I received a sample IP/Speakerphone from my friends in China today. Asterisk setup was fairly uncomplicated and I had it running as an extension on my server within a few minutes. Sounds quality of both the receiver and the speakerphone are fine (wife's opinion). Are there any tests I should run with this phone? Following are the specs: - Single line appearance - Alpha display, 2x16 chars -

When I installed my first home-PBX three years ago, I was looking at "cellsockets" -- devices which will accept certain cellular phones and provide an RJ11 jack, generating the ring-voltage and recognizing DTMF, which in turn makes your cell-phone look like a CO line. Pretty cool stuff, in theory, but it just didn't seem to be worth the cost, especially since it locks you to a

Hi, I get fascinated when I dial someone and get an IVR play " for accounts department press 1, for sales, press 2 or hold the line for an operator" and then have MOH play before the line is picked up at the desired extesion. Please, permit me as I know this will be one of the dumbest questions to ask in a group like this. I'll apprecaite any specific guide/instruction. Thanks

I meant to mention that the DTMF tones and dialtone sound like they're played at such a high volume that they clip through the handset's speaker. DTMF is rfc2833, so what I'm hearing through the handset isn't affecting

I tried asking in another thread this week, but I'm not sure people saw the actual subject of the question. Does anyone know where to find documentation of xPL, the home automation interface? Specifically for integrating it with Asterisk. xPL is part of Trixbox, so it's being used, but where is some expertise for using it without Trixbox? -- (C) Matthew Rubenstein

Are there affordable DIDs (preferably IAX) available anywhere outside the US? I want to use it to meet ICANN requirements for providing a valid phone number, yet pre-empting some of the telemarketing calls my domain registrations generate. (Yes, I asked a similar question about 900# availability before). I'd prefer to have a number somewhere outside the NANP, preferably an asian country.

I want to put a single voice-mail box on a remote server, where I have metered bandwidth. Before I do this, I want to make sure it's feasible. Could someone confirm the following math for me? G.711, at 64kpbs has a rated network load of 88kbps. So for each second of conversation, about 11KB are crossing the wires in each direction. That means for a minute of two-way conversation, 1.3MB

Whoa, talk about flying under the radar. I got a few DIDs *months* ago from Sixtel (or iax.cc). Initial respone was great, but then it seemed that the only tech-support person had fled the country. No responses, bad responses, poor call-quality. I had a few $s left in the balance and kind-a just forgot about them. Not worth 10 minutes of my time to get $10 of my money back, quite frankly.

Hello All, My asterisk installation has now been running for over two months without a hitch, and I've decided it's time to move things around a bit. It's currently installed on a 2.7GHz Celeron under RH9 installed on a 10GB "leftover" drive. Thanks to the strange marketing method called "Mail-In-Rebate", I have a fresh 160GB drive ($50), and I'm itching to

Here's a question I haven't seen asked nor answered on this list: Is there a provider who offers incoming 900# services? I want to establish a 900# to be used in (about 60-70) domain registrations, to deter telemarketers from calling yet still comply with ICANN requirements for a valid phone number. Alternatively, does anyone know of a source for super-low cost DIDs (like free

I have been looking at moving from SIP-based DID (Illinois) providers to one that uses the IAX protocol for DIDs. After a search, I've come up with the following: http://connect.voicepulse.com -- $8/month, many rate-centers http://www.iax.cc -- $1.50/month + 0.014/min, many rate-centers Can that be all that there is? I like the pricing plan at iax.cc, because it would allow me to set up

Hi I am currently developing a IVR application using PHP/AGI. I am using the PHPAGI class at http://phpagi.sourceforge.net/ to handle the commuication with my *. The application basically asks a caller to enter in some information which is then processed and a answer is read back out to them. I want the application to loop back to the beginning after giving the answer so they can try another

Yup. If you do that, the only time they hear it is during the initial setup call (if you have "forcename=yes" or

I've done all the googling I can on this, and have come to the conclusion that a Grandstream BT101 can be abused to be a door phone. Could someone with access to one, confirm that the following is possible? Researched: 1. When set to auto-answer, dialing the phone will result in a short beep and instant speaker-phone connection. 2. When pressing the "message" button while

I took a little foray into pricing out IP Phones for my home pbx yesterday. $75-$750 seems to be quite a range, so I took a closer look. Cisco, for example, has different models such as the 7940 and 7960 which seem to only differ in the software. And buying a Cisco 7920 should cost you $500 w/o a license, and $200 more with a license? It seems to me that these prices are substantially

Hi All, I've recently got a "second" number installed on my PSTN line, trusting the Asterisk distinctive ring detection would work as expected. It appeared to work fine at the start, as the second number generated a different ring pattern to 0,0,0 (in the console) only to realise that almost every phone call to this "second" number generated a different ring pattern.

Hello, I have an Asterisk with one local Cisco ATA and one remote Cisco ATA connected to the Asterisk, the remore connection is a satellite link with an 900ms delay. I can make calls from the remote site to the local site, but when try to call from local to remote it doesn't work. The Asterisk timesout, it sais no one answered and can?t establish the connection. Can anybody help me with

Hi all I have been googling and wiki-ing and have found a number of potential solutions to my questions, but I don't want to have to play about for too long and risk messing up my * box now I've just got it working, if one of you kind folk could offer your 2 penneth, (being a Brit I'll have none of this cents business ;] ). I want to send an SMS message whenever I get a voicemail

Basically, pretty much all the 2 line cordless systems I've seen come with a built in digital answering system that I'll never use, the main problem with this is that these units don't support VMWI (visual message waiting indicator) with telco supplied voicemail. This is a problem because I'll be setup an Asterisk system in the next month or so to handle my 2 analog and 1
