Hi

i just want to let you know that is available a new release of ccmanager.

I've added the possibility to import queue_log information in a mysql
database and to generate reports using this information.

The software is in a beta state and provides this functionality:

- users management
- call generation (making a GET or POST request on a certain URL)
- queue management (LOGIN / LOGOUT / QUEUE STATUS)
- pickup a call from a queue even if the user isn't logged in the queue
- outbound call in customizable context
- queue stats import from queue_log
- queue reports creation (using an open xml format)

Please note, i think that the xml definition of a report is very
important, if many people share each other their reports there is the
possibility to build a reports-repository, so the final user can use
many reports and, if the user know what he is doing, he can customize
the reports.

I am looking for people to improve this project, any help would be appreciated.

Hard to expect the business community to take Asterisk seriously when 
this sort of stuff happens IMHO.


I think you hit the nail on the head with one word: community.

Asterisk is free, community supported, and the voip-info site has been 
provided for free - with the support of the community. The site would 
appear to be financially supported by a small number of quite unobtrusive 
google ads, and therein lies the problem...


Hosting isn't free. If you can't/won't pay for hosting, then you have to 
support it by advertising. I can sell you web space/servers/co-lo 
facilities with full disk/server/location redundancy, backups and so on, 
but would you be willing to pay for it? Probably not. So you takes your 
chances with a popular hosting company, put in a small number of google 
ads to pay for a basic hosting package and go with it. After-all, there 
are millions of websites hosted on millions of servers throughout the 
world - it's a highly competitive business - there are offers of hosting 
for £1 a month or even less, but do you think it's a sustainable model? I 
don't. Well, maybe it is when you have 1000s of clients with 10s of 1000s 
of websites (spread over 100s of servers!) but with scale comes more 
issues.



 I can't understand how 3 of 4 hard drives could
just suddenly fail simultaneously.  There must be more too it.  No UPS?
Someone spilled their coffee into it?  Something!


That does strike me as odd, but I've seen it myself with a bad batch of 
disks. (IBM DeathStar, Hitachi, etc.) You usually get warnings, but if 
you're employing monkeys  paying them peanuts, then they usually just 
treat them as fire  forget once installed in the rack and plumbed into 
their automated selling/billing system.



Either way, it's amateur hour!


It's the way 99% of all co-lo facilities work. Buy big, sell cheap with 
little or no SLA - hope that the hardware/premises/internet is reliable 
enough, employ monkeys, pay peanuts. If you want quality, then be prepared 
to pay for it, and £1 a month does not give you quality IMO, and in my 
experience as someone who runs a small co-lo facility, people will not pay 
for quality hosting. A quality server costs me £650, more if the client 
insists on a Dull. Sure, I can put together something with pair of disks 
for under £300, but I know (from experience!) it won't last the 4+ years I 
want it to last, nor deliver the preformance my clients (who are willing 
to pay for such a service) demand.


I'm not blaming James here because that's the way it is! I bet he's spent 
100s of hours (unpaid) setting it up, running it and maintaining it, and 
resorted to google ads. purely to fund it. I don't envy him at all.



If I can't be confident enough in an important source of information like
this then I can't be confident enough to provide an Asterisk solution to
businesses.  That's the way I see it.  Yea, it's a wiki but it's the best
source of info out there.


So how much are you willing to pay to support such a service?

It all comes back to perceived security. As you rightly say the disks in
a RAID will have a good chance of failing at the same time because not
only being out of the same batch but probably constructed one after the
other. This normally will not be a problem for the manufacturer because
they would be installed in different machines with different usage
rates. If you really want to avoid this the discs would have to be
selected out of different batches. It should never be forgotten that
originally RAID stood for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks, I never
could understand how a RAID could be made up using SCSI disks seeing
that they are certainly not inexpensive.  

The other common misconception is tape backups there is an old story in
computing that the main problem with tapes was that the bits fell off,
how many people actually test the restore capability before they
actually need it?

You can use the hangupcause variable which us the pri cause code
supplied when a call is ended over a PRI line. For example this is the
maco we use to dial a number over PRI.

PRI channels have call supervision and Asterisk will see the 
hangup/answers just fine.  The busydetect, callprogress, busycount 
should be removed from your setup.

 Well, it's always bothered me that the most authoritative and current
 source of configuration information is an iffy wiki operated by someone
 not connected with Digium at all.

 The documentation needs to be better, or we need a better wiki :)

 The trouble is that Asterisk changes so rapidly that any static document
 is going to be obsolete before it's finished, so the wiki model makes
 good sense; but it has to be structured better, at least a little bit
 the way Wikipedia is operated.

RE: [asterisk-users] DECT to SIP gateway experiences

2007-03-15 Thread Robert Jenkins
Hi,

I have a Siemens Gigaset DECT base connected to a Sipura SPA3000.

The Message Waiting indicator on the handset works fine in this
configuration.
(I've used both the S100 and SL100 phones / bases, the operation is
identical.)
The illuminating Message button on the handset can also be configured to
dial *97 so it's a single press if you have voicemail waiting.

One 'gotcha' with the SPA3000 (and probably other similar devices) is that
by default it internally recognises *nn codes and these all need clearing to
allow Asterisk to handle everything.
You also may need the latest V3 firmware (even on V2 hardware) especially if
you want to use the FXO port as an asterisk trunk.

I assume the other Sipura / Linksys devices will have similar features. I've
got a SPA2100 dual FXS unit, but I've not got that in use at the moment. I
think MWI worked on that but I can't be 100% sure.

For the last week I've also been using a Nokia E65 as a WiFi/SIP handset. 
I'm still experimenting with the overall system setup, but so far this seems
to work fine - one handset for both fixed line  mobile calls.

Robert.

 Subject: [asterisk-users] DECT to SIP gateway experiences
 
 G'day.  I hope this isn't off-topic for the list.
 
 I am looking at an Asterisk setup that includes cordless 
 phones.  The three choices I can see, at this stage, are:
 
  * wifi phones
  * an ATA and a cordless analog phone
  * a DECT to SIP basestation
 
 The various wifi phone options don't grab us as suitable -- 
 they are costly, have poor battery life and even the best 
 have pretty mixed reviews.  They just don't, at least in 
 Australia, compare well to the non-wifi options.
 
 I know a lot of people have success with an ATA and a 
 standard analog cordless phone.  We figure that is the fallback, but:
 
 It seems to me that a direct SIP to DECT gateway could have 
 significant advantages in terms of supporting the MWI 
 (voicemail) indicator on the DECT phone directly -- there 
 just isn't any way I could trigger it on any of the analog 
 sets I have at the moment.
 
 Unfortunately I can't local any information on this; the 
 documentation for the Zyxel DECT gateways and Siemens Gigaset 
 DECT bases don't say
 *anything* about their supporting MWI hardware from a SIP server.
 
 
 The other killer feature that a DECT base could theoretically 
 offer is some sort of soft menu system -- ADSI, XML, or whatever.
 
 That would make for extremely nice integration with the 
 CallerID database in Asterisk, voicemail, etc.
 
 
 So, can anyone comment on support for MWI in the SIP DECT gateways?
 How about soft menu support?

 Daniel

The MWI depends on the vendor who implements this feature. IIRC, MWI is
not part of the DECT specifiations so you won't find any generic
information regarding this topic.

 The other killer feature that a DECT base could theoretically offer is
 some sort of soft menu system -- ADSI, XML, or whatever.

Theoretically! The soft menus that you see on DECT handsets are
proprietary so they don't work with 3rd party DECT base stations.

 So, can anyone comment on support for MWI in the SIP DECT gateways?
 How about soft menu support?

MWI works on the KIRK Wireless gateways we are using. There is support
for soft menus which come from the DECT base but they cannot be sent by
the SIP server. MWI only works on KIRK handsets; our attempts with
Siemens and Philips handsets were unsuccessful.

There are also hardware raid controller failures to deal with. To make
it worse, allowing the wrong person to replace failed drives and
controllers can be disastrous. As for backup, they reported that it will
be back up and running. That would be hard to do without backup when 3
of 4 drives failed.

Suppose you are running raid5 on 3 drives with a 4th as ready spare?
Suppose that overheating is a factor? One of the drives fails and the
system begins building the spare in the background. Then the spare
fails. Then 1 of the 2 remaining drives fails.

Some of us can spec out a fancy new server that comes with a 24/7
fast-response service contract. Then the complainers can donate the
money to buy it and put it in a good data center.

The odds of multiple drive failure are a lot higher than you think. 
Failing power supplies or power spikes are common to all drives and 
controller failure on a drive can throw noise back onto the SCSI bus 
causing corruption on other drives. Although the other affected drives 
are not physically damaged, your data has evaporated none the less.


We have already had one multi-drive RAID failure on our main file server 
(only one drive was physically failed) and a single drive and power 
supply failure on our Asterisk box. RAID 1 and redundant power supplies 
saved the day.

 Someone spilled their coffee into it?  Something!

Sure, there always is.  For example, from our own little cache of stories:

Bad component in the power supply blows, momentarily spiking voltages
throughout the server.

Colo cooling failed and temps rose ten degrees, baking the drives a bit.

Someone let slip with a cart and banged into the rack.

Drives were spinning continuously for several years, and then power went
out.  Two of four don't spin back up.

Anyone who's been in the industry for any length of time will have
stories.  Some of them even interesting.  I remember a few years ago
when the roof/wall of an ATT data center was destroyed during a storm.

 Either way, it's amateur hour!

 If I can't be confident enough in an important source of information like
 this then I can't be confident enough to provide an Asterisk solution to
 businesses.  That's the way I see it.  Yea, it's a wiki but it's the best
 source of info out there.

If you're not smart enough to have a local snapshot of anything that is
critical to what you're providing to customers, then, well, you're right,
it *is* amateur hour.

As for voip-info.org, I cannot comprehend why you would attack a very nice
public service in this manner.  Perhaps I am mistaken, but I thought that
it was a general VOIP resource, not specific to Asterisk.  While I have
found it a very convenient interface to Asterisk information, you seem to
be suggesting that it is the only source of information.  It is not.

We ought to all be thanking the fine folks at voip-info.org for their
fantastic store of information.  Hopefully, if there is any need for
assistance to cover additional backup hosting, cash to cover the expense 
of new drives, or whatever they happen to need, they'll post here and
let us all know.  We're happy to make a no-strings-attached contribution
of some sort, because the resource has been quite useful over the years.

[asterisk-users] Re: Which SIP method/option to display a short text message ?

2007-03-15 Thread Olivier

Hi,

After further research, it seems SIP MESSAGE rfc3428) and SIP INFO (rfc2976)
methods could be the more relevant for this feature.

I'm still wondering whether SIP hardphones or Asterisk implement these
methods in such a way you could make a welcome message, for example, appear
on you contact phone screen.

If you can't understand it, do some research before mouthing off (as 
everyone on this list is encouraged to do). Multi-drive failures are 
common, one drive or power supply fails and corrupts or damages other 
drives on the bus.

Yep.

Ashburn VA datacenter. Tornado hit it. Water was pouring in on someone's
servers, and surprisingly they didn't go down! ATT did bring them down
due to safety concerns.

Our servers, in that datacenter, were unaffected and had zero downtime.
Most of the damage was to unoccupied portions of the datacenter.

I've also had multiple drives fail simultaineously on a 0+1 Raid. It
totally sucks when it happens. One online spare was not enough and
didn't have time to rebuild before the second and third drives failed.
We did have backups and were able to restore everything within 4 hours,
but we still lost some data between the last backup the night before and
when the drives failed. These were not cheapo IDE drives either, they
were server grade scsi (HP branded Seagates.)

Giorgio--

That's a pretty generic question! But that aside, there's been a
substantive change in the configs for SIP phones, that could easily
affect your device state monitoring.

So, suggestion: read the example sip config file in the src/configs dir,
pay close attention to stuff like call-limit, the limitonpeers stuff,
etc, and then make sure you update all your phone entries in sip.conf.
Restart asterisk, or reload sip, and hopefully your lights will work.

In general, EVERYONE, here's some advise: When you 
upgrade from version 1.x to 1.(x+2), always review ALL
your config files against the new config file examples.
Things change! Hopefully, for the better!

Here's an undeniable fact -- look how much list traffic this outage has

Re: [asterisk-users] FW: Seamless Multi Office Asterisk Deployment

2007-03-15 Thread Bruce Reeves

Brandon,

What it sounds like you are looking at as far as having the phones
register to the system and then have users login to a phone should be
possible, I have not tried. I would suspect that you could build a
dial plan menu to prompt the caller for their credentials and then
take the phone's identification and add an entry to a database for
that phone and the caller id, extension, voice mail box etc.. You
could then use the realtime engine to query the table for the
information when an extension is dialed. Doing the login through a
sort of IVR would make it hardware independent.

One note on the QOS, You might be right about it being okay with only
3 calls at a time, but I would offer this example. We us a MPLS
network, in which most site have 384k and our main sites have 1.5mb.
When I first placed a test call over the link using gsm from a 384
site to the main site, they had no issues, but I had terrible problems
with audio being dropped or delayed and playing over top itself. I
implemented QOS because the connection is not only for voice, so I
could at least give priority to my audio and set aside bandwidth for
it.

On your time frame, it is hard to say, your users and existing
hardware and training all factor into it. Having done asterisk systems
before, I have deployed small sites, like 2-5 people in very short
time frames, typically a few days building the system off site and
testing then a week or less on site dealing with wiring, setup/testing
and training. On a site of your size I would almost consider spending
a couple weeks on site.

You mentioned trixbox, I started with [EMAIL PROTECTED] myself and must say it 
was a
great thrill to place a call between two softphones after a hour or
so. But what I eventually realized was that if I had to troubleshoot
the dialplan I was going to be lost in macros and AGI. I started out
writing my configs and then using svn repositories for each site and
copying in a base config for each new site. Worked great for a while
and I knew the dialplan inside out. I'm now moving more and more to
realtime and database storage for config files and dialplan sections
which make managing multiple sites config files much easier. Also the
use of Dundi in [EMAIL PROTECTED] was not through the GUI, and I understood it 
much
better once I began using the files. The bottom line: in my experience
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Trixbox/freepbx are great ways to get your feet wet and are a
proof of concept and even great for a basic system, but for what you
are wanting to do and what I did. Asterisk is the only way to go. If
your worried about not knowing enough, goto a bootcamp or some other
training. If you want ease administration for several IT people, then
you could look at some of the web interfaces that connect and edit the
conf files.

Hope that helps

In-reply to Steve:
I did have a look at the bicomsystems product and it does appear to do
everything I am looking for. However, I have looked in to vendor systems
and have decided to go with an Asterisk system. Hench asking for
assistance on the Asterisk mailing list ;)

On the discussion at hand:
At this time I am not going to worry about the QoS with my T1 network
lines, I have been wondering what the quality will be like. I do not
plan to have more than maybe three calls on a line at peak times. But I
know that there will be more in the future. I am working with a total
employee base of around 30, and the remote offices have two to four
employees at a time, not a huge traffic demand.

What I am most curious about at this time is the methods used to move
from server to server. *Ideally* I would like to sit down at a phone,
enter my extension/password and have that phone ring as my extension.
Essentially, I would like a log in system on the phone. This presents me
with two issues: I have to make my phones allow simple logon as a SIP
device, and I need to get my credentials to move between Asterisk
servers. What methods have others used, or where should I look for more
information?

At this point I have two Polycom phones (430 and 501) for testing, they
seem to be talked about as very flexible. If they will not allow me to
add a user friendly login prompt, maybe I need to find alternatives
though. But this is the Asterisk list and I don't want to go too far off
topic, so the main concern is how I would synchronize my information
between asterisk servers.

One final topic on this message I would like to cover is time frame. I
am thinking maybe around 6 months to have at least a partial functioning
system up and tested. By partial I mean deployable with a basic
infrastructure feature set. I don't know if this is too little time or
too much time. My co-workers are excited about what Asterisk has to
offer. Any other thoughts on

I was expecting a response like this.

First of all.  I do NOT rely on any one source of information seeing as how
so much of it is outdate and/or just plain wrong. I always try get at least
2 or 3 sources of info. 

Hey, don't blame the messenger.  EVERYTHING comes with a manual right?  Why
do you suppose that is?  Has nothing to do with how much someone knows or
doesn't know about the product.  In the case of Asterisk, yes it is changing
rapidly and hardcopies quickly get outdated so a wiki kind of makes sense.

As far as trying to be part of the solution instead of the problem.  I have
contributed a LOT of info to that wiki.  I feel I have earned the right to
critisize it's availability or lack thereof.  If you want mirrors there
appears to be no shortage of people willing to provide this if you would
ONLY ask!

I think you hit the nail on the head with one word: community.

Asterisk is free, community supported, and the voip-info site has been
provided for free - with the support of the community. The site would appear
to be financially supported by a small number of quite unobtrusive google
ads, and therein lies the problem...

Hosting isn't free. If you can't/won't pay for hosting, then you have to
support it by advertising. I can sell you web space/servers/co-lo facilities
with full disk/server/location redundancy, backups and so on, but would you
be willing to pay for it? Probably not. So you takes your chances with a
popular hosting company, put in a small number of google ads to pay for a
basic hosting package and go with it. After-all, there are millions of
websites hosted on millions of servers throughout the world - it's a highly
competitive business - there are offers of hosting for £1 a month or even
less, but do you think it's a sustainable model? I don't. Well, maybe it is
when you have 1000s of clients with 10s of 1000s of websites (spread over
100s of servers!) but with scale comes more issues.

  I can't understand how 3 of 4 hard drives could just suddenly fail 
 simultaneously.  There must be more too it.  No UPS?
 Someone spilled their coffee into it?  Something!

That does strike me as odd, but I've seen it myself with a bad batch of
disks. (IBM DeathStar, Hitachi, etc.) You usually get warnings, but if
you're employing monkeys  paying them peanuts, then they usually just treat
them as fire  forget once installed in the rack and plumbed into their
automated selling/billing system.

 Either way, it's amateur hour!

It's the way 99% of all co-lo facilities work. Buy big, sell cheap with
little or no SLA - hope that the hardware/premises/internet is reliable
enough, employ monkeys, pay peanuts. If you want quality, then be prepared
to pay for it, and £1 a month does not give you quality IMO, and in my
experience as someone who runs a small co-lo facility, people will not pay
for quality hosting. A quality server costs me £650, more if the client
insists on a Dull. Sure, I can put together something with pair of disks for
under £300, but I know (from experience!) it won't last the 4+ years I want
it to last, nor deliver the preformance my clients (who are willing to pay
for such a service) demand.

I'm not blaming James here because that's the way it is! I bet he's spent
100s of hours (unpaid) setting it up, running it and maintaining it, and
resorted to google ads. purely to fund it. I don't envy him at all.

 If I can't be confident enough in an important source of information 
 like this then I can't be confident enough to provide an Asterisk 
 solution to businesses.  That's the way I see it.  Yea, it's a wiki

Do a sip debug and see if the Sipura is getting the INVITE message

If you can't understand it, do some research before mouthing off (as

one drive or power supply fails and corrupts or damages other drives on the

Guys don't you think this thread has gone on long enough.  We all 
support this community!!!  My suggestion would be the same as many 
others have stated, another place for additional information is great.  
I would not want to totally write off the guys at voip-info.


I would suggest that we create a new wiki, make it solely for Asterisk 
topics, as not to offend or replace voip-info.  Build mirrors to 
multiple sites and multiple domain names.  This would give this 
community a second resource with redundancy which is what I think ALL of 
us are looking for.  I have taken the pleasure, of registering the 
domain name ASTERISKONLINE.ORG.  

I will donate a dedicated server with bandwidth to the cause.  I am 
looking for additional people to help populate the wiki with useful 
information and to help maintain the site.  I would suggest that ee have 
maybe 4 or 5 mirrors to start off and a core group of admins to help 
maintain the site.


I am willing to work with anyone else that is about providing a solution 
to our current issue.  If you guys want to REALLY work toward a 
solution, here's the chance.  For the individuals that are interested in

2007-03-15 Thread Jon Pounder

I completely agree with the cheap hosting commments - my company competes
against it all the time. Things go bad with the host in one way or another,
sites move, and the cycle repeats. Is that how someone reputable wants
to run a
business moving their site around every couple months when things break
? Or do
people want a company that is reliable and actually strives to deliver
a decent
SLA ?

As for the hosting of voip-info, I don't see anything wrong with the model of
providing something useful for free but sprinkling a few ads through it
to help
pay for the costs. Yes its annoying when something you rely on is not
available,
but what right has anyone got to complain that is not paying to have it
available ?

Maybe a better situation would be to partner with at least one more person or
group that has hosting capacity, and split revenue in some manner to
offset the
costs, and have it hosted at at least 2 locations to guard against
disaster, but
with a wiki its not all that simple since its updating all the time, and
straight mirrors won't work. Something to look into, but it would take even
more volunteer hours to setup.


A service my company offers (I am not trying to plug myself, but simply
offering
an alternative to the way it is now) is called livebackup. Hosting is all
setup for a mirror of the complete setup which is copied over at some
interval.
Should problems arise with the primary site that can't be fixed
quickly, dns is
simply changed to point to the backup site and it operates as if it was the
primary. This is meant to cover these sorts of situations where a disaster is
not quickly recoverable, but running two sites in parallel has other issues
which make it too complicated for anything without a super high budget.

I think you hit the nail on the head with one word: community.

Asterisk is free, community supported, and the voip-info site has been
provided for free - with the support of the community. The site would appear
to be financially supported by a small number of quite unobtrusive google
ads, and therein lies the problem...

Hosting isn't free. If you can't/won't pay for hosting, then you have to
support it by advertising. I can sell you web space/servers/co-lo facilities
with full disk/server/location redundancy, backups and so on, but would you
be willing to pay for it? Probably not. So you takes your chances with a
popular hosting company, put in a small number of google ads to pay for a
basic hosting package and go with it. After-all, there are millions of
websites hosted on millions of servers throughout the world - it's a highly
competitive business - there are offers of hosting for £1 a month or even
less, but do you think it's a sustainable model? I don't. Well, maybe it is
when you have 1000s of clients with 10s of 1000s of websites (spread over
100s of servers!) but with scale comes more issues.


 I can't understand how 3 of 4 hard drives could just suddenly fail
simultaneously.  There must be more too it.  No UPS?
Someone spilled their coffee into it?  Something!


That does strike me as odd, but I've seen it myself with a bad batch of
disks. (IBM DeathStar, Hitachi, etc.) You usually get warnings, but if
you're employing monkeys  paying them peanuts, then they usually just treat
them as fire  forget once installed in the rack and plumbed into their
automated selling/billing system.


Either way, it's amateur hour!


It's the way 99% of all co-lo facilities work. Buy big, sell cheap with
little or no SLA - hope that the hardware/premises/internet is reliable
enough, employ monkeys, pay peanuts. If you want quality, then be prepared
to pay for it, and £1 a month does not give you quality IMO, and in my
experience as someone who runs a small co-lo facility, people will not pay
for quality hosting. A quality server costs me £650, more if the client
insists on a Dull. Sure, I can put together something with pair of disks for
under £300, but I know (from experience!) it won't last the 4+ years I want
it to last, nor deliver the preformance my clients (who are willing to pay
for such a service) demand.

I'm not blaming James here because that's the way it is! I bet he's spent
100s of hours (unpaid) setting it up, running it and maintaining it, and
resorted to google ads. purely to fund it. I don't envy him at all.

Hi,

After further research, it seems SIP MESSAGE rfc3428) and SIP INFO 
(rfc2976)

methods could be the more relevant for this feature.

I'm still wondering whether SIP hardphones or Asterisk implement these
methods in such a way you could make a welcome message, for example, appear 
on you contact phone screen.

There was a thread indicating that you can do that with SendText() with

[asterisk-users] Replacement Wiki - options (Formerly 'status of voip-info')

2007-03-15 Thread Michael Collins
 I would suggest that we create a new wiki, make it solely for Asterisk
 topics, as not to offend or replace voip-info.  Build mirrors to
 multiple sites and multiple domain names.  This would give this
 community a second resource with redundancy which is what I think ALL
of
 us are looking for.  I have taken the pleasure, of registering the
 domain name ASTERISKONLINE.ORG.

I would like to know what the community feels about an Asterisk-only
wiki.  I can see pros and cons of Asterisk-only vs.
Asterisk/FreeSwitch/Yate/OpenPBX/etc.  My gut says keep it open for
everything OSS/VoIP.  (I have no logical reason for feeling that way -
it's just a gut feeling.) 

 
 I will donate a dedicated server with bandwidth to the cause.  I am
 looking for additional people to help populate the wiki with useful
 information and to help maintain the site.  I would suggest that ee
have
 maybe 4 or 5 mirrors to start off and a core group of admins to help
 maintain the site.
 
Thanks for putting your money where your mouth is!  This is the kind of
action the community needs.

 I am willing to work with anyone else that is about providing a
solution
 to our current issue.  If you guys want to REALLY work toward a
 solution, here's the chance.  For the individuals that are interested
in
 helping e-mail me.

I hope you get some respondents.  In the meantime it might be good to
check out the fledgling wiki here:
http://www.voip-wiki.us

It uses MediaWiki which has a nice, clean interface and seems pretty
easy to use.

Re: [asterisk-users] Freepbx Incoming call's configuration

2007-03-15 Thread Alex Robar

Hi Younss,

You just need to setup Inbound Routes in FreePBX. The inbound routes allow
you to route calls based upon caller ID or DID. Since you want to route
based upon the number your caller dialed, you want to route based on DID.
For your example:

1. Create a new inbound route.
2. In the DID field, enter the number you wish to route (555-4570). Keep in
mind that this must match what your provider sends. Some providers send
+1554570, some sent just 4570, and some send something in between. Check
with your provider for their format.
3. At the bottom, select where you'd like that number to be routed to (I
believe you need to select Core: Extension 202).

Save the route, apply the settings (via clicking on the red bar), and that's
it!

Alex

 Hi
 
 i just want to let you know that is available a new release of
ccmanager.
 
 I've added the possibility to import queue_log information in a mysql
 database and to generate reports using this information.
 
 The software is in a beta state and provides this functionality:
 
 - users management
 - call generation (making a GET or POST request on a certain URL)
 - queue management (LOGIN / LOGOUT / QUEUE STATUS)
 - pickup a call from a queue even if the user isn't logged in the
queue
 - outbound call in customizable context
 - queue stats import from queue_log
 - queue reports creation (using an open xml format)
 
 Please note, i think that the xml definition of a report is very
 important, if many people share each other their reports there is the
 possibility to build a reports-repository, so the final user can use
 many reports and, if the user know what he is doing, he can customize
 the reports.
 
 I am looking for people to improve this project, any help would be
 appreciated.

 - tester
 - graphics (div  css)

 Thanks, nik

Nik,

This looks REALLY COOL!  

Just an FYI in case you didn't know, there is also a callcenter asterisk
mailing list that you could post this to.  I am not sure how many users
are subscribed but it is most certainly more of your target audience.

At any rate, I can't wait to get this setup and take it for a test
drive.  I will provide and feedback and help that I can.

Is your plan to make this a commercial product sometime down the road?

You'll have to check the horse-wiki and pray it never goes down.

Alternatively, you could get a Cisco horse.  While it may cost more, at 
least you'll have a number you can call for tech support should your 
horse throw a shoe.


The downside being, of course, if you want to modify your horse (e.g. - 
adding a rear spoiler, tinting its blinders, or adding a saddle with a 
piece of spinny plastic that makes it look like you're actually walking 
*backwards*) you'll have to use proprietary parts only purchasable from 
stables.cisco.com.  :(

experiences including what versions of * you were using, what
kind of connectivity was present (T1, Fractional T, Intergrated T,

Canceller).

Also, which phones most found favorable with Asterisk on a full

I actually learned most of what I needed initially out of 2 O'Reilly

I didn't find out about the WiKi until much later. It's been good though

Nik,

This looks REALLY COOL!

thanks



Just an FYI in case you didn't know, there is also a callcenter asterisk
mailing list that you could post this to.  I am not sure how many users
are subscribed but it is most certainly more of your target audience.

thanks, i'll subscribe on it.



At any rate, I can't wait to get this setup and take it for a test
drive.  I will provide and feedback and help that I can.

ok, thanks if you want i've started a mailing list for this project
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ccmanager-users



Is your plan to make this a commercial product sometime down the road?

I've not taken any decision but i think that the project will be
released under GPL, and maybe i can provide commercial support on
installation / customization / maintainace

RE: [asterisk-users] Dropped calls in Asterisk - A general question

2007-03-15 Thread Connolly, Tim
I've got 415 phones, mostly Cisco 7960's. The only time I see
dropped calls is when either end hangs up, or I restart asterisk. Using
all T1 PRI. 

HW mainly: Dell 1750 w/2GB, Digium TE410 or TE412P's. Raid1 w/PERC.
I use Dell 1950's for the VM servers, but anything with a Digium card is
a Dell 1750.

Hey all, I have a question for those administrating/building out systems
with over 30 users on them. How often do you experience the dropped call
phenomena. Would you care to share your experiences including what
versions of * you were using, what kind of connectivity was present (T1,
Fractional T, Intergrated T, DSL, Cable). Echo? Solutions? (e.g. we
bought an X_Brand Echo Canceller).

Also, which phones most found favorable with Asterisk on a full
functional level. Not Polycoms because they're so neat! Or:
Cisco rocks!. Something more to the tune of X_Brand phones worked
well with Asterisk 1.2.xx for 70 users on a Data T. We had an X_Brand

[asterisk-users] A200 card problem

2007-03-15 Thread Todd H

Hi -
I just got an A200 card with 1 FXO and 1 FXS module.  Sadly, I can't  
make it work- currently, asterisk will not startup because of a bad  
module.  Below are some log files/config files.  If anyone has any  
suggestions, I'd appreciate it.


I used Trixbox 2.0 and followed instructions on (http:// 
sangoma.editme.com/wanpipe-linux-asterisk-atHome) - no problems  
running through or compiling. I also downloaded trixbox 2.0 with  
sangoma drivers included directly from sangoma (http:// 
wiki.sangoma.com/Trixbox-1xx).  I know how this list feels about  
trixbox, but still, the card/configs are the same, no?  Any advice is  
appreciated.

thanks
  Todd

Michael Collins wrote:

I would suggest that we create a new wiki, make it solely for Asterisk
topics, as not to offend or replace voip-info.  Build mirrors to
multiple sites and multiple domain names.  This would give this
community a second resource with redundancy which is what I think ALL


of
  

us are looking for.  I have taken the pleasure, of registering the
domain name ASTERISKONLINE.ORG.



I would like to know what the community feels about an Asterisk-only
wiki.  I can see pros and cons of Asterisk-only vs.
Asterisk/FreeSwitch/Yate/OpenPBX/etc.  My gut says keep it open for
everything OSS/VoIP.  (I have no logical reason for feeling that way -
it's just a gut feeling.) 

 
  

I will donate a dedicated server with bandwidth to the cause.  I am
looking for additional people to help populate the wiki with useful
information and to help maintain the site.  I would suggest that ee


have
  

maybe 4 or 5 mirrors to start off and a core group of admins to help
maintain the site.

 
Thanks for putting your money where your mouth is!  This is the kind of

action the community needs.

  

I am willing to work with anyone else that is about providing a


solution
  

to our current issue.  If you guys want to REALLY work toward a
solution, here's the chance.  For the individuals that are interested


in
  

helping e-mail me.



I hope you get some respondents.  In the meantime it might be good to
check out the fledgling wiki here:
http://www.voip-wiki.us

It uses MediaWiki which has a nice, clean interface and seems pretty
easy to use.

-MC



  
I'm okay with OSS/VoIP.  Just need confirmation that we all want to do 
this.  I don't want to allocate a server to the cause and it just sit 
idle.  I'm willing to work with the guys with www.voip-wiki.us.

[asterisk-users] sip_nat.conf - Asterisk with two Ethernet Interfaces

2007-03-15 Thread Anjul Srivastava
Will this do the intended thing?

This is in sip_nat.conf which is included in sip.conf:


externip=192.168.0.200
localnet=192.168.0.200/255.255.255.0
externip=64.168.237.110
localnet=192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0

I have Asterisk running on a box with two Ethernet interfaces and bound to
both.  One interface, 192.168.1.2 services clients outside the firewall
who are led to believe that Asterisk is running at 64.168.237.110.  The
other interface, 192.168.0.200 services clients inside the firewall who
are led to believe that Asterisk is running at 192.168.0.200.

I am worried that Asterisk might not do what I am intending to do.   What
I want is for Asterisk to send SIP/SDP Connection Info as 64.168.237.110
to those clients that contact it on 192.168.1.2, and to send SIP/SDP
Connection Info as 64.168.237.110 to those that contact it on
192.168.0.200.

I am worried that it might use the last externip=... declaration for both
interfaces and ignore the other one.

Could somebody help me with determining the treatment of the multiple
externip=... declarations?  Or point me to how I could verify?

I don't want to wait until the evening to find out from outside the
firewall that this doesn't work.  (It is working fine from within the
firewall where I contact asterisk at 192.168.0.200)

Thank you!

Best regards,
Anjul.

Thanks for the info Trevor. Was your proof of concept also with Windows
PCs or *nix PCs? I haven't played with realtime yet so I might be in for
a bit of a learning curve.
  


This was just on Linux user stations with a simple bash script that send 
a request to a web server.  The web server did the rest based on the 
PC's IP address and user's username.

Re: [asterisk-users] Incoming Caller ID

Does anyone know if I can get Incoming caller id name and number on a

The bigger question is if your telco is sending it to you.  asterisk 
generally takes care of everything automatically, provided it's 
available and you've configured your PRI properly.  Number comes 
instantaneously with your call, while name shows up a brief moment later.

Thanks for the responses.

iptables on the * box has no rules and all tables default to 'accept.'

I have not got to the point of placing calls out across the internet
yet. The issue here is no audio back from the * box when running
through the demo routine.

I'll try to set it up to make a call outside tomorrow.


Ok. I have not been able to setup the box to call outside, however,
watching the packet traffic I see plenty of data flowing from the
xlite client to the * server, but never any packets from the server to
the client. (That is, during the course of the call.) The server and
client talk just fine when establishing the connection, just no audio
data from the server to the client.

Any thoughts?


From everything I've read, the initial setup should be much easier

than mine has gone so far... :(

Setup the demo IVR on your Atrisk box and call that from your xlite softphone.

The entire call will be on your local network so you'll be able to see
if the problem is local or not.

Re: [asterisk-users] Re: Replacement Wiki - options (Formerly 'status of voip-info')

2007-03-15 Thread Ira Burton

I would take an alternative stance and say that an Asterisk only solution is
needed.
This is a wildly growing product with nearly limitless possibilities.
Trying to cram too much on a site just causes confusion.

KISS (no I am not calling anybody in particular stupid.)

 I would suggest that we create a new wiki, make it solely for Asterisk

 of

 us are looking for.  I have taken the pleasure, of registering the
 domain name ASTERISKONLINE.ORG.


 I would like to know what the community feels about an Asterisk-only
 wiki.  I can see pros and cons of Asterisk-only vs.
 Asterisk/FreeSwitch/Yate/OpenPBX/etc.  My gut says keep it open for
 everything OSS/VoIP.  (I have no logical reason for feeling that way -
 it's just a gut feeling.)



 I will donate a dedicated server with bandwidth to the cause.  I am
 looking for additional people to help populate the wiki with useful
 information and to help maintain the site.  I would suggest that ee

 have

 maybe 4 or 5 mirrors to start off and a core group of admins to help
 maintain the site.


 Thanks for putting your money where your mouth is!  This is the kind of
 action the community needs.


 I am willing to work with anyone else that is about providing a

 solution

 to our current issue.  If you guys want to REALLY work toward a
 solution, here's the chance.  For the individuals that are interested

 in

 helping e-mail me.


 I hope you get some respondents.  In the meantime it might be good to
 check out the fledgling wiki here:
 http://www.voip-wiki.us

 It uses MediaWiki which has a nice, clean interface and seems pretty
 easy to use.

 -MC




I'm okay with OSS/VoIP.  Just need confirmation that we all want to do
this.  I don't want to allocate a server to the cause and it just sit
idle.  I'm willing to work with the guys with www.voip-wiki.us.

Ok so I read the Linux 2.6 related README and finally
compiled propperly, I thought but at the end I notice
that lscpi does report the cards, but I cant modprobe
wcfxo nor zaptel and I do have wcfxo.ko in the

Re: [asterisk-users] Polycom call parking feature and Asterisk call parking

You might have a better way to do this because this is a little cumbersome.


The auto answer part of this is just too cool!  You don't have to put
the phone on the hook and parking, you don't have to worry about
answering or fumbling around and hanging up on the callback, or
anything.  If you have the handset in your hands, it calls back, plays
the number in your ear and it's done.  If you're on speakerphone, it
calls back and plays the number and it's done.  Almost as good as
parking using chan_sccp with the Cisco (it also displays the parking
spot on the park... hmmm...  that could possibly be done...).

On my phones, when I press park, I have to press a number (any number
works) and then press park again.  Is this the case for everyone else,
or am I missing something?  Not a big deal, just seems odd.

[asterisk-users] Re: sip_nat.conf - Asterisk with two Ethernet Interfaces

2007-03-15 Thread Anjul Srivastava
I figured it out by examining the log files.  The following works but not
as hypothesized above.

1. the second externip overrides the first, so externip can only be
specified once

2. the first localnet and the second localnet are BOTH understood and used.

3. asterisk tests the destination IP against BOTH localnet specifications,
and if the destination IP does NOT match, THEN it substitutes its SOURCE
IP with externip.

4. if the source IP is not substituted then the correct local source IP is
used depending upon which interface the request came from.

so, all's good, at least for my scenario.

quote who=Anjul Srivastava
 Will this do the intended thing?

 This is in sip_nat.conf which is included in sip.conf:


 externip=192.168.0.200
 localnet=192.168.0.200/255.255.255.0
 externip=64.168.237.110
 localnet=192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0

 I have Asterisk running on a box with two Ethernet interfaces and bound to
 both.  One interface, 192.168.1.2 services clients outside the firewall
 who are led to believe that Asterisk is running at 64.168.237.110.  The
 other interface, 192.168.0.200 services clients inside the firewall who
 are led to believe that Asterisk is running at 192.168.0.200.

 I am worried that Asterisk might not do what I am intending to do.   What
 I want is for Asterisk to send SIP/SDP Connection Info as 64.168.237.110
 to those clients that contact it on 192.168.1.2, and to send SIP/SDP
 Connection Info as 64.168.237.110 to those that contact it on
 192.168.0.200.

 I am worried that it might use the last externip=... declaration for both
 interfaces and ignore the other one.

 Could somebody help me with determining the treatment of the multiple
 externip=... declarations?  Or point me to how I could verify?

 I don't want to wait until the evening to find out from outside the
 firewall that this doesn't work.  (It is working fine from within the
 firewall where I contact asterisk at 192.168.0.200)

 Thank you!

 Best regards,
 Anjul.

[asterisk-users] Help! Echo problem even at T1 PRI?

2007-03-15 Thread Vincent Tam

Hello,

We have an asterisk setup at our client's site using a TE205P. The line to
telco is a 23 channels T1 PRI, however the line has random echo problems
(about 5-10% of the calls)!
Can anybody tell me if echo cancellation is really needed even at a T1 PRI
to the telco? Because people keep saying when they deploy voip solution in
Hong Kong using T1 PRI, there is no need of echo cancellation. (even the
local Digium distributor)

Asterisk is 1.2.13, zaptel is 1.2.10. I choosed the MARK2 canceller in the
zaptel.

The setting in zaptel is default:
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
echotraining=yes
rxgain=0
txgain=0

When I tried to adjust the echocancel value to a higher taps (e.g. 256) or
adjust the rxgain/txgain value, I can even hear echo much easier.

Anyone can confirm with me we should rather turn echocancelwhenbridged=no,
or even echocancel=no when we only use a T1 PRI at the zaptel? Or can have
other suggestions to try solving this problem? Because of some people's
information that T1 PRI does not need any echo cancellation, add a hardware
echo cancellation module is not an option here.

I think I need some sort of information from another 3rd party before my
boss will even agree to just try something out.


Really thank you!!
Vincent

I believe the docs have misled you. I bet /usr/src/linux is a link to
some kernel source that happens to have a kernel almost configured
correctly.

What is the output of:

  modinfo wcfxo

Anything?

  apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

and repeat the build.

Alternatively, 

  echo deb http://updates.xorcom.com/rapid sarge main /etc/apt/sources.list
  apt-get update
  apt-get install zaptel zaptel-modules-`uname -r`
  genzaptelconf
  # optional:
  #echo '#include zapata-channels.conf' /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
  #/etc/init.d/asterisk start

If you want asterisk 1.4: that should be a simple matter of adding two
symlinks, I believe. I'll have to dig in further.

 Hard to expect the business community to take Asterisk seriously

It is drifting off topic, but if all the drives in the array where  
bought from the same batch, and it was a bad batch, they could all  
fail at about the same time.

I've seen it happen in non-raid drives, I had a batch of drives all  
bought at the same time, that all went bad within about a week of  
each other. Each was in a different PC so they had slightly different  
up times and usage.

I could see if those drives had been in a RAID array and were being  
stressed equally, they may have all failed within hours or even  
minutes of each other.

You can use the hangupcause variable which us the pri cause code
supplied when a call is ended over a PRI line. For example this is the
maco we use to dial a number over PRI.

[macro-pridial]
exten = s,1,GotoIf($[${ARG1:0:2} != 00]?noint)
exten = s,n,Set(DENYINT=${DB(denyinternational/${CALLERIDNUM})})
exten = s,n,GotoIf($[ ${DENYINT} = yes ]?congestion)
exten = s,n(noint),Set(BLOCKCID=${DB(blockcid/${CALLERIDNUM})})
exten = s,n,GotoIf($[ ${BLOCKCID} = yes ]?prohib:cont)
exten = s,n(prohib),SetCallerPres(prohib)
exten = s,n(cont),Dial(ZAP/g1/${ARG1},60,Tr)
exten = s,n,Set(CDR(userfield)=${HANGUPCAUSE}.${DIALSTATUS})
exten = s,n,GotoIf($[ ${DIALSTATUS} = BUSY ]?busy)
exten = s,n,GotoIf($[ ${DIALSTATUS} = CONGESTION ]?congestion)
exten = s,n,GotoIf($[ ${HANGUPCAUSE} = 28 ]?unrecognised)
exten = s,n,GotoIf($[ ${HANGUPCAUSE} = 1 ]?discon)
exten = s,n,GotoIf($[ ${DIALSTATUS} = CHANUNAVAIL ]?congestion)
exten = s,n,Hangup
exten = s,n(busy),Busy
exten = s,n(congestion),GotoIf($[ ${HANGUPCAUSE} = 34 ]?error)
exten = s,n,Congestion
exten = s,n(error),Answer
exten = s,n,SendText(${HANGUPCAUSE}: ERROR: No channels available)
exten = s,n,Wait(1)
exten = s,n,Playback(all-outgoing-lines-unavailable)
exten = s,n,Wait(10)
exten = s,n,Hangup
exten = s,n(unrecognised),Answer
exten = s,n,SendText(${HANGUPCAUSE}: Unrecognised No.)
exten = s,n,Wait(1)
exten = s,n,Playback(that-is-not-rec-phn-num)
exten = s,n,Wait(10)
exten = s,n,Hangup
exten = s,n(discon),Answer
exten = s,n,SendText(${HANGUPCAUSE}:Out Of Service)
exten = s,n,Wait(1)

PRI channels have call supervision and Asterisk will see the
hangup/answers just fine.  The busydetect, callprogress, busycount
should be removed from your setup.

There is no need for any 'map'; any Asterisk 1.2.x release should be

usable with any Zaptel 1.2.x release, but of course we'd suggest using
the latest releases of both. There are no API changes or feature

_only_ Asterisk if you are happy with the version of Zaptel you have
installed and running.



Thanks for that. That's actually good news for those of us that have local
patches to apply to  apply to zaptel, to make wacky phones ring at a
different frequency, for example. Kevin, I would recommend  adding the above

Can anybody tell me if echo cancellation is really needed even at a T1 PRI
to the telco? Because people keep saying when they deploy voip solution in
Hong Kong using T1 PRI, there is no need of echo cancellation. (even the

I have to do echo cancellation on a PRI for one of my customers, even
though the Telco office is only two blocks away.



Asterisk is 1.2.13, zaptel is 1.2.10. I choosed the MARK2 canceller in the
zaptel.


There's also the aggressive option for MARK2, you might try that.
Or you could try the MG2 echo can.



The setting in zaptel is default:
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
echotraining=yes


The best settings for us:
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=no
echotraining=no

You'll probably have to do some experimenting, as your best values may
be different.

Good Luck!
