Re: [asterisk-users] text
do i need to have an smtp server somewhere. i tried directly from my dialplan but no joy! i know you know that i am not a star with this but any help would be cool Hi, You should check, but I think some carriers don't have email to sms as part of their service, in which case I use an sms provider to send the messages. The provider will charge you a fee per message. It's probably easier to choose a provider that offers an email2sms service. I operate an SMS website. I'll send you the link directly, however apart from setting up voicemail sms notification, i've never setup sms directly from a dialplan. But if you can figure out how to send a normal email from the dialplan, its the same process for email2sms. First, I would recommend trying to set up the dialplan to send a normal email to a standard email address to check your dialplan is working. Then you can change the To address to the sms provider's address. Regards Dan -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Michelle Dupuis wrote: I assumed the ATA/gateway would throw away or reject the message since I don't think there's an analog equivalent...but I'll wait for the analog experts to jump in. It appears that Sendtext() simply invokes the callback stub ast_channel_tech.send_text, and this is implemented by various channel drivers in a proprietary manner. In the case of chan_sip.c:sip_sendtext(), the implementation indeed uses SIP MESSAGE: static int transmit_message_with_text(struct sip_pvt *p, const char *text) { struct sip_request req; reqprep(req, p, SIP_MESSAGE, 0, 1); add_text(req, text); return send_request(p, req, XMIT_RELIABLE, p-ocseq); } In the DAHDI implementation, it appears that some kind of acoustic in-band tones are generated using main/tdd.c:tdd_generate(). I am not certain what exactly the applicable standard is or how it works. IAX2 appears to have a text frame type: static int iax2_sendtext(struct ast_channel *c, const char *text) { return send_command_locked(PTR_TO_CALLNO(c-tech_pvt), AST_FRAME_TEXT, 0, 0, (unsigned char *)text, strlen(text) + 1, -1); } -- Alex -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 ___ -- 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

Hakan, I did not ask about the purpose of Sendtext() - I know the purpose, and on the level on which you have explained it, it is self-evident. I asked about how it was implemented underneath.

If yes, any examples of configurations would be really apreciated. AIUI, the Portechs can recieve TXTs and you can see them via their Web interface.. I don't think you can send with them. However, I can get asterisk to send TXT messages via a GSM gateway I have on the serial port of the server using the Linux command-line SMS programs. That's easy enough. System(putsms 44mobilenumber 'message goes here') However, it takes my Siemens TC35 GSM terminal about 4.5 seconds to send each message which might stall a dial-plan somewhat... But there are various message handling systems avalable that will queue outgoing messages, etc. so the send command can return instantly to the dialplan with sending going on in the background.

Google will give more details, but WikiPedia has good data to start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_gateway 2) Connect a GSM phone to your *NIX system. There are several software packages out there to do this via serial port. Command-line tools then can send SMS messages via the local phone. Put a System() call in your dialplan, or (better) use an AGI. 3) Use a service provider that does SMS gatewaying. Much more reliable than the first two methods.

silvia, I don't know how to pickup the message but if it is getting into the dailplan as a variable, you can send it to an AGI() script as a parameter...

Re: [asterisk-users] Text to Speech
Cepstral seems to sound descent...But if you have more than one voice installed (Example: different languages) I can't say it in realtime in the dialplan...I have to do a little trick like: exten = 1,1,System(/opt/swift/bin/swift -n Diane-8kHz "Hello World" -o /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/swift.wav)exten = 1,n,System(sox /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/swift.wav /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/swift.gsm)exten = 1,n,Playback(swift) When you show app cepstral in theCLI it says you can do it like this: exten= 1,1,Cepstral(voice name="William"hello world/voice) But it doesn't work for me trying to select the voice in the Dialplan just tells me my voice is missing or corrupt...but if you only have one in the voice directory it works fine... But someone else made the app_cepstral.so If I could find a correct syntax that worked I would change the source and recompile the module. - Original Message - From: Kevin Savoy To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 4:12 PM Subject: [asterisk-users] Text to Speech Can someone recommend a good text to speech engine that is usable by Asterisk?

[Asterisk-Users] Text labels on incoming call appearances?
Hi All, I'm looking at an Asterix system for a small home office, 3 incoming lines and eight phones scattered about the house, probably with a GUI wrapper like SwitchVox to help with the administration. I'm still looking at phones, and am getting pretty confused. It looks like the phones have all the features _and_ the PBX has all the features, and I'm not sure if I'm buying too much phone for what I want to do. I'm upgrading from a Venture 3-line KSU-less phone system with 8 sets, which has the following features that we like: 3 lines shared directory paging (all or specific phone) programmable keys (one for each phone, I can tell which is in use and can do individual pages) I'm thinking that I need four-line phones, but with call appearances I'm no longer sure. Can I do the following with 1-line or 2-line phones: When line 1 rings, all the phones would display Home and the CID. Someone would pick up their handset and be connected to that line. Then line 2 rings, all phones display Work and the CID. Someone picks up and gets that call. Line 3 rings, all phones display Fax and the CID. More of the same. It's easy to figure out how this works with four-line phones, but with 1 or 2-line phones, how can the person select which line they want to pick up? Obviously it's easy to just give me the line that's ringing, but if I want to put one on hold and have someone else pick up from somewhere else, or I want to make an outgoing call on the Work line, how do I control my line selection? Shared directories is very important to us, I can enter a name and number at my desk and use it at any phone. I don't seem to see this as a feature on the phones I'm looking at. Can this be done by (say) reading all the phone's private directories, combining them and writing them back to all the phones? In an ideal world, I could look at _any_ phone and see my voicemail indicator, is there a way to put up to four voicemail indicators on every phone in parallel? I'm looking at Linksys SPA-941 or 942 phones, and maybe the Polycom IP-501, are there any better ones I'm missing?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Text Messaging or AIM
That is if you have a local connection into an SMS network. I have heard this is available on some European ISDN systems. In the US, good luck. Outside of getting a GSM phone and connecting it to your system via a serial port and some sort of GSM SMS application. Your best bet is an IM system. I am looking into this for myself, as IM access to things like Nagios and Asterisk. I have an AIM client on my phone, so my plan is: Jabber gateway to AIM A Perl daemon to watch for incoming IMs and monitoring events to generate outgoing IMs. The daemon can then act on IMs coming from my phone and do things like drop in a .call file. You will need two AIM accounts, one for your phone/user access and one for the daemon. There are SMS sending gateways out there, but they are sending only, no way to receive. This is fixed in the IM solution by giving the system an account of its own. quote who=Scheda I found what that was, http://ruk.ca/article/1832 is the link.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Text Messaging or AIM
So you basically want an SMS or IM callback app right? One way to do this would be send an email to an address like ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and have a cronjob query/pop this email address for your specific message and then when it finds it have it create a .call file to call you and connect you to whatever context you setup, etc. Shouldn't be very hard at all.

As an extension to that idea, if your asterisk host is also your email host, the you could send mail to whatever user Asterisk runs as. Set up a .forward file and use procmail etc to filter the message and authenticate or validate the source (remembering that email is easily spoofed, so don't let this gateway have access to anything terribly sensitive), then create a .call file from there. This approach is nice because it's asynchronous: as soon as the email arrives it'll be processed and .call will be generated. The cron approach means that you'd have to wait until the next job runs before any action will be taken, although if your email doesn't get delivered in such a way that you can do scripting in .forward, then it may be the only choice.

I already have this workling for remote linux admin. For example, each linux box has it MSN user and I have them on ly MSN list.

The way I see this is simple: Install centericq on your linux box and get a nick for it so it will connect to all messengers as would a person. Then define on its external command file a keyword to create a .call file for asterisk. Then it is simple, just send a message via any messenger to your linux box and it will create the call file and asterisk will process it, thus, calling you. :) How does that sound? I'm really liking this idea. It sounds like exactly what I need. This sounds like a bot in irc or the like... Basically I could set a command such as /call to call me it seems.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Text to Speech - Someone needs to do this
People working on this have found that context influences the pronounciation of words.

If it does instantly change then we hear it as un-natural robot-like speach. Your proposed system would sound just like what it is, a sequence of words.
