 I am new to asterisk and pbxiaf. I have setup a VM and intend to use it for
 a number of android phones (using sipdroid) all on local wifi for a
 conference call. There is a lot of echo.
 I also added a GoogleVoice account, even on a standard phone call the
 remote
 party gets a late but large echo.

 As I understand, DAHDI works with the cards, seeing as my complete system
 is
 software based, how would I get rid of the echo.

 Thanks in advance.

Unlike our friend Ghanshyam, i'm sorry for the hijack however does OSLEC
only work with telephony cards or,
will it also work on a purely Asterisk SIP environment?

Thanks in Advance,

They are sending requests from his own public ip huh? Trade secrets
H, IPTaibles, Fail2Ban (as a preventative), there is something
I am missing What the f is it called again? Oh yeah Pike!!!

 alwaysauthreject = yes
I don't know about that However, using the mac address of the device as
the `sipbuddies.name`, and having `sipbuddies.secret` other than `12345a`
;), I would say yes too.

 One of Asterisk's dirty little secrets is that it does not show the
source IP when a device or hacker tries sending a call  without
registering.  The rejection message in the logs do not show the IP of the
attacker.   Yes it sucks, yes it has
 been that way for many many years.

Does not good if the address is spoofed as it seems is the case here.
IPTables, class c filter rule buy yourself a burger or a slice...

Be strong my legit brotherins!!!

Hey!!! Eric thank you so much for your response. Could you guys please
direct us in achieving as much as possible. For example:
* What linux command can we use to convert all recording to G729
* Which files do we need to convert and there locations
* For *testing* how do we make sure Asterisk NEVER EVER transcodes.

Do we still need the G729 codec installed on the asterisk machine if
we manage to implement pass-through that would suffice our needs.

Kind Regards,

Hello Ashgar,

Thank you so much for your response. As removing A2B is not an option
we would first like to begin by converting all audio files (Asterisk,
VM, A2B prompts etc...) to G729 to minimize unneeded trascoding. Linux
commands and the list of recording would be a great help. Sorry, not

Hello Jai the benefits of SIP trunking is well noted. However, there
will always be an underline interconnect that makes SIP trunking
possible. What I am trying to say is that there will always be
ISUP/ISDN trunk groups that we throw a TCP/IP stack on top, and offer

[asterisk-users] SIP Trunking Mantra (Origination)

2013-06-22 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Everyone,

We are currently having talks with various service providers, and
trying to determine what the best way is to interconnect in order to
have access to the PSTN network. As you know there are two ways of
doing this:

Traditional PRI: Have trunks grouped into a transport layer such as
OC3/12. With DIDs attached to the group. As you many know, this
approach would also require a POP near the CO of the exchange we want
to service etc.. We could also have the service provider backhaul some
of the NXX in areas we do not have a POP, to a location near by.

SIP Trunking: SIP traffic coming through the end of transport layer
such as OC3 or ethernet connection directly connected to the service
provider, with DID that can come from anywhere. No need for a POP in
Chicago, for example, when we are located in Kansas.

The benefits of one over the other are known, and not the topic of
this message. What we are trying to determine are:

When talking market price, a virtual PRI/SIP Trunk interconnect
costs about 500-550 per 24 channel virtual pri. This compared to a
true ISDN/PRI which can costs between 200-500 dollars depending
who you talk to. We also have to take into consideration the hardware
needed for either setup i.e.:

* Option 1: SIP Proxy
* Option 2: media gatweays, multiplexers, media server

Even though it was natural to talk about pricing, this is still not
what we are interested in knowing. What we are interested in finding
out is:

* How are service providers that offer virtual pris interconnected
with their suppliers? I would imagine that some (non-CLECS), are
renting a connection from the LECs, and grouping PRI/ISDN trunks
(option 2). And others (CLECS), have a A-Link/ISUP trunk interconnect
to the CO.
  - Which brings up a second question. How does a PRI trunk group
differ from an ISUP
trunk. I don't know much about and ISUP trunks and would *really*
appreciate having
   someone educate us on (i) the concept, (ii) what type of equipment
would be needed,
   (iii) how it differs from ISDN trunk groups. (iv) is it only
available for LECS

I do have more questions, however for the sake of brevity will stop
right here. And before anyone asks the it depends what you want to
do, I will mention that we are trying to establish an interconnection
that will sustain 2016 channels or 84 T1s, and 5000 DIDs. We are not
trying to become a CLEC however, still feel that option 2 would be the
better choice for reasons covered here, and some that are left
implicit (i.e, quality, reliability of managing our own
networks..).

Your insights are greatly appreciated!

Nick.

Re: [asterisk-users] PCI Passthrough of T1 cards

2013-06-19 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello James,

Thank you so much for your response. I should have chose my words
carefully. PCI pass-through in terms of virtualization of devices and
it's draw back are well know. I was leaning more towards near host
performance virtualization using SR-IOV.

This moves emphasis back to the production drivers of the interface
card using virtual functions etc., and can provide near host
performance. Rephrasing my question, are any of the T1 pci
manufactures providing support for virtualization using SR-IOV and
virutal functions?

Kind Regards,

Nick

[asterisk-users] SIGTRAN Integration

2013-06-14 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Everyone,

I was wondering how SIGTRAN/SS7oIP can fit into our currently 100% SIP model.
We are looking to interconnect with the PSTN world, and our supplier
has given us
a few options. We can either do this over traditional PRIs, A-Links or
the SS7IP new.

I am really interested in SIGTRAN, and was wondering how some of you
have integrated
it into your architecture. Can Asterisk handle SS70IP or do we have to
put a yate or squire
server at the end of that connection.

Kind Regards,

Nick.

Thank you so much for your response. During the testing phase
we would like to employ an open source solution, and wanted
to know what people have had success with, given the different
user part etc..

On a side note, anyone know of service providers offering SIGTRAN?

Kind Regards,

Nick.

I know you're a busy guy, can you please expand on this kindly :).


 Atm oc-n cards with linux sw support are widely available, according to

 libss7 and and ast *might* need a bit of patching to work with it, but it
 shoudn't take too much.

Will goog some more!


 Sip/rtp over private ptp ethernet is an option with at least some of the
 ILECs.

 They may call it virtual-pri or some such.

 Of course, if they are installing an actual sonet ring, and not just a
 spur, that can have built-in redundancy, depedning on physical routing.

We are trying to position ourselves as facility based virtual PRI service
provider here, and would like to put something of our own together vs.
resell another LEC's red ribbon product.

2013-06-13 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Brian,

Thank you so much

On 6/12/13, Brian LaVallee b.laval...@globaltank.jp wrote:
 Hi Nick,

 Going from DS1 to OC-n is a multi-step process.  Typically requiring a
 hardware device to handle each MUX step.  But you can find hardware that
 handles multiple MUX steps together.

The connection is coming into our premise on the OC-n transport. The
question now is should we have it multiplexed as DS1 or VT1.5s
to the DS3s. What is common today, I think DS1 VT1.5s mappings
are more flexible?


 VT1.5 is just a raw OC-n channel containing a single DS1.
 An M13 device converts between DS3 and DS1.


Understood!!!

 A DACS (DCS or DXC) provides M13 conversion, sometimes even capable of
 extracting the raw VT1.5 signal directly to DS1.

 The ILEC transport option you choose really depends on the terminating
 interface.  Do you want to connect with a DS3 or OC-n?


The transport is coming in as OC-n. What I am trying to figure out are
the advantages
of mapping the STS-1 using DS1s or VT1.5s.

 No matter what hardware you choose, you will need to convert to single
 copper pairs (DS1/T1) to connect to your Asterisk boxes.  So an M13 or DCS
 will be necessary to reach the DS1 level.

 The device you choose depends on budget and growth expectations.  Typically
 a DCS is an expensive investment, handling hundreds of DS3's. An M13 device
 is typically a small unit that handles one or two DS3's.


This is almost understood. Is an M13 device basically a MUX (In our case
STS-1-DS1)? From there we would plug the signaling into the Quad Digiums as you
mentioned (this is where I get more comfortable).

Could you kindly post a link to an entry level DCS with OC-n
interfacing and M13s
being used today. That way I can see what functionality each provides
and determine
which better suits our need. I am guessing, but hate to presume:

M13: Adtran MX2800
DCS: Mediant 3000, Metaswitch 0610 etc..


 The advantage comes when you add the 29th DS1.  With VT1.5 it's just adding
 a single channel, DS3 will require another whole DS3 to get an additional
 DS1.


This is why we are going SONET. It's a new transport layer for me compared to
DS3s, and want to make sure I can put everything together at the network level.


 Sincerely,
 Brian LaVallee



Thank you kindly,

Nick from Montreal.

[asterisk-users] ILEC Interconnect

2013-06-12 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Everyone,

We are looking to interconnect with a local ILEC over an OC-n transport layer.
They basically gave us two options in terms of mapping the SONET to the DS3:

* VT1.5s mapping
* DS1s mapping

The second option is quite clear. We would MUX the connection, and plug
the lines into qaud t1 cads etc... The tech mentioned that with the second
option we would also need a DACS to convert back to M13 mapping. I was
scared to tell him that I could not follow can someone explain that to
me kindly :).

I don't know much about VT1.5 mapping. Can someone kindly explain what
the benefits
or lack of are in choosing that option. Also what type of additional
equipment we
would need?

In case I have overlooked something, can you gents please tell me what
I will need in
terms of hardware in both cases (minus routers and switches). What we
are looking at is:

CO
|
|
| OC-n
|
v
DS3 MUX

v
21 Asterisk boxes with quad T1s

[asterisk-users] Implementing G729 Passthrough - VM recordings, maybe even a2billing

2013-06-04 Thread Nick Khamis
We would like implement G729 passthrough for our calls and get rid of
the encoding overhead, and a little confused as to how to do this, and
some unanswered questions. Do we need the open source G729? If so, do
we still need the patent license. Not so much of an issue, just
checking. Finally, a recent howto of how to enforce pci passthrough
and disable encoding would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and there is also the issue with VM recordings, message etc.. On a
slightly unrelated, we are using a2billing on some of our machines,
and I think that we would have to convert that media from slink to
G729 if not done so already...

[asterisk-users] Fiber or regular DSL Supported Gateways/PRI

2013-06-03 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Everyone,

I am looking to getting converged with the local ILEC here in Canada
(Bell or Telus), and was wondering if I can get some more information
about typical setups. DIDs and channel offerings from third party
clecs does not fit our business model and that's why we are looking to
purchasing phone numbers directly from the ILEC, and manging our own
PRIs for a convergence of sorts. My questions are:

* Do we need a T1/3 of DS3 connection setup, or can we function of
regular IPX, DSL, Fiber...
* If we can function on a regular fiber or DSL connection, which media
gateways provide a WAN interface for such a connection, or will we
need a ethernet to T1 adapter to plug our connection to the appliance
(e.g.,  audiocodes or sangoma).

Finally, if you have recently setup such an interconnection, some
details on what to expect, options and so on would be greatly
appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Nick.

 Hi folks,

 My provider given me a Huawei modem which have 2 phone jacks on it, but
 instead of using it I rather redirect my POTS number to my PBX. I ran
 into
 couple of bumps on the road but now it's half-working. I extracted the
 SIP user, pass, server info from the modem and even managed to put my PBX
 into the same VLAN they use, on the exact same IP address like the modem
 but there is 1 problem:
 It seems this modem also sends some session ID to the ISP's sip server,
 something what Asterisk doesn't by default. So if I do this:

 1, Let the modem register at the sip service (the phone number can be
 called and ringing out)
 2, Disconnect the modem
 3, Let the PBX connect to the SIP server
 4, PBX accepts the calls
 5, About 5-10 minutes later it stops doing it, when I call the number it
 shows busy (beep, beep, beep), no matter if I restart Asterisk or not it
 won't work anymore just if I do the same trick again

 I'm sure the remote SIP server breaks the voip channel or something, it
 does NOT drop me out tho, my PBX can register any time without problem
 but
 no packets will ever come forward me anymore. It's kind of hard to solve
 this from 1 side.

 There must be some solution for this.

 Please help!

 Thank You,

Re: [asterisk-users] Network based transcoding

2013-04-12 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Gentlemen,

Thank you so much for your response, we have adopted transcoding cards
in our old system, and they do have some limitations, especially when
it comes to concurrent calls. We were looking more into the lines of a
scalable multi server router like a cisco 3745. And loading it with
maximum number of packet voice DSP modules.
A gateway like the ones mentioned would also work fine. Anything but
an SBC, since we handle that on our own, and it would just be
redundant. What I am kind of unclear about, is how a network appliance
would fit into our architecture when it comes to processing the RTP
streams before passing it on to our servers for example Please
excuse my noob question ;)

 (http://www.sangoma.com/products/netborder-transcoding-appliance/).

 Personally, I prefer to have everything in a single box if there aren't
 too many parallel calls.

Re: [asterisk-users] Network based transcoding

2013-04-12 Thread Nick Khamis
Sorry for the missing info. Our current architecture is as such:

NAT - SIP/RTP Proxy - *(n)

Our concurrent sessions usually peak at between 700-800 channels. On
average about 450. I will of course look at the documentation to
better understand how a transcoding appliance would fit in our
architecture, and thank you so much for the links!!! But generally
speaking, does the appliance process/transocde the RTP stream and then
forward it to our SIP/RTPProxy? Is it really that easy? :)

Again, I will breeze through the documentation to get the detailed
how it works info I am looking for.


Thanks Kindly,

N.

 Hi Nick,

 The BYE is not properly formed and rejected by script - in the 200 OK of
 the INVITE, you can see that your opensips is doing Record-Routing, but the
 BYE does not contain the corresponding Route hdr, so SIP routing is
 impossible.

 Hello Everyone,

  And was wondering if there was anything we can do on our end to fix this
 problem? It seems that providers are not obligated to maintain RR? When the
 caller (internal) initiates the BYE everything is ok, but not the case when
 the callee (external) initiates the BYE.

  Or is asterisk the culprit? Looking at the forwarded INVITE (on the
 asterisk server), I see that the RR has been re-written, as opposed to
 appended when contacting the provider:

[asterisk-users] Asterisk Peaking and 91 Calls And not a Dime More!

2013-04-09 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Everyone,

We are running some torcher tests on our * box using SIPP. The overall idea
of the test is to contact asterisk and play a g729 encoded recording. On
the asterisk side, we are initiating the echo app for the contacted
extension, simulating a two way conversation.

For some reason we cannot get past *91* calls on every test, with a lot of
resources left:

Can we clear OS and * bottlenecks down into the different parts:

OS - Simple commands such as ulimit etc...
Asterisk - Startup directives that will increase whatever (i.e., allocated
memory, -p value)

before addressing hardware resources?

Your help is greatly appreciated,

 Asterisk is not a SIP proxy, it does not forward or relay INVITEs. It is a
 back to back user agent. Each leg is individual.

Hey Joshua,

It was a poor choice of words on my part. What I meant to say was whether
the problem was due to our asterisk configuration re-writing
the RR when initiating the INVITE to our SIP trunk provider. Not sure if
you had looked at the SIP trace included in the original email? If not
I can resend it.


Thanks in Advance,

Nick.

 I saw, but my response stands. Asterisk does not rewrite anything. The
 outgoing leg to your SIP trunk is completely separate, it is not a
 forwarded/modified INVITE. With the information you have available I don't
 think Asterisk is the problem here. The traces also illustrate this, the
 BYE in the trace is from a completely different call than the other
 messages. (You can see by looking at the Call-ID).

Hello Joshua,

Thanks again for your response. I can understand how * does not rewrite
anything. When you mention the difference in call id, are you referring to:

UA - OpenSIPS - Asterisk (Internal)

Call-ID: 595ad334-f06e97fa-3bbc8137@192.168.2.11.


Asterisk (Internal) - SIP Trunk (External)

Call-ID: 5a5fb47111cadd6146746c4446a1790c@70.10.163.44:5060.


SIP Trunk (External) BYE - OpenSIPS (Internal)


Call-ID: 705605f129adbf5a38b5a0ff72de8f39@70.10.163.44:5060.


The call id was changed twice Could this be a two part problem?

 The call id was changed twice Could this be a two part problem?


 Yes. Until you can isolate it more it's all just a guess but it still
 doesn't seem like a problem with Asterisk itself.

Hello Joshua,

As I see asterisk rewrites the callid unexpectedly when initiating the
INVITE with the SIP trunk (trace packet 4).
In the same trace packet 4, the Record-Route Record-Route:
sip:192.168.2.5;lr;did=7ea.60b64711. has also been
removed.

I am sure this is a configuration issue on our part/end, and was wondering
how others with proxy--asterisk integrations
addressed the issue. We can:

1) Rule out the provider as the source of the problem when it comes to the
changing of the callid
2) Relay the non loose route BYE from our proxy to asterisk, which has
record of the new callid.
Not sure if this is a safe idea, or will even work?


What is interesting to mention is the Session Progress:


U 2013/04/09 15:43:32.211016 108.59.2.133:5060 - 192.168.2.10:5060

SIP/2.0 183 Session Progress.
Call-ID: ccc1a3e7-bcfc28f1-ed2257c4@192.168.2.11.


Asterisk has mapped the call with the two different ids together.



 Any help is greatly appreciated,

Nick.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Peaking and 91 Calls And not a Dime More!

That's just it! Nothing! It just does not pass the 91 mark. There are
no failed calls during the test:

  Successful call|0  |20802
  Failed call|0  |0

It's locked on 91 calls. I think I have a channel limit or call limit
thing set somewhere by accident?

Hello Marie,

Increasing the rate got us up 2 folds, Thank you so much for your
help. We have a clustered asterisk setup, and it seems like 200
concurrent calls at 70% cpu is how we can keep these machine humming
comfortably.

Kind Regards,

 So you have total calls = 20802. Does this number grow over time?


   0 new calls during 0.000 s period  0 ms scheduler resolution
   0 calls (limit 100)Peak was 91 calls, after 9 s

 IIRC, peak shows maximum concurrent calls.
 What command line do you use to start SIPP? I see your call rate is 10
 calls/sec and maximum calls set to 100. Have you tried experimenting with
 increasing the call rate (-r command line parameter)? How long is the
 recording you are playing or have you set a call length for SIPP (-d command
 line option) - that is, how long are your calls?

 SIPP generates just as many calls as specified - if you have 10 calls per
 sec, it's quite logical to have ~90 ongoing calls after 9 secs. If your
 recording is about 9 secs, then the first calls will end at that time and
 you will never have more than ~90 concurrent calls.

Hello Steve,

Thank you so much for your response, we are testing each working nodes
separately. These are computers the size of your palm that run on an
average of 10 watts.

With more's law in mind, how far can we push? I just kept the load
under 80% cpu consumptions? Can we increase exponentially till
something starts clunking and pinging?
What I am asking is what is the general rule of thumb when performing
such tests?

Thanks in Advance,

Nick.

 200 channels on a single 7 year old server running CentOS 4.x and
 Asterisk 1.2.x would not be exceptional. I would expect more from a
 cluster of an unknown number of more modern servers running more modern

Hello Everyone,

Was wondering what some of you for stand alone LCR implementations. I
am aware of the LCR module within asterisk and a2billing however, we
are looking for a standalone self less coupled solution. Not sure if
such thing exist. Kind of like CDR Tool but for LCR...

On the network side, Joshua had mentioned some network based encoding
solutions. We would be sold on this. What are some of the routers out
there that provide this capability with descent throughput? We were
considering Cisco 3745 with a NM-HDV2 which transcoding from G.711 to
G.729 handles 96 sessions. Not sure if this was the best bang for our
buck?

[asterisk-users] Using type=friend a mistake?

2013-03-25 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Everyone,

Just looking to secure our * box, and stumbled on the following

This advice may run counter to the majority of documentation, sample
files and examples shown on the voip-info.org site and on Asterisk
forums, but you’ll have to take my word for it – using “type=friend”
is a big mistake! It will make your Asterisk server much more
vulnerable because “type=friend” actually causes two objects to be
created – a SIP peer and a SIP user. This gives the potential hacker
two entrance doors into your PBX, one of which has comparatively weak
security. The problem is that a “user” is allowed to connect from any
remote IP address, not just the address specified in the host
parameter. Even if you want to allow connections from any address, it
is much better to use “host=dynamic” than to use “type=friend”.,
http://kb.smartvox.co.uk/asterisk/secure-asterisk-pbx-part-2/

Is this true? Before I update all my type to peer, what are some
of the things we needs to keep in mind when using friend vs. peer from
a security standpoint?

Thanks in Advance,

Nick.

[asterisk-users] Optimizing Asterisk Environment

2013-03-23 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Everyone,

We are getting some rather poor results (relative) with our Asterisk
setup. Not sure if we are using the sipp correctly etc.. but
nevertheless, is there any documentation that describes how we can get
the most our of our Asterisk box. For example when we hit the too
many file error, and fixing it using ulimit. Also, is there any
way we can allocate sufficient memory to our Asterisk instance when
starting the PBX.

An up to date and in-depth tutorial that covers this would be great. A
quick search yielded pretty motivating success stories, but no little
to no description on how to achieve them.


Kind Regards,

Nick.

Oh no secret. Some things I do is increase the ulimit size. I was
wondering if there was a way to increase allocated memory. I have been
reading about a -p option but when I start asterisk using asterisk -p
-10 it does not accept it but asterisk -p 10 works fine. Not sure
if that was the intended new value.

Also, I  just want to mention I am not trying to break any records.
Just would like to get a ~200 concurrent call stable environment using
G729 out of our setup.

Re: [asterisk-users] Optimizing Asterisk Environment

2013-03-23 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Gentlemen,

Thank you so much for your responses. We have been working on a
SIP/RTP Proxy+Asterisk in backed by MySQL for a few weeks. Everything
is working nicely I am pleased to say. And will be making some
donations for G729 licenses etc.. (it's the least we can do to support
the cause).

Speaking about transcoding cards. We are functioning 100% on SIP using
u/alaw and eventually G729. Some typical observations being great
performance when not using G729 :)...
Is there any transcoding happening when using only G729 and no other
codec? We tried disallow=all and allow=g729 and judging by the CPU
load 260% there seems to be...

I hope this is not a silly question, but if we force the DID reseller
to send only G729 encoded media, our asterisk server only allows G729,
and finally for termination most sip trunk providers have g729 in
there list of supported codecs, would there still be transcoding
happening on our * box? I hope this is not as silly question as I
think

To answer your question, we also tried with only ulaw and alaw and we
seem to be stuck on exactly 101 peak. Is there a limit setting
hidden in one of the *.conf files?

We let sipp run for almost 3 hours on our box, from another local
computer using the following command:

extensions.conf

exten = 1002,1,Answer
exten = 1002,n,Goto(demo,s,1)
exten = 1002,n,Hangup

./sipp -sn uac -d 1 -s 1002 test.example.com -l 200 -mp 5606:


And we got the following results: http://pastebin.com/J0YCprCb

At 9.4 cps 96963 calls were executed with 0 failed calls. Where is the
concurrent call figure in this tool? Please forgive me still getting
use to it :).

In regards to hardware transcoding cards for SIP protocol. Please let
us know of some digium solutions. Again, we would love to support the
cause.

Nick.

 Are you transcoding? If so then that is where most of your CPU is going,
 and
 the only option to make it go further is to use a hardware transcoding
 solution.

Hello Everyone,

We are aware of a2billing and it's LCR functionality. I just wanted to
know what other solutions you may be using. Maybe a tool that is a
self contained module (ie a2billinig - Asterisk - LCR Tool -

[asterisk-users] Register Free Opensips/Asterisk Integration

2013-03-09 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Everyone,

I have gone through a few really good tutorials from the OpenSIPS
site, Asterisk resources etc.. The unanswered question (and final
piece of our puzzle) is if it's possible to have a register free
environment in an OpenSIPS/Asterisk integration. Most approaches have
OpenSIPS relay the UA's REGISTER request to Asterisk which has
host=dynamic set for the Friend/Peer and everything works as
expected.

Where I run into problems is in Inbound calls. When I try to call the
extension from a DID I am receiving Unable to create channel of type
'SIP' (cause 20 - Unknown). And rightfully so!
Reason being:

SIP Show Peers Yields:

Name/username HostDynForcerport ACL Port
Status   Realtime
1001/1001  192.168.2.5N  5060
UNREACHABLE Cached RT
TTrunk/sip.exp.com 192.168.2.5N  5060 UNKNOWN Cached RT


As for who will keep track of the UA location, the OpenSIPS `location`
table has the correct
info:

select username,domain,contact,socket from location;
+--+++--+
| username | domain | contact| socket
 |
+--+++--+
| 1001 | sip.exp.com | sip:1001@192.168.2.11:5060 | udp:192.168.2.5:5060 |
+--+++--+

OpenSIPS: sip.exp.com
OpenSIPS: 192.168.2.5
Asterisk: 192.168.2.10
UA: 192.168.2.11

I have set `host=sip.exp.com' for the UA but the UA is still
`UNREACHABLE` by asterisk

As for the rest of the media related stuff, everything works
perfectly. Outbound works fine. As you know, this only poses a problem
with inbound calls to the UAs.

Your Help is Greatly Appreciated,

Nick.

Re: [asterisk-users] Moving User Agent To Remote Location

2013-01-05 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Ishfaq, and Isrlgb,

The canreinvite value for UA friend entries are set to no, and for
the OpenSIPS peer entry it's set to yes. I do have esternip and
localnet cid set in sip.conf.
I did not want to start a new email, but part of my problem right now
is that OpenSIPS is in charge of performing the AUTH and REGISTER.
This is fine for peers with static host definition, but not for the
dynamic ones.

Is it possible to have the fullcontact realtime info in
sip_buddies populated upon initial INVITE? This is my first problem
right now. After that will come RTP, and Codec issues...
PS I have seen fullcontact info get populated with the correctly in
the past, just can't get it to do it every time

Thanks for your help!!!

[asterisk-users] Moving User Agent To Remote Location

2013-01-03 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Everyone,

Before getting into SIP and RTP traces, I wanted to clarify some of
the sip.conf settings that may to some seem redundant or have a
misconception with. I do apologize if this has been discussed time and
time again as I would imagine. If anything, this email would make
google search results that much stronger :).

With the UA local to my network I had tested two way audio, and now
with the phone outside of network, we have no way audio. Before
discussing NAT (which is enabled on the peer), and port forwarding
(which is setup on the remote location), I would like to make sure I
fully understand all the sip.conf settings. We are using Asterisk
realtime via sip_buddies, and the fields in question are:

(Enclosed in brackets are an example value for the setting)

* host (dynamic): No problem here. Just wanted to mention that it's
set as such
* nat (yes): No problem here either
* defaultuser (1...@example.com): Does the @example.com have to
point to the UA (i.e., (1003@ua-public-ip), or is it just a name type
field?
* fullcontact: What to put here for a UA that is running at a remote
location with dynamic external IP?
* ipaddr (ua-public-ip): I did try setting it to the public ip of the
UA, but is that really practical?
What if I don't know where the initial registration request is coming
from? I am guessing host=dynamic takes care of that.
* defaultip??
* dynamic: Should this be set to yes, or is host=dynamic sufficient?

The phone registers fine, and terminates a call through our providers.
Just no audio both ways, which would suggest something more that an
RTP issue which should at least have one way outgoing audio.

Things that have been attempted:
* Port forwarding to the phone
* Changing defaultuser to 1003@ua-public-ip. This made our OpenSIPS
sip proxy through a fit.

Things I will attempt today:
Calling the UA extension from an extension here
SIP trace

Your help is greatly appreciated!!!

Nick.

Oh that's so smart!!! So, if I did not misunderstand you, for this one

Just for testing purposes, and deduce my way from there? Right now I
am trying to call the phone from my softphone. That being said, I
currently I am not able to reach the remote extension from my location

It's actually not able to create the SIP channel between the two UA? I

 I'm going to vote for the RTP issue.  If you are establishing a call but
 have no audio, you are getting the 5060 port, but not the 1-2 range
 that RTP normally expects. A better practice is to allocate 4 ports per
 line you expect to use in rtp.conf (1-2 would allow 2500 lines;
 much
 more that most folks need and more holes to monitor).

 The rtpend should be 10008 and rtpstart should be 10005.  A SIP call in
 Asterisk originates on 5060 (5061 for TLS) and then spawns two RTP channels
 for audio.  AFAIK the odd channel is send and the even channel is receive
 (smarter folks than me like Tzafir can give you the specifics; this was
 covered at least twice in 2012 threads).  If you open 5060 on your
 NAT/firewall, but open no RTP channels, you will establish a call with no
 sound.

just don't know who else would read this email in the future!!!

PS: The public IP of the remote UA is correct.

SIP Show Peers:

 Oh that's so smart!!! So, if I did not misunderstand you, for this
 one call, have:
 rtpstart=10004
 rtpend=1008

 The rtpend should be 10008 and rtpstart should be 10005.  A SIP call in
 Asterisk originates on 5060 (5061 for TLS) and then spawns two RTP
 channels
 for audio.  AFAIK the odd channel is send and the even channel is receive
 (smarter folks than me like Tzafir can give you the specifics; this was
 covered at least twice in 2012 threads).  If you open 5060 on your
 NAT/firewall, but open no RTP channels, you will establish a call with no
 sound.

 If your objective is to originate calls in the US (using whatever
 technology), route them over SIP and then terminate them to the PSTN in
 India, then yes: your Indian presence would need a VoIP licence.
 Similarly for the reverse: originate a call from Indian PSTN to your
 local office here and route it using VoIP to any destination (whether
 within India or abroad).  A licence is required in that case too.

 In general, interconnection of two different entities by bridging Indian
 PSTN with any other technology requires a licence.  If you're only doing
 VoIP-VoIP, or PSTN-PSTN, or bridging an Indian VoIP call to PSTN outside
 India then it's permitted in principle.  This is why, e.g., Skype is
 permitted: it doesn't connect to the Indian PSTN at any stage.

 Once again, IANAL and TINLA.  This is purely from my (mostly informed)
 understanding of the current laws.

[asterisk-users] Struggling with Extensions in Realtime

2011-12-15 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Everyone,

Can someone please let me know what the correct way to deal with
extensions for a particular user
using asterisk reatime. For a user 1001, we would like to support:

Local Calls: 123-456-7890
LD Calls: 1-123-456-7890
INT Calls: 011-64-03-123-456-7890
PBX EXT:1002

Do I need to insert multiple records for use 1001, each pointing to
the different extensions in the extensions
table (i.e., local-context, ld-context, int-context, and pbx-context)?

Thanks in Advance,

Nick.

[asterisk-users] Contexts and Extensions

2011-12-15 Thread Nick Khamis
Hello Everyone,

For inbound, I am trying to specify a specific context. Everything
works fine using the IP address, however with domain name
it's not working at all. I tried changing the:

Via: SIP/2.0/UDP test.com, and the
Record-Route: sip:test.com;lr;did=a1a.4d23bae4

If I have a peer with the host, fromdomain, and outboundprxy set as
the IP address the correct context is found context-from-test,
but not using the domain name test.com.

Asterisk still knows that the call is coming from IP address:

chan_sip.c:22081 handle_request_invite: Call from ''
(192.168.2.102:5060) to extension '1001' rejected because extension
not found in context 'internal'.

 There are some Allison Smith Speaks blogs out there with good IVR hints.
 Some hints from my experience
 1.  The recommended volume adjustment for asterisk is -3 DB (that's -3 if
 you look at the wav in Audaciity).   This will vary depending on your flavor
 of Asterisk and your input (SIP/DAHDI/etc).
 2.  Use a metronome - regular speech has a large variance in tempo.  If you
 say leave your message after the tone normally you are more likely to get
 Nick's 90 year old aunt than leave-your-message-after-the-tone.
 3.  If you aren't going to buy a high quality microphone and software,
 you're just as well off recording using the normal record function.

 They are getting dhcp from their local router.

 I am wondering if it could either be a bug in the polycom firmware or
 something like a probe into the phone.

 I am pretty sure I read that phantom rings are sip calls to a phone where
 they are probing for extensions or something; cant remember.

 I have a Polycom Soundpoint IP335.



 There are no inbound routes set to the phones yet.



 However, the phones are getting phantom rings.



 What is the legitimacy of these calls?



 Is there something I need to block to stop it?



 I believe its people trying to hack the phones/phone system but I
 cannot find where I read that before.



 Thanks,

 I don't think that's it. I have had the Polycom on my test site ring
 unexpectadly. It could be a bug in asterisk. Are you using 1.8?

I actually come from a speech recognition and natural language

 Yes, though quite a while ago.
 About three years ago, i used pci-passthrough to give a dom-U access to
 a localy mounted smartcard.
 But i have a vague feeling that you are up to something else...

 I know that forwarding has been done for ethernet and even VGA-cards,
 the mere idea of forwarding a analogue or PRI card is quite something
 else: Timing is here essential..

 There are a few references to allowing guest access to timing

 Simples. Load up the dahdi modules in the host and all the

 Be sure to also create /dev/dahdi/{ctl,timer,pseudo,channel} for the

Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco

2011-11-04 Thread Nick Khamis
Thank you guys for your response,

 One FXS port can only handle one call. A PRI T1 gateway can handle 23 call 
 channels. A single T1 Data line with SIP can  handle about 18 call 
 channels running G711, 37 channels running g729

I just want to make sure that a T1 Gateway (capable of 23 call
channels), plugged into an FXS port (capable of one call), is not a
bottleneck. I.e., even though our network can handle upto 23 channels,
we can only support 1 concurrent call becuase of the single FXS? What
I am trying to figure out is what would I need to have the same
capabilities as a company offering DIDs. Which mediant, and maybe a
nice illustration?

Thanks in Advance,

Nick.

Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco

2011-11-04 Thread Nick Khamis
I realized there was an error in my last post. I meant analog gateway
plugged into and FXO port.
DIDs must start somwhere. And I am under the impression that the
telcos are the one that have
control over that? Therefore, we would first need an analog gateway
plugged into an FXO, before
being able to go through the T1s and media servers? Your insight is
greatly appreciated.

Nick.
