That is if you have a local connection into an SMS network. I have heard this is available on some European ISDN systems. In the US, good luck. Outside of getting a GSM phone and connecting it to your system via a serial port and some sort of GSM SMS application. Your best bet is an IM system. I am looking into this for myself, as IM access to things like Nagios and Asterisk. I have an AIM client on my phone, so my plan is: Jabber gateway to AIM A Perl daemon to watch for incoming IMs and monitoring events to generate outgoing IMs. The daemon can then act on IMs coming from my phone and do things like drop in a .call file. You will need two AIM accounts, one for your phone/user access and one for the daemon. There are SMS sending gateways out there, but they are sending only, no way to receive.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone having trouble with VoicePulse Connect?
quote who=beonice Robert, thank you very much for that informative write-up. Of course, I now have more questions. The first is really basic. I thought extension meant something the caller dials _after_ reaching asterisk. How come incoming DIDs have to be handled as if they are extensions? Actually the answer is better shown when looking at DID analog trunks. Analog trunks are just POTS lines. With inbound DID analog trunks, the side that provides the voltage and dialtone are reversed. The CO looks like a phone and your PBX looks like the CO. So when a call comes in, the CO picks up the phone to your PBX and dials the DID number. In this case, there is no callerID available. [DID] exten = _X.,1,Goto(PublicExtensions,8001,1) But won't this match every single number possible? Including the extensions I set up? So, for example, if I had an extension '1234', it would also be sent to PublicExtensions extension 8001 with priority 1, as would someone calling extension 8001, as well as someone calling in from any DID. I'm totally confused about the way this would behave. This is why you use a seperate context ([DID]) for DID's. DID trunks go into the DID context. Your station channels go into some other internal context, that contains your real extension numbers. The DID context will match DID's to extensions that exist in other contexts. In my example, I have PublicExtensions which is a list of extensions that are available via my main phone number and it gets included in my PrivateExtensions context which is where my internal channels drop into. Just remember that contexts seperate out extensions. Extension 8001 in context internal has nothing to do with extension 8001 in context inbound. You can definately point on towards the other, but there is no intrinsic relationship between the two. -- END OF LINE -MCP ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone having trouble with VoicePulse Connect?
quote who=beonice If I understood the little documentation I found on 's', it's supposed to be a catchall for ALL incoming calls. That's why I assumed it would catch a DID as well. If that's not the case, it really should be updated in some meta-doc somewhere. :) s is the start extension if there is not one already provided. When DID comes in, the channel is kindof predialed. This is with most digital calls, SIP, IAX, H323, ISDN/PRI... So what happens if the DID is _not_ a US DID? I've seen users here from Europe and Asia as well ... does each country need its own mapping to catch the appropriate incoming DID? DID's are specific to your system. If you have 4 digit extensions and I was setup as a user, then I would need to send you the 4 digit extension I am trying to get to. When you purchase DID from a provider, be it VoicePulse over IAX2 or your local carrier via a PRI, they will dictate what the DID looks like. Some will be the last 4 digits, others will be all 10. (assuming US). They do this, because it would be to difficult to maintain your extension mapping on their side. You purchase a DID. When a call comes in it says, This is the number they were calling, you do your own matching to whatever extension you want. Now, what about the folks who are trying to call other countries, and potentially be called by other DIDs themselves? I'm assuming this sort of thing is very likely. Usually you do not use wildcards for DIDs. This is because people normally purchase more than one. So, you need to distinguish between phone numbers. I currently have two numbers from VoicePulse, so my extensions.conf has this: (numbers are changed to avoid crank calls) [DID] exten = _4157611829,1,Goto(PublicExtensions,8001,1) exten = _4157611763,1,Goto(PublicExtensions,8003,1) So, all inbound calls from VoicePulse goto this context. I jump from here to the extension I want the external phone number mapped to. If you get multiple numbers (say regional numbers) and you want all of them to goto the same place, you can wildcard like this: (gets past the international numbering differences) [DID] exten = _X.,1,Goto(PublicExtensions,8001,1) -- END OF LINE -MCP ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Why echo occurs
quote who=Steve Underwood Wrong. Look at any cellular phone or IP phone. They all have echo cancellers. If you switch these cancellers off the results are generally bad. What they need to remove is the acoustic spill from the earpiece to the mike. This can be a surprisingly strong signal. While acoustic spill can be an issue, I do not believe it is the primary source of 90% of the echo experienced. I do not know of any IP phone that contains an echo canceler other than speaker phones. Find a situation where you think the echo is acoustic spill, then try it with a hands free head set. If you notice, the echo is a repeat once type of echo. Not the fading echo of a loop, that acoustic spill would cause. All the echo that I have been talking about, you hear yourself once, just delayed. -- END OF LINE -MCP ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Why echo occurs
quote who=Rich Adamson The sidetone is 'always' generated within analog and digital phones. It never comes from any source outside the phone. In analog phones, it derived from the hybrid within the phone. On digital phones, its basically firmware. I never said that sidetone was generated outside the phone. The hybrid is the conversion from the dual channel (4 wire, transmit/receive) to the single channel (2 wire, the POTS line). The audio injection point that I was talking about in my previous email, is the location of the hybrids. The hybrid is supposed to automaticaly cancel echo, but it takes precise impedance matching to pull it off. In an analog phone, the sidetone is a side-effect of the hybrid. In a digital phone, the sidetone is on purpose. The conversion from four-wire (analog or digital) to two-wire requires the use of a hybrid (physical component in analog phones, mostly firmware in digital phones). The hybrid is an analog device. When I am talking digital, I am talking about technology like ISDN. In a single bearer channel, I get 56Kbps out and 56Kbps in. I do not see an echo of the output on the input. (This would cause massive issues when used as a data call.) The echo comes when and if I hit a conversion to analog then hit a hybrid. If the conversation is happening purely digital end to end, then you will not get echo. Just like IP to IP. The 'inefficiencies' of that hybrid is the source of echo, regardless of where they happen to be in the end-to-end communications path. Since it is impossible to know what each telephone company or long distance carrier has engineered, its not possible to guess at where hybrids might exist in that path. It is fair to say the number of hybrids is very small now compared to twenty years ago, but they do exist at least at both ends of a communications path. This is true, as long as the path has an analog 2-wire leg. Though where the ends are that the hybrid is located could be lopsided. Say I have a PRI into the PSTN. I call a friend who has POTS service. Now days, the path will be digital from my PRI all the way to my friend's central office. At that point it gets split off the trunk, converted to analog, passed through a hybrid, and placed on the wire pair to my friend's house. Then, through the hybrid in his phone. So, the echo I hear is from the hybrid in the central office and the echo my friend hears is from the hybrid in his phone, which is so close to him, that it becomes sidetone. The previous paragraph is based on where I live (Silicon Valley), the location of the central office hybrid maybe different, depending on your local infrastructure. -- END OF LINE -MCP ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Why echo occurs
quote who=Steve Underwood Maybe http://www.grandstream.com.cn/BT100_Spec_cn.pdf is a bit confusing if you can't read Chinese, but I think G.168 should be easy to identify :-) ok, I did miss that. Then again, the grandstream does have a speaker phone. I guess the problem is that I don't know of a SIP hardphone that doesn't have a speaker phone. Acoustic spill gives basically the same effects as hybrid echo, except acoustic spill tends to be more variable over time. Hybrid echo also bounces back and forth when both ends are causing echo, but the first echo is so much stronger than the subsequent ones that you tend not to notice them. I have worked on echo cancellation, and I know the acoustic spill issue is serious. In early GSM phones it was often easy to fool the canceler, and GSM to GSM calls would suffer really awful echo. They seem to have improved the cancelers a lot in the last few years, and its rare to get this problem today. This is a broad issue. Echo cancelers have generally improved a lot. The latest version of G.168 is a very different document from the early versions, and incorporates tests for a lot of the problem issues found in earlier canceler designs. I would expect it to be a problem in the GSM (cell) phones. They are too small to get proper acoustic separation. I am talking about the phones that are physically designed the same as analog phones. Why do we not hear this echo in the analog device? But, we do when it is digital. This type of echo would always be far end, as the near end would always be seen as sidetone. How do you control acoustic spill within a phone through the use of directional microphones? Adjusting gains mitigates the issue a bit, but is hardly a solution. These are just bodges, not solutions. You can say the same about echo cancelers. They patch the symptom, not the cause. -- END OF LINE -MCP ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Why echo occurs
quote who=Rich Adamson Your original posting said the sidetone was coming from the distant phone and did not even come close to implying that sidetone is something always engineered into the local phone, regardless of whether its analog or digital. Sidetone is always local phone generated by design. I went back and read my original post. I did not say that the sidetone was coming from the far end, but I was completely unclear in what I was saying. We have echo as A hears his own voice, but the timing makes it perceived as sidetone. Should have been more like: (using terms in the original email) A hears his own voice coming from his mic's injection point, which is close enough to his speaker to make the delay short enough, so as it is perceived as sidetone. I wonder if sidetone was in the original spec when creating the hybrid, or was it added as a feature when they could not get rid of it. Did they get a 100% working hybrid, then say hey, I can't hear myself!? A 100% perfect hybrid would never generate any feedback or echo. But, to date no one has been successful at designing such a beast. So a better way to say that is imperfections in the hybrid can cause echo as opposed to the hybrid is supposed to automatically cancel echo. There is no such thing as an echo canceller in a hybrid. True. I used the wrong wording. Not true at all. Sidetone _is_ designed into the hybrid in analog phones on purpose and has been for for at least 30 years. My guess on that is above. Not true. Better take a look at the Silicon Labs chip sets that are used in the digium TDM card (as one example). The hybrid is 100% digital. I probably shouldn't have made a blanket statement. There really isn't anything we can't simulate in digital, anymore. And I doubt that sidetone is purposely put into the TDM cards. It just comes down to that we can't get rid of it.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Why echo occurs
quote who=Eric Bishop Just out of interest, When echo occurs (the type where I hear myself echoing as I talk) what is bouncing against. Is it the other caller's equipment, the central office or something in between? When you are talking via 4 wire or VoIP phones there is a seperate outbound audio channel and inbound audio channel, niether the twain shall meet no echo Except for POTS lines (2 wire)... where you have one audio channel going in both directions. So you have these: (fixed font spacing needed) A Straight POTS B -- speaker-speaker || mic mic A talks into mic and the audio is injected into the single audio channel. A almost immediatly hears his voice in his own speaker, as the distance between the mic and the speaker is short. B hears A's speach a bit later traveling through the long line. We have echo as A hears his own voice, but the timing makes it perceived as sidetone. A ISDN/VoIP to POTS B -- speaker--===O---speaker || mic mic A talk into mic and the audio is sent as a seperate channel down the line. At some point this channel is injected into the single channel of the POTS line for B. The return channel to A picks up everything on the single channel POTS line (wanting to get B's audio, but also getting A's injected mic channel.) The distance between A's mic, the injection point and A's speaker combines to make the delay. This delay causes the echo to be heard as an echo and not a sidetone. * some (not all) VoIP/ISDN phones will simulate sidetone by sampling the mic and sticking it directly in the speaker. This is done because us humans are used to the POTS technology and think the line is dead if we do not hear it. The same goes for comfort noise generation. If the line is active we expect analog white noise on it. -- END OF LINE -MCP ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] OT: New $89 VOIP phone
That should work on a 100% full duplex switched network. With good enough quality cable, the atinuation should be ok. (no need for amplifiers) The 300 foot limit was more about issues with late collisions. In environments that you have collisions (half duplex), first bit transmitted must reach the last machine in the broadcast domain, before the last bit is tranmitted by the sending station. If this is not met, the transmitting station would not be able to detect a collision, between the time the last bit is transmited and the last station starts receiving. The only way to extend the length, in this senerio, is to either implement store and forward switches/bridges that can retransmit the packet on behalf of the sending station,placed every 300ft, or increase the minimum packet size on the network. quote who=Marcelo Pacheco On cable length, I heard there's people sucessfully using 900ft Ethernet cables, haven't seen one yet... -- END OF LINE -MCP ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Using Exchange to send voicemail message
IMAP and POP3 are used for the MUA to get access to a mailbox. They are not used for delivering messages to a mailbox, but for reading message out of a mailbox. What you are looking for, is an SMTP gateway. Sendmail is an SMTP MTA that can be configured to send the email (via SMTP/ESMTP) to the Exchange server. All you really need to do is have the DNS MX records for foo.com pointing to your Exchange server. Then, in voicemail.conf you would have the email address set to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course, change foo.com to whatever your domain, for the Exchange server, is. And, make sure you have the SMTP connector configured for Exchange. quote who=Paul Tyreman Hi, I run a local exchange server and would like asterisk to send voicemail notification messages via exchange. I have had a look at the voicemail.conf file, but I can't see how I would go about configuring it to use an account set up on exchange ?

Perhaps a config option for setting number of consecutive ping requests are un-responsive. Also, subsequent requests might be sooner than otherwise queued. ie, successfully answered probes are re-sent every 60 seconds, while after an un-successful probe, we re-send the next probe in 10 seconds Just my 0.02c worth That would be more robust/quicker to recover. You do have to remember that the RTP session (when you make a call) does not try to recover. So, usually when the SIP poke fails, the RTP would be of bad quality. quote who=Bisker, Scott (7805) On a somewhat related note. I was experiencing some random SIP UN/REACHABLE messages during random points during the day. This would also come hand-in-hand with poor SIP call quality (jitters, stutters, etc). Yesterday I was tryint to debug a choppy SIP phone and it just so happened that I was in my lab , and noticed that we were using Ghostcast server over multicast to send images to some new PCs. On a whim, I cancelled the ghostcast session and the problem immediatly vanished. Must be a misconfig on the switch (Cisco Cat 4500 with all copper 10/100/1000 ports ) cause the switch load was minimal, but somehow the multicast traffic was screwing with the SIP transmission over the wire. Just something for other people to look for. You would need to configure the switch for IGMP snooping and the ghost clients need to send multicast group membership requests, that the switch will be able to snoop. Otherwise multicast traffic is broadcast to every active port. So, it is not the switch that is being overrun, it is your SIP endpoints, that are flooded with the ghost traffic. -- END OF LINE -MCP ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

When you have qualify=yes or some number, then asterisk will poke at the peer, to measure latency.

When the peer starts replying within the latency threshold, you will get the REACHABLE message, and you will be able to send/receive calls to/from that channel. I get it alot from FWD.

This process is taking a little upwards of 10 minutes to complete on each of my dual 3.2Ghz HP DL380 with SuSE Linux Enterprise 8 boxes. Although asterisk creates child processes, it appears that it is only using a single processor to parse extensions.conf. I've turned off Hyper Threading on the servers which has increased the extensions.conf parsing speed, but not by more than a couple minutes. Is this a bug, or simply the way Asterisk works during startup? If it is the way Asterisk works during startup, would it be safe to say that once started - that the child processes would function?

[100] callerid= test name 1234 type=friend username=100 secret=secret host=dynamic fromuser=100 mailbox=100 context=allaccess canreinvite=yes dtmfmode=rfc2833 nat=yes The test name part gets sent but, like I said, if extension 100 calls extension 228, the phone at 228 sees the caller-ID as test name 228. This happens with Asterisk 0.5 and Asterisk 0.7.2 both. That is real interesting. It seems to work just fine for me. Though, I am running straigh out of CVS, but older than 0.7.2 release. My SIP phones (Grandstream) see CallerID just fine and my co-worker's SIP phones (Cisco 7960) work also. Can you send your extensions.conf?

This link seems to indicate it uses SIP: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg20561.html although other messages on the mailing list indicate that Voiceglo is using Asterisk in its internal architecture. The MTAs they sell use SIP. Their softphone uses IAX1. 2. Voiceglo's support keeps telling us we need to purchase an MTA (Multimedia Terminal Adapter), essentially an analog to digital box, described here: http://www.voiceglo.com/pages/Products_equipment.html Since we're using SIP phones and Asterisk, we have no need for this, right? They support connecting via equipment/software purchased through them. You are on your own, when connecting your own Asterisk implementation to their network. 3. Any words of warning or praise from clients of Voiceglo? They (atleast under SIP) use DTMF inband detection for DTMF after initial call setup. They also use g729. This means that while someone is talking you will hear a DTMF every once in a while. Also, when trying to get through DTMF menus is difficult.

I'll additionally comment that the directories I was working with were not normally that full, but was a side effect of a process dumping lots of little files into a directory when something went wrong. On a slight tangent, NT4 had a practical limit of about 300 directory entries before attempting to process the directory became unbearably slow. -Tilghman A couple of things, searching a directory for a specific name tends to be a linear search through the directory (unless the filesystem uses binary trees, like ReiserFS...), ls is a bad example of a command, it is more of a worse case example. ls will read the entire directory, sort it, then do a stat() on every file listed.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] DID trunks -- equipment requirement
quote who=Josh Rollyson I'd look into ISDN, both PRI and BRI. If the costs are not too prohibitive, this would be the most flexable option. ISDN uses out of band signaling and has a number of features which complement a DID enviroment, such as DNIS (dialed number information service), where the number dialed is passed along with an incoming call. If your enviroment never uses all its outside lines at the same time, this can be cost effective, because you can have direct dial numbers for all the phones without a one to one correspondance of outside lines to extensions. PRI is usually too expensive, but sometimes BRI is affordable, however you should check on pricing for both to see if they may be cost effective. I wish SBC would offer DID via BRI.

The only way around this is to use the # transfer capability of *. (Using the t option in the Dial application.) Some SIP phones (like the Cisco 7960) can do both blind and supervised transfers.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Multi phone presentation
quote who=costas Does anyone have sample * configuration on how I can get an incoming call to ring all SIP phones (small setup, say 4 phones) at the same time. 1) I would like to pickup up any phone and the ringing should stop (of course) exten = s,1,Dial(SIP/set1SIP/set2SIP/set3SIP/set4,t) 2) Put on hold and pick up on a different phone set. Since each set is a completely seperate extension (Not sharing the same line), you must park the call, then pick up the parked call from the other extension. Or you can blind transfer the call to the other extension, but that my confuse callers, as they will get ringing again as the transfer rings the other extension. Do I need special phone features to achieve this? E.g. would the Grandstream 100 do it? To use the grandstream, you need the # for transfer feature turned on in the dial statement. Then you can use the # key to transfer the call to park and be able to hear the number of the parking slot the call is assigned to. -- END OF LINE ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] High Availability and Mass Deployment for Asterisk
quote who=WipeOut You are right in what you are saying.. I was thinking back to the original message that started this thread that talked about load balancing VoIP clients accross multiple servers.. Thats where my comments came from.. :) My goof, for not reading the start of the thread. That is even tougher still. Also, using a shared resource (VoIP access) to access a none shared resource (PSTN access), will be very hard. You would almost need to put the PSTN access on a third node, that is not clustered. Then when a call is made (any call, to PSTN or otherwise) would be locked to a node. Think of the full duration of a call as a transaction. This would have to be buried deap in Asterisk and the kernel. The kernel to do the network side of load balancing. And, Asterisk to keep state. Also, Asterisk would need to know which node is primary for which session. Asterisk will need to not do anything with a VoIP session that it is not the primary node for, unless it is taking over that session on behalf of a non-operational node. For this complexity, you are now really asking for the phones to fail. I think the best and most stable way is to partition your dialplan and assign X VoIP clients per Asterisk server. -- END OF LINE ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

The Ethernet specificiation has a limit to the number of hubs/switches that can be inline. (or at least it used to). The only way I can see to connect all phones to one socket would be to daisy chain them. This would not be a good solution since: - all phones would use the same 10mbps segment, chances for collisions would be high - rules of Ethernet would be violated so even if it did work it may stop at any point with some other normally minor change. I defer to your knowledge in this area, but I would be interested to know what the limit is in terms of the number of devices that can be put inline. On the subject of collisions it seems to me that individual phone bandwidth use is relatively limited when compared to the 10Mbit/s available, so would the problem really be that substantial? Personally I currently have: Hub - Phone - Phone - Laptop No visible problems here, so certainly 3 phones in a line would seem to work. I suppose it all comes down to how many phones you put in a line. Michael Too many switches/hubs will cause late collisions. Late collisions are ethernet collisions that happen after the transmitting station has finished transmitting. If it is a store and forward switch, then the switch can retransmit on collision, otherwise the packet is completely lost. This is the same reason why an ethernet cable cannot be over 300 feet. The first bit of the ethernet frame must get to the farthest node in an ethernet segment before the last bit is transmitted by the originating station. This length is based on speed one bit takes to span the distance and the minimum ethernet frame size (64 bytes). Currently the limit is 5 non-store and forward switches/hubs. -- END OF LINE ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Supervised transfers
quote who=Devon Henderson I've seen a lot of traffic on the list recently about which phones can do supervised transfers and which cannot, and I have to admit that I'm a bit puzzled. Our existing PBX, which is software based, handles the transfer functions for our call center -- the agents never touch their phone, and instead use software. We can plug any old phone into it, and it'll work just the same. For analog sets, asterisk does 100% of the work. Hence, any old phone will work. The issues that have been presented are all issues with VoIP phones. SIP in particular.
