similar to: [A-bit-OT] Power Over Ethernet Discovery process

PoE, or 802.3af, uses a device detection routine to determine if the connected device needs power. The process, in greatly simplified terms, is as follows: 1. Detect link state 2. Send a pulse of a known frequency and intensity over the TX/RX pairs 3. Listen for reflection. 3a. No reflection- provide power 3b. Reflection- no power Devices that comply with 802.3af have filters designed

Hi. I'm working with i4l with asterisk CVS-02/21/03-13:59:12, plus i4l (chan modem i4l *dsp patched* and kernel 2.4.19 patched to disable dtmf). All seems ok (apart some echo issues that seems gone with mec2 aggressive suppressor), but outgoing dtmf doesn't work . or at least I hear the very first part of the dtmf, but then it seems suppressed. here's my modem.conf [interfaces]

Hi. Has anyone provided an easy way to rotate asterisk log files into /var/log/asterisk. I want to do that, because I prefer to have full logging enabled in the debug file and the messages file, but could became pretty big. Same apply for cdr-csv files. I wanted to setup a logrotate rule, but was thinking if I must use a kill -HUP to asterisk. (never tried HUP with asterisk... don't know if

Hi. I'm experiencing that bug with flash on zaptel. That's the problem: Zap/A call Zap/B Zap/B flash transfers to Zap/C Now Zap/A is online with Zap/C Till now all ok... but now if Zap/C wants to transfer again, it can't... the debug says that it got a WinkFlash when call not up or ringing (as attached below, Zap/10 is Zap/C in my example) Apr 2 09:14:01 DEBUG[32789]: File

Hi. I'm getting a strange sip issue, with latest cvs. I was tring the *8 extension for call pickup on sip, but I forget to define the callgroup & pickupgroup in sip.conf . Now when I dial *8 from the crisco phone and hangup, the channel in asterisk don't go down and I'm not able to dial from the phone again. If I do a softhangup on the rem. console it does nothing and the

I was wondering if the accountcode flag works with sip channels. I was looking into the debug and ,even if I have the line accountcode=XXX into the users sections of my sip.conf, I don't see it logged into the cdr.

Thanks to everyone for your quick responses to this question. I'm very excited about the Asterisk project, and the growing community seems to be very active these days. Hopefully when the time comes for our county's transition to VoIP we may be able to go for an Asterisk-based solution. -- Tony Kava Network Administrator Pottawattamie County, Iowa -----Original Message----- From:

Based on several threads I've read on this list, I assume that it would be handy to supply POE (power over ethernet) in an environment without having to purchase POE switches (assumed expensive) and abandon one's existing (familiar/custom/not-yet-expensed/etc.) switches/hubs. Assume I have a non-POE switch with 24 RJ-45 (ethernet) ports. I design a 1U box that can be mounted just

Hi, folks: I just took delivery of new PoE cables (PN 2200-11077-002) for our Polycom phones here in the office. I have the following to report, for the erudition of existing Polycom users and those considering purchasing Polycom sets from the set of models noted in the subject: 1. The cables do indeed work (hooray). 2. The cable has a module on it about a third of the way from a female end.

Hi. My first 'snapshot' of flastman is out. Flastman stands for FLash ASTerisk MANager. written in flash, this first version is just a proof of concept, ie doesn't nothing except for logging in/out & displaying manager events while logged in. But is realtime & in any flash-enabled browser. Not very useful yet, but I'm going to improve it. For the hardcore testers, grab it

since I was annoyed this morning, I wrote this simple php script to output channel status from asterisk manager. <disclaimer> that's very bad written, nor commented... I wrote that just for fun </disclaimer> and if someone will use that / improve it , just lemme know. http://asterisk.espia-net.net (wrote with php 4.3.3 and depends on Event: StatusComplete, so a recent * cvs

Hi. Seems that there's a hidden bug in sip call pickup with *8. If I pickup a Sip ringing phone from another sip phone on the very first ring (before the first ring completes), the ringing phone doesn't stop ringing, however the call is connected ok. But, if I pickup the call after the first ring, (after the first, the second, or during the second, or other silly combinations always

Hi all. I have and E1 channel bank from Loop Telecom. there's a little issue with it, I cannot ring the phones on fxs interface, but can connect without issue them. What happens: I dial the phone on port 1, asterisk says "Zap/1 is ringing", but the phone on the analog port doesn't ring. but if I take off hook the ringed phone, asterisk detects the answer at they're bridged

Hi all, I'm experiencing problems with the TDM card with 4 fxo modules. on all tests, if the cards has 4 modules, I get "poopy" kernel messages on the card. The card works for sometime,then hangs and a asterisk restart must be done, along with kern modules unload/reload . if I remove the first module, the card works without problems at all on the remaining 3 modules. using latest

Hi 2 all. I was thinking to start a little web site with phpwiki, to let the * community build a sort of shared documentation 'bout * & related. That because in a wiki "place" all grows faster, and is also the right place to share experiences. For example it's right to have documentation about * installations, ie who has done what with asterisk Till now we don't know

I have a 501 with traditional power and a 301 with PoE. I rightfully assumed that the traditional power from the 501 would work on the 301. How do I get the PoE to work? Do I use the Polycom PoE cable in addition to whatever PoE injection method I use? I have a Cisco PoE injector that works on my Cisco AP350 and my 7960. No combination of this injector, the Polycom cable, and the phone result in

Hi. Since a customer requested us that feature, I wrote this little patch for app_dial to allow to play an announcement to the called party, as soon he answers. you can define the file to play in the dial() option, using A(filename). for example: exten => blah,1,Dial(Zap/blah,30,rA(/my/own/announce)Tt) that doesn't break anything ... feel free to blame me for anything bad this patch

Hi. I was wondering how can I make incoming calls to wait if the phone operator is busy. I've 8 incoming lines, with 30 extensions. What I need is if the operator is busy with call nr #1 , the new incoming call waits until the op. is free. Looking into app_queue seems the way to go. So I want to ask if I'm right or wrong: I set up only a queue , is to say operatorq, where the only member

Hello, I am trying to set up some Cisco 7940G phones with the 3com POE injectors. I have the 3CNJPSE24 power injector, this is the rackmountable 24 port injector. My question is does anyone know how to serial console into these things? I have tried just about every cable setup I can think of and baud rates but I can't seem to get anything out of it. I want to check to see what certain
