Hehe, sounds like a reason to standardize on ReiserFS

Re: [asterisk-users] MeetMe not prompting for PIN

2009-06-30 Thread Singer XJ Wang

No

That says:

Join Conference 123456
The PIN for the Conference is 123456

What you need to do is setup the conference ID, guest PIN, admin PIN in 
the meetme.conf


and then use

exten = ,1,MeetMe(123456,cMaAsxp,)

Hello, all.  I must be brain cramping badly on our Asterisk 1.6.1.1
installation.  Our MeetMe macros are working fine except they do not
prompt for a PIN.  So I made a very simple conference room:

exten = ,1,MeetMe(123456,cMaAsx,123456)

Shouldn't this prompt the user who dials  to enter a PIN before
entering the conference room whether or not a PIN is defined in
meetme.conf? I have tried it both ways and tried using the P flag.  The
user is never prompted.  What am I missing? Thanks - John

  I agree on the provisioning - the web interface is useless, and
 unless you

 The Polycom 320/330's are nice little phones for the price.

 There are several resources for configuring the phones from the XML
 config files.  If the config files are sane, the phones don't take
 that
 long to reboot.

 This is probably one of the better examples:

Re: [asterisk-users] VoIP over satellite internet

2009-05-11 Thread Singer XJ Wang
David Gibbons wrote:

 Is that too much?
 /snip

 Eric,

 I believe that you are mistaken. Routing via satellite adds about a quarter 
 second of latency PER TRIP from earth to orbit. This is simply due to the 
 distance a satellite is from the ground and the speed of light (interference 
 not withstanding).

 Traceroutes and pings to satellite providers can be misleading because they 
 cache some content on the birds in order to decrease latency. As I recall 
 they even intercept some pings to accomplish the same.

 A *real* round trip for a VOIP call and/or non-interfered TCP connection 
 would look like this:

 1. Your device up to the bird (~250ms)
 2. The bird back to the ground (~250ms)
 3. The ground station out to the internet (~Nms)
 4. The internet back to the ground station (~Nms)
 5. The ground station back to the bird (~250ms)
 6. The bird back to your device (~250ms)

 As you can see, even the one way udp stream will take approximately 500ms 
 beyond any latency introduced by things such as your wireless network and the 
 internet. VOIP over satellite, as Josh indicated, will be painful. You'll be 
 talking all over one another due to the delay assuming that the stream can 
 even be sustained with that much latency.

 Sipaddheader(180 Ringing) might do the trick.

 If you are compiling your own asterisk, you could change chan_sip.c to
 replace 183 Session Progress with 180 Ringing (line 3950 in my

 but that might break something else.

 Any development will be halted for asterisk

 It seems that Mr Johansson has was poisoned by a fish in Brussels during

Mike wrote:

You can reliably run asterisk on just about any x86 hardware.  You don't
mention what kind of stresses you are going to put on it, so your sizing
questions are impossible to answer.  How many extensions?  How many
simultaneous calls?  Will you be transcoding?  Routing to/from the PSTN?
What cards will you be putting in the box?  Some cards don't play nicely
together if forced to share interrupts, for example.



  
Sizing is important. Take your company's projected growth rate, double 
it, and work it out for 3-5 years. I recommend 5 years for the
sizing. As much as its fun to tinker, once it goes into production you 
want to have it as stable as possible.


Look at all the apps you want to use and figure out how much they are 
going to cost you in terms of resources. In the company
I work for, we put in Asterisk to replace our Nortel system which 
reached the limits. So we expected standard usage rates

and growth etc.

However, once we introduced meetme application our Asterisk usage 
spiked. We figured on average 2-3
meetme meetings a week (based on the usage of a third party conference 
bridge we had before), and now
its at 2-3 a day. We had it setup so that every person has their own 
conference bridge.


Other features are also taking up more resources. I'm currently 
modigying meetime and writing an AGI so that
once the meetme conference ends, it will take the recording and conver 
it to an mp3 and then emails it to

the leader.




I wasn't worried about sizing (let's imagine that this is more than enough
for now and less than I'll need later).  More about whether this was the
right BRAND more than the right hardware. Does HP make Asterisk friendly
hardware? I know Dells was problems a few years back.

As for CPU, the question is mostly one about more GHz or more cores? Dual
cores are cheaper by GHz. What`s best for Asterisk?

I am doing only SIP to SIP calls.  Some transcoding (half calls are G711 to
G729, the other half are G729 both ways).

[snip]

  

I'm shooting from the hip here, but I don't think dual CPU gives you


redundancy.  If one chip fries I am pretty sure the machine will crash.

This was sort of a question disguised as a statement.  Can a CPUs function
when it's neighbour is fried?

You can do that by using fans other than the tiny, whiney, 40mm fans
that vibrate at 6000 to 18,000 Hz. A couple of 80 or 120 mm muffin
fans at the back or front, pushing air in (hence the deep
dimensions), but the top and bottom would need recesses to allow
sufficient airflow when the positions above and below are filled.
  
How are you getting these 80 or 120mm fans in a 1U chassis? Remember you

with at the back and front of the switch. How are you going to mount a 
80mm or 120mm fan on there? Are you assuming that the units mounted

above (or below) your switch is a short 1U? You can't assume that...

Re: [asterisk-users] Quiet 24 port POE gig switch

We got a few of those in 1U chassis.. if you think those are quiet...

You can do that by using fans other than the tiny, whiney, 40mm fans
that vibrate at 6000 to 18,000 Hz. A couple of 80 or 120 mm muffin
fans at the back or front, pushing air in (hence the deep
dimensions), but the top and bottom would need recesses to allow
sufficient airflow when the positions above and below are filled.
  
How are you getting these 80 or 120mm fans in a 1U chassis? Remember 
you got barely 45mm to play
with at the back and front of the switch. How are you going to mount 
a 80mm or 120mm fan on there? Are you assuming that the units mounted

above (or below) your switch is a short 1U? You can't assume that...
A number of 1U products use large impeller fans. They take more 
internal space in the chassis, but they are slower and quieter. Tiny 
whiny seems to be the current fashion, though.

Re: [asterisk-users] Quiet 24 port POE gig switch

2009-02-02 Thread Singer XJ Wang

Honestly, how are you guys expecting a 24 Port POE to be fanless?

Lets start with some logical points here:

1) 24 Ports x 15.4W/Port = 369.4Watts + Switch Power = ~400Watts... now 
Power Supply isn't that efficient so you're getting probably a 500Watt 
Power Supply (assuming 80%)...


2) with a 1U chassis, you can't blow air up or down... only front and 
back.. so you're stuck with a 40mm fan..

The 2626 is either extremely noisy or fairly noisy, depending on which
you happen to get. Luck of the draw; I haven't found a way to predict
it. The 2650 is almost always in the fairly category.

However, the 2610-24 is fanless, which sounds great. Except the PoE
versions aren't fanless. The 2610-24/12PWR is not THAT bad unless
it gets hot, the 24PWR and 48PWR are fairly noisy.

Okay, point out one reasonably priced PoE switch that has it.

As much as I'm an open source guy, but the OpenMoko phones are worthless 
IMHO. Its suppose to be a modern phone, but seriously GRPS only? Is it 
too much to ask for at least EDGE if not 3G?

Because since I own the Moko I know *what* it means to have a UNIX based
(cell-) phone: You can SSH to it and change/install/write-by-your-own
whatever you want or what you feel missing. Now I want to have a UNIX
based bri phone. That's it, not more, but not less :-)

As much as I'm an open source guy, I'm also big on making my life 
easier. I use to bottom post till I got a BlackBerry. With BB (and also 
Treo, Windows Mobile, iPhones) its just easier to read with top posting. 
The phones generally download first X (I belive X = 4 for the 
BlackBerry) KB of each message.

We go offtopic of the list, I think;

one last statement from me: the OpenMoko is the best phone you can get
today (I'm using it as my daily phone); and it is the only one you can
SSH to and install/write what *you* want; I don't need more then GRPS
for data (I'm an ASCII guy for e-mail and USENET); and I have GPS, GSM,
full Linux, bash, X11, GTk, Python ... really, there is no better option 
for open source folks at the moment;

PD: if you are an open source guy, you should not top-post
