Hello, all. I see there is an "o" option for the Dial() command which reverts to the previous behavior of using the original callerid throughout the call - I suppose more specifically, using the callerid from leg 1 for leg 2 in B2BUA if I understand it correctly. That seems to be highly desirable behavior; I know we are seeing some problems with call history and call forwarding because

Hello, all. After reading the README, UPGRADE.txt, and a quick tour through google, is it safe to assume to upgrade from 1.6.1.1 to 1.6.1.2, one simply compiles and installs over the old installation being careful to NOT install the sample files?

Hello, all. After many pages of googling and testing in the lab, I'm still a bit perplexed about how to implement tls protection for the asterisk manager. manager.conf allows one to specify the cert file but one normally must also specify the private key file. If I simply enter the cert file: sslenable=yes sslbindport=5038 sslbindaddr=172.x.x.8 sslcert=/etc/pki/tls/certs/pbxc.pem ; path

Hello, all. I've been playing with MeetMe and talker optimization seemed like a great idea. I activated it as follows: exten => 201,1,MeetMe(100201,cTo) However, although I can see who is the talker on the CLI pbx01*CLI> meetme list 100201 User #: 01 1001 Denise Dion-Sullivan Channel: SIP/1001-1e1db7c8 (not talking) 00:00:33 User #: 02 1000 John A.

Hello, all. I have a user who needs to monitor their voice mail box and the general delivery voice mail box. I defined them in sip.conf as follows: [tkeeley](a10f) mailbox=612 at a10, 610 at a10 However, the MWI does not indicate voice mails for 610 and I keep seeing this error message: ERROR[2549]: app_voicemail.c:1630 messagecount: Couldn't find mailbox 610 in context a10 However,

Hello, all. Since implementing an iptables firewall between the Asterisk PBX and several SIP phones, the Asterisk PBX ability to "reinvite" has been broken even when the phones are on the same network (i.e., no firewall between the phones). We've been beating our heads against the wall thinking it was the complex rule set but it appears the issue is ip_conntrack_sip. Before I drop

Hello, all. My apologies up front but I must be brain cramping on something very simple. I've tried to pare down my configuration to the absolute minimum for SIP traffic just to understand how it works. My incoming calls are not finding the "s" extension in my dial-plan. I am assuming SIP calls can do this. I am using Asterisk 1.6.1.1 sip.conf has nothing but: [general]

Just a thought as we explore the brave new world of converged voice and emails. Voice mail boxes typically hold a very small number of messages while email folders contain thousands. Do we need to rethink the traditionally small limits on voice mail boxes when storing in IMAP or are the messages counted separately? Thanks - John -- John A.

Hello, all. The little bit of reading I've done on lua makes me eager to give it a try. However, when I try to install it (Asterisk 1.6.1.1 on CentOS 5.3), it is not available in menuselect. I have installed lua and lua-devel. I've seen very little about it in my Internet searches. What else must I do so that it installs? Thanks - John Oh, by the way, I'm having a similar problem

Hello, all. As we work through our design issues, we are very interested in moving immediately to real time database since we anticipate expanding our system in to a clustered system within a year or two. One of the biggest disadvantages we anticipate is the lack of configuration documentation. In other words, the .conf files are self-documenting. If I want to understand my dialplan, I read

Hello, all. I'm having a nasty problem with call parking in Asterisk 1.6.1.1 that smells like a bug. When the call returns, it seems to be returning to a "|" delimited extension and failing. Here is the output from the console: [Jun 26 22:20:42] NOTICE[7168]: chan_sip.c:18160 handle_request_invite: Call from 'tkeeley' to extension '56' rejected because extension

Hello, all. We have successfully connected our new Asterisk 1.6.1.1 PBX to Vitelity's network and have been very happy with them thus far. However, we'd like to use domains in our sip.conf to facilitate routing in our multi-tenant environment. We also like to set allowexternaldomains=no for security. However, this breaks our inbound PSTN calling from Vitelity. Is it possible to use

Hello, all. I see that I can use the C flag in Dial() to reset the CDRs and plan to use this for outbound calling since our carrier does not bill us until the call is answered. We'd like to do this for inbound calls from the PSTN since we pay for inbound and outbound minutes. However, it doesn't seem to make sense to do this with Dial() because we have an automated attendant which

Hello, all. I must be brain cramping badly on our Asterisk 1.6.1.1 installation. Our MeetMe macros are working fine except they do not prompt for a PIN. So I made a very simple conference room: exten => 7777,1,MeetMe(123456,cMaAsx,123456) Shouldn't this prompt the user who dials 7777 to enter a PIN before entering the conference room whether or not a PIN is defined in meetme.conf? I

Hello, all. We are having a problem where audio for sip channels is dropping upon reinvite. Perhaps it reflects a misunderstanding of what reinvite does. We are running Asterisk 1.6.1.1 on CentOS 5.3. SIP is set to canreinvite=nonat. We have tried RTP with strictrtp set to both yes and no. We have also tried extending the Asterisk rtp port range to accommodate the differing default ranges of

We were able to solve the below problem. I'll post it in case someone encounters the same issue. No need to respond or even read unless you see a better way. Thanks - John We have manually set callerID on our outbound lines to reflect the appropriate DID both for e911 and to be polite to folks we call, e.g.: exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=5197546340) exten =>

Hello, all. I've solved my own problem but will post it here in case someone else has the same misunderstanding in the future. We thought we had set up our meetme so that regular users entered the conference without a pin but could not speak to each other until the moderator arrived. We enforced pin entry on the moderator . . . or at least so we thought. If the moderator waited long enough

Hello, all. I am attempting to use IMAP voice mail storage in Asterisk 1.6.1.1 on CentOS 5.3 using Zimbra 5.1.6. I will not be using it as it has proved terribly unstable - Asterisk segfaults on every voice mail message although the message is successfully deliver to my email inbox - but I thought I should report it. Here are the errors from the Asterisk console: -- Executing [210 at

Hello, all. Alas, another convoluted question. All the simple things are, well, simple so I suppose we only need to trouble the list with squirrely problems! We've noticed a call history problem when using Asterisk where the call history on the Snom phones (with which we are very pleased) reflects the number of the PBX extension used by the B2BUA to dial the end point. I assume the same
