[asterisk-users] How to enter bridge_native_loop???
Hi, I am using asterisk-1.4.0. I am inquisitive of what Packet2Packet bridge (bridge_p2p_loop) does and what Native bridge (bridge_native_loop) does. I have configured my dial plans and options such that I can enter bridge_p2p_loop. However, I am unable to enter bridge_native_loop for some reason. I have the following extensions: exten = 7126,1,Dial(SIP/lin_santosh) exten = 7126,s+1,Hangup exten = 7140,1,Dial(SIP/win_test) exten = 7140,s+1,Hangup My sip.conf is as: [lin_santosh] type=friend regexten=7126 callerid=LIN Santosh 7126 host=dynamic nat=yes canreinvite=no allow=all [win_test] type=friend regexten=7140 callerid=WIN Test 7140 host=dynamic nat=yes canreinvite=no allow=all My features.conf has: [featuremap] ;blindxfer = # ; Blind transfer (default is #) ;disconnect = *0 ; Disconnect (default is *) ;automon = *1 ; One Touch Record a.k.a. Touch Monitor ;atxfer = *; Attended transfer ;parkcall = #72; Park call (one step parking) Should this not be enough for bridging to happen via bridge_native_loop? Am I missing something? Thanks in anticipation.

Is there a fix or any workaround? Version is Release 1.4.1 The whole idea with realtime objects in SIP is not to keep them in memory. We release them when we don't need them and reload them when needed.

I'm trying to offload as much RTP traffic as possible, and want to have a way to check quickly (there are well over 50 calls on each of these boxes at any given time). I've been going the ethereal route, which is great for debugging, but not so good for a quick look. During the call, run sip show channel xxxyyzz and check Audio IP. If the audio IP doesn't belong to your Asterisk server, media is handled through the native bridge. /O ___ --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] Which VoIP router and switch to use for medium size business
On Fri, 9 Mar 2007, Zeeshan Zakaria wrote: Hi everybody, What is a proper setup for a medium size business with about 20 IP phones and 20 computers. Right now they are using a regular Linksys router which we use at homes. Their switch is also a very standard switch. Now they need to put there something better and VoIP compatible. What people use out there in serious and professional VoIP installations for medium size businesses? Is there a good 24 port router with VoIP compatibility with no need of an extra switch? Please advice me for all the equipment I'd need for a complete network upgrade. You'd need to supply more details for a detailled answer, (like what's the budget ;-) and why do you think you need something better? What do you currently have, and are they actually having problems at present, or it is just a percieved problem? But if this was me, and it was a green site installation, and money was a bit of a consideration (it usually is IME for small businesses unless they are new, VC funded with millions in the bank and Porsches in the car park ;-), So I'd start with 2 decent enough 24-port Ethernet switches and run at least 2 Ethernet lines to each desk (one for the PC, one for the phone) back to a patch panel (actually, these days, I run 4 to each desk, but a lot depends on the type of company!) You might want to investigate switches with PoE capabilities - in an ideal world this would be good, but it adds to the expense, and watch out for their power carrying ability - some can only power 8 of 16 sockets for example - 20 phones at 6W each is 120W which is quite a bit to add to the PSU capacity of a little 1U Ethernet switch! Some switches can let use use 15W per port, for 8 ports, or 7.5W for 16 ports - the Grandstream phones I use claim to suck no more than 6W - is that lucky or what ;-) I'd steer away from using the in-line connections that many IP phones have - unless you were desperately short of cabling capabiltiy, or money. (but I have used the switch facilities on Grandstream GXP phones in an small office environment where I didn't have much choice and not had any issues with it. (Although if you reboot or unplug the phone, it takes the PC offline!) Make sure the switch in the phone is a switch if you need to use it! In the Grandstream Budgetone 100's it's a 10Mb HUB, not a 10/100 switch!) Then plug all phones and the asterisk box into one switch and all PCs and servers into the other. You can then plug each switch into the router, if it has a switch of it's own, (a lot of the netgear ADSL routers have built-in 4-port switches) or have a small 3rd top-level switch to connect the 2 switches and rotuer together. or you can daisy-chain the switches into the router if it only has one port. So without doing anything special, this will keep VoIP traffic inside one switch and PC/PC/Server traffic inside the other and by the switching nature of the switches, stop traffic from PC to PC/Server interfering with switched VoIP traffic on the other switch. If you can't afford the luxury of separate Ethernet switches, then you might need to look into something a bit more exotic and use Layer 2 QoS/801.p/VLan services, etc. The above isn't perfect, but for your average small office, it's hard to beat for a price. Things can go wrong though - someone plugging a PC into the VoIP switch, then running network traffic intensive apps to other PCs or servers (games, viruses). Broadcast/APR storms but these are rare these days (however if you want to experiment, loopback 2 ethernet ports and stand well back!) Some switches will detect this and suppress excessive ARP broadcast traffic though. Your router choice will depends on what you are trying to achieve - if you are placing calls over the Internet, then you might want a router which has QoS functions - however, the reality is that you can only effectively use QoS when you control every aspect of the link - which with most ISPs you can't. (And you don't say if you have an ADSL, Cable, Leased line, etc. connection - not that it matters that much, however) Most routers will make a good effort though, but over the big bad Internet (and incoming data to your site in particular) you have no control over. Saying that, with a good ISP and reasonable staff, most of the time you get away with it, and I regularly chat with my clients and friends over the 'net even when I know some of them have no QoS at all on their company routers. One site in particular has 100 staff, a 4Mb Internet line and I regularly make calls over their non QoS'd Internet line to other sites without any issues at all. (But it just takes one person running some agressive P2P software to kill it for everyone!) If you are running VPNs to other sites, make sure the router is up to it! After many years of using Drayteks, I now find them a PITA as they can only sustain about 1.5Mb/sec through an encrypted VPN and with

[asterisk-users] disable client side hangup after dialing 911

Normally if someone calls 911 and hangs up after the call has been established then the line is not dropped because it is held by the 911 agent. If you pickup your phone you should still be connected to the 911 agent and be able to talk to him. The call is dropped only when the 911 agent hangs up on his side. Is there a way in asterisk to disable the hangup from the client after he has dialed 911 ? Or maybe asterisk can keep the channel up and call back the user to re-establish the call until the hangup comes from the other side Thanks Patrick ___ --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

Can I load balance the routing if I have five calls each of the IVR * boxes gets two call and the next call would go to the system that currently has the lowest number of calls? Quick answer, yes. How is more interesting :) First, unless your AGI's are massive or incredibly inefficient, 2 PRI's won't swamp your IVR boxes. I have 3 1u servers each with 2 PRI's forwarding all 138 calls to a single application server. All of the PRI's could be handled by 1 1u but management wanted flexibility and redundancy. The application server does IVR, conferencing, records messages, plays canned stories, credit card processing, etc, etc, etc. All implemented with a bunch of AGI's written in C. Each call executes a minimum of 9 AGI's and yes, some AGI consolidation is planned. All database work is handled by a separate box. Anyway, back to your question, how about your head system running an AGI that connects to the manager interface on the IVR boxes to find out how many calls each is currently processing? You could set a channel variable with the least busy host name and use that in your dial statement. If you passed the IVR host name list to the AGI, you could take a box out of service by editing and reloading your dialplan.

Re: [asterisk-users] disable client side hangup after dialing 911
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 If you're using all Zaptel channels for the call, it sounds like you want operator services mode (Dial command flag). O([x]) - Operator Services mode (Zaptel channel to Zaptel channel only, if specified on non-Zaptel interface, it will be ignored). When the destination answers (presumably an operator services station), the originator no longer has control of their line. They may hang up, but the switch will not release their line until the destination party hangs up (the operator). Specified without an arg, or with 1 as an arg, the originator hanging up will cause the phone to ring back immediately. With a 2 specified, when the operator flashes the trunk, it will ring their phone back. Patrick Fortin wrote: Hi Has anyone tried to reproduce the following behavior that a standard phone line does with 911. Normally if someone calls 911 and hangs up after the call has been established then the line is not dropped because it is held by the 911 agent. If you pickup your phone you should still be connected to the 911 agent and be able to talk to him. The call is dropped only when the 911 agent hangs up on his side. Is there a way in asterisk to disable the hangup from the client after he has dialed 911 ?

Re: [asterisk-users] Issues with a Linksys SPA 2102 and asterisk
Any gurus out there with experience with the SPA 2102 against asterisk 1.2.14? They work fine with Asterisk; most likely it's your wireless link that's the cause of your problem. The jitter buffer will only affect received audio, i.e. on your side, and since that is fine, you probably don't need to adjust it. Instead try this: 1) Change packet size in increments of 20 ms (i.e. 0.02, 0.04 or perhaps 0.06). Your wireless link may not like too many small packets. 2) Turn off silence suppression if it's on. 3) Try a different codec -- g726-32 or even ulaw to see if it makes a difference. See if that helps. --Luki ___ --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

My questions then are... why wouldn't it hang up without the timeout, and what if the fax really is that large? We sometimes get faxes over 150 pages.

RE: [asterisk-users] When to use Echo Cancellation cards?
With hw echo cancellation you are pretty much guaranteed to not have any problems. At least with Sangoma cards. I cannot speak for the other manufacturers. I believe most of not all HWEC also does other things to help clean up the sound and maybe even add background noise etc. so the over all sound quality is improved as well. Some installations will work fine just with the included SWEC, some will not. Some will sort of kind of sometimes work ok maybe. No scientific way to determine if you will need it or not. I believe the farther away you are from the phone companies exchange the more likely you will need it. With Sangoma cards, I believe you have the option of ordering without HWEC from your supplier and if you find you need it, you can send the card to Sangoma and they will upgrade it for you or send you a HWEC version and charge you the difference. If you phone Sangoma they will be able to answer that more difinitively. -Original Message- From: Zeeshan Zakaria [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 11:30 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] When to use Echo Cancellation cards?

Re: [asterisk-users] Call load balancing
I've got a system I'm putting together to handle IVR calls with * I have one head system that terminates two PRIs. It routes the calls from the PRIs to * boxes using IAX I'm planning on having four or five * boxes. The * boxes run AGI scripts to process the IVR calls. Can I load balance the routing if I have five calls each of the IVR * boxes gets two call and the next call would go to the system that currently has the lowest number of calls? Another approach: what about load-balance (in terms of redundancy and scalability) the AGI app's and just the AGIs with FastAGI? So your IVR application can be separated from your * boxes and they (the * boxes) dont have to ve overloaded with your AGI apps. Your head system receive the two PRIs and in dial-plan logic you can (maybe using RANDOM() or something more deterministic like a counter) [just an example]: exten s,1,Answer exten s,n,Random(50:next) exten s,n,AGI(agi://asterisk1/${VAR1}|${VAR2}) exten s,n,Hangup exten s,n,AGI(agi://asterisk2/${VAR1}|${VAR2}) exten s,n,Hangup -- Honi soit la vache qui rit. ___ --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] When to use Echo Cancellation cards?
We're not running echo cancelling cards here. We may have 1 or 2 phone calls a month with echo, and it's primarily calls to a certain number. When asked about the echo, I explained the difference in price, and for the price difference, we can deal with the echos. For the most part, for us, either software echo cancelling seems to be working or we don't have any echo to begin with. The only time I have personally ever noticed the echo is at the beginning of a conversation, and after about 10 seconds into it, it's gone. I assume that's software echo cancelling going to work. One more bit of info. When calling the number that gives us problems, the receptionist is fine, when the call is transferred is when echo shows up. That seems to be an issue on their end. But, my point is that you don't always need hardware echo cancelling. Our faxes work inbound and outbound perfectly. Not having hardware echo cancelling, I'm sure, has a lot to do with that. ___ --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

All the admins have to do is commit a change to the configs, and they will be loaded the next time asterisk is reloaded or restarted This is what I do: in extensions.conf: context voicemail { mailbox = { VoiceMailMain(${user_name},s); } #include e-number-vmm.ael } in e-number-vmm.ael: 80 = jump mailbox; So if the user wants to change the number to reach VoicemailMain - provided they use a web interface for that - e-number-vmm.ael can easily be parsed and adjusted accordingly by some script. Just one little mistake I hadn't pointed out earlier; the extensions.conf would probably really be extensions.ael ! Ignoring this, the above is perfectly valid use of #include; just remember that the include would only happen when asterisk loads, reloads, or AEL is reloaded. and, hehe, you can rotate the vmm hourly/daily to keep your users on their toes!

All the extensions in a context are compared when looking for a match to a target location, but I know that goto's etc, can use a variable in a reference, but not in a definition like this. murf smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ --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

The essence of Relatime (modulo the caching that it does) is that the server *doesn't* keep configuration state that can be gotten with the Realtime engine; it looks it up dynamically. In other words, the proper tool for seeing the part that lives in DB tables is the tool that comes with the DB that extracts that information from the database backend. b. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ --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] How to best manage my dial plans as the continue to grow, and grow, and grow....
Hello List - I've been slowing growing my extensions.conf file and have been wondering how everyone manages their systems. I currently have my main extensions.conf where I reference my sub extensions (for tenants or customers) files using the include statements and define my global variables. Today while watching the asterisk console I noticed a call from a voicemail user bounced into another tenants extensions file using the # key. What i'd like to accomplish is true separation for tenants on a multi-tenant system. I'd like to remove the chance of context hopping etc... How does everyone manage their systems as they continue to grow?

Re: [asterisk-users] Which VoIP router and switch to use for medium size business
Gordon, thanks for such a detailed and full of information email. It helped me and must have helped hundreds of others on this mailing list. In my scenario, for this client whom I am working for, their main issue has always been echo. They have about 50 extensions, with 20 in the office, busy office, calls all the time, up to 5 at any given time, 10 remote extensions and other virtual extensions just for voicemail purposes. 5 IVRs and 4 queues, one VoIP line and main trunk a T1 PRI. PRI is used for all incoming and outgoing calls except for long distance calls where VoIP line is used. I am thinking of going with HWEC and also using a good QoS switch. Right now there is only one switch (don't remember the name) and it is handling all the VoIP and data traffic. Sometimes voice breaks, and it must be because of interference from data traffic. But this is not a very serious problem and one switch with QoS should be able to handle it. Am I right here? Even if someone starts using P2P software. Current router is a linksys WRT54GL - Wireless-G Broadband Router. Is it good enough if I get a good switch? Can you suggest which switch I should get. I was looking on the Internet and found switches like Adtran NetVanta which are very expensive. What do they do which makes them so expensive? And in my case, is that the type of switch which I need or is there something cheaper out there too. I am ok without PoE. ___ --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] Zaptel problem after upgrading to 1.2.16
Ah! No, there isn't a chan_zap.so in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules. I installed over a previous version, however I did delete the contents of /usr/lib/asterisk/modules before compiling and installing zaptel, libpri and asterisk. What is the best way to get chan_zap.so in there? Shouldn't that get installed when I do a make install of zaptel? Cheers, Mark.
