We have it working on a dl320, several ML350's, ml310, but never tried on a
dl380 yet.

We had serious issues in the past when iLO was enabled on a 350. disabling
iLO on that machine helped us. (we had irq errors)

You could try disabling iLO, just to make sure.

Re: [asterisk-users] DTMF tones mid conversation

  I wonder if anyone is able to offer any [polite ;-)] words of wisdom??

I can be polite, I'm not sure about the wisdom .. :-)

 DTMF threshold in misdn-init look high doesn't it...  I'm not entirely sure
 what it should be set to, to be honest..  (min-max values for tuning);
 have read max value is 100, but others suggest it'll go higher - but what
 exactly is it tuning the sensitivity value of specifically? (i.e. what is
 the threshold value).  DTMF detection works well for *genuine* DTMF digits
 dialled over the ISDN trunk, but mISDN/Asterisk still recognises them
 incorrectly at times during calls (to/from cell phones).

I'm using almost the same setup but I'm in Belgium. Also a b410p. The dtmf
seems to get triggered more by some calls then other. It also depends on the
voice. (higher tones trigger dtmf more easily) My dtmfthreshold is set to
100. Guess it's the (in)sane default ? :-)

Oh, are you having random crashes on your mISDN setup too ?

 I've also seen other posts refer to settings in Dahdi.conf (such as
 relaxdtmf) - surely Dahdi doesn't have anything to do with this if I'm using
 chan_misdn??

Correct. Only has anything to do with it if you're using chan_dahdi.
I can't reproduce the same behaviour on dahdi.

 Is anyone able to confirm exactly whether mISDN's hardware DSP and driver
 is responsible for detecting DTMF, or whether it's Asterisk analysing the
 inbound audio?  Scanning the README.misdn (sourced separately) the
 chan_misdn driver readme comments a feature as DTMF Detection in
 HW+mISDNdsp (much better than asterisks internal!) - so surely DTMF is
 recognised and passed on by mISDN to Asterisk.  The fact that the log
 messages prefixed by P[ 1] are mISDN - I think I've answered my own question
 there...

Yes, it's mISDN that detects the dtmf.

 Prior to going down the mISDN route, I looked at Dahdi as the Dahdi configs
 mention native Dahdi B410P support.  But, the conclusion I came to (although
 what I read didn't make it clear me) is that the readme was referring to
 Dahdi B410P support in Ast 1.6, not 1.4.  That sound right?  Dahdi readme:

Right again. i've been experimenting with Dahdi's b410p for a while now,
it's only available in asterisk 1.6, with the latest libpri and dahdi
releases.
It's much cleaner, imho, but I'm having issues with receiving faxes when
using dahdi, so I'm stuck with mISDN for the moment :-)

 Enough reading.. if you're still awake!  Any help would be very much
 appreciated.

Nice to see someone else is using the same setup. I was beginning to think
that people with BRI stopped using asterisk in Europe :-)

Keep in touch or post to the mailing list if you have any further
news/experiences..

[asterisk-users] dahdi wcb4xxp and fax

2009-02-25 Thread stoffell
Hi all,

I wanted to switch from my current setup (mISDN) to the native dahdi with
b410p support (wcb4xp). All works fine for normal phone calls but not for
faxing. Faxes are distorted, if arriving at all, and hylafax logs the usual
bad stuff (HDLC frame not byte-oriented.)

Our setup uses a digium b410p card with asterisk 1.6, latest libpri and
dahdi, hylafax with iaxmodem, and all this on 1 machine.

chan_dahdi.conf contains:
faxdetect=both

When receiving a fax call, hylafax (iaxmodem) answers the call after the
obligatory wait of 3 seconds (fax detection) but to me it seems that echo
cancellation is still being done.

Any pointers on this or workarounds? We're back to our old misdn setup for
now ;)

Here's some output from dahdi show channel 1 (the one that had the fax
connection going), i cut out some non-related stuff :
*CLI dahdi show channel 4

Hi there, we do run the hpasm on the HP Proliant servers without any problem.

2006-09-26 Thread stoffell

I also think you get what you pay for and I don't use hfc based isdn
cards in production any more. Having said that, a small home
installation isn't quite the same as a 30 user office environment. My
home-pbx for example is quite happy reloading asterisk+zaphfc every
night. Of course not something I'd accept in a production environment,
but that's probably not what HFC-s cards are aimed at either, right?


Imho, the bri cards based on hfc chipsets work very well.. I too have
some problems with bristuff, but I don't think the card is to be
blamed here..

The mISDN way looks like a better way, the BRI cards of digium also
use it.. And they're not cheap.. So I guess it's time (for me at
least) to reconsider the setup and try out the mISDN-way.. It's no
problem to use mISDN with the quadbri of junghanns or beronet, they're
all hfc-based..

[asterisk-users] non-technical, dealing with users giving feedback

2006-09-15 Thread stoffell

Hi list,

Any suggestions on how to deal correctly (socially and technically)
with users complaining about features/issues? For instance, users
complaining about echo; personally I ask the user(s) to give me all
the details when reporting echo (like; using handset/speaker,
internal/external call, volume, location, time, phone number, ..).

This goes well the very first time, but the users (and I understand
that) forget some details, or after a few times, don't give the
details anymore.. Result, troubleshooting gets much harder.

Is there a good way to deal with these situations without annoying the
users or myself too much?

Thanks for the tips..

Since a few days I'm looking for the 'best' way to get the telco

An alternative option is to detect the hangup_cause (no problem here)

Not really... But be sure to test if you don't have the hangup bug.

[Asterisk-Users] bristuff hangup issue

2006-06-29 Thread stoffell

hi,

Just wanted to inform everyone, if you're using the latest bristuff's
you might (depends on the country!) have hangup issues.

The issue appears every time you dial an external number, and hangup
after letting it ring for a few times. Then the remote party keeps
ringing.

In some situations (we only encountered this while dialing to other *
servers) it keeps the line open on the telco-side. Meaning.. you pay
for it! The cdr on the calling asterisk (with the bug) doesn't
indicate a long connection time. However, the cdr on the called
asterisk does.. (I've seen several durations of over 20 hours) A show
channels doesn't indicate any active calls.

A quick fix has been posted a while ago by Marcel van der Boom (in
libpri/q931.c), this works. According to the release notes this should
have been applied to the latest bristuff, but be careful, the problem
still exists on bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1q.

I have emailed junghanns.net to let them know.

Best regards,

stoffell

I didn't get any reply yet. (but I'm used to that ;))

But yes, the -q release CHANGES file contained this:
- libpri fix for P2P BRI in Belgium

But the bug still exists (at least in Belgium on ISDN), before it also
existed in The Netherlands if I'm correct.

Is it really every time ?


Yes, on calling cell phones, other * servers, fixed PSTN's, ..

Just want to inform and see if anyone else is 'infected' :) , we had
an extra bill of 300€ last month due to this error. (in the beginning
we didn't even knew the error was there..)

[Asterisk-Users] app_sms not working anymore

2006-06-29 Thread stoffell

Hi,

I have been using app_sms for a few weeks now, since I recently
upgrade to asterisk 1.2.9.1  (latest bristuff, -q) however, app_sms
doesn't seem to work that well anymore..

On receiving an sms, I execute the app_sms script, and get this as output:

-- Accepting voice call from '171701' to 'ournumber' on channel 0/1, span 2
-- Executing Goto(Zap/4-1, custom-smsrx|sms|1) in new stack
-- Goto (custom-smsrx,sms,1)
-- Executing SMS(Zap/4-1, asterisk-20020-1151573913.346|a) in new stack
-- SMS TX 93 00 6D
-- Hungup 'Zap/4-1'

For some reason there's no SMS RX after the TX, can this be a bug, or
is this telco related?

Because we only needed 1 NIC, we disabled the 2nd onboard NIC. That
made 1 pci slot free of IRQ sharing, making the system stable and

If you're using a 2850, you can disable the onboard NIC2, it's sharing
its IRQ with 1 PCI slot. Just find out wich one. The other PCI slots
share with 2 devices.

By doing this I have also gotten very good results on a Dell 2850.

[Asterisk-Users] replacing step-by-step giving echo

2006-04-27 Thread stoffell
hi there,

We just encountered the following.. a customer has a tradifional PBX
that runs next to asterisk. Both PBX's have their own E1 line. Now
'some' numbers are forwarded from the traditional PBX to the new
asterisk server. (both have different DID numbers assigned)

When those numbers are called, basically the call arrives on the
traditional PBX, gets forwarded to the new number, meaning it goes out
the same E1 again, to the new E1 (different telecom operators).

Those calls are encountering echo most of the time. When dialing into
the E1 on the asterisk server directly, all goes well. (no echo)

Should I look into asterisk, the traditional PBX, or even the telecom operator?

cheers..

Chris, I mostly agree.. In Europe a 'small' business often only counts
2 - 5 persons. When the budget doesn't allow it, the only way one can
keep a customer satisfied, is by trying to get the best of both
worlds.. Wich isn't always easy, but sometimes necessary.
(not all SMB's need a failover server, etc..)

However.. When possible, I also try to use manageable switches,
high-end hardware, and dedicated servers for important tasks.

The idea of having an asterisk server that also handles 'other' tasks
during the night (in case the company isn't open 24hrs..) is a good
one and one to remember..

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Grandstream GXP-2000

2006-02-17 Thread stoffell
 I'm going to propose to my boss the buying 15 Grandstream GXP-2000 phones.
 - Is it a good choice (budget limit of 100 Euro/phone is mandatory)?
 - Can be a profitable business the direct buying of 50 phones (to save other
 money) or is it a risk?

if you've never tried a phone, it's always a risk.
I'd advise against buying 'any' 15 phones without first trying at least 1..

However, the GXP-2000 is an okay phone. The Thomson ST2030 however is
firmer (almost same price) but doesn't have the BLF and MWI. It
depends on what features you need.

Comparing the 'speed/performance' of the software running on it (a

[Asterisk-Users] thomson speedtouch ST2030

2006-02-06 Thread stoffell
hi there,

I saw a page on voip-info about the thomson ST2030 phone. There is not
so much info on there, that's why I would like to raise a question
here.

Has anyone got hands-on experience with this phone? (with or without
extension module)

I am interested if it can be used (as SIP phone) in a good way with
asterisk. (also, do all the functions behave like they should; like
Supervision backlighted keys etc..)

Seems like a nice alternative to other phones, here in Europe.
(because linksys 942 is not easily available in europe, yet)

All info on this more then welcome!

you calculate this number (40-50) ? Or do you write this number down

I assume when using PRI - G.711, that machine could handle 'much' more?

If you have a fairly decent 100Mbit switch, you'll be fine. I assume
you will make up to 10 simultaneous calls, so you can calculate the
bandwidth you'll be using.
(http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Bandwidth+consumption) When using

If you don't overload your internal network, you'll be fine..

We are having some echo issues but that is due to echo cancellation (we think) on zap calls, I'm now starting a test (by using it for a while) with a cisco 7912 to see if it makes any difference.
