Configurable packetization was added introduced with the release of 1.4.0. For details look at the rtp-packetization.txt file in the doc directory for full details. The short answer is to append :size to any codec on your allow directive that you want to change from the default of 20ms. Ex. Allow=g729:40 Dan Dan, Can I make this change in 1.2.X ?

Re: [asterisk-users] Quick DUNDi Poll Questions, For All Asterisk, Users, Please Give Feedback
On Sun, Aug 19, 2007 at 09:00:33PM -0400, Matthew Brothers wrote: Questions: 1. Is the wiki DUNDi example and the dundi.conf file too difficult to follow for new users? I wouldn't exactly say that it is too difficult but that the target audience for the default examples is not the average person/entity that could make use of the power inherent with DUNDi. When an average * user/admin wants to use DUNDi they will want to start out small and local rather than worry about all of the intricacies of the e164 standard. It is much easier, in my opinion, to learn the power of DUNDi on a simple level and scale that up to a more globally connected platform. I'd say that duni.conf is a reference, and you expect it to be an introductory document. A reference should be comprehensive. It is best used after you've grasped the basic concepts, and together with a text search. Asterisk's sample configuration files actually serve a role of a reference. If you were to look for an introduction-level document in the asterisk source, you should have started in the /doc directory. Sadly the documentation there is close to non-existing at the moment: http://www.asterisk.org/doxygen/1.4/AstDUNDi.html How did I find that page? I went to the doxygen-generated documentation for 1.4: http://www.asterisk.org/doxygen/1.4/ In there, one non-trivial jump to the rest of the interesting documentation: Related Pages And there I can find some pretty handy documentation. If you have anything more to comment on that, I guess the place for that is either the (practically dead) asterisk-doc mailing list, or looking at some of the work done on the admin guide for 1.6 .

I have what is, I am sure, a relatively common straightforward problem (no, NOT that kind of problem!)... I'm trying to hook two asterisk servers together so I can make a distributed PBX. Here's the scenario: [MASTER] is in the office. It has unrestricted access to the internet, and a fixed IP address. It has 3 SIP hardphones configured working, plus a couple of softphones which log in/out as necessary. The phones are on extensions 5100-5104, with a special extension 5999 which just plays music. [HOME] is at home. It has internet access only through a Microsoft ISA 2003 firewall, and has a dynamic IP address. It has 1 SIP hardphone configured, and working, on extension 5110. I can add a second hardphone to verify that this (new build) server is working OK, but all of the messages indicate it's fine. What I want to do, obviously, is have ALL of the extensions (5XXX) pretending to be on the same PBX. i.e. if I dial 5100 (on [MASTER]) from 5110 (on [HOME]), the call goes through everyone's happy; and vice versa, calling 5110 from 5100. I know I need to use IAX to achieve this (as IAX can negotiate its way past the firewall), but I can't find the magic incantations for IAX.CONF (on either server) to make them talk nicely to each other. They did, very briefly, as the [MASTER] server spotted the IP address of [HOME], added it to the peer list, my heart rose; but, now it's dead again. Rather than post my broken conf files here, can anyone suggest a nice'n'easy way to get this to work? Many thanks in advance.

[asterisk-users] Queues with Dynanic Users (BUG?)
I am running r79979 of Asterisk Trunk, and I am having problems trying to use app_queue.so. I want to use the extension 510 to be a line where users can call technical support. Extensions 511 and 512 are used by the operators to dynamically make themselves a Queue Member or not. So, operators call 511, and they should get added to the Queue as a Queue member. When users call 510 then, it actually does ring everyone who has called 511. The problem is when the operator comes to pick up the call. The operator hears nothing, and the user still hears the Music on Hold. Not only that, but after about 5 seconds, the operators call gets dropped. Is there anything that I am doing wrong?

Re: [asterisk-users] Nokia cell connected to Asterisk
Well chan_bluetooth is really amazing (especially if your phone does not support SIP). You connect your phone via bluetooth to your asterisk box and it becomes a channel type. You can use it as an extension(FXS) or a phone line (FXO). I believe you can send and receive SMS through the phone/Asterisk as well. Chan_bluetooth README is in the asterisk-addons trunk and gives you basic instruction on setting it up. You get several added pieces of functionality with this setup. SMS send and receive through your phone using Asterisk?, FXO failover or LCR, FXS where your cell phone becomes an extension.

About the firewall, actually the client PC and Asterisk on the same LAN (my PC is 192.168.8.2 and Asterisk is 192.168.8.4), the only possible thing is the firewall on the fedora server (Asterisk server), but I am not so friendly with fedora to know how can I check if the firewall on fedora enabled if u can help me (fedora is like redhat). I don't know fedora either, but try: iptables -n -L and it it spews forth lots and lots of lines, then there is local firewalling. You can turn all iptable firewalling off with: iptables --flush iptables --delete-chain but it will restore upon reboot (probably) Whether turning all firewalling off is a good thing or not, is up to you, but as it's on a private LAN, then I'd suggest it's probably OK.

JR Richardson wrote: Questions: 1. Is the wiki DUNDi example and the dundi.conf file too difficult to follow for new users? 2. Does the complexity of the DUNDi setup discourage you from using it or even attempting to configure it? 3. If there was a simple tutorial, step by step guide with easy to setup and test examples, would this encourage more users to investigate and use DUNDi? I'm interested in putting together a new-user tutorial about DUNDi configuration and setup. There is a lot of great information, setup guides already but the feedback I get is that the current examples are a bit complicated to follow for new users. Your feedback is appreciated. Thanks. JR I just happened to spend some time this weekend messing with DUNDi after hearing the discussion on the asterisk users conference. I would say there is definitely room for improvement in the documentation. I did manage to get it working but there were a few things that would have helped me get moving more quickly: * I took me quite a while (and I'm still not sure I get it all) to understand what exactly a dundi context is. What are best-practices in naming them? Where else does this name get used? Something that showed the relationships between dundi context in the mappings section, the peers section and how it's used (and I mean more than just use a switch= statement) in the dialplan would be helpful. * Stating more clearly that the [mappings] section of dundi.conf determines how OTHER systems map dundi searches in a specific dundi context to extentions.conf contexts and how to connect to them on THIS system. * I had to guess a little bit about how to use dynamic peers. dundi.conf has a register=yes option but it doesn't specify how you told asterisk that it had a dynamic address. Knowing how it's done in IAX and SIP I just copied that syntax and it seemed to work. Also, an example with a dynamic peer would be helpful. I haven't gotten this far in testing, but if a site has a dynamic address how do you set up the IAX channel so the static side can contact the dynamic via IAX? As for your #2 and #3 questions: Once you have a basic understanding of what the components of DUNDi are and how they work I think it's only slightly more complex than setting up an IAX trunk between two systems. Which is all you're really doing anyway with some added features. I think simple examples showing you how to setup a DUNDi cloud with two systems that explained what each part of the config file accomplished would be very helpful to new users. A HOWTO that gives me a cookie cutter config file and says put host A address here, put host B address here... may get me a working setup but I still don't have any idea how to expand it without understanding it. My 2 cents anyway. -Dave ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] Quick DUNDi Poll Questions, For All Asterisk, Users, Please Give Feedback
I wouldn't exactly say that it is too difficult but that the target audience for the default examples is not the average person/entity that could make use of the power inherent with DUNDi. When an average * user/admin wants to use DUNDi they will want to start out small and local rather than worry about all of the intricacies of the e164 standard. It is much easier, in my opinion, to learn the power of DUNDi on a simple level and scale that up to a more globally connected platform. I'd say that duni.conf is a reference, and you expect it to be an introductory document. A reference should be comprehensive. It is best used after you've grasped the basic concepts, and together with a text search. Asterisk's sample configuration files actually serve a role of a reference. The config files can be both a reference and an introduction. Look at sip.conf. Most of the examples in that file are relatively simple, what you would expect for a beginner to set up most of the time. There are also some more complex examples in that file. Lastly, the sip.conf file has a good section that explains pretty much any option that could be used in sip.conf. We should strive to make all of the conf files similar to sip.conf and iax.conf. I don't disagree with you that a separate intro document is needed but there is no reason that the conf files could not serve a broader purpose.

Re: [asterisk-users] Call Limits
Well only certain situations expose this bug. I am able to reproduce this bug in two instances. One is with the Adtran Total Access 900 series when it receives a fax call it sends a INVITE to the Asterisk. When Asterisk receives this INVITE it changes the call from peer to user, so by the end of the call, the call counter for user gets updated not the peer (details in the bug). The other time is when the peer/user does a re-invite with another asterisk server, same thing happens. So I ended up disabling call limits overall since it wasn't too much of a big deal for me, perhaps other people have disabled it also. -Remi Rizwan Hisham wrote: well i have mentioned earlier that it happens to only one user. all of the other users limits are working fine.

I HOPE you have the two reversed. Usually, the duration is the total time from the moment Asterisk picked up the incoming call, to the time the conversation ended. The billsecs is usually smaller-- the time from the moment the callee answered the ringing phone to the end of the conversation. So, the billsec field is usually SMALLER than the duration. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Is it possible, when transferring a call, to set the user ID to that of the outgoing number instead of the incoming number? I believe the answer is (was) yes.

That information you need to extract from queue_log and not from the CDR. You need something like Queuemetrics to give you comprehensive reports on queue and agent activity. The problem with queue_log is - that it is not stored in mysql :p For me this works great: On entering queue, call ResetCDR() - if there are some prompts/IVRs before.. I think, this also resets answer status, so you will have new answer status for agent picking up in queue's CDR. Queue will have one CDR, and each ringed agent will have another (and some more in 1.4). Then in queue's CDR you will have billsec - conversation time, and duration - total time while connected to queue. So - waiting time is billsec-duration.

Is it possible, when transferring a call, to set the user ID to that of the outgoing number instead of the incoming number? I believe the answer is (was) yes. I seem to remember there is an option to the Dial command, possibly o. Check on the voip-info.org wiki. Maybe this is not true for 1.4 anymore, no idea. There seems to be a difference between transfer with or without speaking to the callee first, and most probably transfers made from the phone features (i.e. transfer button on some phones) will not allow to send the original caller ID. New twist, does it matter what the destination media is? Meaning, the call would be coming in on a T1, going out on a T1, but ending on a POTS line (which supports caller ID). Not the media(SIP/T1) is the problem for outgoing caller ID, but the provider/carrier. For SIP, Zap... devices connected to your asterisk as their server, you can of course send any callerid you want. As soon as you have to hand over the call to any provider, be it SIP, T1, ISDN, IAX,... you have to check wether they allow to set any ID, to only set your own IDs (which are assigned to the outgoing line as incoming numbers) or if they allow doing any CALLERID changing at all. Some providers do not even allow to block the own number, outgoing (for example, afaik, 11 SIP in Germany), others allow to set only numbers assigned to the phone line in question or block calls (without special agreements this seems to be the standard setup for PRI, ISDN and analogue lines in Germany) - others allow to send any number if it is valid (where valid means the provider's idea of a phone number, it seems) - sipgate.de seems to allow to set nearly anything starting with +49. From what I learned about North American whereabouts the situation seems to be similar - business providers seem to be willing to offer more options to their customers, check with your providers.

[asterisk-users] Zaptel 1.2.20 echo cancelling problem
On my Asterisk installation, I've had to roll back to Zaptel 1.2.19. When I use 1.2.20, I get very bad echo problems. It seems to work OK if I use a quieter-than-normal speaking voice, but at a sufficient sound level, the echo breaks through and then never goes away. The problem goes away if I revert to 1.2.19. Hardware in question: Digium TE110P, Adtran TA750 channel bank, Adtran 1175407L2 FXO card. The phone was on a TDM400P FXS port. Is there something else I need to tweak in 1.2.20?

Re: [asterisk-users] Passing Variables to Voicemail's Email Notification
After rethinking. I'm not sure if this works, but please report back after testing. The idea would be that the CIDNAME should not be in the subject just the ticket number, and the ticket number should not be in the email body just the CIDNAME. Please try the following and report back. exten = _X.,1,Set(BLANKS= );actual 15 spaces, since CIDName on PSTN should never be longer, and should realy be padded with blank spaces. exten = _X.,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERID(name)}${BLANKS:${LEN(${CALLERID(name)})}}) ;the above just pads the CIDNAME with blanks so you know for sure it's at least 15 char long, yes I know if the len of cidname is longer than blanks then blah. exten = _X.,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERID(name):0:15}=TicketNum:1234) ;this makes sure that it is not longer than 15 plus the ticketnumber. exten = _X.,n,Voicemail(blah) In voicemail.conf emailsubject=${VM_CIDNAME:15} If this should work then the subject should be: TicketNum:1234 emailbody=New voicemail from ${VM_CIDNAME:0:15} balh.

While hardware RAID tend to be more reliable, it is not always possible to properly monitor hardware raid in a linux system, unless you write your own code. Consider this: ~# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdb2[2](F) sda2[1] 76139968 blocks [2/1] [_U] unused devices: none The above is from an active system that one hdd failed.

Please try the following and report back. exten = _X.,1,Set(BLANKS= );actual 15 spaces, since CIDName on PSTN should never be longer, and should realy be padded with blank spaces. exten = _X.,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERID(name)}${BLANKS:${LEN(${CALLERID(name)})}}) ;the above just pads the CIDNAME with blanks so you know for sure it's at least 15 char long, yes I know if the len of cidname is longer than blanks then blah. exten = _X.,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERID(name):0:15}=TicketNum:1234) ;this makes sure that it is not longer than 15 plus the ticketnumber. exten = _X.,n,Voicemail(blah) In voicemail.conf emailsubject=${VM_CIDNAME:15} If this should work then the subject should be: TicketNum:1234 emailbody=New voicemail from ${VM_CIDNAME:0:15} balh. Again, I'm not sure this will work, please test and report back.

Change CALLERID(name) to your ticket number and then use VM_CIDNAME in the subject line. If you don't want to lose the original CIDNAME then just add your ticket number like this: Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERID(name)} TICKETNUMBER:12345) On 8/20/07, 0xception [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a way, other then recoding the entire voicemail application, to pass dialplan variables to the voicemail application and to the email notifications of new voicemail. For example in our small tech support queue i would like to pass the ticket number with the email notification that a new support voicemail was left. I've tried simply replacing the ${VM_WHATEVER} w/ the actual variable name inside the voicemail.conf file, I've also tried setting the VM variables directly before the voicemail application call in the dial plan... both of these fail. Anyone else know of another way? ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] compatibility of PRI Two B channel transfers TBTC/2BTC
Hello, A client has asked for Two B channel Transfer capability (known as TBCT or 2BCT, similar to other features such as ECT, RTL and Q,SIG Path Replacement) in a new Asterisk system and so I researched the capability and came up with quite a few gaps in documentation. From what I've gathered, the official Digium statement is that is works with DMS100 only, and only in Asterisk 1.4.X : http://kb.digium.com/entry/26/140/ Although in a bugtracker posting with a patch from over two years ago, Matt Fredrickson from Digium says that it works with 5ESS under Asterisk 1.2.X: http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=3554 There are also bounties and claims of this feature working on NI2 protocol(although no patches posted) on the voip-info.org Wiki: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+bounty+PRI+2B+channel+transfer+for+NI2+PRI+line http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk%20bounty%20PRI%202B%20channel%20transfer As for actually using this feature, you apparently need to add the following lines to the zapata.conf section that you want to be able to use 2BCT: facilityenable = yes transfer=yes To execute the transfer, you need to use the Transfer cmd within Asterisk: http://voipinfo.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Transfer And according to this post, you can only do 2BCT transfers if the first call is inbound: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg25131.html Does 2BCT work with DMS100 and 5ESS right now? Are there people using this in production right now that can shed some more light on exactly how they are using it, and executing the transfers? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, MATT--- ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

While we're on the subject of silly but fun dialplan bits, check out my TV remote extension. When I moved a few months ago, there was a while when I couldn't find the wireless keyboard that I usually use as my TV remote to control MythTV. So, I built dialplan so I could use a wireless phone as my remote, instead. The dialplan reads digits from the phone and sends the correct commands to a MythTV network control interface for the frontend application. I posted my tested .conf version and the untested AEL version to the MythTV wiki. The AEL version would probably be prettier with macros, now that I think of it ... http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Controlling_MythTV_from_any_phone_using_Asterisk -- Russell Bryant Software Engineer Digium, Inc. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
