Hi all, This is not a repeated post as I am just adding more information for my previous post. Asterisk version 1.4.18 TDM card: Digium TDM411B Zaptel version 1.4.9.2 Line: PSTN line I tried to obtain the dialed number using $DNID and $CDR(DST) . All of these variable returns 's' I also tried exten => _3345335,n,Noop(this is ok) where 3345335 is my number but it does not go there.

Hi all, I am using Digium PCI board to receive PSTN call through regular phone line. It is no problem for me to receive calls, but I am not able to obtain the Caller ID if the calls are from the phone line. exten => s,1,Answer() exten => s, n, Verbose(1|incoming number is ${CHANNEL} calling to ${EXTEN} routing to ${phonenum} ) exten => s,n, Verbose(1|callid is ${CALLID(num)}) exten

Hi, I am looking for a very low cost way of receiving and sending T38 fax reliably. Is there any possible solution using Asterisk as the PSTN SIP gateay and Digium E1/T1 card? Is there other open source package that can help to accomplish this purpose? Regards, Mark -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, Is it possible to connect Asterisk with a mobile base station to handle call switching? What kind of protocol will I need to use to convert to sip?

Hi, I have read about SS7 recently and learnt that it is a signalling protocol used in PSTN for call management, setup, etc. The thing that I don't understand is how SS7 plays a role in VOIP. When I make calls between landline and Asterisk via PSTN, I don't need to do anything with SS7. Is it because the SS7 signalling is already done by Asterisk already? From the prespective of

Hello Everyone, Unlike going through DIDx, DIDLogic etc.., we have an option of getting DIDs directly from local telco Bell Canada. Currently our SIP Trunk provider assigned a DID to us, and as you know, they just redirect requests it to our PBX. However, when dealing directly with a telco, what equipment will we need? Basically giving us the same capability as a DID provider. If someone can

I am a Linux sysadmin who has been tasked with developing the phone system for our nonprofit's new US headquarters building. We cannot bring our legacy phone system with us, so I am building this completely from scratch. I have already read "Asterisk: The Future of Telephony" and done a fair amount of googling. I am completely sold on Asterisk, and the new building's

Hi, I am planning to deploy an Asterisk system to supply 4-6,000 students with voicemail capabilities. The system will be set up with non-DIDs, route incoming calls to voicemail, then send an email notification. Anyone with some ideas on how I should go about spec'ing the server this use? - Eve Ellen -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, I have a Linksys SPA 3102 using as ATA. The call routing is : Phone -> PSTN -> SPA 3102 -> SIP Proxy -> Asterisk The problem I am having is that when the phone hangs up, SPA 3102 can't detect it and relay the CANCEL message. Is this problem with my SPA 3102 config or it just works like that by default? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Mark -------------- next

I have asked a GSM operator in my country if he can route a number or a short code to my asterisk server via SIP (since they dont give DIDs in my country) the operator said they do not support SIP, they have no way of converting GSM calls to SIP to then send them to me. I would like to know what is needed from the operator side to do this, what kind of material is needed, or what can be done from

Hello everyone, Excuse the title. I'm trying to do something very specific that goes against some common assumptions. I am aware of how Linux uses available memory to cache. This, in almost all cases, is desirable. I've spent years explaining to users how to properly read the free output. I'm now trying to increase VM density on host systems (by host, I mean the physical system, not

Hi, I have two asterisks that are connected to each other via a back-to-back E1 link using a pair of sangoma cards. With the following scenario: SIP-PHONE <-> Asterisk <-> E1 <-> Asterisk <-> SIP-PHONE, the sound quality degrades significantly. I can't understand why as the amound of packet lost should be very minimum. Does anyone know why? Does it have anything

Hi all, I am using Digium PCI board to receive PSTN call through regular phone line. It is no problem for me to receive calls, but I am not able to capture the destination number through the ZAP channel exten => s, n, Verbose(1|destination to ${EXTEN} ) ${EXTEN} returns 's' instead of the actual destination number. Since I have multiple phone numbers, I want to be able to route

Hi, all I want to configure a few FXS ports in an Antribank-16 to be able to receive faxes sent throught a PRI: E1 ==>Zap * ==>FXS * ==>Fax machine My asterisk box has a Digium TE120P (for the PRI).

Hi, Inspired by a recent rant about one particular provider, I am getting very curious about something I've never mastered. I'd like someone to explain this here or at least post a link or two that can educate me and probably countless others who have no knowledge in this area. I'm sure there are several of you reading this that know all about the subject. What are the various

Hi. First of all, thanks for Xen. It''s terrific! I''m interested in doing memory oversubscription and am wondering if Xen can do this (now or in the future). For example, on a machine with 100MB available physical memory, can I: 1. Create a domain with a 90MB allocation 2. Inflate a balloon in that domain and return say 40MB back to Xen I know there are mechanisms for doing

Dear all, I am working on customizing hylafax's faxrcvd script into PHP. Does anyone has any sample or guideline that can share with me to give me a quick start? Two questions I have are: 1. How to simulate the receival of fax without actually sending one? 2. Where can I find the log that is "echo" from faxrcvd? 3. How to I config Hylafax so that it uses my PHP script instead

Hello Everyone, We are currently having talks with various service providers, and trying to determine what the best way is to interconnect in order to have access to the PSTN network. As you know there are two ways of doing this: Traditional PRI: Have trunks grouped into a transport layer such as OC3/12. With DIDs attached to the group. As you many know, this approach would also require a POP

Hi All, I would like to explain the layout that i am trying to achive. I am so helpless on this regard. So here is the story ........

So I have my asterisk box up and working internally at home and all is good so far. The next thing I wanted to do was make and recieve calls to regular land lines now. I don't have a POTS line and was looking for probably a SIP trunk. I have seen mentions of Skype integration with Asterisk, but does that include say Skype IN and Skype OUT ? Or is that integration component really just for
