[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Users Mailing List Traffic
The volume/traffic on this list has been getting pretty heavy. I find it hard to follow certain discussions and there are some that I am not interested in. Perhaps, we could split the list into two: One for discussing hardware (client phones and cards) and one for the software (configuration, problems, etc...) Or some other better scheme that someone can propose.
Why not shove all the ENDLESS discussions on Cisco, Polycom, Snom, and other problem phones to their own list?

This would lend its self to less repitition of questions as the lists would be much more searchable .... At this time I 3 months of this list and it is over 13,900 messages. In other words GREAT IDEA I THIRD THAT!! I do think all hardware disscussion ( as it effects Asterisk) should be grouped togeather. As it is not always the exact same problem that is what helps to fix your problem ...

Then, each piece of hardware can have its own category, along with an FAQ.

A forum might be okay if you have a nice fast web connection and/or a bit of patience, and if you only subscribe to the one list. I subscribe to quite a few lists these days and the mere thought of having to go and visit a web site for each one to read them almost brings tears to my eyes :) That being said, a mailing list with a forum interface (or a forum with a mailing list option) might be a reasonable compromise as it should meet the needs of both mailing list lovers and forum lovers (assuming it is implemented properly!)

Except, for some reason it often misses the first message of the conversation (especially if I'm the one who started it), and because a few users on the list have fscked up time zones, messages sometimes appear in the wrong order. I'm sure these minor issues can be worked out (maybe I should be looking at a different date to sort by?), they've just never bothered me enough to try. If you know how to work around them I'd love hear from you!!!> It then groups the messages by thread in date order, so you can sort > through the emails very quickly and allows you to switch digest off.Even with the above shortcomings, it is my preferred way to read my mailing lists too.

[Asterisk-Users] Phones were working fine - Now there is no audio when calling between extensions
Hey group,
I have a Polycom 501 and a 301 together in my office. Each phone is
registered to a different server. When I call one of the phones from the
other, the other phone rings no problem (the calls are passed between
servers via IAX). However, when I answer it, there is absolutely no audio
in either direction. This just started happening today.
It was working great before - I just plugged them in, got them
registered and I was calling between phones no problem. Now I dont know
what is happening and I cannot figure it out. It seems like a NAT issue,
but I have qualify=yes, nat=yes and insecure=port,invite.
- Gabe
That's sorta a double edged sword. I don't mind getting all the messages in one list myself cause oftentimes I'll go through and find something worth replying to from all facets, but it'd be a bit more of an annoyance having to filter through several lists to find the good stuff to reply to. Guess it really just depends on how you filter your mail :) Aaron On Mon, 20 Mar 2006, Ira wrote:> At 07:07 AM 03/20/2006, you wrote: >> I've been involved in projects with >> eighty mailing lists to cover every facet of the project to try and keep >> traffic down and it Simply Does Not Work.

Are you using which version of Asterisk?? Did you check if you are facing the old audio bug on bridge calls that appeared ? http://asteriskvoip.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_asteriskvoip_archive.html Wednesday, January 25, 2006 Update: No audio - Update your Asterisk This morning we discovered a serious bug that stopped all bridged audio in our Asterisk servers. Mark found the problem and soon fixed it. If you get this problem today, please update your Asterisk server. A fix has been commited to the subversion repository for 1.2 as well as trunk. A fixed 1.2.3 release will be published on ftp.digium.com as soon as we can find a release engineer (consider the time zone problem). A big thank you to everyone in the IRC channel that helped us locate this issue and to Mark that fixed it so quickly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope it helps.

The reason I say they are not the best is because they have no ability to connect to a STUN server and they have no keep-alive mechanism for NAT. At VON, I was talking to a company called Ranch Networks who said they have a device that will solve NAT traversal issues with Asterisk and its phones. Here is a link to their product: http://www.ranchnetworks.com/pdfs/RN40_41_brief.pdf I am talking to them now to see exactly what this thing does. - Gabe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Marcus" <CMarcus@Media-Brokers.com> To: "Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion" <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 4:43 AM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Phones were working fine - Now there isnoaudiowhen calling between extensions>C F wrote: >> Polycoms are not the best if you want a phone that works behind NAT. > > Do you mean in general?
