Easy.  Do *not* have an exten = line in your PRI incoming context that
matches the number you want SIT to be played for.  At least for Bell 
Canada
PRIs, * will return  something along the lines of no number here and 
Bell

will take care of notifying the calling party.

e.g. if your DID block is 555-1000 to 555-1010 and you want 555-1001 
to appear

out of service:

exten = 5551000,1,DoSomething()
exten = 5551002,1,DoSomething()
exten = 5551003,1,DoSomething()
exten = 5551004,1,DoSomething()

exten = 5551008,1,DoSomething()
exten = 5551009,1,DoSomething()
exten = 5551010,1,DoSomething()

(note the total absence of 5551001)



Or you can have additional control (If your using the CVS version) with:

exten = 5551001,1,SetVar(PRI_CAUSE=1)

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Sangoma VS. Digium

2005-04-07 Thread Timothy Costello
Hi;
Just to a a little perspective.  The closest equivalent Dialogic board 
(i.e. connects 4 T1's to a pci bus) is just under $7000 USD per board. 
Now while this isn't comparing apples to apples since the Dialogic 
board has more onboard processing services it does give a reference 
data point.  The Digium board at just under $1500 USD looks quite good 
based on that comparison...

I hate to say that, but the problem is that Digium doesn't do this.
They allow resellers to do market dumping, by not imposing fixed

services directly to end users.
In this way they're destroying they're own reseller network
and there's no commercial gain into supporting the end user
(as resellers).
Resellers are almost universally a useless money-sink. Most add no 
value
at all, they are simply another logistics point. Distributors, on the
other hand, are usually very knowlegable and are able to support their
customers (the resellers) quite well.

My advice: always *always* buy from as early in the channel as 
possible.
Prices are better and the support is _way_ better.

Of course, if you are not familiar with the problem space for which 
you
are purchasing a solution then resellers can add a lot of value.

Hi
We have bought 5 snom 190 hardphones and I'm in the process of setting 
up some dynamic configuration scripts
for the phones to pull their config from via HTTP.

I'm having problems passing settings to the phone with the '' 
character in it. I want to be able to set the Function
keys to specifc destinations. In the PDF file that describes how to do 
this, it states that the '' character is treated
as a comment. Is this only the case when its the first non-white space 
char found on a line, or is it true for any
position in the resulting data being passed to the phone.

I'm currently using snom190-3.56m-SIP-j.bin firmware on the phones.
A sample of the resulting output from the configuration script:
===
fkey0!: line
fkey1!: line
fkey2!: dest sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];user=phone
fkey3!: dest sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];user=phone
fkey4!: dest sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];user=phone
===
The 190s seem to ignore all fkey settings. The existing setting in the 
phone that I have from
manually configuring the phone earlier remains and dosn't become 
overwritten.

Also, how can I get hold of the Alpha/Beta firmware for the 190s?
Cheers,

It might help to have a little more info on your application.  The

The ring voltage can be configured. Try setting the module parameter

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Digium T100P T1 Card

On Jan 5, 2005, at 11:23 AM, Wiley Siler wrote:
snip
To further explain my siutation, I should give you some more background
on my setup.  My current setup has an AdTran 616 on the wall breaking
out my 6 analog lines and delivering my data to the office.  I have two
TDM400P cards receiving 6 analog lines which are used for both fax and
voice.  I have had numerous problems with this ISP and I just want to
get away as soon as possible.  Problem is, I have a contract that won't
expire for a while so I need to use these lines for something.  The ISP
wants a contract extension and some setious cash to do the upgrade.
Better to just seek alternate service.
I originally bought my T100P thinking I would get digital lines and all
the goodies involved.  Then budget constraints and an ISP that wants 
too
much to convert me to Digital lead to a temporary solution.  I would 
use
the analog lines for a while longer.  Well, that has run its course and
I have to get to something more stable.  The PRI card looks pretty good
at this point.

So getting back to the T1 PRI issue (and I am playing catch up here), 
my
goal is to just deliver new service into this office over my T100P and
just dump nothing but fax out those old lines.  That way I can reserve
the digitals for our truly important calls and still reap the benefit 
of
having those old analog lines.
Large Snip
So to summarize:
Currently you have a T1 from an ISP, this ISP is currently delivering 6 
analog FXS phone ports and delivering fractional T1 internet access 
over the Ethernet ports on the Adtran 616.

To help clear up an issue that may have confused others, all the lines 
you have are delivered in digital form the Adtran converts the 6 phone 
channels to analog.

In theory (from reading mailing list not from personal exp.) the Adtran 
could be replaced by a Linux box with a T100P and Asterisk (probably 
without any config changes on the ISP end).

1) Most PRI T-1's in the US are set up as NI2 even if the actual switch

2) Correct
3) As far as I know zttool is it in asterisk. But then w/my install it

4) When an incoming call is presented on the PRI you will get some

it... i.e. if the DID range the telco has assigned you is (555) 
555-1100 thru (555) 555-1199 they will probably just send you the last

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] New T100P Pri install suggestions?

In the next week or so, we'll be turning up a new T1 Pri from Cox 
Cable
in Omaha using a T100P (installed but not yet configured). While
discussing
the interface parameters with a very knowledgable Cox engineer, we 
decided
on some of the basics including b8zs, esf, dchan=24, callerid, 5 
digits
of called number forwarded to *, and switchtype=national (NI2). They
indicated their CO switch is a DMS500 that is compatible with several
different switchtypes including 5ess, dms100, etc. * will clock sync
from this pri.

This system also has a tdm04b (4-port fxo) installed and working, and 
is
expected to remain after the t100p is implemented. Zttool can see both
cards
at the moment.
Questions:
1. Is a switchtype=national (NI2) a reasonable choice, or are there 
other
types that others have found to be more usable/stable with * in the 
US?

2. Since the current system has a working tdm04b defined as fxsks=1-4 
in
/etc/zaptel.conf, how will I know when implementing the t100p whether
those b-channels should be 5-28 or 1-23? (eg, which card has channel 
1?
It almost appears that defining the span= first with bchan=1-23 and
follow it with fxsks=25-28 (for the tdm04b), is about the only way to
do that without creating ambiguity for the reader.) Is that a 
reasonable
approach or assumption?

3. Other then zttool, what other methods have others found useful for
diagnosing layer 1  2 type issues remotely during an initial pri 
install?
(After ensuring layer 1/2 functionality, I'm assuming 'pri debug', 
etc,
is most appropriate for diagnosing higher layer and dialplan issues.)

4. In very general terms, when passing incoming pri calls to a 
specific
extensions.conf context, is using 'exten = s,1...' a reasonable way
to handle inbound calls initially? (Is the 'called number' passed in
EXTEN like it is with sip calls?)

Any other tips/tricks for handling an initial pri installation?

If you are on a PRI, there is no time penalty in call setup to send the
entire phone number. In fact, it is beneficial to have the full number
as it reduces conflicts later on if you ever want to add numbers. Not 
to
mention you will make your telco provider much happier if they don't
have to come up with consecutive phone numbers but rather can pull from
any current gaps and possibly across exchange numbers.

If you are on an EM Wink where the number is transmitted via DTMF or
MF, you will find a time penalty for each digit transmitted and
therefore you will want to keep the number of digits low. OF course if
you are choosing EM wink, it is possible you aren't wanting to use any
of the advance features of the PRI and/or are hamstrung by some other
limitation outside of asterisk.
Very true! But most likely you will have to specifically request the 10 
digit number, by default most telcos (as evidenced by prior postings 
and my experiences
with SBC :-) will give you 4 digits.

PRI is definitely the way to go if only for the speed of call setup. 
Other nice features are the ability to send a PRI hangup cause, so if a 
given DID is not in use you can signal Out of Service just like the 
telco... I'm sure there are many more!

testing/looking at this
software? I only see these two (affordable) options for testing:

Buy an ISDN BRI interface board, use it and test it then throw it 
away.
     (This option wouldl give me two lines to test with, which would 
be nice.)
Buy an analog board and use a dedicated line.
  (I think we only have one incoming line that I could use for 
testing. OR, could I
   use the two POTS ports from our ISDN router and in effect just use 
the two
   ISDN data lines as POTS lines?
In the long run I think the ISDN BRI interface board will teach you 
more as you will have access to full and reliable call progress and get 
a much better idea of how fast connections are established etc.  I used 
the TDM400P and the X100P for my Proof of Concept testing and then 
switched to a ISDN PRI via T100P for deployment and it took a while to 
get used to and adapt to.

On an analog interface dialing out onto the PSTN asterisk assumes the 
call is answered (unless call progress is turned on but that is still 
not 100% reliable). Whereas on an ISDN connection it knows what the 
state of the line is (i.e. Ringing / Answered / Busy etc).

Also on analog incoming call you don't get DNIS so they get dumped into 
the s extension in the context you define. On ISDN you will get the 
DNIS and have to parse it in the dialplan.

All of this is valuable experience for when you get the T1-PRI for the 
new location. It will speed up you deployment a lot!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] searching for a nifty solution for different outgoing msn depending on the sip-user

our asterisk server is currently connected via 4 isdn trunks to our 
main pbx using it as a voip gateway for homeworkers.

currently this is the dial command for outgoing calls
   exten = _., 1, Dial,CAPI/141:${EXTEN}
what i like to do, is giving each sip-user a different outgoing msn 
(the 141 in the example above).

the only solution i found, is to put each user into a different 
context, but this leads to a very complex and error-prone 
extentions.conf.

is there a niftier solution?
Well I'm not sure it's niftier but how about:
exten = _.,1,SetVar(MSN=${CALLERID:7:3})
exten = _.,2, Dial,CAPI/${MSN}:${EXTEN}
Assuming that the 3 least significant digits of their callerid (from 
sip.conf) is equal to the MSN you want. If not use a database get keyed 
by thier sip callerid...

Just an idea...

If you look over the list again, you will see that questions that get
ignored tend to get the entire list flamed for not being helpful.
No one here tries to run people off but you will rarely see a message
where we treat any one with kid gloves. If a person requires this kind
of treatment, they will have to pay a vendor to deal with their system
and their personality problems.
As for the documentation complaint, just because there isn't a book
called asterisk for dummies yet doesn't mean there isn't
documentation. The current documentation requires work on the part of
the newbie to get at. The wiki is fleshing out nicely. The old  
handbooks
still exist. There is over 2 years of mailing list traffic to document
the system.

Learning takes time and effort. Asking questions here short circuits  
the
time and effort. We answer these questions to help out, but sometimes
our answers are meant to eliminate dead ends. Maybe they are not as  
nice
as you or others would like, but later when you have the knowledge to
share you can decide how to dole it out. Extremely few of us have
received our knowledge from source that aren't otherwise available to
all. So you as well as everyone else here have a great chance of
becoming a peer or better yet surpassing some of us.

A couple comments. One reason people on the list get testy is that this  
comes up every 1-2 months:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2003-November/ 
027775.html

and somewhere (maybe on the wiki) should be a link to ESR's How to Ask  
Smart Questions: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I know it's been posted to the list several times. It should be part of  
the FAQ to read it before asking questions...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] loading dialogic drivers

2003-09-19 Thread Timothy Costello
I've had problems with Dialogic apps using GlobalCall with similar
symptoms, I had to type export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/dialogic/lib/libgc.so
before running them. Maybe Mark's answer solves that problem also...

 Need to have chan_dialogic.so = yes in the [globals]

  Indeed, gcdb_InsertLinedev is not defined in libicapi. It is defined in
  libgc, which is linked to chan_dialogic.
 
  Anyone has seen this before?
