Re: [asterisk-users] Segmenting A Configration File

2012-08-12 Thread Leandro Dardini
One of my clients uses thirdlane. The web interface is clean and nice, but
asterisk completely locks when one of the client change the config and
reloads during peak hours. It is possible my client uses an old version or
hasn't applied all the patches or hasn't configured asterisk in the right
way or the underlying hardware is not enough powerful, but I'd not suggest
it to manage over than few hundred peers.

I have seen several software solutions, all configuration file based and
they all have the same problem. They locks asterisk on reload, so you'll
end not altering the configuration during peak hours and you'll avoid
giving the clients the ability to change their config. The only key
solution is to have a completely realtime version.

 Hi

 Have you seen thirdlane?
 Thirdlane has a multitenant version.

 I am planning a multi-tenant VoIP services system with Asterisk, using
 configuration tweaks. Having all the tenant configurations in one
 configuration file is overwhelming. I would like to segment the
 configuration files and include them in the main configuration file. Is it
 possible?

 For e.g. I would like to have the main extenstions.conf file to include
 tenant01_extenstions.conf, tenant02_extensions.conf. By this way it is easy
 to manage the configurations of each tenant.


 We put each tenant's sip and extensions config files in
 /etc/asterisk/accounts and then do an include for that directory in the
 main files.

 We keep all the voicemail.conf in one because changes to passwords will
 NOT be saved to included files.  We used to use includes for voicemail but
 that meant no password changes.

 The main file has a list of all phone numbers in the system in numerical
 order where we set the account name, and then we send them to the proper
 context like this:

 exten = 12015551212,1,Set(CDR(accountcode)=johnsmith)
 

 exten = _X.,n(cont),Goto(${CDR(accountcode)}#did,${EXTEN},1)

 There's a bunch of other stuff in there where we do line counting and
 such.

Please suggest me the best way. and how to test FoIP ?


I use Asterisk 10.3.1, SpanDSP 0.0.6, and Ubuntu 11.10 connecting to 
Gafachi.com.  It works with probably 95% success rate talking via T.38.
95% is pretty bad. Do you know if the failures are mostly during the 
initial negotiation, or somewhere in the actual FAX exchange?

Re: [asterisk-users] Debian 7/Asterisk TLS bug and others

2012-08-12 Thread Daniel Pocock

 Is Digium officially endorsing 1.8.13 for wheezy in any way?

 No. Digium nor the Asterisk Project has anything to do with the package
 within Debian.  In fact, most of the work is done by Tzafrir.

I'm not referring to the actual packaging processes, but just the
general strategy

For example, if wheezy is released at Christmas, it could be the current
version for 2 years (until end of 2014) and then another year of
security updates (until end of 2015).  Anyone using Debian during that
period will come across Asterisk v1.8.13

It raises various issues:

- with TLS use likely to grow over that time, will the problems in the
current version become noticed by many more people?

- will general security updates for 1.8.x continue up to at least 2015?

I've raised a bug report in Debian about the general state of the TLS
support and to see if it is appropriate for the long lifespan of
packages in Debian - any comments on this would be really welcome

Usually dies in the initial negotiations.

95% was just an off the top of my head number.  I'll crunch some CDRs 
and get an actual percentage.

Re: [asterisk-users] best free fax solution with asterisk

2012-08-12 Thread Bryant Zimmerman
James is this inbound or outbound faxing that is running at 95%. We see 
about 94% success on inbound faxes, but were not satisfied with that so we 
started doing some research into the issue to find that the bulk of the 
fails were actually voice calls, or robo dialers calling fax numbers. Once 
we threw out those we get about 98%  The last 2% include some calls that 
might not have been faxes, but we were not able to eliminate all of them. 
Out bound runs at about 98% success.
Thanks
