I guess I will conclude this monologue by saying I came to my senses and insisted we buy a plain jane DOCSIS 3 modem to eliminate this problem gateway. Voip has become easier, first due to projects like Freepbx and PBXInAFlash... and then due to more generous bandwidth availability. But crappy...

It was too early to declare victory. Some calls are connecting, others he hears no ringback, a half ring, or one ring and then nothing.

On a whim I changed his DTMFMODE on the pbx from sip info dtmf relay to rfc2833. He made a series of successful test calls. Too early to declare victory but if this is it, someone smarter than me will have to explain why it worked before but not behind this extra router in bridge mode.

I have a bigwig in a remote location with intermittent problems calling out. He doesn't hear ringback. Person he calls often reports yes it rang but nobody there. He says he has better luck with internal asterisk extension calls for some reason. He has a Linksys PAP2T firmware 5.1.6(LS)...

We have a Polycom Soundstation analog conference room phone, on a Linksys Pap2NA ATA, and our pbx is hosted by RentPBX. Today we couldn't hear the other callers well with phone volume all the way up, and they said we were also difficult to hear. We dropped off the call and reconnected to the...

Yes, clearly it should be done in a router, or better yet, they should order more bandwidth. But I'm talking about a stopgap I can do to provide relief for or help isolate voice quality issues when I can't upgrade routers immediately, and there's really just one pc and one phone in a home...

Is there a quick and dirty way to prevent a windows pc from taking up all available upstream internet bandwidth (such as when sending out a large email attachment) and messing up call quality for an ATA or voip phone on that network? Looking for something that could be done in software on the...

I have some polycom ip330 sets, per Aretta I've set them all on unique ports, above 25000. I have done this in the FreePBX extension, and in the phone provisioning xml files, as in reg.1.server.1.port="29402" The phone registers, however instead of 29402, in SIP SHOW PEERS I see this phone on...

Hmm... ATA+Cordless Phone+Wired headset. Or wifi sip + wired headset.

You mean it may actually not be that she's high maintenance... but that I'm cheap?

Yeah, $350 is exactly the kind of thing I'm trying to avoid... I'm hoping to make a bluetooth headset work, because top of the line with two mics, noise cancelling, can be had for under $70.

Is there a way in Asterisk to be able to have two sip phones with the same extension that behave much like two analog phones on the same circuit: you can pick up either extension, hang up either extension and the call stays live, etc? I have a high maintenance user who wants a wireless headset...

I have a remote user in another city with a 3MB down/512kbps up cable internet connection we can't upgrade and need to make the best of. QOS is useless on the obsolete Cisco/linksys wrv200 router we have there, and when any device on the lan checks email his callers complain that his voice is...

This is an old thread, but for the record: Transferring or conferencing in another outside party seems to be off hook dialing, so going without a well considered digit map will eventually catch up with you.

The wikipedia article on Caller ID Spoofing seems to indicate that some vendors are able to spoof ones caller id to a region only: as in "New York Caller." Anybody know how to do this? I've tried making my caller id number 212-000-0000 or just 212 and that doesn't work: comes through as a...

wow, that didn't do what we expected. The phones locked up hard or spontaneously rebooted, likely when they received their first voicemail.

That looks like it, thanks for the link. I wouldn't think Polycom would have folks truncating lines of code like that; I expected there would be a 1 to change to a 0 somewhere. I guess this won't be a consumer appliance any time soon...

I don't know if this is an asterisk setting or a polycom setting, but when someone is out and doesn't check their voicemail, these polycoms ring briefly every now and again. How do I turn that off? It's terribly annoying when someone is out for the day. I've found a few things in the xml files...

I bought the Datastor card mentioned in this thread for these exact reasons, for use with my GPC2. The epinions review on it was spot on. Note that it is very finicky about what browser you use; for example I can't reboot from my iPhone. That said, it's saved me more than once already. I...

I have a remote user on a Linksys Pap2 device. Occasionally I have seen problems with zombie calls from that extension, as if the pbx forgets to hang up after he disconnect. One I saw on our phone bill (ouch). Another I detected when there was an univited third lurker in a Meetme conference...
