Perhaps on calls where asterisk is proxying the rtp stream we could 
have an option to
tell asterisk to open the connection to the 7960 before the connection 
is setup on
the other side of the call.  So the 7960 gets a head start.  It would 
force the codec
but that is fine by me, my G.729 is preferred and I don't mind 
asterisk transcoding
since I have a low number of calls.

I think Barton found the root problem,  Native bridging fails or takes 
to long to
setup causeing the delay. I am going to see if a bug has already been 
opened on
this and if not do so.

I hacked the Wait command to wait in increments of 100ms.  The 7960 needs 
about 300ms delay after answer to play the sound properly.  ATA186's work 
fine without any delay for me.

A finer grained 'Wait' would be helpful in developing workarounds for this 
sort of problem.

Can you test this with an extension that goes into VoiceMailMain().  My

As of 3/4/2004 in cvs head and stable the Wait application has accepted

Yes the problem is that when making outgoing calls, there is enough of a 
delay in the call setup once the remote side picks up, that people that 
answer the phone hello will be heard saying o  or if they talk fast 
enough not heard at all therefor leaving a very awkward silence at the 
start of a call.

This is very annoying. A earlier  person  suggested  answering the  
calls before  dialing  and playing a ringing sound till the start of the 
voice.  That may be a work around of sorts for some,  you will hear a 
ring then a congestion tone on call that can't connect, or a ring before 
a operator messages (say to dial one before the number) that most users 
may not be used to.  I'll be playing with that ideal to see what odd 
effect a ring has before call setup causes. 

The work around may be less annoying then the problem. smile I'll see.

I've seen the same thing, and it appears to be from attempting a
native bridge.  You can try the attached patch to disable native
bridging.  It cut out the annoying silence completely for me.  This
may be a bad thing (unnecessary CPU utilization due to same-codec
translation), but I have not experienced any problems.

According to the bug release notes this is caused by the DSP setup on 
the 7960.  I would
guess that it must need to setup the correct codec once it is selected 
and that takes
some time (400ms apparently).

Perhaps they could create a 'leave the dsp setup for codec X and never 
change codecs'
config option. :-)

Works fine.

If you're talking about the comedian mail cutting off at the beginning 
without having the answer,ringing,wait in there, I think you're being a bit 
picky, perhaps even anal about the timing there.

It boils down to the fact that voicemailmain doesn't wait to see the session 
completely up before playing the comedian mail prompt.  This is indeed an 
Asterisk issue - one that is very easy to remedy by setting your voicemail 
extension as I have mine.

For what it's worth, my Grandstream phone has the same exact behavior 
without the answer,ringing,wait.

What exactly happens in that first 5ms of call setup that is so crucial? 
I've seen PSTN switches with longer delays in setup/teardown.

For my first two or three months of using Asterisk I had this problem
(with a Cisco 1750 and Cisco FXO and FXS cards).  I thought the name of
Asterisk's voicemail system was Median Mail, which I believe is a
copyright/tradmatk of Northern Telecom.  I stoped using the Cisco voice
cards when the TDM400P was released.  I've not experienced this problem
with Cisco ATA-186 SIP firmware 1.6.1 or Cisco 7905G firmware 1.0.1.  I
don't know if the firmware updates fixed the problem or something else
fixed the problem.

[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 and short delay before voice starts after ring.

2004-03-03 Thread James Sizemore
When calling out on a Cisco 7960 there is a short delay before the call 
gets setup and the other side can hear your voice.
Anyone know how to  compensate for this effect?

2004-03-03 Thread Bisker, Scott (7805)
I think what James is referring to is the delay once the call already been dialed.  
It's not specific to Ciscos, as I'm experiencing the same problem on my polycom 
phones.  Must be SIP related.

The problem is that once a call is dialed, when the remote party picks up the phone, 
the first half second is cutoff.  The remote party won't hear the first half second of 
the call.  I had this happend several times in the last few days.  I've also had a few 
complaints from users recently.  Here's what it looks like.

SIP phone dials 555-1234 (outside line via PRI)
555-1234 rings
555-1234 answers and says Hello
SIP phone hears o  or nothing at all.

If 555-1234 is slow to say something, then everything is heard fine.

Caveats.  echotraining and echocancel are enabled on the PRI, however, similiar Zap 
calls are not affected.

Sounds like the 7960 has not been configured with a dialplan that supports
your * dialplan. Look for the dialplan.xml file on your tftp server and
check its contents. Should look something like the following:

DIALTEMPLATE
TEMPLATE MATCH=0  Timeout=1 User=Phone/ !-- Local operator--
TEMPLATE MATCH=911  Timeout=0 User=Phone/ !-- Local numbers--
TEMPLATE MATCH=3... Timeout=0 User=Phone/ !-- Corporate Dial plan--
TEMPLATE MATCH=4,4..  Timeout=0 User=Phone/ !-- Local numbers--
TEMPLATE MATCH=5,4..  Timeout=0 User=Phone/ !-- Local numbers--
/DIALTEMPLATE

The first entry, above, says if the user dialed 0, then wait for one second
to ensure they didn't dial something like 0-555-1212. If no other digits
dialed, the 7960 is supposed to send 0 to asterisk after that 1-second timeout.

The third entry says my local * extensions are four-digit numbers starting with
a 3. If the user dial 3111, the 7960 should immediately send that to * (no
timeout).

I noticed the same issue using a SIP soft phone, I can't recall having 
the same issue with a IAX soft phone, pretty sure it didn't happen... 
I'm testing now to see if I can make it happen, but it seems to be fine...
