I'm trying to duplicate a behavior we had with our old avaya system, and I've come across Auto Answer (Ring Answer). However, its not quite the same yet. Right now, when I dial **5053, it will add the SIP header for Ring Answer and it will call 5053. The phone auto pickups just fine. However, we need that call to be muted. If you were to call into a meeting, we wouldn't want them to

So I might have a bit of a more narrow question from my earlier one. Previous, I had been wondering what would cause a phone dialing into a DID that connects to the asterisk box to get a fast busy. I've noticed the following message: chan_zap.c: Ring requested on unconfigured channel 0/1 span 2 Any idea what would give me this error? And would this cause a fast busy? Thanks again everyone

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has had much experience with Realtime Asterisk. I like the ability to setup my extensions and voicemail boxes in MySQL, but I have a huge worry. What if MySQL crashes. I played with rtcachefriends, but can't seem to find a way to have asterisk store the extension information to ensure the phones will continue to work even if MySQL has a hiccup. Any

I've been able to page to a specific phone (intercom type of thing), but I'd like to have a macro or agi that pages all phones but first checks if their on the phone. It looked like there used to be a pageall.agi type of script on the wiki, but that link isn't valid anymore. Does anyone have that script, or something else that would work? I would just do SIP/1000&SIP/1001, but

We have a location that is having a really odd issue. We have a sangoma POTs card. We are running software echo cancellation with the card (through asterisk) to try to eliminate some major echoing problems. I've turned on both EC and echotrain, which seemed to have gotten rid of the echo for the most part. However, we are now running into an issue where the outside caller hears a star wars

Hey all, I had a user complaining of calls which were dropping mid-conversation. I looked into the time of one of the calls, and saw the following: Apr 4 12:13:03 WARNING[6670] chan_zap.c: No D-channels available! Using Primary channel 28 as D-channel anyway! Apr 4 12:13:05 WARNING[6660] channel.c: Avoided initial deadlock for '0x82b8430', 10 retries! Apr 4 12:13:05 WARNING[6660]

I'm sure this was asked before, but I can't seem to make this work... If a customer dials one of our DIDs, and the operator transfers that call to another employee, the Caller ID doesn't seem to do what I would expect it to. I would expect it to show the original caller's ID. Example: John calls in from the outside using (213-555-1234) and he calls into the asterisk system

We are trying to use a softphone from a location that is behind a firewall. We are using x-lite as the softphone. So far, we've been able to get the phone to register with the asterisk server, and it can receive voice from the asterisk server (IE, voicemail, etc). However, asterisk can't hear anything from the softphone. We have used 2 different machines to test this on. We are watching

I'm having a problem getting my queue to function as it should. After 20 seconds or so, it should prompt the user with a message "thanks for holding..... press # to leave a message or stay on the line to continue holding". I set up the "context" in the queues.conf file, so if a user presses a digit, they should be able to leave. But I get a SIP BUSY message. Here are my

Hoping someone out there has run into this or has some ideas for us. We currently have asterisk set up with Realtime (using mysql) for its extensions,sip and voicemail files. The problem we are trying to solve, is one of a failover mechanism. What if our mysql server went down. Can Realtime be set up with a secondary mysql server to get its data from. We can set up mysql to sync with its fellow

We're trying to get a SIP peer going between our asterisk box and our provider. It should then ring our phone. The call does come in and it does execute the extension in the dial plan. But the provider says they never get a 200 OK back and therefore they send another INVITE and then after a few seconds drop the call. Here's our setup: sip.conf [ngt-trunk] type=peer qualify=yes port=5060

<Correction in my zapata.conf file I used> Hey Everyone, So this is a problem I've been having for sometime now. I sent a few messages to the list with no luck. The problem is that when people dial into the Asterisk system using DID numbers, it works the first time or 2, then I get busy signals. A friend recommended I clear out the zapata and zaptel, start over, and recreate my

We just finished an upgrade of our Asterisk system to an HA environment on a pair of servers using Linux-HA. As part of the upgrade, we also moved to Asterisk version 1.8.4.3 Most things are working quite nicely on the new system. However, I?m having trouble getting a paging feature to work. In Asterisk 1.4, we simply used the Page() application like this:

One of the features that I thought would be popular with the Web-MeetMe suite is the ability to start all non-admin callers in a muted state and selectively unmute them. For example any large conference that is of an announcment nature with a Q&A session. It's probably a feature I should have tested better, but I just discovered that a caller that is joined to a MeetMe with the |m flag

hi all, I have a little question about meetme in Asterisk. One of my client ask me that all call can, if is necessary, become conference for 3-4 user during conversation. I think that are 2 way for make this: 1- all call (instead if the users are only 2) are conference 2- using n-way call (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+n-way+call+HOWTO) I decide to implement the first way because

Hi, folks. I have a problem using Asterisk 1.2. I create conferences using app_meetme and Zap channels, and for every participant I run the script defined by AGI_BACKGROUND_SCRIPT to be able to listen and react to DTMF tones. As the docs tell me, when using the AGI background script one loses the ability to control the meetme conference via the command line so for muting conference participants I

Hi, I setup an MeetMe conference. So, the admin user calls and enter the conference in talk/listen mode. (Options : dAaxs) Then other users call the same conference and enters in muted mode (options: dlmx) How can the admin user decide, when he is ready to let everybody speaks ? I didn't find such option in the admin menu. Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Hello, I've search through all of the lists and cannot find any descriptions of live monitoring (monitoring a phone call going on between an extension and a zaptel channel live from another extension while the monitoring phone is muted). I am aware of the monitor function which is actually a call recorder, but I'm looking for live monitoring from a muted extension. is this easily

I've noticed a growing number of stores using FRS radios. It would make sense to interface (via soundcard/console driver, with the nessacary electrical conversion) a VOX FRS radio to asterisk to allow someone in the office to page/talk with people on the floor or warehouse. You could throw that call (ie, all the radios) into a meetme conference. Then, you could have people in the office

Hi all, Here's our setup: Asterisk 1.4.18 Agx-ast-addons 1.4.5 Problem: When accepting a fax, the fax itself comes through just fine, and it does successfully create a tiff file. However, the dialplan should be executing a system command right after that completes, but isn't due to hanging up early. I'm getting a cause 16 hangup, which I believe is a "Normal Hangup", but
