similar to: Can I run two instances of asterisk

Apart from religious grounds (!), is there any pros or cons why I should choose one over the other for a new install of asterisk ? Julian

More than 60% of our outbound calls are now to mobiles, so the time has come to whack in a gsm channel bank. Does anyone have any preference of bank ? Do you use a PRI or VOIP connection from the bank to asterisk ? Real-world experiences are sooooo much better than marketing blurb ;) We currently have a TE412P with a free socket, so we have a choice either way. I am looking for up to 30

I need to process a number of lines of code in the dialplan before answering a call. Can standard ring back tones be played to the caller while this is happening prior to answering the call. Which commands would facilitate this? Thanks in Advance, Vic

Just to share some experience with everyone about what happened today to our Asterisk 1.4 box with Digium TE412P card. We had an unscheduled power outage which shut down the Asterisk box. When the power went up, Asterisk came back up okay but the ports on the card were all red. Zttool show red alarm and cat /proc/zaptel/1 show red alarm today. Both incoming and outgoing cannot be made. When a

I upgraded my Cisco7960 to SIP 8-2 from 7-4. Everything seems ok, works fine. Except that when I make an outbound call, I get a double-ring sound. I also found that if the target number is engaged, I get a ring sound and at the same time get a busy sound. If I revert back to 7-4, there is no problem. Anyone else had this, or any clues on how to fix it ? All of our other phones are still on

I am playing around with dynamic meetme conferences, and wanted to have one person constantly in the conference, with calls "popping in and out". Is there an option / any way of playing enter / leave sounds to the person who created the conference only, and not the people leaving / joining ? TIA Julian.

I have a couple of numbers that are diverted to a number that is conected to an isdn30 card, running asterisk 1.4. eg. 123456 => 22334455 654321 => 22334455 What I would like to know is the number of the orginal number dialled (123456 or 654321). I thought that RDNIS was the answer, but it is always coming up blank. When I did a debug on the pri span, I saw the following message

I want to be able to allow a caller to dial a ddi, system to verify identity etc (this is all done) I then want them to sit listening to music, until an event happens. When this (external) event happens, I want to play a certain file to the caller, using playback (so that they have ff / rw etc), and when finished, go back to the music. 1) I thought of redirecting to an extension that played the

I experience random crash of machine (full hang, requiring a hard reset) after trying to test run Asterisk 11. The machine is a centos 5.8 32 bits pc with 1G ram. Asterisk is compiled from the source and no other software has been installed Anyone experience similar situation? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

When a caller in the queue is connected to an agent, the call is placed to the extension and context specified using Agentcallbacklogin. This allows for me to add extra things to the diaplan *before* calling the agent. Now, I want to be able to use a device, rather than agents. So I can use addQueueMember and add my SIP device. However, I still want to do a couple of things before the device

Following on from a posting yesterday from Kevin, I have the following in the dialplan: exten => 709,1,AddQueueMember(SomeQueue|Local/706@AgentQ) I am on extension 706. From the CLI: SomeQueue has 0 calls (max unlimited) in 'rrmemory' strategy (0s holdtime), W:0, C:0, A:3, SL:0.0% within 60s No Members No Callers I call 709, get a console message

If I have the following in the dialplan exten => foo,n,Dial(SIP/1234&Zap/G1c/55443322) and SIP/5432 calls this extension, is it possible to show different callerid numbers to each of the target numbers ? The reason I ask is that if the call is from an internal sip phone, I want to show the internal callerid (5432) to the SIP phone on 1234, and the DDI of the 5432 extension

Does any one know how to change astmanproxy to be able to a) compile without optimisations b) dump a core I've had it crash several times over the past couple of months, but there is no way to debug what's going on. I like the way a core is produced when (if!) * crashes, and would like to have the same thing on astmanproxy. Thanks Julian

getting some errors on my test system. this is 1.4 (Asterisk SVN-branch-1.4-r214194) with a 4 port T412p card. Three of the ports are connected: Span 1 to the PSTN on a 10 channel bearer line, ports 2 and 3 are cross-overed (!) to each other. Port 4 is not plugged in. This has been working fine for several months. I updated a few days ago to the latest 1.4 branch. However, now I cannot dial into

Does anyone know how to get CID working in AEL2 ? In extensions.conf you can do: exten => 111/666,1,PlayBack(demo-congrats) exten => 111/666,2,Hangup() exten => 111,1,PlayBack(demo-moreinfo) exten => 111,2,Hangup() and if callerid 666 dialed 111, they would get demo-congrats, everyone else gets demo-moreinfo. In AEL: 111 => { Playback(demo-moreinfo);

What options are available for installing an asterisk system onto a bare-metal system ? Ones that I have seen: pbx-in-a-flash trixbox astlinux What I am trying to achieve is to be able to shove a cd / usb into a machine and have it install asterisk, complete with my .conf files. I also need Cepstral installing. Ideally, I would like to be able to mount an .iso file, chroot into it, and

I'm trying to write a zap monitor program to visually display the status of each channel. It's working well -: However, one thing that I am still struggling with is knowing the status of the zap channels when the program starts. Zap show channels only seems to show an extension on an inbound call. I don't know which channels are in use for outbound calls. Anyone got an

Just for some information really : How many of you use multiple sip lines on a phone ?. I'm sitting here looking at my 7960, with it's 6 lines. I've every only used one line, and I was wondering if I was a weirdo ;) The only time I've ever found a use was when I had two systems (production and test) and it caused so much grief (could have been asterisk or cisco) I simply use a

Does anyone have any idea on how to force cepstral to convert a number to speech ? I have noticed that sometimes it speaks the number correctly, and at others it doesn't. 1) 787 is pronounced 7-8-7 2) 123 is pronounced one-hundred and twenty-three. 1) is wrong for what i need, 2) is perfect. Is there anyway of forcing numbers to be pronounced as 2) ? I've tried looking at the ssml
