While setting my first couple IP phones, I set their voicemail buttons to an extension that runs VoicemailMain. exten => 8500,1,Wait(1) ; voicemail exten => 8500,2,VoicemailMain ; exten => 8500,3,Hangup ; I would like to be able to pass the mailbox number allowing each phone to go in directly but I'd rather tno have

One of the suggestions I got for dealing with my analog FXO woes was to look into using a Voicetronix card instead of the Digium. They're more expensive but if it worked better it may be reasonable. They indicated they were compatable with the CVS HEAD version of *. Can someone share with me their experiences with Voicetronix OpenLine and/or OpenSwitch cards with *? I'm specifically

Hi all, Happy Wednesday! Got a 7940G off eBay to tinker with and, per the wiki, contacted Cisco about a service contract. Being just little ol' me, they won't deal directly and blew me off (I hate dealing with Cisco, Nortel, etc as a small-business person...) Again per the wiki, I hit CDW.com and found CON-SNT-CP7960 for $9.14. Looking for support for the 7940 (not 7960), I just

I've been struggling with a test * install for a couple months now in a small office and am just about ready to give up on it. It's not that the system itself is a problem. I've got everything (attendant, voicemail, FXS extensions, Cisco and Polycom hard-IP phones, and 2 VOIP carriers) working except for the frigging analog FXO interfaces. These things are driving me completely mad.

Been tinkering and found Zapateller appears to be answering when I didn't expect it to. I have something like so: [incoming] exten => s,1,NoOp ;Zapateller(answer|nocallerid) exten => s,2,PrivacyManager exten => s,3,Dial(${RING},20) ... I have a 1x1 analog * installation with a couple IP phones too. I've got the FXO interface connected to the home phone line. When I get an

I've got a single IAXy installed in a little office nearby and got a call from someone on site a finew mintues ago. Apparently they couldn't make a call on that extension. They'd pick up the phone and get nothing; no dial-tone. Running "iax2 show peers" showed the unit still registered and I could ping it too. Didn't try to call it while it was doing this; sorry. The

Running * CVS with a SPA-841 (0.9.5) and can't seem to get the message waiting light to come on automatically. There is a control in the web interface to turn it on and off (seems rather curious to me but whatever). Has anybody got an idea as to where I may be going awry? TIA, Paul -- Paul A.

Am I doing something wrong here? GOt a SPC-841 the other day and have it registering properly. Can place and recive calls as expected but when on the phone, a second call is immediately dumped to "busy" voicemail. Does this thing not support call-waiting? Or, have I just got my configs wrong?

This is probably going to sound really silly and I must be confused about it. Maybe someone can set me straight. I've been tinkering for a while with * and a number of different FXO/FXS cards, SIP phones, and ATAs trying to get a feel for what works and what doesn't. In the SIP phone group, I have a Cisco 7940G, a Polycom 500, and now an SPA-841. Each of these allow me to configure at

In case it helps others, a couple gotchas that I had to dig and beat my head against to get past... - building on FC2, use "make linux26" when building asterisk - also for FC2, a couple links in /usr/src named linux and linux-2.6 and pointing to /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/build/ were needed to build - yes, the power connector on the TDM400P needs to be connected to the power

Looking to outfit a 8-person office shortly and am looking for IP phone recomendations. Saw recent threads and the wiki with all kinds of suggestions and notes on configs but little on the "feel" and sound quality. I have a PolyCom SoundPointPro analog desk/speaker phone and the Cisco 7940 here. How to the other business-class phones compare, from a user's point of view, to these?

In my search for a better analog FXO interface, I'm looking into the Voicetronix cards. Can someone let me know if they've been using the OpenSwitch cards with Asterisk? Also, can anybody comment on the differences in FXO performance between the OpenCall and OpenSwitch cards? Thanks in advance, Paul -- Paul A. Dugas Dugas Enterprises, LLC email:

Seems strange to me that I should be having this problem but I'm stumped. I'm still playing with a Voicetronix OpenSwitch6 card and Asterisk (development CVS). I using a dialplan that's derived from one on another running installation that's using Digium FXS/FXO interfaces instead of the OpenSwitch card. It seems that as soon as a user on an FXS interface dials 7 digits, a call

>From what i've read i think that asterisk is suppose to generate the dialtone. But when i pickup my analog phone it seems that the Openswitch12 card is the one playng the dialtone. Im almost positive the card is playing the dialtone, can anyone confirm this? And if so how can i change the dialtone?

How long does it take to get a vanity number? I signed up for an account, pre-paid some money, and then placed a vanity number order. I did all of that around Dec. 31st 2004. They said it would take 2-10 business days. It is now Feb. 15th and still no vanity number. I've called them about a dozen times and every time they tell me to keep calling the number to check it and just wait. I'm

Hi there, Do anyone have any experience with SIP phone that support a headset ? We have Budgetone phones but we need headsets. What would you advise ? Thanks Thibault

Has anyone gotten call-waiting to function on the 4 line SPA-841? I've seen some documents that say it can do it, some say no way. If yes, can you share configs / SPA-841 settings? If no, did you work around it? I can call out just fine on all 4 lines, however, if I am on the line, another call coming in does not ring the 2nd line...it just goes to busy / VM. -Darren

Wondering if someone (Steve?) can clarify something form me. I think the recent "soho fax solution?" thread has mixed things up for me. - Is it possible to get reliable fax reception using a Zaptel FXO interface connected to a standard POTS line and a fax machine connected to station interface? - Is it possible to reliably send outboud faxes in the reverse direction?

I'm looking to purchase and deploy a bunch of hardphones for agent use. The phones will have to register with Asterisk and/or SER, depending on where the phones go. They need only one line, G729 codec, and no super fancy features. Preferrably something that is easy to provision. I would think the BudgeTone would be good, but then I've read so many people complaining about them, and some
