Re: [Asterisk-Users] what cable to connect a legacy PBX to a TE410P ?

2006-04-22 Thread Paul Mahler
A T carrier cable is not the same as an ethernet cable. A T carrier  cable uses 
a real metal shielded RJ-45 and loosely twisted pair wire.  With most modern T 
carrier equipment, you can use a CAT-5 ethernet cable  instead of a real T 
carrier cable. A T-carrier crossover cable does not  have the same wiring 
pattern as a crossover ethernet cable. With an  older piece of equipment like 
the Matra, I would be tempted to purchase  a real T carrier crossover cable. 
This is covered in my book, by the way.

I agree. I haven't had a problem using CAT-5, even for long runs, however it's 
not a real T-Carrier cable and I didn't know how old the PBX is. 

Paul

I have not in my experience seen any problems with using a Good Quality
Cat5 vs. Cat 3 (telco standard) cable for X-connects.  YMMV, but you
should be fine. As far as the shielding goes, I use UTP cables and
Connectors all the time and some of my X-connects run over 100 feet.

Any

Based on our benchmarking, I am VERY
skeptical of this number. Im guessing that you dont really have
RTP streams going through the NIC.

5,000 concurrent calls system rollout question





I have tested an asterisk server with over 5000 concurrent calls.

The system setup was a P4 HT 3Ghz, 4 Gb RAM, and 1 gbps Ethernet
connection on a cisco 3560 switch.



This works, but puts some serious stresses on the system.

Why don't u considered using g.729 codec, this will at least lower the
bandwidth consumption significantly, and, you can overcome the CPU resource
issue by just using a server grade multi CPU xeon server.



I would never the less still connect the system via 2 ethernet
connections, just for some redundancy, as mentioned before in this thread.



Bandwidth should be about 24 kbps (half duplex) per call



So, 5000 * 24 is roughly 120 mbps, so a gigabit Ethernet should do just
fine.

 additionally, 5000 simultaneous SIP calls at 20ms

 not too many boxes can handle such packet load,

Why not bond multiple NICs together to do a load

provide redundancy as well.

What's you mix of calls
going SIP/IAXand to PSTN?

We've done some benchmark experiments on a 3GHz HT box with 1GB of ram,
mirrored traditional IDE disks. The box has a Digium quad-PRI, a TDM40B, a
TDM22B and a Sirrix quad-BRI board in it. This box can run 120 active calls
over 4 PRI spans. Its running 
MusicOnHold into 60 of the channels, playing various GSM prompts into the other
60. The user cpu usage is about 25%, the system cpu
about 25% also. We can add to that 5000 registered SIP peers and 5000 registered
IAX2 peers - total of about 100 registration refreshes per second. That adds
about 40% more user CPU and pretty much fills up CPU. Audio quality is still
perfectly fine, and PRI slips few and far between. Load average for the whole
mix sits between 5 and 10. About 550Kb/s out and 400Kb/s out on the ethernet
for the registration traffic.

  Hi, Zoa, 
  yes, these
  calls are from SIP to SIP. We will have more than 3000 (more like
  5000)concurrent calls come into system and we will need to handle them. 
  We will also
  need an IVR function as well. 
  I am not up
  to speed on Asterisk yet, so, I am a little bit confused by all the different
  ways of doing it. Someone is talking about IAX:
  I think it can only be used between Asterisk servers, right? 
  In this particula
  rscenario we are getting calls as SIP directly from carrier, so we will not
  need to do any conversion (I think). We just route the calls to the
  destination, that's it. 
  Any
  suggestions on how to proceed? Can Asterisk do it? 
  I read
  somewhere that it takes about 30 MHz per one voice channel, so if we want to
  have 5,000 calls, we will need 150,000 MHz? Thats like 50 3 GHz machines...
  Not going to fly with our people. 
  Or do 30 MHz
  are only necessary for transcoding? In other words, if it comes in as SIP and
  we keep it that way, canwe make ita
  bt more feasible number?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Second edition of my * book has been released

2006-01-10 Thread Paul Mahler
Hi Greg,

My book is a good place for a beginner to get started. I also find it to be
useful as a reference for Asterisk. It's not an advanced book, there are
advanced features it doesn't cover, for example AGI or the management
interface. 

It should be very helpful for your customers. It should be helpful for a
beginning to intermediate administrator. I still frequently refer to it
myself when I'm having a senior moment. :) 

There isn't anything in the book that would make it less useful for the CVS
or stable branches. 

The O'Reilly book is excellent. I think my book complements the O'Reilly
book. If I were just starting I would buy both. I think my book may be a bit
more useful as a reference. I think I cover a bit more beginner's territory.


Hope This Helps,

Paul

Well,

U right, many missing informations.

The case is quite simple(I guess), we have dids, and each call to these dids
has to be routed to the right handset thru Asterisk, no Ivr at this time, at
least an answering machine in case of busy or not available users.
For the rest, we need to be able to have external calls to pstn, or even to

What you want to do depends largely on what you want to do.  While that
seems like a cylic statement I will try to explain.  You have said that you
want to route calls between your asterisk box and the PSTN via a VoIP
provider that you have.  So far that seems simple, but how are those calls
going to go bewteen the office workers and asterisk?  You will need
configurations for that.  How are the inbound calls going to be routed?  Via
an IVR?  Well you will have to configure that.  There is a lot of
information that is missing from this setup.  

www.voip-info.org has a lot of asterisk examples including configuration
files.  You may find something there that does what you want.

I cant easily help you solve this problem (and suspect that no one else can
either) until you provide more information on exactly what you want.  

If you wish to discuss this offl ist feel free to email me directly.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Soekris and Asterisk

2005-10-12 Thread Paul Mahler
You need about 30MHz per channel. That means the Soekris can only handle part
of a T1, it will never handle a quad span.

 Craig,
 
   It all depends on where you are going to do what (PRI, echo cancel, 
 etc).  Also, for four spans the interrupt load alone could probably 
 saturate the CPU.
 
   If you want to try, AstLinux will be an excellent start...

 P.S. - I created AstLinux, so of course I would recommend it!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dual PRI fail over

2005-10-11 Thread Paul Mahler
If you have a PRI, many vendors will support sending calls to an alternate
destination if the T1 is down. SBC, for example, calls this enhanced alternte
routing. If the T1 fails, call are routed to the destination of your choice at
the SS7 switch.

 I currently have a single PRI however we are getting a second PRI, and the
 provider (qwest) wants to know if our PBX supports GSAS (they say its a
 redundant d-channel technology but searching on google for GSAS reveals less
 than nothing).  I've set something similar up before on a cisco 5350, where
 if
 one of the PRIs fails, all of the calls destined for either PRI will be
 routed
 down the one that didn't fail.  Basically the 2 PRIs are bonded together, and
 act as one.  During normal operation the calls come down each PRI in a load
 balanced fashion (IE if I've got 30 calls up, 15 will be on one PRI and 15 on
 the other).
 
 Is there any way to set something similar to this up in Asterisk?

[Asterisk-Users] IAX2 Softphone Quality Network Cards

2005-08-27 Thread Paul Mahler
I have had uniformly bad experiences with soft phones when there are network
issues. Hardware phones seem to work much better if there are network problems.
For example, I have been able to make fine calls over a wireless link I use
with a cisco 7960, but NO softphone works over the same link. 

You should also look at the settings for the NIC on the computer. Are your
network equipment and NIC both set for full or half duplex? They should be set
to the same duplex setting. GIG equipment is easier, it defaults to full
duplex. 

Hope this helps!

Paul

[Asterisk-Users] wildcard/FXO config

2005-08-13 Thread Paul Mahler
Note that the single line card will not work in a variety of more recent
servers including Dell servers. 

First, you have to get the card configured to run with Linux. This means
loading the correct driver and then configuring the driver. The driver
configuration information is held in the file /etc/zaptel.conf. Here is what
you need in zaptel.conf to configure your single port FXO board:

loadzone=us 
defaultzone=us
fxsls=1 ; fxl interface on fxo port
; channel one
; loop start

The command ztcfg uses the contents of the file, zaptel.conf, to configure the
driver. 

The file /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf contains the information used to configure *
for the board. Here is a working example of a configuration for the single line
FXO card.

[Asterisk-Users] Portable USB headset for VoIP

I've bought bunches of these:  http://www.tigernetcom.com/products_USB_100.html


they work great. Very handy. 

Paul

[EMAIL PROTECTED]


I'm trying to find a voip-suitable USB headset (I.E. headphones +
microphone) which I can use with my laptop while I'm traveling and using
Firefly or another softphone.

I'm currently using a Logitech headset which works well (except the echo it
generates toward the other caller when I turn up the gains too high), but it
just doesn't carry well - in fact, I can't carry it in my laptop case any more
just becuase it doesn't fit and it was getting very beat up.
I'd like to find something which folds up and is designed for travel.  It has
to be USB sicne I don't have a MIC in (just line) on my laptop.

Any ideas?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] OT: USB handsets / softphones

2005-04-16 Thread Paul Mahler
I agree, this is a fun device. It's a lot easier to use than a headset. 

The sound quality is excellent. Just don't turn up the volume too much or you
will get a lot of echo. Echo is less of a problem with a good usb headset. 

It's a little quirky. All the sound from your pc gets routed to the phone. You 
can set x-lite to send ringing elsewhere. You have to load the driver that
comes with the phone to be able to dial from the phone keypad. 

to dial a call, you press the dail button, dial the number, and press the dial
button again. 




I can stand by the USB U2 Phone sold at http://www.eezeephone.com connected to
a Firefly Third Party Version of the Softphone. This is one of the best combos
I have ever used. Voice quality is phenomenal when using GSM or ILBC at just
one end (better if on bothe ends)

[Asterisk-Users] cisco 7960 SIP setup

2005-04-16 Thread Paul Mahler
There's a long chapter in my book about re-programming the 7960 from skinny to
SIP that might help you out. Figuring it out was non-trivial. You can get the
book at Amazon. 

TKS, 

Paul Mahler



I can't get the 7960 to reconfigure and work. I am a newbie to voip. I went
through the list and read some other comments about the 7960 and unlocking it.
It is a used 7960 that came with CallManager. I need to have SIP. I first reset
the phone to factory defaults then I changed the TFTP server address in the
settings. I have unlocked the phone with **# and it shows the lock as unlocked
in the upper right hand corner. I was told that the phone should be able to
download the SIP... file once the TFTP address was changed. So far nothing
though. Any ideas?

You can purchase a T1 card and a channel bank. Or you can buy a gateway device,

be very careful with your choice of vendors for a gateway. I had what I thought
was the worst support of my entire career with Audiocodes. I found the
documentation to be useless, too. My advice is to stay far, far away from
Audiocodes.

[Asterisk-Users] We just released our new Asterisk Installation CD set. with 24/7 monitoring

2005-03-25 Thread Paul Mahler
Here's our recent announcement of our new Asterisk Installation CD set: 
 
Signate has announced its new Asterisk Installation 2005 CD Set. It's, a
complete software PBX (private branch exchange) telephony appliance in a single
package. The CD set installs Linux pre-configured for telephony, a stable 1.0x
distribution of the open source Asterisk PBX, and Signate's optional, free PBX
monitoring. 
 
When Signate's Asterisk Installation 2005 CD set is loaded onto a PC with an
internet or PSTN telephone connection, it creates a running VoIP PBX ready for
configuration in about twenty minutes. 
 
SigMON, Signate's included PBX monitoring software, helps keep the PBX running.
SigMON monitors about 20 different conditions on the PBX and sends alerts if a
condition needs to be attended to. Monitored conditions range from hardware
conditions such as available disk space and CPU utilization, software
conditions such as whether the PBX is running, and telephony conditions such
the state of connections to telecommunications providers. One instance of
Signate’s PBX monitoring service is free for the PBX created by a Signate
Asterisk Installation 2005 CD set.
 
Signate’s VoIP Telephony with Asterisk Book and CD Set is $89.95 and Signate's
Asterisk Installation 2005 CD is $49.95.  They are available at Amazon, Signate
or Ebay.

[Asterisk-Users] Forklift a 2000 phone PBX

2005-03-25 Thread Paul Mahler
We sell an Asterisk based soft switch that starts at 5000 simultaneous
connections and goes up from there. 

paul

[EMAIL PROTECTED]


I'm staring at an RFP--this company wants to replace a 2000 position PBX (at
eight locations) with a new system.  Their mindset is Nortel/Avaya because they
talk about 28-button digital sets.  The do specify a few IP phones for just one
location, so they are aware of VoIP.

I'm going to bid on this--there's nothing to lose except the time it takes to
write the proposal.  I'll bid an off site Asterisk system with SIP telephones. 
Using the metric of 100 SIP phones/box, I'll bid twenty Asterisk boxes with ten
boxes at each of two hosting locations.  Each phone will have registrations to
both sites.

The big unknown is wiring.  I'm going to assume the worst, that the existing
LAN is overloaded.  I would a) have to make LAN wiring out of existing Cat3
wiring, or b) install a new voice-only LAN.

Does anyone know how to qualify existing Cat3 wiring for use as a LAN?

Has anyone does an Asterisk system on this scale?

Thanks for your help,
Mike

P.S.  Sorry for the cross post, but I would like everyone to see this.

You can also use * and linux to partialize the T1. You better plan on

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk locking up - 99.9% CPU

Are you at run level 3? X can cause this if you are at run level 5.

Hello

We are running Asterisk CVS 22/12/04 and pwlib/oh323 pandora version to work
with our call agent.

Unfortunately **VERY** frequently, asterisk stops responding and goes to 99.9%
CPU.  There is no debug output or other information that indicates there is a
problem...

Rather than continually restarting, can anyone make suggestions as to how we
can track this down **OR** has anyone got the latest oh323/pwlb to work with
CVS Head ?

I see there is documentaiton on http://www.inaccessnetworks.com for the latest
HEAD working with oh323 and pwlib...

Any pointers would be appreciated

[Asterisk-Users] Signate is now offering the dCAP test.

2005-03-06 Thread Paul Mahler
Now Available – The Signate dCAP Certification Review and Exam for
Asterisk--The Asterisk Open Source PBX Software Proficiency Certification. 

Signate, the leading provider of Asterisk-related training, will offer the dCAP
Asterisk Professional Certification examination in San Francisco and other
cities starting March 25, 2005, dCAP testing is offered the day after Signate’s
three-day Introduction to Asterisk class. A half-day of training assists test
takers by covering additional topics not covered in the Signate introductory
course. 

To become a dCAP, candidates must pass a 150 question written test and a
hands-on practical examination. The practical requires building and configuring
a PBX. The $595 fee includes the $275 cost of the certification exam.

“dCAP certification will assure employers that they are talking to a qualified
professional with proven proficiency in Asterisk PBX technologies,” said Robert
Messer, Founder of  ABP Technology, a leading distributor of VoIP products
through channel partners. “We think our resellers will also benefit from the
increased credibility that certification will bring them with prospective
customers.” 

Certified Asterisk Professionals receive many business benefits from
certification including priority access to technical support, co-marketing
opportunities, and the right to use the dCAP logo. 

Candidates attending the training with no prior hands-on Asterisk experience
will find the dCAP examination difficult to pass. Signate’s Introduction to
Asterisk and dCAP Certification Review prepares test takers for the
certification exam. 
A Signate training class schedule is posted at
http://www.signate.com/training.php.

Certification is given under license from Digium.

 Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] High capacity voicemail
 
 Marcin,
 
 This depends enormously on the type of users.
 
 For 5000 users, I would normally recommend IBM's Unified Messaging
 product. For business users on that, I normally recommend at least one
 E1 per 2000 users as a starting point. For residential users, at least
 one E1 per 5000 users. IBM-UM is voicemail with web and email interfaces
 (which reduces traffic) and a lot of follow-me and operator services
 (which increases traffic if you can't do release link transfers, and
 reduces it if you can). Asterisk would be similar.
 
 If you can do release link transfers, then you can get more users per
 trunk; in some scenarios up to double the number. The above figures
 assume you can.
 
 The above figures are just a starting point; there is a good chance that
 your users are not typical. For example, in some countries in Asia, you
 can support many more business users - if callers hear a voicemail
 greeting, they usually hang up immediately, and call the person's mobile
 phone. You really need to do a pilot with a subset of users to gauge how
 much they use the system, and what features they use.
 
 For 5000 users, I would also consider some form of redundancy and
 automatic failover. 5000 angry users is not a pleasant sight!
 
 My company, Integrics Ltd, does consulting and installations of both
 Asterisk and IBM-UM. If you'd like help planning and installing such
 systems, drop me an email or give me a call.

 Hello,
 
 I am new to this list and to asterisk and going through the 
 archive file I did not find an answer to my problem. 
 
 I have a VoIP network working fine with multiple gateways 
 registered to a Cisco H.323 Gatekeeper. I have successfully 
 registered Asterisk as a GW in that network and also 
 successfully registered two X-Lite SIP Client to asterisk 
 that call to each other.
 
 I want to connect to the H.323 network but call does not 
 progress from the SIP to the H.323 network.
 
   This is the ASterisk console output.
 
 -- Registered SIP '1154538511' at 192.168.11.46 port 5060

   == Spawn extension (default, #, 2) exited non-zero on

 If I dial from an ATA, An AS5300, or an Audiocodes GW the 
 number 01145568423 through the Gatekeeper, it works.
 
 Any ideas ?

 I've got a Linksys BEFSR41 at home with RoadRunner service. 
 I'm pretty sure it doesn't do QoS. I'm using WinXP Pro and 
 not sure if it does QoS. I'm using SJ Phone and...(follow the 
 pattern).
 
 I have to stop all network traffic on my machine if I want to 
 have any hopes of making a clear call. But I shouldn't need 
 to do that, right? Because somewhere the data packets should 
 be getting queued and my voice packets should be having top 
 priority right?
 
 How can I ensure this?

 Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Non-PRI T1 configuration
 
   I'm trying to hook up a non-PRI fractional T1 using a T400P 
 port. The Telco says that it is provisioned as AMI with SF 
 (not ESF) and that they are  signalling by sending down a 
 straight DS1 (I'm not sure what exactly that means).  They 
 are also sending DNIS over these channels. I currently run it 
 through a channel bank for my IVR application and it works 
 fine but I am now trying to convert to *.
 
   This leaves me with three questions. First, * does not have 
 an option for SF framing. If I use ESF, should that work or 
 is there another way?
 
   Second, how do I configure the channel signalling in both 
 zaptel.conf and zapata.conf?
 
   Third, how can I capture the DNIS in this situation or will 
 it automatically be available in the ${EXTEN} variable and 
 also passed to AGI scripts?
 
   I would appreciate any help.

Everyone has their own very strong opinions on which distro is better. I'm

 Subject: [Asterisk-Users] which distro for asterisk?
 
 Hi
 
 I want to play a bit with Asterisk. I currentlly install a 
 new system for that and I would like to get your 
 recommendations regarding the linux distro to use there.
 
 This is NOT intended to become a general distro flame war. My 
 favorite distro is  and no argument that you flame 
 will convince me here (probably because I've heard it before).
 
 However I would like to minimize the OS maintinance task. I 
 really wouldn't like to start worrying about upgrading sshd 
 due to some stupid secuirty hole, and to worry what will it 
 break on my system. I expect my distro to do that for me. 
 
 I'd also like to have solid astrisk packages that won't break 
 unnecessarily when the sshd package is updated next time. 
 Hopefully also some sort of integration of zaptel in the 
 distro's kernel package.
 
 I saw numerous complaints about unofficial RPM packages of asterisk.
 Besides them, the following free distros include asterisk packages:
 
 1. Debian: http://packages.debian.org/asterisk . 
 2. Gentoo: Current package seems to be version 0.9.0 from 
 10-May-2004 3. The DAG repository for RH/Fedora:
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/asterisk/
 
 I have some experince with Debian, Mandrake and 
 RedHat/Fedora. I'm unfamiliar with Gentoo and I have no 
 good/bad experince with DAG packages with respect to quality 
 and stability.
 
 Any recommendations, relevant experince and other learned opinions?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] one extention, multiple phones

2004-07-31 Thread Paul Mahler
You can easily ring different phones at the same time within the dial
command. For example,

SIP/4024${PRITRUNK1}/16505551212${PRITRUNK1}/1411212

A blind transfer will move the call to the next phone. Or you can park the
call.

 Subject: [Asterisk-Users] one extention, multiple phones
 
 
 Is it possible to get a few 7960's and asterisk to allow all 
 of the 7960 phones to use one extentsion and can only be used 
 by one person at a time, have it indicate on the other 7960's 
 when one of the others has the line engaged. Basicly so like 
 I can setup a rule when an incoming call comes from IAX to 
 divert to this extension, it will ring the extension (thus 
 all phones), and allow me to place a call on hold on one 
 phone and pick it up on another and the original phone would 
 acknowledge that the call has been picked up and disengage.
 Can I do this without call parking?
 
  Basicly the same model as having a bunch of phones on a pstn 
 line with each phone having a hold button. The goal here is 
 to allow me to pick up a call on any of the 7960's anywhere 
 in my house and be able to move from room to room as needed 
 by placing the call on hold and picking it up on one of the 
 other phones in the house.

 Hiya,
 
 I've been seeing this lately with our Asterisk PBX as well.  With 
 Asterisk CVS HEAD 05-21, the ringing was normal.  After our last 
 upgrade, CVS HEAD 07-03, the first ring is almost always one 
 continuous 
 ring that lasts about 2 to 3 seconds.
 
 We're noticing other problems too, such as hangup detection.  This 
 worked flawlessly for us with CVS HEAD 05-21 (we have a TDM400P card 
 with 1 FXS and 1 FXO).  But, now Asterisk isn't detecting hangups at 
 all.  I'm not sure at the moment if something on the actual 
 POTS line 
 has changed, or if it's a problem with the CVS version we're running.
 
 Anyone else noticing strange behaviour such as the above?
 
 jup, me2: If i'm calling my Cisco 7960 from my cellphone, the 
 Cisco rings
 3-5
 times before i hear the ring on the cellphones. I tried 
 progress=yes and no in sip.conf, no difference.
 
 The calls come in on a BRI with chan_capi, OR on a Cisco 3620 
 with VIC-2BRI, it's the same problem both ways, so its 
 neither capi nor a SIP problem...
 
 I'm using CVS from today.
 
 I've just opened a bug with ID2062, maybe someone knows when 
 exacty this problem started...
 
 Andreas.

   When I call a SIP user, the phone should ring in more

   extentions. Also more than one phone should be able to
   register with
   asterisk. Right now it is not the case.
  
   There is no issue here. You seem to be confused, that's all.
  
   A SIP account is a SIP account and an extension is an 
 extension. You 
   can assign an extension to an account (or to multiple 
 accounts) and 
   the tool for that is the dial command.
  
   However, there is no implicit assignment between an 
 extension and an 
   account and that is good so. This should not be changed 
 because it 
   would harm Asterisk's flexibility and manageability.
  
  
   This type of situations might be needed in call centres.
   
   Called 12345
   |---(12345) Ringing
   |---(12345) Ringing
   |---(12345) Ringing
  
   As I said, you are confusing extensions with accounts. The first 
   12345 is an extension, the three (12345)s are accounts. Those 
   are different layers, don't mix them up.
  
   You should always be able to distinguish between devices, even if 
   they are assigned the same phone number. In fact, in a 
 call centre 
   you'd be using a call queue. It would be rather nonsensical for a 
   call queue management to have to distinguish between multiple 
   identical agents.
  
   Therefore, setting up multiple devices with the same account 
   credentials is not a good idea, especially not in a call centre. 
   Each device and each agent should have their own unique account 
   credentials and assigning extensions to them should 
 always be done 
   through the dialplan and only the dialplan.
  
   Asterisk has been designed this way. It is a good design.
   It should NOT be changed nor undermined.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] New Asterisk bounty: SIP simultaneous

2004-07-11 Thread Paul Mahler
The whole point of a SIP registration is to identify a UNIQUE device. You
CAN'T HAVE multiple devices registered as the same SIP device. That's WHY
the last device that registers gets the traffic. 

This doesn't have ANYTHING TO DO WITH ASTERISK. This is a SIP issue, not an
Asterisk issue. You should just be happy that Asterisk will do what you
want, even if SIP won't.  

If you really, really want to do this, up the bounty to about $50,000 and
get the SIP specification changed.

 Sorry, but this is irrelavant... SIP allows multiple

 again, irrelavant - the whole beauty of the way SIP works is 
 that I can add to the list of phones that get called by 
 simply registering more phones with the same details. I don't 
 need my users to mess with or make a support call to add to 
 the dial plan. They can add and remove themselves.
 
 I'd also suggest adding something like
 
 registrationlimit=1 
 
 for those that do not want to support multiple client 
 registrations, I'd also like to see the implementation of the 
 q parameter...
 
 I'm all for this modification to SIP, although I'd probably 
 want to see DTMF callerid implemented first :D

Second, * does support features that support QoS, for example the IAX

RE: [Asterisk-Users] QoS in asterisk

2004-07-11 Thread Paul Mahler
Well, the question may not have been about QoS, but my answer certainly was.
QoS is defined as The performance specification of a communications channel
or system. (188) Note: QOS may be quantitatively indicated by channel or
system performance parameters, such as signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), bit
error ratio (BER), message throughput rate, and call blocking probability.

Quality of Service (QoS) is a general term for an abstraction covering
aspects of the non-functional behavior of a system, for example delay. 

I think what we have here is what we are going to see a lot of--cultures in
collision. The PSTN folks had QoS issues long before it became an IP issue. 

I think what you are alluding to is routing specific IP QoS. IP supports QoS
in the IP header, those pesky tos bits you were talking about. Asynchronous
transfer mode (ATM) natively provides QoS. The IEEE 802.1p standard covers
QoS in all IEEE 802-type networks.

Even in networking, QoS is first and formost an abstraction before it
becomes a specification. QoS is the ability of a network element (e.g. an
application, a host or a router) to provide some level of assurance for
consistent network data delivery.

QoS is most certainly an issue when making the decision to move off the
PSTN. Is the performance of your VoIP system going to be comparable to the
performance of your PSTN system? Sounds like a reasonble question to me.

 Both the question and the answer are not talking about QoS.
 
 From the Q, qos does not provide a measure of quality, it provides a 
 system to
 allow you to request your data be handled according to priorities.
 
 From the A, qos is confused with the pstn.. qos is a feature of IP, 
 that has
 nothing to do with the pstn. jitterbuffer isnt qos either, 
 altho its important you get it right to provide good quality calls.
 
 qos is the tos options you can specify in the conf files but 
 you need to combine that with routers from server to client 
 that will honor the tos you set. 
 
 deciding to switch from voip to pstn wouldnt be covered by 
 qos, you would need to find other ways.. playing with options 
 like 'qualify' to timeout poorly connected devices quickly is 
 more like what you are trying to achieve.

   Does asterisk provide quality of service(QoS)? If it 
 does, how do I 
   use it? The reason why I ask is that I need to switch to use POTS 
   should the internet connection becomes poor?
   
   Thanks,
   Jim

RE: [Asterisk-Users] New Asterisk bounty: SIP simultaneous

2004-07-11 Thread Paul Mahler
Well, this is certainly getting exciting. 

Andy, I took your advice and re-read the RFP. Andy--I don't think you are a
good candidate for a beginner's book on *, but if you send my your address,
I'll send you a copy on me. :-)

So, gentlemen, help me out here. The spec says:

The Address of record is the SIP address that the registry knows the
registrand. .  .

A  Sip message is either a request from a client to a server or a response
from a server to a client. 

A client uses the REGISTER method to register the address listed in the TO
header field with a SIP Server.

And as Nick so cogently pointed out

Once a client has established bindings at a registrar, it MAY send
subsequent registrations containing new bindings or modifications to
existing bindings as necessary.  The 2xx response to the REGISTER request
will contain, in a Contact header field, a complete list of bindings that
have been registered for this address-of-record at this registrar.

I don't see how two different clients can register with a server as the same
address of record. Doesn't the second registration from a new client change
the address of record for the registered client? 

If the second client is trying the same registration as the first client,
and it's the responsibility of the client to provide the complete list of
bindings, how does the second client know the list of bindings for the first
client that bound the registration? 

So isn't this the problem * has? The first client registers as the address
of record, then the second client comes in with the same registration and
becomes the address of record? 

Andy, I'm in your hands.

Paul

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Three (quick?) questions...

2004-07-10 Thread Paul Mahler
Hi,

T1 is the carrier. T1 provides 24 D channels of 64Kbps each. 

Telephone companies provide ISDN (integrated services data network) on top
of T-carrier. Two common flavors are BRI (basic rate interface) and PRI
(Primary rate interface.) BRI provides two 64 kps channels, PRI provides 23
usable channels, the 24th is used for signalling. 

So--you can get phone calls over a T1 or over a T1 that is provisioned as a
PRI. You can get 24 calls on a T1 and 23 on a PRI. 

A T1 has 24 channels. You can split, that is partialize, the channels
between data and voice. You can do this with hardware outside the * server.
Higher end Cisco routers, for example, support this. 

You can also use * and linux to partialize the T1. You better plan on
spending a lot of time on making it work if you do it this way. You have to
install the Linux packages to split the line. NON trival. Works great,
though. Much less expensive, too.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] New Asterisk bounty: SIP simultaneous registry

2004-07-10 Thread Paul Mahler
I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. 

You have an administrative assistant and several other staff. You want the
administrator to be able to take calls directed to the staff extensions? 

If I have the requirement right, you could accomplish this by ringing the
staff extension and the admin extension at the same time. The Dial command
allows you to ring multiple extensions simultaneously. 

If you want to be able to more easily recognize what extension the traffic
if for, you can add additional extensions to the 7960. For example, if you
have two staff the admin monitors, add two additional extensions to the
7960. The admin can tell who is being called by the extension that rings.

[Asterisk-Users] Stable branch usable? Development branch better?

Is the stable branch 
usable? Is there ever going to be a 1.0 release? 

Should I be using 
the "stable" branch or the development branch? The development branch seems to 
have more fixes than the stable branch. It looks like fixes going into the 
release branch aren't going into the stable branch.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] IAX2 Trunking help!

2004-06-22 Thread Paul Mahler
The register statement informs a remote * server of the location of the
local * server. If the local server is always at the same IP address, there
is no need to register with the remote server. IAX will work just fine with
no register statements at either side. 

Here is a typical iax.conf configuration to allow incoming connections from
a remote * server. This is from a working installation. 

; Inter-Asterisk eXchange driver definition (asterisk2)

 [general]
 port=4569
 accountcode=lss0101
 bandwidth=low
 allow=g723
 allow=g729

 tos=lowdelay

 [asterisk]
 type=friend
 auth=md5
 secret=1945
 context=local
 host=dynamic
 defaultip=10.1.1.180
 qualify=yes

This statement at the remote * server would dial the local server with the
configuration shown above. Incoming calls would be directed to the local
context in extensions.conf. 

exten = _1XXX,1,Dial(IAX2/asterisk:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED])

and make an outgoing call I get a SIP 407 error. 

Can some kind soul explain to me what I am doing wrong? 

Here's what I found in the wiki:

  If a proxy does not accept the credentials sent with a request, it SHOULD
return a 407 (Proxy Authentication Required). The response MUST include a
Proxy-Authenticate header field containing a (possibly new) challenge
applicable to the proxy for the requested resource.

Here's what I have in sip.conf
  [514]
  type=friend   ; This device takes and makes calls
  username=514
  secret=password
  context=inside
  callerid=Paul Mahler 4154424024
  qualify=1000
  host=dynamic  ; This host is not on the same IP addr every time
  canreinvite=no
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]   ; Activate the message waiting light for
waiting messages
  ;defaultip=192.168.0.102

Here's the sip debug showing the error:

  to 209.234.100.68:5060
  Retransmitting #5 (no NAT):
  SIP/2.0 407 Proxy Authentication Required

The password at the phone is the same as the password in sip.conf.

If you use the mepis debian release, it's a piece of cake to install *. It
takes about 15 minutes to install Mepis and *.

   Does anyone know the best approach to take for handling

 Carrier Access or Adtran would work.  The chassis would do 
 much of the hard work of converting the analog sound to data.
   Any recommendations on hardware for the chassis?

  Why does voicemail prompt me for an extension instead of

  my password?
 
 Because there is no Voicemailbox 99 in that context in your 
 configuration. 
 
 
  [voice-mail]
  exten = 99,1,VoicemailMain([EMAIL PROTECTED])
  exten = 99,2,Hangup
 
 In your example, $EXTEN will always be 99, because that is 
 the extension.
 
 If you would like to have the 99 as a prefix for the 
 following voicemailbox number you could do something like:
 
 exten = _99.,1,VoicemailMain(${EXTEN:[EMAIL PROTECTED])
 exten = _99.,2,Hangup
 
 And then 99123 would go directly to Mailbox 123 (if it exists).

 Andreas

[Asterisk-Users] How to Echo extension number to caller?

2004-05-14 Thread Paul Mahler
I need to dial an extension that tells me what extension I'm dialing from. 

I'm running a bunch of analog phones off a channel bank to * over a T1. I
have the following in extensions.conf. 

exten = 98,1,SayDigits(${EXTEN})

This says the digits the caller enters on the keypad, not the extension they
are calling from.

Thanks Guys

Paul

Ive found this in audio apps on other boxes when the power supply is really

Just one more maybe for you to check. Have you blown the dust out of the

with audio equipment at a broadcast station. (Streaming server on a Linux

a beefier power supply might help here. It cured my case.

I've fought with this problem on and off.

Number 1 thing to check is /proc/interrupts to ensure that your card 
isn't sharing an interrupt with something else.

Number 2 is a bit of an unknown variable - my guess is either 
electrical noise, or perhaps vibrations affecting your card inside your 
box.  I find that carefully remounting my tdm400p/x100p so that nothing 
at all is touching it (no wires, no plastic, nothing - except at the 
mount point) will make the problem go away the majority of the time.
If it doesn't go away, try re-mounting again.

It's a little scary, especially when you're working with a 
small-form-factor machine.

 Um, I'm not so sure that you're going to be able to run WiFi at a 
 hospital.  The life safety/support equipment is most likely not 
 certified to be resistant to 2.4Ghz interference.  It's been a while 
 since I looked up ISM allocations but, I can tell you that I've seen 
 many good ideas shot down because of the potential to interfere
with 
 the medical equipment.

Next, I have an x-lite phone set up as
Display name: 40
Username: 40
Authorization user: 40
Domain/Realm: 69.240.152.95
SIP Proxy: 69.240.152.95


I get a message from SIP debug that says 40 from the x-lite is failing to
register. This should be the case since I don't have any sip entry for 40.

Here's the weird part. If I dial 77 from the x-lite phone I get sent to
voice mail. If I dial 88 from the x-lite phone I get the demo-congrats
message. Why am I getting anything? Why aren't these calls failing?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] asterisk no card

2004-04-22 Thread Paul Mahler
You need a timing source for conferencing or music on hold. Voice mail works
fine without a timer. If there is no Zaptel card installed, you will have to
find timing from a USB driver, or recompile the real time clock.

[Asterisk-Users] Is anyone successfully using Queues and ACD?

2004-04-21 Thread Paul Mahler
I would like to use queues for auotomated call distribution for a technical
support center. Everything I found in the mail archives seemed pretty old.
The wikki is pretty sparse. Is anyone successfully using queues for ACD? If
so, do you have any examples of /etc/asterisk/*.conf? 

Thanks!

Paul

[Asterisk-Users] HELP! - weird 7960 problem - phone goes nuts - display flashes - phone reboots

2004-04-06 Thread Paul Mahler



I have a strange 
problem rolling through my 7960 phones. 

One or more of the 
phones goes crazy when the first digit is dialed. The display flashes 
repeatedly, the phone does a bunch of stuff, sometimes it even reboots. 


It's not the powered 
switch, the same thing happens with a different unpowered switch. 


It's not the phone, 
the problem moves from phone to phone. If it's happening to a phone and I 
restart everything, when everything is back up a different phone will have the 
problem.

has anyone seen 
this? 

Thanks!

Paul

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] VON Update - Pingtel Creates new SIP Open Source
Group

The VON show has started off with a number of interesting announcements.
First among these is a big announcement from Pingtel that they have created
a not-for-profit corporation called SIPFoundry.  This new company includes
Pingtel (which has recently open sourced their SIPExchange PBX), Vovida and
somebody else.

Martin indicated in his presentation that the key goal of the new group is
to leverage the open source SIP implementations to prevent legacy vendors
(read Nortel, Avaya, Siemens, etc.) from using the Embrace and Extend
model to co-opt and proprietize SIP.  Pingtel (which makes SIP hardware)
wants to keep the SIP market open and interoperable. 

They have a web site (which I can't seem to reach from the wireless network
here at the show) for the new company/project:

http://www.sipfoundry.org

I spoke with Martin _ who gave the Pingtel presentation and is an
officer of both Pingtel and the new SipForge organization.  He indicated he
would like to speak with Mark regarding the possibility of integrating the
Asterisk community with the SIP Forge community.  He indicated that Asterisk
was not initially brought into the discussion only due to limited
time/resources (and to a lesser degree because Asterisk is not SIP-centric).

Can somebody out there take a look at the SIP Forge site and let us all know
what the crux of the organization is set to be?  They are having an open
roll-out meeting tomorrow evening which should spell out some of the goals
of the organization and the partners.

Above all Martin wanted me to understand that he did not view the new open
source organization as a competitor to Asterisk.  What do you think?

More on-the-scene reports to come.

Thanks,

Steve

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 SIP Images

2004-03-28 Thread Paul Mahler
I have recieved far more that my money's worth in technical calls to Cisco
about my 7960 telephones. They respond immediately. They keep working until
the job is done. The pull in whatever resources are neccessary. They have
never failed to find and fix the problem. 
 
If you want professional, real technical support you should be willing to
pay for it, or in this case part of it.

What you and so may others on this lise seem to forget is that Cisco is a
company offering bsuiness products for businesses.  Businesses typically pay
by check and wire transfer, especially for items such as this.
 
If you want home-user pay-by-credit-card service, buy products from Belkin's
home line and similar.
 
Oh...what's that?  None of these cheesy Stocked-at-Costco hardware companies
have any VoIP phones worth a crap?  Then deal with the fact that you are
buying from a company who doesn't target home users, and deal with it.  It
costs Cisco more money than they make on the contract to offer SmartNet on a
single device like this.  You're lucky they don't have a minimum device
limit/contract cost of something like 5 devices or $300/year.  I'm guessing
this type of policy would hardly effect more than several hundred of their
customers, most of them with 7960's and similar.

[massive amounts trimmed]

No, you can't use a credit card.  You have to send the #$!@@$#'s a 
check.  It's really stupid, but it's the Cisco way.
