Re: [asterisk-users] Confbridge GUI?
Interesting. Are you using the included cbend.php script to terminate conferences? I occasionally get questions about using WMM with Confbridge, and to date I have not had an answer . If you can provide details, even vague ones, about how you did it, I can update the WMM package.

AFAIK it's a dead-end. The ooh323 channel has been fairly reliable in our use case, which involve connecting to a commercial IP PBX with crud SIP support. Only you can tell if it will work for you however, as sadly many times new core features only get tested against the SIP channel(s), or worse only implemented there as well.

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco IP Phones and Skinny in asterisk
You do not need sccp.conf if you are not using chan_sccp. It has different features(bugs) than chan_skinny, but yes it would also reset the phones (if it supports reload, and I have no idea if it does). Also if the phone is in a call it will not reset until after the user hangs up. Reloading the channel triggers a soft reset that causes the phone to request its configuration, which may have changed.

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco IP Phones and Skinny in asterisk
The Asterisk version is 1.8.3.2 The Cisco IP Phone is 7942G and it is running now skinny. The used TFTP is tftp-server which is installed in fedora. I placed the following two files (but look like it was not taken from the TFTP, as nothing appeared in the messages), but I am able to to ping from the asterisk box to the vlan that the Phone is connected, so no problem in the reachability: SEPB8BEBF22AB62.cnf.xml xmlDefault.CNF.XML Are the files name correct? Or the Cisco IP Phone 7942G are not working fine with Asterisk or the tftp-server? Cisco has changed the file name format a few times, so you may want to copy xmlDefault.CNF.XML to XMLDefault.cnf.xml The more important steps is how have you configured the phone to locate the TFTP server? Are you using option 150 in DHCP, or manually setting the TFTP server address on the phone. Technically you do not need a TFTP server, since the Skinny phones will try to use the TFTP server address for registration, so you can just set that address to point to your asterisk server. A TFTP server is needed if you want custom ringtones or to manage software updates. For small setups or my home, I skipped setting up the TFTP server until I wanted to update the phone firmware.

Re: [asterisk-users] The new ConfBridge application is now in Asterisk Trunk!
Richard wrote: No, conference scheduling is not a feature that we have built directly into ConfBridge, and I'm debating on what it would look like. Scheduling isn't built into MeetMe either, but the fact that it dynamically reads from a database means that you can write external programs (such as Web-Meetme) that create conferences that MeetMe can read. For me, in order for ConfBridge to be at all interesting, it needs the same functionality. In the context David is referring to, yes scheduling is in MeetMe. Web-MeetMe is used to maintain/manipulate the database that MeetMe reads. Prior to 1.6.1.7 the scheduling logic was in an out of tree application that would validate the conference details and pass control to app_meetme. Ending a conference depended on a relatively unreliable PHP script. The RealTime/Scheduling features trickled in during the early 1.6 releases, with 1.6.1.7 being the first release with all of the basic features need to work with Web-MeetMe. I recommend 1.6.2 or 1.8 for use with Web-MeetMe. David- I have been watching the announcements about the new ConfBridge with mixed feelings. I am excited about the new mixing options and profiles, and dreading the flood of 'When will you update Web-MeetMe to support ConfBridge?' questions. If it had at a minimum the option to use RealTime to override pins and start/end time logic, I would likely have a version supporting ConfBridge and profiles during 1.10 RC timeframe. As it stands I am not planning to go back to using pre/post-call processing for scheduling in WMM. I've started and deleted this message several times since the first announcement, as it almost always reads as an ultimatum and it is absolutely not meant to be. I really do think it represents a major leap forward in Asterisk conferencing. I simply feel I must let the WMM users know that support for it is highly unlikely. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] Adaptive CDR and default fields
I'm running 1.6.2.13 and need to record a small number of custom values use cdr_odbc and cdr_adaptive_odbc, and only the custom fields. The good news is that the custom records are being stored in the database as desired. The bad news is that I get three sets of warnings/notice about 'SQL Exec Direct failed' and dropping then reconnecting the database handle. I traced the SQL calls and found these occur when the CDR engine attempts to record all of standard CDR fields. The cdr_adaptive_odbc documentation suggests that it is safe to drop the standard fields, and while my system does continue to function the dropping of the db handle and extra logging is annoying. Have I missed an option to disable recording the standard CDR fields? Dan -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Manmohan wrote: I commented locale.php in defines.php and it perfectly worked well. Now i am wondering what is this invite participants for, while adding conference. wherein it asks for first name, lastname, emailaddress telephone number.. The 'Invite Others' option is mostly for installs that do not have a consistent e-mail environment, and are using the SERVER mailer. This feature lets the server send invite emails to multiple parties. In my environments we have Exchange and Outlook, so I prefer the CLIENT mailer, and I can manage the invitations in my mail client Let me brief you how i had done this setup. I had created a SIP trunk between Cisco Call manager and Asterisk server. And i am using webmeetme for Audio conferencing. Sounds familiar. I put this package together after wasting too much money and time trying to make an expensive Cisco conferencing solution work. Other than the invite participants, while the conf call is going on we get couple of more options, when we click to the current ongoing conference number. End call -- To end the conference call Yes Extend -- I am sure this is to extend the time of the call for which its scheduled for, but not sure on how much time does it extends by default OR is there any way to define the customized time on whatever required. 10 minutes is the default. I thought I had made it configurable in lib/defines.php, but no I have it hard coded in conf_add (to be fixed in the next release now). You can search for +600 and change it to any value you like. Invite-- When i click this button it asks me telephone number. I assume this is any number which asterisk server can reach as per the dialplan configured in extension.conf in /etc/asterisk.. Though this invite button looks pretty much interesting to use but whenever i enter any phone number it says System error not sure if am understand this wrongly. You understand it correctly, but the default settings are likely not working. Check out the section 'Outcall defaults' in lib/defines.php. It is likely you need to change the OUT_CONTEXT at a minimum. Dan -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Unfortunately i couldnt see this speaker icon to hear this recorded conference .wav file. I am not surprised. By default MeetMe creates unique file names by appending pin-uniqueid, but uniqueid is not know until the conference starts, so the web interface does not know what to look for. Part of the changes to app_meetme included setting the realtime filename to use. I tried to download the .wav file into my windows machine and the filed played well.. like i mentioned in my earlier mail that following line i had added in lib/define.php, please correct me if i am wrong: define (RECORDING_PATH, /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/conf-recordings/); Do you think This recording path is taking the effect here? That setting effect where the WMM interface looks for recordings and not where Asterisk puts them. Looking back at your email history, I see you are on 4.0.1. After all of the suggestions, I remembered that I too found problems with recordings and addressed them in 4.0.2 That version adds a field to the database and stores the recording names in the database. I recommend using that version instead of 4.0.1. You can move your copy of lib/defines.php to the 4.0.2 install and keep your changes.

The web interface cannot find the recording. The reason it cannot is that the name is wrong. By wrong, I mean it contains information that the database and program is not aware of (1280463795.8). To make this clear, if this conference was the 3rd one you ever scheduled on this system the correct file name would be- meetme-conf-rec-74438-3.wav using the format meetme-conf-rec-%PIN%-%BOOKID%.wav The database knows the pin and bookid, so it can construct the file name and test if it exists. Do you say that if i shift from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 will fix the issue (of getting speaker icon in past conference)? I was not able to get the change into app_meetme to use the bookid in the filename, even though it has access to bookid. I gave up and now store the filename in the database, which app_meetme will use if it exists. Other that a handful of bug-fixes, this is the major difference between 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 Dan -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

I should point out that the default settings in WMM is only to present the recording checkbox with the admin pin field. It is a fairly simple edit to add the recording checkbox to the user pin (and these options apply if no pin is set).

Jonathan wrote: I've managed to acquire a few Cisco handsets (7905, 7920) and would like to use them with Asterisk. Rather than simply switching to the SIP firmware I thought I'd use these with chan_skinny - partly because this is Cisco's primary firmware and therefore the phones might be more stable, and partly to help test chan_skinny as it seems to be generally underused. (Is functionality identical across both firmwares?) However, I've come across a couple of showstoppers and am not really sure where to go from here. I've raised bugs for both of them (#17680, #17692) and had no response so far - have I perhaps overestimated how much chan_skinny is in use these days, or do I need to follow another route? The problem in 17680 has been worked on a couple of times and I believe the issue is not actually in chan_skinny, although it seems easiest to trigger from that channel. I had thought that the problem described in 17692 had also been put to rest, but the more I think about it, I seem to remember a potential fix was deferred pending a re-write of the subchannel handling code. I'll dig around in my archives to see if I can find my old patches for either of these. I'm not an Asterisk developer but am happy to spend some time this week resolving the problems. Unfortunately I need the phones next week, so may have to end up taking the defeatist approach of switching to the SIP firmware :( Regardless of whether the fixes were available, there is no way they would be reviewed, merged and released within the next week...

Months go by without a single Web-MeetMe question, and as soon as I stop watching email a bunch show up... As was discovered, the app is compiled separately from Asterisk. Due to changes in the AMI interface over the years, there will soon be three versions of WMM- 2.X for Asterisk 1.2 (largely unmaintained, but problem reports are rare) 3.x for Asterisk 1.4 4.X for Asterisk 1.6 (recommend 1.6.0.7 or 1.6.1 or newer) Starting in 1.6 the scheduling logic that was in app_cbmysql is now native to app_meetme when using RealTime, so app_cbmysql has not been updated for 1.6. I need to get 4.X released. I normally like to run a new release in house for a couple of months before release, but between the surgery and changes at work it is not likely to happen. The good news is that the 4.X release has less to test since the scheduling logic moved into app_meetme, so I just need to confirm that nothing is seriously broken in the UI.

I added the scheduling and resource limit features, and the option to store the conference flags in the database table. You will want to understand the basics of Asterisk's RealTime features to get started. Basic support for RealTime conferences can be had by using the database table defined in contrib/scripts/meetme.sql The scheduling features require a more complex database table that I was sure that I included in the contribution, but I do not see it in SVN. The correct db table is available in the Web-MeetMe package, which is a front-end to manage the database and active conferences. It is hosted at https://sf.net/projects/web-meetme I am behind schedule to release a package for 1.6.1, and I need to submit the database table to Mantis so it can be added to future release packages.

Re: [asterisk-users] Can Asterisk bridge between a SIP client and a Cisco Call Manager server?
Shocky wrote: This is probably outside what Asterisk is intended for, but I'm hoping it can help. I need to make and receive calls through a Cisco Call Manager server that I have no control over. I have to use a Cisco soft phone (Cisco IP Communicator), which only runs on Windows. But I'm on Linux. CCM is apparently capable of supporting SIP and H.323 interfaces, but they won't provide this option for me. Right now I'm using a VMWare XP guest to run the soft phone, but this is painful (especially with some VPN complications thrown in). It maybe a small nuance, but as a CCM administrator I can understand the refusal to support a roaming H323 or SIP endpoint on CCM. Perhaps if your asterisk box was not mobile, the CCM admins would consider a H323 trunk to your system? I've read that Asterisk supports SCCP, at least somewhat. I'm wondering if I could set up Asterisk on my desktop machine to route calls between a SIP client such as Kphone or Ekiga and the CCM server. Would this be possible? The SCCP support in Asterisk is currently limited to asking as a SCCP server, not as an SCCP client. So you cannot use Asterisk to register as a phone to CCM. The SCCP protocol does have a 'trunking' mode, but Cisco barely uses it themselves, and it is geared to low density situation, two-four channels. I am not aware on any effort to duplicate that in chan_skinny. It is conceivable that chan_skinny could be taught to emulate a Cisco endpoint (7965 for example), but the end result would be of limited value. It would have a limited number of lines/channels and the protocol in this use model would not support passing destination information, so it would require a 1-to-1 mapping of a CCM extension to an Asterisk extension. I heard that one of the problems in interfacing with CCM over SCCP is the use of proprietary codecs. Would this be a problem in my case? Not quite true. SCCP is a proprietary protocol, but the codecs supported match well with what Asterisk offers, at least the codecs you would likely choose to use. If there's a chance it can be made to work, I'll give it a try. If I'd be wasting my time, please let me know. There is a chance, but it depends on working with the CCM admins and how willing they are to create a one-off configuration for you...

Valid username w/invalid password - block after x attempts It supports white-listing so that a slip of the finger does not lock you out from a trusted host. The setup is fairly simple and system load is minimal. The package works by parsing syslog messages, and it appears that it could be extended to cover VoIP attacks, as long as the system is logging failed authentication attempts.

Often times, at least in my experience, if not specified, they will only send the last four providing there are no conflicts. They should be able to send however many digits you require, but maybe they wont. I have found that each telco, and in fact each CO, may have a different practice for how many digits they send. If you have a good sales person when you place the order you can specify, or at least they will provide that information. If you have an uninformed sales person, the engineer who sets up you circuit can usually provide that. If you end up with uninformed sales and engineering personnel, then it is time to test and debug. After dealing with telcos in China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, India, Israel, Germany, The Netherlands and the USA, I have found *1* telco that provided all of the circuit details in advance without asking. Most will tell you they are using the standard values, but have no idea what those values are. Here is my check-list I ask for on new orders- Linecoding (If E1 I also ask if G.703 or not) Framing Switchtype Digits sent/outpulsed Digits expected (City or local code required?) Some telcos have been willing to change the number of digits sent, but I usually just rewrite the received number to prepend the missing digits. It is a little more work for me, but it reduces the chance that future maintenance by the telco will revert the circuit back to their normal values and bust inbound calls.

Re: [asterisk-users] changing the size of voice packets
John Todd wrote: There was discussion recently (on -dev? on -users? on IRC?) about how there are some shortcomings on RTP packetization/transcoding. It appears, though I have not confirmed this, that trying to move a 20ms G.711 stream from a client, though Asterisk, to a remote gateway using 40ms G.711 will NOT work correctly. The 20ms packet size is passed through without aggregating to 40ms, or vice versa - no change in packetization (though I don't know which side takes precedence.) Going the opposite directon for dis-aggregation (which is what you want to do) I assume would fail in similar ways. I don't recall if changing the codec made any difference on the packetization between two bridged channels. In the past (trunk pre-1.4 and 1.4) both handled aggregation properly, with one important caveat: 1. The media actually flows through Asterisk (no RTP re-invites) If the media is re-invited, it is up to the clients/peers To honor the packetization the remote end requested. If the media is not reinvited and is 100% compatible, codec and packetization, it will go through the packet-to-packet bridge. At one point the P2P bridge did not know about packetization differences and would just relay the RTP packets. I believe that was fixed a long time ago. For what it's worth, 10ms is the maximum rate for most codecs. This creates twice as many packets as 20ms, three times as many as 30ms, etc. - hopefully your network hardware has sufficient power or your call volumes are reasonably low so as not to produce an overwhelming number of Packets Per Second (PPS). Decreasing sampling interval also gets you closer to reaching your NIC's threshhold of PPS, which often is not huge. I seem to recall asking the person who reported that to open a bug in Mantis, but I can't find it, though I didn't look exhaustively. If you can verify this and/or it's relevant to you, please open a ticket so that it at least will be reviewed.

Re: [asterisk-users] CCM and multiple trunks
Aaron wrote: Okay, another Cisco related issue (sorry!). Single Asterisk box at location 1. Single Cisco box at location 2, however the Cisco is also the PBX for location 3 (same physical machine, calls routed via VoIP). Trying to have Asterisk be able to call EITHER Call Manager location. The single SIP trunk in CCM (version 6.1 mind you) only allows a single device pool to be selected. So configuring calls to one location...no problem. One location at a time that is. All you are missing is a translation of CCM terms into Asterisk concepts. A CCM Device Pool is similar to a context, a logical grouping Of devices. CCM extends the concept in that Device Pool membership controls/aids device provisioning. There is one major difference, and that is membership in a common Device Pool DOES NOT mean devices can call each other. Call 'routing' is handled by Calling Search Spaces. You want to have a CSS that included both locations Device Pools and assign that CSS to the trunk. The major caveat there is that the two locations should have non-overlapping dialplans. If they do overlap, you will need Translation Patterns, which can strip/prepend digits and be configured to search a different CSS If I want to be able to call the 3rd location I have to select a separate device pool and restart the trunk. Then calls to the 2nd location stop working. Multiple trunks in CCM doesn't appear to fix the issue, and creating multiple SIP profiles isn't permitted apparently. Any thoughts?

As Peder mentioned, Unity is only a VM platform. I actually started using Asterisk to replace a Cisco Conferencing package that never worked right. We have had it running internally for three+ years now, and have been very happy with the results. I am currently using chan_ooh323, but SIP is possible if you have CCM 4.2 or higher.

Lacy's response in the thread 'Why does everyone seem to dislike *now?', has a small bit that caught my eye. Chan_Skinny made a lot of progress between 1.2 and 1.4, and even more in the later 1.4.X releases. I am curious as to which features/functions that chan_skinny might be lacking compared to chan_sccp. We (the community) now have a small, but active, group of volunteers working on the chan_skinny code. I'm not interested in re-igniting the flame-wars of the past about these channel drivers, but I would like to know what else needs to be addressed in chan_skinny before it users of chan_sccp would consider using it.

Not unless someone wants to add support for it in the SIP channel, which I doubt. I would be more than willing to provide the SIP messages that a CallManager sends to accomplish it though. Localization with CCM happens when the phone boots. The initial TFTP config download (xml or older .cfg) includes a setting to identify the local, which then TFTP downloaded. Setting up the initial config file (xml or older .cfg) is not difficult, but without copies of the localization files on your TFTP server, it will not help much. With the localization files, the channel driver can send the button templates and the phone will display the localized version of the button(s).

RE: [asterisk-users] SIP Echo
Alex wrote: I tried with the ping ... all of the phones respond in ca. 0.3ms, so network seems to be OK. More than 90% of CPU on * box is idle even in peak times, so this shouldn't cause echoes either, right? Hmmm, so handset could be an issue, but did anyone ever experience any handset problems with Polycom IP SoundPoint 430 :-) ? I will check the headsets and any possibilities of acoustical echo. Besides that, if we rule out the network, and the CPU on the * box, is there anything else that could be causing echoes on internal SIP calls? As others have pointed out it is highly unlikely that a network issue is the source of the problem (unless the phone's firmware has a MAJOR bug). Acoustic issue is 99.9% likely to be the cause, but is can be less than obvious why. A certain vintage of Cisco phone firmware would introduce echo when the headset/handset/speaker volume was set above 65~75%. I spent about 6 months chasing that one on and off. After Cisco fixed that, then next two common causes were: 1. Enclosed offices/conference rooms without acoustic treatment 2. 3rd party amplified headsets (Echo was only one symptom of this one and not a common one, but it did happen) Some phones deal with item 1 better than others. last ditch efforts to fixup a room that a phone has problems with would include wall hangings, or even a cloth place mat (don't use the wife's Holiday mats) under the phone if the echo is most common on speakerphone calls. I've often wondered why phone designers put the mic on the bottom front of so many phones, where it is most likely to get acoustic reflection off the table/desk surface... Oh, one more cause that is a bear to correct. After first switching to the new system, my users felt the need to yell at their phones. Maybe a byproduct of poor experience with cell phones, which is how they expected the new phones to work like. Getting the yellers and loud talkers to bring it down a notch also helped.

The same is valid for the Extend button - it works, but from the user prospective, nothing happens - I would expect some dialog box like The conference # has been extended by 10 minutes.

Where do I take the name of the called person (the equivalent of CALLERID, but the other way...)? Short answer is that you cannot. Longer answer is that it is possible, but requires new functionality to be added to the core and a new API call be added that can check if the called party is a local endpoint and retrieve the caller-id values. At least that was what I found when working on the patch. If anyone knows a way to lookup a peer/friend from the dialplan and collect such details, it would be possible to use the existing patch without any more changes in the core.

RE: [asterisk-users] Display Caller ID of called party
Alex wrote: It seems to me that what you are really talking about is manipulating the display features of the phone. Caller ID is unlikely to have this effect as the phone does not consider the From: URI in the SIP header unless the call is of an incoming nature. This feature is often referred to as 'Called Party Identification'. There is a patch on the bug tracker that implements it for chan_sip and chan_skinny. The solution to this is bound to be proprietary to the phone in some way or another--if there is one. I just wanted to point out that the mechanism for its delivery would almost certainly not be caller ID. Semi-proprietary. A good number of SIP endpoints support it. SCCP endpoints support it, and in theory some H323 endpoints support it. Of course, you COULD always set your dial plan in such a way that it never actually completes the outbound call leg, but instead hangs up, and then dials it, and rings you back (with the caller ID of the intended incoming leg). The current patch in the bug tracker does require dialplan edits. Deeper changes would be required in Asterisk to allow it to lookup a called party to see if it was a local extension and use its caller-id for this.

One of the suggestions that came out of that thread was to replace routers at users' premises with ones that support QoS. Sangoma S518 (internal PCI) on a Linux box with iproute2/iptables/tc or BSD with pf. These are the best solutions, IMO. I was just about to reply with the same recommendation. A SFF chassis with 2 PCI slots could host one S518 and a PSTN interface. These units typically have built-in ethernet and some have built-in wireless. I still have my fingers crossed that Sangoma will offer an ADSL daughercard for the A200. That would make for a perfect combination in a SFF chassis... The latest Linux kernels also have SIP connection tracking/matching, so it should be possible to mark packets and prioritize based on iptables matching. I have not done this just yet, as the latest 2.6.20/2.6.21 kernels do not play nice with the wanrouter drivers. (note: there was a recent patch to 2.6.20.4 which apparently has much better SIP matching, and has been tested successfully with Asterisk. I have not tested it yet, and the iptables guys have rejected the patch as their direction for packet matching is shifting significantly in the near future. It can be found at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.firewalls.netfilter.devel/18 860.) I'm still looking for a miniPCI ADSL chipset that Linux can use, or an actual raw ADSL non-PCI chipset that I can design into an embedded system. If anyone has any leads, please don't hesitate to contact me! Good luck and let us know if you find one. The manufacturers of the XDSL chipsets seem to be even worse than the video card companies when it comes to OSS. There's a project on SF called OpenADSL that was working to make common XDSL chipsets work under Linux. The project appears almost dead with a developer post every 6~8 weeks, but that might be a good place to start Looking. If you're curious, I have my rc.tc script for Linux up on http://mixdown.ca/~andrew/rc.tc. It's loosely based off of wondershaper, but works much better, IMO. It does host-based prioritization for VOIP, puts mail just underneath bulk traffic, and P2P beyond that (if you have the p2p connmark stuff set). I can completely saturate DSL links with the S518 with this config without appreciable VOIP degradation. I'm using something similar. The missus can talk to her mother (in rural Japan) over IAX while I am using a IPSEC tunnel to work, and doing heavy downloads. Even without an S518, this script works well with external ADSL/cable modems. You may have to play with the upload rate; some cheap ADSL modems will start blocking your upstream traffic beyond as little as 50% of the upstream rate. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

The feature originally was based on SVN trunk when it was still close to 1.2, but I would not want to try to backport and support it.

[asterisk-users] [Announce] Web-MeetMe V3.0.1 released
Minor bug-fix release, no new functionality. Bugs fixed: * app_cbmysql would fail to load * Incorrect handling of recurring conferences that spanned a DST transition Minor cleanup: * A couple image files were duplicated with both upper and lowercase names. The uppercase variants were deleted and the HTML code cleaned up to use just the remaining files. The new release can be found at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/web-meetme/ We do have a volunteer developer who will be maintaining the 2.X.X chain for Asterisk 1.2.X compatibility, so bug fixes and features that are not Asterisk version dependant will still be made available for older installations. The 2.X.X chain does not have the problem with app_cbmysql, but may suffer from the DST transition bug.

RE: [asterisk-users] Fax with T.38

We have Asterisk servicing clients behind NAT (with nat=route, canreinvite=no) and would love to get T.38 going but have had no luck so far. The following case: http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=7844 Authoritative? Nope. But I'll try to help anyways... 1. t38pt_udptl must be set to yes in [general] in sip.conf ...suggests that T.38 *does* now work for clients behind NAT but I have the latest SVN trunk but still cannot get it to work? On the other side I have seen on this list only 2 weeks or so ago: http://www.mail-archive.com/asterisk-users@lists.digium.com/msg172556.ht ml This suggests that T.38 does *NOT* work behind NAT? So, can anybody save me the trouble and tell me how it is. Am I on a hiding to nothing trying to get T.38 going with NAT? Please put me out of my misery! :) Part of an age old issue that doesn't bear repeating, but is also not terribly accurate or relevant. Cheers, Ray Capture a debug log of a failed T.38 session and post it on Mantis. Make sure to set: core set verbose 4 core set debug 4 sip set debug Testing and (what little) feedback the developers have received indicate that it SHOULD work with the latest SVN. PS. Does anybody know whether OpenPBX would support T.38 and NAT configurations? This was my backup plan if I couldn't get it to go in Asterisk. No idea.

The code attempts to determine if the config file was successfully loaded, and only then load the module and register the application. That is all fine and well, except I failed to properly flag a successful config load. How it ever worked for me, I don't know, but here is a quick fix: Find this section of the code- ast_log(LOG_NOTICE,Successfully connected to MySQL database.\n); connected = 1; records = 0; connect_time = time(NULL); } And add this: if (connected) return 1; else return 0; I'll get an update into svn if this works for you and release 3.0.1 Dan ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

PJ Response to ooh323c bugs is very slow, and patches can take some time to be applied if you manage to fix the issue for yourself. That said I prefer ooh323c, as it does not require OpenH323 or PWlib. I find building it easier. Michel wrote: Hello, I need your advice about H323 and asterisk! ;) Which one do you advice me to choose H323 (only gateway mode)? ooh323? ooh323c? Since you mention gateway mode, then ooh323c is worth testing. The bugs that I am aware of are mostly gatekeeper related (but not all). Since the channel doesn't have any external dependencies, it is the easiest to test. If it doesn't work for your setup, there's a very good chance that chan_h323 included with Asterisk will and then you can deal with getting the OpenH323 and PWlib dependencies meet. (Not a major issue, but one I have preferred to avoid) Which one is the best H323 module to use with asterisk? Which one did you choose and why? What is your return on experience? Bugs happen. I've found that the code for chan_ooh323c is reasonably easy to read and make patches for. The current release seems stable and I have it running on four light to moderately loaded servers.

RE: [asterisk-users] Re: [Announce] Web-MeetMe 3.0.0 released
Buki wrote: Sorry I forgot to change the subject line in my last posting! I have been using the Web Meet-Me 2.1.0 on Asterisk 1.2.12.1 for many months now and I am a big fan and I have been very happy with it. I'm glad it's working well for you, positive feedback is always welcome. I want to try the v3.0.0 but I would like to know if there are specific steps I need to carry out to upgrade to the v3.0.0 on my current Asterisk 1.2.X? There are a couple answers here. First is that version 3.0.0 is NOT compatible with Asterisk 1.2.X, so there is no way to test or use it in your installation. There is a plan to release version 2.2.0 soon that has the features and bug fixes from version 3.0.0 that do not have a dependancy on Asterisk's version. The second answer is about the upgrade it self. Since the package is mostly php pages, there is not an 'upgrade'. Just rename the directory where Web-MeetMe is installed and extract the latest package. With the 3.0.0 and 2.2.0 releases we have further seperated the configuration settings from the actual code, so future upgrades should be able to re-use the ./lib/defines.php. With the 3.0.0 and 2.2.0 release it will be easiest to just edit the new defines.php to match your settings. Lastly you may need to add a couple columns to your database to take advantage of the improved recurring conference support. Refer to the sample tables in the ./cbmysql directory for details.

So I can either ask that you try 1.4.0, or I will need to setup a test against trunk. I'd prefer to wait a bit before coding against trunk, since it will break again, and likely before not too long. I guess I figured that trunk couldn't have gone far from 1.4 yet, so I'll move to 1.4. Nothing in particular on trunk I need. Thanks for your time, but sorry to have wasted it. It wasn't a waste though. I now know to expect more work once I look at Trunk closely. A quick review did not show anything exciting that has changed, but the APIs to register applications and CLI commands have changed a small bit.
