00:00.00 | joobie | hey guys.. anyone got an idea on how to use the queue system in asterisk, but make the queue member a PSTN telephone number (that's seperate to the asterisk box) |
00:01.27 | [TK]D-Fender | joobie: Add a member that would dial that outside number |
00:02.13 | leifmadsen | joobie: member => DAHDI/g0/14165551212 |
00:02.30 | leifmadsen | yes, asterisk makes it trivial to do that :) |
00:02.52 | leifmadsen | or 'core show application AddQueueMember" |
00:03.03 | leifmadsen | and now I'm off to watch big brother with my future wife |
00:03.16 | ManxPower | every major asterisk release is rather buggy. |

00:03.50 | bougyman | can you recall a major release of anything larger than hello world that's bug-free? |
00:04.15 | ManxPower | bougyman, I did not intend to imply that this is unusual |
00:04.16 | mmlj4 | perfect example: KDE 4 |

00:05.06 | mmlj4 | heh |
00:07.58 | bougyman | ManxPower: the only question is how a project or applicaton's developers prioritize bugs. |
00:08.16 | bougyman | do they drop everything, stop-the-line to fix critical bugs or security holes? |

00:08.26 | my007ms | hi |
00:08.50 | ManxPower | No. The only question is how long will I wait before upgrading to 1.8 |
00:09.10 | joobie | [TK]D-Fender, how would it work if it dials the member and the member is busy (say the PSTN is engaged because the user is making a call out) |
00:09.14 | my007ms | can i use 24 PRI line in the same time use this card http://www.sangoma.com/products/hardware_products/digital_voice_and_data_networking/a500/overview.html ? |
00:09.25 | bougyman | ManxPower: anything without a full test suite or test-first development method/continuous integration process I wait for quite a long time. |
00:09.32 | ManxPower | There's this little thing called SCREAMING CUSTOMERS that make me hesitant to do ANYTHING that could affect the stability of the system |
00:09.46 | bougyman | ManxPower: ^^ same |
00:09.49 | joobie | .. also does it only hand the call over as the PSTN end answers the call or will the caller hear the ringing tone / busy tone as it tries to dial the PSTN member? |
00:10.17 | ManxPower | joobie, usually EXACTLY the same way with a SIP agent. |
00:10.29 | bougyman | unless, of course, it's software I write or I know the author(s), then i'll go bleeding edge because that's where the bugfixes, most stable version will be. |
00:10.42 | coppice | bougyman: * uses the "huge untestable blob" methodology :-) |
00:11.36 | bougyman | coppice: well most voip projects i've seen use the seat-of-their-pants methodology. |
00:11.37 | ManxPower | joobie, assuming you are not using analog, of course. |
00:11.47 | bougyman | i think only yate had a unit test methodology. |
00:11.59 | ManxPower | Asterisk has a test framework in 1.8 |
00:12.07 | ManxPower | Heck, I think it is even in 1.6 |
00:12.08 | bougyman | people think testing takes time. |
00:12.10 | bougyman | it _saves_ time. |
00:12.17 | ManxPower | bougyman, writing tests takes time. |
00:12.27 | bougyman | ManxPower: no, it saves time. |
00:12.32 | bougyman | i vehemently disagree. |
00:12.53 | ManxPower | bougyman, I didn't say it was a bad idea. |
00:13.00 | coppice | bougyman: well, * takes it to an extreme. if they pick up a library that comes with a test suite their first step is to throw away the test suite. their second is to merge the guts of the library in a borg like manner. thus you see well tested modules bit rot over time |
00:13.24 | bougyman | coppice: fun. |

00:31.22 | Micc_ | If you mean T3 cards, I think theres one. I forget what its called. |
00:31.36 | ManxPower | There isn't |
00:31.55 | Micc_ | ManxPower, I believe your mistaken. |
00:32.04 | Micc_ | Theres even a dahdi driver for it. |
00:32.05 | coppice | the only E3 and T3 PCI cards seem to be ones that only do data |
00:32.12 | ManxPower | Micc_, cite your source. |
00:32.29 | ManxPower | Digium ANNOUNCED a T-3 card years ago, but the product never happened. |
00:32.36 | coppice | digium used to advertise a T3 card, but never released it |
00:32.39 | Micc_ | I wish I remembered, but I did a ton of research on this a few weeks ago. |
00:32.49 | coppice | sangoma has one, but its data only |
00:32.52 | Micc_ | Its a sangoma card |
00:33.18 | Micc_ | I don't remember it being data only. |
00:33.23 | Micc_ | but I suppose that could be the catch. |
00:33.34 | my007ms | coppice so what the card i can use to get max number of call over 8 span E1 card |
00:33.40 | Micc_ | I'm pretty sure it was channelized as I found a dahdi driver for it too. |
00:34.28 | ManxPower | my007ms, none. If you have an 8 span e-1 card and E-1 PRIs than you can handle a max of 30 * 8 calls. Nothing in the world will change that. |

00:35.14 | Micc_ | http://www.sangoma.com/products/hardware_products/data_networking/a301.html |
00:35.27 | jamko | is there a cli command to show the t.38 codec when it is in use?.. ie sip show channels (which does not show t.38) |
00:35.55 | my007ms | ManxPower and how many call in A500 BRI 30 * 24 ? |
00:35.55 | coppice | Micc: and that is the only one they do |
00:36.04 | Micc_ | it says it supports HDLC, which is the echo canceling codec, right? why would it support that if it was data only? |
00:36.12 | ManxPower | no. |
00:36.23 | ManxPower | HDLC is Cisco's "PPP" |
00:36.26 | coppice | Micc: HDLC is packet framing |
00:36.51 | ManxPower | my007ms, none. You cannot connect an E-1 to that card. |
00:37.05 | Micc_ | ah, ok. |
00:37.11 | Micc_ | well thats a bummer then. |

00:42.42 | coppice | E1 == 30 calls per port |
00:42.48 | ManxPower | my007ms, A BRI supports 2 calls and is usually a residential and small business service. An E-1 is a generic term. It can handle 31 calls. If you use PRI over E-1 (which is usually the only way you can order a "voice E-1") then you can do 30 calls per E-1/PRI |
00:43.17 | my007ms | yes exactly this my case |
00:43.24 | my007ms | we have 30 call per port |
00:43.47 | my007ms | and i need to get card support over 8 port |
00:43.58 | ManxPower | my007ms, why not buy a second 4-port card? |
00:44.18 | ManxPower | my007ms, there are no cards that support more than 8 T-1/E-1 ports. |
00:44.18 | my007ms | in fact i need to use 64 port |
00:44.40 | ManxPower | my007ms, then you will have to design and build it yourself. There is no such product. |
00:44.42 | my007ms | so 64/8 = 8 card |
00:46.00 | my007ms | is there something like linksys ata but for E-1 |

01:14.31 | WIMPy | Didn't I read 24 above? |
01:15.19 | my007ms | <my007ms> so 64/8 = 8 card |
01:15.31 | WIMPy | Well, I'd suggest skippting the transcoding and just use multiplexers. The bandwidth might not be as expensive as the cost for transcoding. |
01:16.07 | my007ms | it is :( i will use transcoding card no problem |
01:16.51 | WIMPy | May I ask where on earth you need 1920 channels point to point? |

02:01.49 | a1fa | so, does TIMEOUT(absolute) change when you change context? |
02:02.09 | a1fa | or do you need to reset it for every context |

02:10.20 | Slugs_ | lol |
02:10.31 | ManxPower | a1fa, don't guess. Find out. |
02:10.46 | ManxPower | Slugs_, I was not offering free consulting. |
02:10.56 | Slugs_ | ok |
02:10.58 | Slugs_ | np |
02:11.08 | ManxPower | I was (apparently too subtly) suggesting you look it up for yourself. |
02:11.36 | Slugs_ | ill keep at it |
02:11.37 | Slugs_ | thanks |
02:11.42 | ManxPower | Slugs_, Are you running FreePBX? |
02:11.47 | Slugs_ | no |
02:11.56 | Slugs_ | all cli |
02:12.11 | ManxPower | Slugs_, the answer to your question is dirt simple. Look up the queue app and FIND OUT what the default for when the queue is full is. |
02:12.32 | ManxPower | I believe it is also set in queues.conf |
02:12.45 | Slugs_ | hmmm i must be missing something |
02:12.52 | Slugs_ | ill keep looking |
02:13.34 | ManxPower | Slugs_, I assume queue exits and the call continues in the dialplan, but it would be pretty stupid for me to tell you that when you can look yourself. |
02:15.22 | Slugs_ | exten => s,n,Voicemail(5924@stations,u) |
02:15.47 | ManxPower | Slugs_, what that have to do with queues? |
02:15.59 | Slugs_ | if users are 'busy' in queue, is there a diff flag to go to vm in dialplan |
02:16.11 | Slugs_ | oh i thought it was in the dialplan |
02:17.14 | ManxPower | your question was about queues. What does it do when when the queue is full. It doesn't run the voicemail application, that is for sure. |
02:17.18 | ChannelZ | there's a different argument you can pass to VoiceMail if that's what you mean |
02:17.42 | Slugs_ | http://pastebin.com/B6KPU3FU |
02:18.00 | Slugs_ | ChannelZ: like if busy goto vm |
02:18.14 | ManxPower | Look at the "n", option. |
02:18.25 | Slugs_ | perfect ty |
02:19.34 | ManxPower | ChannelZ, it sounds like he's asking how to play the busy message when sending a call to voicemail. |
02:19.52 | Slugs_ | ManxPower: sorry no |
02:20.11 | ManxPower | Also, define "busy" as it relates to queues. |
02:20.28 | ManxPower | busy = queue full? busy = all agents are on the phone? |
02:20.33 | Slugs_ | when the queue is full, and nobody picks up the phone after 20 sec it goes to voicemail box |
02:20.41 | Slugs_ | busy = all agents on phone |
02:20.55 | Slugs_ | so when it's 'busy' it does not go to vm box currently |
02:21.00 | ManxPower | how do you define "full"? Do you specify the maximum number of callers allowed in the queue? |
02:21.33 | ManxPower | Which is it? Full or busy? |
02:21.48 | Slugs_ | oh wow good question.... |
02:22.27 | ManxPower | To me "full" = cannot accept more callers and "busy" = all agents are on the phone, hang around in the queue until one is available. |
02:23.11 | ManxPower | Of course then you also have to handle what to do when an agent just lets the call ring on their phone and not answer (walked away from desk). |
02:23.47 | Slugs_ | it appears that if both people are on the phone, and a 3rd calls in and after 20 sec the caller get's a message saying "your call cannot be connected at this time". |
02:24.16 | Slugs_ | yeah in that case it goes to vm fine after 20 sec's |
02:25.13 | ManxPower | Slugs_, you mean, exits and the dialplan sends the call to voicemail, right? |
02:25.23 | Slugs_ | correct |
02:26.02 | ManxPower | You must be using some form of "it" with which I am unfamiliar |
02:26.17 | ManxPower | in that sentence "it" parses to "queue" |
02:26.37 | Slugs_ | ;) it = the call |
02:26.49 | ManxPower | no "it" is "dialplan" |

02:40.24 | Micc_ | sorry I was thinking about fax for asterisk commands like fax set t38cap |
02:40.41 | Micc_ | I didn't realize it was specific to fax for asterisk till now. |
02:41.28 | Micc_ | you would think sip show channels would show t38 channels too. |
02:41.48 | jamko | you would think.. but it keeps it as ulaw |
02:41.50 | Micc_ | what about core show channels? |
02:42.03 | Micc_ | thats weird. |
02:42.22 | jamko | unless of course I am not reading the sip trace correcty, but it seems clear that all parties accept the reinvite. |
02:43.01 | jamko | and faxes are completing 99.99% of the time, from across the wan, through asterisk, and out to the provider, with NAT involved at some points. |

02:46.11 | jamko | Are using it for terminating and originating the fax, or just passing it through? |
02:46.16 | Micc_ | I'm starting to believe its some of the worst commercial software available. If they made it open source maybe it wouldn't have so many incompatabilities. |
02:46.25 | Micc_ | it seems like it has problems with some fax ma chines. |

02:46.58 | Micc_ | we call it a hybrid fax. |
02:47.02 | Micc_ | Its great in theory. |
02:47.25 | Micc_ | We gave up on using a PRI for sending a receiving faxes. |
02:47.39 | jamko | Yea, I am just passing through the T.38... The one extra step doesn't do much for me, unless you are offering an efax solution as a service to people. |
02:47.43 | Micc_ | We could not get fax for asterisk to be reliable enough even with a brand new PRI card. |
02:47.55 | hariom | I am trying out 1.8 beta 3 and installing it from SVN. When 1.8 final will be released how can I update my installation without downloading the entire thing from scratch? |
02:48.22 | Micc_ | hariom, if there is a patch you can just apply the patch. |
02:48.37 | Micc_ | hariom, oh svn. nevermind, you should be able to svn update then |
02:49.12 | coppice | jamko: if you get such high success rates, I assume you are sending between specific points in your tests. quirky FAX machines and quirky T.38 implementations mean 99% of all call is never achievable in a mixed environment |
02:49.20 | Micc_ | jamko, I think we'll have to put our efax service on hold for a while. |
02:49.45 | hariom | Micc_: Once I do SVN Update or make update as suggested, will it be necessary to to make install etc once again? |
02:49.54 | Micc_ | coppice, thats part of the problem we are seeing with faxing. |
02:50.30 | Micc_ | hariom, I haven't done it myself, but I would assume you will need to run make install again. |
02:51.00 | Micc_ | I have a spa2102 down stairs I need to go set it up and test it. |
02:51.12 | hariom | Micc_, in that case I will need to save my config files? |
02:51.14 | coppice | FAX for asterisk is based on one of the most mature T.38 + audio platforms around, but I have weird logs from people that seem to indicate it has some funky bugs |
02:51.21 | Micc_ | I'm going to try just t.38 pass through, but last time I tried it at a customer location, it failed. |
02:51.34 | Micc_ | But I didn't spend a whole lot of time playing with it, maybe just 30 minutes. |
02:51.44 | jamko | coppice, if you lock in a working configuration with a specific t.38 provider, and you have commerical grade T.38 atas hooked to your analog fax machines, you will get a very high success rate. |
02:51.55 | Micc_ | hariom, no, make install shouldn't overwrite your config files. |
02:52.07 | Micc_ | hariom, make samples I think will install sample config files. |
02:52.30 | hariom | ok |
02:52.37 | coppice | jamko: what does commercial grade mean? for example a cisco more than 2 years old will give poor results |
02:52.59 | jamko | Cisco also makes linksys... Try mediatrix. |
02:53.04 | Micc_ | jamko, I have found some fax machines won't even talk to some atas |
02:53.15 | Micc_ | like grandstream has issues with some fax machines. |
02:53.16 | coppice | mediatrix has a very buggy T.38 |
02:53.27 | Micc_ | and even audiocodes I've noticed has some issues with some too. |
02:54.16 | coppice | I can list some interesting issues with the audiocodes T.38 implementation |
02:54.24 | jamko | well right now I am getting good results. I have spent a lot of hours pursuing it though. |
02:54.27 | Micc_ | I've tried 4 or 5 different ATA manufacturers. linksys seems to be the best so far. |
02:54.47 | Micc_ | I had great results with an spa8000, so thats why I'm going to try the cheaper spa2102 now. |
02:55.15 | JerJer | i finally just got T.38 working myself |
02:55.27 | JerJer | malcolmd kicked me in the right direction |
02:55.28 | jamko | Not to say there are not bugs, like this one I reported yesterday when asterisk gets the T.38 from a sip cluster: https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=17842 |
02:55.29 | coppice | the linksys ATAs have serious issues with T.38. use a cable more than 5m or so between the FAX machine and the ATA. a 1m cable can give wacky results. it must be hyper-sensitive to be that quirky |
02:55.40 | Micc_ | JerJer, what provider you using? |
02:55.45 | titter | Micc_: What were your problems with the faxes? I am running two fax servers off two PRI's and my receieve rate is around 98-99% |
02:56.08 | JerJer | heh my own |
02:56.17 | jamko | T.38 rocks.. |
02:56.26 | jamko | : ) |
02:56.40 | jamko | But then again I am a real sicko.. soo |
02:56.45 | JerJer | titter: having a PRI makes it very nice |
02:57.04 | JerJer | a pure SIP play is a bit more unfriendly |
02:57.07 | titter | JerJer: I still have some problems with certain people saying the faxes do not go through |
02:57.15 | titter | JerJer: The rate is very acceptable however |
02:57.25 | coppice | titter: with a closed user group you should get about 99.5% success rate with a decent FAX system |
02:57.42 | Micc_ | titter, fax for asterisk? I had consistent failures from certain machines. |
02:57.48 | jamko | mediatrix has a very good echo cancellation. Fax over analog is even buggy, so I would not blame T.38 entirely. |
02:58.13 | jamko | I am pure sip, and have great success. |
02:58.15 | hariom | What is the SVN for * trunk 1.8 version. I should install trunk or branch? |
02:58.47 | titter | coppice: It really depends, we are hammering the thing. We accept insurance applications in the 70-80 page range ... it works well. I am using the last branch of SpanDSP I could find, and 1.6 ... do you know if 1.8 has any improvments? |
02:59.48 | Micc_ | titter, so your using the free app_fax that comes with asaterisk? |
03:00.07 | coppice | I think the main improvements in * are with T.38 negotiation, which is a minefield. The very latest spandsp has some updates to deal with some "unusual" conditions, but most people won't notice the difference |
03:00.11 | titter | Micc_: Yes, app_fax and spandsp with digium cards |
03:00.25 | Micc_ | I started using fax for asterisk early on, so I didn't give app_fax a good try because it didn't support T.38 when I was playing with it. |
03:00.30 | jamko | SpanDSP is the goods. app_fax rocks... free t.38 negotiation for all. |
03:00.38 | Micc_ | titter, yeah I think that could be better than fax for asterisk. |
03:01.34 | Micc_ | do I need spandsp if I'm just going to use t.38? |
03:01.39 | jamko | So does anyone know a CLI command that will actually show T.38 in use? similar to sip show channels? |
03:01.41 | coppice | I was surprised to be contacted recently by 2 people moving from fax for asterisk to spandsp to improve their results. the commetrex engine in fax for asterisk should be a really good one |
03:01.42 | titter | Micc_: It works well, most errors are "Unexpected DCN while waiting for image data." or "Disconnected after permitted retries." |
03:02.32 | titter | I just setup a third server with a new provider that I hope helps resolve some issues. I believe it was my PRI carrier doing something funky on their side causing some issues every so often. |
03:02.37 | jamko | micc - yes spandsp is what pulls it all together. |
03:02.50 | Micc_ | I was hoping by paying for a couple licenses they would give me the support I needed to make it work perfectly. |
03:03.04 | Micc_ | They gave me great support, but never could solve the problems. |
03:03.10 | jamko | lol |
03:03.22 | coppice | people complain a lot to me about the support for fax for asterisk. |
03:03.23 | hariom | Micc, I am installing branch 1.8 from: http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.8/ ; Is it right? |
03:03.44 | jamko | spandsp, and 1.6, just watch out for reinvites from a sip cluster. Make the ata initate the reinvite. |
03:04.41 | Micc_ | hariom, I don't know, but that sounds like it should be good. |
03:04.47 | jamko | fax for asterisk is like the kiddy slide.. You move, but it's not the real thing. The real deal is tough, kicks your ass, but in the end you get what you wanted. |
03:04.48 | titter | The only problem I have had with it so far is sending more than one page ... but I haven't tried it in awhile. I actuall may mess with that tonight. |
03:05.09 | Micc_ | hariom, did you check on http://www.asterisk.org/ ? it should say the branch URIs. |

03:09.26 | titter | Micc_: core show application ReceiveFAX will give you the status codes |
03:09.53 | titter | Micc_: core show application SendFAX would be the other |
03:10.05 | Micc_ | titter, email scripts that are cli supported? what do you mean? |
03:10.29 | jamko | the voip-info wiki page has a good overall guide on getting spandsp installed etc.. but other than that, just turn on your tcpdump, and have at it. |
03:11.29 | titter | Micc_: Currently I am using a perl script to send the fax via e-mail based on the incoming DID ... however it is not redundant, meaning if it fails that is the end of it. This isn't an issue for most of my faxes as I have the Oracle DB scrape the faxes into its system for other data entry reasons ... but some faxes get e-mailed and I wuold like to make it a bit more safe |

03:20.21 | Micc_ | I use dyndns mailhop relay |
03:20.27 | Micc_ | or mailhop outbound I think. |
03:20.54 | Micc_ | But still if it fails then don't you have the fax on disk still? |
03:21.29 | titter | I tried sendmail but adding it to the dialplan was ok at best, didn't allow me to set certain items |
03:21.34 | titter | If it fails it is on the disk |

03:25.00 | titter | Yes, but some users want it e-mailed |
03:25.15 | Micc_ | titter, I would just use a relay, let it handle the queing of the message. |
03:25.27 | Micc_ | which they should get 99% of the time. |
03:25.37 | titter | The problem with System() is it returns Success even though sendemail fails |
03:26.07 | Micc_ | I'm not sure why your even failing sometimes. I haven't had a failure sending an email message ever, but I had a couple times it get stuck in spam before I started relaying through dyndns. |
03:26.07 | WIMPy | Why would sendmail fail? |
03:26.48 | Micc_ | right, if your just queing the message, sendmail or whatever your using shouldn't fail. |
03:27.10 | titter | Micc_: Haha it was a quirky issue ... once upon a time the public routing tables between our exchange server and the fax server refused to talk to each other it went down for two days until I had the ISP change the routiing tables |
03:27.13 | Micc_ | Do you have intermittent internet connection? |
03:27.28 | Micc_ | oh |
03:27.32 | Micc_ | well that explains it. |
03:28.00 | Micc_ | Then in that case you would write a quick script to query the database and resend all those emails between the times you know it was down. |
03:28.12 | titter | Micc_: Trust me, it was crazy ... all other alias IP's from both locations would work with each other, but just the mail server IP was failing. I assumed somewhere along the route it was blocked. The other time I had a hard drive fail and the server went down for a short period |
03:28.20 | Micc_ | with a little overlap. some people might get an extra copy, but at least they'll get all of them. |
03:29.02 | titter | Micc_: Ya I am just trying to think of the best way to do it. There was a reason I didn't use sendmail, and I can't remember |
03:29.36 | Micc_ | titter, I don't use sendmail because it was difficult to dynamically create the messages with the headers and attachments that I wanted on the fly. |

03:30.10 | titter | Micc_: That was basically the issue, and trying to use it with System() was just a pita ... so I found that perl script that works very nice, but isn't fauly tolerant |
03:31.23 | Micc_ | titter, I use func_odbc to put the information into the DB then I call a shell script with TrySystem, one for failed, one for sent, one for received and one for failedin |
03:31.49 | Micc_ | they create the email and lookup the accountcode to find the email address to use. |
03:32.41 | Micc_ | then I have a php script that runs in a cron job every minute to look at the faxes in the db and see what work needs to be done. |
03:32.54 | titter | Micc_: Intersting. I was thinking of writing a small shell script that can read the output of sendemail and force it to retry until success. I didn't want to make the script very complex,but I guess once it is setup that is the end of it |
03:33.23 | Micc_ | titter, that wouldn't have helped with the situation you explained though. |
03:33.30 | Micc_ | You would have retried for 2 days. |
03:33.43 | Micc_ | you won't want to keep asterisk waiting for a shell script for 2 days. |
03:34.00 | Micc_ | Its best to handle the failure out of band. |
03:34.28 | titter | Micc_: True. Well System() should just execute the script ... and once it executes it should move on I was assuming |
03:34.48 | Micc_ | just take note of the failure and try agian with a cron job or manually run a script to resend all the failures when you know there was a problem. |
03:35.17 | WIMPy | It moves on when the script exits. But I still don't see the original issue. |
03:35.22 | Micc_ | titter, your right, maybe it does. But still, you wouldn't want a bunch of shell scripts running for 2 days. |
03:36.19 | WIMPy | If the mail can't be delivered, sendmail still wouldn't fail, but retry for some days. (I think two by default). |
03:36.21 | Micc_ | WIMPy, the original issue was a misconfigured mail system somewhere outside of his control. |
03:36.23 | titter | WIMPy: I was not using sendmail rather a perl script due to exactly what Micc_ said, creating the messages with the headers and attachments that I needed on the fly was messy at best |
03:36.52 | titter | WIMPy: So I had an issue where I lost connection to the mail server for two days, and the e-mails were never retried |
03:37.27 | WIMPy | Ok, so use a local sendmail (or whatever) and let it cope with such situations. That's what tey are designed for. |
03:37.58 | Micc_ | titter, I would just log the failure and flag it in the DB with the fax data, then you can always run a script later to resend failed emails. |
03:38.15 | Micc_ | I suspect it will be a rare occurrance though. |
03:38.30 | titter | WIMPy: Generating the e-mail to sendmail from a System() command didn't work well |
03:39.03 | WIMPy | You can still use whatever script you like, just let it connect to a local sendmail. |
03:39.04 | titter | Micc_: I am going to mess with it now ... see what I can come up with |
03:39.23 | titter | WIMPy: Not a bad idea |
03:39.54 | titter | WIMPy: so send the e-mail through localhost via sendmail and have sendmail retry the queue I presume? |
03:40.03 | Micc_ | yeah, thats a good idea, and if you really don't want to setup sendmail and manage it, at least use a relay. |
03:40.07 | WIMPy | Exactely. |
03:40.43 | *** join/#asterisk chilicuil (~chilicuil@unaffiliated/chilicuil) |
03:40.51 | titter | I use Messagelabs as a relay for my Exchange setup ... but I think the local sendmail idea is much easier |
03:40.58 | WIMPy | Well, there isn't much to set up to just relay some mails. Maybe a relay host. |
03:41.02 | Micc_ | titter, yeah you can still use your perl script, just point it to your localhost mail server or a relay. |
03:41.38 | Micc_ | yeah, it should be too difficult to setup a simple relay sendmail server. |
03:41.40 | titter | Ya sendmail is pretty much setup out of box in centos |
03:41.53 | Micc_ | I have nightmares of sendmail.cf files. |
03:42.01 | titter | Haha |
03:42.02 | Micc_ | shivers. |
03:42.10 | titter | well any local mta would work |
03:42.16 | Micc_ | right. |
03:42.31 | titter | So lets see sendmail is kind of flakey ... never used qmail ... what else |
03:42.54 | carrar | sendmail is only as flackey as the person configuring it |
03:42.55 | titter | postfix and exim |
03:43.00 | carrar | flakey |
03:43.11 | WIMPy | I prefer others for real mail, but just as a outbound mail queue I find sendmail the easiest. |
03:43.12 | Micc_ | true. |
03:43.17 | carrar | You don't edit sendmail.cf btw |
03:43.26 | carrar | you use just a few lines of m4 |
03:43.34 | carrar | and it creates the cf for you |
03:43.34 | WIMPy | carrar: YOU don't :-) |
03:43.41 | carrar | read the instructions |
03:44.03 | carrar | been using sendmail since the mid 90's |
03:44.12 | carrar | it's been solid |
03:44.28 | Micc_ | carrar, me too, 1994, but I never learned the m4 configuratoin. |
03:44.34 | WIMPy | Same for me, but I found the m4 stuff much more confusing than the .cf. |
03:44.52 | carrar | just take time to learn it |
03:45.13 | Micc_ | me too, plus the sendmail book was all about the cf syntax. |
03:45.30 | WIMPy | And in the next step replace your extensions.conf by extensions.ael :-) |
03:45.36 | titter | Hmm in 1994 I was 8 years old... so sendmail is new to me :p |

03:47.34 | titter | I think I was trying to overcomplicate things lol ... so I am going to use sendmail to relay the e-mail to my real mail server, so if the relay fails it will retry |

04:06.07 | xheliox | At least in other countries they have the mobile prefixes so that you can safely implement a caller pays system. |

04:06.33 | WIMPy | That's an important one, yes. |
04:06.53 | kfife | xheliox: we have that too: It's called 900 numbers. |
04:07.02 | xheliox | rolls his eyes |
04:07.19 | xheliox | The comparison is absurd. |
04:07.30 | kfife | xheliox: go on... |
04:08.01 | WIMPy | You can't sensibly discuss telephony issues with americans. |
04:08.42 | xheliox | 900 #'s are commercial entities, caller pays in terms of mobile calling is nothing of the sort. Why should I be obligated to pay for an unwanted phone call that comes to my mobile? |
04:08.56 | xheliox | And even if I don't answer, I'll have to pay to check VM. |

04:09.24 | xheliox | WIMPy: I'm an American. :P |
04:09.59 | xheliox | So it's more expensive, that's your argument? |
04:10.01 | WIMPy | xheliox: Exceptions ... :-) |
04:10.16 | kfife | xheliox: You're right about the 900 system. The comparison is not apt. |
04:10.18 | xheliox | And you're paying too much for mobile calls to the UK. |
04:11.06 | xheliox | You think the mobile spectrum is limitless? |
04:11.13 | kfife | xheliox: Yes. The point is that when you do not charge fees to OTHER THAN the party to which you have relationship, opportunism ensues. Ever hear of freeconferencecall.com?? |
04:12.27 | kfife | xheliox: Dave Ericsson's entire business model is predicated on a third party getting ass-raped by rural telcos |
04:12.28 | xheliox | I haven't, but if the implication is that you're going to establish a conference call every time you want to make an off the cuff call to a UK mobile (or wherever), that's highly impractical. |
04:13.41 | kfife | xheliox: That's not it at all. FreeConf... is a conference call company that carries 10% of ALL us conferencing. Free to end users! What could be better? |
04:14.36 | ChannelZ | free porn |

04:26.49 | kfife | It's just opportunistic stuff. You can't blame the companies for being opportunistic--it's like blaming a dog for barking. BUT I DO think there are revenue models that tend to foster more efficiency. I don't think caller-pays mobile is better for end users. The wireless subscriber is in the best position to negotiate a competitive rate. International wireless terminations happen at 10x the terrestrial rate. Sure it's great |
04:26.49 | kfife | for the guy with free inbound minutes, but net net everyone pays more for their communicaiton. |
04:27.15 | kfife | ...under caller-pays that is. |
04:28.30 | WIMPy | The subscriber can only chose one rate per subscription, while each caller can chose the carrier and thus the rate for each single call. So that's bullshit. |
04:28.50 | kfife | and to guys like me in the US? My minutes are so cheap I don't give a shit if I burn 10 or minutes a month on wrong nubmers |

06:22.08 | Alton35 | guys, a question, |
06:22.14 | Alton35 | sheesh, this is driving me nuts, |
06:22.36 | Alton35 | I want to call out from within an AGI, which I know very well how to do during an existing call, |
06:23.17 | Alton35 | but to create a new outbound call from Asterisk, I don't know how to do it without Asterisk doing the dialing and then connecting me with a given place in extension.conf |
06:23.22 | ChannelZ | well an AGI is only run during a call so... you want to use AMI |
06:23.29 | ChannelZ | or use a call file |
06:23.55 | Alton35 | but the call file seems to be the thing that makes the connection first, then connects me to a given place in extensions.conf or an agi |
06:24.04 | Alton35 | whereas I want the agi to run the dial statement of course. |
06:24.07 | Alton35 | so I can see the results. |
06:24.56 | Alton35 | I keep wondering if the originate command will get me around this problem. |
06:27.21 | Alton35 | <PROTECTED> |
06:28.15 | ChannelZ | So you want to pick up the phone, dial an extension, and then have an AGI call something different. |
06:28.47 | Alton35 | yes, actually it's all launched in the background |
06:28.56 | Alton35 | databases, that sort of thing |
06:29.11 | ChannelZ | ok but RE: an AGI can't run on its own |
06:29.21 | Alton35 | so if I have to detect everything in the dialplan it's not elegant |
06:29.23 | Alton35 | ok |
06:29.24 | Alton35 | hmm |
06:29.28 | ChannelZ | So you must use the Manager interface |
06:29.40 | Alton35 | looking at that, it seems to do the same thing as a call file really |
06:29.42 | titter | Is moh still only supported at 8kHz in 1.6? |
06:31.07 | ChannelZ | Well I don't know what is you want to do then that can't already be done. |
06:31.49 | ChannelZ | MOH should be supported at whatever rate is appropriate for the codec it's encoded in |
06:32.00 | Alton35 | basically dial out from within my agi, written PHP, which gives me all sorts of consistency and programmatic control. |
06:32.18 | shamelessn00b | hey can I get a good example on the externalIVR app? |
06:35.47 | titter | ChannelZ: Thanks. I am guess same goes for all audio? So I were to have IVR's recorded I need to sample them at whatever rate the codec supports? |
06:37.49 | ChannelZ | yes. 8khz/16-bit is a common denominator for converting to ulaw/alaw/gsm/etc. Digital telephony has been 8khz 8-bit forever. |
06:38.25 | ChannelZ | The 'high bandwidth' codecs are rare but if you were using them you'd record at whatever rate and then encode them into that format |
06:40.32 | titter | Alright, will need to normalize and fix up these moh files then ... sound like poo if I use mpg123 and sox to convert |
06:40.34 | ChannelZ | You could certainly record at a higher samplerate for 'future-proofing' and just downsample to 8khz |
06:41.05 | titter | Ya I am going to record these at a high quality, and work on down sampling at the best quality I can achieve |

07:05.19 | henk | i am trying to route calls coming from our cisco call manager to the context 'callman', but it's always routed to 'default'. my config and some cli output is on http://pastie.org/private/ficlajep1faf7wmrc0kka. can anyone tell me what's wrong or why it happens like that? |

07:14.50 | henk | ChannelZ: well, it's not my complete sip.conf, only the relevant part. i did reload it for sure, i just restarted asterisk even though i didn't even change anything in the last 14 hours... so i guess it should be loaded. |

07:17.32 | henk | hm, but why? isn't the ip from the block in sip.conf supposed to match the ip? |
07:18.19 | ChannelZ | not for a 'friend' |

07:20.39 | henk | uhm... man, this is confusing. i read this: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+sip+type and it sounded a lot like that's what type=friend does: behave as if there were two identical blocks, one for each user and peer, and route incoming AND outgoing calls to the named context... |

07:22.59 | ChannelZ | the information for 'type' is varied and confusing, it's very poorly documented IMHO. It's not "can this device make or receive calls or both", it does affect how Asterisk matches calls to peers |

07:34.18 | shamelessn00b | IIRC |
07:34.25 | henk | The type=friend is a device type that accepts both incoming and outbound calls, |
07:34.30 | henk | The type=peer also handles both incoming and outbound calls. |
07:34.43 | henk | fundamental change compared to 1.4, right? |
07:34.47 | ChannelZ | encryption is always going to take extra CPU and there is overhead so yes more bandwith too |
07:34.47 | shamelessn00b | friend is generally used for softphones |
07:34.51 | shamelessn00b | and peer for trunks |

07:38.32 | ChannelZ | the user/peer/friend really controls how Asterisk matches a call with a peer in the config. The whole 'incoming' and 'outbound' calls is a bad (IMHO) way to try to explain that "a call from the outside world" might appear to come from different people, but from the same IP (your ITSP for instance) but that a local extension phone will (generally) always appear the same |
07:40.04 | yidiyuehan | Hi, is that a way to announce the participants name in the conference instead of just counting the total number? |
07:40.30 | shamelessn00b | OlafsenM: no gimme any |
07:40.42 | ChannelZ | So in your case, you have a an incoming call "From: "Hendrik Jaeger" <sip:42@213.144.129.33> -- as type=friend, it's trying to find a peer named [42]. As type=peer, it's trying to find a peer with the host=213.144.129.33 |
07:40.44 | shamelessn00b | any one of them |
07:40.56 | WIMPy | yidiyuehan: Take a look at the options. |
07:42.32 | yidiyuehan | WIMPy, what I mean is: I want to know who are in the conference right now, maybe I call a number, it will announce all the parties name to me. |
07:42.57 | yidiyuehan | It's available for CLI meetme list, but I am wondering whether I could convert it to voice. |
07:43.15 | WIMPy | yidiyuehan: So you want the names of all current partivipants for a new caller? |
07:43.23 | yidiyuehan | yes |
07:43.43 | yidiyuehan | and I might even not joining the conference. |
07:44.01 | WIMPy | Must be possible somehow. |
07:44.12 | WIMPy | But that's a self build. |
07:44.17 | henk | ChannelZ: http://pastie.org/1089971 does the conf look better now? it's still not routed correctly :( |
07:44.20 | OlafsenM | shamelessn00b: http://pastebin.com/a5rvpDNp chan_dahdi.conf |

07:45.21 | yidiyuehan | WIMPy, if not I need to use some text to speech to do that I guess. |
07:45.24 | shamelessn00b | hmm |
07:45.24 | WIMPy | yidiyuehan: Not as a finished solution, I know of. |

07:45.43 | shamelessn00b | OlafsenM: what does the output of wanrouter status show you |
07:46.01 | WIMPy | yidiyuehan: If you enable name recording and announcement, those sample must be available somewhere. |
07:46.13 | ChannelZ | henk, does "sip show peer callman" give you a list of crap? |
07:47.04 | henk | ChannelZ: yes: http://pastie.org/1089974 i notice subsc.cont. is not set. is that normal? |
07:47.17 | WIMPy | OlafsenM: Didn't you say it was a span not even connected? In that case just don't configure it, either. |
07:47.44 | yidiyuehan | WIMPy, yes, that's true, what I want is to play the extension user name. For example, I call in as extension 601 and don't record any name for the conference. Upon monitoring 601 will be played. |

10:50.26 | m0t3jl | SiNGLer, so you just connect BRI lines to your Asterisk and everything in offices are VoIP phones, correct? |
10:52.59 | SiNGLer | not everywhere. Usually analog phones are connected via Audiocodes analog-SIP gw, because it is cheaper. |
10:55.01 | hrhrhr | m0t3jl: digium used to recommend only one interface card per computer |
10:55.05 | hrhrhr | not entirely sure why |
10:55.48 | hrhrhr | there may be a valid reason or it might be the old 'omgz irq conflicts' argument |
10:56.05 | hrhrhr | however, i used a b410p and it was an excellent card |
10:56.31 | hrhrhr | every analogue card i tried was crap in comparison |
10:56.55 | hrhrhr | from x100p to whatever the top of the range echo cancellation fxo card from digium was at the time |

11:01.06 | m0t3jl | hrhrhr, I'm going to use ISDN lines, not PSTN ;) |
11:01.40 | m0t3jl | SiNGLer, which gateway exactly is that? |
11:02.11 | SiNGLer | MP-1xx |
11:02.40 | SiNGLer | http://www.audiocodes.com/products/mediapack-1xx |
11:05.36 | hrhrhr | m0t3jl: i can recommend the b410p then :D but no doubt there are cheaper cards/equally good performing cards out there |
11:06.56 | m0t3jl | hrhrhr, I don't think I need EC, though ;) |
11:07.48 | m0t3jl | SiNGLer, remember how you told me about that Y bracket I can buy for the A500? |
11:08.20 | SiNGLer | Y cable is included with card |
11:08.31 | m0t3jl | SiNGLer, automatically? |
11:08.53 | SiNGLer | dunno, maybe manually :P |
11:09.16 | m0t3jl | 2 m 8-pin RJ45 port splitter cables included. |
11:09.30 | m0t3jl | SiNGLer, that's it, isn't it? |
11:09.37 | SiNGLer | yes, it is it |
11:10.00 | m0t3jl | SiNGLer, and that's for all the 6 lines? |
11:11.06 | SiNGLer | one cable is for one socket (2 lines). I don't remember if 3 cables are included, but because we have unused some, I guess 3 cables are inculded |
11:11.44 | m0t3jl | SiNGLer, we'll see ;) I was trying to find them on voipango.de, but I was unlucky... |
11:11.50 | SiNGLer | please note, that in your description plural form of "cable" is used |
11:12.05 | SiNGLer | so probably more than one :) |
11:12.06 | m0t3jl | SiNGLer, I missed that ;) |
11:12.33 | m0t3jl | SiNGLer, do you know whether they ship them with Remoras as well? |
11:13.39 | SiNGLer | remoras should be ordered separatly |
11:15.12 | SiNGLer | and don't forget about backplate (I don't remember if it is included with remora) |
11:16.48 | m0t3jl | SiNGLer, they have it in the picture, so I'd presume the backplate is included... |
11:20.41 | SiNGLer | I'd check if I were you :) but I guess it may be included, because on analog card you can connect only one remora |

12:05.43 | drmessano | EmleyMoor: With SIP in Asterisk you are account for (1) Basic firewall ports, which are solved with opening ports (2) Asterisk invites when the Asterisk box is NAT'ed, which are solved with externhost/externip, canreinvite, and NAT= and (3) Internal clients, which is solved with localnet= that overrides the NAT settings for internal users |

12:07.44 | drmessano | EmleyMoor: Doesn't matter |

16:16.02 | WIMPy | It's some years ago I used that. But I think I got the status directely. |
16:16.32 | a_nonamiss | OK, so I set up a new trunk in FreePBX using only the default parameters. It's much simpler now, but still not working for inbound calls. Works for outbound calls. |
16:16.38 | Alton35 | thanks, let me look into it, I'll be back to report |
16:16.48 | a_nonamiss | Here is the trunk setup and the SIP debug. |
16:16.50 | a_nonamiss | http://pastebin.com/mhhrhV1H |
16:17.33 | a_nonamiss | The call is definitely being passed from my provider to me, but my box seems to be denying it. |
16:19.02 | a_nonamiss | If I register the same trunk using xlite and the same parameters, it works perfectly incoming and outgoing with all the default settings. |
16:20.05 | jamko | oh so this is an orignation issue. |
16:20.15 | a_nonamiss | The SIP provider is definitely geared towards registering softphones and not asterisk servers, but it's working perfectly with a Trixbox on the same internal network (different public IP.) |
16:20.33 | a_nonamiss | Yes, I'm sorry that I didn't make that clear. |
16:20.39 | jamko | if this is an origination issue "inbound to your box" then type=friend is what you want. |
16:21.03 | jamko | and disregard what I just added to your earlier postbin. |
16:21.20 | jamko | And there should be no user name and password to send to you then. |
16:21.22 | JerJer | jamko: more like a type=peer with a context= |
16:21.36 | jamko | jerjer is righ |
16:21.51 | jamko | you need to setup 2 different provider entries |
16:21.52 | a_nonamiss | type=friend in the [citynet] section or the [from-trunk] section? |
16:21.59 | jamko | because you use this provider for in and out. |
16:22.12 | jamko | so when you set it up for origination, you are breaking the termination etc. |
16:22.16 | a_nonamiss | FreePBX sets up 2 provider entries by default. |
16:22.42 | a_nonamiss | So should I consider the [Citynet] entry to be fine because I can make outgoing calls? |
16:22.49 | jamko | right. |
16:22.55 | a_nonamiss | And only mess with the [from-trunk] section? |
16:23.00 | a_nonamiss | That helps a lot. :-) |
16:23.23 | jamko | correct-o |
16:23.50 | a_nonamiss | type=friend had no effect. |
16:24.09 | jamko | you need to add the originating provider's ip address to the peer entry. |
16:24.11 | JerJer | i have always hated type=friend |
16:24.22 | jamko | see you are authenticating them, and you only need type=peer |
16:24.23 | JerJer | it always fucks shit up |
16:24.31 | JerJer | in one direction or the other |
16:24.44 | jamko | type=friend is not needed as jerjer is so elegantly pointing out. |
16:25.15 | a_nonamiss | LOL - Trust me there has already been a lot of cursing because of this trunk. |
16:25.19 | jamko | Unless your provider is really anal and want you registered to even send traffic to your box. |
16:25.28 | jamko | lol |
16:25.40 | a_nonamiss | They're sending the traffic, I'm just denying it, and I don't know why. |
16:25.55 | JerJer | because your config is trying to proxy auth |
16:26.00 | jamko | ok then you need to add their ip address to the peer. |
16:26.08 | a_nonamiss | as host=? |
16:26.19 | JerJer | and maybe something like insecure=invite,port |
16:26.20 | a_nonamiss | or permit= |
16:26.28 | JerJer | host |
16:26.30 | jamko | yes host= |

16:27.23 | JerJer | i would use whatever the provider gives |
16:27.30 | JerJer | if they give you a dns entry, then use it |
16:30.24 | jamko | get a hold of the sip.conf.sample file, and pick through the authentication sections. It will help you to really understand what you are doing. Markster was generally pretty thorough in his explanations, typos and all. : ) |
16:32.49 | jamko | But for the future, I would suggest you use providers that allow for ip authentication across the board. |
16:32.56 | jamko | Then you can just have one entry per provider, with type=peer. |
16:33.10 | jamko | and not worry about which is term and which is orig. |

16:36.50 | a_nonamiss | The most significant difference between the two is the new one is Asterisk 1.6 on Elastix and the old one was Asterisk 1.4 on Trixbox. |

16:37.10 | JerJer | its just matching on the peer |

16:53.11 | JerJer | that sounds like a context that should be in extensions |
16:53.35 | JerJer | that entry in sip.conf surely is not being used |
16:53.52 | a_nonamiss | It's the incoming trunk definition. |
16:53.58 | JerJer | Found peer 'Citynet2' |
16:54.19 | JerJer | you want to use type=peer always in sip |
16:54.42 | JerJer | type=user and friend are left over concepts from IAX |
16:54.52 | a_nonamiss | FreePBX has them as "Incoming settings" and "Outgoing settings" |
16:55.23 | a_nonamiss | "Outgoing" is working fine. "Incoming" is not. |
16:55.49 | Corydon76-dig | JerJer: not completely. type=user/friend does different matching than type=peer |
16:56.16 | jamko | type=friend is used when registering your phones. |

16:56.41 | Corydon76-dig | JerJer: it just applies a different matching algorithm |
16:56.51 | jamko | i believe anyway. |
16:57.33 | a_nonamiss | So then if I were to get rid of the [from-trunk] section, what would be the proper way to make sure the SIP trunk is registered with the provider and accepts incoming connections without trying to authenticate? |
16:57.38 | ChannelZ | it really should be changed to "matchby" or something with sensible option names |
16:57.50 | Corydon76-dig | Without a secret, type=peer will match on the first matching record, instead of matching on the username |
16:58.11 | JerJer | i kind of liked oej"s ideas on it |
16:58.35 | Corydon76-dig | JerJer: Note that I am not making a case for how it should be, just a case for how it is |

17:05.19 | a_nonamiss | I've tried insecure=invite and insecure=very with no luck |
17:05.21 | jamko | you need a separate peer setup for outbound and inbound. |

17:56.42 | bougyman | Naikrovek: I mean exactly what I said. |
17:56.50 | Qwell | Kobaz: well, meetme doesn't use dahdi for timing. |
17:56.52 | bougyman | free can mean monetary or otherwise. |
17:56.59 | bougyman | that its monetarily free does not meant that it's free. |

21:55.22 | NiceUserUser | like can I connect a Dialogic line card to a trunk line, and then have Asterisk on the other end |
21:55.31 | NiceUserUser | and use dialplan to respond to any 10 digit number? |
21:56.15 | drmessano | Analog line? |
21:56.53 | drmessano | Asterisk has no way of knowing what number was dialed if it's an analog line, unless you have distinctive ring or something |
21:56.55 | NiceUserUser | digital |
21:57.20 | drmessano | Yes |
21:57.23 | NiceUserUser | the dialogic line card in one of the sides would be a CG6565 that connects to a T1 trunk |

21:57.44 | drmessano | have a look at the Asterisk book.. Asterisk can do a lot |
21:57.45 | NiceUserUser | yeah I was reading that one in PDF |
21:57.57 | NiceUserUser | its advice is to hook up to SIP |
21:58.17 | NiceUserUser | would SIP only allow me to have one number though? |
21:58.23 | drmessano | No, thousands |
21:58.34 | drmessano | Same with a T1 |
21:58.40 | drmessano | Only analog is limiting |
21:58.49 | NiceUserUser | oh nice. |
21:58.55 | drmessano | Since there's no intelligence on the line with anaLOG |
21:59.40 | WIMPy | anal-og |
21:59.48 | ChannelZ | just dropped an anal-log |
22:00.26 | NiceUserUser | so I would just have to have the SIP provider to assign a bunch of numbers to me? |
22:00.55 | NiceUserUser | that's the part I don't quite get. I get how awesome the dialplan is |
22:00.59 | ChannelZ | yeah. or not |
22:01.11 | ChannelZ | You can have one number but multiple channels |
22:01.34 | NiceUserUser | i want to have like 100 numbers and use dialplan to do different stuff with them |
22:01.40 | ChannelZ | fine |
22:01.44 | ChannelZ | you can do that too |
22:02.37 | NiceUserUser | about configuring for that, should I use SIP? or can i have a 40 channel linecard hooked to a T1. I guess I'm confused about how those T1 channel connections work. Any resources you would recommend to go learn about that? |
22:02.46 | ChannelZ | generally ITSPs send the call to an extension the same as the DID |
22:03.04 | ChannelZ | That depends on if you want to do the actual call termination or not. |
22:03.18 | NiceUserUser | I think I do |
22:03.23 | ChannelZ | You can do VoIP over the net, or get an interface card and do T1 |
22:05.14 | ChannelZ | There's not much to get.. you would get PRI service from a local telco... shove a card in your Asterisk machine, plug the cable into the card, and configure |
22:05.20 | NiceUserUser | if I get a hold of a 40 channel card and hook it up to the T1. Does that mean I can only have 40 numbers at all? or it means I can have 40 open voice calls going on |
22:06.19 | WIMPy | T1 has 24 channels. |
22:06.21 | m0t3jl | NiceUserUser, you can have as many numbers as you like |
22:06.25 | ChannelZ | http://www.digium.com/en/products/digital/ |
22:06.34 | drmessano | You can have as many NUMBERS as you like |
22:06.35 | m0t3jl | NiceUserUser, the amount of channels is limiting ;) |
22:06.46 | drmessano | Just not more than x number of concurrent calls |
22:07.10 | NiceUserUser | so the concurrent calls are limited by the number of channels, but I could have unlimited numbers? |
22:07.22 | ChannelZ | well.. as many as you want to pay for |
22:07.26 | WIMPy | exactely |
22:07.56 | NiceUserUser | aah |
22:08.16 | NiceUserUser | makes lots of sense |
22:08.44 | NiceUserUser | would it be possible to hook two Asterisk machines and have them call each other? |
22:08.52 | Chainsaw | NiceUserUser: Sure, with IAX. |
22:08.55 | ChannelZ | of course |
22:08.56 | NiceUserUser | like, can I use a crossover cable or something |
22:08.59 | Chainsaw | NiceUserUser: The Inter-Asterisk protocol (version 2). |
22:09.08 | ChannelZ | Ethernet |
22:09.32 | ChannelZ | (or even over the interwebs) |
22:09.36 | NiceUserUser | ah ok, see I want to have one Asterisk box answering and making calls to another system that isn't asterisk |
22:09.45 | NiceUserUser | so I'm trying to figure out the actual hook up |
22:09.58 | ChannelZ | well that depends on 'the other system' then |

22:13.41 | NiceUserUser | I need to read more about T1 stuff |
22:13.52 | NiceUserUser | any books or resources you would recommend that are specific to T1 ? |
22:14.22 | ChannelZ | Well I think you could do a crossover and it would just be like a little private T1 network. (anyone?) |
22:14.32 | NiceUserUser | that's what I would want |
22:14.45 | NiceUserUser | I would want the two systems to only dial each other |
22:14.52 | *** join/#asterisk Professional (~Pro@unaffiliated/shani) |
22:14.52 | WIMPy | You can only connect one device to a T1 and to connect two T1s you need a crossover cable or adapter. That's not the same as for ethernet, tho. |
22:15.08 | NiceUserUser | right |
22:15.55 | NiceUserUser | so if I do this cross over, and dial 555-555555 on machine A, will Asterisk be able to use a dial plan that matches 555-555555 ? |
22:16.13 | ChannelZ | basically |
22:16.18 | NiceUserUser | sweet |
22:16.35 | m0t3jl | :) |
22:16.47 | NiceUserUser | any ideas on how to do this if machine A is on T1 and Asterisk would use SIP? |
22:17.02 | ChannelZ | doesn't really matter |
22:17.11 | NiceUserUser | at that point someone has to route the T1 traffic and that's not clear to me how |
22:17.14 | WIMPy | Works very well to put Asterisk into a PRI connection as long as it's only one PRI. |
22:17.31 | WIMPy | With trunks of multiple PRIs I just discovered multiple issues. |
22:17.31 | ChannelZ | To Asterisk everything is just a 'channel', and channels can be connected to each other. |
22:17.52 | ChannelZ | So it doesn't matter if a call comes in via SIP and exits via T1 or vice versa |
22:18.43 | NiceUserUser | ah ok. But at that point is not as easy as one crossover cable, but I would need someone who manages the T1 infrastructure to do such connection |
22:19.09 | WIMPy | Huh? |
22:19.21 | ChannelZ | Well, a telephone company to connect you to the rest of the world |
22:19.23 | WIMPy | What exactely do you want to do? |
22:20.16 | NiceUserUser | I want to have two systems dialing and answering each other. One of those would be Asterisk. I'm trying to decide if I want Asterisk on a T1 (cross over cable), or via SIP |
22:20.40 | ChannelZ | These two systems talk to the outside world though yes? |
22:20.45 | WIMPy | Will any of them also be connected to something else? |
22:20.47 | ChannelZ | Or just to each other? |
22:20.56 | NiceUserUser | I would like them to be connected to just each other |
22:21.19 | ChannelZ | then as I said about 20 mins ago it depends 'on the other system' and what it is. Does it even talk SIP? |
22:21.24 | WIMPy | Then you have to use whatever the other box supports. |
22:21.32 | ChannelZ | I was assuming this was a legacy system, an old Mitel switch or something you were trying to interface with |
22:21.51 | NiceUserUser | the other box is hooked to a T1 trunk |
22:22.01 | ChannelZ | that goes where? To the outside? |
22:22.09 | WIMPy | If it has T1, you need T1 as well, and te crossover cable. |
22:22.28 | WIMPy | And where will that T1 line go that's now connected to the other box? |
22:22.53 | NiceUserUser | That I don't know |
22:23.06 | ChannelZ | scratches his head |
22:23.21 | WIMPy | So again: |
22:23.23 | NiceUserUser | goes somewhere, but I would unhook it form wherever it is hooked and just do crossover for example |
22:23.26 | WIMPy | Will any of them also be connected to something else? |
22:23.34 | NiceUserUser | no |
22:24.02 | NiceUserUser | connecting them to each other over T1, means I have to get a line card for the Asterisk box. |
22:24.02 | WIMPy | So you want to ditch that T1 and connect the box to an Asterisk instead? And nothing else? |
22:24.19 | NiceUserUser | don't want to ditch it. |
22:24.29 | NiceUserUser | the T1 box would normally call a human |
22:24.36 | NiceUserUser | I want to replace the human with Asterisk |
22:24.40 | ChannelZ | How? |
22:24.45 | WIMPy | But you don't want to cnnect it? |

22:25.06 | NiceUserUser | I want these two to be connected to each other, because I don't need to call anyone outside just each other |
22:25.14 | NiceUserUser | if I use T1, then cross over and that's cool. |
22:25.14 | WIMPy | No describe the WHOLE setup, else this is not getting forward. |
22:25.18 | NiceUserUser | but then I have to buy a line card |
22:25.25 | ChannelZ | So this existing box sits in a building with local extensions hooked up to it, but nothing else? |
22:25.35 | NiceUserUser | @ChannelZ yes |
22:25.49 | ChannelZ | It doesn't make or receive calls to/from the outside world? |
22:26.04 | NiceUserUser | so I was thinking Legacy box can stay in T1, then magically connect T1 to SIP and have Asterisk on SIP so I don't have to buy a multichannel line card for Asterisk |
22:26.23 | NiceUserUser | @ChannelZ. It could, but not as it is configured |
22:26.35 | NiceUserUser | right now is only internal |
22:26.41 | csnook | reading this is making me so happy I don't have to work with physical phone hardware |
22:26.43 | ChannelZ | Then I dunno what the T1 line is doing plugged into it in the first place. |
22:27.00 | WIMPy | So you actuially don't use/need that T1? |
22:27.02 | ChannelZ | In any case, you can't just "connect T1 to SIP" they are not the same |
22:27.35 | NiceUserUser | I figured that, that's why I was more excited about the T1 cross over |
22:27.53 | NiceUserUser | I think doing the crossover then I don't have to go through an actual phone provider |
22:28.01 | ChannelZ | You could connect Asterisk to whatever this thing is via a T1 crossover. |

22:28.11 | NiceUserUser | then legacy T1 box and Asterisk can chat to each other. |
22:28.21 | ChannelZ | I'm not sure what the point is but you can do it yes. |
22:28.29 | NiceUserUser | awesome. |
22:28.44 | NiceUserUser | You guys have been awesome. Thanks so much for your help! |
22:29.21 | ChannelZ | We have no idea what we just helped with, but ok yeah you're welcome |
22:29.35 | WIMPy | Indeed... |
22:29.45 | Chainsaw | Some robo-dialler of doom no doubt. What have you unleashed upon the world ChannelZ. Evil things. |
22:29.54 | ChannelZ | Glorified voicemail system maybe |
22:30.13 | ChannelZ | Chainsaw: Yeah but he said it doesn't talk to the outside world. That's the fascinating bit. |
22:30.35 | ChannelZ | So maybe it just annoys cubicle-dwellers. |
22:31.09 | WIMPy | Almos as fascinating as the guy yesterday who needed to transcode 1920 channels from G711 to G729 and back again. |
22:31.36 | Chainsaw | Dollar signs appeared in the eyes of any Digium guys/gals present. |
22:31.45 | Chainsaw | How many does the dedicated DSP card do again? 70? |
22:31.47 | ChannelZ | heh |
22:32.02 | Chainsaw | "So, how many PCI slots do you have? *cash register sound*" |
22:32.39 | Qwell | Chainsaw: like an E1 worth |
22:32.40 | WIMPy | Doesn't matter. I don't think you want to put more than one card into one PC with that amount of transcoding. |
22:32.55 | Qwell | WIMPy: why not? it's all being offloaded to the card |
22:33.06 | Qwell | very little CPU used for that |
22:33.21 | Qwell | err, not 1 E1 |
22:33.25 | Qwell | like 4 E1s. |
22:33.38 | WIMPy | Oh, there is actual hardware support for G729 transcoding? |
22:34.04 | Chainsaw | WIMPy: Sure. It isn't cheap. |
22:34.06 | Qwell | yes, digium TC400 |
22:34.18 | Chainsaw | WIMPy: But no more license hassles. Buy it once, done. |
22:34.23 | Qwell | Chainsaw: it isn't much more than the $10/channel you'd pay for the software licences |
22:34.36 | WIMPy | Ok, so 2xoctopri and 4xdsp maybe? |
22:34.50 | Chainsaw | Qwell: It isn't exactly at a "Sure, I'll have 5!" price level either. |
22:35.14 | Qwell | Chainsaw: sure it is, if you're planning on transcoding ~600 channels of G.729. |
22:35.22 | Qwell | it's really not much more. |
22:35.28 | WIMPy | Would be more like 32 of them. |

23:04.31 | jmmills | Does asterisk have conditionals for configuration templating... my use case: have my configs in a a git repo - have a dev server that auto-pull from the master branch upon commit - this way configuration is at least sanity checked. The problem I don't want the dev server connecting to the same sip resources as the production server |
23:05.04 | jmmills | So I was hoping there is was a conditional include or something like that so I could maybe do like: #include "sip.d/$hostname.conf" |
