I'm trying to get call parking working with the lighted buttons on the SNOM 200. I have set the 5 buttons to "Park Orbit", for extensions 700-704. Pressing the first button (x700) does park the call. However, the remaining buttons (x701-704) don't allow me to pick up parked calls, or show parking status via the LEDs. I can only pick up parked calling by manually dialing the

Hi, Is it possible to use the hint priority to allow call parking slots to be monitored on (for example) Snom indicator lamps? How do you refer to the slots (i.e., what is the "channel") in the hint? - Mike

Hi all, I currently have an Asterisk test server behind a TZ170 Sonicwall firewall / NAT box, with several DIDs. I've found that inbound IAX2 calls don't work reliably (i.e., I get a busy tone) unless I enable "Use Consistent NAT" in the Sonicwall. This feature is poorly documented by Sonicwall, so I thought I'd pass it along. Has anyone else run into this, or figured

Hi all, One of my users reports frequently hearing echo on her Snom 360 phone, even while talking to other Snom phones (via Asterisk) on the same LAN (i.e., all-digital low-latency connection). I can never reproduce it though, and swapping the phone didn't help. Has anyone else seen "mystery echo" on Snom phones? Any suggestions for debugging? On my own Snom 360, I sometimes

With Asterisk 1.4 I could use commands like: /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "sip notify reboot-snom mjc_home" to reboot a snom phone. Now, with 1.6, when I try that, I get: Unable to find notify type 'reboot-snom' Command 'sip notify reboot-snom mjc_home' failed. Do I need to add some magic to sip_notify.conf? I haven't quite figured out how to make it work. - Mike

Hi all, I'm running 1.6.2.0-rc6, and I'm running into a problem: sometimes the audio vanishes in the middle of listening to an IVR background prompt. This happens with both analog (Digium card) and IAX2 incoming calls. The prompts are stored in ulaw format (and the IAX2 calls use ulaw). The asterisk console claims that the IVR prompts are proceeding in the expected fashion, but I

I've spent the last week or so troubleshooting echo problems at my Wife's business, and I've been able to clear up about 99% of the echo, but there is still a little residual echo that I can't seem to "tweak out". The users describe it as "buzzing or crackling", but what it sounds like to me is a slight echo, but just of one syllable of the word.

Hi, I'm trying to set up a basic FXO <> SIP gateway. That is, I want calls from my SIP phone to simply be dumped onto the POTS line. My (entire) extensions.conf is: [from-sip] exten => _9NXXXXXX,1,Dial(ZAP/1/${EXTEN}) and my zaptel.conf is: fxsks=1 loadzone=us defaultzone=us and my zapata.conf is: context=incoming signalling=fxs_ks echocancel=yes

Does anyone know which signalling protocol works when connecting the output of a NT8B90AL Norstar ATA2 analog terminal adapter to an FXO card? (fxsks, fxsgs, fxsls?) I'm trying to add an Asterisk branch to my Norstar PBX as outlined at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Nortel. - Mike

Hi, Does anyone know how to tell Asterisk to transmit a switchhook flash? I have Asterisk attached to the ATA adapter of my legacy PBX, and some features of the ATA/PBX are supposed to be accessed using an analog telephone's switchhook flash or "link" button. I want to emulate this. - Mike

Has anyone used the programmable buttons on the SNOM 200 with Asterisk call parking? Do they work "nicely" together - i.e., do the LEDs show which parking spots are in use, and does the press-to-park button function work? - Mike

Hi, I'm trying to set up my SNOM 200 with extensions, with different ringtones - but it doesn't seem to work. I've defined two extensions for it in Asterisk and in the SNOM 200 configuration. In the SNOM home>settings>SIP>Lines config page, I have set the ringer for the first extension to "ringer1", and "ringer6" for the second. In

Hi, I updated the firmware in my Snom 360 from 4.3 to version 5.3.6 (and then back to 5.2), but I'm having a weird problem now: After rebooting, I can make one outgoing call successfully. Subsequent calls don't work - the 360 just seems to do nothing after pressing the "OK" button (but I can cancel the call, the phone isn't frozen). The Asterisk console shows the first

I'd like to be able to use my Snom 360 LEDs to view the status of parking slots, so I'm trying to install the "metermaid" patch (http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5779). Can someone help an svn newbie figure out how to install this patch? I've done the following: svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/oej/metermaids cd metermaids make clean make but I get

I find that DTMF does not work reliably if jitterbuffer=on for certain IAX providers. For instance, DTMF tones are missed entirely about half the time when I dial into an exgn.net account. However, it always works fine for an unlimitel.ca account. Someone else has seen this too: http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=6011 Can anyone suggest a workaround (other than jitterbuffer=off)? - Mike

Hi all, I want to link three incoming Bell Canada centrex pstn lines (which currently go to an old norstar pbx) into asterisk. Can anyone suggest the most "painless" (i.e., "just works") way to do this? Has anyone used the D-link DVG-3004S four-port FXO-to-sip adapter, or the twice-as-costly Audiocode MP104-FXO-C3S? I know the Digium TDM400P or Sangoma A200 are options

Hi all, I can't figure out why my TDM400P (with one FXO plugin) won't answer any calls. There are no messages in the Asterisk console when a call is placed to the FXO line from the PSTN. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. The wctdm and zaptel modules are loaded: [root@steerpike asterisk]# lsmod | grep wc wctdm 37952 0 zaptel 189700 1 wctdm

Hi all, I've been testing various codecs to eliminate "choppiness" that I sometimes get on my Asterisk IAX2 <> DSL <> provider (Exgn) connections, and Speex seems to work the best, so far - but Speex seems oddly unpopular. Can anyone share their experiences with Speex (good and bad)? Is anyone using it in a production environment? I like the variable bit rate and

Hi all, I'm having trouble with incoming IAX2 calls on 1.2.7.1 - mostly they work, but sometimes the caller just gets dead air or disconnects. IAX2 debugs show HANGUP and INVALID codes in these cases, rather than a proper RINGING transaction. My firewall is doing NAT, and changing the source port from 4569 to something else - my IAX2 provider suggested this might be a problem. Is it?

Hi all, I'm using 1.2.9.1, with the "metermaid" patches to show parking spot status on Snom BLF lights. I see from http://www.asterisk.org/node/97 that the metermaid code has changed substantially since 1.2.9.1. Is anyone successfully using the "new" metermaid functionality in 1.4.x? I'd like to hear any good/bad experiences before I attempt even a test
