similar to: Ringing to Outside Line

I have been having a strange issue with my Asterisk 1.2.1 server. I have a TDM400 for the three POTS lines I have and I can receive calls without any problems. But sometimes (not everytime, but 70%) when I dial out of those lines it drops a number and of course gives me the telco error message. How do I know that it's dropping? Because I thought it was a line problem and the tech came out

For some reason my voice mail stopped working properly. I was able to go in as a new user, set the password and options and now can never log back in using the password I assigned the mailbox. I can log in through the web interface with that password fine, and the voicemail.conf looks fine but every time I try to check messages I get "Password incorrect please try again" until it

I'm still trying to learn some parts of Asterisk, so sorry in advance for the dumb question! How do I set up an extension to dial out to the PSTN through my ZAP interfaces? I want the ability to have a ring group that will ring all of the phones in an office and then ring cell phones if nobody answers. I'm sure this is simple to do but I'm at a loss. I have tried the following

Hello, I'm having trouble getting this to work: I have a ring group that dials an extension and if no answer dials a cell phone. If the cell phone doesn't answer I want to go to voicemail or another extension. I have set the timeout to 15 seconds but it never actually works, it will just ring until the cell voice mail picks up. I'm using Asterisk@Home 2.8 and a TDM400P card.

I have a Polycom IP501 phone and have set it up to download the config from an FTP server, it did this once and now is in an endless loop of trying to contact the FTP server, failing, then rebooting. When I watch the FTP server logs it looks like the phone starts a session, ends it, starts it, ends it until the phone reboots. It is annoying like nothing I can describe! I have tried Windows 2003

I'm trying to figure out how to allow an extension to register more than once. For instance, I have all of these 4 line IP phones that I use with Asterisk and I would like to have a persons extension (say 101) ring at all four lines so that if the person is on the phone they can take another call, but it appears as though if you try to register the same extension more than once then the most

Is there a protocol I'm supposed to use here? It seems that people are asking 100 questions a day and SOMEONE is helping them, and I've posted this three times and not even an "I Don't Know". My third repost: Ok, I've been trying to figure out why my A@H won't answer the lines when I can call out and the panel shows the call coming in - well something bizarre has

Ok, I've been trying to figure out why my A@H won't answer the lines when I can call out and the panel shows the call coming in - well something bizarre has happened. I set up inbound routing to ring my extension if a call comes in - and my extension rings but when I pick it up I get a dial tone. The whole time after I answer I hear the phone I originated the call on just ring and ring

I'm not exactly sure how to phrase this, but I have two offices that I want to each have an * server. One office has two POTS lines coming in, the other has five. I'll call the two line office A and the other office B I want office A to be able to extension dial office B, which I think is straightforward enough because I'll just add a line in extensions.conf that points a particular

hello I am running Samba 2.2.8 (latest) that I downloaded the binary from the Samba site. I have this problem in older versions of Samba as well. I have under Redhat 8.0 security level = user works fine under NT/2000/XP platforms, but when I try to login from a Windows 95/98/98se/Me machine, samba prompts me for a password to resource \\netbiosname\IPC$ how do I prevent this from happening in

I have Asterisk 1.2 and a generic Wildcard single FXO card (a cheapo from eBay). I have read about many people who have used these cards without an issue and I'm just testing to work up a new system. The problem I have is that if I call the telephone number of the line attached to that card and have configured my incoming calls to, say, forward to an extension, then it will ring that

I have set up two Asterisk peers to use each others dialplans using 7+ the normal dialplan of the other server (i.e., 7101 dials extension 101 on the other server). I want to be able to ring an extension locally AND remotely at the same time when a call comes in but I don't know how to set up * to do a dial group that rings a remote server. So, if someone calls in it will ring extension

ok, I fixed the file permissions problem using chown... which is good. now, I am still having the problem in WIndows 98/Me. samba keeps prompting for a password to: //netbiosname//:IPC$ what in the heck is :IPC$???? it works fine in windows XP or 2000, so what am I doing wrong that it doesn't work in 98/Me? I tried reinstalling windows me on my daughters computer and running the windows

Most of the time, when someone calls in from the outside on a POTS line, and possibly over IAX as well, they don't hear any ringing sound while the internal SIP phones ring. If you call from an inside SIP phone, even forcing it into the incoming context, you hear the ringing. The outside calls can answer and talk fine; just no ring indication. Is there a setting that controls this?

Hi all - Been using Asterisk installed on Debian and love it. But it's time to rearrange some lines and looking for a few features I didn't enable or have in the dial plan the first time around and wondering if you would recommend doing it through configs again or if one of the prepackaged solutions would more easily support these needs. One that caught my eye was TrixBox but I'd be

Hi, I'm trying to get up and running a TDM400 with a standard italian pots line but i'm having problems at getting asterisk to detect when the line get answered on outgoing calls. I'm using asterisk 1.6 beta 9 with zaptel 1.4.11. I tried with and without answeronpolarityswitch=yes but it didn't change anything at all. With callprogress=yes answer get never detected. With

Hello! Attached to the bottom of this e-mail is an edited version of an e-mail I originally wrote to Digium tech support regarding Ouch and Power alarm errors I have been receiving on my TDM400. It contains a great deal of detail regarding my setup. In the end, I have found that one of the 5 phones I'm trying to make work with Asterisk is contributing to the generation of these errors.

Hello, This is my first asterisk installation, and having read up on the documentation, and trying several tutorials i'm unable to get my outbound route working. I'm certain it's an issue with my configuration and my inexperience with asterisk. So i have my POTS phone connected to my digium card, and when i make a call, I receive the "cannot be completed as dialed" message.

Thanks for you comments. I have the one port card now. I plan on purchasing the TDM400. My only question is whether or not the Dell optiplex has pci 2.1 (I think) I have one system running with the single port card. Today I received 2 sipura 2000 modules. Configured the first one tonight... Works great. Pat -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com
