I installed PIAF two plus years ago and am running Asterisk 1.4.21.2. This is for our home system and I'm doing it just because it interests me. I'm not an IT professional. I installed the fax functionality according to Ward's directions at that time and it has worked well for the past two...

I'm getting my iPhone set up as a remote extension. I tested it on my Wifi using the Bria softphone and following the nerdvittles instructions for setting up Traveling Man. It works great! I then switched to 3G by turning off the wifi. The connection is at 2 bars. Strangely, I couldn't...

Thank you. I feel much better now.

I moved my Piaf to a VPS so now I'm on the public internet. Am I at risk leaving the mysql passwords at their default values? Can someone point me to a resource that explains this? This seems like an obvious point to cover, but I haven't found it. Thanks.

That what I concluded and that's why I opened a global synapse account. But why would I run into the same problem with that service since they're on the public internet? In any event, I used the IP address in lieu of the trunk registration on vitelity's web site and so far all the calls have...

Yes. My Registration String looks like that. (obviously with my username and pswd). The funny thing is that the calls go through one minute and don't go through the next. I even opened an account with global synapse and moved all the trunks over. I just did this last night and I'm still...

Here's my trunk setup in FreePBX. Can I choose which of the inbound servers I want to use? I'm using a different one than you. type=friend username=myusername secret=mysecret context=from-trunk insecure=very host=inbound7.vitelity.net disallow=all allow=ulaw nat=yes qualify=no I thought that...

ronw, how is the call getting through your router if you have no ports forwarded? thx.

Lease time is not an issue. IP changes but not frequently.

This is really frustrating. I tried the trunk config that you posted and it worked for a few minutes and then stopped working. I check sip show registry and the trunk shows as registered. I call the VOIP DID 10 times in a row and I get through 50% of the time. I'm not changing anything on my...

thanks Thanks. Mutt works great and was the easy solution that I was hoping for.

I would like to send a file attachment with asterisk. The mail command that I use from the command line doesn't appear to support file attachments directly and I've found several options to use: uuencode, MIME, mutt, others. I looked into the voicemail scripts to see how it was sending my...

Thanks for the responses. I had to take a few days off from poking around the system and I haven't had any dropped registrations over that time period. I'll keep searching for the cause, but hopefully it is something that was fixed on the Vitelity side. I did add a script that checks the...

John, I'm using a Linksys wrt54g. It is using the original Linksys firmware. ronw, I double checked the modem and I am in bridge mode. How are you registering to Vitelity? Are you manually running a command or is Asterisk registering when it hits a checkpoint? Is this a common problem that...

I have two DIDs from vitelity through the PIAF link and unfortunately the trunks are losing their registration and the good folks at Vitelity have told me that it is my fault. I don't have a static IP and so they are telling me they can't help me. When I reboot my system, the DIDs work fine...

Would you mind posting what you do to monitor your trunks for failure and how you are tweaking your registration times? I lose registration to Vitelity and it doesn't reconnect on its own. I have to reboot the server sometimes to reregister. I would like to ensure that I'm trouble shooting...

Ward, Thanks! I'm a little embarrassed because TDF recommended that I look into Asteridex/Robodialer/CallWho a few days ago. I didn't find your CallWho post and didn't realize the functionality was already available. I'll follow your code to see how you did it.

Here's how I changed the number of digits utilized in the Phonebook lookup function. If you aren't familiar with it, the PB prompts you to spell the first three letters of the person you wish to call. You punch in the letters and it returns the first hit to you. You can call that number or...

Changing the number of digits to search on in the FreePBX phone book turned out to be fairly easy. I only had to change a variable value in the script that runs the phonebook. I'll document the details tonight since I'm currently at work and don't trust my memory to get the path and filename...

Yes, I'll be looking into modifying the code. Increasing the search criteria would be nice, but the real killer is the time it takes to listen to the phone book to spell the entries. That's the part that would really benefit from a TTS implementation.
