In Asterisk 1.2.13 in app/app_voicemail.c, line 4700 ext_pass_cmd is checked to decide whether to use vm_change_password or vm_change_password_shell to change a user's password for his voicemail account. I wonder, what is the difference between vm_change_password and vm_change_password_shell - what is that shell? The only reference I found on the Internet was the following bug report:

Dear all, I've recently installed Asterisk and am trying to understand where exactly Asterisk 'fits' in my VOIP architecture. Can/does Asterisk work as a proxy? (or only as a register server?) I am specifically interested in SIP. Could anyone perhaps point me out to a diagram with SIP users and Asterisk to better understand how I should set up my network? Thank you

I'm wondering if anyone is having problems when multiple users concurrently change their voicemail passwords. Consider the following scenario (based on vm_change_password() in app_voicemail.c): - user1 wishes to change his password so voicemail.conf is opened and read into a buffer - user1 changes his password - user2 wishes to change his password so voicemail.conf is opened and read into a

I understand this function (line 832 in app_voicemail.c) is used to retrieve a voice message. What I don't understand however is why ".txt" is appended to the end of the filename. Could someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks, Jez if (msgnum > -1) make_file(fn, sizeof(fn), dir, msgnum); else ast_copy_string(fn, dir, sizeof(fn)); snprintf(full_fn, sizeof(full_fn),

I installed Asterisk 1.0.9 in a Freebsd 5.4 ( with no zaptel card); I have 2 zoom x5v and works great ( in extensions 123 and 321 ) but I was trying to test cmd Playback, MusicOnHold, MP3Player but when I call to extension 100 I don't hear the sound ( mp3 or gsm that I put) , I only hear noise If I leave a message in a mailbox the same, all the record is noise --------- extensionns.conf

Hi all, My latest Asterisk system is based on Debian squeeze with Asterisk 1.6.2.6-1 and SIP only. One of my favorite features that I had working with Asterisk 1.4 is the PrivacyManager. However, this was not straightforward, because anonymous SIP calls arrive with ${CALLERID(num)} = "anonymous", instead of being blank. So, to get it to work I added the first three rules to

Hi all, Previously, I had the PrivacyManager working for me exactly as would be expected, but after upgrading the OS to Debian lenny and Asterisk to v1.4.21.2 that's no longer the case. Anonymous callers are still confronted with the PrivacyManager, but now no matter what I set the minlength value to, e.g.: exten => jaap,n,PrivacyManager(1,1) ... (I'm not using a

I am having issues with Privacy Manager and Zapateller. If I set callerid="" on a sip user zapateller sends the tones If I set callerid="Anonymous" <8475551212> zapateller doesn't send the tones If I call from a phone after dialing *67 zapateller doesn't send the tones In the last 2 cases, the display on the phone shows -Blocked Call- PrivacyManager always gives

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I am running into some problems here with PrivacyManager. We used to use it without any issue, but now there seems to be several problems. We are currently running Asterisk 1.2.4. First, it seems that if the user does not press the pound (#) key after entering their number, PrivacyManager will fail. I have the minlength set to 10, and

Hi, now I've got caller id working on my BT line in the UK, I'd like to play a different message to those pesky sort who with hold their outgoing number. How can I do this in my extensions.conf for my [incoming-analog] context? I realise some people may call who are unable to change the way that their system withholds the outbound number, so I'll give them chance to leave a voice

Hi All, In theory if I do this; exten => s,1,Zapateller(nocallerid) exten => s,2,Privacymanager exten => s,3,Dial(a bunch of SIP extensions) My callers should only hear the anti-telemarketing tones if they call from a line that has no caller*ID and then get offered an opportunity to enter it, right? What I'm finding is that in the event of no CID the caller gets dumped into the

Hi, I wanted to get some opinions on this subject before I submit a PR about it. I don't know if there are any pitfalls with the 'fix' I suggested and though it best to run it past people here before submitting. If there's a better place to post this please let me know (freebsd-ports?). The send-pr output I was about to send explains everything so I'll just paste it here:

I have been having problems getting PrivacyManager to work correctly. Right now I am running the 1/21/05 CVS but I have been unable to get this to work on asterisk-stable either. You can see from the debug below that the inbound call is arriving via IAX2 and both the CALLING NUMBER and CALLING NAME are both set as "Unavailable". However, PrivacyManager executes and determines that

Hi, why would Asterisk core dump with the following test dialplan extension ? exten => 8100,1,Answer() exten => 8100,n,Set(CALLERID(all)="") exten => 8100,n,PrivacyManager() exten => 8100,n,GotoIf(${[${PRIVACYMGRSTATUS} = FAILED]}?:nocid) exten => 8100,n,NoOp(Number is ${CALLERID(num)}) exten => 8100,n,Hangup() exten => 8100,n(nocid),Playback(vm-goodbye) exten

Hey all...I'm just getting my * setup and right now all I have is an FXO but no FXS. I wan't to get rid of telemarketers by having * pick up the phone if there is no CID present, give the caller the Zapateller tones and then ask the user to input their phone number via Privacy Manager (yes I realize that this won't get us any where given that I can't re-ring the phones without FXS

I have a problem receving calls via the ISDN line, using the followin components Asterisk 1.0.9 with asterisk@home chan_capi-cm-0.6 AVM Fritz card datalink protocol = point to multimode I can make calls out with no problems so the issue is only incoming calls. When I make the call from an external line to the ISDN line connected to asterisk, I get a busy signal after about 5 seconds. I have

Hi all, I'm looking for some rudimentary insight on GotoIf() which seems to be failing on me in my dial plan. All I basically wish to do is block a particular caller. Sounds easy enough, but my ternary operator/plan currently is not properly being implemented. Can anyone spot where I'm being a momo? All extensions get forwarded to the following macro: [macro-forward] ; arg1 = phone

Hi all, Is it possible to display or print variables in Asterisk (e.g. in the CLI) for debugging purposes? For example, I'm using two different types of SIP phones: the Snom M3 and the Siemens S675IP. However, when anonymous callers submit a number to the PrivacyManager, only the Siemens displays the new CID correctly; the Snom shows "unknown" (even though the new CID looks

I am attempting to write in incoming context for calls. 1. If the caller id is given and it is not black listed it will Playback a greeting and then right the phone or go to voicemail under busy or unavailable conditions 2. If no caller id is given, then Privacy Manager will ask for the number. I am testing 6145551212 to see if the black list will work 3. If a caller id is given, and it is

Hello-- I've been playing with the privacy options on my home/home-office system since August last year, and have some results, gleaned from my CDR records, which over the last 13 months, number a total of 8672, which includes incoming, as well as outgoing calls. Before I start spitting out numbers, let me note that with the current setup, I haven't had to tell a single telemarketer
