[asterisk-users] Asterisk freezes with Fixup failed on channel SIP/...MASQ
On a production system, running 1.4.17 (compiled from bristuff-0.4.0-test6-xr1) we had this strange issue two times in the last weeks: [2009-01-13 13:58:30] WARNING[1213] channel.c: Fixup failed on channel SIP/2332-081d0108MASQ, strange things may happen.

The phones that show up in the ERROR messages are in a group call made by a Dial(Local/...Local.../Local/...) construct. But other SIP phones were affected as well. It seemed like the whole chan_sip module became stuck. I also could not unload chan_sip.so, but can't remeber the exact error message it gave. The only thing that was left was to restart Asterisk. Can someone give me some clue what the 'Fixup failed ...' and 'masquerade' warnings actually mean? Any help appreciated.

2009/1/22 Laurent Bonny laurent.bo...@gmail.com Hello, I am trying to connect an asterisk 1.6 to a trunking plate forme. With asterisk 1.4.x I added to sip.conf a line asking for registration in the form of: register = xx...@domain.com:Password:xx...@domain.comassword%3axx...@domain.com @domain.com Unfortunately, as you can see, my usernames have to be of the form xxx...@domain.com which means that I had to put 2 @ at the end of my line, 1 for the username and 1 for the domain. In Asterisk 1.6 it doesn't seems to work anymore the @ being a reserved sign, and something like this line being impossible. Is it a bug from asterisk (as I don't see why I couldn't have a username in this form)? Would you know of a way to register my users correctly?

[asterisk-users] Which policy for ISDN BRI support in NT/PtMP ?
Hi, As you may know, these ISDN BRI features are very important here in Europe as ISDN Basic Rate Access is very popular among Small Medium Entreprises. I don't really know why but it seems that in many countries, default is to install small PBX using Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) mode as opposed to Point-to-Point (PtP) which is the norm for PRI. So basically, in several countries, SME are equipped today with PBX connected with TE/PtMP interfaces to telco BRI lines. When we address those SME, my opinion is that it's very useful to be able to support any combination of TE/NT, PtP/PtMP modes. Latest 1.6 Asterisk and 1.4.8 Libpri introduced a new set of welcomed ISDN BRI features. Unfortunately, NT/PtMP is not available at this time, in latest Zaptel/Asterisk/Libpri. My question is what is the policy concerning NT/PtMP ? Is it really hard to extend Libpri to support this mode ? Or shall mISDN remain the way to go when NT/PtMP is needed ?

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk freezes with Fixup failed on channel SIP/...MASQ
Copy paste from freeswitch.org Asterisk uses a modular design where a central core loads shared objects to extend the functionality with bits of code known as modules. Modules are used to implement specific protocols such as SIP, add applications such as custom IVRs and tie in other external interfaces such as the Manager Interface. The core of Asterisk is a threading model but a very conservative one. Only origination channels and channels executing an application have threads. The B leg of any call operate only within the same thread as the A leg and when something happens like a call transfer the channel must first be transferred to a threaded mode which often times includes a practice called channel masquerade, a process where all the internals of a channel are torn from one dynamic memory object and placed into another. A practice that was once described in the code comments as being nasty. The same went for the opposite operation the thread was discarded by cloning the channel and letting the original hang-up which also required hacking the cdr structure to avoid seeing it as a new call. One will often see 3 or 4 channels up for a single call during a call transfer because of this. /* XXX This is a seriously wacked out operation. We're essentially putting the guts of the clone channel into the original channel. Start by killing off the original channel's backend. I'm not sure we're going to keep this function, because while the features are nice, the cost is very high in terms of pure nastiness. XXX */ This became the de facto way to pull a channel out of the grips of another thread and the source of many headaches for application developers. This uncertain threading scheme was one of the motivating factors for a rewrite. Asterisk uses linked-lists to manage its open channels. A linked-list is a series of dynamic memory chained together by using a structure that has a pointer to its own type as one of the members allowing you to endlessly chain objects and keep track of them. They are indeed a useful programming practice but when used in a threaded application become very difficult to manage. One must use mutexes, a kind of traffic light for threads to make sure only 1 thread ever has write access to the list or you risk one thread tearing a link out of a list while another is traversing it. This also leads to horrible situations where one thread may be destroying or masquerading a channel while another is accessing it which will result in a Segmentation Fault which is a fatal error in the program and causes it to instantly halt which, of course means in most cases all your calls will be lost. We've all seen the infamous Avoiding initial deadlock message which essentially is an attempt to lock a channel 10 times and if still won't lock, just go ahead and forget about the lock. 2009/1/24 Udo Schacht-Wiegand aster...@wiegand.name On a production system, running 1.4.17 (compiled from bristuff-0.4.0-test6-xr1) we had this strange issue two times in the last weeks: [2009-01-13 13:58:30] WARNING[1213] channel.c: Fixup failed on channel SIP/2332-081d0108MASQ, strange things may happen.

[asterisk-users] Reading/Writing the Astdb
All; I have a question regarding the Astdb. When reading more than a few values, it can take quite a while to grab several values in the astdb using say, asterisk -rx database show output.txt and work with that and then set a new value such as asterisk -rx database put $key $value. The whole process can take over 1 second for EACH ENTRY which adds up for more than a few keys. What I do now is dump the entire Astdb using db_dump185 in about 0.003 ms, and then read the entire Astdb output as a hash and then manipulate key, value pairs that way. The entire process will take me less than 0.020 ms total. My problem is this. I am unable to find a corresponding way of doing this in reverse. That is, I do not have a corresponding way to write the new values back to the Astdb. The most obvious way of writing to the Astdb is by using PERL's DB_File. I tried compiling DB_File using the Berkeley 1.85 lib and header to no avail. I've had no luck with db_load either. Any insight at all to write many values to the Astdb quickly would be greatly appreciated. Regards; _ Windows Live™: E-mail. Chat. Share.

Hey Olivier, I actually was the one that did a lot the work in adding the BRI support to libpri/chan_dahdi. NT PTMP is very significantly different, in that you have to do much more from a TEI management perspective. Most people's needs that I saw were actually fulfilled in using either NT or TE PTP or TE PTMP, since they were interfacing with PBXs or using TE-PTMP trunks from the telephone network to provide voice trunks for Asterisk. Right now, I would not preclude the possibility that NT-PTMP support might be added, but I could not give you a concrete time at which it will be done, since it will probably require some significant internal changes in libpri. To answer your final question, for now, if you need NT-PTMP mode, you should use mISDN.

Re: [asterisk-users] NAT router for Linux
If you set the 'bindaddr' to your private IP address, the Gtalk connection from your Asterisk server to my Gtalk client (running on Windows) works fine. That's at least what we've tested together Julien, right? If the STUN packets are properly exchanged between Asterisk and the Gtalk client you're trying to communicate with, there should not be any problem. The thing is that you and I did not test the Asterisk - NAT box - Internet - NAT -box - Gtalk client since my Gtalk client had a public IP. I don't advise you to purchase a NAT router to test this scenario though. Philippe On Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 6:32 PM, Julien Claassen jul...@c-lab.de wrote: Hello everyone!

Hi List; If any one faced the following problem and can help me: My zaptel version is: 1.4.10.1 My asterisk version is: 1.4.19.1 OS: Fedora core 8 I used make config for the initialization script. Now, sometimes when the hardware restarted, we discovered that no tone in the handset connected to the fxs ports. And sometimes it work normally, no rule. To resolve it, I stop asterisk and then I type modprob -r wctdm and then I restart the machine using init 6 , and sometimes it come up and somtimes I repeat this twice to come up, so what could be the issue? I know that make config is making a problem, but could it be my problem related to using make config? So I have to write the init script? If yes, I need a link to know how to write the init script manually for my digium and other cards, I do not know what is the needed lines need to be added. Also, could it be a bug related to zaptel driver so I have to download new drivers? Actually, I would like to hear if anyone face this problem and how he resolved it, so I can move based on that.

I run chan_sccp at home. It works well, supports the park function, but does not make use of the conference button. I haven't used the chan_skinny, so I don't know how it compares. With chan_sccp, if you make a change to the configuration, you need to reload the module, thus taking down all phones running sccp. That's fine if there are only a couple of phones, but would be a problem if it is a big office.

Re: [asterisk-users] NAT router for Linux
The short answer to your question--assuming it is the right question to be asking--is that Linux comes with a built-in NAT infrastructure as part of its packet filter (netfilter). The utility iptables is used to manage it. Simple example: echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE Julien Claassen wrote: I'm using gtalk.

Re: [asterisk-users] NAT router for Linux
No, your setup is not unusual for a client. If you are not happy with your router, you can set it to Ethernet bridge mode (if it's DSL over ATM transport, that's RFC1483). Then your PC behind it can hold the public Layer 3 interface, but the DSL modem will still do the ATM/G.DMT stuff. Julien Claassen wrote: I'm not completely sure about the things my router can do.

[asterisk-users] Dahdi Init script for Suse?
Anyone by chance got an Init script for /etc/init.d/dahdi on a SLES 10 box that'll work right? The one included by default only deals with debian and redhat, and the changes between the old zaptel script I have that works are far too invasive. Notably in the use of this action command that's probably redhat specific. There's practically zilch on google on the matter. I think suse support should be included by default, though.

Re: [asterisk-users] Passing DTMF
Hello: Yes, DTMF can be a problem on the phones themselves as Sam observed, and inband can help with this in certain situations. I have DTMF working internally in my pbx just fine though. The problem here is transmitting dtmf from my pbx through a carrier to a party who has phoned into my pbx through that carrier. I have this working on VoicePulse but only about 75% of the time. VoicePulse has indicated to me via Support that they know this is a flaw in their system and someday they plan to fix it, but no commitment about when. So my question is: Does anybody know of a carrier who handles DTMF correctly, particularly in situations where my pbx is called externally? Thanks.

Neither can do this, and VoicePulse indicates they know it's a problem and will fix it at some unknown time in the future. For the curious, here is the reason for the need. My wife, who works as a translator, will use this extension to receive calls from companies needing translation. When she receives such a call, step 1 for her is to enter an employee id code. At the end of the call, she must enter an additional code to receive an ending time. Vitelity can't do this at all. VoicePulse works about 75% of the time which is not acceptable.

Best regards, Marco Signorini. == INGEGNI Tech S.r.l. http://www.ingegnitech.com Anyone by chance got an Init script for /etc/init.d/dahdi on a SLES 10 box that'll work right? The one included by default only deals with debian and redhat, and the changes between the old zaptel script I have that works are far too invasive. Notably in the use of this action command that's probably redhat specific. There's practically zilch on google on the matter. I think suse support should be included by default, though.

You're talking about openSUSE. Are you using the rpm's from the OBS? The zaptel-rpm for 10.3 were containing the proper startup scripts. I've got some suse machines running asterisk, but as soon as hw get's involved, i'm stuck: neither pri, nor bri (mISDN) seems to be working on anything later than 10.3.

[asterisk-users] monitoring SIP connection
with dahdi I can monitor hardware cards with dahdi show status. I can then tell if a T1/PRI card goes into condition RED. When I have a VOIP/SIP connection to lets say Call Manager how can I monitor this connection? Today I suddenly started getting 503 service not available messages when trying to use CCM to place a call. It would have been nice to know ahead of time when something changed and I could no longer make calls. sip show peers did not report anything wrong either. How can I monitor a SIP connection?

[asterisk-users] Choppy Sound On Bridging From SIP-IAX
I am experiencing choppy sound when I bridge from a SIP peer to an IAX peer. I am running Asterisk 1.4.13 on a 2.6.22.9 kernel (Fedora). I am experiencing choppy sound from the SIP peer to the IAX peer but not vice-versa. I know that this is not a bandwidth issue because I don't have choppy sound (with the same codec) when bridging IAX-IAX peers or SIP-SIP peers. My timing source is ztdummy.

Re: [asterisk-users] Passing DTMF
Christopher, did you receive the email that I sent to your yesterday? It was delivered Jan 23 20:47:31 -0600. Maybe it went to your junk box.. I will try again. Sam Christopher Gray wrote: Hello: Yes, DTMF can be a problem on the phones themselves as Sam observed, and inband can help with this in certain situations. I have DTMF working internally in my pbx just fine though. The problem here is transmitting dtmf from my pbx through a carrier to a party who has phoned into my pbx through that carrier. I have this working on VoicePulse but only about 75% of the time. VoicePulse has indicated to me via Support that they know this is a flaw in their system and someday they plan to fix it, but no commitment about when. So my question is: Does anybody know of a carrier who handles DTMF correctly, particularly in situations where my pbx is called externally? Thanks.

The standard things to help with this have been done as far as I know: 1. dtmfmode is rfc2833. 2. The phones themselves are set to rfc2833. 3. allow=ulaw 4. On internal calls between extensions, touchtone works fine. Also, I have reviewed sip.conf with my carriers. Now for the question: does anybody know of a carrier that can reliably allow an extension in my pbx to send touchtone to a calling party? I have tried Vitelity and VoicePulse. Neither can do this, and VoicePulse indicates they know it's a problem and will fix it at some unknown time in the future. For the curious, here is the reason for the need. My wife, who works as a translator, will use this extension to receive calls from companies needing translation. When she receives such a call, step 1 for her is to enter an employee id code. At the end of the call, she must enter an additional code to receive an ending time. Vitelity can't do this at all. VoicePulse works about 75% of the time which is not acceptable.

[asterisk-users] Trying to do a transfer in agi
Hey, I am trying to work through a use case requirement where a user listens to a some advertisement and then if at the end off it they press a key they press a 1 key they get transfered to a pre-defined number. I am using the asterisk java library at http://asterisk-java.org/ . I was able to originate the call easily by doing a String channel=SIP/ + phoneNumber + @+getSipPeer(); this.getAsteriskServer().originateToExtension(channel, getContext(), getExtension(), getPriority(), getTimeout(), getCallerId(), vars); my extensions.conf file has this defined in it exten = 9001,1,Agi(agi://127.0.0.1:4573/${campaign}.agi?campaign=$ {campaign}) A fast AGI script is then called and I can play the media. My first option was at the end of the script to set the extension to continue at 9002 channel.setContext(davidtest); channel.setExtension(9002); channel.setPriority(1); exten = 9002,1,Transfer(SIP/${campaignnumb...@ser1) When I tried this I got the following in the logs and the call would be dropped. [Jan 8 23:33:35] VERBOSE[16163] logger.c: --- (8 headers 0 lines) --- [Jan 8 23:33:39] VERBOSE[16163] logger.c: --- SIP read from 10.128.181.23:5060 --- SIP/2.0 403 Forbidden^M Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 209.34.91.75 :5060;received=10.128.181.21;branch=z9hG4bK6937f2b6;rport=5060^M From: companyname sip:+1415...@209.34.91.75;tag=as1e339e25^M To: sip:415...@209.34.91.74;tag=gK028a94eb^M Call-ID: 4b07e5ef5f04f5dc40ce7d6b4b002...@209.34.91.75^m CSeq: 103 REFER^M Content-Length: 0^Mites I did try to execute the Transfer command directly in the Fast AGI script. The call would not drop but it did not connect. I saw no errors in the logs. int reply = channel.exec(Transfer, SIP/415...@ser1); I am new to Asterisk and VOIP so any help would be appreciated, cheers, David ___ -- 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
