[asterisk-users] ast_debug messages not showing up

2011-11-17 Thread Yahya Mohammad
Hi,

I'm running Asterisk 1.8.7.1 on Gentoo. I set `core set debug 9` but don't
see any debug messages on the console. I do get the verbose messages from
ast_verbose. Is there something I need to configure to see these messages?

Regards,
Yahya

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk w/ Nokia e Series Handsets

 Anyone using Nokia E Series handsets with Asterisk?  I'm trying to
 deploy some e71's and am having an issue.  I can get a single handset
 working, but when I try to create a SIP profile on the second phone, it
 won't allow me to save the profile, saying that devices in the same
 realm must have identical username and password.
 
 Anyone have a workaround for this to add a second Nokia phone under the
 Asterisk realm with a different userid and PW?

I have an E71 and E61i working with asterisk in my office network without
problems. I did have a different problem when I used a second SIP
profile on the E61i with my home asterisk server and it would not
register. Turned out I could not have the same realm name with the same
username and password on the two profiles. Changing the realm name on my
home profile and asterisk fixed the problem.

 I have been wondering - if you ran your SIP traffic over VPN tunnels, what 
 would the state think of that?  They obviously won't be able to inspect 
 the data to see what is flowing through the tunnel.  Do thye also restrict 
 encrypted traffic?

They can't see the data due to encryption, but they can observe packets'
traffic patterns, and match them to typical usage by various protocols.
Bitek (

is one company that caters to state ISPs and I've heard their technology
can guess if voip is being used inside encrypted tunnels.

VPNs are not allowed on residential connections, but it's not really
enforced, and it does work well with voip. In any case, if an ISP can
block 95% of VoIP usage, it's good enough for them. It's probably not
worth the effort to block the remaining 5% tech savvy people.

I bought an Atcom AG188N ATA recently and it supports both SIP and IAX2,
has a built in router, supports g711, g729, g726, and iLBC and can be
configured via a web interface, or remote provisioning. 

I like it much better than the Digium IAXy. Configuring the IAXy is a
pain, and the fact that the server address can be specified by IP
address only is particularly annoying. The included power supply was
110 volt only making it bothersome for travel usage.

Re: [asterisk-users] Looking for good IAX ATA

2009-04-22 Thread Yahya Mohammad

  In places where SIP won't work for some reason, I register the phone to
  asterisk on my laptop which then converts the SIP channel to IAX.
 
 How did you do this? Were you using Wi-Fi to talk to the laptop (which was 
 using Wi-Fi to talk to the world?)

Yes, that's how I do it.

 A native Symbian IAX client for the Nokia which would use Wi-Fi (or packet 
 data connection!) would be the way forward. Ignore SIP entirely. The 
 mobile networks don't like you running VoIP over their data streams 
 though, however they don't seem to block it, but it is mentioned in the 
 TC's - at least for the UK networks I've used.

Yes, that would be better, but a SIP to IAX adapter on the phone would
be less work. The SIP client just needs to register to localhost. No
need to develop a user interface for a separate IAX client.

Btw, there are other options such as Fring, which I believe uses a
proprietary protocol from the cellphone to Fring servers, which is then
converted to SIP, Skype, Yahoo etc.

I live in the middle east, and the state run ISPs block SIP using deep
packet inspection technology. Moreover mobile data packages are so
expensive that it's cheaper to make a cellular call.

 
 Here's an amusing thought: My Nokia E90 has a SIP client built-in, and it 
 doesn't support the GSM codec - only G711 and G729! I once used it via 
 Wi-Fi when in a conference call - the call lasted 45 minutes and it nearly 
 exhusted the battery and the phone was very hot by the end of it (I was 
 using a headset to the phone!) Good for quick calls, not yet for daily use 
 I reckon.

I noticed no such issues on my E61i. Maybe you had a weak wifi signal
and the phone ramped up its radio Tx power?

 I've never really taken one apart, but perhaps now is a good time.  I
 recently also purchased a QuickPhones QA-342 wifi rechargeable handset:

 I was curious to try this out, even though I knew it was SIP only.  In the
 office, it works GREAT - LONG battery life, good reception, but no IAX
 support.  A good IAX ATA and IAX protocol stack in a phone like the QA-342
 would be a hands down winner all around.
 
 Immagine, being able to roam anywhere with a device like this or ATA and not
 having to fuss with SIP/NAT.
 
 I wish I had knowledge on building embedded devices, else I'd build my own
 by now...

I prefer the Nokia E-series wifi enabled cell phones that have a SIP
client builtin. I have an E61i and it works great in a wireless hotspot.
In places where SIP won't work for some reason, I register the phone to
asterisk on my laptop which then converts the SIP channel to IAX. 

An idea is to write SIP to IAX conversion server software for the phone
itself using free libraries which I imagine should be easier that
building your own embedded hardware.

DNS was the cause. Replacing the hostname with its IP address fixed it.

[asterisk-users] iax2 not registering at startup, works on reload

2009-03-31 Thread Yahya Mohammad
I'm running asterisk on Ubuntu 8.10. I have two 'register' lines in
iax.conf for registering with two remote servers.  However only the
first one registers at system startup. I always have to issue an 'iax2
reload' command before * registers with the second remote host.

This only happens at system boot. If I stop and start asterisk using
/etc/init.d/asterisk script the problem does not occur.

Any ideas?
