I am trying to get a queue to do more than just play music and hold calls. Specifically, making some "comforting" voice announcements would be nice. Below is the queues.conf file relevant portions. Member phone number is munged to protect the guilty. We shouldn't need the announcement source info, but I have been trying everything. The problem is with the member busy, we get no

I am not sure what the problems are and the reasons for the basic 64K modems used in VOIP are. I understand the compressed codecs that get the bandwidth down to 20-30 K. And perhaps the 64K units give much better potential audio than you would get on a normal POTS line. But, as phone circuits VOIP/SIP doesn't seem to perform as well as plane old phones. Multiple transcodings cause issues.

Is there a way to program an FXO device to totally ignore incoming calls? I want to put an FXO on a Fax line so that 911 calls can be sent via that line, but all other activity on the line is between the Fax machine and the phone company. Perhaps munge the ring tone detect if nothing else? Cary

We are an asterisk user... small time system 50-100 users or so. But, we have an opportunity to get into a big time telecom activity. It would have 2000 to 30,000 user lines per city, and we would like to have those brought back to a central location for control and because transport can be more economical than remote site rentals, maintenance and personnel. We could take the local lines into

I don't want to start the "How many calls can Asterisk handle?" discussion or "How many angels can stand on the point of a pin?" discussion either.

Hello, We are working on implementing a solution for a medium service provider. They were previously using a Cisco AS5300 gateway with some PRI trunks to receive modem calls, then route them out the Internet. The Telco they were buying the trunks to discovered this configuration and restricted them due to legal conventions, and stated that in order to continue doing this, they would have to talk

Hi, I have a customer running a 120 second long WAV file on their MoH. The problem is that it's always starting from the beginning, so people being put on hold, talked to, put on hold again, etc always hear the first 10-15 seconds. Is there a way to have Asterisk MoH remember where it left off? Or at the very least just play the same stream to all people using the same MoH class, so

Can any one suggest a little code to either ring a cell phone when a new VM message is recorded, or send a text message? Basically outside sales people want to know they have a new message, but don't want to be interrupted to take a forwarded call. While a message by message notice would be nice, even just a single notice on the first message would be an alert to call for messages.

After passing authentication, Then with this line, extent => 3616739999,5,DISA(no-password calls-outbound) As soon as the first digit of the intended number to be called is entered, the system does a Hungup 'DAHDI/1-1' It has done that no matter what I have tried. I am missing the boat somewhere. Anyone have tips? Cary Fitch

When Asterisk sends a call to "a phone company" via a PRI/Dahdi, does it actually send CALLERID(ANI), or only CALLERID(NUM)? Cary Fitch

Hi! A customer of mine wants to connect an asterisk system with 240 to 480 lines to a PSTN switch. To save the costs for E1 cards and the corresponding E1 mainlines he wants to connect the system to the switch by a SIP trunk. Phones will be connected to the server through the same SIP trunk as this will be some kind of a "hosted pbx". Given he finds a provider wich has this much SIP

Sorry for the off-topic, but perhaps this will be of interest to other asterisk based ITSPs. We are starting service in a rural area where the ILEC has the rural "monopoly". From what we have read in the FCC docs this does NOT exempt them from number portability, but what does it take for us to qualify to receive their numbers? To date we simply have a few voice trunks to them,

We do not get caller ID (name) on our telco lines. However we have a few single line extensions with consumer type handsets that ring at odd hours with "Asterisk" before the phone is picked up, and "Out of Area" after it is picked up. I have read that "Asterisk" is what is reported by Asterisk for 0 length caller ID number. But since we don't
