Re: [asterisk-users] Paging for Praying

2013-01-02 Thread Lenz Emilitri
How many people do you plan to page? because if numbers are high (or
variable) you may have an easier life by using some sort of dialer if
numbers are not very high and two lines are enough, our WombatDialer is
free to use.

 2) Praying time need to be obtained from text (or database). So, it is not
 always the same time. What actually is needed to be obtained from the text
 file or the database is the time of the pray for each date (for example, if
 today is 28 of December so the query will be for this date and then it is
 required to check if the time is same as the current time to page the wave
 file on the Phones).

 Hi,

 I am new to asterisk, i want to know that is it possible to use asterisk
 for build voice recording system.

 Scenario :

 I want every incoming  outgoing call has to recorded, but without manual

Re: [asterisk-users] Catching hold in dialplan

Steve Murphy submitted a patch a while ago to track MOH on queues, you can
find it at https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-20742 - it
could be a good starting point to work on as it is quite short.
Too bad it is still in limbo :-(

  Hey all,



 I’ve built a custom application for our call center and am having one
 problem. Unfortunately certain things happen whilst the agent has the
 customer on hold which I’d like to work around. But I can’t work out how to
 catch the actual hold event so I can do something about it. From the
 console with verbosity on 12, all I can see is:

 -- Started music on hold, class 'default', on SIP/trunk-9546

 -- Started music on hold, class 'default', on SIP/100-9547



 I’m happy to try and catch this AGI or via manager if needed, however a
 dialplan based solution would be best.



 Thanks all!



 Andrew

Top post for the New Year.

Yes, if you might scale up to 60 or more simultaneous calls,
definitely look at OrecX or RTPTap because you will run into I/O
issues.  Not sure what current hardware can accommodate but it is best
not to find out.

Considering the very low cost of hardware these days compared with the
cost of possible downtime, poor audio, lost recordings or whatever
else you can assign a monetary value, I always suggest a separate
machine for Passive recording when dealing with more than a handful
of simultaneous calls.

I don't know how many I/O can be achieved on a modern hardware, but I don't
think 60 concurrent calls will be a problem. 60 calls are just 4 Mbit/s of
data. However can be a good idea to start loading a server and be prepared
to share the load on another server.

[asterisk-users] Dialing out and recording

2013-01-02 Thread Henrik Westerberg
Hi,

I am using asterisk via AGI and want to be able to record a call.
The scenario is:

  1.  A call comes in
  2.  The call is redirected to a mobile number via a local extension and 
ChannelRedirect
  3.  The local extension looks like something this:

exten = _X.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},60,…)
exten = _X.,n,Agi(agi://localhost/aj.agi?action=……..)

I have looked through all arguments of Dial but haven't found any way to 
continue having a connected call between the caller and the callee and have AGI 
control of it. Is there a way to do this or do I have to use G() and connect 
the both ends to AGI separately and then bridging them before recording the 
call?

Thanks for help.

Regards,

Henrik

Re: [asterisk-users] new user help required to build voice recorder with asterisk

2013-01-02 Thread Steve Totaro
It depends on what you do with them.

Years ago, 60 calls would start to crap out audio on live calls and I
learned that the hard way on a production call center.  There was the
I/O of just SLIN, then converting to MP3, then transferring to a not
too forgiving SAMBA share.  Scheduling things for a slower times and
moving the MP3 conversion to the mass storage significantly helped
while scrambling to find the permanent solution.

People could increase those numbers with RAMDisk and other tricks but
just moving it off the Phone System makes more sense.

Why not engineer something to scale and last without knowing that you
will have to revisit it and quite possibly at the most inopportune
time, like when you just spent a good deal of money on an advertising
spot?

Re: [asterisk-users] Dialing out and recording

2013-01-02 Thread Don Kelly
I have the same requirement, but it's important that the caller ID
information from the original caller is presented to the destination and we
announce the call before the transfer is complete. The carrier requires a
diversion header if the ANI is not one of our DIDs. Does someone have
experience with this working?

Put the AGI call in a macro context and add M(macro) to your Dial string.

Hi,

 

I am using asterisk via AGI and want to be able to record a call.

The scenario is:

1.  A call comes in
2.  The call is redirected to a mobile number via a local extension and
ChannelRedirect
3.  The local extension looks like something this:

exten = _X.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},60,.)

exten = _X.,n,Agi(agi://localhost/aj.agi?action=)

 

I have looked through all arguments of Dial but haven't found any way to
continue having a connected call between the caller and the callee and have
AGI control of it. Is there a way to do this or do I have to use G() and
connect the both ends to AGI separately and then bridging them before
recording the call?

 

Thanks for help.

 

Regards,

 

Henrik

Two suggestions for you, Don.  #1 if the Dial is Private the
announcement is taken care of. #2 I'm supposing that you could do a SIP
Header command before the Dial to resolve the diversion header issue.

 There is a sanction. People like me will score top posters lower and
 soon not see their posts at all.


Let me point out that there are users of this mailing list (such as myself)
who are completely unaware of what you're talking about.


 It is often a quick way to see if it is worth responding to someone. If
 they top post, nothing of value is likely to come out of the
 conversation.


That kind of attitude is unlikely to yield dividends in the long term.



 So by all means, everybody who wants to, keep top posting.


I probably will, from time to time. Not always, but as Gmail evolves as a
service, they seem to be making this style of conversation more and more
difficult. Inline replies and bottom-posting are nearly impossible to do
nicely on an iPhone. Outlook  – as mentioned elsewhere in this thread –
isn't helping here either.

But a thinly veiled I'll take my ball and go home reaction isn't
productive for either you or the communities you participate in.

Precisely (e.g., see above)! Indeed, my sense is that top-posting
*discourages* properly trimming email and that's my main reason against it.
If things were properly trimmed, the email would be short enough that it
really doesn't matter that much if the new material is on the top or
bottom, but people who top-post and don't trim create really hard-to-follow
emails.

In this properly trimmed example, there's no record of who said what. I
like top posting--with trimming that removes no value and a resultant
message that has the entire history so I can delete the older messages. As
Outlook doesn't support the usenet approach to mail lists, what do people
recommend for a good way of managing this type of list?

 In this properly trimmed example, there's no record of who said what. 

When it's relevant, I trim in such a way that that information is
preserved.  But I would *never* leave in a header, just the identification
of the person who typed that part.  Most mailers, when you include text
from another email, put someting like XYZ wrote: before the included
text.  So usually it's just a matter of preservating that and adding any
that are needed that aren't there.

Yes, it takes a few minutes longer, but given that there are probably
hundreds of people reading my email, that's an investment that I find
*well* worth it.

Yes, but if you put those at the end, where they belong, people reading
the email can follow the thread quite easily and can ignore those if
they don't need them.  Certainly only a tiny part of such, if any at all,
should be included in a reply.

Yes, but if you put those at the end, where they belong, people reading

It is not hard to follow the rules .  If the nice folks at Digium took

What version of ALSA do you have installed? 1.0.26 is current (
http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page ) and it looks like the
crash is in there.

At 08:22 AM 1/2/2013, you wrote:


 Wouldn't need to if people trimmed their posts properly.

 Precisely (e.g., see above)! Indeed, my sense is that top-posting
 *discourages* properly trimming email and that's my main reason against it.
 If things were properly trimmed, the email would be short enough that it
 really doesn't matter that much if the new material is on the top or
 bottom, but people who top-post and don't trim create really hard-to-follow
 emails.



I would think that if people properly trimmed their posts it would 
hardly matter at all and that life would be a lot better if we griped 
about that instead of where to post.


And I find the people who top post somewhat insulting, I usually top 
post because my email program has no clue what a thread is. I always 
trim my messages and unless the topic is really interesting I won't 
scroll more than 1 or 2 pages to see an answer.


And I started communicating with a 2400 baud modem so trimming was a 
necessity and a requirement of friendship.


I think the Will Asterisk run on a Rasberry Pi thread the perfect 
example of why this list is dying. I don't have a Pi but I did spend 
an hour one day researching one and I know I came across all the 
answers in that thread. Sadly, for me, the Pi is the perfect example 
of why there needs to be $25 USB to POTs and USB to analog phone adapters.

I'm 69, not too likely to do much more growing up, and I do follow the
rules, unless the thread is already top-posted.

I'm young enough, though, that I don't have a problem discussing change, and
I thought I had started a new thread with the Top Posting subject so you
wouldn't need to waste your time looking at it.

If there were change, I'd think it would be better to come from the list
users rather than from Digium.

If you'd like to add real value to this discussion, you might respond to my
request for information on what product/procedure/whatever would enable me
to follow and participate in bottom-posted discussions as it doesn't appear
that Outlook or gmail are very effective.

I'm faced with spending a few minutes carefully trimming a useful reply or

Umm, what about positioning the cursor below the previous post before 
writing your reply in outlook, I used to do it all the time when forced 
to use outlook by company policy or such. Click on scroll bar drag - to 
bottom of reply - click in message body, about a half seconds time, 
maybe a full second if you choose to move slowly. Admittedly though it 
has been a few versions since I have been forced to use Outlook, I 
currently use Thunderbird for mail and can set it to start my reply on 
top or at the bottom.

If you are answering one of my questions, please feel free to top post, 
bottom post or post in the middle.

I would rather have an answer than nothing - no matter how nicely formatted.

Part of the problem is the way that Asterisk is delivered.
The configuration files are way too complex and handle a lot of obscure 
situations rather than being minimal working configurations.


I am not sure that all of the defaults actually make sense - I just had 
to go in and turn on tos in SIP. The default is none which is not what 
the docs that I found, recommend.

SIP login comes with defaults that are not recommended for security reasons.

The documentation is hard to use.
At the same time, there is an expectation in the public that a competent 
system administrator can install an Asterisk PBX.


This being said, given the number of Asterisk installations being 
installed each day by first-time administrators, the traffic here seems 
pretty reasonable both in volume and in level of difficulty.

problems.  I've seen many tech lists die off when people stop trying to
help themselves and ask intelligent questions.


Good point Carlos and I share your feeling. On the Postfix mailing list, 
when someone asks a basic how do I ... question, inevitably the 
response is one or more links to a section in the documentation. And 
that works really well. The interesting problems discussed on that ML 
outnumber the questions from those who can't be bothered to try to help 
themselves by spending a couple of minutes reading the docs. I would 
welcome similar responses on this mailing list to improve the S/N ratio.



As to top-posting, another example of when I think it's generally
acceptable is people using tablets.  I have found no way on either my
iOS or Android tablets to quickly/easily post in the traditional manner.
  If I'm faced with spending a few minutes carefully trimming a useful
reply or just not posting it at all, I'm likely to choose the latter if
I'm on a list that says absolutely never top post.


I only use Thunderbird to post but I now have seen several arguments 
that MUAs like Outlook and iOS/Android clients are simply  not capable 
of bottom posting  trimming. Perhaps the list admins could take that 
into account when appropriate.


Regards,
Patrick

Umm, what about positioning the cursor below the previous post before
writing your reply in outlook, I used to do it all the time when forced to
use outlook by company policy or such. Click on scroll bar drag - to bottom
of reply - click in message body, about a half seconds time, maybe a full
second if you choose to move slowly. Admittedly though it has been a few
versions since I have been forced to use Outlook, I currently use
Thunderbird for mail and can set it to start my reply on top or at the
bottom.

JohnM

I don't have any problem getting my reply to the bottom of the email, but
Outlook doesn't do any indenting or  or anything (Makes in-line comments
really hard to work with). When people following the rules trim everything,
I end up seeing Works for me Me too with no way of following the thread
to see what they're talking about (especially if the subject is Merry
Christmas and they're talking about Razberry Pi).

I don't think Outlook does what I'd like, so I'm not limiting my options. I
can use different email to keep track of the Asterisk lists.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk as answering machine

2013-01-02 Thread Ron Wheeler

I have connected a PSTN line to a Digium FXO card.
There is also an ordinary analogue phone attached to the same line.

The Asterisk answers the line on the first ring.

I would like it to wait for a few seconds so that someone can answer the 
PSTN line with an analogue phone.
This would allow a person to directly pick up the line if they wanted to 
or if not, let it go to the Asterisk where it would be dispatched 
through the normal process.


Currently, as soon as the analogue phone rings, the Asterisk PBX has 
already answered the call and starts the You have reached. Dial 
 and tries to dispatch the call.


This makes it hard to carry on a conversation.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Dialing out and recording

 

Hi,

 

I am using asterisk via AGI and want to be able to record a call.

The scenario is:

1. A call comes in
2. The call is redirected to a mobile number via a local extension and
ChannelRedirect
3. The local extension looks like something this:

exten = _X.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},60,.)

exten = _X.,n,Agi(agi://localhost/aj.agi?action=)

 

I have looked through all arguments of Dial but haven't found any way to
continue having a connected call between the caller and the callee and
have
AGI control of it. Is there a way to do this or do I have to use G() and
connect the both ends to AGI separately and then bridging them before
recording the call?

 

Thanks for help.

#2 works for me on Asterisk 1.8.12 when setting the header like this:

exten = _S,n,SipSetHeader(Diversion:  ${CALLERID(rdnis)})

I haven't been able to make it work on 1.6 yet though, has anyone else?

I have the same requirement, but it's important that the caller ID
information from the original caller is presented to the destination and
we
announce the call before the transfer is complete. The carrier requires
a
diversion header if the ANI is not one of our DIDs. Does someone have
experience with this working?

Two suggestions for you, Don.  #1 if the Dial is Private the
announcement is taken care of. #2 I'm supposing that you could do a SIP
Header command before the Dial to resolve the diversion header issue.

[asterisk-users] AST-2012-014: Crashes due to large stack allocations when using TCP

2013-01-02 Thread Asterisk Security Team
   Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2012-014

 ProductAsterisk  
 SummaryCrashes due to large stack allocations when using 
TCP   
Nature of Advisory  Stack Overflow
  SusceptibilityRemote Unauthenticated Sessions (SIP) 
  
Remote Authenticated Sessions (XMPP, HTTP)
 Severity   Critical  
  Exploits KnownNo
   Reported On  7 November, 2012  
   Reported By  Walter Doekes 
Posted On   2 January, 2013   
 Last Updated OnJanuary 2, 2013   
 Advisory Contact   Mark Michelson mmichelson AT digium DOT com 
 CVE Name   CVE-2012-5976 

Description  Asterisk has several places where messages received over 
 various network transports may be copied in a single stack   
 allocation. In the case of TCP, since multiple packets in a  
 stream may be concatenated together, this can lead to large  
 allocations that overflow the stack. 
  
 In the case of SIP, it is possible to do this before a   
 session is established. Keep in mind that SIP over UDP is
 not affected by this vulnerability.  
  
 With HTTP and XMPP, a session must first be established  
 before the vulnerability may be exploited. The XMPP  
 vulnerability exists both in the res_jabber.so module in 
 Asterisk 1.8, 10, and 11 as well as the res_xmpp.so module   
 in Asterisk 11.  

Resolution  Stack allocations when using TCP have either been eliminated  
in favor of heap allocations or have had an upper bound   
placed on them to ensure that the stack will not overflow.
  
For SIP, the allocation now has an upper limit.   
  
For HTTP, the allocation is now a heap allocation instead of  
a stack allocation.   
  
For XMPP, the allocation has been eliminated since it was 
unnecessary.

 Last Updated OnJanuary 2, 2013   
 Advisory Contact   Matt Jordan mjordan AT digium DOT com   
 CVE Name   CVE-2012-5977 

Description  Asterisk maintains an internal cache for devices. The
 device state cache holds the state of each device known to   
 Asterisk, such that consumers of device state information
 can query for the last known state for a particular device,  
 even if it is not part of an active call. The concept of a   
 device in Asterisk can include things that do not have a 
 physical representation. One way that this currently occurs  
 is when anonymous calls are allowed in Asterisk. A device
 is automatically created and stored in the cache for each
 anonymous call that occurs; this is possible in the SIP and  
 IAX2 channel drivers and through channel drivers that
 utilize the res_jabber/res_xmpp resource modules (Gtalk, 
 Jingle, and Motif). Attackers exploiting this vulnerability  
 can attack an Asterisk system configured to allow anonymous  
 calls by varying the source of the anonymous call,   
 continually adding devices to the device state cache and 
 consuming a system's resources.  

Resolution  Channels that are not associated with a physical device are   
no longer stored in the device state cache. This affects  
Local, DAHDI, SIP and IAX2 channels, and any channel drivers  
built on the res_jabber/res_xmpp resource modules (Gtalk, 
Jingle, and Motif).

[asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.8.11-cert10, 1.8.19.1, 10.11.1, 10.11.1-digiumphones, 11.1.1 Now Available (Security Release)

2013-01-02 Thread Asterisk Development Team
The Asterisk Development Team has announced security releases for Certified
Asterisk 1.8.11 and Asterisk 1.8, 10, and 11. The available security releases
are released as versions 1.8.11-cert10, 1.8.19.1, 10.11.1, 10.11.1-digiumphones,
and 11.1.1.

These releases are available for immediate download at
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases

The release of these versions resolve the following two issues:

* Stack overflows that occur in some portions of Asterisk that manage a TCP
  connection. In SIP, this is exploitable via a remote unauthenticated session;
  in XMPP and HTTP connections, this is exploitable via remote authenticated
  sessions.  

* A denial of service vulnerability through exploitation of the device state
  cache. Anonymous calls had the capability to create devices in Asterisk that
  would never be disposed of.

These issues and their resolutions are described in the security advisories.

For more information about the details of these vulnerabilities, please read
security advisories AST-2012-014 and AST-2012-015, which were released at the
same time as this announcement.

For a full list of changes in the current releases, please see the ChangeLogs:

Gmail has just updated some stuff and I've been fiddling with the gmail ap
on Android (Ice Cream Sandwich).

I can select inline reply, delete superfluous stuff and go to the bottom
for my post.

After a few messages back and forth, the thread is displayed with a Show
quoted text link for each post and the current post at the bottom.

In gmail in my Chrome browser, the message is displayed with the subject at
the top and each of the posts (without quoting--even though it's in the
message) all nicely stacked up below. I haven't found the bottom post button
in the browser.

Are you sure about that ? I know I was doing stuff with asterisk back in

[asterisk-users] Speaking opportunities at Digium Asterisk World/IT Expo - Miami Beach - 1/31 and 2/1

2013-01-02 Thread David Duffett

Happy New Year.

Digium Asterisk World is a set of conference sessions that run at IT Expo in 
Miami Beach, FL at the end of this month.

See http://www.tmcnet.com/voip/conference/digium-asterisk-world/default.htm  
for more details.

The conference runs 1/30-2/1, and we have a small number (2 or 3 ) of speaking 
slot available, over 1/31 and 2/1.

This presents an opportunity for you to talk about your contribution(s) to the 
Asterisk project or describe your interesting Asterisk implementations - 
identifying you as a thought-leader in your field.

Digium Asterisk World is more commercially focussed than AstriCon, and a 
proportion of the audience will be looking for solutions, rather than 
specifically wanting to get directly involved in the implementation itself - so 
this may provide a way for you to meet customers, or to show the community what 
you have been up to with Asterisk.

The sessions must be educational and non-commercial. No pitches.  

Each session is 45 mins in duration, including time for Q and A.

As a thank you for your successful speaking submission, we will give you an 
all-access pass to IT Expo, which includes all conference sessions (for all 
tracks at IT Expo) and conference meals.

[You will need to make your own arrangements to get to the conference and for 
local accommodation, if needed - we will not fund or contribute to this].  

Please get in touch with me directly if you would like to speak - sending a 
session title and description and a few lines about you, as a speaker.

All the best,

David

[asterisk-users] Telecom Best Practices

2013-01-02 Thread DBC on Asterisk List
OK. I'm getting out the fireproof suit because it's coming and my 
hackles have been raised by a number of comments on the list of late.


Disclaimer:
No disrespect intended to the individuals of any *specific* thread. I'm 
a little frustrated over energy wasted on pedantic top/bottom posting 
crap rather than understanding the technology and industry 
best-practices which have been built upon for years.


I'm not against change - far from it. I'm against throwing out good work 
and history done by an entire industry to make telecom one of the most 
complex and yet stable computing environments (class 4/5 entrants from 
Nortel, Lucent, etc.) We should learn from and extend best practices 
where they do not address circumstances which weren't available 20 years 
ago (or more) but not to ignore proven practices simply because the 
transport mechanism is now a packet instead of a circuit.


I'm not alone.

Here's the deal with Asterisk as an Answering Machine - industry best 
practices.
- don't put phones in parallel with the pbx except for the single, 
emergency phone next to the PBX.
- PBX's are directors of calls. For it to direct, it must have control. 
For it to have control, you can't answer some calls in parallel.
- even if it is a home/1-phone-office, the PBX accepts and directs the 
call to phones *behind* it. The phone rings, if you don't answer it goes 
to voicemail.


If you don't follow this practice you will have:
- timing issues with the answering of analogue phones - rings are not 
always consistent.
- people will pick up just in time and will have to compete with 
voicemail.
- you won't get accurate CDR's which means you can do proper billing 
reconcilliation, chargebacks or help you understand your call paths and 
volumes to help troubleshoot down the road. (You may not care about bill 
reconcilliation or chargebacks but remember - this is a PBX (aka 
business phone system) and that's what business does so that's the 
business model that is supported by most practices.


Just to prove I'm not too old for change and acceptance of new technology...
- If you get charged by the connect from your provider, route by DID but 
don't answer it in an IVR. That way you don't get billed.
- Once you are looking to route to a phone behind the PBX, hey - check 
your jabber status. Is your desktop in IDLE, you're not there - send it 
to your cell phone. Oh, BTW - change the CLID on the way back out to 
append H- to the caller so you know it came redirected from the house. 
This helps you decide context of the caller and decide if you want to 
answer or *how* you will answer.


There is no reason to not have all phones behind the PBX. There is 
nothing mandating you to dial a 9, or similar to get an outside line. Be 
creative. Use internal extensions that don't conflict with your local 
calling area exchanges. Then you write dialplans for the phones that 
will dial right away and not make you wait to timeout on the 10-digit+ dial.


There are *way* too many cool things we can do with Asterisk that worry 
about top/bottom posting. Let's get back to reading docs - asterisk  
industry practices.


Fireproof suit on and buttoned up. I'm ready.

[asterisk-users] DAHDI: How to know since when it is used? How to shutdown after max time?

2013-01-02 Thread bilal ghayyad
Hi;

How can I know the duration that the DAHDI channel is still used? I need to 
know its status and since when it is in this status, how?

Also, is it possible to hangup the channel if it has been openned more than 90 
minute? Other than using the timeout in the Dial command (because this I know 
it).

What is happening with me that from time to time, I find some DAHDI channels 
are stayed connected (stuck) for long time. I know how to write the 
extensions.conf in a way to handle the hangup properly, also I send the 
incoming calls to the voicemail to be sure it is hanged up properly. One more 
thing, I set the rtptimeout in case there is any problem in the sip phone and 
the network .. But, still after sometime, I am surprised that some channels are 
stuck and stayed connected and then I have to reset it manually !! This is 
happening only in the analoge channels.

What other than the rtptimeout, the hangup in the extensions.conf, the 
voicemail? Is there anything I have to take care for it that might cause this 
stuck and keeping the channel openned?

By the way, for such cases, what should I place the value of the rtpkeepalive 
as currently it is 0?

What other things I have to take care for it?

Regards
Bilal

Re: [asterisk-users] Paging for Praying

2013-01-02 Thread bilal ghayyad
Thanks for the help.

As I see that the call file is used to generate calls, can I use this technique 
to page the Phones?

It is one wave file only that need to be Paged for all the Phones connected on 
the Asterisk PBX.

When I say Paging, I mean that they are going to hear the sound from the 
speaker (without pickup the handset).

By using AMI, then I can build PHP script that will use the AMI to do the Page?

Thanks and Regards
Bilal

 
  A call file is a text file that you create. The
 format is very 
  specific.

 In my experience, you can't just dump xxx call files into
 the outgoing 
 directory. If you expect more than a dozen or so, you'll
 have to move them 
 in blocks as they are processed. Another good reason to use
 AMI.
 
  You can 'schedule' a call file to be processed in
 the future by setting 
  the file's 'mtime.'
 
  * Can you explain for me please?
 
 Create a file named fajr containing:
 
      application:    playback
      channel:    sip/bilal
      data:   
     fajr-in-10-minutes
 
 Copy the file to a directory we assume is on the same file
 system as 
 /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/:
 
      cp\
          fajr\
         
 /var/spool/asterisk/tmp/
 
 Set the file's 'mtime'
 
      touch\
          --date='now + 2
 minutes'\
          --time=mtime\
             
 /var/spool/asterisk/tmp/fajr
 
 Move it to the outgoing directory:
 
      mv\
         
 /var/spool/asterisk/tmp/fajr\
         
 /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
 
 Your phone should ring in about 2 minutes.
 
 You may want to look into setting 'auto-answer' or some sort
 of 'overhead 
 paging' with a very discreet sound file like a short, single
 beep.
 
 Please consider AMI if you are looking for a robust
 service.

Re: [asterisk-users] Paging for Praying

Please trim cruft irrelevant to the current questions.

Yes. The call file would look something like:

application:page
data:   sip/bilalsip/steve
channel:local/fajr@prayer-reminder

and a snippet of extensions.conf would look something like:

[prayer-reminder]
exten = fajr,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
exten = fajr,n, playback(time-for-fajr)
exten = fajr,n, hangup()

When I say Paging, I mean that they are going to hear the sound from the 
speaker (without pickup the handset).


Then you will have to learn how to set the 'auto-answer' SIP header for 
each of your phone types.


The page at:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Page

should help with the specifics of setting auto-answer.

This also means the 'data' line in the call file will change to something 
like:


data:   local/bilal@pagelocal/steve@page

By using AMI, then I can build PHP script that will use the AMI to do 
the Page?


I'm sorry. I thought we had a 'failure to communicate' in your use of the 
word page in your previous emails. I though you meant playback.


Since you are only placing a single call, the call file approach should be 
fine. But, to answer your question, you should be able to use AMI as well.

Re: [asterisk-users] User busy issue in A400P 4 FXO card

2013-01-02 Thread Selva M
Hi,

 I setup PBX with A400P 4 x FXo board. There are one analog line plugged
into port 1.

 Internal extension cane make calls to PSTN without any issue.

 When I make inbound call, caller get busy tone user busy' message right
away.

 Asterisk log shows following log and internal extension (200) rings for
that call and hangup (log below).

  I tested the system with some other service provider and it worked fine
for IB and OB calls.

   i would like to get your feedback to resolve the issue and will
appreciate your feedback.

Thanks
Selva
