Here is something I wrote years ago.

Hi all. I'm in the process of configuring a phone system for my family and friends. I'm wondering if I should try to implement the "Vertical Services" (http://www.nanpa.com/number_resource_info/vsc_assign) in the Asterisk dialplan, or if I should delegate those functions to the various ATA's. For example, the Sipura SPA 2002 can handle*69 internally. On the other

Hi all, Lately, I've been seeing more and more instances where I get a flood of warning messages like this: [Apr 26 14:09:50] WARNING[21054] udptl.c: No UDPTL ports remaining The next thing I know, my server is dropping calls and starting to misbehave. I use fax via T.38, so I can't just turn udptl off. I could expand the port range, but I suspect that will just mask the situation.

Hi all. I'm looking to change from a standard telephone line to a VoIP phone line at home. I'm looking for recommendations for VoIP providers that I can use with Asterisk. One of the catches is that I often telecommute and sometimes I do some side business; these practices violate many provider's acceptable use policies. So, I need a provider who doesn't care how I use the

Hi all, I've trying to fix a problem. If I'm in a call and I press the * key, the call goes silent but doesn't hang up. I need to be able to send the * key for various IVR's that I interact with. Since I thought this was related to the features.conf file, you can view it at: http://www.diehlnet.com/features.conf Any ideas are welcome. TIA, -- Mike Diehl

Hi all, I seem to be having a strange problem with a sip trunk. On a fairly frequent basis, I'll make a call, ore receive a call, and there will be NO sound. The strange part is that both endpoints are public IP addresses so NAT isn't in play and a sniffer trace reveals that the packets simply aren't being sent. It only seems to happen on a particular trunk. The same phone

Hi all, I'm trying to configure a few conference bridges.

Hi all, I've got a new server up, but it's not staying up.... After a day or so, it segfaults with: [Mar 22 23:17:49] WARNING[12177]: res_odbc.c:1406 _ast_odbc_request_obj2: SetConnectAttr (Txn isolation) returned an error: HY000: [MySQL][ODBC 5.2(a) Driver]You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use

Hi all, I've got a device that seems to become unreachable for about 2 minutes, every hour. From what I can tell, it isn't due to network or server issues. Any ideas? TIA. -- Mike Diehl Diehlnet Communications, LLC. Voice: (505) 903-5700 Fax: (505) 903-5701

Hi all, I'm trying to tighten things up a bit and I seem be be running into something that doesn't make sense to me. I've got 2 contexts, one for customers, and one for guests, that I include into [customers] and [default], in extensions.conf, as below: ============================================================= [default] include = dial_GUEST [customers] include = parkedcalls

I've noticed that artsd sometimes eats as much as 20% of CPU when idle. This is on my old laptop (where playing MP3s eats up to 50-60% of CPU). On newer faster processors this would probably go unnoticed (if it eats 20% on Pentium MMX, on Pentium 4 it might be around 1-2% or even lower). Just wondering if anybody else noticed this behaviour? -------------- next part -------------- A

Hi all, Is it possible to send a SIP header to a PAP2T or SPAxxxx and cause the device to automatically answer? I can do this with my Polycom phones and would like to do it with my ATA's. Any ideas? -- Take care and have fun, Mike Diehl.

Hi all, I've cross-posted this to the -users and -biz groups. Hope that's OK. I have a customer who REALLY needs to be able to send/receive faxes reliably. I could probably get hylafax configured, but I'm not sure how reliable it is. If it is considered reliable, would someone let me know? Otherwise, is there a product/service they can buy that will allow them to fax to/from

Hi all, I have 2 servers running 1.6.2.9 and I'm about to build a third server. This suggests the possibility of doing a rolling upgrade of all of my servers. This brings up the question of what version to install and upgrade to. I don't have many upgrade opportunities, so I'd like to get as much bang for my buck. Since I've applied some custom patches to my 1.6, I'd

Hi all. I could have sworn this working at one time... But it doesn't look like any of the functions provided by features.so is working for me. (one-touch monitoring, attended/blind transfer, etc) I've (re)loaded features.so, as well as bridge_builtin_features.so. The config file looks sane. What else should I try? TIA, -- Take care and have fun, Mike Diehl.

Hi all, Does anyone have any good/bad comments on the A1200P 12-port fxo/fxs card from OpenVox? I'll be using one to with 8-12 fxo interfaces.? The cards will be plugging into a cable-modem / phone adapter.? We weren't able to port the numbers, so we're going to use the existing PSTN connection and replace all of the office phones. With these short distances, will I need to worry

Hi all, I'm trying to get moh working on * version 1.4.4. I've setup a test extension that answers the call and runs the musiconhold command with the appropriate class name. All I get on the phone is silence. The console tells me that moh started and immediately stopped, but it complains that there is "No class: moh0" *CLI> [Feb 22 12:17:36] WARNING[31142]:

Hi all, I need to be able to delete a voicemail message using a program. Is is sufficient to simply delete the .wav and .txt files in the spool directory? Or do I need to also renumber the remaining files? For example, let say a given mailbox has 20 messages in it and I want to delete message number 5. Can I just delete the 2 files and expect that asterisk will renumber them? Or do I

Hi all, While trying to track down a T.38 issue, I came across a series of log entries like this: ============================================================================ [Jan 26 10:23:31] WARNING[32508]: udptl.c:948 ast_udptl_new_with_bindaddr: Unable to allocate socket: Too many open files [Jan 26 10:23:31] ERROR[32508]: acl.c:488 ast_ouraddrfor: Cannot create socket
