[asterisk-users] OT - How to script softphone installation

2007-09-01 Thread Olivier
Hello,

Before diving into this, I would like to gather your opinion about the
capability of software such as http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page to used
to automate softphone installation on Windows platforms.

Is it possible to use this to push softphone installations and
uninstallations ?
Is it a long process to hide a specific softphone installation process into
an NSIS controlled one ?

Ideas are welcome.

regards

[asterisk-users] Escape characer for Digit Timeout

2007-09-01 Thread Giuffredi
Hi *,

 

I hope this is not a FAQ, but I couldn't find any solution until now.

 

I need to set an escape character to stop digits timeout to let phone calls
start immediately.

Something like '*'.

 

 

I saw that in many SIP phones it is possible to set timeout and escape
character and the most have a send button.

But in an analog phone connected to a Digium TDM?

 

 

I looked forward in zapata.conf or zaptel.cong but I couldn't manage to find
anything.

 

Has anyone an idea?

 

Ciao.

I am new to the whole controlling devices in your home from asterisk. Can
anyone give me a URL to devices that I can connect to my box that can then
connect to the lights, security system, TV etc ? This is a whole new area
for me to play and get lots of sleepless nights ;) 

X10 control (Send data control signals over house wiring)
I use an X10 Firecracker (CM17A) interface
http://www.smarthome.com/1141.html which is a little radio transmitter the
size of a DB9 shell and plugs into a serial port. The software that comes
with it is for Windows and is very lame. However, there is a unix tool
called bottlerocket which is a command line utility
http://www.linuxha.com/bottlerocket/ to control the device.

There are some smarter devices but that infers programming them within
their constraints/user memory/etc. The command line one seems to work real
well for me because the computer is far more capable than the other
intelligent devices given the time to program it correctly. I have some
code to calculate sunset so all my timings are relative to the correct
sunset time so there is no altering for time of year or DST.

This device can also send signals to more than one house code as I have
two receivers. One for the lights  stuff, and another for the sprinkler
system. They don't make the one I have anymore, but here is a link to some
others http://www.smarthomeusa.com/Shop/wgl-irrigation// 

X10 Warning: Read up on the technology. There are some controllers that are
BI-DIRECTIONAL which means the receiving device will tell you what it
did/what its status is rather than assuming it did what you asked it. X10
can have difficulty sending to some devices depending on which side (leg) of
the power circuit you are on. (There are bridges to fix this problem too).
X10 themselves also make some of the ugliest wall switches I have every
seen. Leviton make x10 switches that are _really_ attractive (spouse
friendly in your decor). They also work _much_ better with more consistent
(virtually perfect) control. A much more professional system but be prepared
to pay for the wife-approved model. Depending on features some of the
Leviton versions are well over $100.

X10 is also being replaced by a newer technology called Insteon. Don't have
any of these devices yet but it looks like X10 version 2.0 and is backward
compatible.



Manual wired versions
You can also get I/O interface boards for your PC which typically plug into
a serial port and provide signalling to turn on/off many outputs with
varying voltage/load characteristics like this
http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=20

PIC/Basic Stamp
http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/products/basicstamps/basic_stamps.asp
There are other intelligent devices like the PICs from Parallax called Basic
Stamp modules. These are little computers designed specifically for I/O
control type tasks. This is roughly the kind of little computers you might
find in you microwave, etc. Only these ones are designed with an open-ended
consumer programmable interface for creating general purpose devices. (These
little guys also support a neat mode where you can create a master/slave
network of many of them kinda like an RS485 industrial control bus. That
means only one of these devices needs to connect to your PC but you could
control hundreds of these in robotic control or data acquisition type
scenarios.

This is only the tip of the iceberg and I am certainly not the authority on
this. But take a look at some of the links and let your imagination run
wild. This is what got my daughter interested in programming. When she saw
that you could get outside of the box and control real-world stuff from
actions on the computer she was hooked.

Re: [asterisk-users] How to handle + prefix

2007-09-01 Thread SIP
Actually, when someone asked a legitimate question about how to account 
for a + sign, you jumped into the thread saying that such things were 
useless and that people should just learn how to dial 011 since that's 
all a plus sign means.  When it was pointed out that it IS, in fact, a 
legitimate concern, and that there are many situations in which 
accounting for a + being dialed are advantageous, you come back with a 
statement about how that's outside the US, so you're not concerned with 
that.

For someone who reads offense into pretty unoffensive posts, your 
attitude is pretty offensive. If you had nothing worthwhile to add to 
the thread other than statements about how people outside the US do 
things you don't understand and don't care about, then perhaps it would 
have been a good idea just to stay quiet.

Re: [asterisk-users] phone as control interface (was 99 bottles of beer)

2007-09-01 Thread Jon Pounder
Quoting Steve Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

I'm using phidgets (www.phidgets.com)

There are various sorts of them out there.

I prewired the house with relays controlling every light, outlet,  
etc., and just hard wired them to low voltage switches initially, but  
all the control loops come back to the control room. now I am in the  
process of making every switch an input and every relay an output and  
breaking the actual hard wired loops.

Right now the plan is a distributed system using nslu2's and several  
usb modules as controllers spread around. Normally they would take  
direction from a central box with a database for logging, playback  
etc, and a web interface. I am trying to figure out a good way though  
for them to fall back into dumb mode and be able to operate  
autonomously if the master controller is unavailable.

I am also using 1wire sensors from dallas semiconductor for  
temperature sensing, and they adapt onto the usb bus - see owfs and  
other open source software to use them.

 Hi,

 I thought I'd give a follow up to this discussion for the archives...

 Currently I'm trunking 30 channels of g.729 traffic (no transcoding going
 on, the call comes in and goes out as g.729) and it takes about 350 kbps
 bandwith bidirectional.

 So on average each call takes 11.5 - 12 kbps of bandwith. The solution
 seems stable and the QoS is identical... so for the price (2 commodity
 PCs...), IAX2 trunking is well worth the effort since it reduces bandwith
 usage by a factor of 2.

 Cheers,

This is a common issue for Mandrake/Mandriva users.  I'm sure there is a

I think the more correct fix is to edit the name of the kernel and 
remove the custom before compiling it.

I rename all of my custom kernels but never played with this in Mandrake.

 I still don't understand what you mean by this. Something has to
 load the RAID engine, and if the RAID engine is sitting on root
 partition which is on the mirror, then it's not going to work.
 
 Are you saying that this only works on disks that do not contain the
 root partition?

It is mirrored. This means both disks are exactly the same. Towards
the end of the kernel starting up, it goes through finding all the
gmirror disk devices etc. The raid information is contained at the
end of device.

  No, unfortunately you can't use variables as part of the extension

 Since when?  I knew you couldn't use them for pattern matches but in  
 1.2 you could at one point I tested this personally.

Brian's right. But, the variable has to be a global, and is evaluated at
the time the extensions.conf file is read in; so, really, it's a
constant, and isn't evaluated at all at dial time. So, if you do one of
those dialplan show things, you'll see that the variable has been
substituted. Just had to fix a bug where AEL didn't provide the same

I used app_conference last year, debugged some problems with voice

result:

http://www.moythreads.com/app-conference-ast-1.2.12.1-nov-6-2006.tar.bz2

I reported the problem to iaxclient-devel mailing list, as noted here:

But never got response, not sure if is still under development.

Right now iLBC voice frames will not work, sound will be choppy, I
have not had the time/skills to fix it.

 Upon further examination, it looks like pbx_ael is missing. Is this a

If you can trace this down to something for which we are responsible,
please let us know via a bug report. As far as I know, AEL in 1.2 is
still there. I can't even begin to guess what the problem might be; I

Are you sure?

I suspect a:

  modinfo ./zaptel.ko

would show that the kernel version string there is 2.6.8.1-12mdkcustom
and hence it won't load.

I suspect that Steve's advice is generally correct. I just wonder if
there's a more striahgt-forward way on Mandrake, or if they give a
different kernel version on purpuse in case you decide to rebuild the
kernel.

You have not replied to my other questions (what kernel source / headers

Software RAID1 on FreeBSD is way simpler, robust, and easier to work

 /The latest industry-standard Intelligent Platform Management Interface
 (IPMI) 2.0 Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) allows remote,
 out-of-band management over a network or serial connection with any
 industry-standard IPMI management program.

 /I will play with this feature a bit before investing in KVMoIP.

 Thanks,
 Steve Totaro


 Steve,
 You have a point but you can't cycle the power with KVM over VOIP. The DC 
 is
 staffed 24/7 but it takes time till they pick up, reboot the server etc.
 Also who wants to pay them to format a box if I can do it remotely ;)


 That is why I have web switches. Pricey for what they do but well worth
 it when you need it, plus they are very well constructed.

Why work with two separate devices when you can have one ? And yes the DC is 
staffed 24/7 but do you want to call them every time you need a new CD/DVD 
inserted in to the box when you are working on it ? IMHO A rac card + a 
better server is worth it than going with the SC series.
