[asterisk-users] Outbound FXO call, getting You must first dial...

2006-10-07 Thread Nick Ellson


I am not sure what I might be set up wrong, but dialing out with my Zap/1 
port seems to alwyas get the You must first dial a 1 when calling this 
number message from what sounds like the actual PSTN. My zapatel.conf and 
extensions.conf bits below. Any advice? (I do receive inbound calls, and 
it does sound like I am getting the PSTN error. I do notice that when I 
get an inbound call, I have 5 secs of sevear static before it suddenly 
becomes clear.. could that be happening on the outboud as well munging the 
first few digits?)

I did have a bit of trouble with searching (what to search on), though 
looking for the w in the dial command did return quite a few hits as you 
described. Thank you so much for taking the time to reanswer a covered 
subject.


I played with the settings and 1 w and removing the :1 after EXTEN (not 
stripping the leading digit?) makes it reliable. Not stripping the first 
digit worked about 2 in 5 attempts. I stumbled onto that idea when I 
missdialed a number 9215037 digit number and it worked! The 2 was a 
fat finger mistake. So I tried 90xx and that worked.


As I have some success now, I can tune this so it works as the HowTo's 
list. :)


Thank you again!

You should probably do a little research before posting questions like this 
as its been answered many many time.


The problem is that some pstn central offices are not ready to receive dtmf 
digits as quickly as what asterisk sends them. So, an option w has been 
added to the Dial command to instruct asterisk to wait about 200 milliseconds 
before sending dtmf. Try something like this:

exten = _9.,1,Dial(Zap/1/w${EXTEN:1},60)
and notice that lower-case w in the string. If that doesn't fix the 
problem, try two ww's in a row.

Do you have sendcalleridafter=2 in your [channels] section of 
/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf? (I had to change it for mine to work)

Hello,

We are using asterisk with 6 POTS lines and Caller ID is not always read
from the lines properly.  Is there a way to make asterisk wait for the
caller id before proceeding with the dial plan or is it possible a setting
is wrong in a conf file somewhere?  Any guidance would be helpful.

Thanks,

[asterisk-users] X100M location in circuit requirement?

2006-09-28 Thread Nick Ellson


I have just added a A1200P+FXO port to my home line for testing. In the 
interest of saving time, I wired it to the Phone port of my Fujitsu Speed 
Port DSL Modem.


So in total, I have the line from the telco going to my Fujitsu, which 
goes to the FXO port. In parallel at the POP I have a DSL line filter in 
series with the rest of my house phones (2 phones, one modem, and the ADT 
alarm system).


So I look at my console this morning as see all these events. Judging by 
the period, I am going to guess that my ADT alarm panel is calling home to 
check in on the parallel existsing phone system and Asterisk is seing 
that. Would that be correct? And.. When it comes to Asterisk, does it 
function fine as a second system to the same line as the house phones?


(Also, can anyone point me to the list of configuration options for an 
X100M FXO module for the asterisk conf files?)

[asterisk-users] Asterisk lockup and boot error after one day?

2006-09-28 Thread Nick Ellson


I had installed a X100P clone just as a quick trial at real analog access 
and my system would not boot successfully (error below) but I figured it 
was just a bad card and at $20 I didn't care much. Now I have a 12 port 
card using the FXO/FXS modules, and installed it Tuesday. It booted great, 
got the drivers working and even made a few calls in each direction. Over 
last night the system locked up hard (IE: Dark screen, num-lock or caps 
lock won't toggle) After a hard reset, I see a lot of Dazed and 
Confused) messages and then it hangs, but after a second boot and all 
those errors again it makes it to run level 3 and I can shell in and grab 
dmesg before it locks up. Take the card out, it's all happy again.


Ok, why did I ask Asterisk-Users? I have not seen this until I tried these 
two telecom based cards and I want to know if this is something that 
happens using cards or zaptel/zapata drivers, or should I be looking at a 
hardware specific forum? (IE: Any Asterisk users have this happen?)

[asterisk-users] Right way to prevent analog channel from answering the phone?

2006-09-27 Thread Nick Ellson


I am in the process of learning my A1200P, and i would like an elegant way 
to prevent it from answering the phone, but still make outbound calls. I 
tried zap destroy channel 1 (which worked, but pissed off Asterisk ;)


Is there a more elegant way to tell it to answer/not answer on command?

Well, that just makes too much sense.. starting to feel a tad embarrased 
here ;) Ok, I  will simply remove the Dial(IAX2/4005) and have it not do 
anything, that will error on the console, but that's ok and let the 
parallel land line have the call (AKA: The wife)

I don't have an A1200P, but most zap channel interfaces are built to not 
answer an incoming call unless you specifically configure asterisk to do it.


There are only two basic conditions under which an incoming call will be 
answered:

1. by including the answer statement, like:
 exten = 3556,1,Answer
 exten = 3556,2,Wait,1
 exten = 3556,3,Authenticate(3017)
 exten = 3556,4,Meetme(3556|pM)
2. a SIP phone (or other phone) user picks up the handset.

So, in zapata.conf you have definitions for each of the A1200P ports, and one 
of the items in those definitions is context=something. If that context 
statement points to some non-existent context name (like context=xyz), there 
is nothing that would answer the incoming call.


If the context=something points to a real context (in extensions.conf), 
then review that context to ensure there is nothing there to answer the 
incoming call. (Note: some asterisk applications will automatically answer 
incoming calls.)


You could also define that context and include statements like:
[no-answer]
exten = _X.,1,Hangup

My home Asterisk server is running dual proc dual core zeon 3ghz, seems

mpg123 does occasionally hang a pid at 100% now and then, but it does that

Re: [asterisk-users] Forwarding

2006-09-22 Thread Nick Ellson


How might you identify a mobile #? (assuming you refer to cellular phones) 
Now that phone companies are allowing you to transfer your land line to a 
mobile, it's no longer practical to use prefix blocking.


Where I worked, they just gave up and just restricted forwarding to long 
distant numbers except by exclusion (for those at the top of the food 
chain, so to speak)


If there is a way to identify, from the number dialed, that the 
destination is a mobile phone, I'd be interested as well.


And curious, why such a preference?

Thanks for the feedback Peter,

I am going to try one with an FXO and then one of the $30 fixed port 
single FXO PCI cards from pbxeq.com as well. See if there is a real 
difference there. Anybody try the A-100PCI card? When I do, I'll post 
what I find.

Nick,

I use one and it works just fine for me with 2 FXO and 2 FXS at the moment. I 
would say it is a great board to have and experiment with and as you say not 
too big or too small.

 get started for me with an in-system controller card. 4 ports seems too
 small for expansion, the huge 24 port card a tad too big (and spendy).

 So has anyone used this card with Asterisk? I googled for reviews and have
 not found anything, and I am tryingto find a way to search the archives
 without looking at each month one at a time.

[asterisk-users] saved.gsm - Voicemail greeting ??

2006-09-15 Thread Nick Ellson


I seem to have stumped myself on this one. I had my son rattle off some 
really great sound bytes for his own extension (busy, after hours, etc) 
and that was easy to set up with the dial plan. Now I have his actual VM 
greeting in a .gsm  and no idea how to get it into his VM Greeting, I am 
guessing that these are not stored where the other sounds are, maybe in 
the database? I looked through the .pdf book, not many helpful hits on 
google. Help? :)

Re: [asterisk-users] saved.gsm - Voicemail greeting ??

2006-09-15 Thread Nick Ellson


Ok, I did finally find the file structure 
(/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/exten/*) , but everything is 
stored in 3 formats with set names, so I bet there is a process that 
creates all that, if I have just the 8000hz mono .gsm, is there an entry 
point or program I can feed this file to?



The sample I did by recording my own using the Voicemail system:

ls /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/4003

INBOX  busy.WAV  busy.gsm  busy.wav  greet.WAV  greet.gsm  greet.wav  tmp 
unavail.WAV  unavail.gsm  unavail.wav

Re: [asterisk-users] saved.gsm - Voicemail greeting ??

2006-09-15 Thread Nick Ellson


Ok, I am getting closer on how to choose the files played. I missed this 
in the book, but VoIP-info had this:



s: Play nothing.
(no flags): Play instructions.
su: Play unavailable message.
u: Play unavailable message, then instructions.
sb: Play busy message.
b: Play busy message, then instructions.
In all cases, the beep.gsm file will also be played, prior to starting to 
record.


and it will play the file I want if I rename my file to the stock named in 
the spool directory.. But as I have been making only .gsm's, am I leaving 
the VM Box's half-baked?

[asterisk-users] Features.. phone vs. asterisk?

2006-09-12 Thread Nick Ellson


I tried a lot of SIP and IAX softphones looking for ones I liked, noticing 
some have certain features and others did not. For things like call 
transfer, call park, group pick-up, line presence, and all those kinds of 
extras I have a bit of confusion on where it is implemented?


Are these functions that Asterisk handles and the phone just triggers 
them with some out-of-band signal or DTMF sequence? Or does some of this 
rest on the phone itself? (Here is where I would love TFM to R. :) Just 
having a hard time finding what to read.)

[asterisk-users] Softphones IAX vs. SIP, remote connectivity.

2006-09-07 Thread Nick Ellson



Hey all,

A previous annoyance with not being able to call out to my brother on FWD 
from my Asterisk system had me thinking that since I have my own PBX, and 
that system has it's own 1-to-1 static NAT to the internet, I should be 
able to act as the provider for him or any of my family, and have them as 
local extensions of my PBX, right?


So I took my laptop to work (using the X-Lite SIP softphone) and watch my 
ACL logs on my router for any denies to my Asterisk box. As expected 
udp/5060, then once that was open, a series of randomish udp/1+ 
requests. My phone registered, and I tried to call one of the phones 
behind a PAP2. Worked first shot, and just as clear and responsive as it 
was when I was home. But, the phones at home could not call me, they when 
to voice mail.


I had heard that SIP doesn't survive NAT all that well, and that IAX 
native phones do a better job. My question is, given my description of how 
I am set up and what I am trying to accomplish, should I be looking at SIP 
or is IAX a more robust choice? (I was hoping to get video working as 
well, h.263 I believe it is).

Re: [asterisk-users] Softphones IAX vs. SIP, remote connectivity.

2006-09-07 Thread Nick Ellson


Bruce,

I *just* tested the XtremePhone, IAX2 softphone. Other than trying to 
figure out how to get it to send proper CallerID to the other phones, it 
worked right off, in both directions. Excellent!


Perhaps working the IAX2 angle will be less of a hassle, I will go looking 
for one that does video now.


Maybe it's time to buy an IAX2-ATA adaptor and see how well that works 
over the net.


Nick

As for the SIP logs, I start Asterisk with -c already, I did a sip 
debug and tried my call from the house to my remote SIP phone. YIKES!! 
Gunna take a bit to understand all that, but I think I did see an INVITE, 
and a CANCEL twice in a row and I did not hit the hang-up switch. So that 
might explain why no connection is made, and the called gets my voice-mail 
(according to my wife)

2006-09-07 Thread Nick Ellson



Hello Michael,

I just had both Mom and my brother up as extensions on my Asterisk pbx 
using IAX2, the Cubix phone for now, but I downloaded and tried several. I 
loke multiple lines, but a clean GUI is better for my family..


Oh yeah, it worked flawlessly :)

I open one port to my server udp/4569 and that was it. I shut the rest 
off.


For remote family, IAX2 will be what I use right now.

Anybody see a Video capable version for Windows? The MAC has one, darn it.

You need to MAKE a sample config by configuring your phone first, then ya 
get a nice little .xml config file you can batch tweak. :) That's what I 
found out.

I do this with the zip version of idefisk avaliable here :

I download and extract the files the run the phone and configure the settings

I then zip it up and email it with instructions to unzip and run the program. 
Works great on my thumb drive also.

Erm.. I mean LOUDHush  and I went to look and the features did not list 
Video, but the phone was listed in the video softphone section of the 
catalog search I did.   So, I see FullDisclosure with vulnerabilities in 
IAX2 Video, I see questions asking what happens when you go from SIP video 
to IAX2.. But I have yet to see a IAX2 video softphone, commercial or 
otherwise.  Is the feature still a bit young? Or maybe to narrow a market?


Just not looking forward to setting up SIP again to try out video bewteen

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk calling through FWD?

2006-09-04 Thread Nick Ellson


Hi Michael,

I tried what you had said and then tried calling you, and it worked. Then 
I called my brother and while I did not get the error, I still got the 
busy message i was getting before I borked my config trying too many 
ideas ;)


So, any other 6 digit FWD users willing to take a call from me? Just so I 
can eliminate the call string?


My two back to back calls..

Nick,

Now I remember why this doesn't work. It's the caller ID settings. The syntax 
you use is older and makes two separate calls


 exten = _393.,1,SetCIDNum(${FWDNUMBER})
 exten = _393.,2,SetCallerID,${FWDCIDNAME}


This won't work for some reason. As soon as I changed my settings to:

exten = _393.,1,SetCallerID,${FWDCIDNAME}
exten = _393.,2,Dial(IAX2/54245:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/${EXTEN:3},60)
exten = _393.,3,Congestion

Then it worked. The SetCIDNum function broke it. I can't say why, only that I 
inquired with folk at FWD who told me that it was most definitely at my end.

Feel free to call my fwd number. It rings at my desk. If I'm there I answer but 
you may just get VM.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Linksys PAP2 ATA

2006-09-02 Thread Nick Ellson


Hi Corey,

I spend 2 hours with REALLY bad docs on how to Unlock the PAP2 Vonage I 
got from Office Max. I bought it the second I saw a glimpse of an articaly 
that it could be turned back into an NA. Anyone want to try this? The nes 
ones one the shelf in my area had 3.1.3 code already, but if you put 
together a few seperate How-To's ya can get a really simple procedure 
and the files to clean out Vonage and I can say my kids LOVE the new 
phones in their rooms to play house with ;) (So yeah, end result was 
actually 30 seconds and two reboots on the unit and it's Vonage Free and 
happily on my Asterisk network)


So now I am looking at the Linksys SPA3000 to use as a poor-man's FXO 
port. It looks like this is an easier task doc's wise. Anyone set this up?


Nick
If anyone wants the final steps I used on the PAP2 lemme know.

Nick - the Linksys PAP2's that you see in retail stores like Fry's, BestBuy, 
WalMart, etcare all locked devices.  They are provisioned and locked 
down for use only with specific VoIP providers like Vonage, Packet8, 
Broadvoice, etc.


If you want an unlocked, unprovisioned PAP2, you need to purchase the 
PAP2-NA or PAP2T-NA (Current Model).  Search Google using either of these 
part numbers and you will find many only merchant who offer the unlocked 
version, which will work with Asterisk.

 I was loonking for an easy off the shelf ATA to get two analog phones up
 on Asterisk. I am not yet ready to by a full 4 port digium card until My
 wife can see this work with FWD and a real phone :)

 I see that Fry's sells the Linksys PAP2, which appears to be a SIP
 adaptor? I have found no posts on it being able to log into Asterisk.

 Any one tried this?

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Linksys PAP2 ATA

2006-09-02 Thread Nick Ellson


Hey Bob,

I think the SPA31-2 is the new guy on the block. Only $10 more too mail 
order. $86 was the best I saw.


So I have the PAP2 with two cheapy $4 wall phones mounted in the kids 
room, they are calling each other and my laptop.. Only issue so far is 
that to call one PAP2 from the other there is a 10 sec delay before the 
ringback/ring occurs.. and a 3  5 year old can have an entire 
conversation before the phone even rings. ;) Calling from my X-Lite soft 
phone to the PAP2 is nearly instant.


But it does have my wife actually jazzed about having two more phones 
where she works in the house so she can join the fun.. Score! A free pass 
to buy more toys! Another PAP2 and a SPA3102 for me

Nick,

I've used a SPA3000. There seems to be a later model from Linksys, hopefully 
it works better. I had some severe echo problems due to my distance from the 
CO. The SPA3000 never could seem to compensate. The older software worked 
better, but it never passed muster with the wife. Went to a Digium TDM11B, no 
problems.


There are plenty of mini-howtos on the web to set up a SPA3000. If you are 
close to your CO and the price is right, give it a try. I think I read 
somewhere that at up to 7000 feet between the CO and the SPA acceptable 
results are possible. I'm at about 18000 feet.

Re: [asterisk-users] Blind transfer 3/4 digits

2006-09-02 Thread Nick Ellson



I have just noticed that my X-Lite soft phones don't dial 3-4 digit 
extensions without first dialing it in the display and then hitting send. 
So tthat is an issue with the phone you think? Ok, I'll start there for 
the inter digit timeout, see if there is a certain dial string lenth 
before it will transmit.

Dialing a number and transferring a number are two different things. And no 
offense, you are not really providing a lot of details along with your 
problem. So you can dial the numbers but not transfer from one to the other.


What does the CLI say when you try the transfer? That would provide a lot of 
information that could clue you in to what is going on.


What type of phones are you using? Some phones have the ability to pattern 
match and wait for a certain number of seconds before sending the number to 
asterisk. For example. On our Polycom phones a user has 3 seconds (between 
digits) to enter in 10 digits. This could be where most of your problem is.


My guess the problem lies with the Phones, not Asterisk form the information 
you provided.

 I am not angry about VoIP, but please send my your old Nortel system !

 I just do not understand why I can DIAL 601 and 6014, but not use blind
 transfer. Is the question too difficult?

 I am sure there is somewhere a switch to say, wait two seconds (as for
 dialing) before you assume it is a complete number.
 It is also strange that snom phone can do it correct, because it uses the
 ok key.

Hey Bob,

Just tested the PAP2, yes a # sends right away.

I am looking for why, still new at the dial plan stuff.. this is the 
default..  Should I be looking for a way to have the PAP2 NOT deal with 
dialing and let Asterisk handle it?

Does pressing the # key speed up dialing? If so look for a timer in the PAP

never did much in-house dialing.


$86 is a pretty good price. I paid more than that for the spa3000 6 months

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Linksys PAP2 ATA

2006-09-02 Thread Nick Ellson



Ok, I found the Interdigit short timer (3 secs) and Interdigit long timer 
(sure enough, 10 secs)  So, what I have seen is that when a dial plan hits 
a match, it fires without looking for more digits.. The interdigit short 
delay is in effect, but the long timer hits ya when you are trying to find 
that page agaain in the phone book because it fell off the counter.. ;)


Maybe a dial-plan on the PAP2 can send digits direct to Asterisk.. not 
sure.

Nick,

I know some adults that can have an entire conversation in the same amount of 
time.


Does pressing the # key speed up dialing? If so look for a timer in the PAP 
config or tell the kids to press #. IIRC the spa3k had something similar, but 
never did much in-house dialing.


$86 is a pretty good price. I paid more than that for the spa3000 6 months 
ago.


Bob...

 Hey Bob,

 I think the SPA31-2 is the new guy on the block. Only $10 more too mail
 order. $86 was the best I saw.

 So I have the PAP2 with two cheapy $4 wall phones mounted in the kids
 room, they are calling each other and my laptop.. Only issue so far is
 that to call one PAP2 from the other there is a 10 sec delay before the
 ringback/ring occurs.. and a 3  5 year old can have an entire
 conversation before the phone even rings. ;) Calling from my X-Lite soft
 phone to the PAP2 is nearly instant.

 But it does have my wife actually jazzed about having two more phones
 where she works in the house so she can join the fun.. Score! A free pass
 to buy more toys! Another PAP2 and a SPA3102 for me

 Nick

Hi Tim,

The dial plan trick worked great. Added |40[01]x| to my plan and 4000-4019 
connect instantly from the PAP2 :) Added it to my X-Lite as well, and 
worked there too.


Thanks!

You have to set in in the PAP2.  When using SIP, it has to send an invite with
the number it wants to be connected to.  The Sipura has to know a complete
number to send - it can't send it in pieces.  You need to make the dialplan
in the Sipura match what you have programmed in Asterisk.

Ie. My extensions are 51XX, and 52XX, so in the Sipura dialplan, I added
5[12]XX - this will match any of my extensions, and complete the call.  This
can be a problem if you use direct 10 digit dialing, and dial to an area code
beginning with 51 or 52.  You could get around this (if it's a likely issue)
by prefixing a 9 to the 10 digit patterns, or inserting a . (I think) to make
it wait for another digit.

Hey Bob,

Just tested the PAP2, yes a # sends right away.

I am looking for why, still new at the dial plan stuff.. this is the
default..  Should I be looking for a way to have the PAP2 NOT deal with
dialing and let Asterisk handle it?

Solved: sigh Re: [asterisk-users] MOH help needed with fresh install

2006-09-01 Thread Nick Ellson


I'm sorry all... But I knew it would take me asking the questions before 
the answer would present itself.. I found a reference to the version of 
mpg123 needing to be r not s and that was my problem. Had to load 
mpg123 from src and fix a few typos in the makefile, but it plays very 
nice now.

Any Gentoo Portage users running Asterisk MOH that can help me determine what

I have tried using MPG123 with no difference (no errors on the console

[asterisk-users] Asterisk Linksys PAP2 ATA

2006-09-01 Thread Nick Ellson


I was loonking for an easy off the shelf ATA to get two analog phones up 
on Asterisk. I am not yet ready to by a full 4 port digium card until My 
wife can see this work with FWD and a real phone :)


I see that Fry's sells the Linksys PAP2, which appears to be a SIP 
adaptor? I have found no posts on it being able to log into Asterisk.


Any one tried this?

Nick
