to
prevent a loop of reboots).

 In a no natted environment if I letnat=yes on sip.conf it would

There is no harm unless the endpoint you are dealing with does not do 
symmetric RTP.  The nat=yes option assumes that it is okay to send RTP 
back to the source port from which it originated, irrespectively of 
what's in the SDP.  This will cause one-way audio if the endpoint 
happens to want to receive RTP on a different port than the one it is 
sending it from.

Almost all endpoints these days do symmetric RTP, though, so it's not 
a huge concern.

That said, from a methodological and aesthetic perspective, it is 
better not to break standard RFC-compliant behaviour unnecessarily. 
Thus, I would not enable nat=yes unless there really is no direct 
network and transport-layer reachability to the endpoint.

 Actually, you can do this with one installation of Asterisk, and a

 executable is started, the '-C' option can be used to point to an
 asterisk.conf file; that file can then tell it where all the other
 config files and the data directories are located.

 If you are using one of the init scripts, then yes, that would need to
 be duplicated and modified.

 How, do you suppose, would the complexity of that compare to chrooting
 two installations?

They are probably equal in terms of complexity and effort required; just 
different methods.

Baby steps.  Success is not built overnight; you have to work your way 
up the totem pole of fleecing people.  Start small: persistently ask 
basic, RTFM-grade newbie questions while assigning yourself pompous, 
self-aggrandising titles like Asterisk Engineer.

Keep it up, and you'll be crashing national economies with

Really, building packages from source *IS* *NOT* *HARD*, and it doesn't even

take long anymore  (on any target system with the grunt to run Asterisk).  
The only thing to beware of is, if configure complains that you need a 
package that you already have, then you need the corresponding -devel

Hi

 

Like we can define cdr field format for csv, is it possible to define if

Also, what will be size limit for database CDR storage ?

The support contract from Cisco is only US $8.99 on CDW

I really hate to link to my own blog, but I do have a post on there that
details how to setup a 79x1 phone using SIP firmware with asterisk.  Click
the link in my signature and go to the Blog and you should be able to easily
find the relevant post.

Two requests, not from me but the community.

1.  Don't top post


*cough*
 

2.  When you find your solution, reply to this thread so others will be
(silver) spoon fed the answers and blindly accept them without trying things
and going through a learning curve and experimentation when they find your
post in Google.


I hear some people are actually deploying their asterisk solutions in war
zones and are taking heavy fire while they're looking for answers - seems
like it would make their life a whole lot easier (and safer!) if people
posted simple responses on this list when suggestions worked for them...

LOL at the haters.

1.  It was joke for those with senses of humor and know me (Randy got it),
but I top post when others do.  I bottom post when others do.  I just go
with the flow.  I am not uptight about it.

2.  I have never heard that but it may be true.  

Personally, I have been shot at on top the Iraqi Government building in the
IZ from the Red Zone.  I was setting up and troubleshooting the Motorola
Canopy WiFi system.  Just a few 7.62x39 rounds, nothing I would call heavy
fire.

The only Heavy Fire I took was standing on top of one of the buildings at
the FOB trying to trace a cable and the ricochets from the firing range were
landing all over the place.  That happens when 30 guys are training with AKs
and a T-Wall as the backstop.

I have deployed Asterisk systems in war zones many times, in West African
countries, Iraq, Baltimore and South East DC.  I would certainly seek
shelter/defensive position if there was gun play.  LOL, you can wish
yourself into a gun fight but you cannot wish yourself out. 


It would also be a whole lot easier for someone to physically feed me so my
hands could be free to work in hostile environments, maybe an LN can bring
me a portable toilet and make sure it is fresh, that would make everything
so easy and easy is what we all want.

Heck, I could just set it up at the FOB and then deploy it.

At any rate, I asked the guy to post his success, so I am not sure why you
posted, but thanks.  It only takes 10% truth to make a legend.

Thanks,
Steve T

I only need 4 fxs. I looked at the IAD2431 but it uses T1/E1 as WAN. If I
could assign Fast Ethernet to WAN that would be great. Budget is not that
great

Cisco Gateways can do ground start signaling. What is your budget and port

Re: [asterisk-users] Ground Start ATA / VOIP Gateway

2011-06-14 Thread Robert Huddleston
Ya - customer is on a nice NEC SV8100.. The card is a ground start card..
they are currently being fed by a Cisco IAD2431 w/ RJ-21 punchdown
cross-connect.

 

But that IAD2431 uses T1/E1 as WAN.. They are doing away with the T1 and
want to use Ethernet for wan.

 

So IAD2431 would be great - but if it only allows T1/E1 for WAN - I'm shot.

I don't know of any ATA that will do GS
An RJ-21 is the designation for a 66 block with 25 pair connector on the
side
GS is available with many channel banks though a T1 card and channel bank
might be overkill for your application.
Is this to go into a legacy switch?
Most have line cards that can be easily switched to Loop 

Is this in the US, or ???

The SV8100 can do either ground or loop
Assuming you can access the system it can easily be changed.

Programming manual here:

http://www.telecomcepts.com/downloads/SV8100/SV8100 Programming Manual_1.pdf

the original installer may have locked it down, but it CAN be changed.
