[asterisk-users] VIA EPIA DeadLock Issues

2007-01-10 Thread Raymond McKay
Greetings,

I've been having a large number of deadlock issues lately on chan_sip occurring 
only on VIA EPIA ML6000 boards.  I'm curious if anyone else is having similar 
issues.

My Config (have multiple systems all running the same hardware with the same 
problem)

VIA EPIA ML6000
1GB RAM
80GB HDD
Various Digium Cards (T1 and TDM cards)
Trixbox 1.2.2 (though running stock asterisk code)
Asterisk Versions 1.2.12 - 1.2.14 - with and without metermaid patch

Problem seems to happen more on systems that use parking lots.  The system will 
run for around 24 hours or so fine, and then mysteriously, without any errors 
leading up to it,  will stop being able to send calls to the chan_sip.  System 
from that point on reports the following in the logs.

attempting to stop asterisk from the CLI causes the CLI to become unresponsive 
and a trace shows chan_sip goes into a mutex_wait state. 

Anybody seen this? Have a fix?

Dell PE 1800s are our standard build. They 
are tower or Rack capable, have 3 open slots for expansion (2 if you get the 
remote access card). They are big though (5U) which is both a good and a 
bad thing. Good in that they have GREAT air flow inside the system so 
there is rarely any concern of overheating Digium cards. Bad in that they 
are friggin huge. Realistically though, if comparing in size to your 
average Avaya PBX for up to 100 users, than really the size is about the 
same.

Re: [asterisk-users] SIP asterisk over Linksys VPN

2006-08-16 Thread Raymond McKay
I usually run the RV series of router for this.  Much better thoughourput on 
the VPN.  Remember these low end devices can usually only handle about 
1Mbps - 3Mbps of encryption max depending on the unit.  Other than that, I 
have had up to 8 behind a VPN such as this.  I do generally recommend though 
that a small appliance style asterisk box sit on any side of a remote 
connection with a 1 port FXO card installed for timing, emergency 911 
capability, and trucking and jitterbuffer support over IAX2.  This, IMHO, 
tends to provide for better reliability.  I generally recommend some kind of 
HDD less Compact Flash based system. Less mechanicals to break and you can 
pick one up generally for $600-$800 with the digium card depending on speed 
and number of phones to support.

phones.  Now I can call him be he can't hear anything. Everything else
works fine through the vpn.  Most importantly, I can't trouble shoot
correctly.  I finally gave up and got him callvantage.  Now all I have
to worry about is forwarding a DID number.



I seem to remember some issues like that with older firmware on the routers. 
It was passing through some traffic but loosing others.  Since I've upgraded 
every linksys I deal with to the latest firmware, all similar issues have 
disappeared.  You might want to give that a try

Re: [asterisk-users] Typical Asterisk Company

2006-07-20 Thread Raymond McKay
I'm flying all over the world installing systems for companies ranging from 
5 employees - 100s of employees.  I don't think there really is a typical 
company per say.  Types of business span the financial services sector, to 
manufacturiring, to software development.  The same general need exists 
across all of them.  They all wish to.


1) Get a full featured phone system but not at the bloated prices charged by 
Avaya and Cisco

2) Take advantage of the substational savings through VoIP providers.
3) Integration of their communication technologies.

I think after I install a 100 systems this year, I'll make some graphs on 
company type and sectors and see if there are any trends, but as of now, its 
all over the place.

Re: [asterisk-users] Encrypting the Conversation

2006-07-10 Thread Raymond McKay



Hi,
Is it possible to encrypt the conversation between two parties on SIP,IAX
or
ZAP channels?


Sure, setup a VPN.

You can get a Linksys VPN router for less than $100 and run whatever
protocol you like over your VPN.


Agreed.  I have seen and heard of a lot of attempts to bring SRTP support 
into Asterisk but the idea of SRTP just doesn't make sense to me.  Asterisk, 
and VoIP servers in general, are meant to be communications services not 
security services.  In my mind at least, it would seem to make sense to let 
security hardware such as a router or firewall handle such tasks as 
encryption and let the phone server handle what it does, signaling and 
transcoding.  Otherwise, you end up with a device that is not ever going to 
be optimized for security, handling your security.  On top of that, you also 
are reducing the level of scalability you can achieve on the phone server by 
adding yet another chore to its duty roster.

Re: [asterisk-users] Encrypting the Conversation

2006-07-10 Thread Raymond McKay
That is at the server iself - you could then argue that the transit RTP 
could be tapped by a corrupt tech working for your ISP or provider, which 
could happen also with physical lines, the difference being that the RTP 
tap is so virtual it can be made to leave no trace. A physical tap can be 
found by a routine inspection on the lines, an RTP tap cannot. If we want 
Asterisk to be a step forward in the right direction, security concerns 
*must* be addressed at some stage.




First let me say, I'm not totally against the idea of SRTP.  There are 
certainly times when a VPN solution is unfeasible that it could be useful. 
In cases where you are trying to encrypt back to the PSTN to protect your 
call to that point, could also be another useful implementation for the 
paranoid or well justified security conscious.  The idea though, that anyone 
anywhere can monitor your call just isn't true.  Or at least isn't true 
without a lot of work consider what would be involved here.


1) First off, you would need to know the endpoints of the call.  Capturing 
all the random RTP streams out there just isn't practical.  The nefarious 
individuals of the world generally aren't going to work that hard so unless 
they have this information in particular, they will likely move on


2) You would need to be able to spoof, or otherwise compromise high end 
networking equipment within the ISP network.  Generally, most people are 
using providers that are peered no more than 15 hops away.  Most of those 
hops are on-net.  Most large providers have pretty sophisticated IDS 
running.  Heck I've even set off Comcast's a few times with my security 
analysis for other companies.  This is not to say such a measure would not 
be possible, but you would be taking a lot of work to go this far.


3) If you have gone this far already, you either have balls of steel or you 
are an industrial espionage spy.  These guys, and gals, are not going to be 
stopped by ANY security measure if they want to get in.  Of course that is 
no reason to leave the door unlocked and hence SRTP on that leg of the VoIP 
journey might be useful.


The problem is, no measure is going to stop an on network attack.  If a 
disgruntled ISP tech has access to the SIP gateway on either side, any 
amount of encryption isn't going to do anything.  If you can control the 
endpoints you can pretty much do anything you want.  As always though, the 
weak point of any security is the people that run it.  And managing that 
kind of security issue is a whole different topic all together.


With all that said,  I stand by my best practice concept of security 
happening on your network level devices.  Such a design offers a scalable, 
centrally managed security model of which your trusted personnel will have 
access.  It allows your communication hardware to focus on communication, a 
function it is optimized for, while your security hardware focuses on 
security.  Additionally it leverages the infrastructure that most business 
users have already at this point while minimizing costs, and offering a 
reasonably secure platform.


So to summarize and clarify my stance.

1) SRTP good in small doses where applicable
2) General Asterisk security ALWAYS a good idea.
3) VPN and other specialized security technologies are generally he most 
appropriate for scalability and overall security

Re: [asterisk-users] sip codec convertion on the fly

2006-07-05 Thread Raymond McKay

sip phone (ulaw) - asterisk - internet - asterisk - sip phone (ulaw)

it is possible to force the two asterisk to convert the codec from ulaw
to, say, gsm ?
i mean, without touching the two sip phones



Of course.

On the trunk between the two Asterisk servers, just add

disallow=all
allow=gsm

to the trunk config.  From that point on, only GSM will transverse the trunk 
and the two asterisk boxes will transcode.  Remember though, transcoding 
takes processor power so if you have more than one phone on each end, you 
are going to eat up processor power quick.

Re: [asterisk-users] Possible Bug?

2006-07-05 Thread Raymond McKay



I believe I've found a possible bug in the Zaptel channel drivers. I've 
been able to recreate this on a couple of servers. One  with Asterisk 
1.2.7.1 and 1.2.9.1,and also Zaptel 1.2.5 and Zaptel 1.2.6. I was testing 
a server configuration with some  T1's we have with ATT. When I 
disconnected the ATT T1's we were no longer able to check voicemail. I 
noticed then that no messages from the server could be heard. Playback, 
voicemail or any other message the server would play to the caller on the 
phone. It would display on the CLI that it was playing the message but 
nothing could be heard and it would hang the call until it timed out. It 
took a lot of trial and error before I figured out that if I unloaded all 
related files to the Zaptel drivers the messages could then be heard. 
Reactivated the Zaptel with no T1's attached and again it killed the 
messages. One server has a Wct4xxp card and the other using dynamic with 
Redfone's from Fonbridge. Both reacted the same way.


Sounds more like you have set the T1s as your primary timing source with no 
secondary.  Are the phones connected to this analog off a channel bank by 
chance?  If so if you don't specify something to take over timing, the 
channel banks won't sync audio properly to the Asterisk server and what you 
describe is likely to occur.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Digium Hardware Reliability

2006-07-02 Thread Raymond McKay


Also as Bruno suggests I'll pick a new UPS that has the phone line 
protection as well, though are phone lines are underground to the local 
station even though we are in a rural location.  Cheaper than hanging it 
on poles I guess.




A little tidbit of trivia here I've found the underground lines in some 
rural areas were a somewhat expensive experiment tried by some telcos.  In 
some rural places in SC it was tried because the strong thunderstorms in the 
area tended to frequent damage above ground lines.  The thought  was putting 
them underground, while a bit more costly, might save some money in the long 
run.  So in certain sections they tried running underground.  As a result, 
those areas of the state usually now can't get things like DSL because it 
costs them too much to repull the grade of line to support it.  That is 
until they suffer water damage such as in places like Mississippi after the 
last hurricanes.


But I digress...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Digium Hardware Reliability

2006-06-29 Thread Raymond McKay




How reliable is Digium hardware in general.?  My new TDM400P just died.



I haven't had a Digium card go bad yet that I did not expect to go bad.  By 
this I mean in the 100+ cards that I have installed, the only ones that have 
gone bad have been in servers that didn't have enough ventilation to handle 
them  Digium cards tend to get very hot.  If they stay in an overly hot 
environment, they tend to malfunction due to that heat and eventually die. 
If you had the card in a server where there isn't enough airflow, the power 
spike could have been enough to kill it in this instance.  Remember the air 
flow need, and you should have a relatively reliable Digium experience.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] WIFI sip phone

2006-06-29 Thread Raymond McKay



Based upon your experience on the field what wifi sip phone would you
reccomend ?


I have used just about all the WiFi phones out there at this point.  To be 
honest, its hard for me to recommend any of them.  The biggest problem with 
most is that they just have no battery life.  Take the Linksys WIP-300 for 
example.  A great functioning phone.  Works on just about every kind of 
wireless security out there.  The problem is, you are luckly to get a few 
hours of use out of it.  The UTStarcom phones have better battery life, but 
I've seen some wierdness when it comes to support of anything besides WEP 
encryption.  Many other offerings only support WEP which can be a problem if 
your customer has moved on from them.  So far out of what I tried, try the 
WIP-300 if you need support for WPA or WPA-RADIUS and the UTStarcom if you 
need better battery life.

[Asterisk-Users] Group funcations not functioning

2006-04-10 Thread Raymond Chen

Dear all,

we have try to limit the outgoing channel by using GROUP() and 
GROUP_COUNT() to limit number of calls to a channel/trunk.  but lately 
we upgraded to 1.2.5, 1.2.6 or SVN 1.2 ,  both functions not work at 
all.   Is this a bug or just a misconfiguration on our part?


exten = s,1,Set(GROUP()=${count})
exten = s,n,GotoIf($[${GROUP_COUNT(${count})}  1]?IncCount)

Regards

Ray

Dear all,

we have encounter problem when starting asterisk in the foreground,   
asterisk -gc  with more 100 SIP calls concurrently.  we have set 
ulimit to the highest value. still has this problem.  Is this the 
problem keeping asterisk in the foreground or this is a bug in SVN 1.2

[Asterisk-Users] G729 and Meetme

2006-03-02 Thread Raymond McKay



I have noticed that when I try to connect multiple 
G729 VoIP devices into a MeetMe conference that I can only add up to the number 
of G729 licenses I have. Now I would think that because all the devices 
are G729, this wouldn't be the case and the only license that would ever be used 
would be if a non G729 device or Zap channel was a part of the Meetme 
conference. This is apparently note the case. Can anyone explain to 
me exactly why this is. I don't really mind buying more licenses if I need 
to but I can't seem to wrap my head around where the Codec translation that is 
requiring the license is taking place.

[Asterisk-Users] dtmfmode problem

2005-04-28 Thread raymond



All,

I have the following config problem with dtmfmode

I use ANTEK gw which only support dtmfmode=info but it is not 
supported in Asterisk voicemail. I wonder if it is possilbe to setup 
config that is runtime determined. I mean say, if I dial to voicemail then 
the asterisk can choose dtmfmode=inband or rfc2833 while switch to dtmfmode=info 
when I outdail to pstn.

Cheers.

Raymond

Hi all,

To my surprise, I change the Dial statement in extensions.conf 
from:

exten = 
_852.,1,Dial,SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],r
to:

exten = _852.,1,Dial(SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],20,r)
I can hear ringback tone now. I don't know why but it 
just works.

Cheers.

[Asterisk-Users] codec negotiation with CISCO 7960 and Firefly softphone

When I am making call with with my Cisco 7960 SIP phone, I

I already did the 
following config in sip.conf

However, it seems that 
only codec gsm work fines. However, it still occupy more bandwidth. 
Just would like to know if asterisk can do codec g723 or g729? 
Anyone has 
encountered this problem or am I missing any config in asterisk? 


Thanks.

Hi,

I also define:

The same thing with context [sip] in extensions.conf but it doesn't works so
that why I cut-and-paste those lines:
exten = _997402.,1,Dial,SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],tr
exten = _997412.,1,Dial,SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],tr
exten = _997492.,1,Dial,SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],tr

from context [sip] to context [from-sip-external]

Thanks for your advice on IAX2.  However, my purpose is to the SIP

 What about using the same context for the firefly phone in extensions.conf
and sip.conf?
 Besides, why don't you use IAX2? Firefly speaks IAX2 and for external
clients, I think, IAX2 is better because it's nat-transparent. The remote
client can be behind a nat without any problems.

  g711alaw and g711ulaw. For the other codecs (g723, g729, gsmfr), the 
  callswere disconnected with cause value 63 (service option not 
  available) or 127 (interworking error).
  
  Can anyone advise whether this is a restriction on

[Asterisk-Users] FC3 + udev + Asterisk v1.0.3 - Temporary Fix

2005-01-28 Thread Raymond McKay
I haven't seen anybody so far post a complex fix for the udev problems on 
FC3 with the latest kernel.  On that note, I have a temporary fix to allow 
zaptel to load somewhat normally.  I found that modifying the zaptel script 
to 1) load, unload, then load the driver modules and 2) insert a pause 
between modules seems to allow things to work.  This assumes you have 
followed the instructions and modified the udev rules and permissions as 
documented on the wiki.  Also, you may need to modify the length of the 
sleep statements depending on the speed of your system.  Modified zaptel 
init script as follows

Easily.  I have connections where the latency is up to 300ms but a 
consistent 300ms without loss.  The key to clear VoIP isn't always the 
latency but more of an issue of packet loss and ordering.  As long as 
your packets arrive constantly and in order, most times you are going 
to find that the connection is good enough for VoIP.  Mind you higher 
latency will equal more delay in communications and echo problems, but 
those can be dealt with.

In the zaptel directory, find the file README.udev.  Find the # 
Section for zaptel device and take those five lines (KERNEL=...) and 
stick them in the file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules and then 
reboot.

If it helps any, I have Asterisk Running on FC3 with no issues.  The

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Status of SNOM Intercom

2005-01-05 Thread Raymond McKay
Using the new firmware is there still the issue with needing to patch 
chan_sip.c, or does it work out of the box? Do you have details on how it 
should be implemented within *?

As of now, the hack still applies.  It would be wonderful though if somebody 
could implement a command line variable that allows you to append anything 
to the SIP URI in the form of variable=variable.  Right now the patch 
essentially breaks the VXML_URL functionality right now as stands.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Status of SNOM Intercom

2005-01-04 Thread Raymond McKay
It seems the current issue is that the Snom phones in current firmware don't 
want to accept intercom=true on the SIP URI.  When passed this is the result 
and Asterisk retries and retries before exceeding a maximum # of retries to 
get the phone to connect.

I have a support call open on this too.  A short fix on this would be to 
allow the configuration of AutoAnswer to be by line NOT by phone as it is 
now.  I would think this would be a simple firmware fix and could get 
temporary intercom service to everybody who needs it for now.  The fix for 
the intercom=true issue looks to be a bit more complicated as apparently the 
SNOM phones are looking for a bit more authentication that Asterisk just 
doesn't do at this point.

So I guess my question is, Nils, any chance of getting this Auto Answer 
update change into the next firmware release?

Hi,
   How difficult is to setup and maintain an Asterisk PBX with phones from
multiple vendors? Is it even worth considering or is it safer to pick one
vendor for phones and stick with them? I am more concerned about 
proprietary
DHCP extensions, firmware upgrades etc..If anyone has any thoughts or
experiences they would like to share I would be more than happy to hear 
from
them.

Having implemented quite a few mixed and non mixed vendor systems, my two 
cents is to stick with one vendor especially in a production environment. 
Here are my main reasons.

1) Standardization of features: If all the phones have the same feature set, 
there is less of a fear of incompatibility between endpoints.  While you can 
minimize this though careful configuration and dialplans, for large systems, 
you need to almost be God to think of everything.  At least with one vendor, 
you know a set of features to work with that will work across the board.

2) Easier Configuration and Maintenance: Pick one vendor type, be it SNOM, 
Cisco or others and you now only have one type of configuration file to 
maintain.  Most vendors solutions can be configured TFTP so you can create 
configuration templates that will work across all the phones with only minor 
modifications.  I have currently been recommending to people the SNOM phones 
for the simplest rollout of a large number of phones.  They support config 
files via HTTP.  More specifically, you can use a scripting language to 
generate the config files on the fly from a database.  If you setup a 
database driven asterisk config, this essentially would ELIMINATE any 
individual file maintenance but it requires a single vendor, in this case 
SNOM, to work (BTW, for anyone who is interested, I hope to be releasing the 
fully dynamic phone code within the next few months once I actually have the 
time to sit down and fully write it)

3) Simpler troubleshooting:  I'd hate to count the number of SIP traces I 
have had to do to figure out if a problem I was having was one endpoint, 
asterisk, or another endpoint.  Having phones from the same vendor usually 
removes a step in the whole process.

4) Price:  Buy more phones from one vendor, and you are likely to get a 
better price.  By the time you are done combining high end desk phones and 
lower end phones, you might have been able to get a better bulk price on the 
higher end phones thus negating any cost savings by going with lower end 
phones.

5) TCO: All of these reasons are likely to lead to a system that costs lower 
to maintain long term.  Remember, you can buy a really cheap car and add a 
whole bunch of third party options, but if one of those options fails, you 
have to remember who installed it, deal with varying degrees of support, and 
mostly spend more time figuring out who is going to resolve the problem 
rather than getting the problem resolved.  The same occurs in most IT and 
Telecommunications installations.  Having too many vendors in the pot tends 
to lead to the its not our problem syndrome I think we have all 
experienced one time or another.  Remember that there is more cost to any 
system than what you pay upfront for it.

With that said, the choice of the vendor for the system is especially 
critical.  Is this vendor going to be in business next week? Do they provide 
the level of support you need?  (Maybe you don't need any support, maybe you 
need high level support.  Is that level available to you?)  Does the vendor 
have a long term plan for integration with Asterisk?  These are some tough 
questions and will vary based on your needs for future flexibility and 
upgradeability.

With any luck, I'm hoping to have some time soon to write another article 
similar to http://voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+setup+soho+4+CO+12+extensions 
describing a low maintenance, and high reliability system config 
recommendation for a VoIP setup.  (BTW, thanks to all who have written me 
thanking me for the clear recommendations)

[Asterisk-Users] Sprint Vision Phones ReadyLink=SIP?

2005-01-04 Thread Raymond McKay
I was playing with a Sprint Vision phone recently and noticed when viewing 
the low level ReadyLink configuration screens that there are references to 
SIP registrars and the like.  Does anyone happen to know if Sprint's 
implementation of ReadyLink truly is SIP based, and if so, managed to get it 
to interoperate with Asterisk.  If so, it would prove to be an interesting 
paging mechanism and I would think would have immense value to any 
organization with multiple mobile individuals.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Over 10,000 lines. Will asterisk manage?

2004-11-13 Thread Raymond McKay
So, why not use SER to register all the SIP phones, as it doesn't handle 
the
media-streams, just keeps track of the phones and does the 'handshake'.
SER is supposed to be able to handle over 50.000 calls at a time, so one 
SER
server would be enough.
Then interface this with one (or more) Asterisk servers to connect to the
local PSTN.
But maybe I'm missing something fundamental, in which case I'm happy to 
learn.
I'm guessing, and I'd can't say for sure without seeing the actual physical 
layout of all of this, that the final solution would probably be a 
combination of SER and Asterisk with Asterisk getting used for endpoint 
connections and SER as a routing solution.  There are really two virtual 
topologies that need to be considered to make such a judgment though. 
First, the actual network structure has to be finely analyzed.  You need to 
know where your bottlenecks exist, latency issues within the network, and 
other such factors that could cause network issues.  During the same time, 
its also probably a good idea to consider your potential network points of 
failure so you can plan on strategies should something go wrong.  Second, 
you need to look at the virtual telephone exchange you are creating to 
understand how and where traffic is going to flow.  In certain cases, you 
may want SIP devices talking to each other such as backend connections, but 
you really aren't going to want to have SIP endpoint devices doing this as 
1) Some countries may and probably will start implementing wiretap 
requirements that will force you to redesign your entire network. 2) 
Accounting and control of devices is much harder when your devices are 
talking P2P.  Just look at all the problems the RIAA has when trying to 
regulate P2P networks.

15,000 endpoints may sound like a lot, but realistically, never more than 
about 1/8 - 1/4 will be inuse at the same time depending on the environment. 
Realistically, I see this kind of size system being more of a network design 
issue than a VoIP one so the key is to make sure you have a good network 
engineer planning the network and knowing what that network is going to 
really get used for.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] snom gsm codec

2004-05-15 Thread Raymond McKay


 does anonybody know what is the status of gsm codec in snom phones ?
 they were some issuses in archives, some problems so i would like to
 know what is the actual status.

 best regards

 Marian


I had problems with the SNOM phones with GSM when they first came out.  One
of the first couple firmware releases after the initial release seemed to
fix the problem pretty early on though.  I have a SNOM phone sitting at a
remote office I use once in a while with GSM now and do not seem to have any
problems with at this point.

 Are their any issues with Asterisk and Redhat Enterprise? I have see one
or two posts with issues concerning compiling zaptel ?
 drivers but that is about it. Just looking for some consensus to if any
problems exist with it.

I have one production system running with the T1 card with no issues.  Its
been running for about 3 months now and I haven't had any issues to speak

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk + Cisco 7920 + chan_sccp or chan_skinny

2004-04-01 Thread Raymond McKay
Greetings,

I have seen a few postings in the past regarding the interop of Asterisk and
the Cisco 7920 WiFi phone.  To date, I have not seen a definitive method to
getting the phone working.  Assuming someone has this actually working, can
that person step up and answer these questions.

1) What Channel is it working with (chan_skinny or chan_sccp)?


2) If code was used that is not a part of a current Asterisk CVS release,
exactly where did that code come from?


3) What specifically is needed in the config files (skinny.conf or
sccp.conf, SEPMAC.cnf.xml etc)?  An example would be great.


4) Are any specific firmware versions required for the Cisco 7920 for the
interop to work?


5) What codecs have been successfully tested?


6) What is the proper structure for the TFTP server root and files?


If anyone can step up on this one and provide information, I would be happy
to put it all together in a fully documented HOWTO so that anyone else
attempting this configuration will have a clear and concise guide.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Forwarding a call to another FXO port

2003-12-05 Thread Raymond McKay
If this is going to be more of a mainstay installation, I would highly
recommend that you get a T100P card and channelbank.  They work like
champs and I've had virtually no complaints from any of those installs
I've done.

Thats actually what I'm using already.  I had some issues with the X100P and SBC's 
lines so I put in a Adtran TA750 and a T100P a while back.  This is the first time I 
have tried to do an FXO to FXO call though.  FXO to FXS and vice versa are fine with 
no problems.

I would change the option number to something else because 9 is often
picked up in another context as 9NXXNX 

You might have to make a sub menu in order to get there, but try using
2-8 for the menu options.

Actually I don't use 9 for anything in any context.  For small dialplans I find it 
more confusing for users to have to dial 9 for anything.

I don't think the problem is as much with the dialplan, though, as it is with the 
bridging of the two FXO ports Zap/1+Zap/2.  When 9 is pressed by the caller, the call 
is made out the available FXO port and the cell phone ends up ringing.  The problem 
really is that once that connection is made, the only audio that passes is a loud 
feedback type noise.

[Asterisk-Users] Forwarding a call to another FXO port

2003-12-03 Thread Raymond McKay
Greetings,

I'm trying to setup an option in my greetingmenu that would allow the caller to select 
this particular option for emergency calls.  That option would dial out on an 
available PSTN line to a cell phone number.

Currently it is setup as such

exten = 9,1,Dial(Zap/g1/CELLPHONENUMBER where CELLPHONENUMBER is the number it is 
calling out to.

When option 9 is selected, a horrible feedback noise is heard and caller cannot hear 
anything else.  The cell phone that the call is going to does ring and can be answered 
and hears the same noise.

Hardware on this is Asterisk Box - T100P - Adtran750
FXO channels are 1 and 2 set in group = 1
Both channels otherwise operate normally
echocancel = 64
echocancelwhenbridged = no

Any ideas?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] NAT Troubles (SIP) - 407 Proxy Authentication Required?

2003-03-11 Thread Raymond McKay
 For some reason, this 407 Proxy Authentication Required seems to be
 getting in the way... Any ideas? The UID and PW are fine in the 186 (it
 works great when it isn't behind NAT).


I'd like to add that I have seen this same problem using Arrayvox Voxphones
(SIP phones also) both behind and not behind NAT.  Figured it was something
wrong with the phones seeing how they are cheapies ($149 new).  Maybe not.
