I agree with LIU. A standard analog PBX tries to solve these billing problems (for example in Italy you have a billing pulse from the telco that can be intercepted by analog PBX and thus billed). Why shouldn't Asterisk try to do the same? There's too much confusion about call progress functionality, in Asterisk code and documentation. Shouldn't be better to say EITHER that it can work in any country but there's still too much work to do OR that it cannot work and then take it away from the source code? I mean if there's a way to make it work (using different systems for different countries), then I think it's an important feature (considering also that many companies including Digium sell FXO module for analog lines).

[asterisk-users] one touch recording problem in asterisk 1.4
Hi. I was using asterisk 1.2 on a box with sip phones attached and a long distance T1 line as the phone provider. We did a successful test of *1 allowing one-touch recording as set in the features.conf. Because of deadlock issues I decided to try 1.4 (latest svn as of yesterday) and the deadlock went away, but when we tried to use the *1 it was sent over the bridged channel rather than being responded to by the local box. I just see the start and end of vldtmf by the zap chnnel driver and that is it. I made no other configuration changes, so am I doing something wrong or is there a bug?

RE: [asterisk-users] Disconnection supervision: what about PBX
From: Yuan LIU Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 8:11 PM After reading through several recent threads, I started to wonder why the Cisco document (and other VoIP documents) appears to present this issue as VoIP gateway specific. Don't (plain old) PBX' face the same issue if they use analogue interfaces? If there are analogue PBX' at all, how do they solve the problem? Yuan, Well engineered analogue PBXs typically do not use standard loop start subscriber lines. When digital trunks are not an option, they use analogue PBX and/or DID trunks. At the very least, ground start circuits are preferred to avoid glare. The best call quality for analogue is achieved by using four-wire EM trunks that provide answer and disconnect supervision. There are two-wire trunks (which are probably more common), as well as different signalling methods. These trunks require special interface hardware, and I am unaware of any that work with Asterisk. As the cards are typically very expensive, it is usually better to go with digital if you require that functionality. It would be nice to see a BRI interface for Asterisk that works in North America, as BRI circuits are often comparable in price to analogue lines.

[asterisk-users] SIP/Console - ISDN ticks
I am experiencing audio ticks when doing calls from SIP or console to ISDN. Calls. Everything appears fine when doing ISDN-ISDN or SIP-SIP. Console calls results in 5-8 ticks a second, SIP calls are dependent on buffer size - 16ms are 1 tick a second, 8ms are 2-3 ticks a second. I recently moved the ISDN board and software to an upgraded PC with the exact same software configuration - prior to moving the audio was fine. There are no IRQ conflicts, and just for the heck of it I have experimented with moving the card to another PCI slot, enabling/disabling APIC/ACPI in kernel, using version 1.4.0 and trunk software. I have also tried to load and unload the computer using hdparm and other testprograms, it does not affect the ticking or zttest results. zttool reports no IRQ misses. zttest results are normally 99.755 but occasionally (once 2-3 minutes) dips to 99.96 or worse (99.92). - using ztdummy for timing and then running zttest is all bad I have tried to adjust the clocks using adj_clock (in zaptel source) by Cohen Tzafrir (Not knowing exactly what it would improve), it did adjust the clock to 100% with an occasional dip (every 2-3 minutes as before) - but it didn't affect audio ticks, which is always consistently bad. Zaptel is not compiled using MMX support. I would really appreciate any thoughts on this !!!

Hi everyone! I'm using Asterisk 1.2.7.1 on a CentOS 4 server with 5 - 9 agents and I'm having some issues with the Chanspy application. All the agents are on SIP channels with g711 and all the communications are inside a LAN. When I'm spying a SIP channel, the audio from one of the ends (normally the caller) sounds *extremely* (unusable) choppy, as if it was losing some frames. Sometimes the called party is heard almost perfectly, but there are ALWAYS sound quality issues. The agents do not report any problem, and the audio recorded with the Monitor applications sounds reasonably fine.

[asterisk-users] Connection problem w/ Attended Transfer
Hi all, I'm new posting here, though not to perusing. I'm having an issue with attended transfer and was wondering if anyone had heard of the problem/had any suggestions... Apologies in advance if this post is excessively newb-oid. - An incoming call C is passed to A, a POTS telephone connected via a Handytone 286 ATA. - A presses atxfer key, then dials B, a Win XP laptop running x-lite. - A and B talk and A hangs up to transfer C to B. - Most audio between B and C is lost, for the small proportion that does get through, latency is very high. - When B and C hang up, asterisk sometimes 'crashes' - incoming calls are rejected and the CLI becomes unresponsive to commands. Asterisk version is 1.2.14.

[asterisk-users] prob with not recognizing hangup, pickup - python
Hello there all. i have an agi-bin python script that calls out when a file is dropped into the /var/spool/outgoing the script seems to work, and the call is placed, but the script runs without knowing when the phone is picked up. i mean, the call is made, and the script begins to run. So by the time it is answered, most of it has already played out. is there a way that asterisk can initiate a phone call and wait to run the script untill after the phone is answered? also, is there a way to know when the line is disconnected ? I would like to write a function that would kill my script if the phone is disconnected. This is for an IVR application where we phone out to our customers if the status of one of their machines changes thanks for any tips, shawn ___ --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] Billing pulses
Hello, I've discovered that in Italy ISDN lines can be programmed to generate a billing pulse every n seconds (it dipends from the pricebook). The pulse has these figures: frequency 12 kHz ± 1% level .. 200 mVrms on 200 distortion... 5% pulse duration .125 ± 25 ms pause duration 180 ms period ... 300 ms Does someone know if these values can be used somehow to get an accurate billing using asterisk with these lines?

RE: [asterisk-users] Disconnection supervision: what about PBX
From:"Trevor G. Hammonds" [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Yuan LIU Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 8:11 PM After reading through several recent threads, I started to wonder why the Cisco document (and other VoIP documents) appears to present this issue as VoIP gateway specific.Don't (plain old) PBX' face the same issue if they use analogue interfaces?If there are analogue PBX' at all, how dothey solve the problem?Yuan,Well engineered analogue PBXs typically do not use standard loop startsubscriber lines.When digital trunks are not an option, they use analoguePBX and/or DID trunks.At the very least, ground start circuits arepreferred to avoid "glare".The best call quality for analogue is achievedby using four-wire EM trunks that provide answer and disconnectsupervision.There are two-wire trunks (which are probably more common), aswell as different signalling methods.These trunks require specialinterface hardware, and I am unaware of any that work with Asterisk.As thecards are typically very expensive, it is usually better to go with digitalif you require that functionality.It would be nice to see a BRI interfacefor Asterisk that works in North America, as BRI circuits are oftencomparable in price to analogue lines.

[asterisk-users] H323 to SIP - One way voice
Hello all, I want to use asterisk as protocol converter, H323 to SIP. I am using Asterisk 1.2.14 with chan_h323 and the free version of g729. When calling from SIP to H323 everything is fine. But when calling from H323 to SIP, the phone using SIP doesn't hear the other party. The phones and Asterisk are in the same subnet and the firewall of the Asterisk box is off. Please advice.

Re: [asterisk-users] New Issue
In most cases, if I follow these steps, I get a working asterisk with zaptel: in asterisk, 1.4 and trunk: make distclean rm /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/* then, get the zaptel source that corresponds to your version of asterisk. configure, make, make install it as root. If you try to use a 1.4 zaptel with 1.2, prepare to be disappointed Then in 1.2 asterisk, do a make, or in 1.4/trunk, do a configure ( with --enable-dev-mode if you do this often), then make menuselect, make, make install (as root). Check the zaptel module stuff in menuselect. If you still don't have zaptel, consult your config.log, and look for anything about zaptel. It might be informative.

[asterisk-users] Diagnosing poor call quality
Greetings list, We have an issue with call quality at 2 sites where the users (4 Elmeg IP290s at one site, 2 SPA942s at the other) do not have an asterisk box on-site. Each site has an 8mb down/448k up ADSL connection and the phones connect via SIP to an asterisk box in a datacentre using g729. The asterisk box in the datacentre connects to our other asterisk boxes providing pstn connectivity via IAX2. Latency between these boxes is between 1 and 2ms. The ADSL connections to the client sites are all consistently delivering latencies of sub-25ms to the datacentre and there is traffic shaping on that connection to give priority to any traffic from the phones' IPs. Comments from the users at these sites are as follows: call sounded like a dalek and I couldn't make out anything the caller was saying the phone on my desk is breaking up so badly it's virtually unusable calls sound like they're breaking up with metallic background noises We have quite a few customers with asterisk boxes on-site (with phones connected to them via the LAN) using ADSL connections from the same supplier, and are not having these issues with them. canreinvite=no and nat=yes are set on all these devices, since they are behind NAT. Each device re-registers with asterisk every 5 minutes to prevent any possible NAT state timeouts. Any pointers/places to look for potential problems would be much appreciated. Regards, Chris -- C.M.

RE: [asterisk-users] Having Trouble With Wait Command in CallbackContext
From:"Robert DeVries" [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am trying to get called back with a DISA dial tone when I call a trigger number. I got it to work almost the way I want, this is the callback context:[callback]exten= 501,1,Congestion() exten= 501,2,Hangup() exten =h,1,System(cp /etc/asterisk/callback.info /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing)exten =h,2,Hangup() With the above, the call comes into the trigger number, then the call file is copied and executed, I get the DISA dial tone, and can dial just fine. However, the problem is that the callback is a bit too fast, and sometimes calls back before I can hang up, even if I hang up fast. I want to program in a pause. However, when I do the following:exten= 501,1,Congestion() exten= 501,2,Hangup() exten =h,1,wait (10) exten =h,2,System(cp /etc/asterisk/callback.info /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing) exten =h,3,Hangup() the callback never occurs, the execution never gets beyond the wait command.So, two questions - why does it not execute once I insert the wait command, and how do I get a wait before the call file is run. People who know will answer the first question. But the second question has a ready answer: if you are using System(), why not insert a sleep right there? exten =h,1,System(sleep 10; cp /etc/asterisk/callback.info /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing) Hope this helps.

IAX2 operates on different ports that SIP. Whereas SIP operates on a control port and then create media ports, IAX2 only uses one.

Hi Billing Pulses only apply to analogue lines. You need special hardware in the PBX interface to detect them and pass them on to the Billing software. To my knowlege there is no Asterisk compatible hardware that does this.

[asterisk-users] Softphone +Realtime
Here's an interesting issue we're facing... We would like users to be able to use softphones from home/work and to use their same extensions they do at work. The first step of getting the phones to log in as their same extensions as work is easy and works. However, on the database side, once the client closes, the sip table is cleared of the ip to the phone. This means that no calls are forwarded to their office line anymore, and instead have to just go to voicemail. To fix this, the best I can think of is to replace those values nightly and update the timestamp so asterisk knows to update its values. Has anyone tried anything like this? I would like the phones to regrab their spot once the softphone is logged out. We have a Asterisk box (gentoo linux) which is running realtime (mysql 5). Our phones are Polycom SoundPoint 501s and the softphone is xlite (windows).

[asterisk-users] After upgrade to 1.4 transfers don't work properly
I have discovered an issue on my system after upgrading from 1.2.13 to 1.4. A call comes in on a T1 line and goes to a Polycom 501 SIP phone. I have confirmed this on multiple phones. When the called person answers and tries to transfer the call to another extension, the call successfully transfers, however the person answering the transfer cannot hear the person that called in, the caller. My dial command simply is exten=4000,1,Dial(SIP/4000,40,t) This DID work before when we were on 1.2.13. The CLI displays the following message: handle_response: Notify answer on an owned channel? I searched the web and found similar issues but not the same. http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=8696 This one has the error, however I don't get a segment fault and supposedly this was fixed in revision 50032. How do I get this revision? I'm guessing it's in a non-tested svn release which I don't think I want to install in a production system. Anyone else have this issue?

Re: [asterisk-users] Diagnosing poor call quality
The advertised datarate (8mb/448k) are the speeds at which the circuit between the customer and the central office is clocked and has no relationship with *effective* throughput. At the central office are *shared* facilities than connects each DSL connection with the network, and over subscription to these shared facilities cause congestion. Also, there is no QoS on the Internet, and congestion anywhere between the end points will cause poor call quality. Disclaimer: The following information is several months old--I've since moved my customers away from Qwest DSL. Here in Denver we have Qwest DSL service from a central office where the effective throughput drops to dialup speeds during the day. Regular web/email users don't usually notice packet loss because dropped packets are recovered by the TCP protocol. For VoIP on UDP, however, the call quality suffers to the point of being unusable (clicking, popping, and dropouts). Furthermore, Qwest doesn't have Denver peering with the rest of the Internet. To leave the Qwest network, connections typically go to DAL, LAX, or SFO on congested circuits. So beware of VoIP over DSL. Your users need to be aware of the tradeoffs between the cost of DSL vs. T1 and the effect on call quality. Chris, if your customers are in the western US then please contact me about dedicated circuits.

Re: [asterisk-users] After upgrade to 1.4 transfers don't work properly

A call comes in on a T1 line and goes to a Polycom 501 SIP phone. I have confirmed this on multiple phones. When the called person answers and tries to transfer the call to another extension, the call successfully transfers, however the person answering the transfer cannot hear the person that called in, the caller. My dial command simply is I had exactly the same problem when upgrading to 1.4 and I solved by making sure canreinvite=no is in sip.conf for every phone. -- Telecomunicaciones Abiertas de Mexico S.A. de C.V.

Re: [asterisk-users] Having Trouble With Wait Command in CallbackContext
I just tried what you suggested - it executes the sleep for 10 seconds, then skips down to the hangup, without copying the call file to begin the callback. However, I then broke the system command into two lines like this: exten =h,1,System(sleep 10) exten =h,2,System(cp /etc/asterisk/callback.info /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing) and it worked perfectly. Problem solved. Thanks. On 2/7/07, Yuan LIU [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: *Robert DeVries [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am trying to get called back with a DISA dial tone when I call a trigger number. I got it to work almost the way I want, this is the callback context: [callback] exten= 501,1,Congestion() exten= 501,2,Hangup() exten =h,1,System(cp /etc/asterisk/callback.info /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing) exten =h,2,Hangup() With the above, the call comes into the trigger number, then the call file is copied and executed, I get the DISA dial tone, and can dial just fine. However, the problem is that the callback is a bit too fast, and sometimes calls back before I can hang up, even if I hang up fast. I want to program in a pause. However, when I do the following: exten= 501,1,Congestion() exten= 501,2,Hangup() exten =h,1,wait (10) exten =h,2,System(cp /etc/asterisk/callback.info /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing) exten =h,3,Hangup() the callback never occurs, the execution never gets beyond the wait command. So, two questions - why does it not execute once I insert the wait command, and how do I get a wait before the call file is run. People who know will answer the first question. But the second question has a ready answer: if you are using System(), why not insert a sleep right there? exten =h,1,System(sleep 10; cp /etc/asterisk/callback.info /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing) Hope this helps.

Re: [asterisk-users] Test to Speech
Someone has worked with any test to speech software with aceptable quality in spanish? Probably in english the text to speech quality will be better. Witch test to speech software gave you the best results in spanish? Hi Andres, Check www.loquendo.com out... They have a nice web front end for demoing their product's abilites.

RE: [asterisk-users] Diagnosing poor call quality
Eric said: This should be a FAQ. Set the RTP packet size on the SPAs to .2 instead of .3 Thanks for the suggestion. I've logged into the offending devices and set both to .2. I'll see how it goes for 48 hours or so. I've looked at the Elmeg ip290's and they are set to 20ms from factory, so I don't think that's the issue there. Michael said: The advertised datarate (8mb/448k) are the speeds at which the circuit between the customer and the central office is clocked and has no relationship with *effective* throughput. I have run a few speed tests from the sites in question (iperf to the machine in the datacentre) and I'm consistently getting around 380k upstream and 5.5mbit downstream, even during peak hours. Some distance away from the quoted speeds, but still plenty enough to support 4 SIP devices using g729 (which should be about 30kbit/sec per device including packet overheads). So beware of VoIP over DSL. Your users need to be aware of the tradeoffs between the cost of DSL vs. T1 and the effect on call quality. Alas, T1 for net traffic here in the UK is insanely expensive. DSL in its various forms is about the best we get, and SDSL with low contention ratios (1:1, 5:1, etc.) is only available in a few exchanges in major cities. Chris, if your customers are in the western US then please contact me about dedicated circuits. About 4500 miles away. :-) Thanks for the offer anyway though. Any further thoughts would be gratefully appreciated, especially for the site with the Elmegs. Regards, Chris -- C.M. Bagnall, Director, Minotaur I.T.

Re: [asterisk-users] Sending sound to an open channel....
In a dialplan, after i set an autohangup (with AGI) , how could i send a sound (stream a sound ) into an open channel at X seconds before the autohangup time get to 0 for that channel? (Like public phones, that gives u a 'beep!!!' before ur time runs out, just like that...) Check the L option to the Dial application... Try show application dial at the Asterisk CLI. My guess is that this is exactly what you want.

RE: [asterisk-users] Softphone +Realtime
The first step of getting the phones to log in as their same extensions as work is easy and works. By definition, I guess that automatically logs out their office phones? Has anyone tried anything like this? I would like the phones to regrab their spot once the softphone is logged out. Shouldn't the office phones automatically regrab their spot when they re-register with the server? If you set the timeout to something fairly short, it would get around this issue, but introduce another one: the softphones will be kicked whenever the office phones re-register. We have a number of clients doing similar things, but we've taken a slightly different approach. For example, if we have extensions 201,202 and 203, we create SIP accounts as follows: 201 201-home 202 202-home 203 203-home Then, when connecting calls to those extensions in the dialplan, change something like: exten = _2XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}) To: exten = _2XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}SIP/${EXTEN}-home) Hopefully that'll solve the problem. Obviously you'll get lots of errors in the logs along the lines of can't find device SIP/202-home when the softphones aren't connected, but it shouldn't affect operation. Regards, Chris -- C.M.
