[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Indications

Hi,

 

Just wondering if someone could better explain how the indications.conf file
actually affects Asterisk?

 

I am using a Cisco 7940 from my Asterisk system, and have set in
indications.conf "country=au" thinking that this would make the
dialtones/call progress sound like the familiar Australian tones?

 

However when I call another extension on my system, it still sounds like the
American ring tone. Does the indications perhaps only effect Analog FXS
cards and not SIP phones?

 

Also, when loading the Asterisk configs as shown below, it displays a
message about "Removed default indication country 'au' and at the
end
proceeds to set default indication country to 'au'. the Removed part has
me
thinking it's forgotten all about the particular indications for au?

 

======cut from Asterisk console======
    -- Unregistered indication country 'us'

I see that message also - my guess is/was that this *might* have to do 
with the missing voice prompts for that language/localization. Anyway, 
SIP phones generate their own tones in some situations (e.g. the 
dialtone), so make sure you don't look at the wrong end.

For the benefit of anyone with the same questions or searching the archives,
I've solved my problem to the below.

 

The Cisco 7940 (and other SIP devices) generate their own indication tones
of ring etc., I found by placing an Answer before a dial, then Asterisk will
answer the call and be able to provide indications.conf tones down the line.

 

Eg:

 

exten => 931,1,Answer

exten => 931,2,Dial(SIP/931,20)

exten => 931,3,Voicemail(u931)

exten => 931,102,Voicemail(b931)

exten => 931,103,Hangup

 

Also, I found the ringing tone for Australia included in indications.conf
doesn't sound quite like I expected. I've done a little toying with it,
and
found the following sounds a little bit closer to what you'd expect, but
it's still not quite right:

 

for [au] context in indications.conf

=============================
ring = 400+420/400,0/200,400+420/400,0/2000

 

The original indications has 400+17/400, but I find that sounds more like
two beeps (which could possibly be confused with the Australian
congestion/busy tones).

Hi Steve,

Interesting... I'm not sure! My copy of the original indications.conf had
400+17, and looking at the wiki it's the same there also
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20indications%20defaul
t

I tested 400*17 and it made a difference, but I still think 420+400 sounds
much closer to it... if there's any other Australian users who have
customised the tones and want to try it out let me know what you think or
what tones you're using.

I have just been thinking perhaps the main advantage of letting the SIP
device generate it's own indications is lower bandwidth use, for my setup
this isn't really an issue, and if I can figure out how to directly modify
the tones in the Cisco 7940 I'll have a go at it.

You'll find the Australian tone specs here
