Re: [Asterisk-Users] Would DECT cordless phones work with Asterisk and VOIP?

DECT stands for Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telephone
and supposedly has much greater range than other cordless telephony.
Additionally, you can purchase repeaters that will greatly range.

Since reading about poor audio quality and echo issues caused by 
repeated conversions as the signal traverses the path from the (possibly 
POTS analogue) station, over tcp/ip and to destination,

would DECT (another digital form) agravate this?

In my house, a Uniden 5.8 and Panasonic 2.4 cordless system would only 
work over about 35 feet indoors - not enough for a large house.


Does anyone have any hands-on experience with DECT?


I am so keen on getting the Kirk telecomms 600 system to hook to asterisk, 
anyone know where to get one from that will ship to New Zealand?

As far as I was aware a license was only required in contries that had software 
patents, I know that there arnt here so I am just seeking clarification if thats 
all there is to it.

Yes. The G.729.x source code (in C) can be downloaded for free from 
ITU-T as the spec actually are in C code. But, even if you use this raw, 
non-tuned version you will need to pay a license fee to ITU-T per channel.


The same for G.723.x

The version that Digium offer is optimized, meaning that they have done 
basic improvments on the c-code to be able to run more channels. This is 
however very basic stuff.

Is there no way to have asterisk determine its IP either via upnp or else 
resolve a dyndns hostname rather then having an entry in the config file?

with asterisk ?


If you find something, I would be interested in the outcome.

I want something for the house here, at the moment I just have 2 analog dect 
bases plugged into the same line, but you cant roam between them so if I want to 
walk from one end of the section to the other I have to park the call, change 
base station and pick it up again, and then also multi handset doesnt work 
between bases etc etc.


I would ideally like a dect network that plugs into the lan and then the 
handsets each register as an individual sip extension regardless of what base 
they are on at the time. I could really use a couple more bases around the place 
here to get good coverage.

2005-07-06 Thread Richard Malcolm-Smith

Is it just me that sees the post above as spam?

If we (tinw) even consider buying stuph from spammers, then we are
encouraging them in their sociopathic behavior, and as a consequence they
will do more spamming.

What is the consensus here?


It is a product announcement for a new product that is of intrest to users of 
asterisk, therefore not untargeted spam (like viagra etc mails) - I'm fine with it.

I am looking for a source for the clones in NZ - getting the real deal here isnt

I asked telecom why, and they said that the standard used doesnt support longer

able to send an NZ number with my calls however.


Its amazing what thinking the call is from overseas does for peoples desire to

When dialing out thru voipjet, I can put anything I like and it will come thru

landlines just come up as  on the caller ID as they put that for any 
international call.

[Asterisk-Users] NAT and sip issues

2005-05-16 Thread Richard Malcolm-Smith
I have an asterisk server behind NAT - no audio on the test external calls I 
have tried making so far.

Read http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+SIP+NAT+solutions - No solution 
evident from there, sounds like I have case 9. I would have thought that all I 
would have to do is port foward and have the external IP on the asterisk server, 
which I have done

I have fowared 5060UDP, 8000UDP, and  35000 to 37000 UDP to the internal IP 
(192.168.1.115)

I have put 35000 and 37000 into the rtp.conf as the start/end ports
extracts of sip.conf:
externip = 60.234.129.154
localnet = 192.168.1.115
localmask = 255.255.255.0
[88]
type=friend
secret=**
dtmfmode=rfc2833
nat=yes
host=dynamic
canreinvite=no
Trying with xlite at the other end
Registered ok, can dial both ways, just no audio at all.
In the log of xlite (cant see it at the moment as im not vnc'd in at the moment) 
it showed the xlite machines private IP address on some of the transactions that 
were logged.

The client has a dynamic IP address so cant really be specified anywhere in the 
xlite configuration, I am also not sure on all the different firewall types.

I was under the impression that there was no need to configure any portfowards 
at the sip softphone end.

I will hopefully be using xlite or similar from a location with a very locked 
down firewall environment. I want to check all works on a normal nat router 
before trying it behind the nasty nat/firewall at this location.

I thought that canreinvite=no was supposed to force the audio to go via asterisk?

[Asterisk-Users] Looking for some real basic doccos...

2005-04-19 Thread Richard Malcolm-Smith
Have asterisk installed, and working with my 2 quicknet phonejacks and 1 
linejack cards.

I cant seem to get my way thru getting the linejack to answer, and give some 
choices to the callers. I cant get the phonejacks to work when I change there 
entry to mode=dialtone in the phone.conf, thats all I get, a dialtone.

Initially what I want to do is have all the phones but mine connected to one 
phonejack card, and mine to the other phonejack card. I want incoming calls 
initially passed thru to both cards, untill I device a suitable menuing system, 
but outgoing calls I want to restrict on the card that the housemates phones are 
connected to (So they cant call long distance, mobiles, or any other calls that 
cost)

I have being looking at all the docco I can find, but its all really really 
complex looking, even the default configs make no sence to me.
