Re: [asterisk-users] Are the Siren7 and Siren14 the G.722 HD voice codecs?
We should also be very clear that the Siren codecs are supported on the Polycom SoundStation conference phones and the VVX-1500 Business Media Phones. These codecs are not supported in the SoundPoint desk phones. The SoundPoint series support the more basic G.722 codec in the IP335/450/550/560/650/670 models.

These are most often found in Polycom phones, but they are available elsewhere. The only widely supported HD codec is G.722. Pretty much anything offering wideband voice supports G.722. Except skype which only supports SiLK as the HD codec. I mention this because most people's experience with HD will be in a Skype-to-skype call, although admittedly not in this group. That's a very good point, although Skype does support more codecs than just Silk, and I believe G.722 may be one of them. Nonetheless, it is Silk that people have got used to. It offers about 11kHz bandwidth, so it is wider band than G.722. The critical addition than wideband gives over normal telephony is the 5kHz to 7kHz area, where a lot of the energy that allows us to differentiate the unvoiced phoneme lies. The energy between 7kHz to 15kHz does, however, add a lot to the human voice, and allows for a more relaxed listening experience - its just less tiring to listen to.

Definitely check your firewall settings. Definitely consider rebuilding against the libs as they now exist on your machine. CentOS (which are really RedHat) library changes aren't always fully disclosing the things that actually change. The worst example in recent memory was when a CentOS update changed the defaults to sudo, and you had to go manually override to allow sudo to work without a tty. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] Benefit of PRI vs SIP trunk calls
Does Asterisk, currently using version 1.4, get any more information about the result of an outbound call made over a PRI line compared to a call via a SIP trunk? As an example, in a PRI call there is this message that shows up on the console: [2011-01-05 14:59:02] -- Channel 23 detected a CED tone from the network. for a call to a fax machine. Does asterisk set anything that a dialplan can access that can know the call was to a fax machine? If a call is placed to a number that is disconnected so a special information tone is played can either a PRI call or a SIP call know this without analyzing the audio stream? Are there reasons to prefer the use of PRI over SIP or SIP over PRI? I would like people's opinions as to if one form is better than the other in any meaningful way.

Re: [asterisk-users] Too Few Fax Detections
On 01/05/2011 08:12 PM, Thomas Rymes wrote: OK, after my last message about fax detection, I feel a bit better informed and able to press forward. I started looking into this because I was getting lots of false positive fax detection errors in the logs with faxdetect=both set in chan_dahdi.conf. Anyhow, I do not currently use fax detection, and we have a dedicated Fax DID on our PRI, so setting faxdetect=no works fine. Having said that, I would like to sort it out as I may want to use fax detection in the future. Unfortunately, I seem to be having odd results. I set faxdetect=incoming last night and restarted dahdi and asterisk. Since that time, we have received 17 faxes, but I only have three fax detections in my asterisk log, so far as I can tell: # grep -i fax /var/log/asterisk/full [Jan 5 05:53:39] NOTICE[6686] chan_dahdi.c: Fax detected, but no fax extension [Jan 5 10:24:27] NOTICE[11834] chan_dahdi.c: Fax detected, but no fax extension [Jan 5 11:48:52] NOTICE[13804] chan_dahdi.c: Fax detected, but no fax extension All three calls listed are indeed fax calls, and since there is no fax extension in that context, the call just proceeds along as if nothing happened (which is appropriate). My question is this: If I have received 17 faxes since enabling fax detection, shouldn't I see ~17 entries in the log? How are you delivering the inbound FAX calls to your FAX machine? If you are sending them back out a DAHDI channel (to an FXS port on an analog card, for example), then as soon as the two channels are bridged the audio never comes up to Asterisk (under normal circumstances), it stays in DAHDI, so the Asterisk DSP can't detect the CNG tone. If the FAX machine answers the incoming call fairly quickly, there may not be any opportunity for the CNG to be detected. In addition, you may not be even receiving any audio from the calling FAX machine until you answer the incoming channel (depending on your PRI provider). If you want to have the best chance to detect each incoming FAX using the Asterisk DSP, you'll have to answer the incoming channel as soon as it hits the dialplan, then wait 3 or 4 seconds, then send the call onwards to your actual FAX machine. FAX detection is really expected to be used on calls that would otherwise be answered by a non-FAX endpoint (IVR, voicemail, user with a phone, etc.) -- Kevin P.

What about it was unreliable? Thank you for the inp. ut. Not the intercom, the paging server. It was in a very active environment (car dealership, sometimes many pages per minute). It just stopped responding for a few minutes once in a while. The config is actually very easy. Under less load, it worked well. > What loud speaker did you end up going with? Polycom 321 with a 3.5mm plug to an external speaker. They already had something in place speaker-wise, so didn't bother checking. > Was it cumbersome (space-wise) to have a phone and a loudspeaker? Space wasn't an issue there, it was a Polycom 321 connected to a building-wide paging system in a server room. I imagine on a busy kitchen wall it's different.

[asterisk-users] using google for vm transcripts
I'm pretty impressed by how well (comparatively) google voice does in doing voice mail transcripts. So I'd like to have google do my local voice mail, and then email the transcript. So I set up extensions.conf: exten =>s,n,Dial(${House_Phones},36) ; this should be six rings exten =>s,n,Dial(Gtalk//${{...@voice.google.com) but I get this error: -- Executing [...@incoming-pstn-line:6] Dial("DAHDI/4-1", "Gtalk//@voice.google.com") in new stack [Jan 5 16:26:22] ERROR[3129]: chan_gtalk.c:1871 gtalk_request: No XMPP client to talk to, us (partial JID) : Any help appreciated. sean -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] TDM410 and DSL
Hi all, I have a system installation in Guam with two trunks. One has a DSL service riding on it with the usual filter. That channel however keeps throwing alarms. I bypassed the filter and it stopped throwing alarms, but of course the high frequencies annoy the users. I swapped the filters and the alarms came back. Any suggestions? Could I have a bad DSL modem? Cassius -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] Too Few Fax Detections
OK, after my last message about fax detection, I feel a bit better informed and able to press forward. I started looking into this because I was getting lots of false positive fax detection errors in the logs with faxdetect=both set in chan_dahdi.conf. Anyhow, I do not currently use fax detection, and we have a dedicated Fax DID on our PRI, so setting faxdetect=no works fine. Having said that, I would like to sort it out as I may want to use fax detection in the future. Unfortunately, I seem to be having odd results. I set faxdetect=incoming last night and restarted dahdi and asterisk. Since that time, we have received 17 faxes, but I only have three fax detections in my asterisk log, so far as I can tell: # grep -i fax /var/log/asterisk/full [Jan 5 05:53:39] NOTICE[6686] chan_dahdi.c: Fax detected, but no fax extension [Jan 5 10:24:27] NOTICE[11834] chan_dahdi.c: Fax detected, but no fax extension [Jan 5 11:48:52] NOTICE[13804] chan_dahdi.c: Fax detected, but no fax extension All three calls listed are indeed fax calls, and since there is no fax extension in that context, the call just proceeds along as if nothing happened (which is appropriate). My question is this: If I have received 17 faxes since enabling fax detection, shouldn't I see ~17 entries in the log? Assuming the answer to that question is yes, what might be causing the system to not detect faxes on the other 14 calls?
