Hi, I have been trying to figure out why the S100U is not performing very well on RH9.. Here is my thinking..( may be totally wide of the mark but here goes anyway) I remember reading somwhere that the sound system used by RH has changed... Does the S100U not depend on the sound subsystem?? So what I think is that the sound subsystem in RH9 and the S100U are not happy working together.. Does

Hi.. How do you accept user input while waiting or playing moh? My Dialplan is as follows.. ring,ring,.. Hello thanks for calling blah blah... Please enter the extention number blah blah... WaitMusicOnHold(10) If no input pass call to operator.. The problem is that the user has to input the extension while they are being told what to do.. any input during Wait or WaitMusicOnHold is ignored...

Hi, What is the correct chan_capi dial syntax?? This is what I think it is.. exten => _90.,1,Dial(CAPI/[msn here]:${EXTEN:1}) This seems to work for local numbers.. but I have an access number for cheap long distance calls.. wich gets dialed and then the number I want to call is sent as DTMF after a few waits (w).. On my X100P I used the following.. exten => _9001.,1,Dial(Zap/1/[access

Hi, Has anyone worked out a way to use Asterisk in a Hot Desk environment?? I have not been able to think of a way for the user to have control over which IP phone will ring when that users extension is dialed without the user needing to reconfigure the phone.. Something like this would be cool.. User dials *8555 (or similar) and is prompted to enter their extension and then password, after

I am going to try and use a passive AVM fritz BRI card for my * setup.. Here is the thing.. I need to order my BRI from BT.. The service that looks to be the one to use is what they call ISDN 2e becasue this has the option to setup hunt groups across multiple ISDN2e lines so I could add another line later to get 4 channels.. According to the BT website in order to use the hunt grouping across

My system seems to be generating a call on its own... Unfortuately I can't give much more information.. I have an X100P and an S100U.. My Modem and the X100P share a common line.. When I am on the internet (which is most of the day) * just sits there and does nothing (apart from when I am testing ideas for the dial plan), but at night when I am sleeping and the modem is not connected then

I thought I would give RedHat 9 a try with Asterisk..I thought it would be a good idea to use the latest version.. Zaptel, Zapata and Libpri all appear to have compiled sucessfully.. But.. (Why is there always a but??) It seems Asterisk is having issues with 'termcap' or 'tgetent' whatever that is.. Here is the output from 'make install'.. --------Start-------- if [ -d

Hi, Quick question to all the electronics gurus out there.. I unpacked my second GS phone yesterday (had it for about a month!) and set it up.. This morning the power supply is dead.. I have looked for a new one online (In the UK using Maplin let me know if you know a better place.) becasue it would probbaly take too long to get one sent from China or the US and I need to get that station

Hi, I have just been playing with the latest X-Lite.. It works fine with Asterisk.. As for codecs I tested G.711a/u, GSM and iLBC... iLBC is the only one that didn't work.. not sure why.. But the bigger problem is that when I call another extension that is using a Snom200 the call connects but there is no audio in either direction.. I have tried G.711a/u and GSM and while X-Lite shows that

Hi, I am running Redhat, I loaded the mysql and mysql-devel RPM's and then recompiled *.. I thought it would be that simple but it looks like I have missed something becasue it doesn't look like the module has been complied.. What did I leave out? -- ______________________________________________ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr Powered by
