A feature we're often asked for in our ITSP product is to allow customers to upload their own music on hold, or to have it recorded for them by a recording studio with the latest news, weather, etc, punctuated by "Welcome to <customer>, please hold". Since there may be thousands or tens of thousands of customers, and perhaps 10% of customers may want this feature with a

I am running Asterisk CVS-04/16/03-18:57:13, and mpg123-0.59r It all sounds great and it plays at the correct pitch and speed. However at the end of the file it simply does nothing. It does not go on the the next step in the extension.conf nor does it hang up. It just sits there. During play I have two processes running for the mp3 stream: root 6300 6299 8 22:32 ?

I've been considering doing a web based database system, where you can post your termination offerings or wanted, then search by location, price, minimum volumes, etc. I'd probably make it free, supported by advertising my consulting company, or Google Adwords, or something like that. I've got the design written down, all ready to start coding. I could probably have a prototype

Here's the problem: I start asterisk, and it takes up around 3-4% of my CPU resources. However, this number continues to climb over the hours until it is close to 100%. Usually it takes around a day to climb up to approximately 95 or 96% Has anybody experienced the following problem before?

All, I desperately need a resolution to this issue. I've asked once (about a day or two ago), but I haven't heard anything back. The only reason I press the issue is I may because without a quick resolution, I may be forced to switch over to AD (cry!). I submitted a request via Bugzilla but I saw a slightly similar problem with 3.0.20a that still hasn't been resolved, so I

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I'm not finding an answer anywhere. Do I need a dedicated box to run asterisk, or can I put in my server (running Fedora) and leverage some of the free cpu cycles and disk space? Thanks, Dunc

Hi all, I have seen the term E1 and PRI used interchangably when referring to a voice service with 30B channels and 1 D channel. Are they just different terms for the same thing or is there some technical difference. Even Newton's telco dictonary seemed a bit fuzzy on this topic. I have seen it said the PRi is a protocol that runs on top of E1. Is this true?

I'm planning an Asterisk Voicemail system of around 3000 users spread across several sites, each site connected by a fast network to a central site. We're considering 2 models: - Central Voicemail with VoIP calls from remote sites (easier to administer the system(s)). - Voicemail server at each site with shared database and NFS server at the central site (easier to connect to the

Running Asterisk 1.6.2.11 on debian 5.0.6 with mpg123 1.4.3 when i start asterisk, i immediately see two mpg123 processes spawned which sit there forever. I can't imagine it's normal behavior, but if it is, please explain :) # /etc/init.d/asterisk stop stopping asterisk. #[...] # /etc/init.d/asterisk start starting asterisk. # psg aster root 14573 1 0 16:29 pts/2 00:00:00

We've been asked to quote for a large cluster running Asterisk and our ITSP in a box product. The system will be SIP throughout, with mixed codecs. We're considering using Dell blade servers, 1855 or similar, on the grounds that we normally use Dell machines and they work well, but we need higher rack density. Has anyone used these? Any feedback on whether they're

Is it true that asterisk 1.2.6 does not use mpg123? I just installed asterisk 1.2.6 and while I do have music on hold (through format_mp3?) I do not have an mpg123 process running. I seem to be having serious audio issues when going through one of my providers (and just through that provider) when using mp3 for hold music, however when using wav files it is fine. The processor is only at about

Hi list, I've always about 50 concurrent SIP callers listening to several MOH streams (fed via mpg123) on Asterisk 11.4.0, 4x 2.2 GHz and the CPU usage is always at about 250% causing stuttering of the streams and delays when using Read() and Playback() (overall everything is just really slow/delayed). I've seen Asterisk doing that when the MOH stream that was fed via mpg123 was

Hello, I just started with asterisk and I start to get it, but there is one thing that I don't seem to get: If I put an FXS-card into my asterisk server, then I can phone to the server with a normal phone, but can that phone also be reached by de server, so someone can caal back that phone? Or do I have to provide another connection? And if I connect two asterisk servers, can this be thone

Hi all, I'm currently looking for a VoIP platform to support the following features: Caller ID Call Waiting with caller ID Call Hold/Retrieve Three-way conference Calling Line Identity Presentation Call back last missed call Last called number redial User line locking/Call Barring (all current levels) Itemised bill Call Forward Call Forward on No Reply Call Forward on Busy Call Forward

I have three users whose smbd processes will suddenly go rogue and start sucking up CPU time. It isn't guaranteed that every time they log in, that their process goes rogue, but it happens a lot. At that time I see that those smbd processes have an effective UID of the person's username, and a real UID of root. Everyone else's is always EUID root and UID root. I haven't a clue

Hey guys, I'm looking for a programming or Development Team/Company to do some custom coding for Asterisk. What we need is not exactly simple. In fact, I'm not sure the extent of the coding as far as technical terms go at all. Currently we have a "call center" with 4 phones. There will be a total of 8 people using the phones. Obviously, no more than 4 people will use

Hi, I'd like to terminate IAX call on PRI interface. What conditions should be met to be able to send arbitrary caller numbers to called party, so he can call back to supplied ISDN number (that is different for every IAX user) - not through PRI interface, but plain ISDN call !! Thanks in advance, regards, Rob.

I have some simple questions and i need your help guys. I have ser server which working fine, between users. I am trying to add some more features to the ser. Most important is the IVR.

CPU 99.3%: 2170 root 25 0 11656 3228 10m R 99.3 0.5 0:07.42 smbd We're having the same problems as many others with print queues, client lock-ups, etc. I think maybe this CPU problem is related as we have two servers in two locations with the same versions, and both had the problem immediately after upgrading to 3.0.10. We use the YUM facility to upgrade Samba. To react to these
