similar to: Who is in control Voicetronix OR Asterisk

Hello all, I hope this is not off-topic, if it is please let me know. I'm currently playing with an Asterisk at home, in order to get to know it's ins and outs. Very very impressive indeed. I've got it hooked up to my home phone line via a Wildcard clone board (Intel modem with Ambient chipset), and it works like a charm. Zaptel picks up the card as a generic clone, and works with it

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

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?

New to asterisk so please be gentle. I'm guessing I'm among a number of recent additions to the list after the article in Linux Mag. I gotta say I'm *very* intersted in the project and will be doing lots of reading shortly. A couble quick questions first... How suitable is Asterisk for use as an IVR providing callers with textual data out of a database? Can it be combined easily

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

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

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

Hi all, I used to have an OpenLine4 card, but decided against using it due to some problems with hangup detect. Does anyone on the list actively use Voicetronix's OpenSwitch12? What are your opinions on the card? Cheers, Flynn

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

Hi All, Just a quick question, but I could really use some help on this one. I've got the CVS-Head of * installed and running, and am using a VoiceTronix OpenSwitch12 to connect to 12 analouge lines. I've got callerid activated by the Telco, and can get callerid using a std phone. However, using *, I always get an error 'Cannot decode callerid'. Does anyone know if I need to

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'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.

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

Has anyone gotten the voicetronix boards to work with Asterisk, what would it take? Or does anyone know where I can get 4 ports or more fxs PCI cards that do work with asterisk? Brian J.

dear Hackers, i have a voicetronix Openswitch card, and i have been finding it very dificult to get it to work with asterisk. i intend to connect 8 ports to the PSTN and 4 as station ports. problem 1: On running asterisk all i get at first i get : event[9=>[11] station OFF hook] on vpb/1-12 even [12=>[11] loop drop on vpb/1-12 event [12=>[11] Tone detect:GRUNT event [2=>[11] Dial

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:
