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

Re: [asterisk-users] Outbound FXO call, getting You must first dial...
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! -- Nick Ellson CCDA, CCNP, CCSP, CCAI, MCSE 2000, Security+, Network+ Network Hobbyist, VFR Private Pilot.

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. ___ --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 ___ --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

[asterisk-users] X100M location in circuit requirement?
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?
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?

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.

Re: [asterisk-users] saved.gsm - Voicemail greeting ??
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? Nick -- Nick Ellson CCDA, CCNP, CCSP, CCAI, MCSE 2000, Security+, Network+ Network Hobbyist, VFR Private Pilot.

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

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

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.

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?

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Linksys PAP2 ATA
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?

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Linksys PAP2 ATA
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 -- Nick Ellson CCDA, CCNP, CCSP, CCAI, MCSE 2000, Security+, Network+ Network Hobbyist, VFR Private Pilot.

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. Bob...

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?

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

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. Kevin Ronald Wiplinger wrote: David Gagnon wrote: Ronald, You seem to be a little bit angry about VoIP.

I am sure there is somewhere a switch to say, wait two seconds (as for dialing) before you assume it is a complete number.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Linksys PAP2 ATA
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.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Linksys PAP2 ATA
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.

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. -Tim On September 2, 2006 20:43, Nick Ellson wrote: Hey Bob, Just tested the PAP2, yes a # sends right away.
