"Single" SIT tone? Do you mean you now get it twice? Or was it in fact 
being trimmed to just the last tone? I find it's worth pausing slightly 
before using Zapateller.

I use Zapateller before my "no caller ID", "void caller ID", and 
"redlist" messages - and I get the three tones (which is the SIT). I 
always Answer and Wait(2) before it. Most autodialler systems will tend 
not to present a caller ID, and those that do quickly get blacklisted. 
Grossly abusive ones may find themselves redlisted.

Hmmm, I do have answer() in the dialplan. When I was using with the BRI I did 
get the single SIT tone.  My intention for Zapateller is to play the SIT tone 
to try and stop autodiallers.

If you are calling Zapateller without options, you WILL get the "Special 
Information Tone" - that's what it's for.

The option nocallerid will prevent it playing if caller ID is presented.

If you are saying you are not getting a ringing tone, that is perhaps 
unsurprising. I get no ringing tone on automatically answered IAX2 
numbers either.

So, what is your intention in using Zapateller?

Hi,

I have been using Zapateller with a TDM400 no problems at all, but
recently I have ported our BT number to a VoIP provider, and have a
strange problem.  When I phone our number I first get the BT
unavailable three tone sound, and then it actually connects the call
via IAX2.

So, I disabled zapateller in the dialplan and tried again.  Would you
believe it worked fine.

Has anybody else come across this ?  I am using * 1.4.4.

Same happens if I use PlayTones(info) instead of ZapaTeller().
Same happens if I use Progress() before ZapaTeller or Playtones.

[asterisk-users] Zapateller not playing audio via SIP Trunk?

2007-03-20 Thread Benoit Panizzon
Hi All

I'm tracing a very strange problem which I could reproduce with different 
versions up to 1.2.5 (sorry, didn't update to a newer one yet).

Scenario 1: Problem does not occure.
=
Sip Phone registered directly to the Asterisk.

exten => i,1,Zapateller()
exten => i,n,Playback(invalid,noanswer)
exten => i,n,Hangup()

Works like expected. I dial an invalid number, hear the SIT tone and then the 
Announcement.

Scenario 2: Problem does occure.
===

SIP 'trunk' to another SIP PBX (or another Asterisk).

exten => i,1,Zapateller()
exten => i,n,Playback(invalid,noanswer)
exten => i,n,Hangup()

Does not work, Zapateller seams to be 'hanging' forever without playing any 
audio.

exten => i,1,Zapateller(answer)
exten => i,n,Playback(invalid,noanswer)
exten => i,n,Hangup()

Well, this does work, but the customer would have to pay as a CDR is 
generated. We want Early Audio.

exten => i,1,Playback(invalid,noanswer)
exten => i,n,Hangup()

Strangely, this again works, so it is not a 183 Proccessing (Early Audio) 
problem, but seams to be a Zapateller Application Problem...

exten => i,1,Playback(invalid,noanswer)
exten => i,n,Zapateller()
exten => i,n,Hangup()

Early Audio Announcement is played, but then again as soon as Zapateller is 
executed, it 'hangs'.

Any idea what causes Zapateller to hang if it should play early audio via a 
SIP Trunk?

Mit freundlichen Grüssen

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Zapateller issues

2004-04-13 Thread Mark Phillips
Yeah, tried this.

Seems that the Zapateller code is not written correctly.

The problem is that if one does this

exten => s,1,Zapateller(answer|nocallerid)

Then the call is answered by Zapateller regardless of the callerID state.
The tones are played if there is no caller id. The problem with this is
that the call gets answered regardless of state and so the caller gets
charged. If my dial plan forwards the call to my phone and the caller
wants to hangup before I get to it he has to pay anyway. This is expensive
especiall if calling from abroad.

When the Zapateller has answered there is no longer any ringing heard
whilst the calling party is waiting for a SIP extension to pick up either.

I can see some advantages of having the above situation howevever. eg, one
could answer the call and then dump the caller onto hold whilst the
extensions are rung.

If I do this

exten => s,1,Zapateller(nocallerid)

The call gets answered when there is no callerid info but DOES NOT play
the tones which is kinda useless.

I have also noticed that when the tones are played they are often
trunkated; the beginning gets cut off. Could a few seconds pause be
written in so that the connection has a chance to sort itself out before
the tones play?

[Asterisk-Users] Zapateller issues

2004-04-12 Thread Mark Phillips
Hi All,

In theory if I do this;

exten => s,1,Zapateller(nocallerid)
exten => s,2,Privacymanager
exten => s,3,Dial(a bunch of SIP extensions)

My callers should only hear the anti-telemarketing tones if they call from
a line that has no caller*ID and then get offered an opportunity to enter
it, right?

What I'm finding is that in the event of no CID the caller gets dumped
into the Privacymanager which then passes the call onto the next step
regardless of  their input of details. At no time do I hear the tones.

I tried,

exten => s,1,Zapateller(answer|nocallerid)
exten => s,2,Privacymanager
exten => s,3,Dial(a bunch of SIP extensions)

But then every call was answered regardless of CID and the tones were heard.

Any ideas?

If you want to test it, once you include Zapateller in your dial plan, place
an incoming and block your caller id (from the phone your testing from) and
it will do its job.. to block incoming calls that dont produce a caller id.

Because you can send onhook audio with PRI.  You can't with POTS lines.
So I use it with an exten => s/,1,blah to answer when they have no
callerid.

2004-01-28 Thread Steve Murphy




Steve--

I'm using it, with the 'nocallerid' option. I think you are really wondering about the 
"special information" tones.  Remember ever hearing the message:

"Dee Dee Dee -- The number you have dialed has been disconnected" , 

or whatever?

The Dee-Dee-Dee tones rise in pitch. That's the "special Information tones."

They have a hardware product at Walmart you can buy for $30-40 that does this, but for 
everyone, every time you pick up an incoming call. The theory is that autodialers are made
to detect these tones and if present, will terminate the call, and strike the "bad" number from
the list, whereas humans may think the tones curious, but will rarely immediately hang up.

Hi,

I'm just wondering about 'Zapateller'.

How exactly does it work!? I might be interested in employing it at work
here, but wondering if anyone's using it?

echo*CLI> show application Zapateller
  -= Info about application 'Zapateller' =-

[Synopsis]:
Block telemarketers with SIT

[Description]:
  Zapateller(options):  Generates special information tone to block
telemarketers from calling you.  Returns 0 normally or -1 on hangup.
Options is a pipe-delimited list of options.  The following options
are available: 'answer' causes the line to be answered before playing
the tone, 'nocallerid' causes Zapateller to only play the tone if there
is no callerid information available.  Options should be separated by |
characters

I think you can just put it in your dial plan:

exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Wait(2)
exten => s,3,Zapateller
exten => s,4,Dial(whatever)

It fakes a disconnected number by playing the same tones
you would get when dialing, for example, 555-1234.  If a
computer was calling you, sometimes they are programmed to
listen for those tones.  No sense keeping the connection
with a disconnected number.  I mean, if the National Weather
Service is trying to call everyone in the path of a
hurricane as fast as possible with information about nearby
storm shelters and emergency plans, they want their computer
to connect to as many valid phone numbers as it can and play
their warning message.

2004-01-28 Thread Chris Albertson

I have a few (more specific) questions about 'Zapateller':

1) How would you test this??  Would I need a predictive
dialer machine like the telemarketers use.  OK, I could
just wait and see if it seems to cut down the unwanted calls
but that's not really a test.  


2) I don't understand how I would choose to use the
"answer" option or not.  under what conditions would
"answer" by better then not using the option?   I asume
if I used "answer" the tones would play in caller's ear
and be _very_ anoying to them.  Why would I want to do that?
There must be some reason are why would the option exist?

[Asterisk-Users] Zapateller

2003-10-02 Thread Micke Andersson

Does anybody know why I get this error when using zapateller:

WARNING[1209214400]: File rtp.c, Line 327 (ast_rtcp_read): RTP Read error:
Resource temporarily unavailable

It's scrolls until a sound is recived from the line, then it plays the
zapateller tones.
