00:00.14 | delmar | file, right. I use busy detect actually.. and it works ok. |
00:00.19 | delmar | file, but its dodgy I hear |
00:00.29 | delmar | file, anyway.. since u understand what im on about... |
00:01.15 | delmar | file, the problem i have is that... the call hits the * box, which has tdm400p in it... dials out via FXO-4 .. which has a gsm gateway on it.. just providing 2wire dialtone to the FXO... |
00:01.29 | file | I already don't like where this is going |
00:01.57 | delmar | file, the problem is.. as soon as the call is placed out the FXO.. and the caller is connected... there is a huge amount of silence while the gateway gets the call established on the gsm network |
00:02.14 | joburg | you get gsm gateways that has a tone while it's processing the call |
00:02.22 | delmar | file, i can play ring tones and all that.. right up to when the FXO goes "Answered" ... then we are waiting for ages... for the call to get going |
00:02.28 | joburg | maybe thats your solution |
00:02.33 | delmar | joburg, right. |
00:02.39 | delmar | joburg, that sounds damn perfect. |
00:03.15 | delmar | file, so what i was wondering is.. if there is a way to inject some noise.. either to the Zap channel.. or on the SIP side.. or.. something |
00:03.41 | delmar | file, for about 10seconds.. long enuf for the gsm call progress tones to kick in. |
00:03.51 | file | ...no |
00:04.02 | delmar | nah i didnt think so either. |
00:04.55 | delmar | so.. back to my remote-access DISA thingie problem... |
00:05.08 | delmar | joburg, I hear what u are saying regards dial patterns... |
00:06.34 | delmar | joburg, however.. for example... cell phone numbers here.. come in different lengths... 02XXXXXXX and 02XXXXXXXXX sorta thing. so I guess I can do 02XXXXXXX. |
00:07.11 | delmar | surely there must be a way to lengthen the wait time to at least 3secs. right now it seems shorter than that. |
00:07.18 | joburg | no rather have them all seperate |
00:07.25 | compu73rg33k | are voip plans cheap? |
00:08.06 | delmar | joburg, how so? |
00:08.30 | joburg | iow : have _02XXXXXXX and _02XXXXXXXXX |
00:09.33 | delmar | joburg, that said.... |
00:09.51 | delmar | joburg, im not sure the matching has anything to do with it... |
00:10.15 | delmar | joburg, the call hasnt been placed via the dialplan at this point.... |
00:10.59 | *** part/#asterisk Z_God (n=Z_God@jabber.xs4all.nl) |
00:10.59 | delmar | joburg, but ill give this a go |
00:10.59 | delmar | joburg, the longer match before the shorter I would assume, otherwise it will match the shorter one always... |
00:11.39 | joburg | if you dont have them both the shorter one will not be exepted |
00:11.55 | *** join/#asterisk ariel_ (n=Ariel@dsl-20-177.cofs.net) |
00:12.53 | joburg | instead of DISA you can use a ivr and force the user the end with a # |
00:14.22 | joburg | I allow DISA only based on the callers Callder ID for example , adding to the security then taking them to a menu where their calls gets processed |
00:15.17 | delmar | joburg, I wouldnt consider CallerID to be a form of security. |
00:15.30 | delmar | joburg, a security hole in most respects |
00:16.03 | joburg | you can also add a pin coupled to a callerid |
00:16.14 | delmar | joburg, so .. the pattern match for cell phones .. not such a big issue.... and national dialing.. are fixed length also.. but waht about international? |
00:16.28 | joburg | it also depends in what country you are i guess |
00:16.47 | delmar | I can think of a fairly short number already... 00XXXXXXXX |
00:16.57 | delmar | but there are plenty that will be longer than this |
00:17.29 | joburg | the same goes 4 international yes - have all the possibilities seperate |
00:17.34 | delmar | anyway.. im still thinking that its a wait time issue ahead of the matching which is done in the dialplan when the call is actually being placed.. so ill go test that a sec |
00:17.43 | delmar | joburg, u reckon? |
00:18.44 | delmar | joburg, I think it would be easier if the damn thing would wait a sec or two longer for the user to finish entering :P |
00:18.52 | joburg | gottago - its past 2am already! |

I have a question about the behavior of the MWI light with it: It flashed when there was a new message in the 7.5 firmware but doesn't under 8.0. Is there a new paramater that I need to configure or is anyone aware of a bug? |
02:18.01 | qai | Question for those dialplan guru's - my VOIP service provider allows adapter connected users and asterisk server connected users. He has a feature for the adapter connected users that allows them to initiate 3-way calling by dialing the first number, pressing hook flash, then appending *23 to the beginning of the second #, then via another hook flash, all three parties are connected. Anyone have an idea what the *23 dialplan would look like? |

04:07.30 | ManxPower | sid, Asterisk does not work on Windows. Asterisk requires Linux. In order for you to set up a system like you want you will have to learn telecom, networking, Linux, and VoIP. |

07:38.44 | benjk | well, you said "my brain is on a go-slow tonight", so I figured it may be a good idea to go to sleep early and get up early |
07:39.07 | delmar | but yeah.... im a little tired. got 3hrs sleep, up from 4:30, then got a couple hours nap this avo, but im still a bit buggered. |
07:39.13 | benjk | I do that sometimes when I get stuck |
07:39.50 | delmar | for sure. i was lookin at something last night and decided I would look at it with a fresh brain in the morning.. not that i was too fresh after 3hrs sleep this morning but.. i spotted the problem instantly after that. |
07:40.06 | benjk | heh |
07:41.16 | benjk | I don't know what portable extensions means, but as for follow me, I use astdb |
07:41.21 | delmar | someone wanna take a look at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Tips+follow+me .. at the portable-extensions context and run through a few things with me? I have some questions about how this is implimented really. |
07:41.56 | delmar | ok. well thats all I want really.. some way to run follow-me ... |
07:41.57 | *** join/#asterisk af_ (n=af@ip-173-144.sn1.eutelia.it) |
07:42.13 | delmar | benjk, so maybe your way is another option I can look at... |
07:42.28 | benjk | it involves a bit of macro programming though |
07:42.50 | delmar | benjk, the example there on that link... is that not using the asteriskDB ? |
07:42.51 | benjk | but basically what I do is, I only have a single extension for everybody |
07:43.30 | benjk | I define my local extension range in a global variable LER = 30XX for example |
07:43.39 | benjk | then I have a local context |
07:43.58 | benjk | exten => _${LER},1,.... |
07:44.14 | benjk | which calls a custom macro |
07:44.27 | benjk | each extension has a dictionary in astdb |
07:44.46 | benjk | one of which is an unconditional call forward |
07:45.04 | benjk | and another of which is a follow me forward |
07:45.28 | delmar | ok |
07:46.50 | benjk | CLI> database show ext2001 |
07:47.15 | benjk | CLI> database show ext2001 |
07:47.15 | benjk | <PROTECTED> |
07:47.15 | benjk | <PROTECTED> |
07:47.15 | benjk | <PROTECTED> |
07:47.26 | benjk | and a bunch of others |
07:47.29 | delmar | ok |
07:47.35 | benjk | everything is controlled by the entries in astdb |
07:47.50 | delmar | right. |
07:47.54 | benjk | for each active extension there is such a dictionary |
07:48.04 | benjk | ext2001, ext2002, ext2003 etc etc etc |
07:48.14 | delmar | yeah ok that part I get |
07:48.21 | delmar | it's really the dialplan side I need to get going. |
07:48.24 | benjk | then the custom marco looks at those and decides what to do |
07:49.04 | benjk | if it sees there is a number in /extXXXX/followme, then it will dial that after a dial timeout with dialstatus NOANSWER |
07:49.54 | benjk | basically I call Dial() always with the g flag for "continue in the dialplan" |
07:49.58 | delmar | ah thats something i had not really thought about.. followme is really.. something that happens after the other phone rang for a bit... |
07:50.21 | benjk | then I look at the value of DIALSTATUS and depending on that I do whatever the next action should be |
07:50.26 | delmar | what I wanna do is have it so an extension can be remotely set for call-forward |
07:50.37 | benjk | same thing |
07:50.55 | benjk | the /extXXXX/callforward entry in the database controls that |
07:50.58 | delmar | not if follow me .. does it's thing after ringing the extension for X seconds before forwarding |
07:51.10 | benjk | if the macro sees a number there, it will dial that straight away |
07:51.12 | Assid | err,, if im using manager api.. and i want to make a call using a macro .. how would i do that? |
07:51.26 | Assid | its what should i use in the channel |
07:51.41 | benjk | the thing is you have to work out the order in which to process things |
07:51.56 | *** join/#asterisk BrainSurg (n=paul@d141-204-36.home.cgocable.net) |
07:52.00 | benjk | a DND setting would be the first thing to look at |
07:52.09 | BrainSurg | greetings |
07:52.10 | benjk | if DND is set, you go straight to voicemail |
07:52.13 | BrainSurg | Salvete omnes |
07:52.13 | delmar | benjk, sounds interesting. do you have your macro and stuff posted anywhere? I might like to see if I can make that work. |
07:52.20 | benjk | then next is unconditional call forward |
07:52.32 | benjk | if that is set you dial the forwarding number straight away |
07:52.49 | benjk | the next is the actual peer where the extension can be reached |
07:53.04 | benjk | then if this times out, you examine the follow me entry |
07:53.22 | benjk | its 3500 lines of code :D |
07:53.54 | delmar | benjk, all I wanna really do right now is thus... if i go upstairs and forget to set fowarding on the Polycom downstairs... I wanna pickup the phone upstairs and tell asterisk to send calls for the other extension .. to the phone upstairs.. without having to run down and do it :P |
07:54.01 | delmar | benjk, as an example .. :P |
07:54.05 | benjk | its a universal dialplan that takes a whole bunch of things into account, different countries, loads of user control |
07:54.50 | delmar | benjk, still sounds pretty cool. you should rip out any sensitive bits and post it up sometime !! |
07:54.52 | benjk | an example is not as easy as you make it sound because all my macros call each other |
07:55.04 | BrainSurg | Quick question for all: Can one suggest a good book for learning to configure asterisk? |
07:55.07 | hads|home | delmar: Simple way; you could just setup an extension which sets a value in the db which sets up which phone to call. |
07:55.13 | hads|home | ~thebook |
07:55.20 | jbot | rumour has it, thebook is a book called Asterisk: The Future of Telephony which is found at http://www.asteriskdocs.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=11 |
07:55.20 | sevard | the book! |
07:55.25 | benjk | for what you want to do its really not that complicated |
07:55.26 | BrainSurg | oooh |
07:55.40 | benjk | set up a structure in the database for each extension you have |
07:55.51 | delmar | BrainSurg, also... www.voip-info.org is a really good place to get info |
07:56.03 | benjk | like database put extXXXX callforward nnnnnnnnn |
07:56.21 | hads|home | Although take everything on the wiki with a grain of salt - some of it is out of date or just wrong. |
07:56.21 | benjk | database put extXXXX followme nnnnnnnnn |
07:56.21 | BrainSurg | Thanks, very helpful. |
07:56.24 | benjk | etc |
07:56.27 | delmar | hads|home I think this is what this thing on http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Tips+follow+me is doing? |
07:56.56 | benjk | then write a little macro [macro-dial-extension] |
07:57.12 | benjk | that macro should first check if there is a value in callforward |
07:57.19 | benjk | if there is, you dial that number instead |
07:57.24 | benjk | if not you continue |
07:57.41 | benjk | then it should check where the extension lives |
07:57.41 | delmar | I think .. what is on here.. at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Tips+follow+me ... will do it... and I understand whats in that example quite well... accept the part at the top... im like.. WTF is it going to do here... |
07:58.00 | hads|home | delmar: Not really what I'm talking about there. |
07:58.01 | benjk | <PROTECTED> |
07:58.13 | benjk | then you dial that route |
07:58.34 | benjk | then after the call times out you check followme and if there is a value you dial that |
07:58.40 | benjk | that's the entire flow |
07:58.53 | benjk | you can change the database from anywhere |
07:59.11 | benjk | you can set up a short dial extension for letting users change their settings by phone |
07:59.23 | benjk | you can log in via ssh and change settings on the CLI |
07:59.29 | hads|home | For your simple case you could just add a db key which has the extension you want to call (you could use a global variable too) and then on your incoming extension just to a Dial(${VALUE_FROM_DB}) |
07:59.30 | benjk | and you can change via AMI |
08:00.22 | benjk | so no matter what situation you're in and what location you are, you can change the forwarding and follow me numbers for any given extension |
08:01.24 | delmar | ok |
08:01.29 | delmar | cool. I think i have a few ideas now. |
08:01.48 | benjk | this scheme is most flexible and you can extend it over time to add more parameters |
08:01.52 | benjk | like DND |
08:02.31 | benjk | dial timeout when internal, dial timeout when forwarding, mailbox number etc etc |
08:02.45 | benjk | I even have a VIP caller list for each extension |
08:03.01 | delmar | sounds pretty cool |
08:03.10 | benjk | so users can enter their important customers/friends/etc and treat incoming calls from them differently |
08:03.17 | hads|home | benjk and I are talking about pretty much the same thing, his way is just more expandable. |
08:03.51 | benjk | this is just an outcome of adding more stuff over time |
08:04.12 | benjk | once you draw parameters from the database, you may as well draw everything from there |
08:04.31 | *** join/#asterisk remiss (i=bofh@191.80-203-38.nextgentel.com) |
08:04.32 | delmar | yeah. sounds pretty powerful |
08:04.44 | benjk | and you don't have to do this all in one go |
08:04.51 | benjk | you just start with forwarding |
08:04.58 | benjk | later on, you add DND |
08:05.06 | benjk | then follow me, etc etc |
08:05.24 | benjk | essential is that each extension has its own dictionary |
08:05.31 | benjk | or family as asterisk docs call it |
08:07.30 | delmar | ok |
08:07.31 | benjk | its also helpful to be aware of the different types of forwards |
08:07.48 | benjk | unconditional forward, forward on busy, forward on no answer etc |
08:08.00 | benjk | follow me is basically a fwd-on-no-answer |
08:08.07 | delmar | yeah |
08:08.40 | delmar | what i wanna do is setup unconditional forward, which is able to be activated for a given extension.. from any other extension. |
08:08.45 | delmar | for now at least |
08:09.32 | benjk | you should distinguish between the storing and retrieval of the foward parameter itself |
08:09.39 | benjk | and the ways to change it |
08:09.49 | benjk | those should be implemented independently |
08:11.10 | benjk | the macro that dials extensions should only be interested in that database field, it should not have to worry about how the number got into the database |
08:12.12 | benjk | likewise, your IVR or whatever instrument you use to change the forwarding number should only have to worry about putting the value into the database, it need not know about the macro that will read from it |

09:22.28 | benjk | you should be glad you've got that wiki |

09:25.39 | remiss | but it's better than nothing :) |
09:26.22 | hads|home | The fact that Asterisk has changed and the wiki hasn't kept up can make it a little difficult though. |
09:27.19 | benjk | well, you can always take the headers literally "Asterisk, a telephony toolkit" |
09:27.37 | benjk | then assemble what you need from the available parts |
09:27.44 | benjk | and leave those parts you don't need |
09:28.18 | benjk | not everybody buys the latest model of the car they drive just because there is a new model number |
09:28.36 | benjk | usually you drive it for a number of years |
09:28.59 | benjk | most people would be better off if they took a lesson from that for their use of software |
09:33.27 | muppetmaster | No one is informed on AJAM? |
09:33.50 | delmar | benjk, i agree |
09:34.42 | delmar | benjk, 340days up time on my colocation box. i used to be always wanting the latest kernel.. or latest software... but the thing just runs non-stop. i don't wanna touch it apart from a few minor software updates.. patches.. security issues.. the usual |
09:35.01 | benjk | yep |
09:35.06 | delmar | benjk, I forgot to add forced module unloading tho.. so its gonna get a kernel compile soon.. but yeah |
09:35.07 | benjk | way to go |
09:35.39 | gordonjcp | benjk: and some of us deliberately choose to drive 15-year-old cars because they are technically superior to anything new on the market ;-) |
09:35.59 | gordonjcp | (which is why I like Citroens and VMS) |
09:36.34 | benjk | heh |
09:36.57 | benjk | You gotta love the DS |
09:37.07 | gordonjcp | I would indeed love a DS, but I can't afford one |
09:37.13 | benjk | heh |
09:37.26 | gordonjcp | not really what you'd want to use as a daily driver anyway |
09:37.44 | benjk | a friend of mine in Europe used to be a driving salesman, he had a phobia of flying |
09:37.49 | gordonjcp | I have a CX and an XM as my daily drivers |
09:37.54 | benjk | so he drove the entire continent |
09:38.02 | gordonjcp | I can't be arsed flying, driving is much more fun |
09:38.23 | benjk | according to him, you can drive from Denmark to Munich in one go in a Merc |
09:38.37 | gordonjcp | I can believe it |
09:38.37 | benjk | but to Athens you can only do it in a Citroen |
09:38.40 | gordonjcp | lol |
09:38.48 | gordonjcp | they are very very comfortable |
09:39.11 | gordonjcp | benjk: my XM is as comfortable as a Bentley but can outhandle a Subaru Impreza |
09:39.12 | benjk | well, you probably know the difference between German and French car making |
09:39.23 | gordonjcp | benjk: yes |
09:39.31 | delmar | gotta love the speed limits in parts of EU.. or lack of. |
09:39.39 | benjk | the Germans would build the most advanced car with the latest tech and when they are done they realise ... |
09:39.41 | delmar | arent there parts of canada that are limitless too? |
09:39.42 | benjk | Oh shit!!! |
09:39.48 | gordonjcp | German cars, they need to fasten two parts so they make one extra thick and drill a blind hole and tap it |
09:39.49 | benjk | four people ought to go in there |
09:39.51 | benjk | dang |
09:39.56 | benjk | what are we going to do now? |
09:40.04 | benjk | so they put four chairs in |
09:40.21 | gordonjcp | French cars, they have a sort of spring washer, a stud with a hole up the middle, a kind of locking screw with a bristol spline head, and a thing a bit like a rawlplug |
09:40.35 | benjk | the French on the other hand will take 4 of the most comfortable living room arm chairs and build the car around it |
09:41.01 | gordonjcp | it's documented over four pages in the manual, and when you get to it, it's actually rusted into a blob because they didn't bother to cadmium-plate the steel bits, and made part of it out of aluminium |
09:41.15 | gordonjcp | benjk: haha |
09:41.35 | gordonjcp | benjk: I've actually fallen asleep in the CX, just parked up outside the house |
09:41.42 | benjk | heh |
09:41.48 | gordonjcp | sat for a moment to listen to the end of the news or something, and nodded off |
09:41.56 | benjk | when I lived in France I had a GSA |
09:41.59 | gordonjcp | my gf can fall asleep in the car driving across town |
09:42.04 | gordonjcp | GSAs rock! |
09:42.08 | benjk | the predecessor of the BX |
09:42.44 | gordonjcp | good for embarrassing ricers when the lights change... |
09:42.44 | benjk | that was 10 years old second or third hand, but it was marvellous |
09:43.08 | benjk | one of the best cars I had was a Renault 16TX |
09:43.31 | benjk | and I also had just about every BMW (3, 5, 7) and Merc |
09:44.04 | gordonjcp | http://www.gjcp.net/citroen_gsa.jpg |
09:44.08 | gordonjcp | ^ my old GSA |
09:44.18 | gordonjcp | I had a Merc 230TE, that was good |
09:44.31 | benjk | a French car may have a problem with things like wipers not working when the radio is on and it rains |
09:44.39 | benjk | or you may have a door lock rust off |
09:45.10 | gordonjcp | benjk: yes, my XM does occasionally complain about the ABS being out of use (in French) when it's low on petrol and raining |
09:45.19 | gordonjcp | the ABS is perfectly ok, it's just grumbling |
09:45.35 | benjk | but the stuff that you absolutely need to keep moving (and which is more expensive to repair or replace) will be rock solid |
09:45.41 | gordonjcp | yup |
09:45.49 | gordonjcp | the plumbing scares people, but it's easy to do |
09:45.57 | benjk | a German car will never have a door handle rust off |
09:46.13 | gordonjcp | I've got to replace a couple of bits of the hydraulic pipe in the CX |
09:46.17 | benjk | and it will never show any weird electrical behaviour with radio, wipers and stuff |
09:46.30 | gordonjcp | benjk: yeah but just you try and buy a set of brake discs ;-) |
09:46.51 | benjk | but if you have a tiny little problem with the cooling and you don't immediately go to the next garage, you will look at a hefty bill for a new engine |

09:47.57 | benjk | I had a BMW 525 which lost a tiny little bit of cooling water |
09:48.08 | benjk | I noticed it barely |
09:48.25 | benjk | I thought I could drive the 30 kms back home and bring it to the garage there |
09:48.35 | benjk | engine exitus after 5kms |
09:49.08 | benjk | I also had a Renault 4 which I drove for 20.000 without any oil |
09:49.14 | benjk | I didn't know it then |
09:49.39 | benjk | but the gear shift was so heavy that I got back pain from the exercise |
09:49.53 | gordonjcp | heh |
09:49.53 | benjk | and after the winter season, I was to change the oil |
09:49.58 | benjk | what oil? |
09:50.03 | benjk | there was no oil in there |
09:50.08 | gordonjcp | benjk: my XM dropped its coolant one dark and wet morning |
09:50.14 | benjk | ok, so lets put some oil in |

09:51.53 | benjk | yeah, the French have to build their cars that way because there are regions in France where there is no garage for 50 kms |

10:03.51 | benjk | do you mean a predictive dialer? |
10:04.12 | benjk | like telemarketers use? |
10:04.28 | benjk | if so, there is vicidial for asterisk |
10:05.45 | benjk | otherwise, you may want to explain in more detail |
10:08.02 | gordonjcp | benjk: you need to get Lucas string, the ends are a slightly different size |
10:08.05 | Un1x | benjk i just need to call people from a list play a certain recording and wait for input via DAILPAD and have that input stored into a txt file |
10:10.14 | benjk | I see |
10:10.59 | benjk | could be done either way |

18:01.55 | KDan | why would this agi record() call fail? ::: $agi->record_file("/asterisk/test", "gsm", "0#", 10000, null, true, 1); |
18:02.23 | KDan | it just doesn't record anything... test.gsm stays size 0, and the php script never exits |
18:04.08 | clyrrad | my guess is your record_file call is not correct |
18:04.21 | clyrrad | if the agi hangs and never exists then its getting stuck in there |
18:04.45 | KDan | the asterisk console also never says anything about recording stuff - although i do hear the beep |
18:04.48 | clyrrad | also ps aux and check if you have multiple copies of the agi running - if so kill them |
18:04.59 | KDan | yeah i've killed them |
18:05.15 | clyrrad | check the syntax of record_file |
18:05.22 | clyrrad | do you need "/asterisk/test" |
18:05.28 | clyrrad | or just "asterisk/test" |
18:05.29 | KDan | it is correct according to the docs |
18:05.34 | clyrrad | it can be something really simple like that |
18:05.44 | KDan | (which admittedly are very sparse docs) |
18:05.57 | KDan | http://eder.us/projects/phpagi/phpagi/api-docs/phpAGI/AGI.html#record_file |
18:05.57 | clyrrad | yea im betting its a mistake in the parameters |
18:06.12 | KDan | <PROTECTED> |
18:06.22 | clyrrad | not sure if this wil make a difference but remove the spaces between parameters |
18:06.28 | muppetmaster | I am trying to use Dial(Jingle/realadd@gmail.com) to an address that does have the Gtalk client installed on Windows, but I keep getting the message 'no jingle capable client to talk' back from the CLI and the call does not go through. |

18:06.37 | muppetmaster | Any ideas? |
18:06.51 | clyrrad | also have you instantiated your agi object? |
18:06.56 | KDan | yep |

18:07.47 | clyrrad | take out "gsm" and put "wav" |
18:08.28 | KDan | ok |
18:09.36 | clyrrad | also you should be in the format like this $AGI->record_file($wavfile, 'wav', '0123456789', 1080000, 1); |
18:09.58 | KDan | k now it creates a 44-bytes long wav file but still hangs |
18:10.12 | clyrrad | ah so we getting somewhere |
18:10.19 | clyrrad | its your parameters that are wrong then |
18:10.33 | KDan | well not really, since the wav still is effectively useless |
18:10.36 | KDan | and the script still hangs |
18:11.01 | clyrrad | like I said your arguments must be wrong becase it never exits the record_file call |
18:11.07 | clyrrad | have you changed your format like this $AGI->record_file($wavfile, 'wav', '0123456789', 1080000, 1); |
18:12.21 | clyrrad | all exampls that i find are using single quote instead of double - i know PHP dont care - but try and see if thats whats snagging it |
18:13.04 | KDan | $agi->record_file('/asterisk/test', 'wav', '0123456789', 1080000, 1); |
18:13.07 | KDan | trying with this now |

18:13.23 | clyrrad | <PROTECTED> |

18:14.24 | clyrrad | unless they are integers then obviously you dont need quotes |
18:14.49 | clyrrad | yea - put the file name in double quotes as in the example above |
18:15.33 | KDan | created the 44-byte wav again... php stil lhanging |
18:15.42 | toerkeium | mornings |
18:15.42 | clyrrad | paste your line |
18:15.51 | KDan | single/double quotes in php are only for escaping purposes |
18:16.07 | KDan | ie they use single quotes fo rthe second param there so that they can have '""' instead of "\"\"" |
18:16.09 | clyrrad | I know - but AGI strange sometimes |
18:16.14 | KDan | ok |
18:16.30 | KDan | will try the same as above line for line then (Except for the file name |

18:17.43 | KDan | $agi->stream_file("beep", '""'); |
18:17.46 | KDan | trying now |
18:18.46 | KDan | same result |
18:18.53 | clyrrad | actually |
18:18.56 | KDan | (except 0-byte gsm instead of 44-byte wav) |
18:18.57 | clyrrad | here is the function prototype |

18:19.40 | KDan | that's what i pasted earlier :-) |
18:19.54 | clyrrad | so $agi->record_file("/asterisk/test", 'GSM', '0', 3000,NULL,1,0); |
18:20.11 | clyrrad | I found it here: http://phpagi.sourceforge.net/phpagi2/docs/phpAGI/AGI.html#methodrecord_file |
18:20.48 | KDan | yeah that's the same description as on the eder.us site |
18:21.01 | clyrrad | what happens when you use the line i put above |
18:21.22 | KDan | trying |

18:22.21 | KDan | trying lowercase |
18:22.52 | clyrrad | its case sensitive? lol |
18:23.41 | KDan | same as before... hangs and produces a 0-byte .gsm |

18:23.54 | clyrrad | can you paste bin your PHP |

18:27.07 | Flauto | no |
18:27.13 | Qwell | What do you have? |
18:27.13 | Flauto | so, i should get 1.2? |
18:27.22 | clyrrad | and put a $agi->say_digits("12345"); after record just to see if it really is not getting there |
18:27.37 | Qwell | Flauto: Just do a `svn update`, then try again |
18:27.51 | Flauto | okay |
18:27.54 | clyrrad | howdy Qwell |
18:28.34 | clyrrad | KDan - does it do the last say_digits ? |
18:28.44 | Flauto | qwell, i got this same thing after the update |
18:28.47 | KDan | let me try that |
18:29.38 | techie | menuselect hell |
18:29.48 | KDan | nope, can't hear the digits |
18:29.51 | KDan | (At the end) |
18:30.13 | Flauto | i thought i would run into problems on zaptel installation with centos, but i did not at all |
18:30.25 | clyrrad | damn... its like that function is hanging waiting on something.... how are you trying to end the recording? |
18:31.07 | KDan | pressing 0. i'm going to try doing the recording directly from the dialplan, see if that works (thanks techie for the suggestion) |
18:31.11 | clyrrad | and does the function ever reach its timeout parameter and stop? |
18:31.25 | KDan | no, it doesn't seem to reach them. let me just try doing a standard record |
18:31.30 | KDan | see whether that works.. |
18:32.40 | Flauto | qwell, i got the same thing |
18:32.48 | Flauto | after updated |
18:32.58 | Flauto | anything else i can do |
18:33.10 | Qwell | Don't use trunk, if you don't know how to figure out what broke... |
18:34.58 | KDan | exten => _X.,4,Record(dan-message:gsm) |
18:35.02 | KDan | also hangs :-( |
18:35.31 | KDan | with a 0-byte .gsm |
18:36.04 | clyrrad | i wonder if its not getting the DTMF to tell it to stop recording |
18:36.21 | Qwell | # terminates Record(), not 0 |
18:36.36 | KDan | i tried # as well. let me try again to make sure. |
18:37.37 | KDan | same result |
18:37.55 | KDan | it just doesn't hear the DTMFs, and never puts anything in the file... could it be that x-lite doesn't send the DTMF's properly? |
18:37.56 | clyrrad | it looks like its not getting the DTMF from your phone to tell it to stop |
18:37.56 | Qwell | set a maxduration of like 5 |
18:38.19 | KDan | k |
18:38.44 | clyrrad | what version of Asterisk are you running KDan? |
18:39.15 | KDan | exten => _X.,4,Record(dan-message:gsm|5|5) |
18:39.17 | KDan | 1.2.10 |
18:40.04 | KDan | ok it did time out and hang up |
18:40.15 | KDan | but the .gsm file is still empty |
18:40.33 | clyrrad | so looks like i may be correct its not getting the DTMF when you press # |
18:40.42 | clyrrad | are you using an OLD phone? |
18:40.46 | clyrrad | or is it a newer one |
18:40.52 | KDan | i'm using the latest version of x-lite |
18:40.58 | clyrrad | ahhhhhhhhh |
18:41.02 | KDan | about as new as it gets :-) |
18:41.05 | clyrrad | do you have a hardware phone |
18:41.15 | KDan | yes, but my asterisk is not connected to the pstn atm |
18:41.22 | clyrrad | does not have to be |
18:41.26 | Qwell | hardware phone isn't going to solve anything |
18:41.41 | clyrrad | well i want to rule out if its his config in the software phone |
18:41.42 | Qwell | Just make sure you have the same dtmfmode in both sides |
18:42.01 | clyrrad | if the hardware phone works and the software one dont - then we know the issue is in the phone and not asterisk |
18:42.08 | clyrrad | anyway im betting its the DTMF |
18:42.12 | clyrrad | what do you have it set to? |
18:42.40 | KDan | haven't even touched the x-lite dtmf setting |
18:42.48 | KDan | trying to find it |
18:42.54 | clyrrad | im betting its wrong |
18:42.55 | yatesy | just by chance, does anyone know of a device that'll do FXO and FXS in one box that then connects to a machine running asterisk using ethernet? i can't get a PCI card caus the asterisk machine runs OpenBSD |
18:42.58 | clyrrad | let me know what its set to |
18:43.08 | Qwell | yatesy: sipura spa3000 |
18:43.09 | clyrrad | also its connected with SIP right? |
18:43.17 | KDan | yes |
18:43.30 | clyrrad | ok find the DTMF setting |
18:43.49 | KDan | can't see a DTMF setting in x-lite |
18:44.12 | clyrrad | its there you just gotta find it |
18:44.57 | yatesy | Qwell: thanks, looking into it now |
18:45.46 | joburg | <PROTECTED> |
18:48.40 | KDan | even if the dtmf's are not being sent, surely the recording should work? |
18:48.52 | KDan | ie cut off after 5 seconds and dump what's already been recorded? |
18:49.05 | clyrrad | one step at a time my friend |
18:49.09 | clyrrad | first you need to find that setting |
18:49.32 | KDan | yeah, it's not in the snazzy x-lite interface. it appears they don't care about such mundane settings :-) |
18:49.51 | clyrrad | that is a pretty important setting |
18:50.34 | KDan | perhaps... got a better softphone to recommend? |
18:50.51 | clyrrad | I only ever used XLite |
18:50.57 | clyrrad | but if you have a hardware phone try it |
18:51.05 | clyrrad | that will rule out so many variables |
18:51.09 | KDan | can't - no pstn or hardware connection |
18:51.15 | clyrrad | im betting your config is fine and hte softphone is screwed |
18:51.17 | KDan | just plain old IP |
18:51.29 | clyrrad | you have an IP phone? |
18:51.36 | clyrrad | ohhh you have just a regular phone...? |
18:51.38 | KDan | xlite is an IP phone |
18:51.45 | clyrrad | no a hardware IP phone |
18:51.50 | KDan | no, i don't |
18:52.14 | clyrrad | no ata? |
18:52.26 | KDan | ata? |
18:52.44 | clyrrad | k that answers my question hehe you dont have it |
18:52.48 | joburg | dial from your console |
18:52.50 | KDan | :-) |
18:52.57 | KDan | joburg: how do i do that? |
18:53.01 | clyrrad | errrr the softphone is your prolblem it would bet money on it if I was a gambling man |
18:53.20 | joburg | use the dial command from your console |
18:53.34 | joburg | then use it again to dial the digits |
18:53.45 | KDan | but then it definitely won't record anything? |
18:53.57 | joburg | to end simply use the hangup command |
18:54.26 | joburg | it will record if you have a speaker/microphone |
18:54.39 | joburg | the console is the best softphone for asterisk |
18:55.10 | KDan | well, the console is running on a dell server in my friend's bathroom, 2 hours away by train :-) |
18:55.17 | KDan | so i'd need a pretty serious microphone |

20:47.39 | pcm | anyone needs a bounty coded/made ? |
20:50.33 | rogier | if I set autoload=yes in modules.conf , all modules should be loaded automatically right ? Not working here.... |

20:51.03 | pcm | and what doesn't load ? |
20:51.27 | rogier | Well, specifcally the chan_sip.so module, but also no codec is loaded |
20:51.50 | pcm | the reason is that chan_sip propably blocks |
20:51.59 | pcm | since one of the ports it tries to request is used by something else |
20:52.12 | pcm | stop asterisk |
20:52.13 | pcm | netstat -l |
20:52.24 | pcm | check if 5060 or other port is used ... |
20:52.29 | pcm | kill the guilty process |
20:52.31 | pcm | or reboot the box |
20:52.34 | pcm | try again |
20:52.38 | rogier | If I hardcode chan_sip.so in modules.conf to be loaded, it does indeed block, but if I load it from the asterisk shell, everything works... |
20:52.58 | pcm | ok, then try this |
20:53.03 | pcm | put unload => chan_sip.so |
20:53.08 | pcm | and from CLI load chan_sip.so |
20:53.25 | pcm | it propably will block the CLI ... |

21:57.37 | shmaltz | and by "on regular POTS" I mean that the phone number does NOT belong to a cell phone |
21:57.54 | rg1_ | ANYONE know if you can make some adjustment on asterisk to account for ambient noise - so that for it to detect "silence" it will do that if someone is not talking - but yet there is background noise? |

22:01.52 | shmaltz | shodan the seceond best workaround and a bit cheaper is to PORT the number (not forward) to a VoIP provider (like vongage) and use their call fowarding services, which usualy will allow you for more than one call to be forwarded. |

22:09.08 | shmaltz | shodan, you followed the link? |
22:09.11 | shodan | shmaltz, that Remote Call Forwarding, it costs long distance to the receiver for each call right ? |
22:09.16 | shodan | yes |
22:09.43 | shmaltz | shodan, of course, so does it now, it's actualy cheaper than what you pay now ($53) |
22:09.58 | Skyelar | With the Asterisk 1.2 Manager API, is there any way to match up a synchronous Originate with the associated Newchannel? |
22:10.11 | shmaltz | also each talkpath will cost some more money (like $8 per month in the US) |
22:10.29 | shmaltz | Skyelar, you mean brdige 2 known channels? |
22:11.00 | shmaltz | Skyelar, the best you can hope for is dump them both in a meetme room |

22:11.36 | shmaltz | Skyelar, you don't need unitque ID for that |
22:12.52 | Skyelar | shmaltz: this is in the manager API, not the dialplan - the success response to the Originate doesn't contain any information that I can see for matching up later Newchannel / Newexten / etc. events to the initial Originate |
22:13.11 | shodan | shmaltz, I haven't received the first bill yet but are you saying I will have to pay long distance charge on top of the 53$/month ? the old number is in 450-754 and the new number is in 450-755 I can call this number toll-free but it costs long distance to forward ? |
22:13.13 | shmaltz | SKyekar, yes it does |

22:15.48 | Skyelar | shmaltz: all I get back from Originate is "Response: Success\nActionID: XXX\nMessage: Originate successfully queued" - shortly afterwards, there's a Newchannel event, but I can find nothing to match the two together (_reliably_ - without looking at just Channel, which leaves me open to a race condition) |
22:16.59 | shmaltz | Skyelar, the channel info will always hold: |
22:17.01 | shmaltz | 1. The channel you originated the call to + numbers if any. |
22:17.02 | shmaltz | 2. The other end of the channel (dial command etc.) which in most practical cases is unique enough |

22:20.04 | Skyelar | shmaltz: you understand I'm talking about the manager interface, right? I can't see how to tell if a Newchannel event is the result of my Originate, or of someone else calling them at the same time. |
22:20.33 | shmaltz | Skyelar, I do understand you are talking about the manager API. |
22:21.05 | Skyelar | shmaltz: is this race just something I'll have to live with for the moment? |
22:21.06 | shmaltz | Skyelar, I personaly have never worked with the manager API, but I'm sure that the manager API has got as much info as asterisk CLI command: show channels |
22:21.31 | shmaltz | if it doesn't then you can use shell: asterisk -rx "show channels" |
22:21.39 | shmaltz | then a grep for you channel |
22:21.53 | shmaltz | then: asterisk -rx "show channel justgrepted" |

22:23.06 | shmaltz | good day guys |
22:23.20 | Skyelar | shmaltz: unfortunately it doesn't, so I'll have to keep working on it... or patching it :) |
22:23.30 | Skyelar | shmaltz: thanks for your help |
22:23.47 | shmaltz | Skylear, patching is not the solution as the info is available as I showed you thru the shell |
22:25.13 | Skyelar | (belately) unfortunately not in any way I can see |
22:25.19 | rg1_ | for Record() - is there an easy/any way to know if the recording was stopped because of "Silence" or if the user pressed the "*" key? |
