[asterisk-users] Issue using zaptel's dynamic spans.

2007-07-05 Thread Pranav Peshwe

Hi,
Is there any mailing list specifically for zaptel-users ? If yes, then,
sorry to bother you people, i could not locate it. Can anybody post a link
to it ? If not, then i hope, this is the right place to ask zaptel related
questions.

I'm using vanilla zaptel 1.4.3 on custom Linux 2.6.15.1. I've have a Redfone
FoneBridge2 (TDMoE) gateway which i want to use with the zap drivers.
It works fine, calls take place and audio is heard etc.. but, once the
drivers are loaded i cannot unload them. The ztd-eth kernel module fails to
unload. During development, i have no option but to reboot the machine every
now and then when, i change the span configuration :-s

Here are some details -

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# modprobe -r ztd_eth
FATAL: Module ztd_eth is in use.

Looking at the list of zap related modules -

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lsmod |grep z
Module  Size  Used by
ztd_eth 5536  1
ztdynamic   9296  1 ztd_eth
zaptel181028  2 ztdynamic,wctdm
crc_ccitt   2432  1 zaptel


The use count of ztd_eth is shown as one but, it is not being 'Used by' any
other module. This, i think, is the problem. CMIIW.
Is this a known issue ? Has anybody faced it earlier ?

Any suggestions/advice is  welcome. I'll be glad to post details if
required.
TIA.

Regards,
Pranav

Re: [asterisk-users] Need Advice/Suggestion

2007-07-05 Thread Nathan Dennis
Hi Farooq,
  I've done just that for one of our customers. All I did was
add an exten such as *56 that set a custom database value to
nightmode=true. Then as calls come in I just check the database value to
see if it is set to true or not. Note I have asterisk patched with
Bristuff so unless you do as well the hint section will not work.


See Below

exten => *56,hint,DS/56
exten => *56,1,Set(NightMode=${DB(nightmode/active)})
exten => *56,n,playback(service)
exten => *56,n,Gotoif($["${NightMode}" = "true"]?turnoff)
exten => *56,n,Set(DB(nightmode/active)=true)
exten => *56,n,devstate(56,2)
exten => *56,n,playback(activated)
exten => *56,n,hangup()
exten => *56,n(turnoff),Set(DB(nightmode/active)=false)
exten => *56,n,playback(de-activated)
exten => *56,n,devstate(56,0)
exten => *56,n,hangup

Then as a call comes in you just check the value in the database

exten => q,1,Set(NightMode=${DB(nightmode/active)})
exten => q,n,Gotoif($["${NightMode}" = "true"]?afterhoursq,q,1)
exten => q,n,GotoIfTime(8:00-17:30|mon-fri|*|*|?businesshours)

Hi all,
As we know we can configure in astersik like before 5:00pm calls go to
reception and after 5:00 pm calls go to some mobile no. One of my client
requested that he wants to manually shift the dial plan  like above as
he has flexiable timing sometime he finishes at 3:00pm some time 8pm. I
can not give him freepbx  access.
Any idea or solution.

Re: [asterisk-users] How many number of parallel calls can make through asterisk

2007-07-05 Thread Dimitri Volski
Hi,

You can see some sample configurations from the link below
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+hardware+recommendations

It really depends on the hardware, the codecs, what you are going to use 
it for, etc,etc.

I, for example, have a Pentium IV 2.4Ghz, 2Gb RAM, using G729 codec and 
putting through up to 15 simultaneous calls, with CPU load under 10%.

Are you going to be connecting your Asterisk through phone lines or 
through a VoIP provider?

If it  is VoIP provider then you would need to consider your network 
path to the provider - bandwidth, latency, loads.

Ascend Pipeline 50/75 units were great remote access devices long
before ADSL killed em off.  Yes they could handle voice, with one
or two FXS ports, and one to three BRI ports.

I think I only recently threw away the units I had in the closet and
maybe even the ones at work.

Setup was not hard, at least the ISDN bits.  We still use BRIs for our
VC systems, so they can be ordered at least for businesses.  I've also
used BRI lines to setup small offices on out CCM installation (mostly
outside of the U.S.)

The hardest part of setting one up is getting the carrier to provide
the provisioning details (switchtype, SPID or no SPID, PTP or MP).  If
you can get those details, it is no harder to setup than a PRI.

No link, it was something I used 8+ years ago, so I am surprised i
pulled it out of my memory :)  I will dig around this weekend and see if
I can find it. Pretty easy to setup, used it for an ISP connection for
centrex purposes. Hopefully I am not mis-remembering it capabilities.

We'll test your theory, I don't get anything but spam on my second

t1 in general yes, not so sure about the isdn side of things, hardware  
wise all you need is to cross the pairs, but not familiar enough with  
signalling to know.

BRI isdn has been a while since I looked at the hardware aspect at  
all, I think you can run them back to back similar to the PRI/t1 - the  
raw line is not really BRI proper, its something else similar to the  
hdsl used on t1's and the network terminator makes this into an s/t or  
U interface, the s/t being a bus sort of setup where you can have more  
than 2 devices present ( at this point is actually 2pr just like a t1  
is) some cards though have the nt1's in them so you go right from raw  
copper to card internals so not sure how that all works out. Like I  
said its been a while since I touched this stuff first hand and I may  
be forgetting something or may be mistaken on part of it.

You'd think it would -- otherwise the line simulator is somewhat
pointless, isn't it?

I think currency is really important here. You don't want to be building
something against an old implementation only to find that the result
doesn't work with anything in actual deployment.

So -- I like that simulator. We could probably scrape together the funds
to do it.

I would suggest using the AMI to watch for the complete events and have 
your ami watcher fire in the pause, that way you could use actual device

Maybe, but it will probably mean writing another driver just to provide
telco-side signalling -- or is it the same on each end?

What's the deal with PRI cards? Can you run those back-to-back?

You have two servers in your MX records.
drdos.info. 60  IN  MX  10 smtp.drdos.info.
drdos.info. 60  IN  MX  5 drdos.info.

The one weighted 10 refuses smtp connections, while it is the higher

stand s a large probability that the list server is trying that address

Brilliant, Dave.

I'm inclined to say that a real-world service from the telco is
important for testing, but it's also true that there would be a lot of
messing around in the beginning, so the first few months of service
would be a bit of a waste. If we can simulate the environment, that
would be wonderful -- as long as it can be done with current equipment.
I wouldn't want to be solving against hardware running an older standard.

I would also be interested in contributing to such a project. The caveat
is that I'm not a programmer -- we will need some programming talent on
this to make it succeed.

[asterisk-users] Missing TRANSFER event in queue log when using Local Channels

2007-07-05 Thread James FitzGibbon

Has anyone observed a problem where using Local channels with AddQueueMember
results in missing TRANSFER events?

Right now I'm using straight SIP channels when I call AddQueueMember().  I'm
contemplating moving to Local channels because the non-state-based
wrapuptime blows when you have a channel in multiple queues (they can hang
up and get a call immediately so long as it's from a different queue).  My
grand plan is to use the 'h' extension in the context where app_queue calls
my agents to invoke PauseQueueMember instead.

The problem is with the /n suffix to the channel name.  With it, I lose
TRANSFER events.  Without it, the 'h' extension gets invoked as soon as the
call is bridged to the agent.

My agent context looks like this:

[agents]
exten => 491,1,Dial(SIP/491,20)
exten => h,1,PauseQueueMember(|${CUT(CHANNEL,,1)})

When I do something along the lines of:

AddQueueMember(queuename,Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED])

Then as soon as the call is bridged, my 'h' extension gets run:

   -- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1] Dial("Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2", 
"SIP/491")
in new stack
   -- Called 491
   -- SIP/491-00aa22d0 is ringing
   -- Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1 is ringing
   -- SIP/491-00aa22d0 answered Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2
   -- Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1 answered SIP/427-9d849a90
 == Spawn extension (agents, 491, 1) exited non-zero on '
Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2'
   -- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1] PauseQueueMember("Local/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED],2",
"|Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]") in new stack
   -- Stopped music on hold on SIP/427-9d849a90

Once the call is bridged, I transfer to  from the agent softphone.  This
is what queue log looks like for this type of call:

1183671934|1183671934.5745|emerg_nccc_ld_ts|NONE|ENTERQUEUE||427
1183671937|NONE|NONE|Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/n|PAUSEALL|
1183671940|1183671934.5745|emerg_nccc_ld_ts|Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
|CONNECT|6|1183671934.5746
1183672005|1183671934.5745|emerg_nccc_ld_ts|Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
|TRANSFER||from-somecontext|6|65

If I use /n when adding the channel to the queue:

AddQueueMember(queuename,Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/n)

Then my 'h' extension is not executed until the bridged call is actually
over.  I do the same transfer, but it doesn't show up in the queue log - the
call appears to have been terminated by the caller.

1183672119|1183672119.5839|emerg_nccc_ld_ts|NONE|ENTERQUEUE||427
1183672124|1183672119.5839|emerg_nccc_ld_ts|Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
/n|CONNECT|5|1183672119.5840
1183672135|1183672119.5839|emerg_nccc_ld_ts|Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
/n|COMPLETECALLER|5|11|1

Any ideas?  I need the Pause-on-agent-hangup behaviour (or something like
it, short of adding proper wrapup state to app_queue), but I can't lose
visibility of my transfers (especially not after I just introduced the sales
people to them after never having visibility of this stat on a Nortel BCM)

Much appreciated.

Just curious,

I noticed that with SetLanguage() you can change it into a lot of other
languages. Yes one can record them easily enough with "record", but
don't like to re-invent the wheel..

Browsed through a lot of google-pages but failed to find any other
languages (except for FR and ES on the digium site)

Any pointers for german, dutch, greek, italian,  prompts?

Re: [asterisk-users] Determining the used codec for the IP Trunk (SIP Trunk)

2007-07-05 Thread Alex Balashov

Bilal,

   There are allow= options you can use on the peers in sip.conf to define
what codec capability Asterisk advertises toward them, and therefore, what
the negotiation on both call legs will ultimately settle upon.  When those
legs are bridged -- as Asterisk does unto them -- they will be of a codec
that is within that bounded set.

   You can have multiple allow lines, i.e.

   allow=g729
   allow=ulaw

   ... or just one.

   Does that help?

Re: [asterisk-users] Determining the used codec for the IP Trunk (SIP Trunk)

2007-07-05 Thread bilal ghayyad
Dear Alex;

I am asking about:

What is the configuration that I can do it to let the
traffic between the two Asterisk PBX and another IP BX
to be g729 or G711 or g723?

In other words, how can I let the ued codec for the IP
Trunk between my Asterisk and the other IP PBX to be
g729 and not g711? Ofcourse, I am assuming that the
other side also supporting g729.

Regards
Bilal 

> Where I determine the codec to be used for the SIP
Trunk (between 
> Asterik and another SIP softswitch)?

   Are you asking positively how to determine which
codec is being 
negotiated between those two elements, or,
normatively, which one is
best to use?

   If the former question, you can look at the SDP
(Session Description
Protocol) payload in the INVITEs (and other messages
part of the INVITE
transaction).  Find the 'rtpmap' lines.  They look
like this:

 a=rtpmap:18 G729/8000

   There may be multiple such lines indicating that
endpoint's support
for all of them.  If so, the only way to determine
which one is
 actually
going to be used is to look at the RTP stream with a
protocol analyser.
It should be able to tell you.  Wireshark/Ethereal
certainly can.

   If you're asking which codec should be used, it
depends on the
 desired 
application, whether the trunk is running over a LAN,
WAN, or over the 
public Internet, whether QoS is involved, etc.

You could probably do this using the Local channel.  You'd create a
context, say outbound, to take calls from the queue and connect them to
a Zap channel, with 2 extensions in that context--one for each channel.
 Then you add each of those extensions as members of the queue:

member => Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/n
member => Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/n

Make sure your dialplan in outbound returns Busy if the Zap channel is busy.

The tricky part would be passing the dialed number through...  But if
you set an inheriting channel var, it should go through the queue and
into the Local channel to your outbound extension.

Sorry I don't have any code for you... I haven't done it yet; I'm just
putting the idea out there.

Hope this helps!
Good luck.

I think your suspicions may be correct.  You could add your ZAP
channels as members in queues.conf, maybe something like this: members
=> ZAP/1, and then use queue() on your outbound extensions.  The
problem is how will your agents, in this case your ZAP trunks, know to
"pick up the line" when they are not busy.  You'd have to get these
lines to somehow go offhook if they're not already busy.  Maybe you
can do this with an AGI script.  I don't know, I've never tried to
artificially control hook status.

Personally, I'd probably just skip the whole queue idea and get some
cheap SIP or IAX trunks and fall back to them when the ZAP lines are
busy.

Possibly do a combination of things. Check if those zap chans are in 
use/busy. If they care, then create a call file using a script. I 
haven't played too much with it, so I don't know if those will queue 
until they can complete or if it will just error and delete itself. If 
you really are determined, you might even be able to route all requests 
to a script. Then have it check if there are any open lines... if so, 
create the call file... if not, then put it in a queue (in python, 
etc... not an asterisk queue), and try again in a min and see if a 
channel has opened up.


Disclaimer - I have no idea if this idea will work. :)

I seem to remember that the wan Pipeline units supported BRI, and also
provided a couple of analog phone jacks.  I will dig around in the
basement and try to find the one that I had, if I find it, who wants it
for play?

Re: [asterisk-users] Call Screening Not Working

2007-07-05 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I know there is FMFM in 1.4, but I want to know why the macro isn't working.  I 
added a NoOp and Wait to the macro as lines 4 and 5 and neither gets executed.  
As soon as I hit any number such as 2, 3 or 4, I immediately get bridged to the 
call.  I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that shouldn't happen.

Starting with 1.4, there is a built-in FollowMe application.  You can find
some docs on voip-info.org on how to use it.  Hopefully that fixes your
problem here.

[asterisk-users] Call Queues

2007-07-05 Thread Floyd
Hi everyone:

I've searching for a while and haven't found what i
need.
The thing is that i have a tdm422p with the two fxo
ports connected to the pstn. I want my sip users to be
able to call other numbers(any number) in the pstn
through my zap fxo channels. I have a big number of
sip users so as you can imagine there will be
congestion when some of them(more than two!!) want to
call outside, that is why i want to be able to put
those outgoing calls in a queue. For example if i want
to call someone in the pstn and the fxo port is
already in use, i want to be placed in a queue and
when the channel is free my call is routed to the
aproppiated destination. As far as i have read the
queues are not for this kind of stuffs,  there are
just agents or extensions that attend the calls in the
queue and nothing more. am i wrong???
Any help will be useful. 
thanks in advance!!

[asterisk-users] sometimes half audio on 7960

2007-07-05 Thread Jerry Geis
Hi,

I am getting half channel audio on cisco 7960?
Any idea why? Details below.

Jerry


This same phone has been working for MONTHS using a TDM2400p
with no issues.
Today we got a T1 installed coming into Box A with all incoming calls 
going to Box B (the TDM2400P box).
The TDM2400 is no longer in use. All incoming and outgoing calls are 
done with the T1 and Box A and Box B
use SIP between them (will change later).

I have 6 polycom phones that work perfectly in this arrangement. I have 
1 cisco 7960 that gets half channel audio.
The calling person can hear the called person but that is all.

Where do I start looking for something like this?

Again the 7960 has been fine for 2 years using the TDM2400p.

Doesnt seem to matter if calls are coming into the 7960 or if this 
person is calling out. The same half channel exists.

THanks for hte help.

Jerry

the signalling on the line simulator and phone would have to be  
compatible - phone and card are going to have the same issues with  
supporting the northamerican signalling.

probably depend mainly what country the hardware is being sold from  
what the odds of working are.

I'm seeing ISDN phones on ebay for US $15-$40. Does anyone know if the 
line simulator and a phone would work. Then get a BRI line when there's 
a driver that looks like it works.

I saw another, although more expensive, line simulator at:

But it's current production and supported by the manufacturer.

What you can't see without looking at the mail server logs on both ends
is delivery attempts. Greylisting for example can totally hose you over
depending on the implementation. Greylisting without whitelisting is
irresponsible.  How many tries did the digium server make before the
message finally got through??? That's what we need to know. Only Digium
can say.

Before poking Digium too much, I would look at exactly what YOUR mail
servers are doing that may potentially be the real cause of the delays.

[asterisk-users] Call Screening Not Working

2007-07-05 Thread Peder @ NetworkOblivion
I am using the Find-me/Follow-me example below with screening:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+tips+findme

Here is my actual config:

[macro-screen]
exten => s,1,Wait(1)
exten => s,n,Background(press-1-to-be-connected-to-the-caller)
exten => s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(response=5))
exten => 1,1,NoOp(Caller accepted)
exten => i,1,Set(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE)
exten => t,1,Set(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE)

[default]
exten => office,1,Dial(SIP/609,30,M(screen))
exten => office,2,Hangup

exten => mobile,1,Dial(SIP/608,30,M(screen))
exten => mobile,2,Hangup

exten => 6084,1,NoOp
exten => 6084,2,SetMusicOnHold(default)
exten => 6084,3,Dial(LOCAL/office&LOCAL/mobile,40,m)




I am running 1.4.5.  When I call the number, it rings the phones and 
plays the message, but no matter what I do, the call gets bridged.  If I 
hit 2, or nothing, or it times out, the call gets bridged to whoever 
picks it up.  The script should continue with the other called numbers 
until the timeout, but it doesn't seem to work that way.  Any ideas what 
is wrong?  My guess is that something changed in 1.4 to make this fail, 
but I don't really know what.

I have a bunch of old cisco stuff with BRI ports on it but it was  
never meant for voice, just purely data, so I don't think its very  
useful for this purpose, but some of the basic signalling could  
probably be tested with it.

is exploring some sort of back to back card setup worth looking into  
without committing to a line ? Then at least if a pair of cards can  
talk in the "new format" there is a better chance of them working on a  
real line. This would also have the advantage of being able to see  
both ends of the line for debugging purposes, or put the line in the  
euro mode which should work out of the box just to make sure the  
hardware setup is all valid before making changes.

I just saw a BRI card for a Lucent/Avaya G3 (which would probably still work
in the 8x00 series).  listed on Ebay for <$300. I have some experience with
Avaya switches.  We could save the cost of the line and installation by
putting this card in a switch.  The added benefit is we would control both
sides of the link and could test different configs.

Does anyone in the GTA have a G3 that they'd be willing to put the card
into?  I would be willing to pick up the cost of the card.

As I've already said, I can get one, and it's not a big deal, so I'll be

Ok, how about this for a scenario:  We could order a BRI from Bell at
Stephen's location.  We could get a Sangoma card (or some other piece of
hardware that we determine) and put it in some vanilla box.  I guess it
would be best to isolate that from Stephen's production network and then
just let the developers tunnel into it by some means.

I'd be willing to bend some ears and see if Sangoma would put up the card.

I wonder if we need piece of reference hardware.  Imagine this scenario, we
order the circuit and Bell wants to turn it up.  What do we turn up with?
It would be great if we had something that we could plug into it and get
that working just to establish that the line is delivered correctly and
functioning.

Another option is to buy something that would provide BRI service on site.
I'm thinking maybe an old PBX system or something.  I'm not sure what this
stuff would be worth.  I saw this simulator on Ebay but I don't know enough
to say whether it would be suitable for testing voice services:

I'm not in the biz but I'd be willing to contribute some $$$ toward the
project.  I'll talk to some other folks in the Toronto Asterisk User Group.
I know there are quite a few consultants/installers in the group and maybe
some will see the benefit of supporting this kind of work.

Has anyone got a PBX with spare BRI ports in it?  Maybe that's a cheap way
to get started.  We could just hook a box up to that and work out some of
the early stage stuff.  I know that people with Polycom (and other)
video/teleconferencing equipment often have BRI cards in their Nortel PBX or
Avaya gear.

It looks like we have the nucleus of a project here.  Let's keep the ball
rolling.

Re: [asterisk-users] Simple CDRs w/Asterisk/OpenSER.

2007-07-05 Thread Jaswinder Singh

Asterisk is poor with codec negotiation . It does not check if it can avoid
transcoding  by forcing codec available to both sides .. instead it will
read it's config file and will select first allowed codec that  is also
available on other device on each leg of call and happily transcode between
them .There was a patch on digium submitted by someone for asterisk 1.2.12
or so but it isnt updated from long time .  I am sure guys at digium are
aware about it and working on it . It's not  a bug  since asterisk is not a
sip proxy and tries to keep media path through it to offer its pbx features
but it would be a great feature nonetheless if implemented .

On 05/07/07, Alex Balashov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:



Suggestions on how to use Asterisk to collect CDRs from a OpenSER-based
proxy / call routing setup?  I need to get simple CDRs;  not for detailed
settlement/rating, but just for reconciliation with an ultimate TDM
carrier just to make sure we only get billed for what we're actually
using.

I'd use the often-heralded approach of dumping a call from OpenSER into
Asterisk and having it bounce right back out toward the proxy by way of
REINVITEs.  I don't want the media running through Asterisk or Asterisk
being a limiting factor in that regard.

The problem is I don't have native G.729 support - we have no need for
it because neither the customer's network elements nor ours lack an
implementation of their own they can negotiate on just fine.  But
unfortunately Asterisk insists on natively homogenising the SDP from
both sides even if it subsequently removes itself from the media path!

So, I end up with situations where on the one side, I get, say:

Customer MGW --> OpenSER --> Asterisk - sends call as G.729.

Asterisk --> OpenSER --> Our MGW - our MGW prefers G.711a.

Now, if customer MGW <-> Our MGW were talking directly, as they do
when the deal is brokered through the OpenSER proxy, they would simply
negotiate upon what they agree.  But for some reason with Asterisk
this does not seem to be working as advertised;  we get lots of failed
calls if we pass them through Asterisk because one leg is one codec
and the other is another.  I am not sure how it arrives at that
conclusion despite the overlap of shared codecs (G.729 on both sides,
I would expect it to pass thru licence-free), and to be honest, I
don't particularly care if it's a bug or a feature, I just need it
not to introduce codec issues if I use it as a billing target.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

[asterisk-users] IAX-Voicemail

2007-07-05 Thread Andrea Bencini
I have asterisk 1.2.18
Each my extention number has a mailbox; I have SIP extentions and IAX 
extentions.

When  I call an unregister extention number (SIP/IAX) from SIP 
hard/soft-phone, asterisk actives the voicemail (I can put a message in the 
mailbox).

Instead when I call an unregister extention number (SIP/IAX) from IAX 
hard/soft-phone I get an immediate hangup.

Can you help me

Re: [asterisk-users] REGEX expression for NXXNXXXXXX?

2007-07-05 Thread Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC
But those are not REGEX expressions, those are asterisk dialplan 
pattern-matching expressions.  great for the X in:

exten => _X.,1,blah

but not for use with REGEX() function.

I think it would be close to what Michael said, but like this:
1{0,1}[2-9][0-9]{2}[2-9][0-9]{6}

Michael, your expression would be satisfied by "122000" which has a 
0 in the first part of the prefix, no good, that one must be within 2-9 
range also. "1 220 *0*00 "

Just a quick question. Is there a way when making an IAX call to
transmit some additional call-data, perhaps in a variable? I could
overload callerid-name, but that is nasty and ugly :)

Thanks for any suggestions.

If you wanted to get more specific and identify ONLY NANP, you may
have to break it out into more than just one rule:

_800NXX

most of the first level reps I have ever talked to in the last 10  
years don't even know it exists, higher level people claim they don't  
offer it, still higher level people know what you are talking about  
when you say its tariffed and finally cave in to what you want.

similar situations with the telco:
- outsource vendor exclusions (don't call me)
- no line test exclusion (don't test my line without me asking first)

etc etc

all "top secret" but does exist and you have to persist to get it (at  
no charge)

the secret is get one reference phone number with this stuff setup  
right, and then insist they look at the configuration for that line  
when they tell you it doesn't exist.

2007-07-05 Thread Jon Pounder

Maybe I am looking at things too naively, but if all thats different  
is the signalling standard is this really a monumental effort to make  
a driver work with more than one standard ?

I assume you would have various line encodings to deal with just like  
t1, so you have a driver layer that handles that, then you would have  
various "commands" to put the driver into various states, eg: next  
piece of data is a whatever, decode the whatever, wait next command,  
or call them frame types or headers or whatever the right terminology  
is. Shouldn't a well written driver be pretty simple to just  
substitute the new "commands" into the existing state machine ?

This is not at all surprising -- they'd be re-selling Verizon's service.
We've already heard from another poster how eager CLECs are to resell
the incumbent's service. A lot of mutual sabotage goes on (and I have

ISDN had the bad luck of entering adoption right around the AT&T
breakup. BRI does cost as much to provision as PRI for a smaller
revenue, so, with maximizing profits on the brain, they're just not keen.

It's also small thinking.

But it is also the law. This stuff is supposed to be available.

This is the source of my other suggestion, that we put up a bounty or
launch a community driver project. I've always felt there was latent
demand -- this is an unserved need:

- smaller installations need advanced features like call progress
control, that they can only get in a BRI
- the advantages in sound quality are substantial when compared with analog
- unmanaged VoIP lines are just not reliable enough for serious businesses
- North America is totally behind on this, we look like chumps

I'm prepared to sacrifice myself for this and get a BRI for our office
if we can get a driver that supports the signalling. That's a
contribution I'm happy to make.

Sure, but when you call someone up to buy it it's a different story. Or 
perhaps it was just Verizon's usual good customer service.

Also, to get to that page from verizon.com you must first select "Large 
Business". Nowhere in small or medium business is the product offered or 
mentioned.

The discussion in this thread has been primarily about using BRI as a 
replacement for POTS in a small/medium business environment. Other than 
connecting remote offices or teleworkers, most large businesses will 
simply get PRI or larger. I had a medium sized customer of mine put in a 
full T1 just so one person could have VoIP and Internet back to the main 
office.

In light of that let me ammend my earlier statement, though I thought 
the context was clear; BRI is a great solution for small businesses, but 
  Verizon wants to pretend the service doesn't exist for them.

when we had a bunch of lines (10+) through an at&t reseller in toronto

gaining except making it easier on the telco to deliver, yet you have
all your eggs in one basket and if there is a hardware or physical
plant issue you are completely down.



I was wrong on a few counts here.  You're right.  I was using a very
optimistic price for PRI service of around $550 which you can get in
Toronto.  And I was using list pricing for Bell's featureful line that's
like centrex lite, the name is something like 'direct line'.  That is around
$55 at full price.  So you're right, I wasn't comparing apples to apples.
If you negotiate your analog line price as agressively as your PRI price
then you need more channels to make sense.

The other thing that I was thinking is that I prefer PRI to analog so much
that I even if it cost a hundred bucks more a month, it's still attractive
to me.

All that tends to support our contention that there should be a market for
NA BRI support.  You'd think many installations would benefit.



No way.message rates lines hover at $350, and flat rate's run
> $450-$500 or so.



Mea Culpa on that count too.  I'll stop guessing at pricing now.  :-)

Well, that's possible, but there would have to be quite a bit of
traffic.  You could check to see if any of your switches have recorded
any packet collisions.

I've also read about attended transfer bugs on some versions of Snom
firmware.  I've only ever used Snoms with blind transfers, so I've
never seen any of the bugs myself.  What model(s) of Snom do you use,
and what firmware version(s)?

Yes latency, and I believe it uses a sip message and waits for an ack to

Yes.  Just one thing, for the Sipura that you took to your office, did
you set "nat=yes" in sip.conf?

If the ports are forwarded, and Asterisk recognizes that this device
is NAT'ed, you shouldn't need to have a STUN server.

[asterisk-users] SIP / STUN / Network - Help!!

2007-07-05 Thread Gary
Hi Everyone.

I'm in a quandry & don't know which way to go. - Obviously I'm an Asterisk
newbie although I've been watching this list for over 2 years now.

I've got an Asterisk box (actually, it's an AsteriskNOW box) up and running
here at home. - It's on my home LAN - NAT'ed behind my LinkSys router. - On
the same LAN I've got a Cisco 7940, 7960, and Sipura SPA-1001 (obviously,
all using SIP). - They all work fine. - They can call each other, leave &
retrieve voicemail, etc. - It's a VERY basic setup. - The box also has a
Digium TDM-400P card with one each FXO & FXS ports but I haven't gotten that
far in my testing.

What I want to do is take one of my SIP devices to my office (which is ALSO
behind another NAT) and try to connect with my home Asterisk box with it.

I've read in the VOIP WIKI that if both server & SIP device are behind
(separate, non-co-located) NATs, you need both port forwarding (at the
Asterisk server side) AND the use of STUN (I'm guessing STUN is for RTP
traffic). - Is this correct?

For port forwarding, my AsteriskNOW box has a static IP on the inside of my
NAT and I've configured the LinkSys router to port-forward ports 5060 (TCP &
UDP) and all the RTP port range used (UDP only) to the static IP of the
AsteriskNOW box. - Was this the right thing to do?

Although my home IP is supposed to be 'dynamic', it hasn't changed in 4
years! (shhh! Don't tell anyone, okay) - My LinkSys router DHCP's it's
'real-world-IP-address' DNS server, etc., from my cable-modem.

So I set up yet another Sipura SPA-1001, pointed it to my 'real-world' IP,
etc., took it to my my office, and it didn't work. - Naturally. - My luck.

Is it because I need a STUN server to go through? - Or what?

The reason I chose the Sipura over the Cisco hardphone is I've read that
Sipura works well via STUN.

I know Digium developed IAX to overcome this problem, but none of my devices
support IAX.

I've read that the STUN server CANNOT be behind a NAT. - But there's free
ones we can use. - My problem is that all the free STUN servers are in North
America. - I live in Japan. - About 30 miles north of Tokyo. - And my office
is in downtown Tokyo. - If I were to use a N.A. STUN server, I'm afraid I'll
run into all kinds of latency problems.

I have no clue how on how to build a STUN server. - And would like to avoid
this if possible.

But I've also read that if the Asterisk box has a 'real-world-IP' (plugging
my Asterisk box directly into my cable modem), port forwarding & STUN are
not needed on the devices. - For me, this would mean also making my Asterisk
box also a router so all the other stuff I have here at home would still
work. - Something I've never done but am willing to give it a shot.

If anybody wants to take me by the hand and lead me to a solution, I'll be
truly gratefull! - If you want to take it off-line (off-list), please e-mail
me: gary at guthary dot com  

Oh Yeah! - Whatever I learn from this adventure will be fully documented an
made freely available on my website for the next newbie who runs into a
similar situation.

Thanks in advance & I sincerely apologize if this posting is not appropriate
for this list.

Gary Guthary

As this topic is mentioned, I have similar problems. I often get
messages in the wrong order, like this one: I got the reply (from Noah),
but the original message will probably arrive tomorrow or so, if at all.

No, it is not my spamassassin eating those - that will be invoked
_after_ asterisk-users mails already sorted into the proper folder for
the rest of incoming mails.

This is extremely annoying when discussion thread view stops working.
With a volume like that of asterisk-users, discussion threading is a
feature worth using, but it breaks when the original message comes long
after the reply to it.

For some reasons, two mails I sent seem not to have gone through. Or
will do so some day now...

[asterisk-users] G729 on Solaris SPARC/x86/x64 Codec

2007-07-05 Thread Bruce McAlister
Hi All,

Does anyone know what the current status is of the G729 codec on
Solaris? According to the following link:

http://www.asteriskvoipnews.com/asterisk_releases/_digium_g729_codec_now_available_forsolarissparc.html

there is a version available for SPARC processor's. However, I have just
had a quick look around Digium's FTP server and cannot seem to find
these codecs (supported or unsupported).

Does anyone know if Digium plan on releasing a SPARC *and/or* Intel/AMD
G729 codec on Solaris?

I would have thought with the availability of Solaris and Open Solaris
that a little more enthusiasm would have been forthcomming in getting
the codecs running on those environments?

Thanks

I have and limit me setting my CID to the list that I gave them.

  Please tell me how you can construe making a call with the the CID of a

or egrep.

Or get your favorite log watcher program.

There are many excellent log watcher pograms which do essentially what I

The error message is from the post-install operation, which is an
automatic run of ztcfg . 

As you have more than one card, that post-install action is actually
unnecessary. Just make sure you have a propr zaptel init.d script . IIRC
you should remove/rem-out the offending lines from /etc/modules.conf
(this is kernel 2.4).

Now edit /etc/sysonfig/zaptel . Rem-out all the MODULES= lines and set:

MODULES="wcte11xp wcfxo"

Then try running:

  /etc/init.d/zaptel restart

Re: [asterisk-users] AgentCallBackLogin vsAddQueueMember

2007-07-05 Thread Martin Schrott - thinking:systems
sorry, was only for users list...
Hi Kevin,
Hi list,

you are right, acting now is not needed, when callbacklogin will be removed
anywhere in future...
But thinking how to realice alternatives can't be so wrong.

Callbacklogin gives a very simple way to use more queues for one agent,
which only has to logon to only one system.
No need to make dbs or tables for saving, where the agent has to be logged
in. No need to create your own login functions. No additional tables, which
members are logged in.
 Just one entry in queues.conf and agents.conf
This is simple.

For sure, it would also be possible to use addqueuemembers functionality:
-make own tables where you save, in which queues each member has to be
logged in.
-create a table, to see wich members exist and which are logged in. Do not
forget the destination to call them.
-create a login functionallity, to use your tables.
-Then add the member to each queue by calling aqm once for each queue. (Our
cpu will thank us) for using it so much.
-do not think of logs. (there are patches helping you... and members-name,
wich you can use... try how)
It is as simple as callbacklogin ;-)

Next difficulty is, using agent-groups... When we use aqm to call different
groups, we only have to make groups in agents.conf and put them into the
queues.
That is it.

But no problem, we also can create additional tables and script a little
bit. We do not need to sleep at night.

To summerice: using aqm we would have to make own tables of groups. Then we
have to make tables of members, that are logged in. Then we have to read
this tables, check who is logged in, then call aqm for each member that is
logged in and put it into each queue, the third table has saved this member
for...

!!! Only to write it here is more work then using agent callbacklogin!
scripting it would be crazy, when callbacklogin does it for us !!!

So we can only hope, that there will be an alternative application, that
works like callbacklogin.
I am sure, a lot of cc designers will stop upgrading, if callbacklogin is
removed and now new simmilar application is provided! Nobody can effort to
do this additional work to change all dialplans. :-)

Where is the problem keeping callbacklogin as additional feature in future
versions. Nobody has to support or change it. Just keep it working. Or
create a new application that does all the same, when you can't stand it.

If you can tell me in thre lines how to use addqueuemember doing all things
we need from callbacklogin app, then I will use it from today on.
Othervise it is a reinventing of the wheel.

Hope there will be a alternate application in newer versions of asterisk.

Thanks

Martin

Right. This is why we added the 'membername' argument to the
AddQueueMember application, so that queue logs can reflect a logical
name for the queue member, regardless of what channel/interface they
logged in from.

For points #1 and #2, you are correct that this logic will have to be
built. Point #3 is already taken care of by the addition of the
'membername' as I commented on above.

However, I personally see this as a huge benefit; I much prefer Asterisk
to provide mechanisms for users to do things, but not the policy on how
they are to be used. When chan_agent is in use, you don't get to decide
what to do if a second user tries to log in from the same channel, that
has been decided for you. If instead you write that logic in the
dialplan (or start from an example you find in the docs, on the wiki,
etc.) you can completely control how the system behaves.

Absolutely; the example in doc/queues-with-callback-members.txt shows
how to do it.

If that was true, we would have already done it. In fact there is an

Re: [asterisk-users] Upgrade Asterisk

2007-07-05 Thread Jaswinder Singh

Yes just download new version of asterisk,zaptel,libpri  . "make install"
for all 3 ( first libpri , then zaptel, then asterisk ) . It is recommended
to stop asterisk b4r doing "make install" of new version . Do not do "make
samples" or it will overwrite you config's . After installing newer zaptel
do " rmmod ztdummy zaptel zttranscode" then modprobe 3 of them ( or a
restart of server will do ) . Now just start asterisk again and it will read
all the prior  config's you made as they are in /etc/asterisk . It's that
easy :) .

or just do "make install" for all 3 packages and restart server once ( it
will load new kernel modules after restart automatically and you dont need
to do that rmmod and modprobe stuff ) .

Hi!

Just ashort question - obviously I am too stupid too find the answer on
the net. :-)

I want to upgrade a running Asterisk 1.4.2 to 1.4.6 - what will I have
to do? Just install it over the existing version? Do I need to backup
the configuration? Will I need to reconfigure the source or will the new
version "import" my old settings? Will I need to update Zaptel and
Libpri too?

Argh - I installed like 50 asterisk systems but this one is the first
production machine with issues so heavy that I have to upgrade it.

Please point me to a update/upgrade howto etc. if available on the net.

Thanks a ton

[asterisk-users] Problems with misdn and ChanIsAvail

2007-07-05 Thread hdpml
Hello guys,

i have some problems with chanisavail and misdn.

Used the following syntax
Chanisavail(misdn/g:TEPorts&IAX2/trunktosecondserver)

Checked with
Chanisavail(misdn/1&IAX2/trunktosecondserver)
Chanisavail(misdn/1/${EXTEN}&IAX2/trunktosecondserver)
too.

I always get the reply mISDN/0-u11  (only the id after the - is 
different) for the variable ${AVAILCHAN}.

But mISDN has no port 0, it starts at port 1. I am not able to 
understand the problem.
With IAX and chanisavail i have no problems.

Is anybody able to help me with this problem?

Thank you very much.
