[asterisk-users] Calling Party Category Field

2007-12-16 Thread Carlos Chavez
 For the past month I've been having trouble dialing certain numbers.  We
have Asterisk 1.4.14, Zaptel 1.4.7, Libpri 1.4.2 on a CentOS 5 server.  We are
using PRI on a TE110P card /etcwith a provider called Alestra in Monterrey,
Mexico.

 There are some numbers that whenever we dial them we always get a busy
tone.  These numbers do not all belong to the same provider, but they all do
not belong to Alestra.  In the CLI Asterisk says that the number is not
available, like the number does not exist.  After some testing the provider
has told us that the problem is on our side and gave this explanation:

Whenever we dial one of those numbers Asterisk is sending the following:

52 Calling Party Category Field 0x00

When it should be sending:

52 Calling Party Category Field 0x0a

As they explain it our server is sending the wrong signal and that is causing
the other side to drop the call.  Where can I check on this?  Is it possible
to change this behavior?  Here is the relevant part of the config:

/etc/zaptel.conf
# Span 1: WCT1/0 Digium Wildcard TE110P T1/E1 Card 0 

span=1,0,0,ccs,hdb3 #,crc4
bchan=1-15
dchan=16
bchan=17-31
loadzone = mx
defaultzone=mx

/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf

accountcode=Alestra
group=1
switchtype=euroisdn
callerid=asreceived
signalling=pri_cpe
pridialplan=unknown
faxdetect=both
channel=1-15,17-31

 Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Whatever, but don't call it array(). I was so excited when I saw 
there was a new function called array because some part of my dial

Re: [asterisk-users] Newbie question: how to proxy the *real* caller-id on find-me/follow-me

 I've got the following set up:
 
 Someone calls into my PBX on a single number (via SIP trunk from my 
 carrier), and the get a voice menu of extensions.
 
 On one of the extensions, it rings a bunch of internal SIP hardphones, 
 plus ringing my cellphone via a hairpin through the cairrier's SIP/PSTN 
 gateway.
 
 The issue is that my cellphone shows my PBX's number, not the original 
 calling number.

This topic has been covered in length. In most cases it seems to end at
the fact that providers correct caller-ids they get from the calling
party: If you send any number which is assigned to the PRI (or SIP
trunk), that is fine; if you send another number, it will be changed to
the (first) number of the PRI/trunk.

Few providers allow for foreign caller ids to be sent over their
equipment - in some countries this is even illegal.

For example, one of my providers (German) allows to set any CALLERID,
but their documentation warns to not do stupid tricks, as calls can be
tracked and using malicious information will be prosecuted. This feature
is to be used only for sending _my_ cell phone number etc.

Re: [asterisk-users] Upgrade to Asterisk 1.4 - it's one year's old!

2007-12-16 Thread Duncan Turnbull
We build and maintain 7 Asterisk boxes for our customers, I have 
recently moved 3 to 1.4. I also use iaxmodem and on the last one 1.4.14 
I was getting iax thread errors - which was reported as a bug in much 
earlier versions but apparently fixed.  When 1.4.15 came out (two days 
later) it solved this problem, for me at least. I didn't dig any further 
but it did moderate my confidence somewhat.

We run everything on ubuntu server 6.06 LTS and also use freepbx as the 
interface with some minor customisations. It works very well and we are 
now shifting some others to 1.4 but the issue is if anything goes wrong 
its too costly to fix, as part of maintenance we keep them uptodate. The 
main blocker for 1.4 was freepbx but now it supports 1.4 and seems to 
manage the transition really well.

However being a small self employed group of two the main reason to 
stick with what works is the risk of cost. We don't generally do major 
upgrades without charging but there isn't any seriously missing 
functionality yet, and the effort involved to be sure it will be hassle 
free is significant. The clients have to see value in the upgrade.

We also work with people still on version 1.0, because the risk of 
change to a working system is too high

This seems to be the same issue already mentioned but my take on it is 
most people can't cope with any risk on production machines unless there 
is some significant gain. Its been a year now, generally I would think 
that means its probably starting to become stable but a year isn't very 
long really. Give it another year and the new installs will mostly be 
1.4 and the migration process will be a lot more trusted. I don't think 
a year is really long enough to expect much more than where you are at. 
The debian stable, unstable, and testing model would be useful here, 
debian stable is so reliable it just rocks, if there was a version like 
that it would be fantastic (of course you trade access to the latest 
features for it) . We find ubuntu server a great balance between debian 
stability and getting the latest options.

Is there a performance analysis of 1.2 vs 1.4 around or a clear business 
analysis of the distinctions in value for each?

Cheers Duncan

Our policy is to never remove any functionality between two versions.  
We replace the functionality with new functionality and print out  
warnings whenever you use the deprecated functions. We also add this  
to the documenation in the software and the UPGRADE.TXT file. So the  
functionality that you lost in 1.4 was old 1.0 functions that was  
marked as deprecated in 1.2 and removed in 1.4.

We might want to be more informative about those changes. We need to  
make a clear list of things you need to start changing as a user of  
1.4 to prepare for lost functionality in 1.6. This information already  
exist, but should maybe be a bit more public.

In some cases we do have to change in a dramatic way and can't  
preserve the old functionality to solve a bug in the software. This  
requires thorough discussion in the developer group and is something  
we really want to avoid at all costs. If this happens, it's clearly  
documented in the software.

Thank you for your feedback, it's important to us.

 Along that this same line, I ran 1.0.something for a long time and it 
 was working just fine for my SOHO.  I had a channel bank to interface 
 pots lines from the local Telco and feed the analog phones in the 
 house.  Over time, I replaced most of those analog phones with SIP phones.

 An unfortunate incident caused us to lose that server and several sip 
 phones.  When I recovered enough to rebuild *, I tried 1.4 and it 
 would not compile completely and zaptel did not load properly.  I 
 download 1.2 and it worked with the same configs as 1.0, but the 
 quality was poor.  That was due to hardware issues.

 I purchased a new motherboard and rebuilt using a newer Asterisk 1.4 
 with the then current libpri and zaptel and the call quality came 
 back.  But I had a hard time with syntax changes.  Basically I was 
 jumping from 1.0.x to 1.4.x in one leap.

 My biggest gripe is that everything loaded and seemed to work.  A day 
 later we found this did not work and discovered a syntax change.  A 
 day later something else did not work, an other syntax change.  Why 
 isn't there some pre-processor to check the syntax of the config 
 files?  Would have saved me a whole bunch of time I didn't have to 
 spare and still don't.

I could not agree more strongly.

The big question is what such a language should look like. The SIP
Express Router language is not the solution either, it is way too low

better -- unfortunately the XML makes it hard to read.

Perhaps the best idea would be to use an existing programming

 It is very easy to miss that deprecation warning, since it occurs so few
 times.  Of course, the opposite side is that we don't want deprecation
 warnings to fill up your logs, so there's a balancing act here.  But we could
 probably do with making the deprecation warnings a bit more prominent
 and print them multiple times (for example, every 10th usage).  That should
 make it more clear that there's something to change.

How about an asterisk-lint kind of program,
That analyses all of the config files, and gves an error with file-name

I missed that fact. Yes, FreePBX support is an important piece of the  
puzzle.

 upgrades without charging but there isn't any seriously missing

Absolutely. And we don't want to force upgrades, as an Open Source
project there's no value in that. But at some point we want to quit
supporting these old installations from the project side and move
on.


 We also work with people still on version 1.0, because the risk of
 change to a working system is too high
...and if it works, why change?

 This seems to be the same issue already mentioned but my take on it is
 most people can't cope with any risk on production machines unless

Guess we're learning that for a PBX, we have to look into a longer
upgrade path, but a quicker uptake on new installations. That's really
what we look for.

In the case that something else changes and the customer needs to
upgrade, we want it to be as smooth as possible.

 Is there a performance analysis of 1.2 vs 1.4 around or a clear  
 business
 analysis of the distinctions in value for each?
I haven't seen that. Anyone else?

Again, thanks for valuable feedback! I am learning a lot from this
discussion.

 For example, one of my providers (German) allows to set any CALLERID,
 but their documentation warns to not do stupid tricks, as calls can be
 tracked and using malicious information will be prosecuted. This feature
 is to be used only for sending _my_ cell phone number etc.

Do you know of any GSM providers/contracts where faking

Re: [asterisk-users] Upgrade to Asterisk 1.4 - it's one year's old!

The only reason I am not upgrading to 1.4 is because out-of-the-tar it just
won't build on my Fedora Core 4 machine.

 Subject: [asterisk-users] Upgrade to Asterisk 1.4 - it's one 
 year's old!
 
 Friends in the Asterisk community,
 
 I'm kind of interested in the slow uptake of Asterisk 1.4. 
 Between 1.2 and 1.4 there's been a lot of important 
 development. New code cleanups, optimization, new functions.
 
 I realize that 1.4 at release time wasn't ready for release, 
 but we've spent one year polishing it, working hard with bug 
 fixes. The 1.4 that is in distribution now is very different 
 from the young and immature product that was release before 
 Christmas in 2006.  
 Testing, testing, testing
 and hard work from developers has changed this and the 1.4 
 personality is now much more grown-up and mature :-)
 
 I wonder if there are any major obstacles for upgrading.
 
 - Bugs that are still open?
 - Bugs that are not reported?
 - Not enough reasons to upgrade, since 1.2 really works well
 - Just a bad karma for 1.4
 
 When responding, remember that we don't add new features to 
 1.4 after release, so I'm not looking for a wishlist - that's 
 for the coming release. We need to make a released product 
 stable, not add new features and potential scary bugs.
 
 Success stories with 1.4 are also welcome. Upgrading to 1.4 
 doubled our revenues in a month and gave us 200% more quality 
 in the voice channels or Asterisk 1.4 gave us more reliable 
 pizza deliveries and also fixed the bad taste of the coffee 
 in our vending machine. Anything.
 
 Also, I would like input on what you consider the most 
 important new feature in 1.4.
 I will try to make a list based on the feedback. Feel free to 
 send feedback to the list or in a private e-mail to me directly.
 
 Let's make 1.4 the choice for everyone's PBX - from small 
 home systems to large scale carrier platforms!

I wouldn't say all of it, but it would be a lot easier if people paid

point of deprecating methods is to allow people a transitional period
in which they stop using said method and move to its replacement.

 they don't want to support a feature that is outside the scope of what
 they want  to maintain. I thought this was an open source project that
 would allow participants to have a voice in what is or isn't included in
 a new release. Even an non developing end user provides valuable benefit
 to the project in QA and bug information to improve the project as a
 whole. Most  (With exceptions) projects have a bit more interest in what
 the user community wants or needs  in a  package. The attitude of this
 project seems to be  If you want it code it yourself, however if it
 something that doesn't map to the ideas of what Digium wants then it
 will never make it into the official release.

Digium is a company; it does not want anything.  The developers of
the project, of which Digium has sponsored a great many, most of whom
were developers prior to being employed by Digium, get to make those
types of calls.  Do you see the distinction?  One of the nice things about
working for Digium is that I maintain my individual perspective as a
developer; we do not engage in groupthink.

 I don't understand why so much community support is placed into the
 project considering that the typical end user is treated like a second
 class citizen.

I can't think of a single software project where the typical end user is
anything but.  Every open source project is not a democracy; they are
meritocracies.  That is, the degree to which your opinion matters is the
degree to which you are able to contribute.  And this isn't just code writers,
either.  People who put forth the effort to document the code also get a
kudos and karma, as do people who report bugs, suggest fixes, and give
feedback on candidate patches.  To a lesser extent, knowledgable users
who help on the various forums and business leaders who sponsor
developers to work on Asterisk also have a greater voice than the typical
end user.

And that's true for closed source, as well.  When was the last time that an
end user asked for and received a new feature from Microsoft?

 So Digium, (I address the company since Tilghman now works for you) do
 you have any plans to query the user community and determine what a
 typical end user of the product needs? With the knowledge and skill that
 exists in  your organization it would seem trivial to put something in
 place to allow user feedback not only developer feedback for release
 direction.

It is extremely insulting for you to try to address my employer, when we're
discussing code practice.  For one thing, the company (though legally a
person) does not generally respond on these lists.  And secondly, as I
mentioned before, all developers maintain their individual perspective, so
when I make points on here, I do so as an individual contributor.  If you have
an issue with the way that I have approached something, then please talk to
me.  Trying to go over my head is rude and unlikely to produce better results.

As far as user feedback, there are multiple forums that exist that will
influence individual developers, to a certain extent, which are the -dev
list (please discuss code or policy, NOT user-level assistance; that's what
this list is for), the #asterisk-dev channel on Freenode (same condition
applies; use #asterisk for user-level questions), and the bugtracker (which
is for reporting bugs, inconsistencies, and other things that relate to
execution, not policy, which should be discussed on the mailing lists).

Of course, if you want your voice heard more loudly, then contribute some
of your efforts towards furthering the project.  Complaints are always heard
more critically when they come from somebody who has made the effort to
give back in some way.

Umm... forgive me for jumping in here, but that bug is for a (now
unsupported) H.323 channel driver in asterisk-addons, with a very simple
Makefile fix (for those users where the channel driver does work), and
isn't actually part of Asterisk 1.4 at all.

In fact, the in-tree H.323 channel driver in Asterisk 1.4 is vastly
improved over the one in Asterisk 1.2 and most users are happy with it
and aren't using chan_ooh323c any longer.

Seen that one on and off. Don't know why this error keeps popping up.
Would be nice if the responsible developer would check if chan_h323
installs after making changes

Iirc the fix For FC7, F8 and CentOS 5 is: change libchan_h323.so.1.0.1
to libchan_h323.1.0.1 in the Makefile(s) in asterisk-ooh323c
(remove the .so part)

Steve,

if you want quality and reliability, then you need to get as close as
you can to the actual big guys operating the equipment, such as
Level3, GlobalCrossing, XO,  CommPartners. But they won't be
interested in doing business with you for just 1 DID and couple
thousand minutes a month. So find yourself a good first-hand reseller
of those big guys who is interested in doing business with you. There
are many out there. We have been getting 90% of our west-coast DIDs
from CommPartners directly, and over the last 3 years, I don't recall
a single indecent when they let us down service. The actual VoIP
service is excellent; billing and paperwork can be messy at times.

Yeah. I need a service that's going to allow multiple channels eventually.
Perhaps 1000 simultaneous calls through one number. I'm just doing my

ds3s for this type of call center setup.

Re: [asterisk-users] Upgrade to Asterisk 1.4 - it's one year's old!

2007-12-16 Thread JR Richardson
I have not made the switch from 1.2 to 1.4 yet due to operating a ITSP
Asterisk Cluster.  I cannot upgrade any one machine without upgrading
all.  Basically I need to build a duplicate cluster with 1.4, debug it
then roll traffic to it.  This is a pretty gargantuan effort that I'm
currently planning and will hopefully accomplish within Jan-Feb 08.
I'm looking forward to the upgrade and having some of the new features
1.4 has like multi threading IAX2.

 When an Asterisk appliance and associated phones can compete with a
 Panasonic KXTG-4000 (or similar) on terms including price, ease of use
  reliabilitythat's when Asterisk for every grandma, aunt, uncle 
 counsins (who never finished high school) will be viable for the
 broader home/residential market.
 

Hmmm - I have to think that the two markets will stay apart for a bit
longer. Asterisk does some things well, some things not so well. And the
same could be said for the Panasonic. The fact that the phones and the
system are still very separate entities makes the break - the older
phone systems are tightly integrated with their phones.

It's back to me dealing with a purchasing manager at one of my old
workplaces, who wanted a small laptop with a big screen.

Re: [asterisk-users] Newbie question: how to proxy the *real* caller-id on find-me/follow-me

 I can think of some...  in rural Idaho, cell coverage is sparse.  I 
 might check my voice mail of my cell phone via a land line, and want to 
 call back with a response originating from my cell number...  Also the 
 case if I have my cell set to forward-on-busy to my land line, or if I'm 
 hosting an answering service, etc.

What I'm looking for is this scenario:
I call someone's cell phone number via my GSM gateway (to
save money). But I'd like to set my landline number as the
callerid (instead of one of the numbers of the GSM gateway
or no callerid).

will cause the case to happen.  Anyone can give me some advice to
solve it?

Re: [asterisk-users] Upgrade to Asterisk 1.4 - it's one year's old!

 Tilghman Lesher wrote:
  If anything broke from the transition from 1.2 to 1.4, it is because you

 After thinking about it for a while this is not true.
 Well, it's true for the dialplan.
 Changing CALLERIDNUM to CALLERID(num) is easy.

 But i guess people use a lot of custom applications built
 around Asterisk 1.2. If any of the interfaces (AGI, AMI,
 CDRs, queue log, ...) change that might break the app.
 Fixing these apps might not be trivial and probably requires
 a lot of fine-tuning.

While that's true, the incompatible changes to AMI, AGI, and other
non-C interfaces should all be documented in UPGRADE.txt, which
users have been asked to read.

Internal C APIs are quite a different matter, of course.  Sometimes the
interface simply must change, even in minor upgrades, in order to fix
bugs.  That is unavoidable.  The best way about this is that if you've written
an app in C, you should genericize it to be useful to others and contribute it
back upstream.  Once it's in Asterisk, you no longer need to worry about
keeping the interfaces in sync -- the developers will do that for you, as an
integral part of the changeset.

[asterisk-users] VoIP service providers/PSTN termination points

2007-12-16 Thread Benjamin Jacob
Hello ppl,

Am looking at some PSTN termination providers in US. If this question 
has been repeated, please point me to the correct link, as I've tried 
searching the archives but have been unsuccesful so far.

I have come across quite a few companies which provide the same, such as :
Iconnecthere http://www.iconnecthere.com
Vonage http://www.vonage.com
Teliax http://www.teliax.com

I found something known as Inphonex http://www.inphonex.com. These had 
the cheapest rates and quite a good coverage too. Anyone with experience 
on this one?
I am looking at a combination of decent prices and good quality.
Any other suggestions or ideas welcome too.

TiA
- Ben.

Re: [asterisk-users] Trixbox Phones Home

2007-12-16 Thread Than Taro

As I pointed out here last night, there is also a very serious security 
vulnerability associated with this.  Example: An attacker could compromise the 
script that is used on the remote host, and set it to force clients that 
connect to run a command such as rm -rf /.  There are about half a dozen ways 
I could see this being abused - in either a one off or an every 
installation scenario.  Fonality has yet to acknowledge this aspect of the 
issue - and I fear that they never will.

See:
http://voipsa.org/pipermail/voipsec_voipsa.org/2007-December/002522.html


P.S.: On behalf of Rob (of FreePBX fame), I'd like to also point out this
this is something that was added to trixbox, and not FreePBX.  Quoting
Rob: when someone mistakenly says 'trixbox does...' they usually mean
'freepbx does...' as FreePBX is the GUI Trixbox uses to configure
Asterisk.  In this instance, that is not the case - it is only a
trixbox issue.
