similar to: Directory routing to wrong extension if dial tones are pressed too quick.

All: Yesterday I discovered something interesting. I dialed 1800ANCESTRY from the asterisk system I am testing and got the number doesn't exist message. I then dialed the same number from our old system and it went through. I realized that the "Y" in ancestry made the number too long, and went back to my dialplan. How do I ignore numbers that are too long? Obviously,

All, The users in our organization are well, quite frankly, sick of phone service that is being provided. The choppy phone calls, and drop outs are detrimental to our sales force. I've tried about everything I can think of. Moved the asterisk server from VM machine to dedicated machine More than enough bandwidth Setting 802.1p = 7 Set Dedicated voice traffic 35% of bandwidth. Not sure

All: RKG needs an asterisk consultant to help us track down issues we are having with our system. Mainly dropouts and dropped calls.

All: My company has an existing ESI IVX E-class system with 45 phones. I can add one more card, to expand it another 6 phones, but it's $8000, and then the system will have to be replaced. I have the Asterisk server up and running, with 2 sip lines from the local phone service. (Thanks to you guys, it is working great!). I'm pretty sure this is the way the company will move, and

Jim, and all: Thanks for the response. If I can repeat what you are saying: you don't have to define the multiple lines in sip.conf? For comparison, with my current esi setup, we have 10 outgoing lines. If one line is busy, then the service just rolls to the next number. This is set up with the phone service. That doesn't have to done with outgoing sip lines? Does the dialstatus

All: Getting ready to put the system in production. Any suggestions on "stress testing" the system? I'd like to initiate say 10 sip phone calls to make sure the provider has the bandwidth. Can you do that in CLI? I've called 4 numbers simultaneously with the hard phones I currently have and am thinking of adding 6 or so soft-phones to various pc's to make a total of

All: Some of the people who dial into to our system will press the pound key when entering an extension for the directory key. When waitexten gets that, I get an error messages as, for example 123# doesn't match any extension. I was going to use ${EXTEN} to just use the first three numbers, but I'm not sure how to use this with WaitExten. so I have exten =>

All: Still experimenting with the asterisk server for the company. My local phone company has given me two sip numbers to experiment with, say 444-456-1234 & 444-456-5678 Calling in and out works, and I've spread a couple of the phones out with some co-workers. My question is this: Do I have to define multiple sip lines in either the sip.conf or the extensions.conf? Now when I

All: I am looking to install another asterisk server in an office located in a different part of the country. I think I can configure the sip and extension conf files, so that the internal phones at the two locations can call each other. My question is this, how do I properly configure the sip file for a different provider at the new location? Can I use a different register statement for

Hello, Several people report that outgoing phone calls to our clients sound muffled, like they are talking underwater. Reported for both the Snom 870, and the polycom ip650. Incoming calls sound ok. Could this be a codec problem? My dialplan looks like: [general] port = 5060 bindaddr = 0.0.0.0 srvlookup = no tos_sip = cs7 tos_audio = ef registertimeout = 1 relaxdtmf = yes context =

All, I'm looking for sip phones that support something other than openvpn. There are a lot of vendors in China (mainly Alibaba) that sell l2tp VPN phones. Are there any American vendors that support l2tp? Thanks, -- Eddie H. Mikell Senior Systems Engineer RKG Office: 434.970.1010 x 124 Email: emikell at rimmkaufman.com -- <http://www.rimmkaufman.com>

All: I am using the standard voicemail in asterisk. Everything works well, except, if a users wants to record their own personal greeting, it doesn't playback. I can see the soundfile being created. I suspect it is a setting in the voicemail.conf, or an option I am over-looking on the grandstream, but if anyone can point me in the write direction, I would certainly appreciate the help.

All: I've starting building an asterisk system for our company, which has about 60 users. I am new to asterisk, so thank you for your patience. I've stripped the sip.conf and the extensions.conf down to the bare minimum: Here is my extensions.conf file [globals] [general] autofallthrough=no [default] [fromprovider] exten => YYYYYYYYYY,1,Dial(SIP/151,20) [phones] exten =>

Hello all, I've played with background and play sounds apps and googled around and asked the list before to no avail. Does anyone know of a way to have tones played during the call progress stage of the call? We (especially on some international circuits) get up to 5 seconds of silence before the phone starts ringing or is busy. I don't want to force "R" on the Dial app as

I have a smartnet contract for this phone, and have searched high and low for this file on the Cisco website. I need: United_States/7960-tones.xml English_United_States/7960-font.xml Every road seems to lead to the Call manager express downloads... I don't have a CME, so that's basically useles. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Mikel

On systems even key systems it is customary to have an 'internal' dial tone. Since Asterisk simply ignores the 9 and keeps the tone going it is hard to tell for some 'new users' if they can make a call. My first idea was to change the generated dial tone via source. Then if the user presses 9 go to a different context where I would record about 30 seconds of the normal dial

Hi everybody, Firstly I'm going to describe the scenario where I'm working. I use a E400P with Asterisk CVS-05/22/03-11:14:50, and I'm working with asterisk trow AGI scripts (Perl). The configuration of extension.conf is: exten =>_s,1,Answer exten =>_s,2,AGI,script.agi Inside the AGI script is call Dial application as follows: print "EXEC Dial

had to fix the subject... was getting under my skin! yeah, could you put up the FLAC version of the worst track that is less than 20 megs compressed? (I'll have to grab it with a 56k modem). by worst I mean the one where shorten beats flac by the most. also: 1. what version of shorten are you using? 2. what command-line options for flac and shorten did you use on this track? thanks, Josh

If you're an asterisk 1.6 user, and use the 'Directory application', have you noticed that the first keypress is always missed if you press it during the part of the announement where alison says "using you touch tone keypad" If this includes you, have a look at mantis bug https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=16409 If you are keen, please apply the patch and report
