In Asterisk 1.4, is there any way to "force" new users to configure their mailbox? I'm thinking a simple IVR that holds a user's hand through changing their PIN, recording their name, and setting up one or both greetings, the very first time they use the account. I know I can publish docs that tell them how to use the "0" menu and do this by hand... but users are

Hi I have been trying for a while to find a way to get an SMS send when I receive a voicemail into my asterisk system. I don't want to send an SMS if the caller doesn't leave a message.

Hi i have installed a new Asterisk server on Fedora. My first server use Asterisk 1.6.x with a MySQL CDR and realtime. I have a small problems, when i configure on the new server, the same information in MySQL, we have a error: [Jun 3 16:27:59] ERROR[3140] res_config_mysql.c: MySQL RealTime: Failed to connect database server SSI on myhost.myserver.com (err 2003).

Hi I believe this is due to the way US phone systems work, however I'm going to ask anyway. In the UK there are several providers who provide national rate PSTN => Voip gateways which are free to receive calls on, (for the recipient), the caller pays the cost of calling. E.g 0844 0870 etc. I am looking for a US provier who offers the same sort of system. I don't call the US but I

Hi I installed *@home 0.6 to play with the system, and learn. I tried AMP but didn't like it and so set forth into the conf files manually. I have it all set up how I want, all my extensions work etc. Reading this list and playing in the wiki and google, I get the impression *@home is great for learning, but has a few limitiations. I would like to upgrade my box to the latest stable cvs

We have a number of clients who will be needing a server to host Asterisk on. Many of these clients use analog (FXO) lines that will need to be connected to Asterisk via Sangoma cards. Can anyone recommend an industry-standard server (like IBM, Dell, HP, etc.) that has enough open PCI slots to handle up to six of the Sangoma cards? We would like to be able to tell the customer to just go

The hype and documentation for the last couple of releases of the Flash Operator Panel claim that the Panel can be configured to either change the LED for a phone, or the name of a phone to indicate when that phone is logged into a queue. I've tried on two different versions (0.18 and 0.19) on two different systems to get this feature to work, and have been completely unsuccessful. Any hints

Is there anyway in asterisk to figure out how much time an agent has spent on the phone? I know I can see total time for a call (inbound or outbound) but where/how do I view queue stats?

Hello all, I'm quite new to the list, but experienced in linux. For the last several months, I've been trying to get some basic things working in WINE (eg. Internet Explorer). I'm running Ubuntu (Hoary and Breezy), and debian (Sarge). It appears that no matter what version (20040615, 20041019, 20050310, 20050930, 20050725, 0.90) I try to install (or build and install), I don't

Having problems getting realtime working, I'm trying to use odbc for all of this. I've got Fedora 3 and have been fighting with odbc for a day now. I think I got it working correctly, however I can't seem to get the realtime portion working. In asterisk 'odbc show' shows it connected, I see it on my (odbc) mysql server connected and all, it connects and just idles. So, without

Hi List, I am using asterisk 1.2.14 with real time and I am trying to send the email to more than one email address. In that field I put in user1@domain.com;user2@domain.com. When the call goes to VM I see in the CLI: uniqueid => 17 customer_id => 0 context => techmast mailbox => 14 password => 1234 fullname => Sales and Service email => user1@domain.com email =>

I have a simple 4 person ACD queue using the AgentCallback function. No matter what strategy I use, anytime someone calls into the queue asterisk dials the agents in the order that they are listed in the agents.conf file. This doesn't seem right to me, or am I wrong.

Hello, I am struggling with what seems a common unresolved problem, changing the password from voicemailman when using a realtime engine (adaptive_odbc in my case, connected to mysql). I have seen messages dating back to 2007 with this problem and the last one was bug 5168, reported as closed, but without explaining the fix

What I'm trying to achieve is that a voicemail message should be at least 3 seconds long for it to be saved, but *after that* a prolonged silence (e.g. 10 seconds) should terminate the call and recording. My current settings (Asterisk 10.7.0 and 11.2.1) are: ; Minimum length of a voicemail message in seconds for the message to be kept ; The default is no minimum. minsecs=3 ;

Hi all I have been googling and wiki-ing and have found a number of potential solutions to my questions, but I don't want to have to play about for too long and risk messing up my * box now I've just got it working, if one of you kind folk could offer your 2 penneth, (being a Brit I'll have none of this cents business ;] ). I want to send an SMS message whenever I get a voicemail

My asterisk server is in the cloud. Figuring out how to send an email is too much brain damage. So i can't use the email feature that's built into voicemail. What I want to do is execute a remote command with the voicemail as an argument. The remote machine command would email the message. I'm thinking of: same =>n,VoiceMail(vm,u) same =>n,System(ssh myserver "emailVM

Any advice on a good conference phone that works with Asterisk? I like the Cisco line and was wondering if anyone has used the 7935 or 7936 phones. From what I can tell they don't have a sip load. Has anyone verified this or gotten an ETA from Cisco? Chad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
