That would be the simplest approach (modulo firewalls). If you already
have another SIP provider, you could configure your home asterisk to
forward calls to that...

WPA and WPA2. Battery lasts about a day in dual mode, much longer in
2G-only of course. And at UKP30 they may be worth a punt even if you end

I've been using a UTStarcom GF-210 for the last year and more as my
personal phone - dual-mode 2G GSM and SIP/802.11. Sound quality on SIP
is slightly better than 2G, getting it to talk to Asterisk is no problem
at all, but certainly if you're moving from one wifi device to another
you will get dropped calls. If that's your use case, it's going to be
that way whatever hardware you use - I haven't seen any implementations
of 802.11F or 802.11r in the field.

Yes, no problem.

First, get the two servers talking to each other (I like IAX for this,
but SIP also works). If NAT is a concern, there are various ways round
it (I like VPN tunnels).

Then set up the dialplan on the public server to route the call to the
other machine.

I'm not sure what you mean by "using Extension", but you can certainly
route calls between the two with as much complexity as you desire. (For
example, I run a public server to receive calls presented as SIP/IAX,
and a private server connected to IP-phones and a POTS card, with a VPN
tunnel between them.)

Those are all about sending data in an existing channel, though -
the trick is that I don't _have_ a channel, which is presumably why
MessageSend exists. Is there a way to set up a channel without ringing

[asterisk-users] MessageSend, SIP, and call files

2012-04-10 Thread Roger Burton West
As I've occasionally posted here before, I have user terminals which can
accept SIP text messages to an SMS-like interface.

After upgrading to Asterisk 10, I do indeed have external processes
generating these messages. But it's a bit ugly. What I'd _like_ to do is
simply generate a callfile, and something like this almost works:

Channel: Local/8902
Application: MessageSend
Set: MESSAGE(body)=messagebody
Data: sip:glowworm
Data: sip:glowworm

but (a) I need that reserved local number to let the call work at all
(the number just does an Answer(), Wait(10), Hangup) and (b) I can't
seem to set the sender's name. That ought to be the second Data
parameter; actually the second one seems to determine where the message
goes, and whatever I set the first one to the sender name always comes
up as "asterisk". (Specifically, in the packet capture, I have

From: "asterisk" 

.) Now, I _can_ achieve the desired result, but only by having _another_
local number that does

exten => 8901,n,SET(MESSAGE(body)=${msg_out_body})
exten => 8901,n,MessageSend(${msg_out_to},${msg_out_from})

and setting up the callfile with:

Extension: 8901
Set: msg_out_to=glowworm
Set: msg_out_from=

at which point the message will appear to originate from FROM (note that
if I put a display name component in the msg_out_from it gets ignored -
but that is the terminals' peculiarity). But that's ugly. Has anyone got
this working with a relatively straight callfile setup?

While I'm writing, does Asterisk 10 have any way to send a SIP message
that isn't text/plain?

No, it's system-specific. Debian for example will assign UIDs out of the

Just use the textual UID/GID values, not the numeric ones.

To add to what everyone else has said: if you _really_ need to run a

having to have a full desktop installed there.

(As for wireshark: tcpdump on site, then bring the capture file home to

I have a couple of VoIP phones fed through Asterisk, as well as analogue
phones linked directly to the line. In this case, picking up the
analogue phone stops the VoIP phones ringing (after ten seconds or so).
I don't know whether this would be achievable with the Asterisk
console and soundcard drivers...

While the most usual problem is packet filtering / NAT, this generally
manifests as no audio at all in one direction, not a drop in mid-call.
But it's possible that one of the intermediate transit providers is
doing something "clever". (Disabling ping, as you mention in your later
email, is often a good indicator of a company with insufficient Clue.)

Are you in a position to tunnel the traffic over a VPN or similarly flat
and unfilterable network link? (This might be a good idea anyway.)

Generate a callfile, setting Channel to point to the softphone (e.g.
SIP/Xlitephone) and Extension to point to the number you want to dial.
(You'll need to specify Context too.)

When the callfile is processed, the softphone will ring; when it's
picked up, it will dial the far end.

Depends on the other parameters. Perl is great for rapid development,
but I wouldn't run it per-call on a box taking hundreds of calls per
second. (Ditto Ruby and Python.) C will be much faster, but it's more
effort to write and debug.

If you want it to be detected within a call, which is what I'd assume,

[asterisk-users] Carrying context from one server to another?

2011-02-24 Thread Roger Burton West
The relevant part of my setup is something like:

SIP phones -> local server -> remote server -> SIP-to-PSTN provider

I want _some_ of the SIP phones on the local server to be able to get
access to SIP-to-PSTN, but not all of them. The local-to-remote
connection is IAX2 over VPN.

Do I need to set up two separate IAX2 connections, one "privileged" and
the other not, or can I somehow tag calls from some phones on the local
server so that they're noted as privileged on the remote server?

I'm using this to place calls from local IP-phones over the PSTN. So my
script will generate, say:

Channel: SIP/lanphone
Context: from-lan
Extension: 08001234567

taking the 0800... from the list of customer details.

SIP/lanphone is the ID of the "originating" phone. Extension is the
sequence the agent would dial if he were placing the call himself.
The "originating" phone rings; when it's picked up, the Asterisk server
calls the "Extension" number and bridges the two calls, so the local
agent hears ringing tones from the far end. All the agent has to do is
pick up the phone when it rings and put it down when the call is over.

Usually it's the other way round: the agent's phone rings, and when he
picks it up the other end gets dialled. That's trivial with call files:

Channel: (local channel ID for agent)
Context: (context for calling local channel)
Extension: (remote party's phone number)

Absent an Asterisk-specific solution, how about a separate process which

[asterisk-users] SIP MESSAGE outside calls - state of the art?

2011-02-09 Thread Roger Burton West
I have a mobile phone (UTStarCom GF-210) that uses SIP MESSAGE to send
"SMS" messages over VoIP. My Asterisk 1.4 installation drops these
messages and returns a failure condition to the phone:

[Feb  9 10:17:22] WARNING[11960]: chan_sip.c:9859 receive_message: Received 
message to  from "Display Name" 
;tag=87739132, dropped it...
  Content-Type:text/plain; charset=UTF-8
  Message: test message

(Packet trace shows a SIP MESSAGE, answered by a 405.)

...and apparently is unable to originate them either; SendText, which
looks as though it ought to be the right way to send them, produces (in
the context of a call, since I can't send the message outside one):

-- Executing [604@default:2] SendText("SIP/mob776-02ba6050", "test 
message") in new stack
-- Incoming call: Got SIP response 405 "Method Not Allowed" back from 
10.0.155.21

even though it's also making a SIP MESSAGE request.

The only documentation I can find talks about a patch and is pretty old:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+SIP+Messaging

What I would like is to be able to send a textual message from the phone
into an AGI script (or for other processing), and to return results the
same way. Is anyone doing this with later versions of Asterisk, or
indeed anything else?

Roger

You might try something based on this:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+auto-dial+out

It's easy to generate a call file which dials the agent's phone, waits
for a pickup, and then dials out.

I think I'd probably replace the two outgoing contexts with one, using a
GotoIf to distinguish between the two phones (branching into your
current code).

Alternatively you could give them each a custom context (say phone1 and
phone2); phone1 would include incoming and outgoing1, phone2 would
include incoming and outgoing2.

If you want to dial a SIP number that's not on your local server, you
need to route it via dialplan logic. You could do this with a prefix
code if you want to be able to dial lots of numbers at the same server:

exten => _9NX.,1,Dial(SIP/user:p...@ekiga.net/${EXTEN:1})

or something more specific if you just want to connect to one:

exten => 602,1,Dial(SIP/user:p...@ekiga.net/*010600)

(Don't quote me on syntax; I don't have any SIP examples handy as I only
use it for local-network calls.)

The desired result is that user A's phone rings; when he picks it up,

You could set up an extension match that triggers on

as it might be, with an access code of 62889:

exten => _*7262889.,1,Set(FWDNUM=${EXTEN:8})

and then put FWDNUM into the astdb or however else you want to handle

Yes, this ought to work. If you're plugging phones into the Samsung it's 
providing an FXS interface, so you'll need an FXO interface to talk to that; if 
you want to connect those analogue phones to Asterisk, you'll also need FXS 
interfaces (though as a short-term fix it would probably be easier to leave 
them plumbed directly into the Samsung box). Getting four modules (each of 
which can be FXO or FXS) on a single card is pretty easy (I use an OpenVox 
A400P from voipon, following recommendations on this list).

You could then connect (some combination of) analogue channels to (some 
combination of) SIP phones, and vice versa to allow outward dialling.

Once you build the Asterisk-only system, you can use the FXO modules to connect 
to analogue PSTN lines (assuming you have a use for this).

The simplest approach would be to skip the answering and just dial
through immediately, feeding back the destination's ring tone to the
originator.

Set up an IAX link between the two boxes (you could do it with SIP, but
I found IAX less trouble), then set up an appropriate bit of dialplan
logic on the American box, as it might be:

exten => 4682,1,Dial(IAX2/usern...@eurobox/8873)

I've never heard of Samsung handsets in the context of Asterisk, so I'm 
guessing they're Samsung-only. If I were in your shoes I'd go for open 
standards all the way. The cheapest Grandstream SIP phone will run you about 40 
pounds retail and _will_ work with Asterisk - or with anything else that speaks 
SIP.

(And of course with an open platform you can give people softphones on their 
PCs if that's what they prefer - some laptop users do.)

>3. Other ways?

It all rather depends on what your proprietary system has been set up to do. 
(If you didn't already have the Samsung box, you wouldn't need to buy one.) 
Dedicated telephony hardware tends to be restricted in all sorts of perverse 
ways to try to make you buy more from the same manufacturer; that'll be your 
biggest problem.

Ideally you would be able to tell your iDCS100 "there are multiple VoIP phones 
at this IP address", and connect to the Asterisk server over the LAN. How you 
would go about that, I have no idea; I suspect "SIP IP Trunking" is what 
Samsung calls this feature. The more work you can  shoft onto the Asterisk 
server, the cleaner this will all be.

In this scenario, the Asterisk server just has a normal network card in it, and 
you shift all your VoIP traffic over the LAN and VPN.

I think what you need to do here is check/set a variable in the astdb.

(If the variable is 1, set it to 2 and route via A; otherwise, set it to
1 and route via B.)

Translation of this to dialplan logic is left as an exercise for the
student.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk sharing a line with POTS handsets: how to interoperate cleanly?

2010-10-05 Thread Roger Burton West
I now have an OpenVox A400P and it is working well. Thanks to Ade
Vickers for the recommendation, which I second.

However, I need to make a slow transition between a conventional
multiple-extension setup and a full VoIP network on these premises. So
at the moment the Asterisk box shares the PSTN connection with several
conventional analogue handsets.

The desired result for an incoming call is that the Asterisk server will
wait N seconds before answering (which I can arrange easily enough), and
if the call has been answered on one of the handsets by that time the
Asterisk server should ignore it completely. Otherwise it should start
checking CLID, prompting for extensions, and other good stuff, which
again I know how to do.

What is a good approach to making sure the Asterisk server doesn't pick
up a call that has been answered elsewhere? (Ideally in pure dialplan,
but a perl AGI would also do.)

Yes. An IP datagram carries only the source and destination IP
addresses, not the DNS names associated with them. Your firewall _may_
be able to accept a DNS name to block or allow rather than an IP
address, but most don't, and doing so makes you vulnerable to DNS
spoofing attacks.

1.4 and ztdummy. I would assume 1.6 with dahdi works similarly...

How are you invoking it? That terminal "s" on the filename looks rather
unexpected.

Have you considered running Asterisk on Server B as well, and using IAX
to trunk between them? This is working well for me.

No, it's just one user with an excessively paranoid and chatty
mailfilter.

[asterisk-users] Authentication best practice

2010-09-20 Thread Roger Burton West
I am working with a simple "follow-me"-style service: rather than have
something that rings several phones in turn, the user dials a number (in
the present implementation, unique to that user) to register his
presence at a particular extension.

What's the standard way to protect this from unauthorised use?
Voicemail()-style, where the user has to enter a PIN once the connection
is made? With a very long number, so that number and PIN can be
integrated in the phone's contact list? With a single central number,
where the each user has to enter his own unique identifier _and_ PIN?

So check that /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/cleanpickup.agi is executable by
the user under which asterisk is running.

Consider writing a filter for fail2ban [http://www.fail2ban.org/] that
works on the Asterisk logs?

AGI script that can look directly at your master list of numbers/routes?

ifconfig -a would help here. Kernel upgrades often seem to bring in new
default interfaces.

If this turns out to be the problem, rmmod or a custom kernel
compilation may do the trick. (Of course if you've _lost_ an interface
you were using under etch this may be more of a problem.)

[asterisk-users] Wanted: UK-specific hardware recommendations (FXO and FXS)

2010-09-03 Thread Roger Burton West
I have a pair of Asterisk servers which are happily routeing VoIP calls.
I want to hook one of them to the PSTN. Given that I am in the UK, what
is a reasonably easily-available device to provide an FXO interface from
a Linux box, with a minimum of faffing around with drivers? Just one
line is needed, though in theory two might eventually be useful. My
usual white-box hardware suppliers don't seem to play in this field.

Also: I've heard good things about the PAP2T for getting analogue
handsets to talk to a VoIP server. But all the ones I can see on eBay
are PAP2T-NA models. Will these work with British handsets? (Obviously
with a plug adaptor to put the BT jack into an RJ11 socket, but that's
relatively easy to arrange.)
