similar to: ExternalIVR vs AGI

Can anyone provide any further info on External IVR application? It seems interesting. I currently have a heavily used AGI script that I use for a custom IVR. It is written in Perl. I wonder if it would be more efficient to "migrate" it to this External IVR. Will it be more efficient? Will it use less resources? Does anyone have ANY sample code that runs as an external IVR?

I've opened a few bugs on ExternalIVR and added patches. The biggest issue is: https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=16174 [patch] ExternalIVR does not handle arguments in a consistant manner Basically, this optimizes and fixes several different ways of calling ExternalIVR. If there is anyone who is using ExternalIVR today and/or is willing to test these patches I would appreciate the

I'm having trouble with ExternalIVR's socket connection. Is it working in the current 1.6.0 trunk? I'm getting this error: Executing [s at ck987_externIVR:1] ExternalIVR("SIP/itp_jnctn-0000006c", "ivr://127.0.0.1:9012") in new stack [Feb 21 13:38:12] NOTICE[15864]: app_externalivr.c:631 eivr_comm: SIP/itp_jnctn-0000006c: stderr: Failed to execute

Hello, I played with the externalIVR application. So far I am able to read digits and play sound files. But how can I leave the application and continue in the dialplan so that I can execute other actions like going to voicemail, or ringing users etc.... Best regards, Lo?c. -- Lo?c DIDELOT MIXvoip S.a.

Is there any way to use Festival from script called by the ExternalIVR() dialplan function? Thanks, David Ruggles CCNA MCSE (NT) CNA A+ Network Engineer Safe Data, Inc. (910) 285-7200 david@safedatausa.com

I have written a script that is executed using ExternalIVR(). I am running in to performance issues when I have four or more simultaneous calls running this script. I'm running on a P4 2.8 with 512M, all calls are GSM coming in over IAX from an asterisk box that acts as a switch and handles all PSTN interfaces. My question are these: Are there ways of optimizing ExternalIVRs? (maybe

Hello! I have developed an IVR using AGI and so far it works great. I'm using Cepstral voices, but now want to use the voices from AT & T that are on a Windows server to be heard best. With cepstral what I do is to generate audio files from shipping and this text I reproduce this method it has worked very well. Now, try to do the same by creating the audio file in windows with the

Hi, We have a "simple" AGI script that provides some IVR functionality. It connects to a MySQL database in order to create a call record and capture IVR data. During the IVR process, we need to store the time the call started, so basically we INSERT a new MySQL row with callstart = NOW(), uniqueid = AGI(agi_uniqueid). As the user selects different options, we update the row to reflect

I see the following paragraph in the Asterisk trunk LICENSE file: "In addition, Asterisk implements two management/control protocols: the Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) and the Asterisk Gateway Interface (AGI). It is our belief that applications using these protocols to manage or control an Asterisk instance do not have to be licensed under the GPL or a compatible license, as we believe

Hello, I'm wondering if I can take benefits of long prompts to compute in the background the next step to be performed by Asterisk. Do you know what will be the behavior of asterisk if I send a STREAM FILE command immediately followed by another command ? Will asterisk stack commands or will it stop the first one to execute the second one ? If stops, is there any AGI library that handles

Is there anyone that could explain to me the phenomenon of Echo or at least point me where I can learn more? Why is this affecting the VoIP world so much and not the regular PSTN analog world? What does the PSTN industry have that they can handle such high volume of calls and there is "no" echo problem? Thanks, Daniel

I've had a quick look through the mail list and wiki but haven't yet resorted to looking at the meetme source code.. I see references to a background agi script that can run if you're using Zap channels. Am I right in saying that that script runs for each channel in the conference? Or is it a one time deal, running when the conference is created? The backgrounder behind my question is

I want to be able to allow a caller to dial a ddi, system to verify identity etc (this is all done) I then want them to sit listening to music, until an event happens. When this (external) event happens, I want to play a certain file to the caller, using playback (so that they have ff / rw etc), and when finished, go back to the music. 1) I thought of redirecting to an extension that played the

hi everyone, actually i want to release an IVR system using PHPAGI API , in this IVR i want to get value from the user. I already used get_data defined in phpagi but they are not able to get the value given by the user and store it in a php variable. i tested this : $result = $agi->get_data('beep', 3000, 20); $keys = $result['result']; but every time i found in $keys variable

I have a client with 20 GXP-2000s. Everything seems to be working fine. However, after a couple of weeks of use, the client is having a hard time adjusting to the new IP based phone systems and only misses one feature from their old Lucent system. That is, they had 8 analog lines before and all their old Lucent phones showed a button for each line. So, it was easy for anyone to say,

HI Matt, I am trying to replicate this particular problem. We are seeing more frequently where the Event: AsyncAGIExec is never being sent. The two scenarios I have seen in tests yesterday and today... We sendl an AMI action. For example, play a short file or hangup. AMI Events will indicate it did the work, but we never receive the Event: AsyncAGIExec with a result at all. Asterisk debug

Hi i want to put an AGI script in a queue, to serve once at time the callers. Example: Queue (8 callers waiting) Agi script / IVR (serving the caller) can i do that? Thanks

Is there any tool that can do LCR for Asterisk but also take into account MOS scores? Is it possible to automatically generate MOS scores on random "calls" so as to keep an updated database on a per provider, per destination, per time-of-day score? Hopefully, with that information we can create a better LCR module or script? Thanks, Daniel
