Re: [asterisk-users] Quick DUNDi Poll Questions, For All Asterisk, Users, Please Give Feedback

2007-08-20 Thread Matthew Brothers
 I wouldn't exactly say that it is too difficult but that the target
  audience for the default examples is not the average person/entity
  that could make use of the power inherent with DUNDi.  When an
  average * user/admin wants to use DUNDi they will want to start out
  small and local rather than worry about all of the intricacies of
  the e164 standard.  It is much easier, in my opinion, to learn the
  power of DUNDi on a simple level and scale that up to a more
  globally connected platform.
 
 I'd say that duni.conf is a reference, and you expect it to be an 
 introductory document. A reference should be comprehensive. It is best 
 used after you've grasped the basic concepts, and together with a text
 search. Asterisk's sample configuration files actually serve a role 
 of a reference.

The config files can be both a reference and an introduction.  Look
at sip.conf.  Most of the examples in that file are relatively
simple, what you would expect for a beginner to set up most of the
time.  There are also some more complex examples in that file.
Lastly, the sip.conf file has a good section that explains pretty
much any option that could be used in sip.conf.  We should strive to
make all of the conf files similar to sip.conf and iax.conf.

I don't disagree with you that a separate intro document is needed
but there is no reason that the conf files could not serve a broader
purpose.

Re: [asterisk-users] Quick DUNDi Poll Questions, For All Asterisk, Users, Please Give Feedback

2007-08-19 Thread Matthew Brothers
 Questions:
 
 1. Is the wiki DUNDi example and the dundi.conf file too difficult to
 follow for new users?
 

I wouldn't exactly say that it is too difficult but that the target
audience for the default examples is not the average person/entity
that could make use of the power inherent with DUNDi.  When an
average * user/admin wants to use DUNDi they will want to start out
small and local rather than worry about all of the intricacies of
the e164 standard.  It is much easier, in my opinion, to learn the
power of DUNDi on a simple level and scale that up to a more
globally connected platform.

 2. Does the complexity of the DUNDi setup discourage you from using it
 or even attempting to configure it?

I don't see this as the case.  Most people who use * are comfortable
with the level of complexity that is present in DUNDi, they just
don't know where to start.

 3. If there was a simple tutorial, step by step guide with easy to
 setup and test examples, would this encourage more users to
 investigate and use DUNDi?

Absolutely.  If you need any help in putting this together or if you
simply need people to review a tutorial, I would be glad to assist.

 I'm interested in putting together a new-user tutorial about DUNDi
 configuration and setup.  There is a lot of great information, setup
 guides already but the feedback I get is that the current examples are
 a bit complicated to follow for new users.

Thank you for being a part of the conference last Friday.  Your
participation is greatly appreciated.

[asterisk-users] Polycom 330 Speakerphone

2007-08-09 Thread Matthew Brothers
Anyone who has experience with the Polycom 330 know if the
speakerphone is loud enough to be heard in a 20 foot x 20 foot room?
 The context is a classroom where announcements will need to be
made. The phone will be wall mounted at the front of classroom.


Thanks,
Matthew Brothers

[asterisk-users] IAX Encryption

2007-07-23 Thread Matthew Brothers
I am playing around with IAX encryption and have had good success.
I read somewhere, that trunked packets are not encrypted.  Does
anybody know if this means the trunk packets themselves are not
encrypted but the voice frames in them are encrypted or does this
mean that if you are using trunking then encryption of the voice
frames will not occur.  I have used Wireshark to sniff the packets
and it looks like the encryption is being setup normally when
trunking is enabled.  I just can't tell if the voice frame within
the trunked packet is encrypted.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matthew Brothers

Re: [asterisk-users] Modification of Caller ID based on context

2007-06-26 Thread Matthew Brothers
 Hi,
 
 I have been looking for an example of accomplishing this, but 
 I've been unable to locate something similar to what I'm trying 
 to do.
 
 Here's the scenario:
 
 Users caller ID is set to their internal extension (200-250). 
 This is set in sip.conf for each user. Each user has a local DID 
 as well (hosted through Vitelity, for example (555)111-). The
  problem is that this extension was being passed to the outside 
 world. I currently have a SetCallerID command changing the 
 CallerID to our main office number, but some users want their DID
  sent, not the general number.
 
 The problem is that if their caller ID is set to their DID, when 
 users hit redial on their phones internally they dial out and 
 back in. I corrected this by putting each DID in extensions.conf 
 under their three digit extension, but that seems a bit like a 
 kludge obviously.
 
 I'm looking for a method of sending the internal three digit 
 extension only when a user is dialing another user internally, 
 otherwise it will send their DID. Is their a method to do this in
  the dial plan? Anyone have an example of how to accomplish this?
 
 
 Thanks in advance.


Mike,

I have a similar setup (I even use Vitel) and the easiest and
cleanest method that I have found to accomplish this is with the
AstDB. You can simply create a cross-reference of DIDs and Internal
extensions similar to extdid/200 = 555111 ... extdid/250 =
5551112272 in the AstDB. Then you can change your outgoing dialplan
to change the caller id based upon this cross reference. Example:


exten = NXXNXX,n,Set(outgoingCID=MAINNUMBER)

exten = NXXNXX,n,
GotoIf($[ ${DB_EXISTS(extdid/${CALLERID(num)})} = 0 ]?makecall)

exten = NXXNXX,n,
Set(outgoingCID=${DB(extdid/${CALLERID(num)})})

exten = NXXNXX,n(makecall),Set(CALLERID(num)=${outgoingCID})

...

You could even simplify your incoming context by cross-referencing
in the other direction. That is didext/555111 = 200 ...
didext/5551112272 = 250.

exten = NXXNXX,n,
Goto(internal-extensions,${DB(didext/${EXTEN})},1)

OR you could do something similar with LOCAL channels or with a Dial
command.

-Matthew
