Gents,

First, let me apologize for cross-posting and for posting off topic.
Cross post was only to reach members of one list that may not be on the
other.

Those of you that know me, know that I don't post off topic very often,
let alone put out a list wide request for help. however, a client of
mine is part of a rather large webhost company. You all may have read
that there is a new exploit that can be run against users of outlook 
internet explorer, using VML. Once the exploit is run, it not only
allows code to be run on the client machine, but apparently it spreads
itself across servers connected to the now infected _SERVER_. This
problem is currently spreading across a huge number of hosting
companies, and I've been asked to use any and all contacts I can to get
help with trying to find a resolution. Currently, verisign, paypal, and
quite a few other companies are assisting us and others, but this is
about to reach critical mass.

If anyone thinks they may be able to help, please contact me ASAP. In
case you don't know me by this email, but maybe by a previous list email
(that is no longer used because I don't work there anymore), my previous
list email(s) is/are:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank you all for your consideration, and I must apologize profusely for
needing to resort to these lists, but I don't have many other contacts I
can connect with other than via this list.

[asterisk-users] Polycom 501 - How to set handset Volume

2006-07-26 Thread calvis

I have a customer who is HOH (Hard of Hearing) and needs the volume on his
handset set to the maximum volume level.  Currently he has to manually set
the volume to the max on every phone call that he makes which is a pain.
How do I set the volume to the max and have the phone remember that volume
setting for all future calls?

[Asterisk-Users] Odd Polycom Dialing Problem

2006-01-17 Thread calvis


I am starting to play around with my first Polycom phone.  I have it
registered to my asterisk box, but the problem is dialing.  When I try to
dial with the handset I get my provider telling me that they can not
complete my call afterwards Allison pops in and tells me all circuits are
busy and can not complete my call.

However, if I punch in the numbers and then hit the dial button the call
completes with no problem.

Does anyone have a clue what is going on?  This is a SoundPoint IP 601 phone
and I am using Asterisk at Home 2.2.

Modify or delete the digitmap. The digitmap allows the phone to
intelligently detect numbers dialed (and presumably save the user from
hitting send after a specified number of seconds). The digitmap is
available on the web interface under SIP and Local Settings. The
default is:

[2-9]11|0T|011xxx.T|[0-1][2-9]x|[2-9]x|[2-9]xxxT

We pass all digits to Asterisk, which handles it intelligently.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Stay away from Grandstream!

away from Grandstream!







We have 50 Grandstream's that we purchased about 3 months ago.
They're all at one site and we've had nothing but trouble with all the
phones. The echo is the worst problem of all. We had to upgrade
from the default 1.0.1.9 firmware to the 1.0.1.12 betato get the
speakerphone to work properly. Once we did that, there is now abad
echo if one of the GXP users turns their volume up too high, the other party
can hearan echo. If the GXPuser turns their volume down a
bit, the echo starts to go away. This happens internally from GXP to GXP
as well as with outside callers. At first Grandstream didn't want to
admit that they knew about this or that they'd even ever heard of this problem
before. But they finally at least said they would have an engineer check
into it. Then after some research onlineI come to find that lots of
people are having the echo issue with the newer firmware and they had also
notified Grandstream months ago. So they know about the problem. 











On top of the echo issue, which is completely unacceptable, we've had a
couple phones flat out die, we've had several that had the PoE go dead so we
were forced to use the AC adapter. And many of the other phones suffer
from all kinds of stupid little intermittent issues such as dropped
calls,rebootsand strange ticking and static on the line, even on
internal calls. We discovered that quite a few of the network cables that
came with the phones seemed to be faulty, which when replacing them seemed to
solvesome of our dropped calls and spontaneous reboot problems.
Some of the phones hadbad handset cables. Replacing some of those
seemed to get rid of some of the static issues. We've replaced several of
the really troublesome phones with Cisco's or Polycom's, and what do you know,
no problems whatsoever. 











All in all, we have been extremely disappointed in the reliability of
the phones and especially unhappy with the level of service from Grandstream.
Grandstream should not be permitted to sell these phones to consumers, marketed
as a business class phone of all things! They're knowingly selling a
faulty product.It's outrageous. And what's even more amazing
is they claim that the GXP2000 won some sort of award, and it's even a
Best Seller at Atacomm.com.
How it the world can that be. The phone is a piece of crap. They're
either going to fix these problems once and for all or give us our money back.











Here's a good page regarding many of these issues... including the
echo.. argh...

For 24 ports the LinkSys SRW2024 is awesome.
They street for less than $500 and have good QoS.
For a smaller switch, they make a 12 port variant.

And, if it were, that has nothing to do with profit.  You can make 1 mil
in sales in a year but still walk away with a net loss.

Without the community where would digium be? Don't know, probably doing
the same but in a proprietary format, giving people no choice but to
shell out the big bucks.

I for one am happy they started up the project, and if they did in turn
make Asterisk proprietary, I would probably shell out the cash since it

 Just so you know, Digium doesn't recommend using this server (or a
 number of others from Dell).  I think this is mainly because you
 can't choose IRQ's in the BIOS, and your Digium card may end up
 sharing an IRQ with an onboard device like the ethernet interface or
 the disk controller.  To get around this, you can usually switch your
 Digium card to another open PCI slot.  There may be other reasons
 that Digium doesn't recommend using Dell servers.  You might want to
 ask them.

 - Noah

I discovered that SC in Dell parliance means Simplified Configuration.
Or in other words, limited control of IRQ's. There is also some meaning
to the 2nd digit that inferred PCI2.1 and PCI2.2 but I don't recall
what the formula is. Maybe someone else knows.

For the record, I have an 1400SC which performs flawlessly for
everything _except_ asterisk as I can't get my X100P not to share. For
general purpose computing I am a huge Dell fan on quality, performance
and price point but this disappoints me.

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Sighting

2004-08-03 Thread calvis
I just got my copy of 'VON Magazine' and there is a 1 page article about
Asterisk titled, SIP at RISK and Asterisk.  Here is a small quote:

NAT is the place where SIP messes up the worst-an IP address in the payload
of a SIP signaling packet, generated on one side of a NAT, is likely to be

[Asterisk-Users] Astricon Payment

Hi Olle,

I registered for Astricon on Saturday and I did not get the early bird
discount even though it calculated correctly on the home page.  I went ahead
and paid and I appreciate it if you could give me the discount refund back
to me via PayPal.

I was just in Atlanta and stayed at the Marriott Marquis. It was a nice
hotel but it was not cheep. I spent 200 for a last minute booking.
However, there is a train that runs from the airport and terminates a
block away. (5$ one way)

The Hilton and Hyatt are next door.

 Has anyone really looked at the costs for Astricon.  But the hotel

 air port for almost half that. 
 
 In addition from what I have been told their will be no shuttle
 service from the Airport to the hotel.
 
 Anyone else have any input on this?
 
 Guys, the hotel costs are $111.00 including tax per night.
 That is actually very reasonable for a decent hotel.  I'm
 willing to bet that the place you found for 1/2 the cost of
 the Marriott is not capable of hosting a conference for 150 - 200
 people. 

The Marriott Marquis (assume that's where it's going to be held) is a
decent hotel. Plus, the upstairs bar sometimes has nice ammenities. :)

 As for the shuttle service, I have spoken with the hotel
 manager and she tells me we can get airport transportation
 set up for $20.00 each way.  (We negotiated a $5 discount off
 the normal $25.)  So if you want to avoid the rental car
 expense, we can arrange transportation for an additional $40.00.

As other's have mentioned, MARTA (local light rail service) goes right
from the airport baggage claim into downtown. You're 2 blocks max from
the hotel. $1.75 per trip can't be beat.

Now that I know it's in town, I'll see about attending myself.

I found out by another 400SC user and you can not control assign interrupts
on the PCI slots on this machine.   Does that point bother you if you are
going to run this unit with *?   I want to put 3 X100P cards and 1 TDM400P

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] ultra-cheap asterisk box



I'm looking to do about the same thing, build very low cost
systems.  (I'm looking at putting Asterisk at some
non-profit organizations.)   but one thing you can't make
a compromise on is reliabilty.  It has to work and keep working
for years to come.  I was able to keep the price of a new PC
to about $300 ad still use an ASUS mainboard and an AMD XP2600+
The trick is to add absolutly nothing not needed.  No floppy,
no CDROM so you can run off a 200W P/S.  Next I'll experiment
with a notebook sized IDE disk drives and to see if _underclocking_
the CPU reduces it's power comsumption enough that we can save
one fan.

Ideally Asterisk will be ported one day to Linux/ARM or some
other very low cost platform.  for VOIP you do not need the
PCI slots.  In theory Asterisk could run on a Lynksys router
box with re-flashed EEPROM.  After all Lynksys' latest wireless
router runs Linux inside

Low cost to me means low total cost of ownership  To get this
I don't think buying the lowest priced parts is the way to go.
I want quality mainboard, and a quality power supply and, this
is importernt:  A low internal case temperature.  for this reason
I'll spend the extra $50 to go with Antec cases and ASUS mainboards
over the generic ones.

What I'm finding is that the PCs are so cheap that the cost of
electric power to run them is now a large part of the cost.
(assume 0.20/kwh times 200W times 365 days = $350.  So you
pay for the PC again every year in electric power to run it.
Worse.  In an office with airconditioning _all_ of that PC's
200W goes to heat and your A/C unit will use about 220W of
power to remove that 200W of heat.)
and at a small office they will not have a server room so noise
from the fan is an issue.

[Asterisk-Users] Hardware for Asterisk

2004-01-15 Thread calvis


I am real close to finalizing my hardware selection for my Asterisk test
machine.   I am going to use the following hardware:

Dell 400SC w\Red Hat 9.0

1 - 4 Port TDM40B Card (FXS)
3 - Wildcard X100P Cards (FXO)


Are there any known conflicts using this setup in this machine?   I will be
occupying all the PCI slots for this configuration.   Also, is it worth the
trouble to tie Asterisk into our present system which is a Panasonic D816
Hybrid System, or should I just dump our current Panasonic system all
together?   

Thanks,

[Asterisk-Users] OT: Calculating Bandwith

2004-01-07 Thread calvis

I am trying to calculate bandwidth needs.  Is 1 T1 Line able to provide
488.5 Gigabytes of traffic for 1 month based on a 30 day week?   I did my
calculation as follows:

1.544 mps * number of seconds in a minute(60) * number of minutes in a hour
(60) * number of hours in a day(24) * number of days in a month(30) =
4002048 megabits / 1024 = (3908.25 gigabits)  / 8 = (488.53125 gigabytes) of
bandwidth for a T1 Line.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,

I would like to upgrade to a channel bank, and was wondering if anyone has
had any echo issues with other digium hardware.
the t100 connected to a channel bank will not gurantee no echo,
but from experience I do have 2 solutions that removed 100% of the echo from
my installations


1) CAC ADIT 600 channel bank, 8 port FXO cards with what CAC call adaptive
impedance matching
 I had both a x100 and a t100 and an adtran ta-750 that both produce
echo connect to my local PSTN
 when i tried the ADIT 600 with 8 port FXO connect to my analog line ALL
perceived echo
 vanished, I still had the echo can settings in zaptel turned on

2) Install an Inline T1 hardware echo can between the T100 card and the
channel bank T1 interface
I took that same adtran ta-750 that gave echo on the analog lines and
installed a TellLabs 2572 64ms
hardware echo card, turned off all zaptel echo settings, and All
perceived echo vanished

My personal belief is that the hit and mis echo on the x100/x101 cards is
caused by the impedance mismatch
between these cards and different Telco lines, the zaptel stuff tries to fix
this echo after the
fact  the current algorithms will not converge in a sub-second time frame

[Asterisk-Users] I stumbled on this list...

2004-01-05 Thread calvis

Hi there,

I stumbled on this list mostly by accident.  I came across Asterisk * as a
means to help me get a better handle on my soaring telephone costs.  Each
month I look at my phone bills and my stomach just turns because I can not
find any competition to Verizon which is the local anointed phone company
around here.

Since I am a neophyte at all this I was wondering if some kind soul would
confirm/disconfirm my assumptions about this software called Asterisk *.   

1)  Am I correct to assume that there is a way to dump Verizon and strictly
go VOIP in a SOHO situation?   

2) Can 1-800 numbers terminate to a VOIP assigned number?

3) With VOIP am I under the assumption that one must also purchase licenses
for such service to work.

4) Who are the companies I can purchase VOIP service from?  I need numbers
in my local area code, plus I need some kind of unlimited VOIP service Asia
- mainly to Taiwan.

5) Am I being unrealistic in my savings by implementing an Asterisk * PBX in
our SOHO situation.


Thanks for helping this person out.

Regards,

Charles Alvis
