[asterisk-users] Block outbound calls based on IP address
We are looking to further secure our Asterisk installation by inspecting the IP address that a SIP INVITE comes from and performing some logic to determine whether the call should proceed. The purpose of this is to prevent calls to certain expensive destinations if the SIP message is coming from a foreign IP that we don't expect. I can see that it's possible to use the SIP_HEADER function however that may not contain the public IP address. For example here is an invite from the external IP address 58.28.1.1 but that information is not contained in the SIP header: U 58.28.1.1:5060 - 203.89.1.1:5060 INVITE sip:1...@domain.com SIP/2.0..Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 192.168.1.103:5060;branch=z9hG4bK-d8754z-fc116e03a80ef774-1---d8754z-;rport. .Max-Forwards: 70 ..Contact: sip:000333082261336@192.168.1.103:5060..To: sip:1...@domain.com..From: sip:000333082261...@domain.com;tag=7 dcb1e4d..Call-ID: NDMyZmRhY2Q4ZjNhMjAxMDJhOTA3OTU0MzMyNTkzNjI...CSeq: 1 INVITE..Allow: INVITE, ACK, CANCEL, OPTIONS, BYE, REFER, NOTIFY, MESSAGE, SUBSCRIBE, INF O..Content-Type: application/sdp..Supported: replaces..User-Agent: X-Lite release 5.0.0 stamp 67284..Content-Length: 217v=0..o=- 12988751314362048 1 IN IP4 192.168.1.103..s=CounterPath X-Lite 5.0.0..c=IN IP4 192.168.1.103..b=AS:1638..t=0 0..m=audio 5062 RTP/AVP 0 8 3 101..a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000..a=fmtp:1 01 0-15..a=sendrecv..

[asterisk-users] No call progress sounds
I recently switched to a PRI from analog lines. For reasons out of my control, my vendor had problems getting the PRI to interface so they set it to use T1-CAS instead. The lines are working just fine for inbound and outbound calls, except I get no call progress sounds. So no ring, busy, etc. When you place an outbound call, you just have dead air until the called party picks up. If it is a busy number, you have no way to know as it just sits with dead air until you give up and hang up. I have two lines for faxing stripped out of the T1 from the router and those have all proper audio, so this may very well be something misconfigured on my end, but I can't figure out what. I am using a Sangoma A101 card for the interface and running Asterisk 1.6.2.13. Anyone have any idea what I need to change to get the call progress audio?

We have multiple customers running on a single Asterisk 1.4 installation and therefore require a large number of pickup groups. There seems to be a limitation of 64 call groups.

I also have some running at one location that I had to change the levels quite a bit. In that instance, I found the recommended 14844 was off by about a factor of 10. If I tried to get those levels, things were obviously way out of line, all sorts of distortion would happen. I ended up using ztmonitor, but I just watched the gauge and tuned it like audio recording equipment. I targeted about 2/3 to 3/4 up the graph as the average level. I didn't find a reliable milliwatt number to test on, so I just watched a bunch of normal calls. Once I had things working at the best level testing by ear and watching the graph, I found the value ztmonitor reported was about 4500-5000, or about 10 times lower than the info I found via google (I'm guessing I saw the same page you saw with the 14844 value). -chris www.mythtech.net -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

It may also happen on a Polycom at that location as well, reports on that one have been sketchy, so I can't be sure it really is versus they are hearing a 2nd call ringing and just think the phone is stuck ringing.

I had figured it was the old version of Asterisk I'm running and the fact that the server has had several power failures so who knows the health of the machine and install.

With the Snom you have to look and guide your fingers to the volume buttons or you'll inadvertently beep some DTMF's. Dumb. So too the MUTE button. I use the Snom 370 all day long at work. I have never had a problem adjusting the volume. I change it multiple times a day as I keep my handset on one volume and my headset on another, so I'm always going up and down and I've never accidentally pressed any other key. I will however agree with you on the Mute button, any time I want to mute a call, I have to stop and look at the buttons and figure out which one of the tiny ones is mute. Maybe that is because I don't mute very often, but it is still a very small button mixed in with other small buttons. However, there is probably nothing stopping me from programming one of the 12 programmable buttons as a Mute button giving me a larger more convenient target. I've never tried as like I said, I don't use mute very often. --With the Snom it's very easy to leave DND ON accidentally. The indicator is tiny. Imaging leaving yoru phone on DND all morning :-). I have done this several times. I've found the DND, being as it is on the bottom corner of a row of buttons, is easy to accidentally hit if your hand hits the phone when reaching for something else or when going to hit another button. And like you said, it is a tiny symbol on the display and not easy to notice. Usually I figure it out when I someone specifically tells me they are transferring a call to me and then it doesn't come thru. I average probably about one a month that I do this. I know others have done it as well as they call me when their phone isn't receiving any inbound calls and when I check sure enough, they too have turned on DND. Again, the Snom allows pretty liberal programming so it would likely be possibly to disable that button from doing DND and change to something else less likely to accidentally be hit. However that won't resolve the issue of the display icon being so small allowing you to easily forget you turned it on in the first place. --Another DUMB charactaristic of the Snom is that you can't 'hang up' NOR change SIP registrations without actually placing the receiver back in the cradle. WTF? I've never tried to change registrations with the handset off hook, but I do hang up the phone all the time without putting the handset back. Press the X button, it will hang up the phone regardless of handset hook state. When you are ready to make another call, the Check button will take the phone back off hook (or in the case of how mine are set up, I just dial the next number and when it matches my dial plan it goes off hook automatically and dials). This is also how I take the phone and and off hook for my headset or for speaker phone. I leave the handset on hook and use the Check and X buttons to toggle the hook state to answer and hang up calls. Furthermore if you 'end call' it will play dial tone again immediately, and there's no way to shut it up without replacing the handset. I'm guessing you are talking about using the X button here. Weird that yours plays the dial tone again right away as mine does not. If I press X with the handset off hook it hangs up the phone and leaves it hung up until I either press Check or manually depress and release the handset hook switch (or dial something matching my dial plan or anything else that should specifically trigger the phone going off hook). I wonder if this could be a difference in firmware versions. I believe I am currently running 7.3.24 although I could be wrong (but it should be one around there). One thing that does drive me nuts about my Snom, if I am on a call, and have another ringing, I can't change to a different talk method (handset/headset/speaker) until the ringing call on call waiting stops. If I try, it will automatically put the first call on hold and answer the 2nd call. I've had this happen several times as I change from handset to headset mid call and find myself suddenly talking to a different caller. -chris www.mythtech.net -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[asterisk-users] Clarifying RX and TX gains
I've done gain tuning as per the info I've found online. I've got my RXGain set so my volumes list as about 14,800 (using a milliwatt test number and ztmonitor -vv). However listening to the line now, this sounds too loud to me. The person speaking sounds fine, but I've now got a large amount of background hiss coming thru. In order to get the recommended levels, most of my lines are in the range of +12.5, so I'm wondering if I'm just exceeding the ability of my Sangoma card to amplify the audio. My TXGain's are all still at 0.0 as the Sangoma card didn't seem to want to let me adjust the gains. My levels are listing in the 5,000 range, but it seemed no matter what I changed the values to, there was virtually no difference made to the audio levels. Listening to the transmit levels everything sounds fine. What I am still getting is occasional static on the lines. Pops, squeaks, that kind of stuff. Sounds exactly like a handset cord is going bad, but it happens on any phone (and all have brand new handset cords). The person on the far end says they hear nothing wrong with the call. However, when I have asterisk record the call, the static is present on the recording. I also get the occasional robotic voice echoing back on anything said by the local person. That sounds like it should be typical echo on the line (I'm using a Sangoma A400DE with hardware echo cancellation). Everything I can find on echo and static tells me I should adjust my RX and TX gains. So that brings me to my confusion/clarification. I've got my RXGain set to the recommended level, and my TXGain doesn't seem to be very adjustable upwards as it would appear to need based on the recommended levels. Could my static and echo be caused by my TXGain being too low, or possibly RX or TX actually being too high (since listening to the RX reveals lots of background hiss)? I'm trying to work out this last little bit on my system as I'm getting grief that these calls have audio issues. I'm running out of things to check, so I'm looking for clarification on where exactly my RX and TX gains should be and which directions they will impact static and echo.

[asterisk-users] Audio distorted local side only
I'm not sure where to check next, so I'm reaching out to those that know this stuff better than I. I've got Asterisk up and running, but I've still got an occasional audio issue. Once in a while (maybe 1 out of every 20-30 calls), the audio becomes heavily distorted, but only on the local side. The party on the other end says the audio is fine. We can hear them, although on these calls the remote party is quieter than usual. They can hear us just fine. But when we speak, our side becomes heavily distorted. It only happens when we speak. As long as we are not talking, the audio is fine other than the remote party is not as loud as normal. The distortion sounds a lot like what a speaker sounds like when it is blown. Not quite static, not quite feedback, but very crackly and metallic with pops and squeals. It drowns out all other sound on the call. We hear it very loud, almost painfully and you have to hold the handset away from your ear as you talk. The remote party says they hear nothing at all wrong. It happens on both handset and speaker phone, so it shouldn't be a speaker issue. This never seems to happen on interoffice calls, only on calls going out over our POTS lines. Also, if we put the call on hold or transfer the call, usually the distortion is gone once the call is picked back up (although it may come back, but not as bad). Flip side, sometimes a good call that gets put on hold or transfered will have the issue when the call is picked up again. I've done rxgain tuning, although I can't be 100% sure I've done it right. I followed the advice from http://www.mattgwatson.ca/2008/05/howto-tune-zaptel-dahdi-fxo-interfaces-on-asterisk-pbx/ , but the levels he said to aim for cause me to need to raise my lines to between +12 and +20 and when listening to the tone on a phone sound as if they are starting to clip (although that could be correct for all I know). I had been doing txgain tuning, but in my testing, I found that either the values I was setting made no difference in the audio levels or topped out the audio levels around 9000 instead of the article's recommended 14844. As such, my txgain is currently set to 0 for all lines. Also it is worth noting that I was not able to turn up a milliwatt test number for my local CO (I even asked a Verizon tech who claimed they didn't have one in my CO and he didn't know the number for one in the area, although he may have just been BSing me to not give it out). The number I used is several states away, so I don't know how much (if any) audio loss is present on the tone, thus it is possible my rxgain may be too high for my lines. If anyone knows of a milliwatt test number for northern NJ I'd be happy to repeat my tuning. I am using Snom 370 phones (running the latest 7.3.23 firmware, but it was happening with the 7.3.14 firmware as well). My Analog lines are connected via a Sangoma A400DE. This is their 12 port card with hardware echo cancel and PCI-E. The network is a dedicated network, only the phones are on it, and all are connected to a netgear 10/100/1000 POE switch. The phones are using POE. The only devices on the network that are not phones are the Asterisk server, a router to get the network access to the internet (currently outbound only, I've not yet allowed inbound access to the server) and my laptop for configuring the server (although the issue happens even without my laptop connected). So this likely is not caused by traffic killing the network (won't rule it out, but it doesn't seem like a first guess). Anyone know what is going on or can tell me where to go next to figure it out?

This is probably due to my misunderstanding of the sequence of things, so it may be obvious and I'm just not getting it. I have my FXS extensions defined in my zapata.conf file, but that doesn't seem like the right place to put what looks like dialplan commands. My sip phones are likewise all configured in sip.conf (and not really an issue here as those have their own dialmaps and handle all this without a problem). The above lines look like they belong in the extensions.conf, but I thought that was only called once a phone sent the dial string to asterisk. Thus my confusion of setting timeout values for a phone connected to an FXS port in an area that I though it didn't look at until after the FXS port sent the dialing (and naturally I'm trying to get the phone/FXS port to send the dialing). Again, this is probably due to my misunderstanding of how, when, and where things are called, so the answer as to where to put the above commands may be obvious to others. But I didn't want to just take a guess and risk screwing things up.

[asterisk-users] Sangoma FXS dialmap
I have a Sangoma A400 card with two FXS ports. They work fine, however as I have analog phones connected, I have no way of telling the phone I am done dialing. Pressing # works fine, but then Asterisk passes that # over to the POTS line, and about every 5th call, for some reason that is causing the call on the POTS line to fail. The suspect the trailing # is also going to get in the way of transferring to another extension (or any other dial codes that might need to be used from these analog phones). Is their either a way to strip the # off the end of the dialing so it isn't passed thru, or is there a place I can specify a dialmap for the FXS ports so when my dial pattern is matched it just dials right away (or set a dial timeout as right now there doesn't appear to be one, it just waits forever for you to finish dialing). Or is none of this possible with FXS ports on Sangoma cards and I should look at getting an external ATA where I can set these things. -chris www.mythtech.net ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[asterisk-users] Set up two PSTN calls and then join them
I wish to set up two PSTN calls and then connect them similar to Jajah (is this called 3pcc?). The PSTN interconnect is handled by a third party SIP provider. I can do this using the manager or call files. An example (using php) would be: fputs($oSocket, Action: login\r\n); fputs($oSocket, Events: off\r\n); fputs($oSocket, Username: $strUser\r\n); fputs($oSocket, Secret: $strSecret\r\n\r\n); fputs($oSocket, Action: originate\r\n); fputs($oSocket, Channel: $strChannel\r\n); fputs($oSocket, WaitTime: $strWaitTime\r\n); fputs($oSocket, CallerId: $strCallerId\r\n); fputs($oSocket, Exten: $strExten\r\n); fputs($oSocket, Context: $strContext\r\n); fputs($oSocket, Priority: $strPriority\r\n\r\n); fputs($oSocket, Action: Logoff\r\n\r\n); This simulates one extension calling another and has some limitations e.g. the CDR records show one call which doesn't meet my requirements for billing purposes. What's the best way to achieve this join up two calls scenario? Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: [asterisk-users] How to stack Sangoma Remora cards
On Aug 7, 2007, at 1:28 AM, Olivier wrote: How can can you stack sangoma cards such as http://www.sangoma.com/ datasheets/p_a200-specs in a given PC enclosure ? It seems to me that it introduces mechanical constraints that seem difficult to comply with as space between cards is set by Remora expansion card. The space between the cards (as dictated by the Remora expansion card), works out to keep the additional stacked cards in the correct spacing for standard PCI or ISA slot distances. So basically, each stacked card you install, takes up the next slot over in your PC's case. So although they don't actually use the slot itself (minimizing IRQ and similar issues), they do occupy the physical space of the slot they hover over (and use that slot's opening to give access to the line jacks). If you have other expansion cards already in your PC that use the slot space, then you would not be able to use the Sangoma Remora expansion setup (unless you can rearrange the other cards to allow for enough consecutive open slots for the Remora backed cards). Hopefully that is the info you were looking for. -chris www.mythtech.net ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Just to clarify in case you didn't already realize it. It doesn't actually *use* 3 PCI slots, it just occupies the physical space of 3. The board only connects to one slot, then has its own backplane that the additional daughter cards sit on. An important distinction if your concern with the use of 3 slots wasn't due to physical space, but rather was with dealing with IRQ and timing issues of having multiple slots in use. -chris www.mythtech.net ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[asterisk-users] seeing DTMF passed to Voicemail
I'm having a strange issue. My voicemail is working fine, however, any time I try to access it via one of my analog phones that are connecting to Asterisk via a Mediatrix 1124... the voicemail system complains I've entered the wrong password. There is about a 15 second pause between when I finish dialing in the password, and it complains it is wrong. This ONLY happens with phones connected via the Mediatrix. My IP phones, and soft phones all work fine and have no problems accessing voicemail. And I know the VM accounts related to the Mediatrix based phones are ok, as I can access them via an IP phone dialing into general VM access (and then specifying the box and password from there). I'm guessing that the Mediatrix is failing to send the DTMF tones correctly, or possibly send them at all. I have it set to use RFC-2833, same as my IP phones. Is there somewhere or someway to see in Asterisk either via a debug command, or in some log somewhere, what the VoiceMail system thinks is being entered? Or, has anyone else run into something similar and knows why it keeps rejecting passwords sent via the Mediatrix? -chris www.mythtech.net ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I've been working with the Grandstream GXW-4108 (the 8 port version of the 4108), and it was a rough start, but I *think* all my issues have been worked out. Initial setup wasn't too bad, it helped that I found someone else's notes on it on the Trixbox forum. It it hadn't been for two problems, I'd have probably been up and running with it in just a few hours. The two issues I had were 1: I had major logging problems that I originally blamed on the GXW, but turned out to by my syslog server. When I changed to a different syslog server, the GXW's logs started working fantastically. I needed that logging to debug the 2nd issue. The 2nd problem was more involved, the GXW didn't like my PSTN connection. It worked wonderfully when connected to my VoIP ATA, but when I went to PSTN, it had all sorts of problems. I had some back and forth dialog with Grandstream and they think they found the problem and fixed it, and sent me a beta test firmware to try out. I put that online yesterday, and so far it has been working fine, but yesterday my office was closed due to snow, so I wasn't able to really stress test it (but I also was not able to reproduce my PSTN connection problem, which previously I could do with ease, so it gives me hope that the problem is indeed fixed). I'll know better today when the office is open and I expect the 8 lines to be in use for a good part of the day with a solid mix of inbound and outbound calling. If all goes well, then I might be able to recommend the GXW-410x as a viable unit. However, it does have one feature that might be a show stopper for some. It selects the next outbound FXO port in a round robin manner. There does not appear to be port level control over which FXO port is used on a given outbound call. This is probably fine for most of the targeted users (going on price, I'd say they are aiming at the SoHo market, which is likely to have a single bank of numbers in a single hunt group, so round robin would work fine). But for some, this could be a show stopper and prevent them from being able to use the unit. I personally have to see if it is going to work for me as I actually have two different hunt groups in my 8 lines, so round robin is less than ideal for me as it can cause one group to busy out from outbound calls, while the other has no calls at all. I do plan to send a feature request to Grandstream to give better control over selecting outbound ports. -chris www.mythtech.net ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I'm currently testing a GXW-4108... my verdict is still out. I've had some problems, some minor, some major. In the minor department, it does not always reboot when instructed to via the web interface. I think I've tracked it to the reboot button on a regular screen is ignored, but the reboot from the post update screen goes thru. This is likely a minor bug in the firmware. Next into the minor-ish... the documentation isn't great. It it written assuming you know a lot more about this stuff than I did when I started. The more I've played and learned, when I go back and reread parts of the docs, they then make more sense to me. Heading into the not so minor, but not really major... the logging sucks. It only supports a syslog server, which isn't a huge deal, but having a web interface to read the logs would have been nice. But, the logging doesn't seem to give much info (even in Debug mode), and seems to randomly stop working entirely. Sometimes it will start again when you power cycle the unit (not just a software reboot, but physically turn it off and back on), other times it needs to be defaulted to factory settings to get the logging going again, which is totally unacceptable. Also in the not so minor category, there doesn't appear to be any easy way of backing up the config files. When it polls the tftp server on boot, it does look for a config file, but since there doesn't appear to be any way to save one out of the unit, and no documentation or otherwise (that I've found) to create one from scratch... it makes it very difficult to save settings and then easily restore them. And then into the potentially major catagory... I've run into a problem that I *think* I've tracked to the unit doesn't recognize the dial-tone issued by my PSTN provider (Verizon). It works inbound and outbound just fine at my house, where it is connected to a LinkSys PAP that interfaces with Verizon's VoiceWing service. But when I move it to a real POTS line, it works inbound, but outbound single stage dialing stalls. This is a problem that I only just identified last night, and have been working on it today and as I said I *think* it may be that it isn't accepting the dial-tone. There is an option to ignore the dial-tone and not wait, but I haven't tested that yet (at 3am I gave up at the office I was connecting it to and brought it back to my house where it promptly started working again... I'm hoping to retest on POTS tonight or tomorrow). All of the above are probably fixable via a firmware update. I'm currently running the latest that Grandstream has on their web site, but I have not yet contacted them to see if they have a newer beta version available that hasn't been publicly posted. My guess is, all the issues will be worked out in due time. With the only show stopper appearing to be the dial-tone issue (or whatever is causing it to fail on the POTS lines), it may be a good buy if you can either verify that it works with your PSTN provider first, or have the ability to return it if it doesn't (in my case, I could probably return it to the dealer, but A: it has been over a month since I bought it, and B: I'm not done playing with it to see what might or might not be wrong, and since for me price is the single most important factor, I'm willing to keep at this one to see if I can get it all working correctly.) -chris www.mythtech.net ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

You can setup a dial rule to do transfering based on keypresses. I can't give you specifics on how as I'm still using Trixbox which handles some of that stuff for you. But in my setup, I was able to turn on ## as a lead in for a transfer (ie: ##205 to transfer the call to extension 205). This worked fine for softphones. When I got my Mediatrix box working correctly and connected actual analog phones, I planned to do the same, but the Mediatrix seems to override something and instead reads a hook flash as the transfer key, so on my actual analog phones, I just flash and then dial the extension and it transfers. The ## is still active for my softphones, so I think my flash setup on the analogs is something being done by the Mediatrix box itself (I think it may be generating whatever a transfer button on an IP phone does) -chris www.mythtech.net ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[asterisk-users] Grandstream GXW-4108 8 port FXO
Has anyone used either the 8 port or 4 port FXO device from Grandstream? (GXW-4108 or 4104). They seem to be the lowest cost multi port FXO devices that I can find, so I'm getting ready to buy the 8 port version. I just want to see if there are any opinions on the device before I commit to the purchase. If people have not used the Grandstream, are there any issues with using similar devices (that is, FXO devices that connect to the Asterisk server via SIP over Ethernet). I am looking to connect at least 8 PSTN lines, and as many as 12 or 16 to Asterisk (Currently using Trixbox, but I'm also looking at either AsterixNow or just building from scratch on a bare linux box). Money is a major concern in my purchases, which is why I'm looking at the Grandstream (even used on ebay, I don't seem to be able to find 8-16 port FXO devices for less than the approx $50 per port the Grandstream will get me... plus it has a video input for a security camera which is just a plus to me as installing a web capable surveillance camera at the location is on my to do list). -chris www.mythtech.net ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I recently purchased a Mediatrix 1124 from an auction of a company that went out of business. It came with nothing other than the unit itself. In digging thru the Mediatrix web site, and various google searches, it looks like it only supports SNMP setup, and only with their software (or the correct MIB). However, Mediatrix doesn't appear to let you download said software or MIB from their web site. Does anyone know where I can get the setup software or MIB needed to program this thing? I *think* I need the correct one for its firmware version, but I can't find out how to tell what version firmware it has. There is what appears to be the remains of a sticker marked Rev 4 on the bottom if that is any help. I have been able to default the unit and it properly gets a DHCP lease, but doesn't appear to respond to anything other than pings, a port scan reveals no open TCP ports on it. That is as far as I have gone with it so far. I figured I'd ask around for the setup software before I struggled too much more with it. -chris www.mythtech.net ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Since I already have Verizon's VoiceWing VoIP service, I figured if I can tie into it, that would let me evaluate service going to a VoIP provider. I've done a bunch of searching, but didn't turn up anything about how to get Asterisk to talk to VoiceWing. Verizon does not seem to officially offer anything except use of their supplied ATA (a LinkSys PAP2 that is locked down just like Vonage does... and none of the Vonage hacks seem to work on the VoiceWing one, so I can't get in and see how it is configured). I know Verizon Business offers VoIP services, including IP Trunking with the expectation that you will supply your own interface hardware. So I figured VoiceWing may be going off the same or similar systems and thus be able to support Asterisk if only the connection info was known.

Even the big telcos only offer a limited amount of 24/7 support. I have dealt with business accounts with MCI (ne: WorldCom, ne: LDDS) for eons, as well as Verizon (ne: Bell Atlantic) and GTE (before and after becoming part of Verizon), and SBC (ne: PacBell). In all of the above cases, yes, they have a 24/7 support line, but when it comes to actually fixing and addressing problems, unless it was a simple issue, it waited until the next business day to actually be worked on (save for physical line problems, then Saturday was an available day as well). But any after 5pm support (or often 3:30-4:00 on Friday's for Verizon), you could call and get your trouble ticket opened, but don't expect anything to be resolved until some time after 8am on the next day. In fact, I often could get residential non business issues addressed after hours faster and easier then business issues. Once the business office closed for the day, support for business problems all but stopped until they opened again. So going with anyone over someone else because of 24/7 support, you need to find out what kind of support you really get after hours. If you are just going to get someone that can take your call, tell you why yes, that is a problem, here is your ticket number, they will work on it in the morning, then are you really gaining anything over going with someone that only offers 9-5 support? Personally, my criteria for picking someone for business use isn't if they offer 24/7 support, but rather how reliable are they in the first place.
