I have many remote locations that dial into a central server to retrieve voicemail via IAX. Outbound calls are handled as SIP calls from a Snom to a local (to them) Asterisk server that dials the main server thru IAX. I have trained them to check their voicemail via the emailed WAV file, however some of them are, how shall I put it, idiots*, and insist that they *have* to have the MWI indicator

We're investigating audio quality issues in our system; maybe someone can help. We're using Asterisk as a basic PBX, with a single PRI on one side and SIP phones on the other: Sipura SPA-841's. We're experiencing several audio effects which seem to commonly correspond to network failures (packet loss, high jitter, etc manifested as "robot voice", dropouts, periodic

Hi all, I've just bought some SPA922. First time with this hardware for me. I see no LAN tab in its web GUI where I can setup NAT for PC conected to its LAN ethernet port. However, when I connect a PC to that port, SPA922 works as bridge. Anybody can confirm SPA922 can NAT a PC connected to its LAN port? Does exist such LAN tab for setting up parameters as port forwarding? (by the way,

Hello, I've got my dialplan configured to do a double ring when a customer service call comes in, and a normal ring when an extension is dialed directly. When a customer service call is transferred, I want to ring to revert back to normal. In the local extension macro, I have the following ; make sure ring is set to default exten => s,n,NoOp(${ALERT_INFO}) exten =>

Guys. Anybody know why sometimes on some servers Asterisk shows more than once while doing a ps? [root@server2 akrall]# ps -ax|grep asterisk 20555 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk 20557 ?

Hello, I'm still trying to make the life of my colleagues easier. Nice, isn't it ? At the moment, I'm looking for a way to generate multiple "single report".

Hi, Some help with dimensioning the server will be gladly accepted. -50 sip phones (g729) or g711(to avoid transcoding) in LAN -an asterisk server (1.4) doing normal pbx functions + voicemail in the same LAN -Some sporadic conferencing with no more than 2 sip phones and maybe 2 or 3 calls coming from the E1 for a total of 5 people in a conference. The asterisk server will get an E1(pri) via one

Anyone having any problems with CVS-HEAD-12/24/04-15:59:15 and ALERT_INFO I have a system setup with polycom phones configured to auto answer on internal calls. When we upgraded to the latest CVS the auto answer stopped working. My dialplan has not changed. I did a sip debug and I dont see the alert-info tag in any of the sip traces. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks John Bittner Simlab.net

I am wondering if there are any tricks getting the Cisco ATAs to do "distinctive rings" via the ALERT_INFO variable? I have seen some contradictory information in the Wiki, and I tried the example there. I then sniffed the connection between the server and the ATA and didn't see the header sent like it is "supposed" to be. If someone out there has a handle on this and

A call comes in I set the distinctive ring by setting variable ALERT_INFO then dial a SIP channel. The channel is answered, but then the user forwards the call to another SIP channel. ALERT_INFO is still set. How can I clear the ALERT_INFO variable after the SIP channel is answered so that when the call is forwarded the ring goes back to "normal"?

I have been playing with a 480i with the new firmware 1.2.0.162 I hope to get some form of paging intercom function to work. In the wiki someone post that ALERT_INFO type of paging might be in this version of firmware but I have been unable to find anything on this yet. I have tried sending the ALERT_INFO to the phone a number of ways with no results. I then hooked up my bt100 and tried to dial

Hi All - I'm trying to implement the auto-answer config from the wiki, but the result for me is that the phone just rings as normal. I'm running firmware version 1.4.1 on an IP500. I've added the following to my sip.cfg: <alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.value="Ring Answer" voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.class="4"/> and this to my ipmid.cfg

CVS Head from 07/07/2005 I'm trying to make an IP-501 auto answer a call. exten => 301,1,SetVar(_ALERT_INFO="Ring_Ans") exten => 301,2,SetVar(ALERT_INFO="Ring_Ans") # Tried both combinations exten => 301,3,Dial(SIP/5001,15) exten => 301,4,Hangup Sip.cfg for Polycom phone <alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.value="Ring_Ans"

Hi, I've just found: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2003-June/014475.html which talks about ALERT_INFO and Cisco phones. How do I actually get this working and what does it do? Do I need to add anything to the configs for the phone or is it just a SetVar(ALERT_INFO=1) - which I tried and it seemed to do nothing at all.. Thanks Andy

Since 1.4 ALERT_INFO variable has been deprecated. I used to send this via AMI: Action: Originate Channel: Sip/1234 Application: AgentLogin Data: 1234 Variable: _ALERT_INFO=info=alert-autoanswer Callerid: AutoLogin[1234] In order to send an autologin and autoanswer call to the agent 1234 on an Aastra phone at extension 1234. (just for example). Now in * 1.4 with ALERT_INFO deprecated I

Hi Can anyone with distinctive ring on their 7960's possibly post how they've got it to work? I understand that the ALERT_INFO variable is involved but using the examples for the variable value from the WiKi I'm just getting an error message from the Asterisk concole. Thanks in advance. P

Hi all, Has anyone gotten custom ring tones to work using ALERT_INFO with the Cisco 7940 SIP phone? I've read the wiki, but just can't get this to work. I'm currently using the 7.2 SIP image. Thanks, Chris

Hi All, I am running into a problem setting the ringtones via _ALERT_INFO on the Cisco 7960 phone. I am using * 1.2.1 and have tried setting the variable to several values. I have also tried setting the phone's software to both 7.5 and 8.2 thinking that it might be a version issue, but with no success. I have examined the packets and do see the ALERT_INFO header being sent, but the
