similar to: Max call duration

Hi all, Is it just me and not reading the docs right, or has anybody else had problems with the AbsoluteTimeout application and the 'T' extension when used inside a macro? [macro-attended] ; ARG1 is the device to dial out on, SIP or Zap, or whatever ; ARG2 is the extension to dial using 'attended' dialing exten => s,1,AbsoluteTimeout(30) exten =>

Hello everybody. Recently I've been trying to limit the duration of some calls for a simple application I'm writing. Unfortunately all of the documented methods are failing and I'm not sure what else to try. Here are some samples of what I've done: 1) The AbsoluteTimeout application. - exten => 1,1,AbsoluteTimeout (30) 2) The new version of AbsoluteTimeout. - exten

We have an application that plays a variety of sound files on one leg of a call (generated by a call file). We've been told that the party listening to the audio files intermittantly hears "robotic" sounding audio (on/off during the same call). Anyone have ideas on cause? These calls are on an internal network (lots of network bandwidth), and from a server running 99% idle.

Hi All, I've been having a hard time getting the AbsoluteTimeout function to work. Is this Function working in for SIP? I've search all the messages in the news letters and tried what was suggested and still have not gotten it to work. Below is a portion of my extensions.conf. I've also been running these test on ver 0.5.0 exten => _X.,1,Absolutetimeout(20) exten =>

Is there a simple way to get call volume from a particular trunk within the dialplan (for conditional branching)? I suspect we will have to build an AGI script but I'm hoping something new in Asterisk 13 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, Have a problem in my extension.conf: I have: [sip] exten => _333.,1,wait,3 exten => _333.,2,Answer exten => _333.,3,AbsoluteTimeout,7 exten => _333.,4,Hangup I wanted to test if * is executing this dial plan by calling 3335254255 for example. The problem is as follow: It waits, it answers but it does not seems to see the Absolutetimeout: call goes forever. What's wrong? Am

Hi everyone, I'm new to Asterisk, but I like it ;o) Have a question to you; How can I limit the incoming call duration? -- Suich

Hi, All Is there a provision for "AbsoluteTimeout" application to notify called and calling party of the reason why the call suddenly ended? This way, the parties will be much better informed, hence they will/should not think that their VOIP/telco provider(s) are providing bad service. Ta SJ

I'm using the M() option to Dial() and having problems. In the following dialplan example ANY digit exits the macro. When the callee presses 1 the Noop(Reset AbsoluteTimeout(0)) does not get run. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Asterisk 1.2.x [extensions] exten => 2998,1,Dial(Zap/1/5551212,,wM(answer-confirmation^20)) [macro-answer-confirmation] exten

I happened to be in the cli tonight as some (208.122.57.58) initiated a simple attack - just trying to make long distance calls from outside context. Although harmless, this went on for several minutes as the idiot just used up my bandwidth with SIP messages. Here's and example: [2011-12-28 22:53:42] NOTICE[9635]: chan_sip.c:14035 handle_request_invite: Call from '' to extension

I see a lot of attempts by hackers to call 00972595301123? or 011972595115207? or variations but that same 972595 is often present. Can someone break down that dial string with an explanation? The 011 look like an overseas call (from Americas), while the 972595XXXXXX is unclear... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

When I attempt to start asterisk with my modem setup listed it will not start attached are the error messages i get and also the modem.conf that i am currently using. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. running CVS ver 12/7/03, modified only to allow the RxFax and TxFax to compile and run with it (from http://www.opencall.org) just e-mail me privately if you need more info Thanks in

Is the a CLI command that shows all channels in use at one time? (Whether IAX, SIP, SCCP, etc)? As well, when I "SIP SHOW CHANNELS" I see phones registering showing as channels in use. Is there a way to filter this output? Thanks! MD

I need to disable/enable a peer after hours automatically, and am thinking about doing so via the AMI. Is there a command to enable/disable (or perhaps delete/add) a peer via the AMI? I could create code to modify sip.conf and force a reload, but that seems like the wrong approach... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

We've deoplyed a number of pure VoIP wireless (wifi & proprietary) phones, but not dect. Is there a simple overview of integrating DECT phones with Asterisk somewhere? I assume the DECT basestation has a multi-account SIP VoIP interface, and the handsets are just plain old dect? Can you push configuration info to individual phones? (Are they individually addressible / configurable

Is there a recent survey of that Linux distro and version people are using for the Asterisk installations? I recall seeing a pie chart over a year ago (I think on a wiki but I can't find it again)....also hoping for something more current. I suspect RH5 and RH6 are most popular...but I'm looking for facts -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

This probably came up before, but I have a faxing question for everyone. I have a simple extension setup to use rxfax to receive faxes sent to asterisk. It is: exten => s,1,Answer() exten => s,n,AbsoluteTimeout(300) exten => s,n,Set(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${ARG1}_${CALLERIDNUM}_${UNIQUEID}.tif) exten => s,n,rxfax(${FAXFILE}) exten => s,n,System(/usr/bin/mailfax

Hi, I still cant dial out on Zap and I really have no clue why. I'm using Asterisk Asterisk 1.2.6 and Zaptel 1.2.5 with Digium card 4 ports, 31 channels each and able to receive incoming calls and fax perfectly. I've done this in my dial plan. exten => 111,1,Answer() exten => 111,n,Ringing() exten => 111,n,Wait(2) exten => 111,n,AbsoluteTimeout(30) exten =>

Hello all, HI i am very new to asterisk and my boss needs me to investigate setting up asterisk for a new client. I have downloaded and installed (make, make install and make progdocs)asterisk on my personal computer and when i try to run it (./asterisk -vvvc) i get the following output below: NOTE: i am running REDHAT 9.0 on a 796MHz cpu machine: I am excited to be able to work with asterisk

I have no idea what this really should be called, so for lack of a better name, I called it "reverse hold". Hopefully someone else can make use of it, or even make it better, as its the first thing of its kind I've made for asterisk. Like most people, I'm very busy, so when I call other companies, sitting on hold really sucks. If you have speaker phone, its not so bad, but then
