00:32.07xanderpanyone with a working asterisk box able to call me via a sip call to verify that my system is receiveing incoming calls?  I think my VOIP provider has it's routes screwed up again, I can call out, but not receive calls.
00:34.25[TK]D-Fenderxanderp: Call you how?
00:35.06xanderpHmm
00:35.28xanderpI know there's a way to call a sip extension directly, but am drawing a blank... been about a year since I've done it.
00:35.59xanderplike 6002@www.mypbx.com kind of format...
00:36.08xanderpsomething like that
00:36.24xanderpcrap
00:36.35[TK]D-Fenderxanderp: is that the exact URI?
00:36.36xanderpwould have to be from a sip software phone, not from asterisk
00:36.49xanderpno... just an example
00:36.56[TK]D-Fenderxanderp: xanderp and what do you mean "not from asterisk"?
00:37.21xanderpI forgot that when I was direct dialing for testing it wasn't from asterisk, but from a softphone on the pc.
00:37.43[TK]D-Fenderxanderp: Ok, well if you want someone to direct-call you, provider the URI
00:38.00xanderpi'm not sure of the format...
00:38.16xanderpmy system is www.xanderp.com and the extension to call would be 6002.
00:38.40[TK]D-Fenderxanderp: pastebin your sip.conf & extensions.conf masking only passwords
00:38.57xanderp?
00:39.00[TK]D-Fenderxanderp: and FYI I don't see what this proves about your provider...
00:39.24xanderpi wanted to prove that my router/asterisk box was receiveing incoming calls, just not from them.
00:39.44xanderpguess it wouldn't do that aye?
00:40.32[TK]D-Fendercalling
00:40.37xanderpI think i can call directly from googletalk by doing soemthing like 6002:www.xanderp.com or possibly 6002@www.xanderp.com or something like that... i had it working before.
00:41.15[TK]D-Fenderxanderp: No SIP response at all
00:41.17xanderphmm
00:42.33xanderpwhen i do a sip show peers it shows my trunk as OK, so I would think that inbound calls would work.  I haven't changed anything on my configs in forever, and just the past 2 days it stopped incoming calls only.  i can still place calls.
00:43.11xanderpi'm going to try to remote into my work and test connecting back into my home from there.
00:43.39[TK]D-Fenderxanderp: this is the part where I distrust EVERYTHING.  You aren't showing anything.
00:45.15xanderpI think there's a way to telnet to the sip port to see if it's listening isn't there?
00:45.15Nuggettelnet is eeeeeeevil!
00:45.58[TK]D-Fenderxanderp: Dump your firewalls, check your IP's, check your SIP config, you should have been watching for debug when I called, SHOW YOUR CONFIGS, etc
00:48.25[TK]D-Fenderyup, another complete waste of time.

01:04.14ryoohkithe receptionist phone has stop ringing and is going straight to voice mail
01:04.16[TK]D-FenderJoshieP0x: Depends on the machines spec, and your needs
01:04.19jqlit'll run on a wocketwatch. whether is will work depends on what you're asking of it.
01:04.25bobnormalhey i'm having problems setting up sip peers in asterisk realtime.  i've got users working fine already.  trying to register with voipbuster, but can't get the entry in to the table corresponding to sip_peers (same as sip_users, which works fine) to show up in 'sip show registry' output.  anyone done this before?

01:07.34bobnormalJoshieP0x, fine
01:07.57JoshieP0xbobnormal: Fine?
01:08.21giantrobotare there any large companies using asterisk in a production environment?
01:09.32bobnormalJoshieP0x, as long as you dont want too many lines and heavy codec conversion
01:09.36jqldepends on the definition of large. Lots of customers? Lots of minutes? Lots of dollars?
01:10.00bobnormalJoshieP0x, also depends on the hardware, cheap zaptel cards bleed interrupts which can cause jittery machines
01:10.09jqlthe answer is probably yes for all of those, anyways
01:10.10bobnormalJoshieP0x, but if you try it and your needs are minimal you'll likely have success
01:10.10ryoohkianyone know the default password on these polycom phones?  i can

01:11.41jqlgiantrobot: once you get familiar with asterisk, it's funny how many times you hear the default prompts and music from asterisk on other companies' IVRs
01:11.51ryoohkijql: what is the diff between local setting and device config?
01:12.00[TK]D-FenderJoshieP0x: Modems will not work.  You need a compatible FXO interface

01:13.29jqlgiantrobot: it comes with a couple of dialplan scripting languages, and a couple of external interfaces
01:13.33[TK]D-FenderJoshieP0x: Describe your actual needs
01:14.16jqlgiantrobot: and there's an internal database as well as external plugins for a couple more

01:16.05JoshieP0x[TK]D-Fender: Well, I'm not sure how this all works.
01:16.17JoshieP0xI just learned about SIPs yesterday
01:16.20[TK]D-FenderJoshieP0x: What do you WANT?
01:16.29JoshieP0xso something to learn with
01:16.33giantrobotjql, the thing is, ive got a customer, straight mac shop... they want softphones and most of the standard pbx companies use proprietary softphone clients

01:17.05JoshieP0xanswering machines
01:17.05jqlmeh. free softphones are fine. the proprietary ones are mainly raped with branding
01:17.18[TK]D-FenderJoshieP0x: And when it comes time to consider hardware then that is another matter
01:17.21JoshieP0xthats fine
01:17.57giantrobotjql, what about hunt groups, line appearances
01:18.15giantrobotjql, does that work on softphones and ip hard phones?
01:18.26jqlonce you desire BLF functionality, softphone selection gets more entertaining
01:18.32JoshieP0xwill that Oriely * book teach me about softphones and how to setup * with them
01:18.38giantrobotjql, thats what i was wondering
01:18.39JoshieP0xI have Time Warner
01:18.42jqlbut, yeah
01:18.47[TK]D-FenderJoshieP0x: very basic stuff..
01:18.54JoshieP0xI want to know how to get the SIP settings
01:19.00[TK]D-FenderJoshieP0x: Should have some quick samples.  We can help out with the rest
01:19.13giantrobotjql, point being, there is an ip hardphone/softphone that do and dont support it
01:19.17JoshieP0x[TK]D-Fender: What should? The book?
01:19.20giantrobotis/are

01:30.10giantrobotCorydon76-dig, nice
01:30.12Corydon76-diggiantrobot: the main issue is the patent-encumbered video codecs
01:30.26giantrobotgiantrobot, hmmm
01:31.10giantrobotCorydon76-dig, video voicemail?
01:31.10Corydon76-digIf we could get past that, then we could look into video mixing
01:31.23Corydon76-digYes, Asterisk supports video voicemail today
01:31.27giantrobotCorydon76-dig, nice
01:31.47giantrobotcan the video voicemail be watched on any of the hardware phones?
01:31.52giantrobotip of course
01:32.25Corydon76-digYes, in fact, I've done it on the Grandstream GXV-3000
01:32.31giantrobotim trying to justify paying 300 bucks for that high end grandstream
01:32.53[TK]D-Fenderhigh end grandstream = "deluxe" crap?
01:32.56[TK]D-Fender~gs
01:32.56jbotGrandSuck phones & gateways are cheap junk which should be avoided with extreme prejudice.
01:32.57Corydon76-digHeh, the "high end" Grandstream is the cheapest video phone on the market
01:32.59[TK]D-Fender~grandstream
01:32.59jboti heard grandstream is the Yugo of VoIP hardware.  Run.  Run away now.
01:33.07giantrobotha
01:33.09jqlfun thing about video-phones is that you have to order two for "testing purposes". tee hee hee
01:33.52Corydon76-digIf Grandstream is the Yugo, Cisco is the Astin-Martin.  Vastly overpriced for the functionality
01:33.56giantrobotare any companies formally offering support?

01:36.37Corydon76-digOr you can go with the free community support
01:36.43giantrobotCorydon76-dig, im going to pitch this to my partner, im trying to get all of my selling points established
01:36.52bobnormalgiantrobot: asterisk is the sort of thing companies  need someone cluey to analyse needs, explain possibilities, spec a deployment, configure, and maintain
01:36.59Corydon76-digThe only difference is that contracts get priority from Digium
01:37.20giantrobotbobnormal, thats why i think its a good fit for my business
01:37.22bobnormalgiantrobot, it can do or integrate with almost ANYTHING ... billing, automation, faxing, presence, single sign on, etc...
01:37.35giantroboti do custome solutions, software, hardware, dev
01:37.52bobnormalgiantrobot, i know what you mean - if i wasn't in china starting something else, i'd be running an asterisk-focused consultancy right now
01:37.59JoshieP0x[TK]D-Fender: What is a live CD?
01:38.08Corydon76-diggiantrobot: for a long time, my employer used the fact that a core Asterisk developer was on his staff
01:38.21Corydon76-dig(as a selling point)

06:18.16CrashSysI'm going away from the big heavy 1U's and going to SuperMicro half-depth 1U mini-cases... the SC-503 with front-mounted IO... going to be double-racking my rack :)
06:18.18kerxit just can't do it
06:18.27kerxwhoever is able to get Asterisk's CDR's to work properly
06:18.28kerxI bow to them
06:18.45jqlmy company managed to drop supermicros. the rails for them suck(ed)
06:18.45CrashSysI am able to get asterisk CDR's to work properly :)
06:18.50jqldell rails are sweet
06:19.06kerxCrashSys, how!
06:19.15CrashSysHowever, I run everything through a set of asterisk servers that act as a gateway, so everything is in then out :)
06:19.29kerxhow did u get that gateway to work?
06:19.32CrashSysI gave up trying to get useful CDR's from vicidial (and it's obsessively high use of locals)
06:19.49kerxi started using Local, because I thought it would work
06:20.00kerxbefore I was just sending it directly to  SIP/provider/xxxxnnn
06:20.00CrashSysI compiled mysql CDR's using asterisk-addon's...
06:20.05kerxI've done that also
06:20.14kerxStill has the Disposition set to "NO ANSWER" and 0 in the billsec
06:20.18kerxon all answered calls
06:20.21CrashSysthen my context for outbound basically checks the sending caller-id, if it's allowed, issues a dial command to the PSTN
06:20.23CrashSysand that's it
06:20.38kerxexactly what i do basically
06:20.41kerxDial() to the PSTN
06:20.44CrashSysone second, i'll pastebin my extensions and iax.conf for you
06:20.54kerxthanks, i appreciate it a lot
06:21.11kerxi was almost ready to trying to setup a OpenSER machine to Proxy all the call's through it
06:21.19kerxand use the acc.so module
06:21.44CrashSysI am stuck with Asterisk because I need to transcode from ulaw (inside) to gsm (outside) on my sip provider :)
06:21.55jqljoy
06:22.12codefreeze-lapkerx: known probs in last asterisk release with getting the disposition right; might try the latest svn... are you using 1.4?
06:22.19CrashSysopenser is just a packet router essentially
06:22.25jqlhow kind of your telco enforce downsampling. :)
06:22.27CrashSysand proxy/sbc
06:22.58kerxCrashSys, i know, but i can send all calls through it
06:23.45kerxcodefreeze-lap, i've done svn on 1.4 and svn on 1.6, both same stuff
06:24.10codefreeze-laphmmmm. I'll make another round on the cdr bugs tom.
06:24.29kerxdo u want anything from me?
06:24.31CrashSyshttp://pastebin.ca/1288387
06:24.49CrashSysthe first part is my context that the dialer/server dials into on my gateway
06:24.56codefreeze-lapI did fix some probs; maybe they are still patches. Too tired to look; matter of fact, I'm off to sleep.
06:25.00CrashSysthe second part is the iax.conf entry I set up on the dialer/server and the gateway
06:25.29CrashSysI have 3 gateways so I set the userfield equal to the gateway to know where the call came from incase I have issues I can correlate them to providers :)
06:25.37kerxCrashSys, i pretty much do the same
06:26.02CrashSyslocals and CDR's get pretty damn ugly, plus with the way ViciDial dialplans are there is no clean way to do CDR's
06:26.20kerxi'm not using vicidial
06:26.22CrashSysSo, I measure from the provider end, which is good cause I move all transcoding away from the dialers and just send ulaw to them :)

06:27.38CrashSyshave fun
06:27.40kerxi'm gonna see how my CDR's come out on call originates
06:27.43kerxand see the diff.
06:28.00kerxCrashSys, what does  _X.  mean in ur dialplan?
06:28.19CrashSysMatch any numeric number
06:28.27CrashSysthat is at least longer then 1 digit
06:28.29kerxdoes it actually store it?
06:28.33kerxand use it?
06:28.53drmessano^A Dell 4U?
06:28.54CrashSysYes, but the CDR will write the source as recieved not as set later...
06:29.00drmessano^How many users?
06:29.16CrashSysIf the server sends 0000000000 initially that is what will get written in the CDR, even tho I set the CID later
06:29.37CrashSysI haven't had very good luck doing a Set(CDR(source)=7275551212) before
06:30.02CrashSysPlus I have a script that parses it all out from the lastdata column and formats it correctly to give me billable CDR's :)
06:30.11CrashSysit's all done in SQL to so it's pretty quick/easy
06:31.16kerxdrmessano^, yeah
06:31.53kerxok, i'll report if any success w/ asterisknow
06:32.24*** join/#asterisk jaytee (n=jforde05@unaffiliated/jaytee)
06:32.45CrashSysMonster servers dont really equal capacity with asterisk :)
06:32.57CrashSysMaybe 1.6 will change that
06:33.04jayteehow so?
06:33.25CrashSysYou hit a software limit on channels long before you hit a hardware limit
06:33.37CrashSys300 or so channels is about where asterisk becomes finicky
06:33.38kerxyes
06:33.58kerxmaximum 300 w/ dualcore and 2gb ram i was able to do, before i had call quality problems
06:34.01jqlasterisk is sadly O(n)
06:34.08jqlat best
06:34.09kerxi was using g729 tho
06:34.28CrashSysyou scale Asterisk horizontally, not vertically :)
06:34.38jqlalthough I admit, coming up with a channel hash is a painful idea
06:35.00jaytee300 channels? so 200 sip phones plus 92 b channels on PRI would be pushing it?
06:35.22jqlthe number is phones is irrelevant; it's the number of active calls
06:35.35CrashSysDepends on concurrent call volume
06:35.46CrashSys300 is active channels, not attached devices
06:36.08jqlasterisk could probably stomach a couple-thousand phone registrations without choking. openser could go towards a couple hundred-thousand
06:36.55jayteeother than using CDR with SQL and some "nifty" query how would one determine what the peak concurrent call volume is?
06:36.56CrashSysYeah, but the learning curve from asterisk to openSER is mind-numbing...
06:37.21jqlfailure_route[1] { omgwtfbbq }
06:37.46CrashSysjaytee do samples of CDR records every 15 minutes for a day, average that over a couple weeks, ?????, profit
06:38.02CrashSys<PROTECTED>
06:38.32CrashSysYou could use nagios or something like that to poll the AMI and log how many channels it has active every 5 minutes and generate statistics fromt hat
06:38.33jayteeCrashSys, that's kind of along the lines of what I was thinking
06:38.37CrashSysmaybe MRTG can be made to do that
06:39.16CrashSysInfact, I think the guy who wrote MRTG has an Asterisk Plug-In for MRTG to check the AMI, but it does it by channel-type not total channel...
06:39.42CrashSysBut for a regular phone system your channel load should be mostly symmetrical so you probably just need to monitor SIP channels :)
06:40.42jayteeI have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 Quad Xeon 4GB RAM with 1 TE212P card sitting on my outbound span of a PRI and connected to an Option 11C's outbound span so calls route between the two pbx's and to the telco. All inbound calls currently go through the Option 11C. I've got a second TE212P card but haven't installed it yet. I've also got a second server for failover/redunancy.
06:41.50CrashSysYour highest feasible concurrent volume is 48 channels (2-T1's)
06:41.51jayteeI'm trying to determine the best strategy for moving forward on this as I migrate more users off the Nortel. The end goal is to decommission the Option 11C.
06:42.02CrashSysunless you have some kind of conference call, but it's still minimal
06:42.11jaytee46 since 2 channels are D channels
06:42.42CrashSysWhy not just a 4-port T1 card?
06:43.49jayteeCrashSys, I work for a non-profit. I have the skillset to make things work but I don't have the authority, budget control etc. to do things the way I think would be best. I'm basically being micromanaged into the ground.

06:48.50CrashSysI'm surrounded by under-qualified IT staffs all day... I have to dumb it down a few levels so they can sound important and justify their existence to management :)
06:48.56jqlif there's caveats, you'd have to warn us about em

06:50.28CrashSysNever got much into wine... I do enjoy a good beer tho...
06:50.38jayteeI'm just thinking when I add a second card so that I can have both may inbound T1 and my current outbound T1 to the telco both going through Asterisk to my Option 11C whether I should setup 1 card with both spans from the telco or split the spans from the telco over both cards.
06:51.21CrashSysJaytee: Wont matter, just whatever method you start with stick with it... nothing will mess with your mind like changing methods half-way through an implementation :)
06:52.45jqlI don't know the details of card timing, but that's the only consideration I'd make as far as distributing telco T1s
06:52.47CrashSysIs faxing going through these spans or separate copper?
06:52.54jqltiming is a bitch
06:53.28CrashSysYeah, but timing is SUPPOSED to be generated internally on the card when you play CO :)
06:53.45jayteeCrashSys, understood. I'm just looking for input/feedback. In the back of my mind I've got questions as to which would be the best scenario. If I put both spans to the telco on the same card and they take timing from the telco and both spans to the Option 11C providing timing to the Nortel side as PRI_NET it might be better.
06:54.17CrashSysI'd have port 1 on each card be a CO PRI, and port 2 be the option 11C
06:54.32CrashSysjust based on past experience with older digium cards/drivers...
06:54.33jayteecurrently I've only got the one 2 port card with 1 span taking timing from the telco and the other providing timing to the Nortel and it works fine.
06:54.34jqlI'd probably do the same
06:55.04jqlin fact, I'm doing something similar
06:55.07jayteeso stick with the config I have and just duplicate it with the other card
06:55.28CrashSysSure, if it's working stick with it :)

07:23.55rue_deskI discovered the bad paramiter naming already
07:24.01jqlI've been waiting for someone to buy (me) a 4k, though
07:24.16CrashSysYEah, polycom should really come down on the price on those things
07:24.18rue_deskthe odd thing is, I had the aastra working through 2 firewalls to my * server at home
07:24.39rue_deskand I cant get it to even try to register with a local server
07:24.49rue_deskgot the polycom working
07:24.59Miccrue_desk, I've had strange things happen with those aastras that nothing could fix. Then I reset back to factory defaults and re entered all the data just the same and it worked.
07:25.07CrashSysJust remember, forward UDP 5060:5069 and 10000:20000 to your asterisk server for it to work through a firewall, then define your external IP and internal subnets in sip.conf and have nat=yes :)
07:25.45CrashSysMicc: I ran into that with an old client with Aastra 480i's... they would loose their mind after 3-4 months and then require a factory reset and reprovisioning
07:25.48Miccrue_desk, if you've been changing a lot of settings and just doing the phone reset, its probably time to write down all your settings changes and reset to factory defaults.
07:25.53rue_deskyea no, throught eh two firewalls to home wan't a problem
07:26.09rue_deskit was the machine sitting beside the phone, off the same switch, i couldn't connect to
07:26.13MiccCrashSys, I sure hope that doesn't happen to my clients. They have 3 or 4 480i's.
07:26.23rue_deskI think I tried a reset, I'll do again next try
07:26.29rue_deskbedtime!
07:26.31jqlall work and no play make Aastra something somthing
07:26.47CrashSysMicc: Well this client was running an old firmware and the company I was working for had a "If it's not broke, dont fix it" policy...
07:27.36CrashSysBut that was an old Microsoft shop I left to start my own company...

07:36.56CrashSysWe're trying to release version 2.0.5 but no one wants to write the documentation/manuals :D
07:37.22MiccCrashSys, what kind of outbound dialing plan do you give your customers? Anyway to get away with unlimited long distance? We can't seem to work an unlimited LD deal for call centers.
07:38.13jqlheh, unlimited calling is a gamble
07:38.14*** join/#asterisk reneger (n=reneger@p3EE2E1AC.dip.t-dialin.net)
07:38.19CrashSys"Unlimited Long Distance" is a product offering much like a "Widget" is a product offering... it is not defined by it's literal meaning but as defined in their marketings... it's usually around 30K-minutes/mo :)
07:38.22jayteeI'm a one man operation, not only have I had to design this beast but I've had to write all the documentation for it as well as the technical how-tos and training guides for my coworkers. At least I didn't have to write the end-user training guides, our trainer did that.
07:39.19MiccCrashSys, so what do you charge them for outbound dialing? do you have a rate sheet online?
07:39.19CrashSysMicc: We do a sliding scale depending on per-minute LD usage... 2.0 to 1.3 cents per minute
07:39.57CrashSysif you start peaking 250K/mo we go into negotiated pricing depending on your mix and commitment level... or you can stay at 1.3 without commitment
07:40.13MiccCrashSys, ok, that makes sense. We are thinking of doing the same but we don't know if we need to make money on LD, we may just start the sliding scale at 1.2.
07:40.23MiccBut it won't slide from there.
07:40.38CrashSysFor Sub-Prime rate centers we charge the difference between or prime-rate center the the rate-center you are dialing to or recieving a call from and just charge you that for the minutes you used...

07:41.36CrashSysI gave up on asterisk billing programs as they were either too generalized or didn't do exactly what we needed and have started custom-writing our own in PHP/PERL
07:41.48CrashSysit's rudimentary output but it's correct :) I'll eventually make it more user-friendly
07:42.31MiccCrashSys, sounds like you are a lot further along than we are. Would you be interested in selling some of your configs/scripts/programs?
07:42.34CrashSysFreeSide was the closest thing I could find to what we needed but it had too many realtime components for us
07:43.04CrashSysI wasn't sure how much load the Realtime would generate on rapid-dialing in Asterisk
07:43.11MiccRealtime will kill our scalability.
07:43.48CrashSysYeah... i'm looking at setting up rsync and having a cron job pull down the static files every hour or so :)
07:44.38CrashSysAnd maybe a perl script to run from cron to query an SQL billing database and set a variable in astdb to lock dialing in/out until bill is paid :)
07:44.55CrashSysMicc: I'll give you the asterisk parts... nothing that special there really
07:45.46CrashSysA good chunk of it is just highly-hacked code from here and voip-info.org anyways :)
07:49.00CrashSysI'll tell you what will help you a lot: A good SIP provider that wont jerk you around and a good independant data center with at least 2 tier 1 bandwidth providers in a LPR bandwidth mix (Least Path Routing)

08:08.33MiccCrashSys, what do you mean by they let you hook up directly to their SBC's?

08:09.16MiccCrashSys, they've been telling me they will switch me to a different host, but it hasn't happened yet.
08:09.30MiccDid you sign their carrier agreement?

08:10.02CrashSysdont think so... that the take or pay deal?

08:11.10MiccCrashSys, I got screwed then.
08:11.21CrashSysMicc: Yeah, but how many minutes/mo you doing?
08:11.30MiccCrashSys, none yet.
08:11.38CrashSysThey also like saying they have us around and we've sent lots of vicidial business to them
08:13.20MiccWe're having a problem getting local calls cheap.
08:13.33MiccIt looks like we'll have to do our own PRI.
08:13.49MiccI'd rather pay a third party to do the PRI hosting.
08:13.56CrashSyswe get inbound cheaper then outbound unless it's not a prime rate center :)
08:14.30MiccCrashSys, if your doing call centers they do a lot of LD anyways, so local doesn't matter much.
08:14.41MiccI figure about 85% of our calls will be local.
08:14.55MiccSo it will make sense for us to have a low cost local option.
08:15.15CrashSysYeah, i'm lucky if 1-2% of our calls would be considered local
08:15.21CrashSysso we just do all 1+ dialing
08:15.48MiccI'm doing a proposal for an 8 agent call center.
08:15.54MiccThats doing dialouts.
08:16.19MiccAnd they want to do multi-line dialouts per agent, where they can hit a button and have it offload that call while it leaves a message.
08:17.02CrashSysMmmm, not sure I follow you 100%
08:17.16CrashSysbut I think it's just semantics getting in the way
08:19.11MiccWe'll be making the calls from a web-site which will have a button to leave a message which will allow them to make another dial without waiting.
08:19.23MiccWe're itegrating with a local CRM vendor.
08:20.10MiccI need to learn how to use Microsoft InfoPath

14:12.44phpboyno

15:23.12kerxwhat i understand from the  core show application dial  is that the macro will be executed until the call is picked up?
15:23.40[TK]D-Fenderkerx: You said you want to make a log entry if its answered.  well... that macro gets called when its ANSWERED
15:24.08kerxoh, roger that... thanks for clarifying that.  it doesn't exactly state that in the  'core show app dial'

Almost like my provider is switching codes on me or something.  Thoughts?  Anyone?

15:34.41kerxthanks [TK]D-Fender
15:34.51CGMChristo clarify, if I restart my asterisk service or do a SIP reload, the problem goes away.
15:35.11CGMChrisCarlos_PHX: I am using a Peplink Balance 380 enterprise multi-wan router with SIP passthru and QoS
15:35.51CGMChrisjust like an expensive linksys that load balances 3 lines
15:35.55CGMChris:)
15:36.39Carlos_PHXNever heard of it.  What fixes the audio issue when it happens?
15:37.02Carlos_PHXSorry, just saw you answered that.
15:37.06phpboyTrentCreek: never done AGI stuff in PHP before
15:37.13phpboyI will be doing it soonish though
15:37.16phpboybut only next week
15:37.16Carlos_PHXTypically an audio issue is related to NAT.
15:37.37CGMChrisIts just odd that it works for days, and then on the 3rd or 4th day of running, it will stop working.
15:37.41TrentCreekphpboy: Well then in any script?
15:37.58Carlos_PHXMy guess is the router is forgetting the connection.  Have you changed the re-register time from the default?

15:39.18Carlos_PHXCGMChris: There's probably no really clear answer to this.  Losing audio while calls still go through has always been a NAT problem in my experience.  I think you're facing some troubleshooting like replacing the router or trying a different server and/or different ITSP.

19:13.06mikealeonettiis it a timing issue?

23:26.50tessier_I am this >< close to pulling all of my stuff off of them.
23:27.07tessier_Not that I have a whole lot of minutes going through them so they probably won't care.

23:30.31madducktrying to replace a leading + with 00, I am running my head against the wall...
23:30.37madduckI have this dialplan:
23:30.38madduck[outgoing]
23:30.38madduckexten => _+.,1,Goto(outgoing,00${EXTEN:1},1)
23:30.48madduckwhy wouldn't that work?
23:31.08madduckit falls through end it appears as if it triggers _X. instead
23:31.48Peaceful[TK]D-Fender: Found it!  By reading chan_sip.c lines ~7170-7200 revealed that you can set SIPADDHEADER=(whatever header you want to set).  And you can do that in the call file.  Yay!
23:32.34madduckand I cannot figure out how to actually debug this...

23:36.59tessier_So far teliax doesn't have a working fax machine and they have dropped my call 4 times during transfer.
23:37.15madduckhm, weird, now it suddenly works...
23:37.47tessier_And when they finally figure out how to transfer me it goes to someones voicemail. Swell.
23:37.57tessier_If this isn't resolved tomorrow I'm moving my stuff elsewhere. Ugh.

23:42.10tessier_So I just emailed Teliax and told them where the nearest Staples is so they can buy a working fax machine.
23:42.22tessier_If the problem is the phone line they have larger troubles than I had feared...
