I've got a need to do something like the following: [foo-context] exten => _.,1,SetCIDNum(123) exten => _.,2,SetCIDName(XYZ) include => local include => tollfree But of course, this example won't work. The goal here is this: if a call ends up being handled by the "local" or "tollfree" contexts, I want those SetCID*** commands executed. Otherwise, I

I have a need to (nightly) synchronize the contents of some shares between a Samba server and a Windows 2000 server. Ideally, the utility that does this would support all the Windows/CIFS file information, like ACLs, attributes, etc. We have about 100G to synchronize, but obviously once it's done the first time the daily changes won't be anywhere near that large... I've thought

Hey all, I've setup * to serve the needs of our small helpdesk and I'm looking to expand. We're planning on doing support for different companies, each one identified by a different 1-800 number that terminates at our PBX. What I would like to know is: is there a variable I can read to determine what number any given caller dialed? I'd like to be able to separate calls based on

OK, I spent a bunch of time reviewing the mailing list from the last month, and I see where this was discussed quite a bit, but there was no conclusive resolution found (that I could find anyway). I have a simple network: one machine running W2K3 Standard Edition, with AD active and in W2K compatibility mode, one machine running Linux with Samba 3.0.0/3.0.1, a number of W2K and WXP Pro

For those that are interested, here is my report back to Sayson on the 480i ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 31 Jul 2004 22:03:31 -0400 (EDT) From: xxx@bgcfreedom.com To: xxx@sayson.com Subject: 480i User Feedback With Asterisk Seshu, I am using a 480i, and I am impressed with the phone on a whole, but obviously the firmware is lacking. Details follow. Hold button works, but

I'm trying to spec out hardware for a new office, and I'd like to include power over Ethernet as an option. I've seen a handful of PoE injectors around $1000 for 24 ports and a couple switches up around $2500 for 24 ports. Are there any cheaper options, short of buying a boatload of 1-port injectors off of ebay? I don't really need more then 24 ports of PoE out of 48 total

http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+IAX+authentication After struggling to understand IAX2 inbound authentication, I figured I'd document what I learned so others can benefit :-) All comments welcome, especially if I misunderstood or improperly explained anything.

For those who don't watch asterisk-cvs, it appears that markster has begun (and possibly) completed adding GR-303 FXS support to Asterisk. This means that Asterisk could be used as an "access concentrator" off of a class 5 switch, which gives us a higher-level alternative between using single PRIs and going all the way to SS7. I for one am very interested in pursuing this option

We spent some time yesterday trying to understand how IAX2 authentication works, and now I'm confused... Let's say that the receiving end has this entry in their iax.conf file: [remote-site] type=user secret=foo auth=md5 context=incoming host=dynamic The way I see it, there are two ways to initiate an outbound IAX2 connection to this system: 1) Use Dial, as in:

I have a client who is looking at replacing their PBX, and I'm interested in putting together an Asterisk solution for them. One feature that would really, really get their attention is if I could do the "Vonage" thing, where if a PSTN caller dials a direct extension (coming in over PRI) both the user's deskset _and_ an external number (their cell phone) would ring, with

I have an asterisk server up and running, using Firefly in IAX mode works great, even with Firefly behind a NAT (as expected, since IAX works really well with NAT). Now I'm trying to get X-Lite and/or Firefly to work in SIP mode from behind the NAT, and I can't seem to get there. At this point, the phone will successfully register with Asterisk, and the Asterisk qualify messages get

I'm nearly finished setting up a new Samba server in a Win2000 ADS domain. So far, things have been going quite well, the combination of Samba 3.0.0rc4 (with winbindd), krb5 1.3.1, CUPS 1.1.19, etc. has performed admirably and was easy to configure. I have only three issues to mention: - the HOWTO collection, in the section talking about joining an ADS domain as a member server, does not
