[asterisk-users] call screening feature
Hi, I have our software with SIP running on it.I configured asterisk server as proxy. How do I implement the call screening features(incoming and outgoing) using asterisk server.Please suggest me how to proceed on this.

[asterisk-users] Newbie Queue: Simple Queue Problem
I am trying to build a simple queue for the receptionist phone. In other words, there is only 1 agent and that is the receptionist phone. I just defined a few lines in queues.conf [console] strategy = ringall member = SIP/4000 ;4000 is the console extension In extensions.conf, it is: exten = 4000,1,Answer() exten = 4000,n,Queue(console) exten = 4000,n,HangUp() I pressed DND on 4000 and then call from another SIP phone (say 4001). As expected, I saw 1 caller in the queue by queue show and that is great. exten = 4001,1,SetMusicOnHold() exten = 4001,n,Dial(SIP/4001,20) exten = 4001,n,VoiceMail,4001 exten = 4001,n,Playback(vm-goodbye) exten = 4001,n,Wait(2) exten = 4001,n,HangUp() However, when I call from an outside line to another extension which I then forward to 4000, I cannot get into the queue. exten = 98786983,1,Answer() exten = 98786983,n,Dial(SIP/4000,20) exten = 98786983,n,HangUp() Any thoughts? ___ -- 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
Re: [asterisk-users] dialstatus and cancelled calls
--- Matt Riddell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=12230 Thanks Matt. However, I may be wrong but this isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I would like Asterisk to transparently set my CDR(disposition) field to reflect if a call has simply timed out (NO ANSWER) or if the caller hung up prior to ANSWER (thus CANCEL). I think that it's all in the cdr.h, cdr.c and app_dial.c files. cdr.h has: #define AST_CDR_NULL0 #define AST_CDR_FAILED (1 0) #define AST_CDR_BUSY(1 1) #define AST_CDR_NOANSWER(1 2) #define AST_CDR_ANSWERED(1 3) So I guess we would need an AST_CDR_CANCEL. cdr.c has: void ast_cdr_noanswer(struct ast_cdr *cdr) Here too I would add something like void ast_cdr_cancel(struct ast_cdr *cdr) then would add a condition to: char *ast_cdr_disp2str(int disposition) such as case AST_CDR_CANCEL: return CANCEL; in app_dial.c static struct ast_channel *wait_for_answer would call ast_cdr_cancel(in-cdr); whenever it subsequently calls strcpy(status, CANCEL); Now the problem is: can I define AST_CDR_CANCEL in cdr.h? And how? The source code I'm referring to is 1.2 but I think it's similar to 1.4/1.6. Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

Re: [asterisk-users] asterisk.conf uniquename or sysname for uniqueid field in CDR
--- Vieri [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I set uniquename = MYHOST in asterisk.conf (under [options]) so that my uniqueid data shows up as MYHOST.time.seq. First of all, I would like to know if uniquename (or sysname?) will still be valid across future * versions (mainly 1.6). Secondly, is there a way to specify uniquename as an asterisk option at the command line? (asterisk -h doesn't show me anything regarding this feature) Finally, how can I set uniquename to a system value (say, dynamically set to whatever `hostname` yields)? Something like uniquename = `hostname` so that I don't have to statically set it on each asterisk server? I just realized that uniquename is only available after applying the BRISTUFF patches. So let me rephrase my question: will Asterisk ever include the uniquename feature in its base code? If not, why? (I would prefer not to apply BRIstuff since I don't have Junghanns hardware). Thanks.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.4 reliability problems
Hello All, We have been experiencing some ongoing reliability problems with Asterisk for quite some time, and I am trying to find out if anyone else has experienced the same problems. We are running asterisk 1.4.17~dfsg-2+b1 on Debian Lenny, with a Digium PRI card, and have approximately 120 sip peers, mostly Snom 360s, with a few Grandstream GXP2000 and a handful of Handytone 486 units. The symptoms, when they occur, are as follows: -The inability to receive incoming calls to our ISDN PRI (callers get a busy tone), this starts off becoming intermittent but becomes permanent. -Asterisk cli commands work once, but then no longer return any data until disconnecting and reconnecting to the cli, i.e. sip show peers, show channels etc. -Internal SIP calls stop working -Calls remain stuck in queues, the queue members do not ring, and show as Busy when issuing a 'queue show' command. We've actually had these sort of problems for many months now, which originally started when we were running Asterisk 1.2 on Gentoo. We have done a large amount of fault finding and testing, which has involved a replacement ISDN card, reinstall on complete different server hardware, and changing to Asterisk 1.4 on Debian Lenny. I believe there may be two separate issues here - we did track down one problem to our cacti and nagios monitoring scripts, which were connecting and disconnecting to the manager interface several times per minute, which eventually caused asterisk to give the above symptoms, although in addition to the above, asterisk would consume 100% cpu on the box, and eventually need a hard-reboot of the server. I posted about this to the list a few weeks ago, and it was confirmed that this could cause such a problem. After stopping these services the problems were much reduced. However, we have now completely disabled the manager interface (enabled=no in manager.conf), and yesterday the problem occurred again - a restart of asterisk got everything going again. So really I'm at a loss as to where to go from here. A colleague of mine also has the same problem at his site running Asterisk 1.4 on Debian Lenny, he has never used the manager interface, and has completely different server hardware and ISDN card, so I wonder if it's a Debian specific problem? One option is to try reverting back to Asterisk 1.2, but that isn't really a long-term solution. We also had major problems with 1.2 with our Snom 360 phones, as with any Snom firmware 6.2.2 there was a serious problem whereby on hangup the channels were not cleared down, meaning we had many outgoing ISDN calls held open for many hours until we realised the problem. This problem does not occur in Asterisk 1.4, although we have many log messages such as: chan_sip.c: Remote host can't match request BYE to call callid so I don't know if this is anything to worry about? Any help would be gratefully received!

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.4 reliability problems
I would suggest upgrading to at least 1.4.18. I was able to run it for about 2 weeks and almost one million calls before I could get it to crash, and the 1.4.19RC2 seems to fix even more of the locking issues as well.

[asterisk-users] Call signalling on BT FeatureLine Compact (Sangoma A200)
Hi, I have a TrixBox install with a Sangoma A200 and 4 FXO ports, there are 3 BT lines connected directly to these ports. One of the lines has BT FeatureLine Compact and this is the line I am having problems with, the other 2 lines are working perfectly, detecting CID, answering incoming calls and placing external calls via SIP devices. I am receiving a error log entry: chan_zap.c: Ring/Off-hook in strange state 6 on channel 1 Incoming calls are detected by asterisk, however answering the SIP devices does not answer the call, and placing a call via line one does nothing, just silence. I contacted BT about it (I know, what was I expecting!) they informed me that I must use the number 9 to access a external number! I have asked them to pass it to the technical department to see if they have any input. Is there someother signalling I should be using to detect the incoming calls on a BT FeatureLine?

When what you really wanted was just 3 lines in a hunt-group on a single number (possibly, I don't know exactly what you want) As for signalling, it's no different on the feature line to any other BT POTS line, you just need to prefix outgoing calls with '9'. Why you got featureline on one line and not the other 2 is odd to me, but that's BT saledroids for you So for the dialling issues, I'd suggest a trixbox list/forum to start with, but if that fails, then you'll need to post your configs here - zapata.conf, zaptel.conf, etc. to start with, then the dialplan to carry on with... But before you go any further, I'd suggest going to Argos and getting 1 or 2 standard £1.99 analogue phones and plugging them in and test the lines with the phones first... Just in-case..

If so, it might help for testing. I will enable full debug logging. I suspect that we could reproduce the original problem with the manager interface by stress testing it with multiple connections, but I'm not sure if this is the same problem that we are currently experiencing. I also want to avoid causing problems on our production system at the moment, as it is rather 'delicate' as far as the users are concerned at the moment.

We simulate 'agents' logging in and out by pausing and unpausing queue members. I am now going to add a cron job to restart asterisk daily, in the hope that until the problem is resolved properly, at least it will help relieve some of the pain by making it stable for a full 24hrs at a time.

I know a lot of these problems still existed under 1.4.17. A million calls sounds good, but 2 weeks, not so good. It's a bit disappointing to me that crashing /ever/ is acceptable, I had always had the understanding that asterisk was supposed to be rock-solid. I suppose it's some consolation that its not just me that has problems! Thanks for all the input. I think short term I will restart asterisk daily, then the action plan is to revert back to Debian Etch, and then install asterisk 1.4.18 from source, and hopefully this will improve things.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.4 reliability problems
I would suggest taking latest 1.4 branch from SVN (or 1.4.19-rc3 when it's out). There has been few deadlocks fixed since rc2. Recompile asterisk with DEBUG_THREADS enabled (in make menuselect), If you're not using safe_asterisk script to start it, you should execute also ulimit -c unlimited before launching asterisk.. When your asterisk is deadlocked, open CLI and execute core show locks. Copy that output, and submit to bugs.digium.com - it will tell developers where exactly is problem. Then, do killall -11 asterisk. It will dump asterisk to core file, and that might provide helpful information later. If your have been requested backtraces, look in /tmp (or in directory you launched asterisk from) for core file. Open that core file with gdb /usr/sbin/asterisk core. and take a dump of thread apply all bt full (make sure you set set pagination off in gdb before this) Regards, Atis On 3/18/08, Norman Franke [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Check around on bugs.digium.com.

When what you really wanted was just 3 lines in a hunt-group on a single number (possibly, I don't know exactly what you want) As for signalling, it's no different on the feature line to any other BT POTS line, you just need to prefix outgoing calls with '9'. Why you got featureline on one line and not the other 2 is odd to me, but that's BT saledroids for you So for the dialling issues, I'd suggest a trixbox list/forum to start with, but if that fails, then you'll need to post your configs here - zapata.conf, zaptel.conf, etc. to start with, then the dialplan to carry on with... But before you go any further, I'd suggest going to Argos and getting 1 or 2 standard £1.99 analogue phones and plugging them in and test the lines with the phones first... Just in-case..

It's a bit disappointing to me that crashing /ever/ is acceptable, I had always had the understanding that asterisk was supposed to be rock-solid. I suppose it's some consolation that its not just me that has problems! Thanks for all the input. I think short term I will restart asterisk daily, then the action plan is to revert back to Debian Etch, and then install asterisk 1.4.18 from source, and hopefully this will improve things. Keep in mind that my tests go from 0 to 400 calls in about 1 minute then they keep that volume for several hours, and I kept running them for two weeks, and about 6 hours into the last test is when it crashed. I should mention that 1.2.26.2 is what I still use on all of my production servers and they will go for months without a crash. As for rebooting nightly or weekly, that is something we do on a lot of our high-volume servers just to be safe. When pushing Asterisk to high concurrent call volumes it is a good idea to give it a fresh start every day if you can. If Asterisk is being used as a standard office PBX it should be able to run for months with no crashes.

[asterisk-users] (Critical Updates) Asterisk 1.2.27, 1.4.18.1, 1.4.19-rc3, 1.6.0-beta6 Released
The Asterisk.org development team has released four new versions of Asterisk to address critical security vulnerabilities. AST-2008-002 details two buffer overflows that were discovered in RTP codec payload type handling. * http://downloads.digium.com/pub/security/AST-2008-002.pdf * All users of SIP in Asterisk 1.4 and 1.6 are affected. AST-2008-003 details a vulnerability which allows an attacker to bypass SIP authentication and to make a call into the context specified in the general section of sip.conf. * http://downloads.digium.com/pub/security/AST-2008-003.pdf * All users of SIP in Asterisk 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, or 1.6 are affected. AST-2008-004 details some format string vulnerabilities that were found in the code handling the Asterisk logger and the Asterisk manager interface. * http://downloads.digium.com/pub/security/AST-2008-004.pdf * All users of Asterisk 1.6 are affected. Asterisk 1.2.27 and 1.4.18.1 are releases that only contain changes to fix these security vulnerabilities. In addition to fixes for these security issues, 1.4.19-rc3 and 1.6.0-beta6 contain a number of other bug fixes over the previous release candidates and beta releases for the upcoming 1.4.19 and 1.6.0 releases.

[asterisk-users] AEL2 Hint Parking
I've been reading most of the day and can't seem to find a clear
definition of the syntax for parking lot hints in AEL2. I have tried
all of the following and they either do not light up the line button on
my Snom 300 or give syntax errors:
hint(park/701) 701 = {
ParkedCall(701);
}
hint(park:701) 701 = {
ParkedCall(701);
}
hint(park/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) 701 = {
ParkedCall(701);
}
hint(park:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) 701 = {
ParkedCall(701);
}
I have this in my context as well:
includes {
parkedcalls;
}
I do not see any indication on the CLI that Asterisk is attempting to
notify my sip phone of the status change and I have verbose and debug at 20.
Any ideas?

Re: [asterisk-users] capacity
I did basically the same thing via T1 on the Definity. It took a bit of tinkering on the Definity to get the coverage path right. For your use, I would go for a RAID 5, dual power supply box with quite a bit of storage. RAM and CPU should not be an issue with anything new. I would go with a T1/E1 card with more than one port just for future possible growth or options. Echo cancellation is probably not needed but if in the budget, it can never hurt (never say never, seldomly or rarely I guess is more appropriate). I would probably go with an HP DL380.

Re: [asterisk-users] Hardphone SIP phone costs
when you look at the iPhone with all its amazing features for less than $500.00 it just doesn't make sense. Am I the only one that thinks this? Remember that the service providers such as ATT, Cingular, Sprint, Verizon and so forth, subsidize the cost of the phones because they make it up over the course of the contract. Hence the reason that some phones that have an initial cost when sold with a 1 year contract may be free initially with a 2 year contract. Even some VoIP phones and ATA's are done this way but only through service providers. Take the subsidies away and that iPhone is pretty pricey.

[asterisk-users] Deadair in queues.
Hello,
Asterisk Server A makes an outbound call, and upon connect:
exten
=1,n,RetryDial(/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/connecting,0,3,SIP/${connectto},,tT
)
(${connectto} most of the time happens to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 54321 {IP
masqueraded ofcourse})
..transfers it to * Server B (i.e 66.xx.xx.66) via SIP.
(Background info, Server B registers on Server A as 1000, and Server A
registers on Server B as 1000. Both of them are on direct IPs, and not
behind a hardware firewall. Server A has no iptables, and Server B has udp
ports 1 to 2 open, and tcp/udp 5060)
Server B has two queues, where there are agents logged in waiting to take
this call. Depending on what extension the calls comes to, i.e 12345 or
54321, it goes to separate queues. One queue has agents, who are on direct
IPs, not behind a firewall, all open ports, no XP firewall and using
eyebeam. The other queue has agents who are on NAT.
BOTH these queue agents complain of deadair. The call comes in, but the
agents say they don't hear anybody on the other side.
Server B looks like this (extensions.conf):
[test]
exten = 12345,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=${CALLERID(num)})
exten = 12345,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=PayMaker)
exten = 12345,n,Set(QUEUE_PRIO=5)
exten = 12345,n,Goto(collections,100,1)
[collections]
exten= 100,1,Answer
exten= 100,n,Verbose(CID: ${CALLERID(num)})
exten= 100,n,Ringing
exten= 100,n,Wait(2)
exten= 100,n,Queue(collections|Tt|0)
exten= 100,n,Voicemail(100,u)
exten= 100,n,Hangup
And [collections] in queues.conf looks like this:
[collections]
autofill = yes
musiconhold=default
strategy=rrmemory
timeout=5
retry=1
eventwhencalled=yes
wrapuptime=0
ringinuse=no
joinempty=strict
leavewhenempty=yes
maxlen = 0
memberdelay=1
announce-frequency = 60
announce-holdtime = no
;member = Agent/:1
member = Agent/10
member = Agent/11
member = Agent/12
member = Agent/13
-
Sometimes, instead of transferring via SIP to Server B, we transfer to a DID
(an external queue/callcenter). Even they complain of deadair.
Server B recently got iptables just this Monday. Before that Server B had no
iptables at all.
I'm really desperate in getting this dead air issue resolved. Because I've
been asking for some time now.
Best regards and much thanks,
Mark.
