First of all Merry Christmas.
Second, my first problem with my provider not staying registered with
our server was my fault. We moved our server room and I restarted the
test system and the production system causing them to ping-pong back and
forth registering with our provider causing random problems, they are
both set to register with the same account right now. I shut Asterisk
down on the one and now we don't drop any longer. doh!!!
Last, We are having DTMF problems with our provider (via:talk). Does
anyone have any experience with them and if so can you share it?
via:talk does have a sample sip.conf and extensions.conf file to use but
the dial plan they set up does not require any DTMF so they may never
have tested it. We have tried inband, auto, rfc2833 for our DTMF and
nothing works. I have submitted a ticket with them but the last time I
did that they never responded so that is why I am posting here.
I signed up with another SIP provider for a test account and the DTMF
passes no problem from them so I must conclude there is some setting
that via:talk has that is causing the problem. via:talk will not
confirm this but they must be using Asterisk as all the menus and such
they have feel very Asteriskish. Is there something I can tell via:talk
to try on their end to make this work?
As a side symptem every time our system registers with via:talk it seams
to jump from server to server on their end. They must have some sort of
load balancing going on that is causing that. In the past we could get
the DTMF to pass when we were on the initial server we registered with
but when we got pushed to another server the DTMF would fail till I did
a sip reload or restarted Astersk. Now we get no DTMF ever.
System set up.
