Hi list, Before purchasing a number of Siemens DECT SIP phones, the Gigaset S675 IP, I read that the problems with MWI had been fixed with the latest firmware version (see http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Siemens+Gigaset+S675IP). Now I'm not so sure that's the case. After setting up a network mailbox for one of these phones, as well as an Asterisk voicemail account (ext.

Hi list, The default file name format for touch monitor (automon) recordings is: auto-${EPOCH}-caller-calee It's possible to use the ${TOUCH_MONITOR} variable to change the 'caller-calee' part, but what about the 'auto-${EPOCH}-' part? I've been trying to use ${MONITOR_EXEC_ARGS} to add some more commands after the somix sequence for mp3 conversion. This should

Hi list, After wrestling with the voicemail system for a while (Asterisk 1.4.14, Debian etch), I got it to work, but I still have lots of questions, like: * Why can't I delete any voicemail messages? (Response: "Message undeleted.") * Why can't I listen to the messages in the Old folder? * Why can't I use the advanced options? (Response:

Hi list, Has anyone been able to get ISDN-BRI support to work reliably on Asterisk 1.4? If so, I'd love to know how you did it (hardware, distro, kernel, modules, versions, config files). I've tried to get it to work on a Debian etch system with an HFC-PCI card and the zaptel package (v1.4.7, also from xorcom.com), but with no luck: all three channels that are created when the

I thought it was quite easy to implement but I cannot get one-touch recording to work. Here are the changes what I did: I restarted Asterisk after the change (because reload does not work for changes in features.conf). I press *1 on the Polycom IP600 phone to record a conversation but no new wav file appear in /var/spool/asterisk/monitor or elsewhere. Test A: Outside line calling in

Hi folks, My client and I are having a problem getting a portable Esaote ultrasound machine to connect to a Samba server. The unit has an integrated laptop with a Windows XP version that can hardly be modified. Upon delivery the vendor only changed the user name and workgroup for us. When I asked for the user password to make a matching Samba account, the vendor refused because they use

Hi folks, Following an upgrade to Debian wheezy, I'm now running Asterisk 1.8.13.1. As opposed to Asterisk 1.6.2.9 that I ran with squeeze, this version can support IPv6. However, it seems that I can't get it to support both IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time. For example, if in sip.conf I set the bindaddr variable to '::' it will only listen on IPv6 and none of my IPv4-only

Hi folks, Following an upgrade from Debian squeeze to wheezy, and Asterisk 1.6.2.9 to 1.8.13, my server is no longer able to register a connection to a SIP account at my ISP (XS4ALL in the Netherlands). At the same time, it is still able to register a different account with another SIP provider, so it must be that they no longer have the same basic requirements. The relevant part of my

Hi list, After a recent upgrade to Asterisk v1.4.14, my message log is now filling up with the following error messages: <-------------> [Dec 29 17:24:52] WARNING[10655]: chan_sip.c:6645 determine_firstline_parts: Bad request protocol Packet --- (1 headers 0 lines) --- bitis*CLI> <--- SIP read from 82.101.62.99:5060 ---> Cirpack KeepAlive Packet <-------------> Seeing

Hi list, After recently setting up voicemail for Asterisk 1.4.14 on my Debian etch server, I noticed that I can't delete any old voicemail messages. The voicemail menu option "Press 7 to delete this message" is available, but when I press 7 the response is always "message undeleted" and the message is still there. What could I be missing here? Thanks, Jaap

Hi all, On an Asterisk/Zaptel 1.4 system, one way to gather diagnostic info is: ~# cat /proc/zaptel/* Span 1: ZTHFC1 "HFC-S PCI A Zaptel Driver card 0 [TE]" (MASTER) AMI/CCS 1 ZTHFC1/0/1 Clear (In use) 2 ZTHFC1/0/2 Clear (In use) 3 ZTHFC1/0/3 HDLCFCS (In use) Span 2: ZTHFC2 "HFC-S PCI A Zaptel Driver card 1 [TE]" AMI/CCS 4 ZTHFC2/0/1 Clear 5 ZTHFC2/0/2

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 list, The default automon (touch monitor) output file name format is: auto-epoch-caller-callee.wav A variable is available to modify the second half: auto-epoch-${TOUCH_MONITOR}.wav But, I can't modify the first half, 'auto-epoch-', with any variables that I know of, including ${MONITOR_FILENAME}. I want to immediately convert this output file to mp3, e.g. with

Hi folks, Has anyone encountered the following PCI passthrough error? error: internal error Process exited while reading console \ log output: char device redirected to /dev/pts/1 assigned_dev_pci_read: pread failed, ret = 0 errno = 2 It's produced after I've detached the PCI device from the base OS and have tried to start up the guest domain.

Hi list, Now that I've got my Asterisk server to recognize my HFC-PCI card, I've run into some serious problems. The first thing I noticed was this message that would show up every five seconds on the CLI: Dec 27 15:46:42 WARNING[12484]: chan_zap.c:2512 pri_find_dchan: No D-channels available! Using Primary channel 3 as D-channel anyway! == Primary D-Channel on span 1 down

Hi all, My Asterisk problem today involves getting a SIP client on a private net to register with a server somewhere else on the Internet. This worked for me about a year ago no problem, but now I see an error message on the remote server every time the client attempts to connect (the server is running Debian lenny with Asterisk 1:1.4.21.2~dfsg-3). Here's an example: [Nov 11

Hi list, Hopefully, some of our Dutch members can help with this one. I'm also based in the Netherlands and am using a Sipura (Linksys) SPA-3000 (firmware v3.1.10(GWd)) as a PSTN to VoIP gateway for my Asterisk test system. It works fine, except that the Called ID (CID) is not working. I'm aware that KPN (our local telco) requires a separate subscription to activate CID on POTS

Hi folks, My site uses puppetmaster 3.2.3 together with Debian wheezy, but I want a few packages from wheezy-backports, like iceweasel and libreoffice. The former I''ve installed as follows: package { "iceweasel": ensure => ''22.0-1~bpo70+1'', provider => ''apt'', install_options

Hi all, For a while now I've been using Asterisk together with HFC-PCI cards (Cologne chipset) for Euro-ISDN BRI support. However, I do not consider this to be the most reliable solution and believe that the most stubborn problems have always been software related. If my clients are willing to spend a bit more money on different hardware, what do you think the best solution would be?

Hi list, After failing to get a Sipura/Linksys SPA3000, which I've configured as a PSTN gateway, to pass on the Caller ID, I decided to try my luck with a Linksys SPA3102 after hearing some promising stories. Unfortunately, I've run into a completely new problem: it seems Asterisk won't let this device register. I went about configuring the SPA3102 in much the same way as I
