Hi Friends, I have successfully implemented Intercom, Voicemail and International dialing using Asterisk. Now I want to connect my PSTN Lines to Asterisk server. I have 3 PSTN number (lines) to connect to Asterisk. For this, I want to use Sipura SPA-2100. Is my decession is correct or not? Is there any disadvantages with this Sipura SPA-2100? Please tell me. Thank you. Regards, Chandramouli

Hi all, I'm new to the list, so I apologize in advance if I'm beating a dead horse by asking this, but I read somewhere that asterisk 1.4 has MWI working for Avaya and their rather troublesome SIP firmware. Can anyone verify this before I go changing phone systems around? Thanks Derek -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Does anybody know of any IP phones (ideally SIP based) that have interfaces to plug into a pro audio system (eg for phone interviews). Something can probably be hacked up with a headset connector or the 1/8" jacks on a 7970 but I'm wondering if there's something better out there. Thanks, Julien

Hi all, I've got a fairly simple setup, a 4 port zaptel T1 card with 1 PRI and 2 flat e&m T1's coming into it, and its working perfectly except for one small thing. When people dial any of the numbers on either the PRI or the T1 from outside of the pbx, they dont get the "ringing" sound. It just directly connects the call. I know this isnt much, but its started to

Does anyone know of any startups using Asterisk? What about established companies? Ones that are hiring would be nice.... :) Doug.

Dear Friends, We have implemented "Asterisk" in our organization. There are 150 members in our organization. At present all are using softphones. Now, I want to buy hardphones for our staff. Can anybody suggest me that what is the best hardphone for Asterisk with low-cost? Thank you. Regards, Chandra. --------------------------------- Ring'em or ping'em. Make PC-to-phone

http://www.x100p.com/products_2.htm Anyone ever use this box? How's it compare with the Iaxy? I'd like to buy one or the other.. The Iaxy is appealing because to me, it seems less "no name", but this one says that it supports using hostnames, whereas apparently the iaxy only supports IP addresses?? That's appealing to the dynamic DNS guy in me! :-) Any

I'm trying to understand something that just doesn't seem to compute. How can companies like Cisco justify selling their hard phones for as much as they do? I know there is a matter of recouping R&D costs but when you look at the iPhone with all its amazing features for less than $500.00 it just doesn't make sense. Am I the only one that thinks this?

Has anyone on here used kiax before? I am asking because I have it installed on several computers and have been able to get it to connect and register to my Asterisk box. I can even call between them and my SIP softphones. The problem I am having is this: when I use kiax to call someone else, they get some kind of background music playing while I am talking to them. I have called from kiax to

Can anyone recommend a good cordless user-configurable SIP hardphone that is readily available in the states and doesn't cost $300? There seem to be a plethora of decent and affordable corded phones (like from Grandstream) but the search for a cordless unit seems elusive. I purchased a vtech 8100 online only to discover after receiving it that it is locked to vonage service. Thank you.

I have a TDM-400P with one FXO module. On an incoming call, I have set Asterisk to dial my phone (exten => s,1,Dial(IAX2/carey)), which is basically the only thing in my dialplan. When the call is answered by the PSTN phone first, or when the ringing call is hung up, Asterisk keeps ringing for 5+ seconds, which causes trouble (the answering of already answered calls). I noticed in the

I have asterisk running more or less ok but I would like to turn off call waiting and be selective about the incoming sip connections. This is running asterisk 1.2.8 with a fxs and fxo card and a configured voip (sip) line. Currently I'm using freePBX 2.1.1 to configure asterisk. Problem 1) if someone is on the phone already and another call comes in for an already engaged extension I

Hello everyone. I had heard about this open-source PBX once a while back. I wasn't too interested in it at the time but I kept the info filed away for possible future use. A couple of days ago, I was walking around Barnes and Nobles and I found this book, called Asterisk: The Future of Telephony. I paged through it a little and I was really excited by what I read. Then I remembered the

Hi, I have Asterisk 12.7.1 installed through Asterisk@Home CD. and explicitly I have installed UnixODBC and FREETDS in order to access MS SQL 2000 Database which in on Windows 2003 Server on remote location. I tested connectivity through isql and tsql, both utilities are working fine. I need to access MS SQL 2000 Database through PHP. When I tired to check the connectivity through a Test PHP

Hello all, We've discovered that VoIP (IAX2) + Citrix + Video is pegging the measly CPU on the Netopia router our ISP provided. We've got 3Mb/3Mb and will increase to 4/4 next year. The Netopia simply breaks out our WAN IPs, and we've got a switch hooked up to it on the inside (Actually I've got a QoS box in-between). ------------- | Internet | | on Cat5 | -------------

Hi all, Just a quick query about something that my manager has asked about. While I have talked with Asterisk people about this before, I forget the actual answer. We currently have an ISDN 30 installed on a Dell 2850, using a single port Digium ISDN card. We would like to add an analogue card, plug our fax machine in and have Asterisk simply detect the fax and pass it through to the fax

Basically, I am looking to set up an extension which will be used as a "help-line". I want it to function kind of like the bat phone from the old Batman series, where Commissioner Gordon would pick up the extension in his office and it would ring the phone back at Wayne's mansion. Is there a way to duplicate this functionality with Asterisk? I just need asterisk to auto-dial an

How do I set configure my voicemail notification so that when I'm left a voicemail message it: 1) sends an e-mail to my inbox with the voicemail message attached 2) sends a message to my cellphone without the message attached I get notifications when I've got attachments turned off, but my cell doesn't like attachments in the messages and doesn't send them. An even better

Hello, I need to buy an ultrabook. Any recommendations for something that would work out of the box more or less? I do not want a Chromebook (or anything ARM) or one of these new "touch" laptops, in fact I'm after a nice matte screen. Budget is modest-ish (?500/$800) so dont go crazy. :) Thanks! -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! Nux! www.nux.ro
