Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 SIP Images
want a different software load (SIP vs. SCCP), let me know. There are legitimate ways to do all these things.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Documentation
According to [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Does anybody have any thoughts on this plan, or better ideas? Negative/positive thoughts about Doxygen? Most importantly, is anyone else working on something along these lines already? Daniel, Documentation is much-needed, and I'm glad to hear that there's someone else working on it. I'm working privately on an Asterisk Guide, with a target audience of administrators and users. Aside from the AGI interface for integration with basic scripting languages, I'm not focusing at all on documenting Asterisk code development. It's not something I understand well myself, the target audience of Asterisk developers is small relative to admins and users, and development is already well-supported with the Asterisk-Dev list. Printed documentation seems most lacking for new users wanting to install Asterisk and set up a basic dialplan. By my estimation, many of the newcomers interested to Asterisk will have some basic knowledge of Unix or Linux, familiarity with the concept of OpenSource, and a willingness to try. I plan to provide a book that will guide them to a successful, usable installation with diagrams, examples, and design hints. The handbook, the wiki, the mailing list, and various personal websites with asterisk tips and examples are a great help, but separately do not provide a cohesive resource for teaching or reference. Frequently on the mailing list we see questions that are answered in one resource, while the well-intentioned newbie was looking at other Asterisk resources. I am attempting to write a comprehensive guide for administrators and users. rm - Roderick Montgomery [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL:http://thecomplex.com/ the fool stands only to fall, but the wise trip on grace...

According to Troy Settle: Why do they do that? Quite possibly because they, like myself, hate having to scroll through pages and pages of quotes to get to the reply, which isn't always clear where it might start. Troy, you're not complaining about bottom-posting; you're complaining about folks that don't trim their quotes down to context. See how I left out all of your previous post except the relevant question above? You only need to quote enough of the previous message to gain context for the reply -- only lazy folks quote the entire message, reposting the entire thread with every new reply.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] PHP Gui for Asterisk (AGI questions)
According to James Sizemore: Problem will all XML configs: 1. They are nearly imposable for a human to read, for any non trivial config. It's about like reading HTML source -- it doesn't have prose-like flow, but it can be read and understood without a complex editor. In my experience, the editor's most crucial function isn't convenience, it's enforcing the XML DTD so a syntax mistake doesn't break or confuse your application. 3. I personal find it easer to parse a human readable config file, then deal with any XML library that I have ever seen. As do many other asterisk administrators. In my small-scale asterisk system, it's not a problem to deal with asterisk's config format. But when scaling up to a large network, I could see the need to develop tools specifically for asterisk Configuration Management (CM). Currently, any management scripts would need to deal properly with asterisk's unique config format. XML might assuage this possible future headache. Said another way, I didn't know about CM tools when I first learned Cisco's IOS using a couple low-end routers. I didn't really want to deal with the overhead of CM when I managed a network of a dozen or so Cisco routers. However, the CM idea became spiffy when my network grew to about 60 network elements, and absolutely necessary when consulting for a global route-switched network of hundreds of network elements. 5. So what was the point of XML again? They is none! Tell that to the folks that have used XML to escape the hell that is EDI. XML makes a lot of sense when data needs to be freely exchanged between/ among environments that do not otherwise share a common data schema. So far, nobody has described another environment with which asterisk config data should be shared... so yes, XML seems a buzzword for buzzword's sake at this point. I suggest that since many asterisk configs are read only at startup, the benefit of having XML configs is somewhat limited to configs that respond to the reload CLI command. Further, asterisk-familiar programming resources are constrained to a small group of folks, whose time is quite valuable both to their companies and to asterisk users that await hard features and bug fixes. XML config support falls WAY down on the priority list from where I'm standing. If XML is important to your needs, why not write a translation script to parse XML and write the asterisk configs? Scripting languages abound and are appropriate to the task. Obviously, the transaltion script could grab your XML and write fresh asterisk configs every time you started asterisk.

[Asterisk-Users] Mailing List Archives for new lists?
The list archives at URL:http://www.marko.net/asterisk/archives/ seem to've stopped archiving message on Feb 13. Will the new messages to asterisk-dev and asterisk-users be in a separate archive, or the old message somehow merged into a new archive? I know it's not a top priority, but having a searchable history of the mailing list is about the best ongoing documentation we have. =] Thanks, rm - Roderick Montgomery [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL:http://thecomplex.com/ the fool stands only to fall, but the wise trip on grace...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Intergrate with MySQL
According to Ajit Kallingal:
Hello All,
Can the current Asterisk be integrated with mySQL to query a database ?
I am looking at a typical IVR scenario where the user punches a product
code and the database query will determine if the product is available or
not. The reply would be number of items available , else none.
Sure, something like the following AGI script would work. Just grab the Perl
AGI module from URL:http://asterisk.gnuinter.net/, drop the following in
your extensions.conf...
exten = s,1,Answer
exten = s,2,Wait,1
exten = s,3,AGI,script.agi
...and put the following as script.agi in /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin:
---
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Asterisk::AGI;
use DBI;
my $AGI = new Asterisk::AGI;
my %input = $AGI-ReadParse();
### Play welcome.gsm, greeting the caller
$AGI-stream_file('welcome');
### Play product-code-prompt.gsm, instructing the caller to enter the
### product code, then allow ten seconds to enter four-digits
$prodcode = $AGI-get_data('product-code-prompt',1,4);
$quantity = quan_by_code($prodcode);
if ($quantity != 0) {
$AGI-stream_file('there-are');
$AGI-say_digits($quantity);
$AGI-stream_file('available');
} else {
$AGI-stream_file('none-available');
}
$AGI-stream_file('goodbye');
$AGI-hangup;
exit;
sub quan_by_code {
### Takes a product code as input, then returns the quantity available.
my $code = shift;
my $dbh = open_connection();
my $sql = SELECT code, quantity FROM product WHERE code=\'$code\' LIMIT 1;
my $sth = $dbh-prepare($sql);
$sth-execute or die Unable to execute SQL query: $dbh-errstr\n;
my $row = $sth-fetchrow_arrayref;
$sth-finish;
$dbh-disconnect;
if ( ($code == $row-[0]) ($code != 0) ) {
return $row[1];
} else {
return 0;
}
}
sub open_connection {
my $dsn = mysql:dbname:localhost;
my $username = 'dbusername';
my $password = 'dbpassword';
return DBI-connect(DBI:$dsn,$username,$password) or die $DBI::errstr;
}
---
Of course, you'll need to record prompts and responses for:
welcome
product-code-prompt
there-are
available
none-available
goodbye
Hope this get you started,

Re: [Asterisk-Users] X100P question about odd behavior
According to Jim Archer: Well, the line has two pairs on it, on the red/green pair and the blk/yellow pair. I am not sure which pins those correspond to on the connector so I'm sure your right (it seems the inner pins are one pair and the outer pins another). I once heard a phone wiring tech mumble the following mnemonic, and I've never been able to forget it: Christmas Tree, Bumble Bee. The red and green pair is for the primary line (the inner two pins), and the yellow and black pair is for the seconadry line (the outer two pins). rm - Roderick Montgomery [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL:http://thecomplex.com/ the fool stands only to fall, but the wise trip on grace...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Known SIP - NAT Solutions?
According to Jon Pounder: When situations like this arise all the time, why is there such a delay in getting ipv6 rolled out when it solves all these problems ? How does IPv6 solve address translation problems? If you mean to suggest that more addresses would eliminate the need for NAT, understand that address scarcity is not the only reason for address translation. Not wanting to start a nanog-style flamewar, there are plenty of IPv4 addresses rotting away, unused. Even if IPv6 were fully deployed, we'd still see address translation for basement multihoming, smooth network migration, and brain-dead security on the cheap. And there would still be uber-paranoid firewalls that are misconfigured or policy-bound to be hostile to SIP and h.323 traffic. Other services have demonstrated that SIP can be successful with a user agent behind an IPv4 NAT. I'm glad to read that work is being done to allow asterisk to deal with NATted user agents; my ATA-186 is about to declare civil war against my NATting wireless access point. rm - Roderick Montgomery [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL:http://thecomplex.com/ the fool stands only to fall, but the wise trip on grace...
