Hello,

We are creating a web-based conferencing application using Asterisk as the
voice conferencing server.

This as an open source project. We are trying to determine if there
is interest of the community and perhaps work together to improve the
application.

Using the web application, you can upload your powerpoint presentation,
manage the participants in the conference thru the web interface
(mute/unmute/kick), chat, participants can raise/lower hand to indicate she
wants to talk when muted.

Please visit http://present.blindsideproject.org (
http://present.sce.carleton.ca if that doesn't work) to try it out. Click on
the requirements link for instructions on how to setup your Idefisk.

Project website is at http://www.blindsideproject.org (
http://www.blindsideproject.org:8080 if that doesn't work). We are
requesting the University permissions to configure DNS/firewall, so please
bear with us.

Please send feedback/suggestions to this mailing list. We're also trying to
setup our own. Hope the moderators of this list don't mind.

Hoping for your feedbacks.

Thanks.

I think this is a great potential application for Asterisk - I couldn't
actually determine if/where you had a downloadable POC or if it was
still just in development conceptualization at the moment.

Either way keep up the good work and put a paypal tip jar up once you
have something people can actually use.

What's the bottom line with recent updates on 1.2.x?  Is it production ready

doesn't need any babysitting.  Do I have to worry about dropped lines,
sometimes not detecting incoming fax toneyada yada.  

I know I don't have to use fax on Asterisk but I really want to for various

[asterisk-users] Multiple TDM400p cards in one machine -- no longer an issue?

2007-05-28 Thread Chris Earle

Hi all,

Years ago, I was pretty sure attempting to use two TDM400p cards in one
machine was recommended against by Digium ... probably because the cards
couldn't hack it, and/or interrupt problems etc

I have seen some posts recently that seem to indicate it is in fact possible
these days thanks to some updated firmware perhaps? . I just need to
have two in the server because the 4 ports aren't enough ...

I'd rather just expand by one card rather than get a TDM2400 (or TDM800??)

Anyone had recent success/failure with this sort of thing?

[asterisk-users] Octasic echo cancellation

2007-05-28 Thread Sebastien Leclere


Hi,

I'm currently testing SoftEcho, an echo cancellation software for 
Asterisk from Octasic. I noticed an important increase of the quality of 
my coms, but I still have a few echo problems.


There is an ERL parameter which corresponds to an initial ERL value 
probably to optimize the echo training or something in that kind.


Is there a way to monitor, using one of the zttools, the instant ERL 
value, to be able to set this parameter correctly?


In that purpose, I would like to know where do the echo cancellation 
take place in the communication chain, is it after or before the 
amplification  by the Rx/Tx gain parameters? Will this gain apply on the 
echo cancelled signal or on the gross signal?


Anybody with experience on this product could give me some advice in the 
aim of removing all trace of echo?



Thanks by advance

Sebastien

 I was cleaning through some old IT magazines this long weekend when I

I've never heard of them but has anyone else heard of them?

Basically they have a call control appliance that can deliver centrally
held up calls between not only GSM but also redirect the call to a wifi
hotspot if you are in range. It seems like a neat concept that shouldn't
necessarily be beyond the capabilities of Asterisk (apart from the fact 
that

the end Win Mobile 5 / Symbian handset would need some type of client).

Any thoughts?

At $550 per seat looks an expensive way to transfer calls between networks
but I've never seen another CPE piece of equipment that can do this.

According to another IT magzaine, Divitas indeed uses Asterisk.  But Divitas 
does not seem to be a pure CPE solution.  That may be why they could charge 
a premium.

You are absolutely right.  Thank you for pointing out and correcting my

The corrected statistics are below.  Note that the MHz per call

[asterisk-users] Asterisk and cell phones

2007-05-28 Thread Olivier


Hello,

PBX vendors used to sell software extensions providing enterprise services
to cell phones.

Main features were :
- 4 digit dialing or directory access,
- call forwarding,
- unified messaging.

Now that WiFi and dual mode cell phones get more popular, these Java-based
software should be more successful on the market as bandwidth costs
decrease.

My question are :
1. How Asterisk would compare on cell phone integration with PBX or IPBX
vendors ?
2. Is there now a way to enhance high end cell phones with third party
software to gain access to Asterisk features ?
3. More specifically, has anyone tested Nokia EXX dialing capabilities ?
Would it be easy to customise some callback features  with such phones
For example :
you dial a number and hit a home-made Callback key : your phone then dials a
callback server number instead, hangs up, waits for this callback server to
call and lastly replies the real number you would like to be connected with
(this could be useful when receiving charges are (much) cheaper than
emitting charges).

Best regards

Not sure exactly what you mean. 

Since I had a fast look over the installation docs which are talking about 
cygwin
and other things running on windows, I was supposing that it run on Windows.

It is a J2EE/Ajax web application. So if you've got Tomcat 5.x running on 
Linux, you can deploy the war file into it.

Yep ;-)!

 I'll upload a WAR file (blindside.war) into our server tonight or tomorrow. 
 That way you can download it, put it into your Tomcat's webapps directory, 
 modify the blindside.properties file and off you go.

That's will be really great and fast to test :-)!

William Moore wrote:

Are you recording memory figures as well and have you checked the
total used memory?  Or did I miss it somewhere?  Thanks for doing
this, scalability testing is always good.


William,

This round of benchmarking is heavily focused on CPU utilization,
because it is causing an immediate problem for me.  However, I am
tracking some other statistics on a daily basis including memory
utilization, swap utilization, load averages, and active channels and calls.

One of my colleagues takes the text file I produce and creates graphs
using Cacti and rrdtool.  You'll be interested in these two (sorry for 
the format of the URLS, but otherwise the list was eating my posts):


- Percent CPU Used With No. Calls and No. Channels
img509DOTimageshackDOTusSLASHimg509SLASH3927SLASHastcpuandcallsbf4DOTpng
- Asterisk Memory Used (KB)
img47DOTimageshackDOTusSLASHimg47SLASH7615SLASHastmemusedgq9DOTpng

Note that even with a peak call volume of approximately 400 active calls
and 550 active SIP channels, the memory utilization never surpasses 600
KB.  I'd estimate that most Asterisk installations would avoid swapping
with 1 GB of RAM.  A 2nd GB might be useful to provide plenty of room
for file caching so that your hard disk doesn't become a bottleneck.  We
also record all of our calls to a 6 GB RAM disk, so our server has a
total of 8 GB of RAM but that isn't necessary in most circumstances.

Overall, Asterisk seems to be very efficiently coded as far as memory is
concerned.  Note that for other reasons we perform a nightly reboot, so
I don't know if there are any memory leaks that would surface over time.

Thank you,

JR Richardson wrote:

The Dual-Core system you are working with must have cost a bundle, several
thousand.  My approach has been to stick with single cpu, single core
servers and add more servers to the cluster, versus building bigger, faster
Proc servers. With sub $1000 servers, I can achieve 150-200 calls per
server, cluster several servers together and for the same price as a quad
proc dual-core server have 700-1000 call capacity.

Now, with that said, a cluster becomes harder to build and operate than a 1
server Asterisk implementation and does not work well in some environments,
such as with large call queues.  But when you are talking straight call
capacity, multiple servers will usually dominate singe servers in relation
to cost.
At the start of our Asterisk project, scaling vertically seemed like the 
simpler approach and to a certain extent it is necessary because of our 
call queues.  Now that it seems like we've pushed this approach as far 
as it will go, my eagerness to study and implement Asterisk clusters is 
growing.  I know that horizontal scaling will have its own set of 
problems, but at this point I think they will be more manageable than 
what we're currently dealing with.


Could you please give me a rough overview of your clustering 
architecture?  I don't need too many details, but a list of the 
technologies/programs you are using would be a great basis for my 
research.  I currently planning to look into SER and DUNDi, and another 
poster suggested looking at OpenSSI. 

Nice discussion, and thanks for posting your benchmark results and feedback.
  
You're welcome.  I'll post some large scale numbers off of our 
production server soon.  I'm also going to start looking at SIPp, which 
may give me a way to gather large scale statistics in a more controlled 
environment.

Sounds like you are running into the hardware limitations of your 
systems PCI or Front Side Bus (FSB) and not necessarily an issue of 
asterisk.  In short there is a limited amount of bandwidth on the 
computer's PCI Bus (33 MHz)  and the FSB (100-800MHz).  One thing to 
remember is that ALL cores and data streams need to share the PCI and 
FSB.Asterisk is very processor and memory intensive.  At the 
extreme level of usage more cores won't help if data is stuck in the 
pipe.  So the performance planing you described would be expected.

Mark,

That is a great theory and I'd like to follow up on it.  Do you know if 
the PCI or FSB buses are instrumented by Linux?  If not, are you aware 
of any way to gather statistics about their utilization?   I'd like to 
see if the numbers support your idea and, if so, which bus is saturated.


Let me add a little bit of extra information to this discussion.  The 
CPU utilization does not flatten out at 50%.  In fact, as more calls are 
added, Asterisk will eventually drive the idle percentage down to single 
digits with surprisingly few problems.  If PCI or FSB bandwidth were the 
limiting factor, wouldn't the CPU utilization top out at the point that 
the available bandwidth was used?

RE: [asterisk-users] Octasic echo cancellation

Hi Sebastien,

I'm just a lowly user but I will tell you what I think I understand about
it.  

There is nothing in the Octasic documentation that suggests you can have
continuosly updated statistics but I agree that would be a nice to have
feature.  Have you tried contacting Octasic about that?

You can set the ERL and tail length in the octveqd.conf file which you need
to manually copy into the /etc/ directory as per the Octasic documentation
and octveqd.conf file included with softecho.  By default they are set to
9db and 64ms respectively.

It is my understanding EC takes place AFTER the tx/rx gain as part of the
Zaptel driver function.  Therefore your tx/rx gain WILL have an effect on
it's operation and (I think) the ERL values.

If your using Digium cards you should run fxotune and set your gains.  With
Sangoma cards you only need to set your gains.  If that is all set up ok
softecho should get rid of all your echo.   If not I would suggest you try
increase the tail length to 128ms in octveqd.conf.  I don't think you should
need to change any of the other settings.

Hi,

I'm currently testing SoftEcho, an echo cancellation software for Asterisk
from Octasic. I noticed an important increase of the quality of my coms, but
I still have a few echo problems.

There is an ERL parameter which corresponds to an initial ERL value probably
to optimize the echo training or something in that kind.

Is there a way to monitor, using one of the zttools, the instant ERL value,
to be able to set this parameter correctly?

In that purpose, I would like to know where do the echo cancellation take
place in the communication chain, is it after or before the amplification
by the Rx/Tx gain parameters? Will this gain apply on the echo cancelled
signal or on the gross signal?

Anybody with experience on this product could give me some advice in the aim
of removing all trace of echo?


Thanks by advance

 Subject: [asterisk-users] Bottom line on fax reception

 So what is the bottom line?  Does it work or not.  I've heard stories
it
 works, it doesn't work, it kinda sorta works when it's not raining out 
 side.
 Everything under the rainbow.

 What's the bottom line with recent updates on 1.2.x?  Is it production 
 ready for fax?  By production ready I mean that it just works all the 
 time
and
 doesn't need any babysitting.  Do I have to worry about dropped lines, 
 sometimes not detecting incoming fax toneyada yada.

 I know I don't have to use fax on Asterisk but I really want to for 
 various reasons.  Mostly incoming but outgoing is a nice to have.  
 Should I
use an
 addon package and if so which one?  Any help would be appreciated.

[asterisk-users] Polycom Static IP

2007-05-28 Thread Forum

I am still having issues with my Polycom 301 phones when I disable DHCP.  I
give the phone a static address and I keep getting the error 'could not
contact boot server using existing config'.  As soon as I set it back to
DHCP enabled the phone can see the boot server and I'm online.

As it has been said many many times before, Fax detection is an art 
and most of the time is not reliable.  Faxing on the other hand, using 
iaxmodem along with HylaFAX+ works very well.  Search the archives.

No. Digium still refuses to include proper faxing support in Asterisk.
OpenPBX is still unstable and developers really aren't too excited
about getting it to work... to much other stuff to fix before they
worry about fax. FWIW OPBX has seemed sort of dead recently.

If you want proper (T.38) fax support then pick up a Cisco AS53xx,
AS54xx, AS58xx, 2600, 3600, 7200. You need IOS 12.1 or above, double
check Cisco for specific WIC, RAM and other misc. requirements of
course!

Hello,

 

We are creating a web-based conferencing application using Asterisk as
the voice conferencing server. 

 

This as an open source project. We are trying to determine if there is
interest of the community and perhaps work together to improve the
application. 

 

Using the web application, you can upload your powerpoint presentation,
manage the participants in the conference thru the web interface
(mute/unmute/kick), chat, participants can raise/lower hand to indicate
she wants to talk when muted. 

 

Please visit http://present.blindsideproject.org
http://present.blindsideproject.org/ (http://present.sce.carleton.ca
http://present.sce.carleton.ca/  if that doesn't work) to try it out.
Click on the requirements link for instructions on how to setup your
Idefisk. 

 

Project website is at http://www.blindsideproject.org
http://www.blindsideproject.org/ (http://www.blindsideproject.org:8080
http://www.blindsideproject.org:8080/  if that doesn't work). We are
requesting the University permissions to configure DNS/firewall, so
please bear with us. 

 

Please send feedback/suggestions to this mailing list. We're also trying
to setup our own. Hope the moderators of this list don't mind. 

 

Hoping for your feedbacks.

 

Thanks.

[asterisk-users] Language in Zaptel.conf

2007-05-28 Thread Carlos Chavez

I am having a problem setting the default language for Zap interfaces.
I have an Asterisk 1.4.4 server on CentOS 5 with two Astribank 8 units
for analog devices.  Here is a sample configuration on one of the ports:

language=es
context=oficina
callerid=Miriam Perez Vite100
mailbox=100
usecallerid=yes
callwaiting=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
cancallforward=yes
callreturn=yes
echocancel=yes
echotraining=800
rxgain=0.0
txgain=0.0
busydetect=yes
busycount=6
callprogress=no
accountcode=General
amaflags=default
signalling=fxo_ks
pickupgroup=1
callgroup=1
faxdetect=no
group=0
channel = 32

As you can see I set the language=es parameter (and do this for all
interfaces).  I installed the spanish sound set for Asterisk
in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/es (with links to the appropriate
directories for letter, digits, phonetic, etc).  All Zap interfaces
still play all sounds in English.  Only if I do a
Set(CHANNEL(language)=es) do I get the sounds in Spanish.  When I do a
zap show channels the language column is blank.

The server also has an E1 with Unicall where I have also set the
default language to Spanish and all calls coming through the E1 do play
the sounds in Spanish.  Any ideas why the Zap channels do not want to
set the default language?

I use Asterisk and Hylafax and iaxmodem to send 600+ faxes per week with no

sitting

Hylafax and iaxmodem with Asterisk works very well - check out iaxmodem and

[asterisk-users] language in zapata.conf [was: Language in Zaptel.conf]

Couple hundred thousand per month - at least on one installation.

Are you running asterisk and hylafax on the same machine?  What is 
your TDM connectivity?




Yes, same machine, TDM is PRI, usually... at least it is on the 
installation I am mentioning.



Hylafax uses quite a lot of CPU juice.



Huh?  Certainly much, much less than Asterisk.

  Anyone ever scale up a quad T1/E1 server for faxing using asterisk 
and hylafax?  Must be a heck of a server!




It's okay.  :-)

RE: [asterisk-users] Bottom line on fax reception

Thanks for all the replies.  Seems there are at least 2 or 3 people giving
strong recommendations to iaxmodem/hylafax as a reliable (ie. business grade
production) solution.  That is just the sort of feedback I was looking for.

My application is just standard business reception of faxes.  Right now they
use WinFax and probably receive about 30 to 50 faxes a day.  I want to wean
them off Winfax as it's not really supported anymore and I dislike all
things Symantec in general.

Receiving faxes on Asterisk has the added benefit of being able to use the
fax line as an extra outgoing line when the rest are in use.  That is what
they are doing now on their key system and they don't want to lose that
ability.  I don't blame them.

I use Asterisk and Hylafax and iaxmodem to send 600+ faxes per week with no

Hylafax and iaxmodem with Asterisk works very well - check out iaxmodem and
hylafax lists for much bigger examples

 So what is the bottom line?  Does it work or not.  I've heard stories
it
 works, it doesn't work, it kinda sorta works when it's not raining out 
 side.
 Everything under the rainbow.
 
 What's the bottom line with recent updates on 1.2.x?  Is it production 
 ready for fax?  By production ready I mean that it just works all the 
 time
and
 doesn't need any babysitting.  Do I have to worry about dropped lines, 
 sometimes not detecting incoming fax toneyada yada.
 
 I know I don't have to use fax on Asterisk but I really want to for 
 various reasons.  Mostly incoming but outgoing is a nice to have.
 Should I
use an
 addon package and if so which one?  Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Brad,

I am not sure if you know about the Asterisk-IM plugin for Openfire.
Basically it supports dialing contacts and arbitrary numbers through
Spark and updates presence based on being on call or not.
One of our next steps would be to integrate conferencing so you could
setup (and control) a voice conference much the same way you can do with
Jabber groupchat.
We also have a web conferencing app in a pre beta state sitting around
for some time now (based on Asterisk-Java, DWR and Tomcat) with the
original intend to use it for a commercial service which never got
really started though.
I am not sure if we could come together in some way but if you are
interested feel free to contact me off-list.

Fax reception does work reliably IF (big IF) you are faxing using a 
transport media that is conducive to faxing.  The internet is not a 
transport method that will result in 100% reliable connectivity.  If 
you're on a reasonably good internet connection with low-latency and 
jitter between you and your voip service AND you are using ulaw, you 
should get acceptable results for residential purposes.  I've connected 
my Brother MFC to a Digium TDM400 card and successfully sent and 
received faxes over the internet in the past.  I've also had my share of 
failures with the same connection when a large file was being 
downloaded, even with traffic shaping enabled. 

People need to be VERY clear about this when they say they are faxing 
successfully through Asterisk.  Lee has all sorts of ammunition why you 
shouldn't even try it over IP, at least not in a business setting.

RE: [asterisk-users] RE: Bottom line on fax reception

If you are a junk spam faxer then it should suit your needs.  

If you occasionally send faxes and if you do not receive one or the
other party does not receive one or it spits out junk but that is OK,
then it should fit your needs. 

If you are faxing contracts or other important documents that are worth
something, then go for a more reliable solution.

On a 3ghz HP DL320 with a gig of RAM, each fax took about 5% indicated
by top.  I would not want to go above ten simultaneous faxes so I setup
ten IAX Modems (50% in top).  Even at that rate, there were a lot of
failures.  I did not bother to figure out why because these were legal
contracts, in bulk, amounting to big dollars.

The variables are very simple for any of these kind of decisions.  Don't
think about savings, think about costs.

Costs of equipment
Costs of time (resources) implementing
Costs of maintenance 
Costs of losing data (faxes in this case) 
Costs of going back and doing it the right way if you find the above
costs are higher than another solution.

RE: [asterisk-users] TE205P, E1, Panasonic PBX and hang-up issues

According to your CLI output, the channel is being torn down.  

Is there a lag on the CLI between the inside channel and the outfacing
channel getting the hangup request?

Does this only happen on mobile phones?  I know if I call my cell and
hangup, it will continue to ring a couple or even a few more times.

 Yes that makes more sense. Now to the problem, please post your
 zapata.conf as well as your zaptel.conf. Also if you don't mind
 downloading the config file from the Panasonic TD1232 and email to me
 off list so I can take a look at it and make sure the settings are ok
 on the panasonic side.

for my application I am more concerned with inbound working, outbound  
is just a bonus if it works. one of the big points is when you have a  
distributed workforce conventional fax machines don't work out since  
you get a paper result in one place and the recipient in another.  
Hylafax output can easily be redirected from a general delivery  
mailbox, or people can have their own fax extensions or DID to  
automate delivery even more. In my application voip itself really  
doesn't factor in either, the fax setup is on the same box the analog  
lines physically terminate at.


I have had pretty good luck with an old slow machine, ancient  
asterisk, low quality channel bank, and a physical fax modem on the  
same box as asterisk running hylafax, analog line in - pbx - analog  
line out - faxmodem, occasionally I get errors on faxes, and rarely  
someone can't get a fax through, but giving them the extension of a  
physical fax machine always works. So I am not convinced that problem  
is purely to blame on anything other than the far end station.


What I would like to eliminate is the fxs port and physical faxmodem  
from the setup and use iaxmodem instead (frees up a port, plus doesn't  
need faxmodem at all, and less complicated) it sounds like this sort  
of configuration works pretty well according to most of the posters. I  
know there are some issues with fax autodetection, but normally the  
sender fax is programmed to retry a few times, and failing that, your  
answer message could include a message to hit start on the fax machine  
if it does not start automatically, or dial an extension manually to  
start it.


another thing I like to do is if I scribble something down on a piece  
of paper, I just drop it in the fax machine and send it to the fax  
modem by calling its extension, I get a nicely scanned pdf in the mail  
that I can then forward to  anyone without knowing their fax number or  
paying for a fax call, great for emailing diagrams of things without  
taking the time to draw them on the computer.

 is purely to blame on anything other than the far end station.
 
 What I would like to eliminate is the fxs port and physical faxmodem
 from the setup and use iaxmodem instead (frees up a port, plus doesn't
 need faxmodem at all, and less complicated) it sounds like this sort
 of configuration works pretty well according to most of the posters. I
 know there are some issues with fax autodetection, but normally the
 sender fax is programmed to retry a few times, and failing that, your
 answer message could include a message to hit start on the fax machine
 if it does not start automatically, or dial an extension manually to
 start it.
 
 another thing I like to do is if I scribble something down on a piece
 of paper, I just drop it in the fax machine and send it to the fax
 modem by calling its extension, I get a nicely scanned pdf in the mail
 that I can then forward to  anyone without knowing their fax number or
 paying for a fax call, great for emailing diagrams of things without
 taking the time to draw them on the computer.

Yes, I suppose the thread title is reception.  

I am pretty sure the PDF decoding or encoding is what eats up the
processor cycles, tiff would probably be much less processing.  

The poor man's scanner option is also pretty nice.  Depending on the fax
machine, it could be on par with a Panafax which is a costly little and
awesome piece of equipment.

Thanks,
Steve

[asterisk-users] [1.2.18] Wrong steps in extensions.conf?

2007-05-28 Thread Gilles Ganault


Hello,

	Sometimes, when a call comes in from the PSTN through our VoIP gateway, 
the information that is sent to our web page that logs calls includes the 
original CID name instead of the one that is we expect to be rewritten on 
the fly using Asterisk's LookupCIDName:


=
;extensions.conf
[internal]
exten = group,1,LookupCIDName
exten = group,n,AGI(web.agi|${CALLERID(num)}|${CALLERID(name)})
exten = group,n,Dial(${EXT204})
=
;/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/web.agi
#!/usr/bin/perl

#use LWP::Simple;
use URI::Escape;
use LWP 5.64;

open STDOUT, '/dev/null';
#Causes double entry?
fork and exit;

my $cidnum = $ARGV[0];
my $cidname = $ARGV[1];

$safe_cidname = uri_escape($cidname);

my $browser = LWP::UserAgent-new;

my $url = http://www.acme.com/input.php?;;
$url .= name= . $safe_cidname . ;
$url .= number= . $cidnum . ;

($min, $hrs, $day, $month, $year) = (localtime) [1,2,3,4,5];
$currentdate = sprintf(%02d/%02d/%02d, $day, $month+1, $year % 100);
$currenttime = sprintf(%02d:%02d, $hrs,$min);
$url .= date= . $currentdate . ;
$url .= time= . $currenttime;
#print $url . \n;

my $response = $browser-get( $url );
die Can't get $url -- , $response-status_line unless $response-is_success;
print $response-content;
=

Could it be that, sometimes, Asterisk doesn't wait for the previous step to 
be completed before moving on to the next?


Thank you.

[asterisk-users] Alcatel - Asterisk setup

2007-05-28 Thread Carlos Hernandez


Hi all:

We are looking for someone with experience in Alcatel PBX  - PRI - 
Asterisk  integration


Please get in touch off list.. We're wanting to hire a professional 
subcontractor, developer or company to get around some issues like these:


Asterisk shows PRI to Alcatel is up, but when trying to dial from 
Alcatel to Asterisk results in a disc tone

(Asterisk do send calls properly into Alcatel)

If / when we manage to get anything from Alcatel, we get just the first 
digit of the number the user is intending to call.. Asterisk expects the 
whole number at once, so it fails..
Most of the time we get nothing at all from Alcatel, we think something 
is missing, so Alcatel sees the link is down.


Please let me know if you have done this type of work before. We are not 
wanting to involve the Alcatel people, unless really required.


Is there any special way to set up zaptel/zapata so Alcatel detects the 
PRI to be operational?

Is there any special way to receive the calls once the PRI is up?

Right now asterisk is set with:  pri_net  


Any information or hints will be greatly appreciated

Thank you,
Carlos

As you can see I set the language=es parameter (and do this for

in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/es (with links to the appropriate
directories for letter, digits, phonetic, etc).  All Zap interfaces
still play all sounds in English.  Only if I do a
Set(CHANNEL(language)=es) do I get the sounds in Spanish.  When I do a
zap show channels the language column is blank.
   
   Duh. It seems that the value of language in zapata.conf is indeed 
   ignored. My bad. Writing a fix.
  
  And sadly I was looking at an obsolete copy of the SVN. That has already 
  been fixed in the SVN after 1.4.4 was released:
  
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=9626
http://svn.digium.com/view/asterisk?rev=62331view=rev
  
  (reported by sergee and fixed by russel)
  
  Well. At least I fixed the title of the thread...
  
 
   So is this fixed by using Asterisk SVN or Zaptel SVN?

Asterisk SVN. Or by applying the above small fix to 1.4.4 .
