[asterisk-users] Moderated News Aggregation for Asterisk

2014-01-28 Thread Ben Merrills
Hi all. 

Just wanted to let people know about a small project I started over the weekend 
to help me keep up with news about Asterisk. http://asterisktimes.xdev.net/

Some of the other new sites are either not there anymore or slow to update, so 
I've come up with a different idea for keeping Asterisk news up-to date and in 
one place. For the moment, I call it Asterisk Times.

OK, so maybe not the best name, but it's a work in progress.

So what is it? Well, this is an attempt to create a moderated, aggregated news 
platform for Asterisk. We want developers, 3rd party companies, open source 
tools, in fact anyone who does anything noteworthy with Asterisk to tell us. 
And the best way to do it, is by letting us have an RSS feed into your own 
announcements or news.

With that, we can then review and submit news to the aggregator on your behalf, 
which then shows up on the homepage of this website.

I hope people see value in this, as I know I do. This isn't run for profit or 
commercial reasons, it's just because I think as a community we deserve a 
better, more frequently updated news site.

The URL will change (or at least get its own dedicated URL) once the project is 
off the ground and I can see people getting value from it.

Any suggestions or feedback welcome.

Thanks,

Ben (aka skrusty on irc)

[asterisk-users] Index of AGI Scripts

2013-09-12 Thread Ben Merrills
Hi, 

I wasn't sure quite where to inform people about this, but often I find it hard 
to find good AGI scripts written by the community, and voip-info is so often 
out of date. So I create a simple website for people to list their own, or 
freely available AGI scripts all in one place. 

http://www.theagigallery.co.uk

Any feedback would be welcomed at this time, improvements, issues, general 
comments etc as I am sure there will be plenty.

I've added some that I use and that I've found online already, but I would ask 
that others add any they know of too, and help build up a nice big free 
database of AGI scripts for the general Asterisk community.

Thanks, Ben

[Asterisk-Users] cdr_odbc with tds

2005-10-20 Thread Ben merrills

Does anyone know why, using latest cvs head, freetds 0.62.1-0 and
unixODBC, when running cdr_odbc, it says it's logged the call
successfully, however, when checking the table, nothing is there!

I checked through the bug tracker; and a problem very much like mine was
in there, with status resolved as of last year (1339).

Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Cheers,

Ben

Looks like a bug to me, I just took a look at cdr_odbc.c. I'm not a
specialist in ODBC, but what seems to me wrong is the module does INSERT
into the database, but does not make COMMIT.

In your queue entry, add the line

Dear Group,

I have the following requirement;

I would like our users to be able to press 0 while they are in a call

Is this possible?

[Asterisk-Users] Not a local SIP domain

2005-10-11 Thread Ben merrills








Just compiled from cvs head and enabled Real-time config



However, I now seem to have an odd problem, which I think
Ive tracked to a patch in CVS head that adds domain support to SIP (http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=4466).
The problem is as following: -





Every time a sip peer/friend attempts to register with
Asterisks SIP proxy, I get the following error on the console:



Not a local SIP domain



Has anyone else had this, and can anyone shed some light on
it? :s

The two phones I purchased had Application Load ID (AKA: firmware) of
P003AM30. This is their skinny protocol load. If you're trying to do
sIP, you need a load that starts out POS.. You can not upgrade
from
P00 to P0S, you need to downgrade to P0S30203 to get it
using
POS firmware, then you can upgrade to the newer releases of the
SIP
firmware, with one extra thing to know.

You do not need to step through every version of he firmware, you can
jump
versions of firmware, but what you encouter is the issue with their
signed
binaries (ie: *.sbn files) that they have converted to.

If you have both a *.bin and a *.sbn file in the TFTP server root
directory, it will default to loading the *.bin (ie: unsigned binary),
which you do not want to do, since you need to convert over to signed
binaries, in order to continue upgrading to get to the higher versions
which
only come signed. If you try to load higher version binaries that are
not
signed, the phone will fail to load and give an error as such (which I
dont
have the exact verbiage of).

So, bottomline, go down to SIP 2.3, then go up to the first signed
binary,
then go to the final signed binary, then you ought to be there.

[Asterisk-Users] RE: [Asterisk-uk] Meet

2005-03-22 Thread Ben Merrills
The feedback we are getting so far has been excellent! As more is
decided the list will be updated, if you'd like to be involved in
helping, please join us on the IRC channel, #asterisk-uk on
irc.freenode.net.

If your company would like more involvement with the event, please email
me directly. I would really like to hear from people/companies who would
like to: -

# Exhibit a product or service.
# Sponsor a specific area of the event or subject matter.
# Be involved in organizing attendees (other large companies,
manufacturers, telecoms providers, regulators, speakers etc).
# Give a talk or presentation - send me your suggestions, I'd like to
hear peoples ideas here! Join the IRC channel for information on ideas
in this area we've already had!

So far, we are looking at a room(s) at Pride Park Stadium in Derby
(Derbyshire), the stadium is very well located, with EMA only 20 minutes
away, M1 passing directly by (J23a  J24 (South), J28 (North)) and good
rail links (the stadium is opposite the station).

For those who are thinking of traveling, there is good accommodation,
however as more arrangements are made, all this information will be made
available.

Again, thanks to all who are offering their assistance, I look forwards
to hearing from you, and all being well meeting you soon.

Cheers,

Ben

What needs to be done to make this work? 

For me, this would be the only time we'd really use attended transfers,
on the way from an agent to either another agent, or a member of staff.
At the moment we have to make all transfers from agents (i.e. queue
calls) via blind transfer.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] queue log analyser?

2005-01-20 Thread Ben Merrills
I've not released the source yet, I asked last week on the mailing list for 
people to send me over some example queue_logs, because so far I've only been 
able to test the software against my own.

I have however made a lot of changes to it since last I posted about it. 

Template engine has been improved
Allows for recursion of a directory of templates
Allows for different output directories (so you can do a daily, weekly and 
monthly all from the same set of templates say)

And quite a few other bits

As soon as I get some sample data that people don't mind the results being 
posted for then I can show it off a bit more. Hope to get some sample data soon,

Cheers,

| At present it includes the following features:

| # Time periods - specify a period of days from the log which you

| Templating - allows the stats to be inserted into any html/text

| to give different information on different pages (quite flexible).
| # Specify start and end dates - similar to the first feature,

| last x number of days # Channels/Agents to names - simple text file
| allows you to specify a name, agent number and a channel - e.g.
| Ben, Agent/1, Sip/ben. This is then used in the output # instead
| of raw data # JPG graphs - includes a custom class to generate line
| graphs of information (e.g. hourly call volumes etc)
|
| What I want to know though is, what output people would like. At

|
| Agent overview includes: Calls taken, Average talk time

I really want a good queue_log analyser, but I don't want to waste

 Hi Bartosz,

 We have a commercial SS7 for Asterisk that is running at a few test 
 sites, and which we are just about ready to supply to a broader range

 commercially licenced copy of Asterisk. If this sounds interesting to

[Asterisk-Users] Queue Log Parser

2005-01-13 Thread Ben Merrills
I don't know if anyone noticed my post a few months ago on the
asterisk-user mailing list, but I've been writing a queue log parser. I
was wondering if anyone had any queue_logs (the bigger the better) that
I would use as sample data? I would of course be willing to post the
stats up for the people who send me their sample logs.

Post them to me off list, and please tell me if you are willing to have
your data posted (in stat form) for demo purposes.

I see a lot of people asking for asterisk and ss7. Just what exactly do
these people intend to use SS7 for? There are other platforms you can
buy
which do speak SS7 for not unreasonable money. Asterisk seems like it
might be the wrong place to be putting SS7.
  

For many people SS7 is simply a requirement they have no control over. 
Asterisk is a perfectly good platform for many SS7 users. You must be 
very rich of you think many SS7 solutions are not unreasonably priced. 
On the other hand, we have a very reasonably priced solution for SS7 on 
Asterisk :-)

RE: [Asterisk-Users] SS7 and Asterisk solution

2005-01-12 Thread Ben Merrills
We have the problem that our telecoms provider deals mainly in SS7 (C7,
and it seems most in the UK do). For us to take EuroISDN off them, with
the same features as SS7, we have to be put through a protocol
converter, now this isn't an issue for us, but it is for them.

Most UK phone companies (i.e. BT or the smaller regional carriers) all
use SS7, everywhere! For the most part they don't accept VoIP
termination (although I think BT might have some facilities for this).
So they very much try and push SS7 on interconnects.

And that's why SS7, for me (and I think for quite a few others taking
PRI style links in the UK) is so important.

 SS7 is the basis for the entire world's telephone network signalling.
 New forms which run over IP are being deployed. Even if the last
 remaining fragments of the PSTN are shut down, and everything on land
 lines is IP based, SS7 is still the core protocol for the cellular

[Asterisk-Users] (no subject)

2004-12-02 Thread Ben Merrills








Sorry to ask about this again, but Im trying
to get my head around a few things.



If a call is redirected from a PRI (quad e1) back out
into the PRI (same quad e1) what processes does asterisk undertake on the call?
Were getting terrible quality issues (and only with redirected calls).



Is the bridging done at the PRI interface level? Or
does this require that the call be constantly running through Asterisk? I.e.
would asterisk count for any of the quality issues? I noticed that CAPI had
some low level redirection instructions, does EuroISDN/E1 posses the same
qualities? 



Sorry if this is a bit confusing, just trying to get
my head round it myself!

[Asterisk-Users] Dropping incompatible voice frame

2004-11-17 Thread Ben Merrills
I keep getting console messages like the following:

Nov 17 11:22:33 NOTICE[16767]: channel.c:1320 ast_read: Dropping
incompatible voice frame on SIP/sipuser-5240 of format ALAW since our
native format has changed to ULAW

I think this is causing some incoming queue calls to ring on an agents
extension, however when they pick up the phone, no one is there and the
caller gets taken off onhold music, however they are still shown in the
queue (show queues).

Sometimes, after maybe 30 seconds the caller is bridged to the agent,
and sometimes the channel is dropped.

Anyone know why this might be happening?

All SIP phones are registered to use ULAW.

Cheers,

[Asterisk-Users] PSTN - Asterisk - PSTN Call quality

2004-11-15 Thread Ben Merrills








Hi there,



Having some issues with call quality when taking
calls from E1, using Asterisk to reroute the call back out onto E1. Sometimes
theres quite a big echo and others the line is just very scratchy. Call
quality for incoming calls to VoIP is fine. 



To redirect the incoming call I use an AGI that fires
off the Dial command to redial the extension back out over PSTN. Is this the
right way to redirect a call out over PSTN? Would doing this cause any kind of
call quality loss?



Cheers for any suggestions or help,

Hmm, 

When we first got our TE410p (we have 2 at the minute) it was in a
normal IDE ATA100 box with a P4, and the static on the line was really,
REALLY bad. We don't have this issue now we use a Compaq with SCSI,
unless we reroute the call back onto PSTN. It doesn't always happen I
might add though! It seems to be some landlines that have more problems
than others. Mobiles tend to be fine. Is this a Digital - Analogue
issue?

Strange that it should be fine the rest of the time :(

Yes, a hardware guide for Asterisk would be a god send! I'm getting two
new DELLs next week to play with (SCSI again). I'll let you know how
well they work with Asterisk!

I had (still have) the same problem. So far, I've found two possible

a) Get a new motherboard
b) Get a new motherboard and a new TE410p (instead of my current TE405p)

I am still suffering this problem since I can't really afford to buy a

 But if the agent does a consultive transfer, the queue system 
 thinks the agent still has the call and does not send anymore 
 calls to agent.
 
 Is there a work around to this?
 
 One is to use the blind (#) transfer, but that is less than 
 professional.
 
Check out bug 2460.  It adds attended transfers via '#'.  

http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0002460

Also, your agents could place the call on hold, call the person 
they are going to transfer the call to, announce the call, 
hangup, pickup the original call, then transfer via '#'.  It 
may sound complicated, but it works pretty well for us, and it 
allows the person recieving the transfer to let it go to 
voicemail or choose to answer it.

(Also, posted to the bug tracker.)

Hope this helps,

Logins and logouts are available within the engine, just need to
represent them in some way now. What do you suggest would be a good
format? Typical duration of login? Only problem might be where someone
hasn't logged out before their next login statement (no one here ever
logs out, because they're all to slack :)

Anything you can send me over would be much appreciated, I have no
problems in giving you a pre-release copy so you can give some feedback
too.

Very nice work Ben, thanks. Here are some additional thoughts -

One segmentation that might be useful would be to add outbound calling 
activities as a either a separate column or even view.

On agent stats, it would be useful to see login/logout stamps, login 
time, ready/not ready time (if this can be tracked, not sure).

If you would like, I can send you some example reports that are used in 
a typical call center, contact me directly if you would find that
helpful.

# Specify start and end dates - similar to the first feature, except
you
can specify a tight period from your log, not just the last x number of
days
# Channels/Agents to names - simple text file allows you to specify a
name, agent number and a channel - e.g. Ben, Agent/1, Sip/ben. This is
then used in the output #   instead of raw data
# JPG graphs - includes a custom class to generate line graphs of
information (e.g. hourly call volumes etc)

What I want to know though is, what output people would like. At the
moment there is an overview of all queues, which includes:

Total Calls, total connected calls, total abandoned calls, calls
abandoned within x seconds, calls exited with key press, Average hold
time, max hold time, average talk time

Agent overview includes:
Calls taken, Average talk time

Graph of call volume per hour of the day
Graph of call volume per day (over the period specified)

Runs under windows (.NET or mono required) or any other OS that support
.NET/mono (Linux, Mac, BSD etc)

Not really done anything like this before, so as much input as possible

Is there a way from the manager interface to obtain a listing of all the

Check out Action: QueueStatus - it'll list the stats for each queue as

[Asterisk-Users] FYI - Zoom X5v built-in VoIP DSL router

2004-10-11 Thread Ben Merrills








Just thought I would let the
list know, as we got our pre release versions today of the new Zoom X5 that
supports VoIP. The device comes with an RJ11 phone socket on the back and lets
you configure your ADSL router to become a SIP phone (using your existing PSTN
phone). Better still, it also allows you to switch the phone between landline
and SIP, and does it automatically for incoming calls.



No idea what the price of
these devices will be when they hit the shops, but setting one up today, if
anyone thinks it would be helpful I dont mind doing a little review of
the hardware once its tested.



Model Number is 5565



Cheers,

[Asterisk-Users] app_queue

2004-09-24 Thread Ben Merrills








Has anyone else experienced a problem with app_queue
where after a time, calls can still come into asterisk, but once they enter a
queue, they just get silence, any calls in the queue get frozen in it, and
never get sent to an agent, yet calls can be made in or out of the phone
system.



The other thing is, the CLI deadlocks. 



Anyone had anything like this before?

[Asterisk-Users] app_queue cisco transfer

2004-09-22 Thread Ben Merrills








There seems to be a bug in app_queue that prevents
calls from reaching agents. If a call is directed to an agent, and that agent
transfers the call using the transfer facility on Cisco phones (SIP firmware
7.2) then show agents shows the call still at that same agent. This prevents
calls from being sent to that agent for the duration of the transferred call!



Is this a bug in app_queue or something more
fundamental?

[Asterisk-Users] Broken sound in voicemail

2004-09-14 Thread Ben Merrills








Hi,



Been using asterisk for a little while now, but were
starting to notice that a number of voicemails left have very broken sound. Were
using a Digium Quad E1 card, we had some problems with broken audio at first
that turned out to be a problem with interrupts, however those issues seem to
have been solved. Yet we are getting broken sound in voicemail. Could this be
something to do with silence detection? Has anyone else experienced similar
problems?



Any help much appreciated,

RE: [Asterisk-Users] PRI issue

2004-09-08 Thread Ben Merrills
I think this issues stems from the (in my case) wct4xxp driver. When
updating libpri, I also updated zaptel, however, I'm unsure if I
installed it correctly (i.e. updated to the newly compiled version).

After stopping asterisk, doing rmmod wct4xxp, make install on zaptel and
then restarting asterisk, so far, it seems to be working.

I'm not 100% sure this is the problem, but it would seem this resolved
the issue... time will tell :)

Ben

I ran into a similar issue on the 8/31 cvs, except it was backwards.
Outbound calls would report a busy on the channel selected, yet a few
minutes later the channel would be used for an inbound call.  I had to
revert back to my previous checkout from 8/16 to resolve the issue.  The
problems didn't break the channels completely, it happened probably
every 5-10 minutes.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Static on outgoing calls using either X100P or TDM400P

2004-08-16 Thread Ben Merrills
Have you had a play with irqmasking on your drivers? Are they IDE
drivers? If so, try: hdparm -u1 /dev/drive

Do this for each of your IDE drives, this seems to have fixed a number
of peoples issues in the past.

Also, when you say nothing is sharing an IRQ, is this according to
proc/interrupts? Don't forget that unless the kernel has a driver for
the device, it wont show up in that listing. Double check using lspci -v

Apart from that, get a line test done. Your telcom provider should do
one at your request.

In the end I changed the box they were running in, and all was resolved.
Extreme I know, but it worked :)

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Static on outgoing calls using either X100P or

Hello.  I've seen several posts talking about line quality using Digium 
cards that are sharing IRQs or on machines where X is running but after 
trying all of those fixes I am still having a problem with line static 
on outoing calls.  BTW, calls that are from one extension to another 
extension have no static, however, they have occasional clicks and 
pops.  At any rate, I was wondering if someone might be able to help 
figure out how to fix this problem.

Here is some information about my setup:

Celeron 2.4Ghz w/ 256MB of Ram running Mandrake 9.2 with the 
2.4.22-36mdk kernel installed with X not installed.  This happens to be 
running on an Intel MB Model (D865GBF)

1 - X100P
1 - TDM400P configured with 4 FXO ports

each of these cards have their own IRQ.

I am running RC2 *, zaptel drivers, etc.

I've fiddled wit hteh tx/rx gain and have succeeded only in decreasing 
the volume of the static.

Any suggestions?

2004-08-16 Thread Ben Merrills








Hi,



How can I (through the manager interface) steal a
call from one phone, and transfer it to another? Does asterisk provide for actions
like this? Its a common action in Lucent systems it seems.



Cheers,



Ben








RE: [Asterisk-Users] Static on outgoing calls using either X100P or TDM400P

2004-08-16 Thread Ben Merrills
I'd just ask for an end to end test, and line survey if needs be. You
want them to be testing for static along the call route; your line might
in fact be a number of lines tagged together (for example if you have a
EuroISDN line).

Hello.  I've seen several posts talking about line quality using
Digium 
cards that are sharing IRQs or on machines where X is running but
after 
trying all of those fixes I am still having a problem with line static

on outoing calls. 

Apart from that, get a line test done. Your telcom provider should do
one at your request.

Any idea what you would ask the telco to test for? 

I too have seen tdm400ps stop working and output only static noise 
(requiring wcfxs module reload).  The solution to the problem is never 
the same.  Sometimes changing PCI slots, relocating the computer, using 
a noise reducing powerbar, even changing computers completely.  In all 
cases, I'm not 100% confident that the problem has been resolved for
good.

If there is a phone-line condition that will trigger the tdm400p driver 
to go into this non-functional state, I'd love to know what it is, and 
how to test for it.

Thanks

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Static on outgoing calls (Quad E1)

2004-08-13 Thread Ben Merrills
Just FYI,

It turned out that the problem was a simple one, but not something you'd
expect to be a big issue these says (with ACPI etc): IRQ sharing. There
was an onboard gfx card using IRQ 11, the same IRQ as the digium card.

lspci -v 

showed the true story, even though

cat /proc/interrupts

didn't. Hope that helps anyone else out there with similar issues.

Cheers,

Ben

Calls that go out of your Asterisk get routed one way in the PSTN jungle

and calls coming to you probably get routed another way.  Thats is one 
way to explain why there is bad audio on outgoing calls and good on

It's rather confusing...

[Asterisk-Users] Static on outgoing calls (Quad E1)

2004-08-11 Thread Ben Merrills








Hi,



I have a problem with a Digium quad E1 card. It seems
when I make outgoing calls to any party, when that person talks on the line,
they hear scratching and static (theres also background static, but less
of it). The person making the call from asterisk (via the E1) doesnt
hear any of this. Ive done things like turned off irqmasking on the IDE
drives in the machine, which had no effect it would seem.



Has anyone come across an issue like this before?
This doesnt happen on incoming calls to the Asterisk box! On incoming
calls, both parties hear excellent quality audio.



Here is a copy of my zaptel.conf and also a copy of Zapata.conf



Ive had a line test done by our PRI provider;
they cant see any faults on the line. And only span1 is active at this
time.



Hope someone has had a similar problem,



Cheers,



Ben

I had a similar issue before, but it was with a T100P connected to an
Adtran TA750.  The phones we were using were Polycom SIP IP 500 phones.
What we did (and anyone of these could have resolved it) was got Polycom
to send us new Power of Ethernet injectors.

We also cleaned the wiring up from the POTS lines to the Adtran.  Then
from the Adtran to the T100P.

We also, moved the server off of a Batery backup (cheapo) that seemed to
be semi related.  When we moved it onto the cheapo battery backup, we
started noticing the static.

So anyone of those seemed to resolve it.  We also moved echo
cancellation
off of * onto a Tellabs box, and are much happier with the performance
and
cancellation.

Best of both worlds I guess.

Thanks,

Brent

[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 NAT question

2004-07-08 Thread Ben Merrills
I've got 4 Cisco 7960's and they're behind a firewall (sonic wall). The
asterisk box is on a WAN connection on the other end of a DS3, the
phones connect fine to the Asterisk server as you can see from the
output of show sip peers below.

tp3/tp3  firewall-ip D   N  255.255.255.255  60665
Unmonitored
tp2/tp2  firewall-ip D   N  255.255.255.255  60646
Unmonitored
tp1/tp1  firewall-ip D   N  255.255.255.255  60649
Unmonitored

Now, the Cisco phones are set to use nat (nat = 1) and in the SIP
configuration, the phones are also configured for SIP.

[tp1]
type=friend
secret=tp1
host=dynamic
nat=yes
callerid=Test Phone 1

I can make calls out over the phones, but can't get anything back in. If
I call voicemail say, then that's fine. But if I try and call another
phone behind the firewall, it just sits there :/

IS there a specific port range I need to open? Should I be using a
different sip config?

Cheers for any help,

Ben

[Asterisk-Users] Meetme Options (new one)

2004-05-24 Thread Ben Merrills








Is it possible to select the audio stream thats
played as a user enters a meetme conference? 



If you could, it would be very simple to record a users
name, and then play that as the greeting to other attendees as they join the
conference.



If not, could someone tell me how hard it would be to modify
the source? I presume at the moment the file to be played it stored in a var
somewhere, is it simply a case of allowing MeetMe() to accept another param, which
could be the audio stream?



Cheers,

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Error compiling Zaptel

2004-05-11 Thread Ben Merrills








Do you have a symlink in /usr/src as
follows?



lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src 20
May 7 11:01 linux - kernel-source-2.4.18



(note that it may differ depending on the
kernel source you have?)



If youve installed via an apt style
package manager, and havnt recompiled your kernel, then visit www.kernel.org, download a stable kernel (I recommended
2.4.26).



Extract it to
/usr/src/linux-kernelnumber



Then create a symlink ln s /usr/src/kernel
source /usr/src/linux



This should resolve the issues youre
having there, else Ive missed the point and just waffled for 5 minutes
;)



Hope that helps,

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Rhetorical Systems

2004-05-10 Thread Ben Merrills
I took a look at their site and played some of the demo's - can I have
any comments from Asterisk users? How did they get on with it and what
is the general opinion of the quality etc?

This will be used for a major service line that reports faults and
outages across a network.

Kind Regards,

Ben Merrills

I
think integration of this would be a very good move tho.  Quite frankly
Rhetoricals tts is the best I've heard so far.

Try www.cepstral.com  They have a wide range of voices, runs on both
Linux and Windows, and is US$30 for the non-development version.

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Rhetorical Systems

2004-05-10 Thread Ben Merrills








Has anyone tried integrating Asterisk and Rhetoricals
rVoice software? Were evaluating different approaches to system
announcements via T2S. Has anyone gone down this route that could give some
advice?



Ive installed festival and wasnt too
impressed, the demo one the website seems far better quality and clarity then
the defaults in the source package. However I must admit Ive not yet
figured our how to change the voice, and Im sure the quality could be
improved on (in which case, does anyone know how to switch to the Male British
voice?)



Any advice or guidance here would be greatly appreciated.

[Asterisk-Users] A few questions

2004-04-21 Thread Ben Merrills








Hi,



I have a couple of questions about MeetMe and call queues. Im
still pretty new to Asterisk, but already having to write a Service Center call
manager for it (which I might add, our director has agreed to make open
source!).



MeetMe:

 

How can I get MeetMe (does it even do this) to ask the user
to speak their name first, and play that as the new member announcement. It
seems like a common feature in most hardware PBX systems weve used that
support Call Conferences.



Has anyone found a way of doing this? Is there an
alternative to MeetMe that would support this feature (thats as good if
not better?).





Queues:



Im running the 1.0 stable from the cvs server, and Ive added the queue status
announcement directives to the queues.conf 
yet asterisk gives me the following errors:



Apr 21 11:22:58 WARNING[950286]:

These directives I found in the asterisk wiki!
