similar to: Example of the Transfer application?

I really should be doing something better on this beautiful weekend, but I'm trying to save myself some time for later projects by documenting some things that have been particularly troublesome in the past. That being said... I've written up a configuration guide for the Cisco ATA-186, which describes some of the features that are possible to set in the ATA and specifically what

As has been noted before on this list, the Wait() application does not listen for keystrokes from users. Many of you, like me, have looping Background(), Wait(), and Goto() application priority chains that prompt users to enter some data, and then repeat the instructions if no keys are pressed. The problem of course is if the user doesn't start pressing keys during the Background() call

Does * support ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) - 2B Transfer Capability for T-1/PRI? In other words the ability to take a call and join it to another call and then drop off letting the CO-switch take over. -Kevin Kevin Fjelsted, President AltiCom CTI, Inc. Track Me Down!

John, I spoke with Level(3) last week regarding SIP termination. They quoted $0.01/minute, with an 11 Million Minute / Month minimum.

Comments? Feature request: Add the ability for the "T" and "t" suffixes in a Dial command to call an extension directly (if specified) instead of going only to the hardcoded "transfer" command. Feature request: Flash events, when presented inside of an existing call, will call a pre-specified extension just like the "T" and "t" request

I seem to be having a conceptual problem with the "While" and "EndWhile" applications. It seems that on the first cycle, even if the result of the "While" is false that the enclosed applications will get run. Is this expected? It seems to be counter-intuitive, but I don't know what the intent of the While routines is. I could of course put a

Hi, There is any simple way to have external access to the Asterisk database? I want to be able to edit a specific family only, which is a phonebook. Thanks, Dan

Sipura does include STUN as an option. It has for quite some time. We are using it with all of our Sipuras behind NAT'd gateways and it works great! Try upgrading to the latest Sipura firmware rev.

Hi, I've had a search through the archives and didn't find much. Is anyone using the Monitor application? I have it working but there is a really big drawback. The files are always called the same thing, which means if I make 2 calls one after the other the first recording is lost. I half expected Monitor to use something like ZAP-2-1-<yyyymmddhhmmss>-in/out.wav for it's

Every half year or so, I probably will repost this list, adding and subtracting as the community makes advances (or ignores what isn't required.) >Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2003 04:51:23 -0400 >To: asterisk-users-lists.digium.com >From: John Todd <jtodd@loligo.com> >Subject: Sasquatch, the Loch Ness Monster, UFOs and... > >Mythical Asterisk Creatures, oft-discussed, rarely

I'm wondering if there is any command-line interface available for working with values stored in astdb. Of course, I can run "asterisk -rx "database show" " or other commands like that, but I was hoping for a local command that would allow manipulation or output in some other form. Is astdb in a standard db format? JT

This is a fairly large list of hardware phones, features, and URLs, with some vendors I've never heard of before on it. I suspect that any phone that doesn't explicitly say "SIP" is an H.323 phone. http://www.tmcnet.com/it/0403/0403sg.htm#sidebar2 JT

I have several phones running Cisco's 6.0 SIP software release at this time. Two of the phones have not shown any abnormal behaviors, but one of them has an unsettling propensity to lock up after several hours, where the softkey labels disappear and the phone stops registering, requiring the standard *-6-settings reboot sequence. Otherwise, the phone seems to work OK except for a slight

This is not specifically Asterisk-related, but I think that sometimes a "pre-emptive" clue is a good thing. Viking Electronics (http://www.vikingelectronics.com/) has some neat widgets that attach to phone lines, which I'm sure many of the people on this list would find at least somewhat useful in conjunction with their Asterisk systems. Many of the widgets can be replaced with

I ran across this URL the other day: http://www.advancedvoip.com/ It seems that they have a low-priced solution for billing, which seems to have some interesting features (at least, via the canned demo they provide.) It handles CDRs and also (sorry, Jeremy) Radius, and seems to have a lot of features. I'll be calling them later today to discuss their product, if only out of curiosity

http://www.boingboing.net/2006/06/05/play_zork_by_phone.html Let me preface this idea with one comment: I don't have the time to do this - I don't even have time to eat these days. But someone out there has the cycles to do this... and it would be very cool. OK, so now Zork is attached to Asterisk, but using the less-than-clear Festival engine. There are beta tests of the LumenVox

http://www.loligo.com/asterisk/misc/Presentations/Asterisk-features-20040106.xls I had been asked a while ago to put together a short Excel spreadsheet listing many of the "common" features of Asterisk as compared to a typical PBX. Many PBX vendors supply an exhaustive list of their features, and I figured I'd take as many of the unique features as others had offered, and put

Interesting notes on the 79xx series. The 7920 is the wireless phone; not mentioned here. For a more complete guide to Cisco's phones, see: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/products_data_sheets_list.html The 7902 is the "very inexpensive" Cisco phone, and it looks like it will be SCCP (Skinny) only.

I know I heard people looking for inexpensive ADSI phones a while back. Can't vouch for these guys, but this looks like a reasonable deal for what perhaps are new phones. No experience with ADSI, myself, but thought I'd pass it along. These folks also carry the Nortel analog units that do intercom and 2-line, as has been discussed in prior threads.

Mark and Ed received word today that the long-awaited RFC for IAX2 has been approved by the IETF, and is now published: http://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc5456.txt Thanks to Ed Guy, Mark Spencer, Brian Capouch, Frank Miller, and Kenny Shumard!
