For an office that is using VoIP phones to connect to Asterisk, is gigabit ethernet really necessary for the Asterisk box to connect to the switch? I know that I won't even approach the limits of 100 Mbps, but would gigabit help with latency / collisions when several calls are underway? The fact is, anything going outside the office will be over a data T1, so intuition tells me that 100

I've created a pretty complete HOWTO on creating a Linux Bridge (using Fedora) to shape LAN <--> WAN traffic. It includes installation instructions, a script to configure the bridge (which you install as a service), and 2 scripts to configure the network interfaces using traffic control. http://www.burnpc.com/website.nsf/all/3a64a6369757819686256f960068ad75!OpenDocument If anyone

Hi, I'm helping out with a political campaign and would like to use asterisk to blast out about 200,000 calls with a short message from the candidate. Provider: I'm thinking voipjet may be a good solution? Hardware setup: I will have access to several T-1 lines so I would just want to set up the dialers to limit the number of concurrent calls and so forth. I found teleyapper on

Hello all, We've discovered that VoIP (IAX2) + Citrix + Video is pegging the measly CPU on the Netopia router our ISP provided. We've got 3Mb/3Mb and will increase to 4/4 next year. The Netopia simply breaks out our WAN IPs, and we've got a switch hooked up to it on the inside (Actually I've got a QoS box in-between). ------------- | Internet | | on Cat5 | -------------

Has anyone tried out the Linksys RT31P2 with Asterisk? Seems like a really great solution for remote users... even supports QoS. Too bad it doesn't also have VPN functionality built in. Here's a link to the product: http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?prid=652&scid=29 -Ron -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hey Nicolas, That did it. I ran that export command you suggested, then launched *, everything worked fine. I'm still looking for info on what that command actually does. Can you shed some light please? Thanks.

We're trying to PQ (Priority Queue) packets on a Cisco using ACL's. What we're trying to avoid is hardcoding the IP address in the ACL. We were trying to match by TOS set by Asterisk however it seems we've run into a snag where the packet TOS tends to get reset somewhere on our network. Has anyone had this issue? We're running Cisco everywhere inbetween (even the switches). Is

I'm installing an office in a couple of weeks that will have some nice Polycom FX video units in the conference rooms. I'm thinking that with asterisk-oh323 http://www.inaccessnetworks.com/ian/projects/asterisk-oh323/#section2 I should hopefully get the ability for phone users to dial an extension and participate in video conferences, or just simply phone conference with users in the

Hello all. I''ve been struggling to QoS VoIP at our site and have a successful implementation at this point. Basically I had to set aside enough bandwidth for VoIP by placing all other traffic behind an HTB (multiple classes and queues behind it). Everything is fine. Here''s the diagram: ------- | eth | ------- | --------

Drive space for voice mail I've looked in the dimensioning information on voip-info.org but can't find any hard information on the amount of drive space the various codecs use. Since we would eventually like to support web-based voice mail retrieval, I'm thinking of the wav format. I've specced out 2x160GB drives in RAID-1 (software RAID via Linux) for the box. It will be

Thanks for all your help Martin, Guys, This is a good find and hopefully could help someone else. I've been having a problem with forwarding voicemail from one mailbox to another. I ran down the sendmail and soundcard path and came up goose eggs. With intuitive guidance from Martin Pycko (Digium), I switched from Redhat 9 Kernel linux-2.4.20-8 to Redhat 8 Kernel linux-2.4.18-14 and it

Hello everyone! I''m simply trying to put a PRIO inside an HTB (used to throttle). I''ve got interactive traffic on the network that I want to give priority (VoIP + Citrix + Video). I''ve used the filters in a CBQ script fine, but am having trouble adjusting them to this setup such that they properly assign the traffic. tc qdisc del root dev $e tc qdisc add dev $e

Hello. I'm try to set up asterisk for making outgoing calls with oh323 channel driver version 0.7.1 with Asterisk CVS-1-01/09/05-01:41:37. Our provider uses Mera MVTS softswitch and supports only H.323. We don't use gatekeeper for connection but provider requires SOURCE PHONE NUMBER for route out calls and I don't know how I can specify this number. Call with this string exten

Hi All, I'm trying to test asterisk voicemail on recording my own unavailable message, busy message or temporary message. I was looking at the console and saw this message: app_voicemail store_file Memory map failed Then i looked at /var/spool/asterisk/.... there were no recorded greetings. what does the error mean? TIA Regards Ron

Hello, I use Asterisk 1.0.2 on a RedHat Enterprise Server 3.0 (Kernel 2.4.21) and i experienced that the memory consumption of the asterisk-process started by the init.d-script raises continously. Now, after 3 hours of operation (on our testing-system we have 30 concurrent connections to another asterisk box using IAX2 and GSM codec) there is already 66MB allocated. I think this could be ok, but

Hi All, I'm trying to use a php script to send voicemail e-mail so i can send custom e-mail message based on what mailbox. on my voicemail.conf i have mailcmd=/var/www/voicemail.php but when i tried to call an extension and goe to voicemail i'm not receiving the e-mail. but when i execute "php /var/www/voicemail.php" on the shell, i can receive the e-mail. how would i

HI all, What is best way to be limited upload speed from LAN users. I read that it is possible to be done with IMQ interface or with limitation over gateway interface of router(eth0 in my "scheme"), but i cannot chose what is preferred way and need from advice. Please for advise, any example scripts or URL with tutorial are welcome :) I read couple times Linux Traffic Control.

Why not try something like Pebble linux from http://www.nycwireless.net/pebble It is a stripped down Debian install that is aimed at running a wireless hotspot but it is just Debian and you can install whatever you want. It fits on a 64MB flash card but if you install almost anything you will want a 128MB one. It does come with iptables and iproute2 tools as I recall. Patrick

Is there any way to set Asterisk to choose what codec to allow for a new call based on current usage? In other words... be able to define a max number of ulaw calls, then after that only allowing g729? The idea here is that in general, a T-1 should be enough for our offices to have phone + citrix + some video (got good QoS in place already). But for usage spikes, user experience would be kept

I've got a SIP channel that appears to be hung up. It's an extension that records a .gsm file and fortunately the recording has stopped. I tried zap destroy channel but I guess that doesn't apply to SIP channels. Any ideas? I issued a restart when convenient but figure there must be a better way.
