Re: [asterisk-users] 1.6b9 Audio Issue
To close the loop on this I have found that this appears to no longer be an issue since I moved to 1.6rc6.

The origin of the outbound channel is always SIP but the asterisk to PSTN could be SIP or IAX. Anyone else? MARK. One difference between Asterisk 1.6.0 and previous versions is that when a channel answers, there is a built-in 500 ms delay so that media has time to be set up. This may be what you are experiencing. There was a bug reported recently that was traced back to this delay. In the next 1.6.0 tarball, the delay will behave slightly differently, although I doubt it will be noticeable for the situation you have described.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk and Fedora 9
It's like the same except you wget a different package and I don't think you have a menuselect option and you do it before you compile asterisk. For addons I think there might be some configuration if you are planning to use the database stuff which I don't use. The sounds come with the asterisk install and the menuselect allows you to decide which sounds you want. But, if compiling is foreign to you as someone points out maybe you should not take that route. I don't agree that upgrading is difficult with this process though.

Re: [asterisk-users] IAX to work on two ports: 4569 and 4570
Depending on how smart your router configuration is, you can leave both boxes A and B on port 4569 and then just set up two rules on your router: Port 4569 - Box A port 4569 Port 4570 - Box B port 4569 If your router is not complex enough to allow a port mapping such as the second line above then you'll need to get box B IAX on port 4570 and I think people have described how to do that. bilal ghayyad wrote: Again, I did not understand. How the router will know if the call that came from Asterisk Box C need to be routed for Asterisk Box A or Asterisk Box B? Note: Asterisk A and B both behind DSL router, while Asterisk C in remote side, both sides are connected via Internet. Regards Bilal -- On Friday 25 July 2008 10:58:28 bilal ghayyad wrote: The reason that I need to do this is: I will have two Asterisk PBX's, and I need both of them to use same Internet (so both of them will be behind NAT under same DSL router), in that case, how I will distinguish on the router the calls that need to be send for box A and the calls that need to send for box B? Asterisk C will be in remote side, and will communicate with Asterisk A and B, so I was look to have two ports on for IAX to be running on Asterisk C, for example: 4569 and 4570, so when box C need to talk with box A, then it sends via 4569 and when it needs to talk with box B then it sends via 4570 port, and DSL router does the routing based on these ports. Is there any other solution? Oh, for outbound traffic, you don't need to define other ports. Simply forward port 4570 on your router to port 4569 on Asterisk B. Remember that unlike SIP, IAX2 does not encode the port number into the protocol, so it'll work perfectly fine this way. If you're bound and determined to listen to port 4570 on Asterisk B, you still don't need to listen on two ports on Asterisk C. Just leave off the port number in iax.conf the specification for Asterisk C on box B. Likewise on Asterisk C, define the specification for Asterisk B to use port=4570. There is no need for port numbers to be the same on both machines when talking IAX. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [asterisk-users] 3-way calling for IAX channels
Asterisk supports conferencing without using meetme. In this case you don't have a central dial in number but a single extension can initiate the conference call. Generally this is done the same way as with traditional PSTN service which is that while on a call between two parties, flash the line, dial out to the third party then flash again and all the parties should be connected. Noah Miller wrote: Hi Daniel - How can I made a 3-way conference betwwen IAX channels? My current version is: 1.4.21.1 Anytime you need a call with more than 2 parties, you need to use some kind of conferencing application. The default conference application for asterisk is meetme. You can use meetme with any kind of channels (IAX, SIP, MGCP, ZAP/Dahdi, etc). Just use the meetme() application in extensions.conf, and create your conference rooms in meetme.conf - Noah ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] distinctive ring
It depends on which type of SIP device you have that determines on how you signal a distinctive ring. You need to change the SIP Header like: exten = s,n,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info:Bellcore-r8) where the number after the 'r' signifies a different ring tone but some devices uses different names other than Bellcore... If you are on an internal path you would set one ring and if you are on an external path set another. Fidel Garcia wrote: This one!

The Read does have a default timeout but you should be able to put your own. extensions.conf: exten = s,n(dial),Dial(SIP/sipura2_1SIP/sipura1_1SIP/sipura2_2SIP/spa942_3SIP/aastra480_3,20,mtTM(screen)) exten = s,n(vmail),Voicemail([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [macro-screen] exten = s,1,Wait(0.2) exten = s,n,Read(ACCEPT,screen-callee-options,1) exten = s,n,GotoIf($[${ACCEPT} = 1]?ok:cont) exten = s,n(ok),Noop exten = s,s+2(cont),Set(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE) I'm trying to build a simple accept/reject screening app for inbound calls that * forwards to my cell phone. Basically I want * to announce the caller ID and then let me press 1 to accept the call or 2 to reject the call and send the outside party to voicemail. I've been messing around with variation of the script below... can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? It's got to be something obvious that I've overlooked. Thanks!!!

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk as an IVR solution
From what I can tell Read allows for a floating point input which uses ast_waitfordigit that accepts milliseconds as input. Douglas Garstang wrote: Admittedly I have not used the ExternalIVR app. Is it any good? I'm not sure I agree that Asterisk is GOOD for building IVR's. Sure, it can do it, but boy it is UGLY. There's also the fact that you can't call Backgound() in a macro, which forces you to use Read() which won't accept a timeout of 1s. There's no DTMF background detection while playing SayDigits so you have to roll your own by calling an external AGI and concatenating sound files. Yuck. By the time you code in logic for handling timeouts and incorrect responses to menu's with all the gotos and what-not, it turns into a god aweful mess. Sure, you can do it.

Re: [asterisk-users] asterisk sip problem
I don't see anything obvious right away other than have you confirmed that the phone is actually working? Can you get it to ring? With my Sipura adapters that use Linksys software I can view the call status in the Info section which if you have that panel might tell you if the adapter thinks a call is coming in. I just looked at my Info page with a call coming in and I can see the call state as Ringing and a bunch of other details.

Re: [asterisk-users] Sipura SPA-3102 and Asterisk
You didn't give details of your networking setup but do you have the 3102 and then X-Lite client connected to the same switch or router? It not, one switch could be dropping packets or slow. Do you qualify both devices in Asterisk? Do they have the same ping times? I haven't done any audio streaming so I can't comment on the behavior of that application in various circumstances. David Siegel wrote: I have a Sipura SPA-3102 that I use to connect an analog phone to Asterisk. The analog phone (actually, an analog extension from a Panasonic PBX – but this should not matter) is connected to the LINE1 port of the Sipura. I’ve got the setup working fine, and when I place a call from the phone on LINE1 to an X-Lite soft phone, via Asterisk 1.6, all works fine. Voice quality on the call is perfect. Now, I’ve been playing with MP3Player, using it to stream audio to an extension. If I call the streaming audio extension from my X-Lite soft phone, I hear the mp3 file perfectly. If I call the same extension from the phone on my Sipura LINE1, the sound is very choppy. All these devices are connected on my local area network, so I don’t think there is a networking problem. To me, this is odd, because: - Voice calls placed from the Sipura LINE1 phone work perfectly - MP3 playing from a call placed on an X-Lite client work perfectly - MP3 playing from a call placed on the Sipura LINE1 phone are choppy I’ve played with various settings on the Sipura, with no luck in fixing this issue. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] SIP MWI Problem in 1.4 and 1.6
I've been having a problem with Asterisk MWI notification on my SIP phones since going to version 1.4 a long time ago. Since going to this version, I have needed to go into chan_sip.c and do the following: /*! \brief Check whether peer needs a new MWI notification check */ static int does_peer_need_mwi(struct sip_peer *peer) { time_t t = time(NULL); /* COMMENT OUT THIS CODE if (ast_test_flag(peer-flags[1], SIP_PAGE2_SUBSCRIBEMWIONLY) !peer-mwipvt) { peer-lastmsgcheck = t; return FALSE; } */ if (!ast_strlen_zero(peer-mailbox) (t - peer-lastmsgcheck) global_mwitime) return TRUE; return FALSE; } After commenting out the section noted above then MWI works fine on all phones. Now, I have moved to 1.6 and am having the same problem except this function no longer exists. Has anyone had a similar problem and if so, how did you fix it in your config files assuming it's some setting in one of them? Does anyone know why this flag test is not working? Also, if someone knows how I can patch 1.6 to fix this that would be helpful also. I have the corresponding mailboxes set in my sip.conf contexts as so: [sipiura1] ...
