I have an Asterisk 1.4.2 system that has been installed for about 3 months now in our home. We converted all of our phones to SIP phones, and use two different trunk providers (BroadVoice for incoming & FlowRoute for outgoing). Most of the time its working flawlessly. But about 1/3rd of the calls that come into us complain of an echo and what is best described as latency issues. Its

We have added Asterisk to a line of 'mission critical' servers at our business, and being in the web application development business one of the core things we do is to monitor web server availability. I'd like to add Asterisk to the servers that our monitoring systems are handling, and also that our SIP trunk provider has our Asterisk system correctly registered at all times.

I have a working dialplan for our phone system with Mon-Fri, business hours identification, etc. But what I'm lacking right now is support for company holiday dates. What I'd like to do is to create a database of these dates and just update them as new years rollover. I suspect others have done this sort of thing with Asterisk before, but I've not found any resources so far.

I am running Asterisk 1.4.2 and recently we changed the SIP provider of our main incoming DID number. The new provider prefixes all CallerID records with a +1 in front of the number, whereas the previous SIP provider did not. Consequently now all my blacklisted numbers aren't matching in my Dialplan, so I'm getting tele-spammed. Is there a way that I can work with the blacklist

I am not finding anything relating to this on Google, so I thought I'd pose the question here... I am running Asterisk 1.4 on a CentOS 5 Linux box. I needed to use a custom built PHP5.2.10 install to interconnect with our Firebird SQL database, which I've done. But I noticed that the default install path for PHP5 on this box appears to be /usr/local/bin/php rather than the path

I have an Asterisk 1.4.2 system installed at our office, and have a few 'on the road' sales people that want to make calls from their cell phones in transit, but they are complaining that people returning calls that they make from their cell phones are simply just using the CID that is coming from the cell phone which is causing them to get phone calls outside of business hours. What

I have a new Asterisk system going into production next week and I'm a bit stumped as to the best way to handle the Dialplans for it. The Asterisk system is replacing 4 separate PSTN lines with both SIP & PSTN inputs. The setting up of the dial plan is giving me some design headaches, which probably means I'm missing something obvious and doing this the hard way. I have separate

I'm trying to use func_odbc to write to a MS SQL db. Here's my func_odbc conf: [OPTIN] dsn=MSSQL-Optin write=INSERT into OptIn (orgID) values (${VAL1}) Dial Plan exten => +18665551212,n,Set(ODBC_OPTIN()=dave) When I do an odbc show, it shows that I am connected to the db. If I use isql, I can write to the db, however, when I use func_odbc, a record will not write. I'm using

I have an Asterisk system setup for our small business, and its working well. I posted to the list about a week or so ago, regarding having it handle direct extension dialing, and unfortunately I'm not any closer to solving this issue, so I was hoping someone might have a working example of how to set this up they could point me towards. Basically I have everything EXCEPT direct

Asterisk Users, Has anybody use Voicepulse Connect for Asterisk? I am trying to cover all my bases because in the past, I got burned with poor quality of service, along with failed DTMF tones with 3 different SIP Providers (Vitelity, Broadvoice, and Teliax). I am running Asterisk 1.2.13 on the Debian Etch system, using the SIP protocol. Any insights would be great. Thanks. -John

I am trying to implement a change to our Dialplan that will thwart tele-spammers that are calling us with blanked out caller ID. The caller IDs seem to vary between originating callers when they block caller ID. I've seen the following: "anonymous" "" So I'm checking for these. However recently one company seems to be bypassing this, so what I wanted to do was

I have an Asterisk 1.4.2 server with 3 different SIP providers and Asterisk for Skype gateway installed. Periodically the SIP providers go offline for some reason, or the Skype connection fails. When this happens, I lose my SIP registration to the provider. Unfortunately I don't know this has happened until someone eventually contacts me to say, "I tried to call you but it

I started out happy as a clam with my new Broadvoice account and asterisk machine. About 10 days ago things began to change. Inbound calling has been down for 2 days. Beyond the "We are currently experiencing in-bound call issues with a carrier partner in some areas. We are aware of the issue and our engineers are working to have it resolved as soon as possible" mantra their

Is there a simple command in the CLI or other for Asterisk 1.4.2 where I can list all numbers in the blacklist database? I need to export this data to another database, but am unsure how to get to it all in a list. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Hi all, I'm trying to get my head around our Asterisk network configuration. We've been using it for about 2 years now (home office) and it works great. Its Asterisk 1.4.2 with SIP through external provider(s). We have the Asterisk server behind our IPCop firewall, and have a dedicated IP address that comes to the firewall from our ISP (Cox) and that is routed to our Asterisk box

We recently completed a full migration of our office phone system over to Asterisk and are using flowroute & Broadvoice as SIP providers for our incoming/outgoing calls. Everything is working great. Now that the phones are done, I'm left with the fax machine. Although we have been using jFax for digital fax handling for most of our fax needs, it falls short with many calls where the

Hi Everyone, I'm planning my first asterisk box, and I'd like to know what SIP providers everyone likes. Voipjet? Gizmo? Somebody else? Thanks, Alex

Has anybody ever integrated Skype with Asterisk? If you have, which software would you recommend to accomplish such a task? ChanSkype? And how reliable are the calls? Did the DTMF tones work? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ Discover sweet stuff waiting for you at the Messenger Cafe.? Claim your treat today!

Hi, My customer has a outdated firewall that is also presenting a NAT nightmare for getting the Asterisk server reachable from the internet. What firewalls work good with VOIP? I really want to steer away from any ALG supported firewall. I just want a good firewall that works well with Asterisk. Thanks, David Wathen -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm wondering if any other Asterisk users have a recommendation for a reliable SIP Trunk provider that supports Asterisk and offers decent support. I've worked with Coredial, Broadvox, and Broadvoice and have had some bad experiences with each of these providers. Broadvoice offers low cost service, however I have constant issues with Broadvoice blocking my customers due to Asterisk
