thankyou both very much for your swift responses and helpful insight... While my knowledge of administrating Asterisk is fairly decent, i must say my knowledgebase and ability in troubleshooting it is fairly lousy... all these wonderful suggestions you have had about turning this log on here, etc sounds great, but i don't know where to begin on that! how do you recommend i turn these on or

I need to buy some new phones for our own offices. I've used only Polycom phones until now, but I'd like to broaden my experience. I'm trying to decide which phones to experiment with. I have these options: - A combination of Polycom, Aastra and Snom - Just Polycom One the one hand, I'd like to keep things uniform, since it greatly simplifies provisioning. On the other hand, I

Hey, all. We're rolling out VoIP, and I'm wondering about PoE recommendations, as we're going to have to replace our current network equipment. My first inclination would be to just plunk down the cash and do a Cisco system, but I'm relatively certain that would get shot down by finance. Any recommendations for a couple-hundred-port solution with VLANs, PoE, and QoS? Don't

Hello R-user, sorry for this very off-topic question. But I shall present R to my dept. (pro's and con's and what it can do). The pro's and con's are easy but not what R can do (additional to the "normal" statistics). I looked through the packages, but the enormous amount of packages makes it very difficult for me to decide which one is worth mentioning. I used

For some unfathomable reason, Siemens USA doesn't offer the Gigaset IP range in the U.S. I'm particularly interested in the Gigaset S685 IP. Since it's DECT 6.0, and there's an English (UK) version, I'm thinking it should work just fine, after dealing with the walwart issue (and maybe caller ID signalling). Anyone imported one from the UK and using it in the US? for how

Hi, Our operator frequently gets requests to transfer a call directly to voicemail in order for the caller to leave a message without disturbing the callee. Basicly, I'm looking for a blindxfer to vm. My first thought was to prepend a digit (eg 7) to the extension but this does not fit well with our dialplan. According to an article on voip-info.org Asterisk@Home appears to implement

Hi, I am having some issues with a new server install in Singapore. Outbound calls work fine. Inbound calls are not picked up by Asterisk. Zaptel 1.2.25 and Asterisk 1.2.28 both built from source. libpri installed wctdm and zaptel load without error Jun 6 23:34:03 fs01 kernel: [211138.372933] Zapata Telephony Interface Registered on major 196 Jun 6 23:34:03 fs01 kernel: [211138.372937]

I have some phones (and an ATA) that are shared between two users who each have separate voicemail but they are not behaving as desired nor expected. Incoming calls show up on the correct lines. Calls originating from the device are seen, at the terminating device, as coming from the account listed last in sip.conf, regardless of the line selected. This creates three main issues I would like

There is a way to ensure traffic prioritisation...but it can work out a little expensive. 1. Use 3Com 4400 PWR as your switch. 2. Use 3Com NJ200/NJ220 (US) or NJ205/NJ225 (EU) POE Multiport switches 3. Use 3CNJVOIP-CPOD POE --> 7960 POE/Data splitters for power and data connections to the phone. The 4400 Delivers Power to the NJ2xx switches, these switches have 4 ports which can be

Hi, We have a few Aastra 480ci phones and we've noticed that in order to get the phone to receive a call, qualify must be = no. Apparently the Aastras do not respond to the qualify message (or respond in a way Asterisk doesn't understand) and Asterisk thinks the phone is unreachable. However, this now prevents MWI from working properly on the phones. Does anyone know how to get MWI

Hello, 1. Is it possible to install several SIP softphones on the same PC, have them registered to the same Asterisk server and attribute to each softphone a specific extension, ringtones or call forwarding rules ? 2. Is possible to do the same with SIP hardphones ? Regards -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Having scoured the web, I still am no better off .. I have 2 Aastra480i's , and 120+ cisco 7940's :) . I am trying to decide which model to use going forward when we purchase more kit. They both seem much on a par regarding features. Q1: Is there anyway of making the cisco auto-answer _without_ having to manually edit the configuration on each phone ? I've been able to get the

Hello, I have been tearing my hair out on this issue for 2 days, any help would be appreciated. We have a normal network and a Cisco SGE2010P switch - a 48 port PoE switch There are two VLANs, 1(data) & 50(VoIP). When Polycoms are connected to the switch with VLAN 50 hard coded in the config they grab a DHCP address from VLAN 1, the PVID for the switch port. The ports have membership in

Hi, I'd set the daylight saving option to yes on all the GXP-2000 phones, but apparantly it doesn't move it an hour back on last sunday of October. So now I am stuck will all the phones showing the wrong time. Isn't there an option so that it'll automatically update daylight savings?

Hi I need a small PBX for use on the move. This means that outbound calls will need to be made over the cell phone network. Assuming a small hardware PBX with a spare mini-PCI slot or a USB slot then what hardware options do I have to get an outbound cellular channel? Options need to be rock solid, so no bluetooth to a cell phone kind of solutions need apply. Can any of the 3G usb

Grandstream GXP-2000 with firmware 1.1.4.18 (beta) fixes an issue where the phone did not send rtp keepalives when on mute (resulting in disconnect from tech support hold and concalls) A side effect seems to be that Asterisk pops the following warning on the console...

Ok, I have spent all night trying to figure this out, and hopefully somebody has a similar experience. I have a very basic asterisk config. Sample configs, with the only addition being by SIP phone, and my incoming voip. Last week I got everything setup, calls were working, etc.,. I cam across a tutorial for voicemail, followed it, and it worked. When I call my phone and dont answer, it goes

Hey! I have some RHEL6 hypervisors and the VMs are in raw qemu image files in a local raid array linux raid + lvm + ext3. When a kernel update is installed a reboot is necessary, usually it has been more than 180 days since the last reboot and the file system is fsck'd and this takes 2-3 hours. I am curious to know if there is any documentation that addresses the pro's and con's of
