[asterisk-users] How to trace incoming AMI requests ?

2010-07-13 Thread Olivier
Hello,

Is there a way to trace into a log file, incoming AMI requests ?

For instance, I've got several apps accross the LAN, sending AMI requests
such as :
Action: originate
Channel: Local/7...@internal
Exten: 00123456789
Priority: 1
...
Some of them might be sometimes producing some erroneous requests.

I would like to check from server side, that each received request is
formatted and compliant.
Ideally, I would to read in a log file, a (reliable) copy of AMI originate
requests.
Any suggestion ?

If this helps, I can use astmanproxy.

I also saw a debug=on option inside /etc/asterisk/manager.conf but I
couldn't find a change in produced output.
And
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20config%20manager.confis
not helpful on this specific option.

Regards

[asterisk-users] Recording from g729 to wav means transcoding ?

2010-07-13 Thread Jonas Kellens

Hello list,

when the conversation is using the G729-codec and the conversation is 
recorded with the Monitor()-application in wav-format, will there be 
transcoding (and thus a need for licenses ?)



Kind regards,

Jonas.

[asterisk-users] OT: fail2ban, spam and mail servers

2010-07-13 Thread Randy R
Many of you are interested in and have used or recommended fail2ban
for your linux boxes. I finally installed it on our FreeBSD server (no
asterisk, hence the OT) with the help of a friend from the VoIP Users
Conference and Asterisk community.

After a lot of new learning about regex, I extended the actions and
filters to look at our mail server, plagued by spammers - who isn't?
Our server has a unique setup now. The customer found a spam filtering
service that works VERY well as the MX for the domain. Their server
then connects to ours to deliver. Obviously, the IPs of that service
are entered as RELAY in the sendmail config. Here is my question:

We are still getting a lot of direct spam. Being that only account
holders and the spam filtering servers should be connecting, I started
blocking various connections bith in /etc/mail/access and in pf.
However, I soon saw that I'll need to block the en tire Internet IP
space. Blocking by IP is a problem for a small number of nomad users
whose IP may just be in China, Russia or Argentina at some point.

I was thinking of closing port 25 and using an alternate port (587?)
setup if the spam service is able to connect to an alternate port.
That way, the users can also change their configs to 587 and most
spammers will be trying 25 which is closed.

Is this a tenable idea? What are your experiences and opinions?

Hi Randy,

How many users are on this 'domain'? Google Apps Free is a great solution
for upto 50 users with 7.6GB per user. Their spam filtering usually does the
job for our customers.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with Google's pro services, we have
other customers on them. However, this doesn't address the question I
asked, which is regarding a FreeBSD mail server we run.

What I do, is only open port 25 to the list of ips of the spam filtering
service -- I use an iptables script called rc.firewall which I found
several years ago which works well and has a nice syntax for this and I
get no direct spam, I get some which gets by the filters.

Hi John,

I'd like to do that, but there are nomad users who might be anywhere
in the world. True maybe I could ask them to use port 587 and then
allow ONLY the service IPs access to port 25.

Can't you just insist on SMTP AUTH?  Or  (crude but still just about usable)  
require a POP3 connection before allowing an SMTP connection?

The problem is that mail to legitimate users is being sent here
although here is NOT the MX. On the other hand, when the users on
the road try to connect to use the server to send on port 25, it needs
to be open. I'm pretty sure closing 25 would kill the spam. But the
users would need to connect to a port for SMTP.

Re: [asterisk-users] Recording from g729 to wav means transcoding ?

2010-07-13 Thread Jonas Kellens

I have no licenses and I want to avoid transcoding all together.

When the phone supports G729 and the SIP provider support G729, then the 
audio can just pass through...


However, in some cases the audio is recorded. Any change that we can 
record in G729 format then ??


And how about voicemail, is this then also translated ??

Technically/pedantically, users ought to be connecting to port 587 to 
submit their email anyway, with port 25 being reserved for MTA to MTA 
communications, so block 25 for everyone but the MX relaying host and 
insist your users connect on port 587 to relay their outgoing email (with 
smtp-auth)


I'd assume that most MTAs listen on 587 these days (as well as 25) - it's 
been in the standards for quite a number of years now. (Introduced in 1998 
in RFC2476)


And I don't know about where you are, but where I am (UK) some ISPs are 
now blocking outbound SMTP connections on port 25, or force-proxying them 
via their own email servers, making the use of port 587 almost mandatory - 
BTretail and Orange, and I think AOL do, but there's probably others. 
However it's only a matter of time before they catch up and as soon as the 
spammers start to use that port, the ISPs will block them too.

Why would you need to choose a specific modem?  I believe everything can

If you have specific HylaFAX+ or iaxmodem questions, it'd probably be

Yes. The only thing that is delicate here is the insist part, but
they'll get over it. Users are customers.

Yes, more and more providers do this.

So (even before I read your message) I decided to limit port 25 access
to the restricted IP set we know about. This will be an interesting 48
hours or so while we see if the users are still using port 25 :-)

 Dear Jacques,
 We tried getting you on phone in the office at noon (Kenya time) but
 unfortunately you had stepped out for lunch. We however managed to get hold
 of Lovena and briefly deliberated the critical items in the ensuing email.
 In principle, we agreed to address these drawbacks in the following manner:

 1) Expand Technologies to resolve items 1a (card printing) and 1c (bank
 card  cheque payment currency) without further deliberations..
 2) Refer to the final signed TOR for items 1b (card transfer) and 1d (FO
 direct topup). I shall get the final TOR from Easther Wanjoga of Kenya Shell
 Ltd.
 3) Lastly, Expand Technologies to check if the chip card has sufficient
 space to store the expiry date in order to implement item 1e (card
 validity).

 I'm also made to understand that you called Simon Beamish and discussed
 further the items listed above. Kindly look into these issues keenly and

 Dear Jacques et alia,

 We have identified certain shortcomings in MyFuel Express Front Office
 (FO) software that we need rectified as soon as possible and in-time for the
 go live scheduled for next month. The critical elements should be given
 uttermost priority as it is impossible to commence printing and issuing of
 cards with the listed drawbacks still in place.

 1) CRITICAL ELEMENTS

 a) Card Printing and Personalisation
 Increase padding on the left margin so that the card holder name,
 description and vehicle registration do not print on the UN logo.

 b) Card Transfer
 The required functionality should be transfer of card value on the
 e-purse and not transfer of the card-holder particulars to another card as
 is currently the case.

 c) Local Epurse Remote Top-up (Bank card  cheque payment)
 Currently only the cash top-up function has the option of selecting the
 paying currency. A similar option is required for the bank card and cheque
 top-up since many clients run US$ transactions on their credit/debit bank
 cards. Similarly, US$ account holders have cheque books for US$ transactions
 only.

 d) Front Office Direct Top-up
 The FO lacks direct top-up capability whereas there is a card
 reader/writer directly connected to the FO. A work-around has been
 implemented by connecting a hand held POS to the Ethernet network to
 download and effect the actual top-up on the card. This two step procedure
 is time consuming and shall drastically slow down the top-up process at the
 station.

 e) Client Management - Card Validity
 Provide entry for expiry date i.e. dd/mm/ instead of number of years
 since client contracts expire on specific dates and not at the end of the
 year.

 2) IMPROVEMENTS

 a) User Management - User Rights

 smtp-auth)

 Yes. The only thing that is delicate here is the insist part, but
 they'll get over it. Users are customers.

Indeed - and with another 'hat' on, I run an ISP business, providing email 
and web hosting facilities to clients - and facing exactly the same 
issues. It's been (being) a struggle to get people to change their 
settings, but we're slowly getting there.

Because I have multiple servers, I can run both in parallel and are giving 
groups of customers cut-off dates for final migration based on the servers 
their using to relay outbound email...

 I'd assume that most MTAs listen on 587 these days (as well as 25) - it's
 been in the standards for quite a number of years now. (Introduced in 1998
 in RFC2476)

 Yes, if you have that port open. (we do)

 And I don't know about where you are, but where I am (UK) some ISPs are now
 blocking outbound SMTP connections on port 25, or force-proxying them via
 their own email servers, making the use of port 587 almost mandatory -
 BTretail and Orange, and I think AOL do, but there's probably others.
 However it's only a matter of time before they catch up and as soon as the
 spammers start to use that port, the ISPs will block them too.

 Yes, more and more providers do this.

 So (even before I read your message) I decided to limit port 25 access
 to the restricted IP set we know about. This will be an interesting 48
 hours or so while we see if the users are still using port 25 :-)

Good luck!

Gordon

 Dear Jacques et alia,
 
 We have identified certain shortcomings in MyFuel Express Front Office (FO) 
 software that we need rectified as soon as possible and in-time for the go 
 live scheduled for next month. The critical elements should be given 
 uttermost priority as it is impossible to commence printing and issuing of 
 cards with the listed drawbacks still in place.
 
 1) CRITICAL ELEMENTS
 
 a) Card Printing and Personalisation
 Increase padding on the left margin so that the card holder name, description 
 and vehicle registration do not print on the UN logo.
 
 b) Card Transfer
 The required functionality should be transfer of card value on the e-purse 
 and not transfer of the card-holder particulars to another card as is 
 currently the case.
 
 c) Local Epurse Remote Top-up (Bank card  cheque payment)
 Currently only the cash top-up function has the option of selecting the 
 paying currency. A similar option is required for the bank card and cheque 
 top-up since many clients run US$ transactions on their credit/debit bank 
 cards. Similarly, US$ account holders have cheque books for US$ transactions 
 only.
 
 d) Front Office Direct Top-up
 The FO lacks direct top-up capability whereas there is a card reader/writer 
 directly connected to the FO. A work-around has been implemented by 
 connecting a hand held POS to the Ethernet network to download and effect the 
 actual top-up on the card. This two step procedure is time consuming and 
 shall drastically slow down the top-up process at the station.
 
 e) Client Management - Card Validity
 Provide entry for expiry date i.e. dd/mm/ instead of number of years 
 since client contracts expire on specific dates and not at the end of the 
 year.
 
 2) IMPROVEMENTS
 
 a) User Management - User Rights
 Group the list of functions into various roles to ease creation of a new 
 user. We acknowledge

 I already tried googling this issue and found some procedure but still no

 trying this via ztdummy.

It's likely an issue of permissions.  Check the permissions of
/dev/dahdi/pseudo versus the user your Asterisk daemon runs at.  If necessary,
change your permission script in /etc/udev.d/ to match the ownership of the
pseudo device to the user running Asterisk.

 Good luck!

A few have written me off list (thanks) so I thought I'd close out my
own thoughts on this. It's been about two hours and it does look
like things are working great. I removed the huge number of
CONNECT...REJECT statements in sendmail (not needed since the port
isn't there any more). I put the authorized IP list in a pf table and
all that is working just fine.

Yes, many people over the past few years have complained they weren't
able to send mail and were told to change the port to 587, which we
opened last year. Our situation is unusual as the people out on the
road vary a lot, and some of them use a VPN to access the customer
EXCHANGE directly. That can connect directly to our box, so it causes
no problems for them.

So unless we hear from stragglers on port 25, this is looking very
good. I don't know how many IP can be put in a pf table but it was
obvious that there would be tens of thousands in a very small number
of days.

Hi Everyone,

I have done yum install speex libspeex-devel speex-devel and it was
succesful on CentOS. I then tried yum install asterisk16 asterisk16-addons
asterisk16-configs but core show translation doesn't show speex loaded.
Is there a way to or an option that I can append to the asterisk install to
make sure it compiles with speex in mind?

Thanks,

[asterisk-users] STRFTIME function declared in globals context

2010-07-13 Thread Warren Selby
I'm trying to declare a few date-related global variables to ease my

TIMESTAMP = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)}

If I evaluate these variables in the dialplan later, using

exten = ,n,Verbose(${TIMESTAMP} - ${YEAR} - ${MONTH} - ${DAY})

My output is as follows:

However, the following line:

OK, if the argument to meetme is conference number,TcMsrm it does not

You don't state which version you are on (These things change from 1.2 to
1.4 to 1.6/8), but that being said, you would probably more likely to
succeed doing Set(GLOBAL) in an isolated context instead of using the
[global] context for this bit of voodoo.  Looking forward to a better answer
(folks like to correct my shots across the bow).

Sorry about that.  I'm on version 1.4.33.1.  I'm wanting to use these
variables in multiple contexts throughout the dialplan, and also as
arguments to some AGI scripts, etc.  I'd rather they be set in the [globals]
context if at all possible, that way I'm not limited to where I can use
them.

  IOW, they are hearing hello ? Hello ? and often hear the phone being
  put down as an initial part of the call.
 
  We have verified this by checking the voice recordings.
 
  Yet, the logs of asterisk don't show this discrepancy.
 
  We are using a local channel to dial a landline through a sip
  provider.


Could it be possible that the firewall is waiting for outbound RTP media,
before letting inbound RTP come in ?


 When the call is answered, the agent's phone is then
  dialled.
 
  the logs go something like this
 
 
  [Jul  9 13:29:26] VERBOSE[23396] logger.c: [Jul  9 13:29:26] --
  SIP/provider-0001ed6e is making progress passing it to

  SIP/provider-0001ed6e answered
  Local/01577864...@dialleroutbound-4c93,2


What would rtp debug show ?


  ..

  SIP/*0086*-0001ed73 answered Local/somenum...@dialleroutbound-4c93,1
 
  ..
 
  as you can see, the call is answered at 13:29:44 and the agent gets
  called (auto-answer phones) at 13:29:46, yes if you listen to the call
  recording, there is a 6 second gap between the person saying hello
  and the agent being connected.
 
  Is it possible that the call was answered 5 seconds *before* I get
  notification of the answer ? i.e. is the provider taking too long
  notifying me of the answer ?

Ah, sorry.  I just saw your earlier response that said you're on 1.4 -
I was remembering that after I migrated from 1.4 - 1.6, I had to preload
func_db.so so that I could use the DB function in [globals].

[asterisk-users] asterisk un-registering from provider

2010-07-13 Thread Eddie Mikell
All:

Starting switching over my phone lines.

I got phone line 1 switched.  Everyone working.

I switched the second phone line, and it worked about an hour, then I 
started getting errors from the cli saying the server could not register 
with the providing.  I restarted the system, and it worked ok for about 
30 minutes, and then started giving he same errors.

The error is
[Jul 13 11:21:14] NOTICE[27331]: chan_sip.c:10169 sip_reg_timeout:-- 
Registration for '4342201...@ia.ntelos.net' timed out, trying again 
(Attempt #19)
  doing dnsmgr_lookup for 'ia.ntelos.net'

It keeps doing this until I restart asterisk.

No, the password hasn't changed - the system works fine for anywhere 
from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, but again, I suspect it depends on the 
call load.

I suspect it has something to do with the call load, but there really 
wasn't that many calls in progress - maybe 5 at the time of the 
failure.  I have since switched the last phone back to the old system 
(it handles the volume of our client calls).

Anyone else experience this?  Where should I start looking - at my 
server, or at the provider?

Thanks,

Eddie

When you load the dialplan, do you see the global variables getting set?
That would at least tell you whether the problem lies at the point where the

Since you never know when you'll need this, I slapped the code into my

Here is the corrected code that works

YEAR = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH}||%Y)}

MONTH = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH}||%m)}

DAY = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH}||%d)}

TIMESTAMP = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH}||%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)}

Re: [asterisk-users] Fax for Asterisk, capable of receiving from website but not from fax machine !!

2010-07-13 Thread khalid touati

2010/7/12 khalid touati khalidtou...@gmail.com

 Hi Guys,
 i am using the latest version of asterisk 1.4 (1.4.33.1), dahdi (2.3.0.1)
 and FFA (Applications: 1.4_1.2.0, Digium FAX Driver: 1.4_1.2.0). the issue

 perfect).

I hadn't thought about it, but I suppose if it's evaluating at reload and
not runtime, this would indeed be the case.  I'm hoping to get the various
date-related values at runtime, not the reload time.  Hmmm...it looks like
I'll have to re-evaluate what I'm trying to do...

Hi!

 'Fax for Asterisk' is a commercial application sold by Digium. This is
 not their official support channel. Since you paid for the product, why
 not contact them directly about your problem? 

Maybe because having to deal with Digium support is an ... uncomfortable 
experience that I've made twice. It really feels like a support 
avoidance system, and you are an unwelcome guest that should please 
leave as soon as possible.

I really hope that Digium takes steps to a) make their behaviour less 
bureaucratic when establishing a support call (try to do that on behalf 
of a clue-less customer of yours and you know what I mean). Also my 
feeling is that b) the level of competence (or familiarity with the 
product in question when it comes to software prodcuts) could use some 
improvement.

If you take a look at the Digium web forum for Skype for Asterisk, for 
example, you will see that any kind of half-official answer or helpful 
reaction from Digium's side is by now non-existent - most probably due to 
internal policies. This just doesn't feel right, and many other companies 
haven proven that I can be done differently.

Re: [asterisk-users] How to calculate number of speakers needed for PAGING and INTERCOM coverage area?

2010-07-13 Thread C F
I agree with horns you'll usually get better coverage. I have done
this in the past with 5 speakers for a 30k sq ft warehouse very good
coverage. Using bogen horns. This was for a 300ft by 100ft warehouse.
Starting at 30 ft of the 300ft wall at the 50ft line off the 100ft
side I installed a horn every 60ft alternating facing one north and
the other south, which ended up 3 facing one way and 2 the other. You
can get double horn speakers which will face 2 sides. I wouldn't mount

 Based on your calculations for for 40k sqfeet that would be 33 speakers. I
 think that's way too much of an overkill.

 In my experience using height for radius works, for example if you
 have a 20 ft high ceiling then the coverage for one speaker would be
 40 ft diameter circle (around 1200 sq ft). Of course overlapping 5 ft
 has never killed anyone, but this really depends on the power of the
 speaker, I usually deal with 70v speakers tapped at 16 or 8 watts
 depending on how many speakers I put on one amplifier and the output
 wattage of that amplifier.

Re: [asterisk-users] power outage

2010-07-13 Thread C F
It has nothing to do with the D-channel, however you will never know
if the B-channels work if the D-channel is down. D-channel is what
allows the B-channels to work, and is the first place to troubleshoot.
If something is screwed up with the power the symptom you'll get is a
non working PRI, the way to check it is by means of seeing if the
D-channel synced up or not.

Under /dev folder I only see /dev/zap/pseudo.

 Hi List,

 I'm new to asterisk and currently running the newest of version. I'm
 encountering the error below when I dial my meetme conference #:
 WARNING[13220]: app_meetme.c:1097 build_conf: Unable to open pseudo

 I already tried googling this issue and found some procedure but still no
 luck on fixing it. My server does not have any digium hardware and I'm
 trying this via ztdummy.

It's likely an issue of permissions.  Check the permissions of
/dev/dahdi/pseudo versus the user your Asterisk daemon runs at.  If
necessary,
change your permission script in /etc/udev.d/ to match the ownership of the
pseudo device to the user running Asterisk.

Re: [asterisk-users] Fax for Asterisk, capable of receiving from website but not from fax machine !!

2010-07-13 Thread khalid touati
'Fax for Asterisk' is a commercial application sold by Digium. This is not
their official support channel. Since you paid for the product, why not
contact them directly about your problem?

i did get this version for free after buying a (actually several) digium
telephony card, but i realized that they're not supporting the free version
after talking and emailing them, actually i was calling Digium support for
all the past year and i can say that (for me) it was good:4/5 satisfaction,
but this time with fax, i didn't get much help, i was redirected to the
community and that why i posted. by the way is there a reliable alternative?
is for 1.6 rfax is doing good (if anyone worked with it)?

[asterisk-users] Can't compile DAHDI - wrong kernel source

2010-07-13 Thread Thermal Wetland
I have a virtual server with godaddy but can not compile DAHDI as it
complains that I do not have the correct kernel source.

The package installed is - kernel-devel-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5.i686:
Package kernel-devel-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5.i686 already installed and latest
version
Nothing to do

uname -a returns:
Linux ip-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.ip.secureserver.net 2.6.18-028stab064.7 #1 SMP Wed
Aug 26 13:11:07 MSD 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

When I try to compile DAHDI it fails with:
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/asterisk/dahdi-linux-complete-2.3.0.1+2.3.0/linux/drivers/dahdi/firmware'
You do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.18-028stab064.7 kernel
installed.

Is there a way to trick DAHDI to use the installed kernel?

Thanks for the help!

Re: [asterisk-users] How to calculate number of speakers needed for PAGING and INTERCOM coverage area?

2010-07-13 Thread bruce bruce
Thanks for the input guys. For other refrence, a CyberData Voip Amplifier
which supplies 10 Watt to each of the two bogen 30 Watt speakers did the job
for a 35, square feet warehouse with environmental noise level of
slightly higher than standard but not those of industrial.

Only two speakers and done deal. Though I know that three speaker would have
been the perfect solution but 4 would cover every single little corner and
be an overkill.

 I agree with horns you'll usually get better coverage. I have done
 this in the past with 5 speakers for a 30k sq ft warehouse very good
 coverage. Using bogen horns. This was for a 300ft by 100ft warehouse.
 Starting at 30 ft of the 300ft wall at the 50ft line off the 100ft
 side I installed a horn every 60ft alternating facing one north and
 the other south, which ended up 3 facing one way and 2 the other. You
 can get double horn speakers which will face 2 sides. I wouldn't mount
 them on the wall specifically not so low as fork lifts and what not
