It would be nice if Digium updated the hardware compatibility list on asteriskpbx.org to indicate that the LineJACK can't be used for dialing out. I've seen several people on IRC be burned by not knowing this. --Eric -- BTEL Consulting 850-484-4535 x2111 (Office) 504-595-3916 x2111 (Experimental) 877-552-0838 (Backup Phone)

As I understand it (and my understanding is obviously incorrect) the switch => statement sells the Asterisk box to resolve (aka lookup) extensions by querying the remote Asterisk server defined in the switch => statement. The switch => statement is used to centralize dialplans. I've not used the switch => statement yet, I'm just trying to understand the ramifications of using

I added the playback line to my [macro-stdexten] context but when I dail an extension I don't get the "please hold while I try that extension" message. It just dials the extexsion. Do I have a syntax problem somewhere ? exten => 8005,1,Macro(stdexten,8005,Zap/2) exten => 8006,1,Macro(stdexten,8006,Sip/8006) [macro-stdexten] ; ; Standard extension macro: ; ${ARG1} -

I get the following message when I dial 74#. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going on? If I don't require numbers to be terminated with # everything works as expected, but you have to wait for the digit timeout, of course.

Licensing info for the G723.1 codec, direct from the holding company that licenses the codec. http://www.dspg.com/technology/LicensePricing.html As you can see they want a LOT of money. This is why I doubt there will ever be G.723.1 codec available fro Asterisk. -- BTEL Consulting 850-484-4535 x2111 (Office) 504-595-3916 x2111 (Experimental) 877-552-0838 (Backup Phone)

Is there any way on the iaxtel.com web site to see if my asterisk is registering and what 700 number is associated with my iaxtel account? I registered many months ago but never used it. My asterisk shows registered, but I can't seem to receive any calls (callers get a the user is not registered message) -- BTEL Consulting 850-484-4535 x2111 (Office) 504-595-3916 x2111 (Experimental)

I replied to a post of mine a few days ago asking of anyone uses mailboxexists(). I haven't received any replies. Perhaps few use it or perhaps the reply was overlooked. I thought I'd post the question one last time before giving up on it for now... Thanks! -Michael

I received a message from Packet8 last night telling me they added some new area codes. I took a look at their new area code/rate center finder page and it looks like the added a LOT of new area codes. They now have phone numbers available in almost every state. The URL for finding out which area codes and rate centers are available with Packet8 is at http://www.packet8.net/about/areacodes.asp

hello, I have a test setup with 2 asterisk servers, each having a one snom 100 via sip using it. I`m experimenting on how trunking between them would work. I have them setup for RSA authentication which I plan to use in the future. So I`ve setup the keys and servers seem authenticate to each other. One is named phila and other hurricane. Here is what I see on phila: -- Registered

Hi Can anyone with distinctive ring on their 7960's possibly post how they've got it to work? I understand that the ALERT_INFO variable is involved but using the examples for the variable value from the WiKi I'm just getting an error message from the Asterisk concole. Thanks in advance. P

I have Spandsp working fine. Asterisk sees a fax on the zap port and redirects the call to the fax-in area. This works if I have a simple dialing rules that goes answers first and waits 10 secs then goes to the next item. If it hears a fax it goes to the right place. Here is a sample that works. [incoming] exten => 2019,1,Goto(test,s,1) [test] exten => s,1,answer exten => s,2,wait(5)

I'm trying to set up my extensions.conf file using some of the existing macros like stdexten, etc. while at the same time having two logically separate virtual PBX's (with no "default" context) and two trunks coming into separate contexts, i.e. one for residence and one for my at-home business. I noticed, however, that macro-stdexten depends on the "default" context:

Hi all, I am trying to understand how I can get a simple IVR scenario to work properly (having already removed most of my hair...). The basic requirement is as follows: * Caller arrives at our main number * Caller is greeted and then told they can enter an extension number, if known, or wait and their call will be connected to an available rep. * The IVR then dials a group of extensions (if

Hi, I'm using asterisk 1.2.1 on a debian sarge distro. I've followed notes in http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Polycom+auto-answer+config and http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=OptiPoint+600+SIP+-+Distictive+ring+using+ALERT_INFO but I still cannot change ring style via asterisk using exten => 666,1,SipAddHeader(ALERT_INFO="ring3") in extensions.conf . Is it

Hi All I am trying to simplify a dialplan for a few thousand users. Would what I have below work? If someone dials exten 710001 would it go through answer and then to the macro to try dialing the SIP phone thats registered on 710001 and then onto voicemail if no answer or not signed on? exten => 71XXXX,1,Answer() exten => 71XXXX,2,Macro(71macro,${EXTEN}) exten => 71XXXX,3,Hangup()

I am looking for clues on how to configure distinctive ring for a PolyCom SoundPoint 300. Does ALERT_INFO apply? If so, how? Thanks, David Koski david.nospham@kosmosisland.com

Dear All I have a problem with a TDM400 card with 4 x FXS modules. The card carries extensions only and there are no incoming lines. I can make a call to the extension on this card with no problems. However, when I try and call out I just get a busy signal. I also get an error message (as shown at the bottom). Is this a problem? Configs below: [root at asterisk etc]# more zaptel.conf

I am integrating a new server (Asterisk 1.8.2.3, DAHDI 2.4.0) with VOIP only trunks, and this server only has soft phones. When I dial an extension and the phone is not registered, I don't get any ring or progress indications, and eventually the Dial() times out and drops into voicemail (as expected). CLI output: -- Executing [s at macro-StdExten:6] Dial("IAX2/barneveld-2036",

Greetings, I am trying to implement distinctive ringing on a Cisco 7960. I have tried setting alert_info to chirp1 or chirp2 before dialing the phone, but it has no affect. If you have successfully implemented distinctive ringing on a 7960, I would really appreciate seeing the snipit of code that works.
