hi We take calls inbound via SIP from our Cisco PSTN gateways, and pass it to customers using IAX (they run their own asterisk servers). We've noticed that asterisk is transcoding the call into a different codec, if the customer prefers a codec different to that which our cisco gw prefers. As such, the quality of the call can degrade. We'd rather asterisk just passed through the RTP

Hi All, I was made aware today that some of my calls coming in are not going to voicemail... Below are some logs, and the macro that should run on the incoming_pstn context for that extension. I can see that theres a non-zero exit before it gets to voicemail, but I've no idea why. In this case theres 2 SIP clients to sim-call. On other occasions it works fine. In the CDR logs, I can see

Hi folks - I've recently returned to asterisk after an eighteen month break. I've two sip providers - gradwell in the UK (inbound and outbound) and talklite in the US (outbound only). I've managed to get outbound dialing working but am not receiving any calls from gradwell. I've included my sip.conf and extensions.conf as well as the output from tethereal. When a call is placed

Hi Amit OK, the majority of our calls go out via zaptel fxo and pstn lines. When these are all busy, calls are routed via a VOIP provider here in the UK. All activity is recorded in our logs, and I can find no trace of either 999 or 112 (if since been reminded that in the UK, you can now also use 112 which is consistent with continental Europe). I can't find a call placed at the relevant

Does anyone here use either Gradewell or inWeb for service? They are both UK based. I'm trying to get a couple of inbound IAX2 based numbers from both of them to work with no luck at all. The one thing that sets these guys apart from the rest of companies offering inbound numbers is they tie the account to the IP of the asterisk server. Neither use register lines in iax.conf, there appears

Hi, I am using phpagi for agi scripting. and want to update callerid number but didn't get any success. please help me how to update PHPAGI is new for me. Below is the code which I write. #!/usr/bin/php -q <?php set_time_limit(30); //require(.phpagi.php.); include("phpagi.php"); $agi = new AGI(); //answer the call $agi-> answer();

I've been testing the debug version of AstTAPI, which worked for a few calls, then a bit later in the day (and ever since), when the call is hung up, the TAPI client doesn't get notified. Looking at the server logs, The TAPI message that is sent upon hangup, isn't being sent. exten => h,1,UserEvent(TAPI|TAPIEVENT: LINE_CALLSTATE LINECALLSTATE_IDLE) This is in the same context as

Hi list I've written a tool that works as a lightweight (standalone - no asterisk) balancer for IAX servers. It's in early development now, but seems to be stable enough and handles couple hundred simultaneous calls with not much latency (SIPp + asterisks tested). It's configurable by listing servers' IPs in iaxproxy-servers file loaded at startup and will keep track of load on

Hi All, I'm trying to debug DTMF issues I have with certain endpoint conferencing systems (external, 3rd party). On our A*k server I log DTMF, and I see that coming through in the log. What I'd like to see is what is sent onto our VoIP carrier over SIP. I can do a tcpdump of the packets, but what am I then looking for? Would it be in the RTP audio stream or within the SIP

I'm getting this error message and I don't really understand what rsync is trying to tell me:- rsync: link_stat "/rdiffBackup/gradwell/Mail/." failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] Can anyone explain what it's saying please. /rdiffBackup/gradwell/Mail/ does exist and is

Hi All, I'm looking for how to enable SIP Markers, or specifically, how to have the TIME reset when a call route changes. I'm debugging an issue, where a sip client we have switching to one-way-audio, when an asterisk server fruther down the call path dials out to the PSTN. Scenario is: SIP Client -> A*k1 -> A*k2 -> PSTN Provider/Gradwell -> O2 -> Mobile

All, I've been experimenting with shortcodes for SIPgate etc. Passing calls to SIPbroker seems a good way to go, but the message I've had back from SIPgate is "we don't support SIPBroker"... So whats the easiest way to support SIP <> SIP network calling? At the moment, I've setup some local shortcodes (eg dial **777. to goto sipgate.co.uk) based on what Gradwell

Hi, I realise this is probably the wrong list for such a question, but I need a pointer to somewhere I can get some feedback on experience of (business class) voip providers for the UK? Situation is that we are currently with Gradwell and use them for an inbound/outbound single line for a business and their quality has gone from excellent to abysmal in the last few weeks. I'm sure they

I am considering using iax.cc (sixtel) and wondering if anyone had opinions, good or bad. Are there outages with any regularity? How responsive are tech support? How is packet loss? I am particularly interested in termination to the UK, but will accept any comments people have.

Hi All, I've a single 1.2.17 Asterisk system. Gradwell here in the UK is used for PSTN calls via IAX2. Our 'net link is a dedicated 2Mb fibre connection (of which we have ever used 50% max bandwidth). We've no E1/T1 links, everything is IP based. My boss complains that many of the calls he holds with others has a bad quality. He also says that its not just him. My iax.conf file

Hi All, If I had a large block of code, eg: [outgoing-pstn-gradwell] ; the caller ID convertion assumes that the last two digits of the callers id ; are mapped to the last two digits of the PSTN number. exten => _0.,1,ExecIF($["${RECORDOUTBOUND}"="TRUE"],Monitor,wav|${TIMESTAMP}-${CA LLERID(num)}-${EXTEN}-${UNIQUEID}.WAV) exten =>

Hi Can anyone provide me with a Manchester (0161) UK DID number, preferably IAX2 but SIP is ok too, that I can use for my incoming calls? Call volume will be low. The critical thing is that DTMF must be correctly passed 100% of the time, unlike Sipgate, my current (free) provider, whose DTMF detection/passing is not at all reliable, making it useless for a virtual receptionist scenario. I

Hi All, I've a 1.4.15 A*k server supporting several users (approx 80 total, but <10 sim calls usually). I've one user who complains of intermittent bad calls, though I suspect the bad calls are across the board, but intermittent. Inbound calls are via in IAX trunk from Gradwell. CPU stats say that Asterisk never uses more than 4-5% cpu, systems idle besides that. Memory seems

Hi, I've got different customers that may use the same asterisk. Each user can blind-transfer a call to whatever place they want. But of course the transferring side should be billed for it. What can I do to see the difference between the channels here? If there is an A->B call going on, I'd like to know which side did the transfer - but whichever side does it, I get back to context
