[Asterisk-Users] Polycom 501 logo onscreen
Anyone know how (or if it's possible) to get a logo on the screen of a Polycom 501? I've been looking around for hints on how to do it but so far nothing would indicate Polycom supports doing it. -bill ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Don't know what to do if second ROSE component is of type 0x6
I also have the same problem at a customer. It's PRI setup as 5ESS. It doesn;t seem to be hurting anything but it is related to the caller ID. I tried google for docs etc but I came up with nothing I could understand or figure out. Over time I've used both Sangoma and Digium card and it appears with both. I've mostly been running CVS head at this location for several months. The problem still exists in CVS head from around 2 weeks ago. The situation seems related to 800 number inbound only. I have some PRI debug traces where I can call the PRI from my house using the toll free 800 number that is routed to the PRI. I get the second rose 6 error. When I dial the local pilot line that feeds into the PRI the call comes through with no error message. The only difference is the number I use to call the PRI. 800 toll free vs local number. It also seems to affect the Caller ID name. Caller ID number comes throug in both cases. Caller ID Name doesn;t seem to show up when I get a Rose 6 error. I was hoping to put the two traces up next to each other and see what's coming down the D channel differently in the two situations but so far I havn;t had the time... -bill Jeremy Gault wrote: FWIW, we are also seeing this message each time we receive a call. I also went the Google route and found only questions, not answers. We are running a PRI from US LEC (channels 1-10 are B-channels, with channel 24 being the D-channel, and we are only running voice on the PRI.) The PRI is connected directly to our Digium TE110P card, and obviously we are using the zaptel drivers. We did not see this message when running */zaptel/libpri 1.0.9. However, after upgrading (we went to 1.2.0-beta1 and now to CVS) we started seeing the message. (I don't remember exactly if we saw it in the beta, but we do in the CVS.) In our case, it does not seem to affect the stability of our * machine. (However, bear in mind that you may be using parts of * that we do not, and the problem could lie in those parts.) We're handling all PSTN calls via the PRI, except outbound to toll-free which are handed off to an IAX gateway on the Internet. Our employees' desks are connected via the LAN (using Polycom 500/501 SIP phones.) I have a remote extension at home (also SIP) using a Sipura SPA-2000. We did have some stability issues (Asterisk would segfault) when we first moved to CVS. Of course, safe_asterisk handled this and a couple of days later we updated again from CVS and it seemed to fix the stability issue we were having. If you are using CVS (but not the latest one) you may want to try upgrading. I wouldn't worry about that message, though.

The gpl code can be used in an asterisk fork like openpbx or in something written from scratch like MyStinkingPBX as long as the license is honored. That helps digium hardware sales. Dual licensing is not such a bad thing. Suppose I want to build a proprietary black box product that uses the acme XYZ99 chipset. Do you think the author of a good GPL'ed XYZ99 device driver would refuse to consider a good legal dual-license opportunity? I doubt it. Also consider that there are situations where 100% open source is never allowed. Check out visa/mastercard processor certification for a good example. Digium dual licensing availability means I could actually stand a chance of using asterisk as the basis for systems used by military and law enforcement in applications that require extremely high security. One problem with the dual license is only Digium employee's can check code into the main code base. Lawyers could be all over product like ABE if they were not vigilant on people signing the license document. In the end this does hamper third party hardware support (ie device drivers) being integrated into the main Asterisk code tree. To do this would require the new hardware manufacturer not only to release their driver under GPL, but to also give the code away to Digium. Something many of them may be unwilling to do. The other option is for the new hardware company to purchase some other type of Asterisk license from Digium. The question is: Long term is Digium a hardware or a software company? Law enforcement and many high security systems use open source in many cases. Look at the security products built from OpenBSD for example.

[Asterisk-Users] Hangup half a call?
Scenario is as follows. Caller comes in over ZAP channel connects to handset on another ZAP channel. Call is bridged. I'd like the callee to be able to hangup on the caller and then be presented with a agi application. Basically the agent that answered the call has to enter a few responses to questions asterisk asks. On some ACD phone systems this is called a wrap code. Lets you build basic call statistics. IE the agent enters a 1 on a sale and a 2 on no sale kinda thing. You run through your log file or sql db and produce a couple of basic counts. I'm using the new features.conf applicationmap to startup whatever I want on the dialplan. Instead of having the callee just hangup his phone, press *3 and launch on an extension in the dialplan. How do I hangup only the caller and let the callee continue? Another way I though to handle it is to introduce an H extension in the dialplan. h handles one side of the hangup, let H handle the other side Can anyone think of a way to handle this? I'd prefer not to introduce new features into asterisk at this time since they won;t be considered for Asterisk 1.2, and it looks like Asterisk 1.2 release release date has slipped to infinity.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] looking for failover ideas
Can you post or email your patch can I take a look at it?

For example to allow multiple asterisk machines to use the same CDR DB. You would be able to select on the data from just one of the servers. We did this and it works fine as you might expect. Perhaps we should put it up on bugs.digium.com, but it wasn't a big change. Also for example in sip.conf for registration. Have the specific asterisk server that processes the sip registration put it's identifier (IP address for example) into a field in the DB also. That way other asterisk servers sharing the DB would be able to know what asterisk server a SIP phone is registered to. Does anybody else think this might be useful? To my mind it doesn't make much difference where the phone is registered to. Registration is just a way to find out the contact info (IP address mainly) for the SIP user. Once we have that on one machine, in principle it can be used on any machine. The only issue may be that NAT is open from the machine to which the phone originally registered, bt not from others. So in our application we didn't bother to track which machine took the original registration.

Most incoming calls do not have the Caller Name appearing. Caller ID number always comes in.

Caller ID number comes in, caller name comes in and asterisk doesn;t report any errors.

Without that information I must again ask the question; What 1u server combos work with the new quad pri cards UNDER LOAD (more than 75% channel use).

[Asterisk-Users] EM wink start patch
I'm trying to get a patch tested for inclusion in CVS. Anyone that is running EM on a T1 and had to fool around with emdigitwait could you please try this. This patch removes the need for the emdigitwait parameter and speeds up dialing. This situation is mostly interfacing a legacy PBX/Key system with Asterisk. I've been running a couple of systems with this patch for about 6 months without problem. Please see the bug DB for the patch file. It's a small patch at under 20 lines. http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=3805 Any feedback is appreciated. -bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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

That can't happen, because the ABE could, and probably would, absorb all of the advances in the fork, while forging ahead with the original. Since the fork would be GPL only, if ABE 'absorbed' the new features, then it would 'become' GPL, and therefore would need to be released as GPL, and hence would no longer by ABE :) So, that can't happen. Any other ideas? You're forgetting about the disclaimer documents. Anyone who signed the perpetual agreement and made changes and/or enhancements to the Asterisk code (a fork would still be using Asterisk code) would firstly be obliged to inform the owner, and would secondly have a prior agreement with the owner to allow them to use and close the code. That would neatly bypass the GPL and allow the new code to be folded into the Asterisk Binary Edition. It's unlikely that the current pool of asterisk developers will remain static however. People change jobs, new people find asterisk interesting, people that have not contributed before start to contribute. Assuming a fork were to happen one day. Lots of current developers would stay with the Digium tree because they know it, are digium partners, think it's a better idea, already signed the disclaimer and don;t have an issue with it etc. Many new developers submitting smaller patches would not bother to sign a legal disclaimer and just submit the patch to the full GPL tree. The splinter GPL tree would likely integrate the changes faster and obviously don;t care about a disclaimer. The practicalities of tracking the changes between two source trees would just get more and more time consuming for Digium. They will want to make 100% legal sure that every change they bring into their tree comes from somebody with a disclaimer. Rewriting the missing bits with other programmers would just help the tree's diverge faster. Meanwhile a full GPL tree can just plow ahead without concern. Many companies successfully manage the commercial GPL gap. MySQL for example. The difference in this case is selling a binary only version instead of making money off just hardware and support services/contracts. At the end of the day Digium own the Asterisk trademark and in the world these days, brand name recognition is often more important than the product behind it. -bill ___ 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
[Asterisk-Users] Queue_log stats
I'm in search of useful ACD type statistics from the queues. Ie talk
time, ratio's, dropped calls etc.
The flat file queue_log is nice, but more useful would be the data in
Postgres or Mysql. Unfortunately the queue module does not yet
support ODBC DB logging (yet). In the meantime this quick and dirty
hack gets the job done.
Replace the flat file with a unix named pipe. Works with all
versions of asterisk. Removes the need for daily cron job to parse
and move the log file to SQL for later processing.
This script could be easily adapted for other flat file type logging.
If anybody has some PHP, perl or whatever code that does asterisk
queue stats or has a question abut this script please contact me.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] OT (kinda): Justification for adding Asteriskto the business plan
It's all about the testing before rollout. The problem with the run of the mill IT guy (especially ones involved in web sites) they tend to think that testing something means you try a few calls and if it works it's all fine. Testing isn;t beating into them in the same way it is in the telecom guys. There are often unforeseen implications of changing the smallest little knob on the system. Unless you are willing to really think about how to make the box fail and try the permutations and combinations the end user is always going to be unhappy. At the end of the day for some incremental income you don;t want to take an otherwise happy customer and turn him into a nightmare in the search to add a little VOIP. -bill On 15-Jul-05, at 8:15 AM, /dev/null wrote: The fact that Asterisk is soft and you're trying to sell to an IT Company.. Just to clarify, we make up the IT company and we'd be selling it to our customers that may or may not be IT based. The company does run VoIP but does not use Asterisk (using VoIP to add additional local lines in different area codes). What I'm trying to accomplish is a convo/thread of why IT consultancies should take on Asterisk in their normal support (or a value-add service). When I look at VoIP, I see nothing different between setting up and configuring perl scripts for AGI/* Manager interfaces (system admin scripting) to plugging the BRI into a Digium card from the old T1 router. Granted there are some differences in command configurations and might have to label a wire or two Voice instead of Data but nothing earth shattering. As for sales, it would be just adding new listings under Telephones in the yellow pages and adding a few words to brochures/web pages. -Don ___ 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 ___ 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] Nortel Option 11
I'm doing a similar thing with a Nortel Norstar system. The KSU has a T1 card configured as an EM trunk and a PRI card. The EM interface and zaptel had some issues with dialing digits manually and having lost digits. 1.0.7 and CVS HEAD have a feature called emdigitwait to help solve the problem. Unfortunately it doesn;t totally fix the issue. I submitted another patch the other day that fixes the dialing on EM without requiring trial and error setting of emwaitdigit but it's not been adopted yet. Look at the wiki it has good information to help set this up. FYI, I've found CVS HEAD to have better echo canceling than 1.0.7. I also had some issues with the T1 going into Yellow Alarm once or twice a day in stable, it's disappeared in HEAD. -bill On 24-Mar-05, at 2:07 PM, Jeff Pratt wrote: Friend, George E. wrote: Question...I'm fairly new to Asterisk, but one location I'm looking at deploying Asterisk has an Option 11 in place already (it's actually in someone's HOME - long story).

George I am currently using a TDM04B connnected to 4 2500 lines, and a T100P connected to a NT5D14 line side T1 card(program them like 2500 sets). I will shortly be implementing a new T1 trunk to split our office side voice off onto asterisk. The TDM04B and T100P service multiple ACD queues, some of which handle Voicemail for external employees, and some of which provide IVR services for human operated ACD queues. You can also use a 4 port T1 card as a go between for your CO T1s and your switch. Simply set up one port as CPE (this connects to the telco T1s), and one port as NET (this connects to your switch). Then set up asterisk to send any calls that you don't want asterisk to handle down the appropriate pipe (inbounds would go up the NET T1, and outbounds up the CPE T1). If you look around voip-info.org you should find where someone documented doing that with a Norstar.
