In the list I found some messages that *8 doesn't work so well. Is there any possibility to create a extention that you can call, and if you are fast enough, pick up a number? (Also if you are outside your callgroup) like pseudo code: exten => 888, 1, EnterPhoneNumber() exten => 888, 2, EnterPass() exten => 888, 3, TransferCallToThisPhone() exten => 888, 103, Invalid()

Hi All I am having a problem setting the outbound callerid number on a PRI E1 in South Africa. The outbound number keeps on appearing as the main PRI number. How does it work between Asterisk and the Telko? More importantly how do I get it working?

Breeze to set up, too. To monitor and transfer to SIP/1000 / ext 1000: 1. Insert exten => 1000,hint,SIP/1000 into your default context (the context the extension is in) 2. In the monitoring phone's web interface, click Function Keys, pick a key, change it to Destination and type in SIP/1000. Once you submit the form it will change to a SIP URL, that's OK. 3. There is no step 3.

Hi All Does anyone know how to use the MySQL cmd in Asterisk with LIKE and % in the query? I have: exten => s,5,Set(query=SELECT name from contacts where tel like %${number}) exten => s,6,MySQL(Connect connid hostname username password dbname) exten => s,7,MySQL(Query resultid ${connid} ${query}) But there seems to be a problem with the % sign and I don't know how to

Hi All Has anyone come across a handset that can somehow replace FOP? Some users don't like FOP unless it is on a dedicated PC. Thanks Garth

Hi All Does anyone have any ideas around what processing power is needed when bridging PRI channels and recording? I am not sure how the bridging takes place with and without recording? I basically have a situation like this: Telko <----> Asterisk <-----> Legacy PBX Where the lines are PRI's between Telko and Asterisk and Asterisk and the Legacy PBX. At what level does

Hi All Has anyone experienced a crash specific to asterisk 1.2 and Centos 5 when using the misdn hfcpci module that comes with zaptel? I have an asterisk pack based on asterisk-1.2.17 that I have been using on dozens of machines that are rock solid and stable. Today when I tried moving it to Centos 5 I experienced a complete OS crash when calling over HFC misdn channels. Didn't really

What would be the correct application/function to generate "404

Hello everyone, this is my first post to the list, so hello again. We're a small company in Romania and we're trying to set up a really small version of "call center". That is, we want to get a few land-lines from our telco in different countys and "bridge" all calls to our HQ, in order to make it cheeper for our clients to call us. Unfortunatelly there's no ISP

Hi list! Does anyone have experiences with the updated model of the Kirk IP600? The V3 model is supposed to support SIP instead of only SCCP or H323 which would make the use with Asterisk a lot easier. I have only tested the Kirk IP600 V2 with SCCP / Skinny protocol which is still giving me severe headaches : - the standard Skinny driver in * doesn't work, only the version of Sergio

Hello, I had had some echo issues. I purchased a digium echo canceling card, and the echo issue seems to be reduced but not eliminated as I hoped it would be. I currently have it set to 128 'yes'. I've tried 256, but when I try 256 what happens is that instead of getting better echo canceling I get AWEFUL echo. Can anyone enlighten me? I am running 1.2.6 with a 4 port PRI card.

I am trying to set up a linux based faxing solution for a client, and have found that the modem they have (ancient dataplex external unit) just isn't up to the job. It talks to some remote fax machines but not others. A new external modem ranges from AUD$75 to AUD$400, which got me thinking of other possibilities... #1 FXO PCI card (more expensive for 1 port, probably cheaper for 2+) #2

As the subject line says: Is PING a good indicator of network latency? If not, how can I measure latency? Thanks, Cosmin Prund

Hi All Is there any special configuration needed to send and receive faxes on an ATA device? I am using G711.a with a Grandstream Handytone 486. I can send faxes from a fax machine on the ATA, but receiving doesn't work. I get the fax signal, but it just doesn't continue. The LAN is used purely for VoIP traffic. Garth

Hi All According to http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=6457 this has been resolved since 04-11-2006 and I have seen mentioned since 1.2.7. I have tried using mixmonitor on asterisk 1.2.13 and 1.2.17 with the exact same results. The WAV files are recorded but are cut short. I am using a b410p card on the box. When using HFC based cards I have no problem with the recording. Does anyone

How do you set the CallerID? Have you checked with your provider that they've enabled callerid? If yes, are you using a correct number that the provider allows?

Has anyone had any success using the MixMonitor() plus "command" as nothing I have tried works. I am using 1.2.1 I did google the archive but couldn't see any mention of anyone using this. What I am hoping to do is run a macro on hangup, current method I am using seems to miss some calls 5% of calls fail to mix / convert to mp3 etc. Was hoping that MixMonitor would fix this.

Hi, I have 2 g729 licences - what I want to do is use g729 by default but if I get more than 2 calls at a time, use gsm for the others. So, I put this on all my sip providers: disallow=all allow=g729 allow=gsm However, this just seems to use gsm for everything. If I comment out the gsm line, it then uses g729. I thought it would use the codec's in the order they are allowed - is this

Hi all, I'm getting some noise gate like effects on our sip lines & I think I need to disable silence supression, I'm searching docs & not finding where this can be set, does * have a setting to turn this off? basically what's happening is when we stop talking, the other end hears total silence, but when we talk, they can hear the background noise in the office, this sounds odd
