asterisk users - Jun 2005 - IVR Load

Hi,

Thinking about an IVR application and trying to get a handle on the best 
way to structure it so that the maximum number of concurrent calls can 
be achieved..

If the voice prompts were stored in a GSM format and were being played 
out through an IAX trunk that uses GSM compression would asterisk do a 
decompress/compress on the audio or would it simply pass through the GSM 
encoding?
Obviously if I could eliminate the decompress/compress activity is would 
make the server far more scalable..

Thanks..

Dear All,

I was trying to enable call forwarding, following the steps of the link on
voip.org regarding this issue it doesn't work and the phone I am trying to
implement on is still ringing. below is my conf in extensions.conf and the
CLI output during the process.

My configuration is :

exten => _*5X.,1,DBput(CF/${CALLERIDNUM}=${EXTEN:2})
exten => _*5X.,2,Hangup

exten => *5,1,DBdel(CF/${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => *5,2,Hangup

[macro-stdexten]
;
; Standard extension macro (with call forwarding):
; ${ARG1} - Extension(we could have used ${MACRO_EXTEN} here as well
; ${ARG2} - Device(s) to ring
;
exten => s,1,DBget(temp=CF/${ARG1})
exten => s,2,Goto(${temp}|1)
exten => s,102,Goto(s|3)
exten => s,3,Dial(${ARG2},120)
exten => s,103,Goto(s|50)
exten => s,4,Voicemail(u${ARG1})
exten => s,5,Hangup
exten => s,104,Voicemail(b${ARG1}) ; busy
exten => s,105,Hangup

the output on the CLI during this process was:

*CLI>
    -- Executing DBdel("SIP/777-a77c", "CF/777") in new
stack
    -- DBdel: family=CF, key=777
Urgent handler
    -- Executing Hangup("SIP/777-a77c", "") in new stack
Urgent handler
    -- Executing DBput("SIP/777-ad46", "CF/777=888") in new
stack
    -- DBput: family=CF, key=777, value=888
Urgent handler
    -- Executing Hangup("SIP/777-ad46", "") in new stack
Urgent handler

*CLI>
*CLI>
    -- Executing Dial("SIP/999-8f50", "SIP/777|7|tr") in new
stack
    -- Called 777
Urgent handler
Urgent handler
    -- SIP/777-82e9 is ringing
Urgent handler

Any Idea what's wrong

Excuse me, but how is "I was trying to enable call forwarding" related
to the topic "IVR Load"?

Anyway, if your calls are in GSM then having your menu files in GSM is
optimal. Use the same format and no transcoding will be necessary,
hence it will be less CPU intensive.
