similar to: SIP and music on hold

Thanks to everyone that responded to my channel bank question. Ive decided that the Adit 600 would be a good choice. Then I got to thinking about SIP phones and wondered if their quality has progressed to the point that they can be deployed to customers who "just want their phones to work" and wouldn't tolerate any SIP hickups. As for pricing, I would think the SIP phones would

Hello: I have read that music on hold requires a timing source (which I never had to worry about previously since the server had zaptel hardware in it)...now I'm configuring a server in a colo which has no zaptel hardware. If I use the dialplan to run MusicOnHold(), I do get the music upon dialling that extension, but if I try to use the hold button on either a 7960 or X-Lite I get

Hello, I'm new to Asterisk and would like to know SIP support status. Are there any testing been done with some widely deployed client (Cisco SIP IP phone, ...)? I was using Vocal but I'm now interested in Asterisk as it seems to offer more features...if it supports SIP. Thanks for your help. Francois.

I have a modem on a port of a channel bank dialing out a FXO port to the PSTN. It wont train at any speed. If I put another modem on a another port of the channel bank, it will connect to it, but at @31Kb. Anybody try this and have it work ?

Ok, this falls under the newbie category: Has anybody created any documentation on using musiconhold or call parking? I have found sample config files for musiconhold, but I'm not sure how they work. [musiconhold.conf] [classes] loud=>mp3:/var/lib/asteriks/mohmp3 How do I then set up this feature in extensions.conf? I can't seem to find an example of what I'm looking for (or I

Has anyone had problems with using hold on a 7960 SIP firmware? The problem is when the 7960 puts a call on hold and you take it off hold again, the 7960 outbound audio is delayed on the other end. Sometimes up to a few seconds. I've tried a couple different things, making the "other end" a diff type of trunk ie: 7960sip --> asterisk --> IAX2 --> PRI 7960sip -->

I have a channelized T1 coming in from our telco, terminated onto a TE405. There are three channelbanks serving internal analog extensions, and about 10 Cisco 7960s. I have no reports of echo on the analog extensions (as expected). The 7960 users complain of occasional echo (seems like 1 in 5 calls). Only the SIP user hears the echo, not the caller. I have echocancel=yes, echotraining=yes,

This is probably going to sound really silly and I must be confused about it. Maybe someone can set me straight. I've been tinkering for a while with * and a number of different FXO/FXS cards, SIP phones, and ATAs trying to get a feel for what works and what doesn't. In the SIP phone group, I have a Cisco 7940G, a Polycom 500, and now an SPA-841. Each of these allow me to configure at

Hello, I've been racking my brain over this for much of the day so I thought the list would probably be more helpful. A few days ago I upgraded from Asterisk 1.2 to Asterisk 1.4.5. Everything appeared to be working properly. However, on the first business day, we realized that when transferring calls (not using call parking, using the built in transfer buttons on a Cisco 7960) would not

Hi All, I have what IMHO is an interesting issue. I'm using Cisco 7940's with the 7.2 SIP load and Asterisk CVS-HEAD-09/10/04-10:11:46. Everything is working great so far, except one small issue. When a user presses the 'Trnsfer' soft-key, dials the other extension, and presses 'Trnsfer' again, before the other party picks up, hold music for the original caller

I can't seem to get music on hold working, it tries to work, but I just hear strange noises on the extension.. Here is some debug info. Looks like mpg123 starts fine, but I hear nothing. I'm on todays CVS build. -- Executing Answer("SIP/2203-062c", "") in new stack -- Executing MusicOnHold("SIP/2203-062c", "default") in new stack --

Hey Everyone, I am playing around with my * box, and I have a few different phones hanging off it it right now. I have a Cisco 7960 capable of g729, ulaw and alaw, I have a Cisco ATA186 with a Panasonic cordless phone attached to it, I have a Digum IAXy with a dumb analog phone attached to it, and I have a Linksys PAP2-NA with an AT&T 959 analog phone attached to it. I also have several

Hi all, I've a Planet VIP-150T VoIP Hardphone connected to Asterisk. When I'm in a call and i press Hold button, the other party starts listening Music on Hold but then when i press the button again to get the call back it doesn't work! I've checked asterisk CLI: -- Stopped music on hold on Zap/1-1 -- Started music on hold, class 'default', on Zap/1-1 --

Does anyone know how to maximize music on hold quality on calls inbound from PSTN? I know that it is common to have choppy and static sounding music on hold when connecting via PSTN but how can that be minimized? I assume that the bitrates, type of music, etc can minimize the effects. Does anyone have any experience in this area? Do you know where I should look for more information?

It seems that each time I get a new checkout of * from CVS my Cisco 7960 works worse than before. I know this stuff's in flux, so I mention this in case it's news. Anyone else having trouble? What I'm seeing (er, hearing) is really choppy audio. The previous version I had installed had fairly frequent audio dropouts (not present when I make the same calls through the same * box

Hello, I am trying to solve a problem that I can foresee when I deploy Asterisk into a few SOHO situations soon. In Nebraska and in my area of Western Pennsylvania we have violent thunderstorms in spring and summer and sometimes very heavy wet snow in Winter. Both type of event will take out the power of a period of 30sec to 36-hours. So no UPS system would be able to handle a system for over

Hi All, Just installed our very first asterisk system, and we love it! I cant believe the different things you can do with it, just great =] My question is: How do I configure my system to play an mp3 file when a caller gets put on hold? Thanks in advance, Steve.

Hey all...I'm brand new to * and I want to convert my home into a pbx type setup. I've figured out that I want a Wildcard X100P to bring my single POTS CO into my Linux box. My problem is that I'm sure sure what I need to do to get my analog phones connected up into a structured phone system. It *looks* like I can go the route of the Cisco Analog -> VOIP for about $100 on ebay.
