Hi all, I've got a number of Grandstream phones and I'd like to be able to reboot them remotely, as I do my Polycoms... I've got this in my sip_notify.cfg: [grandstream-check-cfg] Event=>sys-control Doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? -- Take care and have fun, Mike Diehl.

Hi all, I seem to be having a strange problem with a sip trunk. On a fairly frequent basis, I'll make a call, ore receive a call, and there will be NO sound. The strange part is that both endpoints are public IP addresses so NAT isn't in play and a sniffer trace reveals that the packets simply aren't being sent. It only seems to happen on a particular trunk. The same phone

Hi all, I used to configure each of my sip clients with a unique identifier via setvar. These clients were all configured as "friends." However, now that I've got some Polycom phones, which MUST be "peers," I am unable to define this variable. For example, this works: [friend-client] context = default accountcode = pcc type = friend username = username secret =

Hi all, I'm trying to tighten things up a bit and I seem be be running into something that doesn't make sense to me. I've got 2 contexts, one for customers, and one for guests, that I include into [customers] and [default], in extensions.conf, as below: ============================================================= [default] include = dial_GUEST [customers] include = parkedcalls

Hi all, Is it possible to send a SIP header to a PAP2T or SPAxxxx and cause the device to automatically answer? I can do this with my Polycom phones and would like to do it with my ATA's. Any ideas? -- Take care and have fun, Mike Diehl.

Hi all, Lately, I've been seeing more and more instances where I get a flood of warning messages like this: [Apr 26 14:09:50] WARNING[21054] udptl.c: No UDPTL ports remaining The next thing I know, my server is dropping calls and starting to misbehave. I use fax via T.38, so I can't just turn udptl off. I could expand the port range, but I suspect that will just mask the situation.

Hi all. I'm in the process of configuring a phone system for my family and friends. I'm wondering if I should try to implement the "Vertical Services" (http://www.nanpa.com/number_resource_info/vsc_assign) in the Asterisk dialplan, or if I should delegate those functions to the various ATA's. For example, the Sipura SPA 2002 can handle*69 internally. On the other

Hi all, I've cross-posted this to the -users and -biz groups. Hope that's OK. I have a customer who REALLY needs to be able to send/receive faxes reliably. I could probably get hylafax configured, but I'm not sure how reliable it is. If it is considered reliable, would someone let me know? Otherwise, is there a product/service they can buy that will allow them to fax to/from

Hi all, I have 2 servers running 1.6.2.9 and I'm about to build a third server. This suggests the possibility of doing a rolling upgrade of all of my servers. This brings up the question of what version to install and upgrade to. I don't have many upgrade opportunities, so I'd like to get as much bang for my buck. Since I've applied some custom patches to my 1.6, I'd

Hi all, I've got a device that seems to become unreachable for about 2 minutes, every hour. From what I can tell, it isn't due to network or server issues. Any ideas? TIA. -- Mike Diehl Diehlnet Communications, LLC. Voice: (505) 903-5700 Fax: (505) 903-5701

Hello, I've got my dialplan configured to do a double ring when a customer service call comes in, and a normal ring when an extension is dialed directly. When a customer service call is transferred, I want to ring to revert back to normal. In the local extension macro, I have the following ; make sure ring is set to default exten => s,n,NoOp(${ALERT_INFO}) exten =>

Hi all. I could have sworn this working at one time... But it doesn't look like any of the functions provided by features.so is working for me. (one-touch monitoring, attended/blind transfer, etc) I've (re)loaded features.so, as well as bridge_builtin_features.so. The config file looks sane. What else should I try? TIA, -- Take care and have fun, Mike Diehl.

Idle curiosity: I like the look and feel of the Grandstreams, but it's been my experience that the speakerphones suck (esp. when compared to the pretty damn flawless Polycoms). I've used the BT-100/101 and GS-2000; have any of their newer models changed that?

Hi all, Does anyone have any good/bad comments on the A1200P 12-port fxo/fxs card from OpenVox? I'll be using one to with 8-12 fxo interfaces.? The cards will be plugging into a cable-modem / phone adapter.? We weren't able to port the numbers, so we're going to use the existing PSTN connection and replace all of the office phones. With these short distances, will I need to worry

Would someone be able to give an example of a working use of setvar from chan_dahdi.conf? I am trying to create a custom variable like I use in sip.conf but I have been completely unsuccessful getting any variable set using setvar to appear for a DAHDI channel. I am running 1.8.11-cert8 and am using the newer format (but I have tried using the older [channels] format). Here is an example:

I had lines 3 and 4 and added line 1 and 2 to extensions.conf exten => 106,1,SetVar(CALLFILENAME=${TIMESTAMP}_${CALLERID(num)}) exten => 106,2,Monitor(wav,${CALLFILENAME},m) exten => 106,3,hint,SIP/106 exten => 106,4,Macro(stdexten,106,${HINT}) I received this warning: WARNING[31463]: pbx.c:1832 pbx_extension_helper: No application 'SetVar' for extension

Hello, I have a couple of 7960 and a quad T1 card on my asterisk box. I want to let the phones to use g729 when they "talk" to each other, but to use g711 when I'm going to route the call out of my network using the T1 card. Everything works just fine between the phones, but in order to be able to make calls through T1 I have to disallow the g729. For this purpose I have the

I am trying to have the ring types different for internal and external incoming calls. I have followed the guide on the wiki, the SetVar executes, in extensions.conf I have it as s,1, Yet it doesn't work? When the phone rings, the ring type is the one I chose on the phone, it rings same tone for both when I test. Using Asterisk Stable. Anyone got this working and can
