 Trouble is you don't think as evil as some people do.

 It annoys the hell out of me too - I would love to spoof my cell

Not to not pick, but I think you went beyond what Andrew was  
saying... Misleading or inaccurate, I would read this to imply that  
I'm not miss leading you, I'm not providing inaccurate information
I am providing you with a means to contact me back.  I'm opening  
stating who I am and where you can reach me with no malitious  
attempt.  The Misleading or inaccurate part would encompass the  
scenario you
describe above.  Much the same the intention isn't to target  
corporate offices where employee's have DID's but their caller ID  
shows up as the trunk line which feeds to the building / company  
operator.  Now,
if I goto a provider and tell them my caller ID is the corporate  
number for Maytag and start calling people at 3am with is your  
refrigerator running that would count as Misleading :)

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk config files and #include

2007-06-21 Thread Bryan Laird
I don't have the source for 1.2.18 handy and didn't bother digging  
through my 1.4.4 tree looking but a quick grep for the
exact error you see didn't reveal anything... although i greped the  
typo in maaximum


However, correct that and that leads you to config.c
#define MAX_INCLUDE_LEVEL 10


I suspect if your nesting a lot of includes you would probably need  
to up this level.  I don't see a way to change this in asterisk.conf so
I would suggest if you really need to go that deep in includes edit  
this option re-compile and be happy.



 NOTE ***
This was in 1.4.4 maybe different in your version.  I'm also not  
qualified to say from a quick glance if upping this limit has any  
negative impact
but I would imagine it wouldn't and is more to help keep from  
causing loops.

Hi all,

I am using asterisk version 1.2.18.

I recently tried to change my asterisk configuration by using  
#include

statements to include other config files in my extensions.conf and
queues.conf files.

My queues.conf is in /etc/asterisk. It includes several files  
which are

in /etc/asterisk/queues. Each of these files contains the config of
individual queues.

Again each of the individual queue config files in /etc/asterisk/ 
queues

includes files which are in /etc/asterisk/queues/queue_members.

The problem is that when I reload this config I get the following  
error: -


*WARNING: Maaximum include level exceeded : 10*

Has anyone encoutered this before and does anyone know what it  
means ??


Any help will be deeply appreciated as I have been unable to find  
any

documentation on this.


Sounds like a circular include:

in extensions.conf:

  #include extensions.conf

The circle may include more than one file.

To trac this, enable debugging and debug logging. There is a debug
comment for each included file.

Unless you really have such a complex nesting structure of include  
files
and want that constant changed. That it easy to do by a code  
change. I
don't really see a reason to make this configurable, until someone  
shows

me a case where this does not indicate a circular include.

Hmmm... so should the error message be changed to:

*WARNING: Maaximum include level exceeded : 10. Check for circular
includes.*

?

Re: [asterisk-users] asterisk 1.4.1 app_addon_sql_mysql

2007-06-21 Thread Bryan Laird

I would first ask are do you have mysql client libraries installed
Do you have them installed in the standard locations... I tend to  
never install
anything in normal places for me it makes easier version control to  
put everything in specific places.



did you try just running ./configure and watch for the part about  
mysql libraries did it find them?
try just running make and see if the error gives you a bit more  
information about missing files.
if you get around just that you can simply copy the .so file to your  
asterisk directory but ofcourse it's got to compile first.

Re: [asterisk-users] DUNDi and reinvites...

2007-06-08 Thread Bryan Laird
I'm talking out my rear so someone please apply an attitude  
adjustment if I'm way off base.


But, if you are using Dundi as a lookup engine it should know the  
contact information both endpoints and how to reach them perhaps not  
ONLY knowing how to comunicate via another asterisk box.
Much like simply initializing a base dns infrastructure for the CPE  
devices.  If the CPE devices are configured to accept SIP  
transactions from $domain or both asterisk servers server A should be
able to send a invite directly to client B and bring up the inbound  
call.  As far as the client knows it's still

talking and placing outbound calls with server B.

IE:
Client A calls Client B
Client A hits Serv A.
Serv A does lookup finds it knows about Client B
Serv A sends the call direct to Client B's IP.

	I'm assuming that both servers are acting as mirrors of eachother,  
in that voicemail and all that is a //shared// resource.. so if  
Client B rings unavail/busy that your serv A knows
	what to do with the call.  In general as long as a client device  
knows to understand and accept sip messages from $host an inbound  
call does not have to come from the server they registered to.


	If you look at a linksys adapter this is one of the reasons they  
have that domain parameter which controls the list of hosts that  
are allowed to send SIP transactions to the unit.



Am I wrong on this?  The only other artifact I can think of is the  
fact of NAT traversal, where if client B that's to recieve the call  
is behind a NAT firewall and you are not doing port forwarding of the  
SIP signaling
then ofcourse it won't get the call because server A has not  
established the NAT association.  But assuming you are using a common  
'sbc' or gatekeeper (ser) that box would know the association and things

would be happy.

Re: [asterisk-users] wifi sip phone real-world experiences?

2007-06-04 Thread Bryan Laird

Right now I can only speak to the WIP300 but

I've been evaluating it for about a week now and really I have to say  
I'm fairly pleased.  It works it works //well// but that's not to say  
it's perfect.


 - Physically the phone feels very light and cheap, that if you were  
to drop it that it might not survive very many of them.  The buttons  
feel more

like a toy than anything else but once you get beyond that it works.

- Address book storage is ok the interface from the phone is fairly  
standard for what you would see in a cell phone and adding entries  
isn't really
all that horrid of a task.  You can also add entries via the web  
interface which does make for an easier way to add several entries  
but the lack of

anything resembling a 'sync' function could be considered bothersome.

- Call quality, so far so good however, I do believe the unit has a  
bit of an over touchy MIC.. the quality is clear but but it seems to  
pick up background
noise and white noise pretty good.  That's not to say that it will  
drown out your voice but you will hear the background if your in a  
server or climate controlled room.


- The CPU on the phone does appear to be a bit underpowered.  Two  
devices right next to each-other one a PC soft-phone and one the WIP  
300 using the 'qualify' feature
in asterisk you can clearly see a different in latency and how long  
it takes for the wip300 to process some sip transactions.  This  
doesn't effect call quality but it is something

worth noting if I'm taking the time to write this out.

- Firmware: when you get the phone if it's running anything  1.0.9  
upgrade to the latest from linksys, there are a slew of bugs that  
existing the factory shipping version that will
likely make you think you really got cheated if you don't upgrade the  
firmware.  Although make a note of the earlier thread upgrading has  
some bugs too, and don't try it form a mac.


- I haven't tried the email function, as lack of intelligent keying  
(adaptive text for word completion) to me makes this a worthless  
feature.


- Wireless, actually after changing to the latest version I've been  
fairly happy with the range coverage and life of the unit.  You can  
load in multiple profiles for which AP
you are talking to and the phone will register with that profile.   
You can associate different AP's with different SIP accounts which  
could be handy for traveling offices.  The
documentation doesn't mention it but you can create a profile that's  
a wild-card which will cause the phone to register to any open AP it  
finds.  This I've  found works fairly
well as well as I can go from the east side to the west side of the  
building and the unit will switch AP's without much trouble, but do  
expect a dropped call in the process.


If you have a mesh setup then the drop shouldn't happen but that's  
another story all together.


I haven't played with the various encryption options so far as I've  
only been evaluating based on open access points.  My thought is that  
likely the encryption may show
more with the CPU load depending on how the unit manages this with  
it's chip set but even at that I don't think it will cause any red  
alarms.  I could be wrong though.


Last thing, one neat thing about the wip300 if you are adventurous is  
the fact that the firmware is under GPL... so if you really felt like  
it you could probably change the behavior of

the phone.


Anyway sorry for the long message but I felt like chiming in on  
this.  All in all I don't think it's a horrible phone I do however  
think it's over priced for what it is but not enough demand on

this type of device is always going to keep the price up in the air.

Re: [asterisk-users] multiple host= in sip.conf

2007-05-30 Thread Bryan Laird
for inbound connections how does asterisk manage host=host-name  
returning multiple A records... will

it allow authentication for any of the IP's returned?

I would assume that in the case of 'inbound' if you specify a host- 
name that you have PTR records for you could do it in one entry

again I'm making a blind assumption.

IE say you 10.23.23.3, .4, .5 as his IP's
if you created entries either in your own dns or etc hosts (depending  
on os) you should be able to create entries
for each of his IP's all resolving to the same name... and then one  
entry ... for his transactions from him - you.
now the reverse of you - him you would in theory loose control over  
which host you send the call to but if he doesn't

care then it wold work...

and while this assumes you have no moral / security objection to  
using host-names.


someone would have to keep my honest here though as I haven't looked  
at where asterisk does the NS lookup and how those transactions work.
if it only read the conf file and did a translation at startup via a  
single lookup for host name then this  wouldn't work.

Re: [asterisk-users] Phone losing IP address for a few seconds but doesn't drop call

2007-05-18 Thread Bryan Laird
Does it loose it's IP address consistently and at a designated  
interval.  I've seen something similar in a number of various cases  
where it was always an issue
of the 'client' device blocking the DHCP renew traffic.  But when it  
went into rebinding it would drop $filter and allow the dhcp traffic  
back through.


I would say check to see if it occurs at a regular interval and  
compare that with the lease times.  Also consider it's sometimes a  
good idea if the phone supports it (I don't know if your does)
but setting up a cheap syslog host that can catch the syslog messages  
from the unit.  Some units will log why they dropped their network  
(ie dhcp) or something.


This was just a wild stab.

Apparently this is a router related issue. Its a D-Link DI-624

How can this issue be resolved. What are the reasons for losing

Re: [asterisk-users] CDR changes in 1.4.3?

2007-05-17 Thread Bryan Laird

snipped above and bellow

I did a quick search through the online forums for reference to CALEA  
and didn't see much,  What is the stance with asterisk and CALEA  
compliance.  My assumption is and correct me if I'm off base
it's a pbx box not an ss7 so any did's / npa-nxx are being delivered  
form a LEC.  That mean the LEC is required to be complaint however  
asterisk in it's own guts is not.  That being said if you were trying
to be compliant the solution would be a external device that one of  
the clearing houses can talk to and setup the monitoring.  Am I  
entirely off base here or am I looking at this the correct way?






From a billing standpoint no whats the point? For statistical
purposes
I think its useful. For VoIP serviceprovider also very useful
customer
probably wants full call logs. I don't think your idea is too much
CALEA-compliant either.


Viva la CALEA! OK. Forget the filtering. The Gov shall have  
everything.

Re: [asterisk-users] asterisk manager interface stability

2007-05-16 Thread Bryan Laird

why not do it via an snmp interface?

If you spend the time building an solid snmp base you would open up  
for an easier world of custom gui's as well as possibly some cleaner  
ties into an nms infrastructure.

The issue has more to do with the sheer amount of data passed to  
the client from within the Asterisk application when you have 50-100 
+ clients connected to the AMI on full output mode. Running a  
system with FreePBX/Trixbox especially generates vast amounts of  
output that has to be generated on every AMI connection for every  
client. This is not trivial and can result in lockups very easily,  
although this has gotten much better since the early 1.0 versions.


The new Asterisk Manager web API in 1.4 is a good step where  
sending of Actions does not require an actual Telnet conneciton to  
the AMI, but I think to be able to handle larger numbers of  
concurrent connections that a separate send-only and a separate  
receive-only type of interface be built where Asterisk would just  
output all AMI data to a single server-like application that would  
then broadcast it to all connected clients. This would remove the  
burden of so many connections going directly into Asterisk and  
would allow for much larger scaling of AMI-type applications that  
require real-time output of AMI events.


As for how to go about doing this, I can't help you there. I did  
build a very specialized version of something like this 4 years ago  
for the astGUIclient project called the Asterisk Central Queue  
System(ACQS) It is based on 1.0 Asterisk but it still works with  
1.2 and 1.4. It is limited in what it does, but it does scale much  
better than using direct AMI connections.

If it's not stable what needs to be done to improve this? What are  
the issues? What are the alternatives (eg is Adhearsion an  
alternative here)



I am about to start looking into a project that requires every user  
to have AMI access so looking to fund development in this space.

Subject: [asterisk-users] asterisk manager interface stability


There are many past posts stating that AMI is not stable when  
multiple client computers are allowed to connect, particularly when  
connections are dropped.



Has much progress been made on this? Is it more stable now than in  
the past?



As of what versions were these issues improved?


Is it feasible to connect a large number of windows computers  
directly to AMI for the purpose of initiating calls from software?

Re: [asterisk-users] Rapid DTMF missing digits

2007-05-12 Thread Bryan Laird
Yea that was my first guess until I saw the packet dump prove out  
that the ATA was transmitting it.  Eh, let me go searching through  
the bug lists see if I can find something in older versions.

I've able to replicate this from a few different client net
connections and a across a few different linksys ata's.  Where when
you call into the
host and enter the extension to connect to you miss the last digit of
the extension.  Almost every time you miss the last digit of the
extension
(in a 4 digit extension).  My suspicion is simply because of the
network we are currently using to host the asterisk box, as a packet
dump on the
lan segment clearly showed that the ATA transmitted all digits
(rfc2833) but the asterisk host only recieved 3 of the 4.  The second
you dial
slower everything works fine; also the lines for voice are clear
with no noticeable impairments.  I'm more curious if anyone else has
ever run
into a similar problem and what the resolution was if they found one
(IE a sturdier net connection for the asterisk host),  or Tweaking
the timers
on the ata's to slow down how fast and how long they transmit
digits.  I've done a few different tests and if I use a 'softphone'
dialing directly into
the server things work perfectly.  I can dial as fast as I want,
however when I come in through the pstn trunks through the upstream
provider I find this problem.

has anyone else ever seen this?  Or seen a case where mis-matched
dtmf modes across multiple providers causes this problem?

minor detail on what I referred to as the 'pstn trunks' I have no
analog or digital circuts all handoffs are sip.
