Re: [asterisk-users] Being attacked by an Amazon EC2 ...

2010-04-11 Thread Erik L
FWIW, we're seeing similar attacks. The below is what I posted on NANOG 
earlier, which summarizes Amazon's stellar abuse response. I've also received 
an off-list e-mail from someone who was getting hit with 6Gbps of traffic from 
them (and was not able to reach anyone there either).

Time to start blocking them at the edge. Let their customers complain to them 
instead.

Re: [asterisk-users] Dial script

2010-02-06 Thread Erik de Wild: Tripple-o
Thomas,

Yes you can do this. I actually have done this and run it as a   
service under the name Meetmecall.  I use MSN as the user interface to  
record the message, create phone lists of the numbers that has to be  
called and to actually schedule and perform  the delivery. It is  
possible to use it for spam but the customers I have use it to notify,  
remember, offer or let the callee know about something relevant, but  
always as part of an already existing relation. With some extra  
parameters used, you can start a groupcall and use all the other  
Asterisk magic available like doing a questionarry using a smart IVR  
etc. etc.  I can think about a long list of useful use of this service.

I have no idea about the rules and legislation in other countries but  
in Holland you will end up with serious trouble and extreme high  
penalties to pay if you actually use it for spamming.

I will not send you a copy of the solution but it is based on the use  
of call files pointing to local channels/extensions where the Asterisk  
magic is combined in a working (and I think clever) way. The CDR isn't  
perfect but disable and enable CDR at the proper points in the dial  
plan and clever use of the USERFIELD variable will result in useable  
data for billing the users. The CDR shows that most callees, listen to  
the message until it ends and yes, sometime there are complaints about  
the use but that is very rare.

About the scheduling of the calls to make. It is not Asterisk that  
limits you. Far before reaching the limits of Asterisk it will be the  
bandwidth available and the SIP trunk provider that normally doesn't  
allow an endless number of concurrent calls. When I started this I was  
working for a Norwegian company offering the dial tone on the internet  
and I had a server almost directly connected to the backbone of  
internet with more or less endless bandwidth.  I did some stress  
testing of a call center solution  and 80 concurrent calls wasn't a  
problem and my guess is that you can far beyond 80 calls. It is wise  
to move the call files one after the other or one batch after the  
other. Moving large numbers  of call files into /var/spool/asterisk/ 
outgoing might sometimes result in unexpected and not intended  
results. There are other scenarios but this was my choice.

10.000 calls will take some time but with a 30 seconds message, 20  
concurrent calls and 10 seconds average to dial after around 5,5 hours  
the last phone call will be dialed. If the message is just 15 seconds  
it will take around 3,5 hours. If you want to deliver in short time,  
like 10 minutes, you really have to scale up to 420 concurrent calls  
which doesn't sound doable unless you have real serious budgets. If  
you put everything in place at your side you will probably run into  
constraints of the SIP provider and the interconnection to the pstn.

btw:
Asterisk has the potential to build lots of evil features and lots of  
standard features can be used in an evil way. Personally I think it is  
kind of strange that, if a question is asked, one has to explain why  
the answer is not mend for evil use. We don't have to help someone out  
and we can refuse because of lots of reasons: no time, not an   
interesting question, not a single sign of any effort by the one  
asking the question, not willing to give something away that costs  
lots of time and energy, the feeling that it will be used in an evil  
way etc. etc. I think the tone and the content of this discussion  
harms the Asterisk community as a whole.

with friendly regards,

Re: [asterisk-users] {top|bottom|interleaved} posting, once again

2010-02-06 Thread Erik de Wild: Tripple-o
Funny that a small matter like top | bottom | interleaved posting can  
lead to a situation that is referred to as a fight .  I agree with  
Ira that keeping all the original lines in place is very annoying when  
there are more lines then needed to pick up the discussion.  I seem to  
be a top poster by nature, it never crossed my mind that this could be  
part of  a fight or be annoying to others . Sometimes I interleave  
but I never post at the bottom. Lets take our bits of freedom and  
consider how to post (not, top, bottom or interleave) as part of our  
personal style of communicating ;-)

 Seems to me if you trim so that only the minimum amount is left it
 hardly matters. I don't know about everyone else, but I've already
 read all the prior posts and only need the smallest bit of reference
 to connect the answer in my mind. I never read bottom posts that are

[asterisk-users] ENUM and Asterisk 1.6

2009-11-16 Thread Erik Wartusch
Hi all,

I have a problem with 1.6.1.7-rc1 and ENUM (with an own PowerDNS server
and NAPTR record). Maybe somebody has more experience with this or can
give me some input. 

The dialplan:

exten = 292,1,Set(DIAL_NUMBER=43660123456)
exten = 292,2,Set(sip=

domain name starting from here
exten = 292,3,NoOp(${sip})
exten = 292,4,Hangup()

The output if I dial 292:

Re: [asterisk-users] How to configure a coverage path for anextension???

2009-09-16 Thread Erik de Wild

it should look something like

exten = 4000,1,Dial(SIP/4000,30,t)
exten = 4000,2,Goto(4001,1)

exten = 4001,1,Dial(SIP/4001,30,t)

If 4000,1 is answered it will never reach 4000,2

if 4000 is busy or not available for another reason it wil goto 4001,1

hope this is useful

2. Probably you have to add the j option of Dial application (show

and the extension 4000 is busy, the call from PSTN could be send to  
a second

If not, the call need to be take by the first station.

It's not my Grandstream or the DTMF-input because *8 for picking up

When I set :

and I press #*3, nothing happens... No output on the CLI.

There's not much info. I followed the instructions on voip-info.org

The module res_features is loaded.

you should check dialstatus and gotoif. if you use both in the proper

 Should it not go to i extension? If I call the i or s extension it's
 going well. Am I missing something?


 Hi,

 The 'i' extension only works in applications like Background(),
 WaitExten() and everything that uses DTMF to route extensions within a
 context. As you can see in your call, it won't work directly because
 asterisk by default will reject a call that doesn't match in the  
 context
 or included contexts you defined for the user. Because the call is not
 accepted there's no need for a hangup (in a SIP environment).

 If you want to explicitly hangup calls using the dialplan, for your  
 case
 add a one-digit catch all and leave your good calls with a 2-digit  
 minimum:

 exten = _X,1,NoOP(sorry, extension doesnt exist) ; all 1 digits exten
 exten = _X,n,Hangup

 exten = _XX.,1,Goto(s,1); accept exten LEN 1 numeric


 That will be enough to hangup what you want to, adjusting it to your  
 needs.

Re: [asterisk-users] Using asterisk as the recording server

2009-09-08 Thread Erik de Wild
using mixmonitor might not be such a good idea. afaik the mixing of  
the recordings of the two channels starts after ending the call  
causing a high cpu load. if you have recordings going on all the time  
moving the 2 files that has to be mixed to a dedicated mixing server  
might be a good idea. after mixing it should be stored in a  
retrievable way.

 I imagine this setup will need those two communicating entities to

 of the pabx. But support extension 100 of PABX A (legacy) calls 101  
 on the
 same platform. I want asterisk connected to PABX A via E1/T1 to  
 know about
 that call and start recording (tap) without bridging or being part  
 of that
 conversation

 Hi,

 Asterisk won't work as a recording server if the call doesn't go  
 through
 it. In the IP world it means that both media (RTP) and signalling must
 pass through asterisk, and in the E1/T1 digital or analog world it  
 means
 that the call must be bridged through asterisk. A simple dialplan  
 would
 explain it:

 exten = s,1,Answer() ;Asterisk receives the call, from the lecagy PBX
 or from the external link (this should be two different contexts)
 exten = s,n,MixMonitor(blah) ; Records the conversation,
 exten = s,n,Dial(Tech/peer/number...,30,rtTwhatever) ; and sends the
 call back to the legacy PBX or to an external link

 If you want to record 100% calls, you would have to route every call
 through asterisk, even internal PBX calls. Even if you want to tap  
 your
 legacy PBX to a non-asterisk recording server like the ones suggested
 before in this thread, the calls must go through a link to make  
 tapping
 possible and you should seek an alternate solution to the internal  
 calls
 within your legacy PBX. The beauty of asterisk and open source IP-PBXs
 relies on the native recording capabilities which makes things really
 easy. When you see that asterisk works and that can do the recordings
 and much more, you would start thinking on making asterisk your main  
 PBX
 solution and leaving that legacy PBX for minimal uses.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk CLI commands not running !!!!!

2009-09-08 Thread Erik de Wild
Just a hint based on experience. Run top from de linux prompt to  
check if any proces causes an enormous cpu load. I once ran into the  
same behaviour because some asterisk related php script looped and  
took almost all the cpu power available.

Hello,

I am using Asterisk 1.4.22 in a debian 4.0 with a kernel version

Sometimes, I get a strange behavior from asterisk: The CLI commands

Please help me resolve this problem: what can be the cause of it? is  
it Asterisk or my system? and what have I to do to eliminate this  
problem?


Thks in advance.

You can use the M parameter to run a macro after the channel picks up  
or the g parameter to jump to a given context. there is also a  
parameter to run an AGI script. Check the dial() cmd on the wiki for  
further details.

thanks Danny,

just another stupid question, as far as I know, when a call is

I make it execute a SendFAX, or whatever else, when it's answered?


thanks again

That’s the general idea.  The application is designed to send a TIFF 
 over an established connection.  You can detect that it is a fax or 
 just assume so.

Hi everybody,



I've installed Free Fax For Asterisk in my Asterisk box but I don't  
understand how it works as when using SendFax application from  
dialplan, I can't find how to introduce destination fax number.


How this application works? Do I have to call destination fax using  
Dial application, detect somehow that it's a fax and then use  
SendFAX application specifying FAXOPTs and the path to the fax file?




Many thanks

Re: [asterisk-users] T1 TE121 cable connected to a TN2464BP AVAYA card

2009-09-05 Thread Erik de Wild
Not an answer to your question but maybe helpfull. If you use pri to  
connect two servers you might prefer the European way ( E1 ) instead  
of T1 because it will offer you 7 extra channels.


As far as I know most pri cards support both. Be aware of the role  
each card has to play: one the telco role and the other the enduser  
role.

Re: [asterisk-users] Not receiving voicemail message in mailbox

2009-05-17 Thread Erik de Wild: Tripple-o


I have it up and running o my system with this line in voicemail.conf  
and a symlink named sendmail to the actual msmtp program.


mailcmd=/usr/sbin/sendmail -v -t -f lmy e-ail name@gmail.com


This is the install log  based on info provided by others and the  
install process itself. Hope it is useful


/Erik



Step 1  Installing needed packages/libs on your system

install this packages (I'm not sure if all the packages are needed but  
with this packages it works)


 apt-get install libwww-perl
 apt-get install openssl
 apt-get install libcrypt-ssleay
 apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl
 apt-get install libcrypt-ssleay-perl


Step 2  download msmtp

download msmtp van sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ 
msmtp/) to /usr/src/


Step 3

bunzip2 msmtp.tar.bz2

tar -xvf msmtp.tar
cd  /usr/src/msmtp

Step 4

built msmtp

./configure
make
make install


Step 5

check if msmtp is on the system and if the output looks like below.

# msmtp --version

msmtp version 1.4.9
TLS/SSL library: GnuTLS
Authentication library: GNU SASL
Supported authentication methods:
plain cram-md5 digest-md5 gssapi external login
IDN support: enabled
NLS: enabled, LOCALEDIR is /usr/share/locale
System configuration file name: /etc/msmtprc
User configuration file name: /root/.msmtprc

This is free software.  You may redistribute copies of it under the  
terms of

the GNU General Public License http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html.
There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.

Step 6
Make a symlink from /usr/local/bin/msmtp to /usr/sbin/sendmail  (the  
name of the symlink is sendmail)


#  ln -s /usr/local/bin/msmtp /usr/sbin/sendmail

Step 7
Add /root/.msmtprc (be aware of the dot) to the system with only owner  
read and write permissions and with this lines (adjust to your x...@gmail.com 
 account).  This way it works for a gmail account


defaults
logfile /var/log/msmtp.log

account default
from xx@gmail.com
protocol smtp
host smtp.gmail.com
port 587
user xxx@gmail.com
password password
auth on
tls on
tls_certcheck on
tls_trust_file /root/cert.pem



Step 8  certificate file

copy the certificate file to the root directory
/root/cert.pem copied on system  (see attachement)


Step 9 configuration of /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf

Add this to /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf as a replacement of the  
mailcmd = line

mailcmd=/usr/sbin/sendmail -v -t -f your_gemail_name@gmail.com

and uncomment  attach = yes

Add a vociemailbox to the system in [default] of voicemail.conf

[default]
; Define maximum number of messages per folder for a particular context.
;maxmsg=50

500 = 1234,name,e-mail adress

step 10 adding a test extension to the system

Add an extension to /etc/asterisk/extension.conf to test de setup

something like

exten = 888,1,Answer()
exten = 888,n,Voicemail(500)

If you call 888 with in internal phone you enter the voicemail routine  
and a recording will be made. After finishing you will receive an e- 
mail with the recording as an attachement.



And you are done

Agreed. I advised the client against that, during design, but here we are.

On an unrelated note, I always find the Toronto is the centre of the universe

Re: [asterisk-users] cepstral vs festival (MRCP)

2008-12-04 Thread Erik (Caneris)
John:
 However, that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be implemented.  This is
 an area in which I think there is a disproportionate amount of non-
 discussion, since many people who would use or be interested in MRCP
 simply don't participate in the Asterisk project because it doesn't
 meet their needs out of the gate.  Therefore, we see few people asking
 for it, in a self-fulfilling loop.

 Is MRCP something that is significantly lacking in Asterisk?  Is it a
 difficult protocol to implement?  Is there anyone here on -dev with
 the experience to do it?

I don't know whether it's significantly lacking nor how difficult it is to 
implement, but it's certainly nice to have. It would increase the appeal of 
Asterisk to those used to working with MRCP-compatible resources in other 
platforms.

That said, it can be argued that it's best to keep Asterisk simple and free of 
extra features. If its core purpose does not consist of interfacing with ASR 
and TTS engines, then some would argue that it's best to keep such features to 
a separate platform.

Re: [asterisk-users] cepstral vs festival

2008-12-02 Thread Erik (Caneris)
Festival sucks. Cepstral sucks less. The End.

In my experience, it depends on the specific app, who's paying, and who's going 
to be the victim, err...user listening to it. This is the difference between 
domain/context specific phrases/words to pronounce vs. general stuff, a client 
on a tight budget or not, the users being internal vs. customers/public, and so 
on.

Cepstral is a $30 TTS engine. It's not too bad, but you'll find mostly things 
like Realspeak deployed in large scale professional deployments, such as 
those used by the big boys, telcos/banks/airlines. We deployed Cepstral 
recently for a client, for a phone-in service used by the general public, and I 
can tell you that there was quite a bit of work in teaching it with SSML how 
to pronounce stuff.

Again, it really depends on your specific situation. You should definitely try 
out those two at least and also ensure that the client/stakeholders are aware 
of limitations. There's a certain expectation of it will speak perfectly 
these days, followed by disappointment and blame when reality hits them.

Re: [asterisk-users] cepstral vs festival

2008-12-02 Thread Erik (Caneris)

 Erik -
Have you found RealSpeak to be worth the cost?

Actually my last note was probably a bit misleading because in the particular 
cases I mentioned RealSpeak, the platform wasn't Asterisk and Cepstral wasn't 
even on the radar.

 Can Cepstral, with
 the hourly $ spent on tuning, be made to be a reasonable substitute?
Nuance would say no :)
I'd say maybe. Call up +14164854854, it's a recent project we did for a 
client using Asterisk, Cepstral, and a lot of custom code. It's a free phone-in 
service that allows folks to get local traffic, weather, news, commuter 
transit, border crossing wait times, and more. There's obviously quite a bit of 
domain-specific, dynamic, constantly changing text, so this is certainly an 
example of pushing it to the max. Just think of all the street names it has the 
potential to mispronounce.
It's a work in progress, but it's very promising. Definitely an example of a 
lot of hourly $ spent on tuning as you put it.

 My results: The RealSpeak sample was more clear than the Cepstral.
Depends on what you mean by more clear. As Brent Davidson mentions, make sure 
you're comparing 8khz to 8khz, or similar. If you mean it pronounces things 
better, then I agree.

 That being said, I'd really be interested in hearing if anyone has
 done a RealSpeak-to-Asterisk conduit.  I wasn't able to quickly
 uncover how they interact with third-party systems - is it VoIP?  A C
 library?  Some sort of HTTP socket?  The more methods we can get
 working with Asterisk, the better, because not every implementation of
 a voice system has the same requirements...

MRCP is the standard for interfacing with ASR and TTS engines (including 
RealSpeak) in other platforms. Brief Googling reveals a previous flame war on 
asterisk-dev regarding MRCP. I have no idea if it's implemented in Asterisk now.

[asterisk-users] Fax with asterisk

2008-09-23 Thread Erik Haider Forsen
Hi!

I'm new to this list. I tried to search the list archive for a  
solution on my current setup, but couldn't find any.

We have an asterisk connected directly to the PSTN with 2 E1 lines  
through a Sangoma A102d interface. We also have a regular FAX machine.

My question is how to get the fax service handled by asterisk? I want  
to cancel the analog line I have for the FAX machine today.

What would be the best solution? Fax machine and asterisk is on the  
same LAN, not much load, with high end switches etc. Can I expect good  
results with using our existing FAX machine, connected to asterisk  
through an ATA box?

Best Regards,

Thanks for your answer.

Your setup is exactly what we're thinking of. We have 1100 DID's, so  
that shouldn't be a problem at all. Which ATA box are you using?

Re: [asterisk-users] Fax with asterisk

2008-09-23 Thread Erik Haider Forsen
Hi Matthew,

Thanks for your suggestion. The problem is that most of our users  
would not feel comfortable with using software fax solutions. So we  
will have to stick with the old fax machine.

Our reception takes care of the fax machine, receiving and sending  
faxes. This one fax is shared by ~ 600 employees.

 Hey Erik,

 You can also check out pika technologies which supply chan_pika.   
 This comes with a fax application that will let you do your faxes in  
 asterisk (even using non-pika boards).  Works pretty good...

 Hi!

 I'm new to this list. I tried to search the list archive for a
 solution on my current setup, but couldn't find any.

 We have an asterisk connected directly to the PSTN with 2 E1 lines
 through a Sangoma A102d interface. We also have a regular FAX machine.

 My question is how to get the fax service handled by asterisk? I want
 to cancel the analog line I have for the FAX machine today.

 What would be the best solution? Fax machine and asterisk is on the
 same LAN, not much load, with high end switches etc. Can I expect good
 results with using our existing FAX machine, connected to asterisk
 through an ATA box?

 Best Regards,

 Erik

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Trunk and normal

Bilal - I think you're perhaps confusing two meanings of the word
trunk. In this case, trunk is referring to the trunk of the SVN
development repository, not SIP or IAX trunks. This can be seen as the
main development area for asterisk.

Re: [asterisk-users] How to monitor Asterisk logs ?

Oliver -

This is a project I've had my eye on for a while:

http://www.splunk.com

I've never used it, nor have I set it up, but from reading the feature
list, it looks like it's able to keep an eye on any number of log
files and notify you if it sees an error. Unless they have built-in
asterisk support (which I doubt), I'd bet you'd need to specify some
regex rules for what constitutes an error.

Anyway - report back if you end up giving it a try. I've wanted to get
it set up for several months now, but haven't been able to due to lack
of play time in my work schedule.

[asterisk-users] First-time queue app: verifying human member?

2008-07-07 Thread Erik Anderson
Good evening all - for the first time, I'm implementing my first-ever
queue in asterisk. Overall, it's a pretty simple setup, 4 static
members, very low call volume, etc. The one thing that has stumped me
so far, though, is the following...

This is a queue I'm setting up for contacting our IT support staff
off-hours. As such, I've just added the cell phone numbers of our
staff as members. I'd like to somehow verify that it's an actual human
answering the phone when a member is dialed and not their mobile
phone's voicemail. Is that possible? I'd envision just requesting that
the member press 1 or something to accept the call. I currently have
the timeout in queues.conf set low enough so that the call will never
automatically roll over to that member's mobile voicemail, but I can't
guaranty that the staff member won't just hit Ignore on their phone
and send it directly to voicemail.

Ideas?
Thanks!
-Erik

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Openfire Asterisk-IM Plugin Performance Observation

2008-06-20 Thread Erik Anderson
On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 12:47 PM, JR Richardson
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 So now the PBX is over 1.2 Gig for the installation.  Typical PBX
 installs are under 600 Meg.  This makes me wonder about server
 stability, reliability and performance as uptime creeps on and user
 count increases over 50 to 100+.

Increased data on the hard drive won't really have an affect on
reliability or performance.

 Can anyone give me feedback on real world experience with this type of
 setup and any performance issues that my arise?

I can't speak directly to the asterisk + openfire situation. I can,
however, say that I've been running openfire for nearly a year now on
a very highly-loaded server (other than openfire, it's running nagios
and cacti, monitoring about 300 devices around our network) - the load
average on this 5-year single processor old dell server is pegged near
1.00 24x7. I haven't had a single problem with openfire, and I have
between 50 and 100 open sessions at any one time. In the year that
I've been running openfire, I've only had to restart it once, and that
was to upgrade the software. It takes very little CPU, and a modest
amount of RAM.

 Is it better for production to run Openfire on a separate server than the PBX?

What's your definition of better. Is it better to not have all your
eggs in one basket? Is it better to only need to purchase one server?
Is it better to only have one server to manage/update/etc versus two?

 My biggest concern is deploying a 100+ user environment with high call
 volume and high chat volume.  Java seems to be a bit resource hungry
 with the user notifications and call pop ups.  I would hate to have
 the IM server walking over Asterisk and affecting call quality or PBX
 stability.

Speaking personally, I'd have no problems putting openfire and
asterisk on the same box. If needed, you could even just nice the
openfire process down to a lower priority than asterisk - it's not as
latency-sensitive as asterisk is. I'd doubt you'll need to do that,
though.

[asterisk-users] using gtalk received instant messages in the dialplan

2008-05-21 Thread Erik de Wild: Tripple-o
I have been doing some reading about gtalk and asterisk. Most of it is  
pointed to enable using gtalk for making phonecalls. Would it be  
possible to use gtalk instant messaging input (just some text send to  
the gtalk account configured on an asterisk box) into the dialplan.  
This way you could use gtalk im to trigger all kind of events like  
sending an sms, adding sip entries to the system, start conferences  
etc. etc.  The basic question is: is it possible to store the received  
Gtalk message into a variable that can be used to trigger events in a  
dialplan (which isn't actually a dial plan anymore) or doesn't  
anything like that exists at this moment. Is this just a crazy thought  
or does the idea of triggering events in the dialplan via Gtalk im  
input make sense.

I was thinking about a call with the im message as a variable in it  
starting a local channel that goes into the relevant part of the  
dialplan.

examples:

sms: Could you please call Mark  0612345678  for sending an sms
sip_entry:  500  cdwtg_34$  ALAW  snom320  for adding a sip  
entry to sip.conf with number 500 and password cdwtg_34$ for a snom320
conference: 0591234567 0201234567 0612345678: for setting up a  
conference between this numbers

All the logic has to be in the dialplan or scripts but it all should  
start with receiving a message send by a gtalk client. My personal  
opinion is that it would make a great and easy to explain user  
interface that can be used from every pc and every pda or smartphone.

Re: [asterisk-users] nokia 770 has a build in mic, asterisk and iphone

2008-05-19 Thread Erik de Wild: Tripple-o



  was almost tempted to try it, but time was short at the time, and
 holding an N770 to my head seemed a bit silly.. (built in mic and
 speakers, but no socket for an external mic)

 Gordon

I run Asterisk on a Nokia 770 and as a mini pbx it run pretty smooth.  
I  used it, just for fun and demonstration, with a sip account and 4  
concurrent sip calls were running smooth. For those just making and  
receiving phonecalls now and then it is a very useble pbx.

a little bit off topic:
The Nokia 770 has an internal mic. It is the little hole next to the  
hole for the power supply. It looks like a reset whole but it isn't  
and I'm afraid you will ruin the mic if you try to reset your Nokia  
770 this way.  With the Gizmo client for the Nokia 770 you can make  
(partly free) phonecalls  and yes, you have to keep the Nokia 770  
against your ear.

about Asterisk and iPhone

I run Asterisk on an iPhone too. It fascinates me to have Asterisk  
running on small devices like the Nokia 770 and the Iphone. It was  
running but it took almost 100 % of the cpu power, turning the Iphone  
into a device to keep your hands warm during cold days. Something most  
have gone wrong with building Asterisk . As soon as Asterisk is up and  
running it is actually the same as running it on a normal server. For  
using Asterisk as the device pbx (routing incoming calls, moh,  
queueing, transfer, voicemail etc.) I think there should also be a sip  
phone available that can be registered on the local Asterisk. The  
first sip phone (Fring) is a smart  proof of concept but certainly not  
ready for normal use. With a sip phone available you can make outbound  
calls.

sip phone  - asterisk - sip provider - pstn-net

And receive inbound calls the other way around. I'm very interested in  
using my iPhone as a sip phone with PBX functionalities but it seems  
not to be an easy task to make a stable sip phone for the iPhone with  
Apple trying everything to prevent this from happening.

Re: [asterisk-users] Dutch Asterisk mailing list?

2008-05-19 Thread Erik de Wild: Tripple-o
  What is the most reliable method for Asterisk
   to detect the Called ID for incoming calls on
   an analog line in the Netherlands?

In Holland you have to pay to receive cid info on the incoming line.  
If you don't pay at the moment you can start with that.
There are 2 ways for a provider to deliver the cid,ETSI en  FSK. In  
Holland (with a couple of other countries) ETSI is used so if you have  
a phone that only supports FSK the CID will never work. I still have a  
couple of ETSI - FSK converters catching dust. So if you pay for CID  
but your phone doesn't support and you have a pot line connected to  
your Asterisk server I can provide you with a solution for a couple of  
EUR.

If you use the proper card maybe you can adjust the settings so it  
supports ETSI instead of FSK. I used X100P cards and needed the  
convertor to get proper CID

If the Dutch mailing list starts I will join ;-)

Re: [asterisk-users] Not hearing first prompt

2008-05-19 Thread Erik de Wild: Tripple-o

This does the trick for me. Sorry for not posting it earlier

As long as there is no answer the channel takes a second pause by  
jumping to (wait). As soon as the status is not NOANSWER anymore the  
routine jumps to (go_on) and plays the special_message or any other  
message of our choice.

exten = s,1(answer),Answer()
exten = s,n(gotoif),Gotoif($[ ${DIALSTATUS} : NOANSWER]?wait:go_on)
exten = s,n(wait),Wait(1)
exten = s,n,Goto(gotoif)
exten = s,n(go_on),Playback(special_message)

 Another solution that works for me is to add Playback(silence/1)  
 just
 before whatever you are about to do.  Something about the playback
 command opens the channel up.

[asterisk-users] zaptel 1.4.10 doesn't build on debian etch epia itx system

2008-05-17 Thread Erik de Wild: Tripple-o
Today I have been  messing around  with updating my residential  
phonesystem (it was running a 1.0 version from years ago). I have  
downloaded the last source packages for zaptel-1.4.10.1and   
asterisk-1.4.19.2. Zaptel doesn't want to build. After a long time of  
making this is the output that stops it suddenly. Does it makes sense  
to try another lower version of Zaptel, do I miss a package or should  
I change a line in the Makefile like I had to do to build Asterisk  
(Proc=i586 instead of Proc=uname -m which result in i686. The  
updated box is now running without zaptel and it seems to work ok but  
I would like to add ztdummy for conferences. Any suggestion to solve  
this problem is very welcome.

[asterisk-users] Require a Touch-Tone to Connect? proof of concept with meetme()

2008-05-12 Thread Erik de Wild: Tripple-o
I have read the post about the touch tone before to connect so  
transfered calls don't end up in voicemail boxes of mobile phones. I  
have done some work last year on transfering an inbound call to  
different extensions by using meetme() and local channels so a whole  
group can start talking. I end up with a remarkably low number of  
lines and it is actually working . It is just a  proof of concept that  
can be complemented with voiceprompts and a mechanism to make sure  
that just one extra line enters the conference room. If you have  
improvements please share them on the mailing list. I hope someone  
will find this usefull.

Below are the actual Asterisk lines. It is pure old fashioned Asterisk  
without any additional AGI scripts or whatever.


With friendly regards,

; this is where te inbound call is routed to  with exten =  
whatever,n,Goto(inbound_forking,s,1)

[inbound_forking]


; this are the three local channels used for dialing the external or  
local numbers. In this
; example all the numbers are external

exten = s,1,Dial(local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]local/ 
[EMAIL PROTECTED],20)


; this is where the inbound call is routed to the conference room,  
notice the /n

[meetme]

;; extension for the inbound call
;;;

exten = inbound,1,MeetMe(9000,qM1)
exten = inbound,n,Hangup()

;
  ; extensions for the three (or more) different outbound lines

[macro-meetme_test]
exten = s,1,Set(ROOMNUMBER=9000)
exten = s,n,MeetMeCount(${ROOMNUMBER}|COUNT)
exten = s,n,Wait(2)
exten = s,n,SayNumber(${COUNT}) ; as long as the number is 0 or 1  
it makes sense to join

exten = s,n,Authenticate(1) ; here is the one  
touch needed before you can join. A voicemail box of a mobile can't do  
that ;-)
exten = s,n,Meetme(9000)

Re: [asterisk-users] Minimum upload speed for Asterisk?

2008-05-01 Thread Erik Anderson
On Thu, May 1, 2008 at 3:19 PM, Frank Tarczynski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

  Is 384kB up too slow?

Probably not.

  Is there any guidance for the minimum upload speed for an Asterisk box?

I'm guessing this is for just a few calls at a time, correct? I'd
guess that rather than these quality issues being caused by cramped
bandwidth, they're actually being caused by latency issues.  Have you
ever checked the latency of the connection between your asterisk
server and your SIP/IAX endpoint? If it's really high (say 300ms+) or
if the latency is really erratic, you'll have quality issues.

You didn't mention whether you are doing traffic shaping on your
upstream connection, so I'll assume you're not.  That would be
something good to look into - with traffic shaping, you can prioritize
your VoIP traffic over all other types of network traffic.

  A case will last 2 people a month. (you only take 2 ounces a day)

  This may seem like a lot, but:
  1.  You will not need to buy any vitamins.
  2.  My brother-in-law is already making $200 a month, after being in the 
 system for a month, So his cost for the Mona Vie is covered and he is making
 $80 a month.
  3.  As more people sign up, the amount he gets back will increase.

  I am very excited with this, both in the health benefits I am already

Does your ISP provide an SMTP server you can use?  If so, it's usually

that your asterisk server has a valid publicly-available DNS record

rejecting these emails.

That's a good start, but you'll also need to open the RTP ports as
well - these usually fall in the 10k-20k udp range. 5060/udp is used
for call signalling only, the actual voice data can use a variety of

 I currently have about 10 Asterisk servers scattered around the place each

In theory, this wouldn't be difficult at all.  I'd imagine it could go
something like this: set up one central conference server.  Each
branch server would call an extension (zap/sip/iax/whatever) on the
main server, which in turn would dump it into a certain meetme room.
Alternatively, you could have the central server call out to the
branch servers and join them to the meetme room.

In practice, though, I have no idea how the audio quality would be.

box in production, but I do have 2 PowerEdge SC440s (one step up from
the T105) running asterisk along with Sangoma PRI cards. They're
working great.  I really only have two issues with these low-end
servers:

1. You can't order 'em with RAID support.  I'm getting around this by
using software RAID1 in linux, but I'd much prefer having a hardware
RAID controller.
2. The Dell DRAC remote management cards aren't compatible with these
low-end server motherboards.  I've become *completely* addicted to the
DRAC cards on the high-end PowerEdges, to the point that I now refuse
to order a server without a DRAC card.

That said, I'm sure this server would run a small/medium asterisk
install just fine.

 Hi,

 Does anyone know of a cheap (very cheap) dual port traffic shaping box
 (i.e. sub $100) that can be configured for IAX/SIP?

Pick up a Linksys WRT54GL and install dd-wrt on it. That will traffic
shape any type of traffic you want.  I have installed several of these
around the country and they work great for prioritizing VoIP traffic.

DD-WRT will do both HTB and HFSC shaping, though I've only ever used HTB.

Here's the dd-wrt wiki page on its QoS implementation:

Looks like they don't recommend HFSC currently due to some lag issues.
That might have been fixed, though, in the more recent firmware

[asterisk-users] Asterisk dialplan date and time operations

2008-01-02 Thread Erik Wartusch
Hi all,

Im using Asterisk 1.4.11 and I want to proceed some time and date operations 
in my dial plan. (for a time shifted callback).

Should look like:

CURRENT TIME + x minutes.

Of course it should increase the hours for example in this case:

10.59 + 5 minutes = 11.04

I guess I've to use the math function in 1.4 but how can I manage easily the 
time operations?

Kind Regards,

 If you'll be using call files to do this, you can 'touch' them to a
 future date and Asterisk will not act on them until that date is reached.

Are the calls poor quality in both directions or on just one of the

help network traffic going *out* of your network.  In otherwords, you
can really only affect your upload traffic.

One thing to consider is that you may just have a poor-quality
internet connection.  Have you done a VoIP speed test?  Here's the one
that I use:

This sort of test is ideal for VoIP because unlike most other speed

 I struggle with the traffic shaping rules, would you be willing to
 provide additional details as to what you have done in past?

 Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Sure - I use the default HTB traffic scheduler.  The number one tricky
thing about traffic shaping that most people miss is that they don't
set their uplink speed correctly.  For 99% of the use cases out there,
you have no control of your downlink speeds, so there's not a whole
lot you can do for that - you really only have control of your uplink
packets.  So - do a bunch of speed tests and then set your uplink
speed to about 80% of your max upload speed.  That will ensure that
there's always a bit of overhead and that your link itself will never
be the uploade bottleneck.  After doing this, just start classifying
traffic.  Here's a synopsis of the rules I use:

- DNS - high priority
- SIP - express priority
- RTP - express priority
- HTTP/https - bulk priority
- (other p2p applications) - bulk priority

Putting those rules in place should make a big difference.  You can
also specify a specific ethernet jack on the router that will get high
priority if that would help in your setup.

HTH-

2007-11-13 Thread Erik Wartusch

Thx John !!

Hmm I found now on voip-info.org a lot of Beta releases which should fix my 
problems... Kind of strange whats going on with Grandstream devices and their 
firmware ... If you install the latest official release you can expect a 
few troubles with Asterisk 1.4.11 (one way audio -- randomly, dropped 
calls).  So you have to install the BETAS whether you want or not... 

That you have to use unique ports is a rumour and not SIP standard. As John 
said -- IP:Port must be unique . I definitely not understand why I should 
use random ports.

Kind Regards,

Erik



 I`m using several GXP2020 phones with newest Firmware 1.1.4.18.

I had issues with phone locking up using 1.1.4.18. I've now gone to 1.1.4.22
and have eliminated that.

 Asterisk Version: 1.4.11.

Me too. Still testing 1.4.13 on a non-production system.

 I use on every phone the 1 as local port and in the rtp.conf

From my knowledge of IP I don't think this is a problem since the

address/port would be unique. However the example config I originally had
from Grandstream indicated that each phone should use a different port and
recommended to use the random port option on the phones. I have since
assigned the port number on each phone to 1 plus the extension number.
This was done to create a unique port number and to help with
troubleshooting when using Wireshark or tcpdump. I set this in the config
file for each phone.

[asterisk-users] Grandstream GXP2020 + Asterisk 1.4.11

2007-11-12 Thread Erik Wartusch

Hi,

I`m using several GXP2020 phones with newest Firmware 1.1.4.18.

Asterisk Version: 1.4.11.

It happens several times that users complain that the caller cannot hear the 
transmitted voice from the phones

Also now it happens quite often that callers on hold beeing dropped.

Environment: ISDN with chan_misdn and SIP internal calls. No NAT no DNS name 
(only IPS configured).

I configured in sip.conf and on the phone now that alaw is preferred. As I 
saw in the FMW Bug list that GSM is not a good option Also I set the 
canreinvite=no as it is also configured in a Grandstream manual.

I use on every phone the 1 as local port and in the rtp.conf I allowed a 
range from 1 - 5. As far my SIP knowledge is up to date the local 
port has not to differ from phone to phone or I´m wrong?

Any idea or useres which had the same problems and fixed it?

My sip.conf:

[test1]
type=friend
context=outgoing
username=test1
secret=987454
qualify=yes
host=dynamic
nat=yes
canreinvite=no
disallow=all
allow=alaw
allow=ulaw
callerid=Test 0
insecure=very

Yes - a crossover *is* needed in this configuration.

 Has anyone had any compatibility issues with a TE110P card installed on a
 Dell Poweredge 1950?  I noted the following error on the LCD display of the
 Dell Poweredge 1950:

 E1711 PCI PErr Slot 1 E171F PCIE Fatal Error B0 D4 F0.

 The Dell hardware owners manual states that it means the system BIOS has
 reported a PCI parity error on a component that resides in PCI configuration
 space at bus 0, device 4, function 0 and advises that the PCI expansion card
 be removed and reseated.

I had this error on a 1950 while testing a Sangoma quad-port card.
Re-seating the PCI expansion board seemed to solve the problem.

 Ok so you use templates.  I understand that.  The problem is some people on

Just call me out if you feel the need to. Please don't try and hide
behind the some people on here type of comments. Call me out
directly if you feel the need.  I can take it :-)

So...I don't feel the need to prove myself to you.  I have a fairly
good grasp on the conf file syntax, and with a well-thought out and
well documented goal, it's not unreasonable for me to say that I can
type out a config from scratch in 30 minutes.  After working in vim
for as long as I have, you learn to use the many shortcuts that it
provides for text manipulation, copy buffers, moving blocks of code
around, etc.  I also use a syntax highlighting rule file for asterisk
configs, so any typos I make are immediately evident.

It's really remarkable how this discussion has turned into a pissing
match.  I could really care less if you have a hard time believing my
statements.  I'm not trying to push CLI on you or anyone.  Yes - I
recommend that people give it a try before going to a GUI, but I fully
recognize that vanilla asterisk text configuration isn't for everyone.

-Erik
P.S. By the way - don't misquote me.  I said nothing about laying down
a config in 3 minutes.

 I don't do text editing so please indulge me.  Why would someone want to do
 that when a GUI makes life so much easier?

 On a practical note, If someone was deploying 2 or 3 of these a week, most
 of which have 5-10+ extensions doing all kinds of fancy things like call
 queues, parking, forwarding, followme, voicemail to email etc. etc. how
 practical is it to type all this in by hand making sure to get ever single
 space, ., ,, {}, [] etc. exactly right which NEVER happens.  So then
 you have to spend more time debugging the conf files.

 Even with a bunch of pre-made templates it seems like an awful lot of
 unnecessary heavy lifting when a GUI can make it so much easier and
 efficient.

This is *very* much a to each their own issue.  You say that a web
GUI is more efficient - I say that vi is more effecient.  You say that
using a text editor is more error-prone - I say that a web GUI is more
likely to mess things up in a difficult way to troubleshoot.

Use what works for you and don't worry about it.

 So how long would it take you to vi a 20 extension office with custom

Well - there's a large amount of subjectivity in your question, but
perhaps I'll answer with not long.  I don't know - 20 sip
extensions, maybe 5 minutes. Probably another 30 for the dialplan and
debugging.

My point still stands - use what you're comfortable with.  I spend the
vast amount of my day working through an SSH console into various
linux servers, so it would only make sense that for me (and many other
CLI geeks), it doesn't make sense to use a GUI.  I actually get a
little put out when I have to switch over to my browser or another GUI
tool to get things done.

So - the CLI is what works for me.  I'm not going to push that on you
or anyone as the definitive best management tool for asterisk.

Re: [asterisk-users] Affordable SIP Trunk for Home PBX ?

 Curious what others are using, and if anyone can make some

There are quite literally hundreds of VoIP service providers out there:

Here's a list of some of them:

http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/VOIP+Service+Providers+Residential

Billing schemes usually fall into one of two categories.  They'll
either bill you a flat monthly fee for an unlimited plan or one with
a large number of minutes.  Or...they'll bill you on a per-minute,
usage-only basis.  The only provider I've had direct experience with
is Teliax.  I'm on an outgoing-only plan with them and it's been
perfect so far.  They bill something like $0.025/minute. If you want
incoming calls as well, there's a per-month DID charge.

If you are just wanting to receive incoming calls, check out IPKall -
they'll give you a DID and a SIP trunk to your PBX for incoming calls.

 I don't think there is a formula like
 cpu usage = loadavg / #cpus

 A loadavg of 3 says that there are 3 processes waiting to

 Anyway, I'll admit that a loadavg of 3 /might/ be ok.

Here's a quote from this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_%28computing%29#Unix-style_load_calculation

For systems with multiple CPUs, the number needs to be divided by the
number of processors in order to get a percentage.

The system he mentioned had 8 cores, though.  So a load average of 3

 At this point I was wondering if Asterisk gets real benefits on systems with
 several cores (up to 8 in Dell PE2950) for a system that will handle up to
 35 simultaneous SIP call with 10 FXO ports and 2 FXS for analog phones/fax
 (Sangoma A400D PCI card).

For this load level (even with high-load transcoding), a multi-core
machine certainly would not be needed.  That said, it certainly
wouldn't hurt anything to add on extra cores, especially if they're
free ;-)

Hey Forrest - thanks for the information.  Might you be able to send

asterisk was supported?  I've been in conversation with our Sales rep
today, and he's quite adamant that they currently only support Cisco
Call Manager and CCM Express.  I believe they're using CCM to provice
the SIP trunks - if this is indeed the case, I don't see
interoperability with asterisk as a problem.
