Hello, I am having a lot of trouble with my deployment of Asterisk. I am running the PBX-In-a-flash turnkey of Asterisk and ever since deployment I have had many different problems. I have managed to get all issues sorted out as I go along, until this one that randomly began last week. We are using Grandstream GXP 2000 Handsets in the office, and at TE110P card to interface to our ISDN OnRamp10

I have a _very_ specific situation where I need queues to work in a very specific manner - I need the queue to only accept one call at a time, even though several phones are attached to it. My memory tells me that queues might have even worked this way in the distant past (pre 1.0)...but I am willing to be mistaken. Is this even remotely possible? PaulH

Any idea how to read an external file, grab some stuff and push it back into an Asterisk variable? I can do it the other way with: system(echo "${UNIQUEID} =>" >> /home/ast/curr_calls) but I'm a bit stumped on how to go the other way around.... much thanks, Paul Hales

Hi, I explain what I want to do.. All the operators share their phones. The number of the operator isn't constant, so it's possible that two operators share all the phones. They need to move all around, so they pick up the first phone they find. If there are only few operator is very annoying for them to ear the other phones ringing while they are at the phone! So I'dd like to limit

Hello, it is now 2am presently where i am and i have been at work since 8am yesterday. I am not allowed to go home unless i get this system up and running, else i shouldnt expect a job when i come back :s... now that you have some background, I am having no luck installing these two cards - i have already confirmed they are on their own IRQ etc, and if i run genzaptelconf, they are coming up

Does anyone know of any startups using Asterisk? What about established companies? Ones that are hiring would be nice.... :) Doug.

When I bought two Polycom 501 SIP phones, I naively thought they were Power-over-Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) because they were "powered over ethernet." Silly me. Polycom must have some odd voltage or funny way of injecting the power, because the POE switch I bought for them (Netgear F@510P) won't power them, though if I use the Polycom-supplied AC adapter and ethernet power

Does anybody know of any IP phones (ideally SIP based) that have interfaces to plug into a pro audio system (eg for phone interviews). Something can probably be hacked up with a headset connector or the 1/8" jacks on a 7970 but I'm wondering if there's something better out there. Thanks, Julien

I have been discussing an asterisk solution with a company that has a custom written dialogic based solution. The issue is that their dialogic solution can read callerid from incoming calls, even if the callerid is blocked. I have read before that Asterisk can do this, and they want me to make sure that their new system will be able to do this. A quick poke around inside the zaptel source code

Just wondering what web GUI people like for asterisk. I installed asterisk from source and I was looking at possibly installing web GUI for system management. So far freepbx.org looks promising anybody else have any suggestions.

Is there a way to specify multiple email addresses in voicemail.conf for a specific user? I seem to remember that it was possible, but can't remember the character to separate the email addresses. (I tried '&', but that didn't work...) later, PaulH

I am trying to send 'codes' over an isdn2 link - such as *#24# - to activate call forwarding. But it doesn't work. I have tried sending it as a straight dial, and also as a DTMF string...but no luck... I spoke to a telco tech and he said I had to send a facility code....huh? Anyone with any ideas on this one? PaulH

I need to carry a variable over into the 'h' priority - so I can go back and clean up DB entries in a mysql database (time of call and so on) I tried using UNIQUEID but it seems that 'h' generates a new one. Anyone have any ideas? What can I use to carry a variable over into 'h'?? later, PaulH

Hi Which is the best interface card to connect PSTN line with Asterisk. Can somebody please help. My intention is to route the incoming PSTN calls to internal IP Phones through Asterisk and Vice versa. The Asterisk is in LAN and is reachable from all the IP phones in the LAN.

Hi, I am trying to implement the callback feature of our old phone system. This feature may go by a different name in asterisk? It worked as follows. If phone A called phone B and it was BUSY, you press a button to enable a callback. User A is free to continue work or make other calls. What this meant is that when both phones became free, phone A would ring, on answer it would call phone B

Hi guys, I've been using a Polycom IP 301 for a couple of weeks now and find that it's extremely slow for configuring. For instance, it takes several minutes to boot up, apply any changes via the web interface takes at least a minute, etc. Is this normal behaviour? Is there anything that can be done about it? Thanks, -- Nick e: nick.hoffman@altcall.com p: +61 7 5591 3588 f: +61 7 5591

I've been playing with Asterisk for a few weeks and it's working great. I have a question about getting multi-line receptionist phones working. I was thinking about getting one of these expansion ports: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/products_data_sheet0 9186a008008883d.html What are people using for receptionist phones that show all the extensions in
