[asterisk-users] RE: Web based call control

2007-05-15 Thread Chip Schweiss
There's a better way.  Take a look at how to do a Find me at 
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+tips+findme 
You can have the call only completed when they press a key on the receiving 
phone.  No voicemail will trigger that.

Subject: Web based call control

Does anyone know if it is possible to use a manager command to answer an 
incoming call and not consider it answered unitl it is received. Here is an 
example, I am deivering a call in the dialplan to a home telephone number. I 
don't want his voicemail to answer and I have no idea how long it will take to 
go to their home phone voicemail, but I don't want to deliver the call there, I 
want it to go to the next priority in asterisk. So I was thinking that it would 
be nice to build a web interface that they could have a button to answer with. 
This would send a manager command to the server telling it to answer the 
channel, any thoughts on how to do this.

[Asterisk-Users] WiFi phones and WDS (Wireless Distribution System)

2006-03-21 Thread chip
I'm about to start working with WiFi phones on my Asterisk 
installations.

Can anyone tell me if they are using WiFi phones on wireless network 
that is extended with WDS and how well the phone handles jumping from 
access point to access point while on a call?

Do any WiFi phones support WPA encryption or are they all still under 
the impression they are only being used on public hot spots?

Thanks!

RE:[Asterisk-Users] Speeding up the dial of DTMF's in SIP channel

2006-03-17 Thread chip
When using dtmfmode=info, Asterisk is hard coded for 250ms
tone duration in chan_sip.c

I've changed this to 100ms without any ill effects.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Speeding up the dial of DTMF's in
SIP channel

I'm dialing DTMF's in a SIP channel using the options:

[sip.conf]
dmtfmode=info

[extensions.conf]
exten = _XXX,1,Dial(SIP/gateway,,D(${EXTEN}))

(this is a custom SIP gateway, which receives the DTMF's sent
from 
softphones through Asterisk, and based on them, build the
destination 
PSTN number).

My problem is that Dial send the DTMF's to the SIP/gateway
user at a 
rate of about 1 DTMF each 300ms. I'd like to know if it's
possible to 
speed up that rate, or even, if it's possible to send the entire 
extension as a single DTMF string.

Does anybody has a clue about how to do this? I was looking
the options 
for the Dial command, and nothing like that appears on it.

Thanks a lot for your help.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] TE411P Really Bad Echo

2006-02-11 Thread chip
I can definitely vouch for Sangoma’s cards with hardware echo
cancel.  I’ve been installing Asterisk boxes for about 6
months now using Digium TDM cards and Sipura SPA-3000s in
small installations.  This past month I installed in a small
office with 3 pots lines.  The echo was very bad and of
course the phone company (SBC) claims the lines pass all
tests.  I exhausted all the echo cancel combinations in
zaptel and still had echo and bad noise during double talk. 
I installed a Sangoma A200 with hardware echo cancel and you
would never know there was a problem. It’s the best sounding
connection I’ve heard through Asterisk.

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] TE411P Really Bad Echo

It was Digium's opinion that perhaps the card had a VPM.  We
got a replacement TE411P, I implemented it tonight and still
the exact same echo problem.  At this point I feel like I can
rule out failed hardware.  

I contacted Digium support and now they are telling me it's
something with my carrier, and I should call them.  I called
Bellsouth, and they ran a full stress test on the circuit
taking me offline for about 30 minutes.  

The end result is that the circuit test passed with no
errors.  Bellsouth says it's not in their network, Digium
says its not their card, and I have a te411p with VPM
disabled in the wct4xx kernel module because something
doesn't work the way it should.  My customer is wanting to
know about sangoma cards with the echo cancellation, and at
this point I'm nervous to recommend any hardware.  I'm going
to look into the sangoma that you suggested.  Are there any
other kinds of products that I could look into either Passive
or Active.

Thanks

For what it's worth, we have been going through very similar
issues
with a TE411P - with Digium support, we have basically gone
as far as
we can with the HW EC, and are now using MG2 with much better
results.

We have a Ditech EC box on order.

1 to 2 seconds?! That's ridiculously huge. I don't think
you'll find
a echo canceler anywhere that can fix your echo problem. If
it gets
better with the VPM disabled, then definitely contact Digium
tech-support about it.

[Asterisk-Users] How do you force Asterisk to use only specific codecs?

2003-07-03 Thread Chip G
Is there a way in Asterisk configuration to force the
use of specific codecs only... for example:

Never use GSM
Try G.723 if available with end point
Try G.729 if available with end point
Try G.711 if available with end point

Something like that?

Thanks!
Chip

[Asterisk-Users] How does Asterisk handle connecting two IP end points?

2003-07-03 Thread Chip G
When a connection is carried between two IP end
points, does the Asterisk server incur CPU usage to
pass the voice bearing circuit between the two end
points? Is it possible to have Asterisk setup the call
but hand off the voice traffic to be handled directly
between the two end points?

Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] Another Newbie Question

2003-06-27 Thread Chip Mefford
I'm getting ready to give asterisk another shot
here. Didn't have a lotta luck last time, about 7-8
months back.
I have been scanning the list all this time though,
lurking.
A question that comes up from time to time, that I have
yet to see answered is;
Is anyone actually using * as a primary phone system in
a small/medium sized business with more than a dozen
stations and a real receptionist who handles calls?
If so, could you email me so we could chat some?

Thanks kindly for any input

Take care

[Asterisk-Users] Terrible audio quality using Asterisk and X-Lite?

2003-06-27 Thread Chip G
Greetings! I have made great progress thanks to this
group. My Asterisk seems to be working for the most
part. I am using the following equipment/software:

* HP Vectra VL - Pentium Pro CPU - 256MB RAM
* Redhat Linux 8 - Loaded straight from distro CDs as
Developer Workstation - latest updates from RHN
* Asterisk (latest as of two weeks ago when I used CVS
checkout)
* X-Lite SIP Client on a Windows 2000 PC
* 10 Base-T network between the PC and the Asterisk
server
* The Win 2000 PC is acting as a router to the
Internet. It has a 10/100 NIC connected back to
Asterisk and a wireless NIC to the Internet.

I have configured using Andy's quick start and the
Asterisk manual as guides. I have setup a single
extension with voicemail. When I call, the generic
voicemail greeting answers and allows me to leave a
message. I receive an e-mail with the message
attached. However, the quality of the recording is
terrible. I also notice that the quality of the audio
during the voicemail greeting is intermittently great
and sometimes choppy/missed completely.

Are there any settings that I can tinker with to
enhance the VoIP quality in this configuration?

Thanks!
Chip
