Hi list, I have a couple of questions related to asterisk billing and the generation of cdr logs. I've searched the wiki but have not found my answers, hopefully you guys can help. 1) When are asterisk CDR logs _normally_ generated? When the call arrives, when the call hangs up, or both? I have looked at the records created and it seems to only generate it at the time the call is

I have two asterisk machines. One of them has a Digium board (server A) and the other is simply using ztdummy (server B). Server A is running on Debian and Server B is running Gentoo. Server A is running Asterisk CVS-Nv1-0-7-06/01/05-01:27:25 and Server B is running Asterisk 1.0.7. The problem I have is that when I try to transfer a call into a meetme room in server B, it simply hangs

Waldo, How do you let your customers manage 'their' PBX. I too have a setup like you. However, I installed a * server for each customer, via vserver. I'd like to now what kind of software/webbased package you use for this. I also have SER installed as a front-end server for the * servers. But, as I'm still not very into SER, don't know exactly how this fits in. Should I use

lqbal, I do plan on having alot of users. Two markets I'm trying to get some volume users from are: residential consumers and business users. Residential consumers should get basic line services such as their own DID, voicemail, caller-id, call-waiting, three-way calling, and basically, all the standard features you get from companies like Vonage, etc. This particular market base

Hi Gang I have not yet managed to find a solution to correctly generate CDRs for this situation: Alice calls Bob. Bob has call forwarding delayed 20s to Charlie. Charlie picks up immediately. exten => bob,1,DBget(cfwdly=CFDLY/${exten}); $cfwdly contains charlie same => n,Set(CDR(src)=${CALLERID(number)}) ; src 'alice' same => n,Set(CDR(dst)=${exten}) same =>

Is the CDR table the right table for billing? I did some tests and CDR records billing seconds for calls that where never picked up. Is this a bug in my system or is that the way CDR works? I called out on my X100T card. Best regards, Han Test data Duration 12 seconds 8 seconds billing time (never picked up my phone) Duration 111 seconds 108 seconds billing time (5 second but

Hi Guys I am just looking around for a small billing program but can't really find what I am looking for. It needs to bill straight off the CDR. It should grab all the CDR records from the asteriskcdrdb mysql database then have a rates table to that it calculate a bill from. Is there any open source packages or commercial packages that will account for billing say only 5 extensions?

Hi I am using asterisk 1.6.1.1 ,and trying to do cdr billing.But the problem is when I do transfers,callforward,callparking cdr records are not proper.Below is example 'A' called pstn number and 'A' transfer the call to 'B',In this case cdr is genrating as 1 . caller - A ,Callee - PSTN ,uniqueid=923479129.234 2.

Benny-- Thanks for the response! I've inserted comments in the following: PS. Pardon the HTML format; my email editor splits lines at an unadjustably small number of columns, but in HTML, no line length limits, and better looking examples!

Hi all, Assuming 1.0.7 is the latest stable version, how/where can I find out the different CVS revisions available and a description of what has been patched/updated in each CVS revision so I can decide whether to leave my 1.0.7 installation as is, or if I need (or think I need) to patch it with a CVS version? Thanks, Waldo

I need to manually set certain CDR fields. 1). Callers are allowed to call someone within the same organisation by using a 4 digit extension. A database lookup maps the 4 digit extension to the real number. However, a CDR for this call shows the original 4 digit extension still. What variable is used to set the 'dst' field in the CDR? Is it the dnid AGI var? How can I set this? I tried

I have a Astlinux system that can't run mysql. I want to bill calls by extension but all I have is the raw CDR files.

I am using asterisk 1.4.18 (server A ) and have it store records in mysql database . One of my client uses predictive dialer ( asterisk 1.2.26 based and server B ) which makes many calls . B registers with A over sip and there is no nat involved If i re-invite rtp from server B to my carrier ( server A in between ) I saw many calls having duration of 0,1 or 2 seconds on server A's cdr but

I'm looking for an inexpensive way to connect 20 analog phones to asterisk. I could get a bunch of Linksys or Sipura boxes but was wondering if there is a more cost effective way? I came across the Mediatrix 1104 and even the Mediatrix 1124 but that comes out to be almost $100/port. I might as well buy inexpensive IP phone. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Waldo

Hi guys, i've installed asterisk to handle multiple voip accounts. I've looked at CDR configs, and managed to have cdr-csv files growing after each call. It would be easier to check my locak asterisk cdr's than logging into each account and check them at the provider website. i found that if i ring my sip softphone from my ata, bill seconds are counted correctly. however, if i

I was playing today with the different queueing strategies in queues.conf when I noticed the following behavior. I have 4 agents defined in a queue in queues.conf. These agents login using AgentCallbackLogin. The strategy in the queue is set to leastrecent. I place four calls into the queue and * sends only one call to the least recently used agent. If that agent does not pick up, the

Hello list, We have some kind of a problem with our Asterisk installation. We want to be able to publish different caller id when placing outbound calls through the PSTN. We have Asterisk with TE410P and T1 from FDN Communications. The problem is that all our outbound calls show our main number, regardless of what we set with SetCallerID, even using CallingPres with all possible

Hi Folks, I figured out how to get the AMAFlags set correctly! It was not documented anywhere I could find, and I grepped through the source code trying to track through the different function calls etc. all to no avail. But... if you note in the sample.call file, they show how to do Set(CDR(userfield|r)=whatever. I tried adding this "|r" piece into amaflags, like so:

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend one over the other. I'm mostly interested in running open source solutions, so I would prefer if your recommendations are within the open source arena. Basically, I contemplated the idea of using SER as a NAT Helper and possibly as a SIP server for a portion of our user base. We prefer to have Asterisk in the mix because of the additional
