[Asterisk-Users] PHP Manager
Hi all, I have a small problem to execute Asterisk Commands in Asterisk Manager using PHP. I am able to run all Asterisk Manager command but the problem is comming with asterisk command. here is the code i am trying to run. ?php $socket = fsockopen(localhost,5038, $errno, $errstr, $timeout); fputs($socket, Action: Login\r\n); fputs($socket, UserName: 1212\r\n); fputs($socket, Secret: 1212\r\n\r\n); fputs($socket, Action: Command\r\n); fputs($socket, Command: reload\r\n\r\n); #Working well fputs($socket, Command: show channels\r\n\r\n); #Not working Working well fputs($socket, Command: 'show channels'\r\n\r\n); #Not working Working well $wrets=fgets($socket,128); ? If you see in my code when i am calling only reload command working but when i am trying to call piar command it is just prompting : == Manager '1212' logged off from localhost without showing channels Please advice me to solve this problem. -- Thank You, Code Lover ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Maximizing audio quality
Wolfgang Borgon wrote: A RAW file I created after converting from MP3 and WAV, sounded raspy. Does anyone have any tips for creating the best quality voice recordings? Generally you'd use a good-quality microphone for your recordings. The adage Garbage in = garbage out couldn't be more true in this instance. If you're looking for studio-quality recordings, use studio-quality equipment. Those $5 mics won't be satisfactory :) Then there's issues of sibilance, which isn't that apparent when you're recording at a higher rate, but is really pronounced when you downsample to 8k for the GSM files. The raspiness you encountered was probably sibilance, where words that have the ess sound in them are boosted due to the position of the microphone relative to the person being recorded. If you're going the budget route, at least get a decent quality sound card to record with. Another important factor to consider is your recording location -- try and record in as quiet a place as you can find. Some audio processing software (Goldwave, Audacity et al) have filters that can knock out background noise, alter volume, apply equalization etc. You can use these effects to enhance the recording. But again, if your original recording already sounds bad there's not much you can do to make it sound nice.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: 4-port external sip fxo which doesnt suck?
I'd agree with you on the quality of the audio. But, unless they've changed a lot in the last year, the 1204's sip support and mgmt leaves a lot to be desired. For a box that has very poor reviews, it sure is great to use a box that you can throw in the closet and just forget about it. They just always work and sound great. The first time you configure one is a bit of a pain, but after that it is cruz time. I use a linux mib browser (mbrowse) because I work in an usoft free environment. I can drop ship a unit and have them plug it into the pbx lan and then configure it remotely. I find snmp more convenient than a browser interface.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] ISDN/CAPI outgoing calls - weirdness with ringing
Armin, Please find attached the log file for 4 x test calls: 1. Call to Orange GSM mobile phone (effectively ISDN all the way) - works as expected 2.

Call to CW analogue phone (local loop unbundling operator) - double ringing problem 4. Call to SIPgate/Magrethea number (complex call routing) - works as expected (I am slightly suprised :o) Set up is: - Fedora Core 4, on P4 3.2GHz, 1Gb RAM - AVM C4 with: - 2 x ISDN2e in P2P mode on 01905756700/01905755777/0190475289x - 1 x ISDN2e in P2MP for other bits the main number is 01905756700 - Asterisk 1.2.1 - Chan-capi-cm-0.6.1 all cleanly compiled and re-installed for testing. I use a macro for placing the outgoing calls (copy at the start of the log) which aides with debugging and ensures the correct '6700' number (main PBX number) is used.

This is not a problem of CAPI. When you specify 'b' for early-b3, you will get the tones from the switch. If your phone adds its own tone, even when it receives progress tones, then it is incorrect (maybe wrong setup). Armin However the difference that I see looking at the Cisco 7960 phone which shows a version of the SIP messages on its status line is: 100 Proceeding 183 Session Progress 180 Ringng Destination the order of which varies and depends on the dialled number. Some dialled numbers go: 100-183-180 and these produce one set of alerting/ringing correctly. Some dialled numbers go: 100-183 and stay in state 183 until the called party answers - these are the ones that produce no ringing. Can you provide a verbose log level 5 with 'capi debug' ? I would like to compare the capi messages. Maybe the switch just send an alerting message. If I add the 'o' to the existing 'b' flag then dial it appears to change the behaviour so that the phone goes 100-180 for all calls but some give me a single (phone generated US style ring) while others give the 'double ringing'. The ones that produce double ringing are the ones that would have rung before, while the ones that now produce ringing (from the exchange) are the ones that used to be silent. When using 'o', chan_capi is doing early-b3 from the beginning before sending any digits and you will get b3-data in each case.

[Asterisk-Users] UK, Disconnect supervision
Jonathan, many thanks for your reply. The adapter has firmware version 3.1.3(GWa). Does that version have problems with diconnect tones? Would you recommend I should upgrade? Can you give me some reasons or point me to resources (apart from google) where I can research further? What would you say are the risks of upgrading? I am usually a bit anxious about firmware upgrade because I have that fixed idea that EITHER the new firmware may break other features (like - registration problems with SIP provider, connectivity issues and so on) OR there may be some problem during firmware upgrade which damages the device in question. For example, for the Grandstream Budgetone 100 phone, power outage during firmware upgrade from TFTP will damage the device(1). And I can't fix it once it's broken; it's not like a computer where I simply reinstall the OS / put in a new component etc. Once it's gone, it's gone. My fears are probably totally unfounded, but better safe than sorry. So I wouldn't upgrade unless there are good reasons to do so (if it ain't broke, don't fix it). But thanks very much for that hint. I actually have two other adapters, and they may be way out of date: 2.0.13(GWg) - so they may really need updating.

[Asterisk-Users] unable to make calls out using [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am setting up a phone system using [EMAIL PROTECTED], version 1.5. It runs Asterisk 1.0.9 built by [EMAIL PROTECTED] on a i686 running Linux (Asterisk info). I had some bigger problems: In AmpPortal / Setup/ Extensions: When I added new SIP devices and then looked at the resulting sip.conf I saw that the file got messed up - per extension settings were duplicated. As result the SIP devices didn't register anymore. I then hand edited my sip.conf and devices did register successfully. I then added estensions, but when I tried to initiate phone calls, no phone rang. So I hand edited extensions.conf as well, and lo-and-behold it worked! Since I have some tighter deadline I decided that it wasn't woth trying to use the AMP-portal way of things and simply scrapped the config files which were offered and to use hand edited files instead. System works very well now (except some features I still have to implement). Despite of all this I am NOT disappointed about [EMAIL PROTECTED] - I think it's a great software package, and I am very grateful that there are people who take the trouble of setting all that up and to offer it in such an easy-to-install package. The most likely reason that it didn't work is probably my own ignorance. There would probably be thousands of people who successfully used [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well. I just didn't have time to fiddle with it. But the system works now fine with hand edited files.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Stay away from Grandstream!
Stay away from Grandstream and AddPac. These are some of the companies with undereducated software developers that have problems with understanding written english, mainly the SIP RFC documents. I learned this the hard way, wasting half a year with helping them fix problems which shouldn't be there if they have had read/implemented the RFC correctly. Basically, they sell beta quality hardware and then you co-share their final firmware development costs by providing free testing/QA. I blame their sales management for pushing developers to release without proper testing. GXP2000 is much more buggy echo-can wise than the earlier models. For now, I'm back to more expensive equipment. We're not that rich to pay twice.

My only experience is with their Budgetone 102. You basically get you pay for. I have since purchased a pair of Aastra 480i. Much much better.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Stay away from Grandstream!
Hmmm... I feel that this is a little unfair towards GrandStream and other like vendors. Any vendor on the market has issues with their firmware, I can list many: Sipura/LinkSys SPA 841 (Latest firmware): 1. Phone doesn't re-register upon network loss 2. Phone firware becomes stalled, without any indication of an error while all functions continue working 3. Transfer function doesn't work as it should 4. MWI doesn't always work correctly 5. I can really go on and on... WellTech (Latest firmware): 1. Support for g729 is buggy 2. Echo cancel is buggy and causes ATA to crash 3. IP phones have no ability to re-configure the function keys on the box 4. Transfer/Conference buttons don't do anytning I can go on and on with other vendors, including Cisco, Nortel and more. The thing I'm saying is that any phone you'd test would run into issues at some time or other - claiming to stay away from one or another causes you to not even consider alternatives, thus at the end, you reach the Microsoft way of thinking. Last week, I got a phone to test with called a MicroNet. Actually, I got 3 phones, all from Micronet. I started them up, found out that 2 of them were actually WellTech phones (well, the shape told me, I hoped the firmware will be different, but I found out wrong). The third phone was different. It's called a Micronet SP5106 which to my surprise, worked almost flawlessly out of the box. It took me a while to configure the network correctly, and to understand the logic of the menu, but after that, the rest was easy. Transfer, 3-Way conference, Forward, DND, VoiceMail button, everything worked. What didn't work was configurable from the web backend - in other words: I couldn't find a flaw (yet). The only flaw I did find was this: the phone has the ability to connect to 3 SIP accounts at the same time. Upon defining a new account, you need to physically RESET the phone, other than that, the phone works just fine.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Stay away from Grandstream!
I think the unfairness stems from Grandstreams generally being people's first IP phone - it seems like a cheap entry point to try things out.

This is perhaps the fault of the software guys, as they allow you to go beyond what what the acoustic coupling was good for, but then again I am pretty sure they allowed the volume to be increased due to customer complaints of the phones being too quiet. :-) we were forced to use the AC adapter. And many of the other phones suffer from all kinds of stupid little intermittent issues such as dropped calls, reboots and strange ticking and static on the line, even on internal calls. We discovered that quite a few of the network cables that came with the phones seemed to be faulty, which when replacing them seemed to solve some of our dropped calls and spontaneous reboot problems. Some of the phones had bad handset cables. Replacing some of those seemed to get rid of some of the static issues.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] 4-port external sip fxo which doesnt suck?
Just a small word of caution on the spa3k... It too has issues with handling echo cancellation on long loops. Or, maybe I should say on loops with long echo tails. Sipura/Linksys tech support has suggested downgrading from the current 3.1.7 firmware to 3.1.3a to improve the issue. I've not heard of anyone having issues on shorter pstn loops, and I've not been able to define long vs short loops. Go with SPA-3000. While it's much more awkward to maintain, they're rock stable and provide the features they advertise for. I'd also add AddPac VoiceFinder series as being not 100% asterisk compatible, expensive and not worth your time (learned this the hard way). It took me 6 months to persuade AddPac that each FXO/FXS has to use unique Call-ID on the same gateway device to work properly with Asterisk and other properly written SIP proxies etc. HTH, Vahan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm looking for a 4-port external sip fxo which doesn't suck. o) Clipcomm CG-410.

You haven't told us what version of Asterisk you are using, but you are probably using 1.0.x, if it doesn't support that option. Regardless, that option won't do what you want anyway, since you are using agents and not dynamic queue members. The 'persistentagents' option in agents.conf could do it, but that's still an ugly way to handle it. Since agents can be logged off using CLI commands or manager interface actions, it would be quite simple to write a script to run via a cron job late at night to forcibly log off all your agents. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[Asterisk-Users] What setup
I am an Asterisk newbie and don't have any telecom experience. I do know some about Linux and Windows as a sysadmin of Windows servers. I need to know what hardware to buy to replace a broken PBX. I have currently: -CBeyond as my carrier -16 port Cisco router with analog termination (not sure on terminology) into the building -Broken PBX: analog ATT Merlin system (not sure on model #, but could get it) -Second PBX: analog ATT Merlin system -8 extensions (~14 if you include the second ATT Merlin system serving our other business) -2 DIDs (~4 if you include our second business) -14 analog phones So, what are my options? I am looking for the cheapest/best solution. I could switch to a digital PRI or CAS line from my telco as another option, but I assume I would need to switch both PBXs and all phones to digital as well in that case. I need auto-attendant and music on hold, especially. Are these easy to set up? I installed Asterisk @ Home and it is running, but I need to RTFM to configure it.

[Asterisk-Users] Driver not configuring correctly on TE210P for CCS
Hi all, It sas been a while since I have been on the mailing list but am really hoping someone can help me. Using Dell SC1420, Fedora 4, Asterisk 1.2.1 and a TE210P I cant seem to get the card to configure itself properly for CCS, it always appears as ESF in the /var/log/messages file, although ztcfg reports correctly. No compiles errors that I saw and OS has been updated etc. I am not new to asterisk but this has me stumped (googled and also emailed digium but probably due to the holidays not had a reply.) If I try to run asterisk it complains about not finding the bchannel on 24, note it should be configured to 16 so again I assume its not paying attention to the /etc/zaptel.cong Note: This exact config worked perfectly on asterisk 1.0 and a E100P card. var/log/messages: Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: Zapata Telephony Interface Registered on major 196 Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt :03:0d.0[A] - GSI 49 (level, low) - IRQ 201 Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: Found TE2XXP at base address ddfbff80, remapped to f882ef80 Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: TE2XXP version c01a0164, burst OFF, slip debug: OFF Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: FALC version: 0005, Board ID: 00 Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: Reg 0: 0x32c0e400 Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: Reg 1: 0x32c0e000 Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: Reg 2: 0x Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: Reg 3: 0x Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: Reg 4: 0x0001 Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: Reg 5: 0x Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: Reg 6: 0xc01a0164 Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: Reg 7: 0x1000 Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: Reg 8: 0x Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: Reg 9: 0x00ff Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: Reg 10: 0x Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: TE2XXP: Launching card: 0 Dec 28 12:51:55 caudi_apx1 kernel: TE2XXP: Setting up global serial parameters Dec 28 12:51:56 caudi_apx1 kernel: Found a Wildcard: Wildcard TE210P Dec 28 12:51:56 caudi_apx1 kernel: About to enter spanconfig!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] What setup
John - You might consider getting a T1 and splitting it using some of the pipe for your voice traffic and some for your data traffic. You can set up a VLAN on your internal network for your phones if you want to migrate to SIP phones and Asterisk, or you could implement a channel bank out to your existing analog handsets.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] PRI: This number has been disconnected
I believe this behavior has nothing to do with the [EMAIL PROTECTED] Scripts. I think the problem is in the PRI signalization.

When calling an invalid number using, I expect to hear: We're sorry you have reached a number which has been disconnected ... And that is indeed what I hear when I dial out from [*] using analog FXO, or VoicePulse or NuPhone. When I dial that same number trough the T1 / PRI interface however, I only hear the allison7/all-circuits-busy-now message. There was another issue like this in an old post (http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2004-April/043597.html) but I think it isn't the same. SNIP I believe this has to do with the AMP macro's being used in [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am seeing similar things. For instance: One issue I have is that when a route has multiple trunks, and the first trunk after a while returns with 'NOANSWER', it merrily continues to the next trunk, which is not quite the behavior I'd expect. Especially as the primary trunk (IAX/VoipBuster) is *much* cheaper (ie free) as compared to the second trunk (Zap/g1), but the switch is made without any message. This could mean that you might be talking to someone on a different trunk, and instead of a free call, be paying normal fees. This could become expensive if you're calling the USA from Europe!... I am currently looking in to ways to enhance those macro's to respond more reliably, as well as return more useful information (busy tone on busy and no-answer, number disconnected info, etc.) when needed. If I do get to a satifactory set of macro's, I will put them up on the Wiki and let the list know...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] What setup
Sending the message 3 times within 7 minutes wont get you responses any faster than just sending it once. Welcome to asterisk. Put your seat belts on and get ready for a few weeks of reading, testing, and caffeine. Here are my recommendations (assuming you want to set it up alone, otherwise just get the Business edition from digium.com): 1. Read, read, and read again 2. Test, test, and test again 3. Don't give up. 4. When everything fails, start at 1 again (or try this list :) 5. Get a T1 card anyhow for your system, even if you will stay with POTS, use a channel bank, or if you want you can use SIP gateways. 6. Try not using [EMAIL PROTECTED] or the like, it will just make sure that you never know asterisk (I know some people here are going to be all over me for this one), well sort of. In any case this only applies if you want to *know* asterisk. 7. A few days/weeks/months down the road when you have made it far enough to be able to jump into an argument of [EMAIL PROTECTED] vs asterisk from source, come back here and help other people :), and setup your system for production. Make sure: A. Your dialplan is clean (no duplicate extensions, no overlapping extensions, secure contexts, and easy to add, delete extensions, easy to modify extensions in just one place, like a macro) B. Your Linux distro is one that you know well enough to handle if anything outside asterisk goes wrong. C. Your Linux distro is one that *you* trust for being up as long as there is a power failure. Here are some URLs to get you started: http://www.asterisk.org/ ; well the asteirsk site http://www.voip-info.org/ ;the wiki http://www.asteriskdocs.org/ ;the asterisk docs project http://www.digium.com/ ;digiums site http://lists.digium.com/ ;the list archive http://bugs.digium.com/ ;the bug tracker for asterisk, I find this very helpful to see what an app is suppose to do to get it working before the docs are out, or to write up the wiki for an app :) in addition to the above you can search the lists using google, by entering site:lists.digium.com as part of your search term.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] What setup
John, I just switched from an old Merlin system myself! (haven't looked back). I was in the same situation as you (Windows server sysadmin with minimal *nix experience). Here's the setup I have currently in production: -Custom built server: Gigabyte motherboard with AMD Sempron 2800+ (I think), 1GB ram, 80GB IDE hard drive. Built for around $400. -Digium TDM04B in the server--supports 4 analog POTS lines (regular analog phone lines). If you have more lines, I think the 'preferred method' is to get a T1 or channel bank, then put a Digium T1 card in the server (instead of having a bunch of TDM04B's to connect on the analog lines). -19 Grandstream GXP-2000's (cheap and work well) -2 Polycom 601's (for the executives who think they need fancier _looking_ phones) -2 UTStarCom F1000's (uses WiFi; for myself and the custodian) When we changed phone systems, I made the decision to scrap all the analog phones and just replace them with the GXP-2000's. For ease of administration, I wanted to 'do it right' and not have a mish-mosh of analog and SIP phones. In our situation, it wasn't that much more money (the GXP-2000's are pretty inexpensive) and ensures everyone has the features they need. I have to confessI have all my stuff running on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I know I'll get flamed for saying this, because I know I should probably use Asterisk a-la-carte, but [EMAIL PROTECTED] is so easy I just couldn't resist!! I setup a system at my house first using this tutorial: http://mundy.org/blog/index.php?p=81 Then Googled and customized from there. Are you looking to get rid of both Merlin systems? I think after you get Asterisk setup at the one location, everyone else on the other Merlin system will get jealous :P The telecommuters love the remote capabilities of VOIP (using a softphone or the like) to work from home just like they're at work. Music on hold and auto-attendants are super easy to setup using [EMAIL PROTECTED] and/or AMP. [EMAIL PROTECTED] comes with music on hold by default. Browse through that tutorial above; it has all the commonly used features spelled out in 1,2,3 steps.

I agree, GrandStream does seem to become the poor man's VoIP solution - making the bar for other VoIP phones very low to pass. I believe that GrandStream have a very good chance to basically being bought by a bigger company, like what happened to Sipura. What would happen then would be that people would say: Oh, GrandStream, Very good - after all bought them. I found that sometimes the most surprising hardware comes from non-known companies, like PerfecTone or Micronet. I think the main thing is the try things out, and find out what is the best suited IPhone for you.

The thing I'm saying is that any phone you'd test would run into issues at some time or other - claiming to stay away from one or another causes you to not even consider alternatives, thus at the end, you reach the Microsoft way of thinking. Last week, I got a phone to test with called a MicroNet. Actually, I got 3 phones, all from Micronet. I started them up, found out that 2 of them were actually WellTech phones (well, the shape told me, I hoped the firmware will be different, but I found out wrong). The third phone was different. It's called a Micronet SP5106 which to my surprise, worked almost flawlessly out of the box. It took me a while to configure the network correctly, and to understand the logic of the menu, but after that, the rest was easy. Transfer, 3-Way conference, Forward, DND, VoiceMail button, everything worked. What didn't work was configurable from the web backend - in other words: I couldn't find a flaw (yet). The only flaw I did find was this: the phone has the ability to connect to 3 SIP accounts at the same time.

Finding the root cause may require you to implement the syslog server and debug server options in the spa3k, and compare those log entries to what * records for log messages during a failure. Implementing the log functions on the spa3k does require a reboot.

[Asterisk-Users] Problems with multiple outbound calls going to PSTN - Wildcard TE405P
Hello everyone, Im having an outbound calling issue with our SIP phones. When one call is made to the PSTN another person trying to call receives a 404 error on the SIP phone. If we call the PSTN using SIP phone A and also calling from SIP phone B to SIP phone C everything works. The only problem were seeing is multiple calls going to the PSTN. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom Asterisk 1.2.1 and Sipura SPA3000 strange problem
For somereason I think it's the polycom, which means I need logging for the Polycom and not the spa.

Sometimes (happens around 3 times a day, but sometimes far more often), while on the phone to an outside caller (on the PSTN using the FXO on the spa3k), the call dissconects from the polycom and goes thru the incoming extension for the sipura. In other words, astrisk at least as far as I can see from what gets executed in the DP (and maybe spa3k) sees this as if the follwoing has happened: 1. The polycom user hungup, 2. A new call came in on the spa3k. The follwoing is part of the log that I think might help: Dec 28 01:28:24 DEBUG[3368] channel.c: Didn't get a frame from channel: SIP/201-8ba1 Dec 28 01:28:24 DEBUG[3368] channel.c: Bridge stops bridging channels SIP/201-8ba1 and SIP/804-fd83 SIP/201 is the Polycom, while SIP/804 is the spa3k.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom Asterisk 1.2.1 and Sipura SPA3000 strange problem
In any case I'm trying to figure out if maybe someone else has seen this problem. Or if they know what it might be.
