similar to: SIP call transfers - any other way than using '#' ?

A caller to me was this afternoon detected as a fax machine: Jan 15 15:31:17 NOTICE[41997]: File chan_zap.c, Line 3564 (zt_read): Fax detected, but no fax extension ... and then redirected to voicemail. An extract from extensions.conf is attached below. Is there any way to stop * even considering an incoming call on a line as a fax call? Iain bell] include => mailboxes include

This is what I'm doing it gets you both sides of the phone call...small size...and playable on windows through a share. My notes: On redhat 9 I have to run the following command for asterisk to start LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 asterisk -vvvvgc [macro-record-on] exten => s,1,SetVar(CALLFILENAME=${TIMESTAMP}-${ARG2}-${ARG1}) exten => s,2,Monitor(wav,${CALLFILENAME}) ;exten =>

I got this today trying to place a call through FWD: SIP/2.0 407 Proxy Authentication Required Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 217.11.11.1:5060;branch=z9hG4bK230f856c From: "Iain" <sip:12345@fwd.pulver.com>;tag=as6eaa85fb To: <sip:10001@fwd.pulver.com>;tag=b27e1a1d33761e85846fc98f5f3a7e58.3701 I didn't used to have any trouble with FWD and * is registering with FWD OK. Has

Has anyone used Gastman/Astman successfully? I have it up and running (Gastman win32), but have a problem with the creation of end stations on the map. I'm not sure of the format of the extension to use when creating a end station icon. Services like Conference bridge and Musichonhold seem to work ok (I use 555@mainmenu and 666@mainmenu) for the Icon extensions. IAX softphone seems to work

Hi list, I've got Samba 2.0.6 running on Yellow Dog Linux with a 2.2.14 kernel. When I start the PC, it displays the login screen (I have 3 user profiles) and I enter the username and login domain (ie the one operated by Samba). I get an error message stating that the domain login server can't be found. If I then cancel the login, go to the start menu and log off, then login there is

I've just noticed that if you start a call by writing a file to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing the cdr created on termination logs the call placed to the local extension - not to the destination in the PSTN. Hence there is no record of the PSTN number dialled. I guess most people want to log the outgoing portion not the local call leg? Anyone know of a setting that changes this? Iain

Here's a patch that changes the behaviour of # transfers in asterisk. A single # is transferred to the remote phone/system. Two # in quick succession will trigger a transfer. This is very useful for users who have basic analogue phones connected to an ATA 186. For example, when calling a remote conference or IVR system you often want a single # to be sent to the remote system - not to

Dear All, I have a requirement to 'originate' a number of calls to various external users from within a conference room, so that the end users does not pay for the call. I know that within Astman I can define an extension and then originate the call from that extension. Can I define a conference room (how would I configure that on astman? What channel would it use?) and then generate a

I have a problem that sometimes lines will go into what I call never never land. The Asterisk system will put a line with <Zombi> on it when you type show channels it will make the analog phone line dead. And on the CLI it says: astsvr*CLI>Zap/1-2<ZOMBIE>(macro-twoline-exten,s,1)Up Dial Zap/1-2|20|r I have tried to release it with soft hangup Zap/1 & also soft hangup

I've just had the most appalling performance from * ever. Dialling: Cisco 7960 => asterisk => IAX produces sound drop outs so extreme that the call is useless. I noted this in an earlier post. Dialling: Cisco ATA186 => asterisk => IAX is fine. Frankly, I think this is such a bad problem that it should be sorted in advance of any of the new features that seem to be

Hello, I was using the doublehash.patch that Iain Stevenson had created back in August to change the transfer key from a single hash "#" to a double-hash "#". It always patches properly, but when I went from CVS 2004-01-12 to Asterisk 0.7.1 it doesn't seem to work anymore. I've attached the patch to this email and I use the following command to patch it: patch -p1

I've just noticed that since swapping from the direct mysql cdr driver to cdr_odbc, the call duration (and anything else that's an integer) isn't logged - anyone else seen this and know the reason. The cdr_odbc driver gives no error messages and records any string based fields correctly. Iain

I have been testing Gastman and Astman with SIP calls. As I have no Zap phones, so I have a few question on what is normal behavior? When a call comes in and I have created extensions for all phones (example: Channel = "SIP\3846") Should the little lines connect between the pre-made extension or should they pop up temporary icons with no connection to the hand made extensions? The

I've set up * as a gateway to Free World Dialup. The called number appears not to be logged either in the Master.csv file or to MySQL - do I need to set an option? Iain

Listening to the options on the voicemail system it seems to be missing a feature for users to turn voicemail off completely. This seems a rather glaring omission. Does the feature of turning off message recording via the phone exist - or does it need a patch? Iain

Hi Everyone ;) I have posted something like this before but yeilded no solid help as of yet. I am new to * and havent even setup a box for it yet as to I have no clue what I should go ahead and buy before wasting a few $k. Im looking to setup * for my office with outbound calling only with some call agents, and also remote agents so they can work from home. At this time im not looking to

Folks, I love Asterisk, have been using it for a while now. I'd like to know if anyone has some good comparison points on Asterisk vs. Vocal (Vovida) vs. GNU Bayonne. I know only a little about the later two. Also, one drawback I've hard about Asterisk (not for me, but for general consumption/deployment) is easy of configuration -- people like GUIs. They want point-n-click. I'm a

I've been tinkering with ENUM and found that the lack of a debug message in enum.c that says it has actually succeeded in resolving an address is a bit of a nuisance. It makes it difficult to see if failures with ENUM are due to problems with parsing NAPTR records (in enum.c) or mistakes in extensions.conf An extra line of debug information would be much appreciated! Iain

Good day, I want to have Asterisk as my gateway to the outside world and use another PBX to connect my existing phones. How do I specify the dial string to forward the original Caller ID to over the ISDN to the second PBX? Right now, my extensions.conf looks like this: exten => ${OUTSIDEMSN},1,Dial,CAPI/${MSN2NDPBX}:${EXTEN} How do I transfer the caller Id information initially coming

Does anyone configure that or is that possible ? Thanks in advance -- Best regards Vlad
