Hi! What are the typical ways to work around the 64 groups limit? thanks klaus

Hi! Is it somehow possible to evaluate the SIP response code inside the dialplan? I have an Asterisk server which forwards requests to various PSTN gateways with SIP. If the Dial() attempt is not successful I want to differ at least these 3 options: - called destination is busy (486): e.g. activate auto-redial - called destination does not exist, unassigned number (404) - gateway is broken,

Hi! What is the preferred way to make database lookups from within the dialplan? I only know the MYSQL function from asterisk-addons. Are the other methods too? (e.g. for postgresql, unixodbc) thanks klaus

Hi! Since some time the download of the newest Asterisk does not contains the version number anymore, but is just called "asterisk-1.4-current.tar.gz" This gives me a tarball where I do not know the version without looking into the tarball. Thus, IMO it would be very useful to switch back to old schema war the download contained the version number. Thanks Klaus

Hi All, While reading about QoS, I came across ${RTPAUDIOQOS} and tried to use it in my dialplan. I had 2 sip extensions 555 and 666 and I called from 555 to 666, but unfortunately no value for ${RTPAUDIOQOS} appeared on Asterisk CLI. Would you please let me know what is wrong with my dialplan and/or what else should be done to get the value of ${RTPAUDIOQOS}? Following is my dialplan context

Hi all, Is it possible to install more than 1 asterisk in a single server? If yes, what do I need to set and take care? Rgds, ango

Hi! I just found out that Asterisk (1.4) does not write CDRs if the incoming call was not forwarded but handled internally without answering the call. E.g.: [from_pstn] exten => 997,1,Answer() exten => 997,2,Playback(tt-weasels) exten => 997,3,Hangup() exten => 999,1,Playback(tt-weasels|noanswer) exten => 999,4,Hangup() For incoming calls to 997 a CDR will be written, but not

Hi! I use the following condition: if (${FOOBAR}=YES) { ... } The problem is, that if FOOBAR is not defined at all Asterisk generates a warning: WARNING[11982]: ast_expr2.fl:407 ast_yyerror: ast_yyerror(): syntax error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting $end; Input: =YES Of course I could use the following code, but this bloats up the code: if (${EXISTS(${FOOBAR})}) {

Hi! I've went through the READMEs and could not answer this question: During installation, the Setup program asks: Would you like update/upgrade wanpipe drivers? (y/n) For a pure Asterisk TDM installation - is it required to patch the kernel or is this only when using the sangoma cards as WAN router? regards klaus

Hi! All the AEL examples have a semicolon after the closing curly bracket, e.g: context test { 1 => Hangup(); }; but without ; it works fine too, e.g: context test { 1 => Hangup(); } So - what is the reason for the ; after the closing curly bracket? thanks klaus

Hi! I have a setup with Asterisk in front of a PBX connected with ISDN to the PSTN and to the PBX. This Asterisk (a old 1.2 instance) is doing ENUM for outgoing calls and allows incoming calls per SIP. Recently the IP connectivity for this location was down the whole telephony was down too - not even incoming calls did work. This is really strange as incoming calls from PSTN are routed

Hi! I have the following problem with Asterisk 1.4.23: ATA w/ T.38 Asterisk ATA w/o T.38 --------INVITE--------> --------INVITE--------> <-------200OK---------- <-------200OK---------- --------ACK-----------> --------ACK-----------> --------INVITE

Hi! Is it possible to deactivate RTCP? (I am using 1.6) thanks klaus

Hi (Armin)! Does someone knows how to identify the type of the card? The delivery note says it is a V-4BRI-8M, whereas lspci reports a 4BRI-8M. What is it really? Are there any Eicon tools to identify the card type? thanks klaus 0000:0a:03.0 Network controller: Eicon Networks Corporation Diva Server 4BRI-8M Rev 2 (rev 01) Subsystem: Eicon Networks Corporation Diva Server 4BRI-8M Rev

Hello Asterisk users around the world! Recently, I have been working with pretty large Asterisk installations. 300 servers running Asterisk and Kamailio (OpenSER). Replacing large Nortel systems with just a few tiny boxes and other interesting solutions. Testing has been a large part of these projects. How much can we put into one Asterisk box? Calls per euro invested matters. So far,

Hi! I am looking for a tool (application or webinterface) which shows me the current status of an Asterisk server, e.g.: - Status of the SIP peers (registered/offline) - current incoming and outgoing calls - start-time, numbers, some history - history (calls stopped in the last 15 minutes, who hang up?) - should be possible to link those calls to the relevant SIP peers -

Hi! http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+sound+files+international#German lists a plenty of sound files for German. Can someone recommend one for Asterisk 1.4 (any maybe 1.6 soon). thanks klaus

Hi! I have the following weird problem: phones A,B and C are in the same callgroup/pickupgroup. A call B, B is ringing, C calls *8. Now, B is CANCELed, C gets 200 OK, but A is still in Ringing. Is there anything else I have to configure? thanks Klaus

Hi! I wonder why users.conf generates a SIP user and a SIP peer? Why is it not possible to set type=... in users.conf? (Asterisk 1.4.22) thanks klaus

Hi! I want to detect brute-force password hacking attacks - thus if there are too many failed login attempts for a SIP account I want to "lock" this account. Does somebody have any ideas how this could be implemented? thanks klaus
