    SOLVED Portknock required every day

    Thanks to all for suggestions. It appears to be fixed (at least, the PBX worked yesterday and then again today and I didn't have to PortKnock today!). I don't even know what I did--I fiddled around with add-fqdn and add-ip, and now my new home IP address is in iptables and it appears to be...

    SOLVED Portknock required every day

    ipchecker is there, and crontab contains the following. I don't know how crontab works: Does this look appropriate? ====== SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin # m h dom mon dow user command 17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report...

    SOLVED Portknock required every day

    I installed IncrediblePBX 13-12.3 on Ubuntu, on Vultr. All was working great. Then I moved my home. I ran add-fqdn to add home.mydomain.com (which is set up through a DDNS service to update to point to my local IP address regularly, and that works). I look in iptables and I see my current IP...

    Using Obi212 for FXO and FXS

    I've been using an Obi110 to provide an FXO and FXS port for years. Now Obihai tells me pretty constantly to replace the unit, so I bought an Obi212, which is the only other device they make with both ports. Attempting to configure the Obi212 with the same settings as the Obi110 ALMOST works...

    GO HERE No outbound caller ID for most trunks

    Not to look a good answer in the face (to mix metaphors), but in my experience, even if there's no caller ID info for an incoming call, shouldn't I see at least the number? When I call my iPhone from a Vitelity trunk that I just created, I see "No Caller ID" on the phone. When strangers call me...

    GO HERE No outbound caller ID for most trunks

    Interesting. I really thought it came from. the caller. I'll check it out! Thanks. -- Ken

    GO HERE No outbound caller ID for most trunks

    Hi. Installed IncrediblePBX on Ubuntu following this guide: http://nerdvittles.com/?p=14183. Server at Vultr.com. All went well, all works well. In testing with trunks from both Google Voice and Vitelity, however, most trunks I try make outbound calls without sending caller ID. Tried a new...

    FYI Error on update-my-pbx

    Thanks. That's what it looked like, but I can SSH in. I have it set up using a fixed IP, but the status is showing two more IP addresses. Those aren't connected to anything. Unclear where they're coming from, or how to get rid of them (not strong on Linux networking setup). Any suggestions...

    FYI Error on update-my-pbx

    Hi. Recently, I've seen my Raspberry PI having trouble running Asterisk. It seems OK one day, and then the next, Asterisk is down. I tried running update-my-pbx, and I get errors back: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now...

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT Hosted IncrediblePBX, ATA inside local network

    Hi. Did get it working, without even opening any ports in my router--the Obi110 ATA set up a connection and kept it open, so everything just worked. I was very impressed. I had no problems with quality. I finally realized that it wasn't worth it for me to pay the hosting charges--just easier and...

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT Hosted IncrediblePBX, ATA inside local network

    Yep, public fixed IP address. I'm comfortable with SIP and with networking, just didn't know which specific ports I need to map for RTP. Still don't, I guess... Thanks!

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT Hosted IncrediblePBX, ATA inside local network

    Thanks. Will try it. What are the RTP ports? And yes, we do have VOIP handsets at the local location. Looks like this isn't something people have really done, so perhaps it's best that I continue to use a local PBX for now? Thanks.

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT Hosted IncrediblePBX, ATA inside local network

    Thanks. Yes, absolutely. Fixed IP address locally. Just unclear what port(s) to forward, and how to indicate to the ATA and to the hosted PBX what's going on. Thanks!

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT Hosted IncrediblePBX, ATA inside local network

    Although I appreciate the answer, I really don't understand what you're telling me, or what I can do to make this work, or if it's just not going to work. My ATA does register with the PBX, whether it's local or remote. That works fine. Can you (or someone) point me at specific instructions...

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT Hosted IncrediblePBX, ATA inside local network

    Please forgive me in advance if this is something that's easily locatable--I haven't been able to find an answer in my searching, and I feel that I must be missing something simple. I've set a hosted installation of IncrediblePBX (using the amazing Digital Ocean service), and all is well. I'm...

    Issues with Missing WAN Connection

    Thanks for the comments. I modified the SIP trunks to use IP addresses rather than FQDNs. I'll pull the plug in a quiet moment and see how it behaves. Thanks. -- Ken

    Issues with Missing WAN Connection

    I'm running FreePBX 2.8.1.4, installed as part of PIAF. I live in the country, and work from home, and occasionally my Internet connection goes out, for a period of a few minutes to days. I have noticed that my installation of PIAF goes haywire in a number of ways when this occurs, and I'd...

    FreePBX 2.9 Seg Fault

    Thanks! I only upgraded to 2.9 'cause the IncrediblePBX site says that IncrediblePBX 2 supported it. I have reinstalled (again) and will stick with 2.8 for now. With 2.8 installed (and IncrediblePBX2 running) GV calls do not currently cause a failure. Thanks -- Ken

    FreePBX 2.9 Seg Fault

    Hi. Just installed PIAF Purple and upgraded FreePBX to 2.9.0.7. Added in the new GV module (0.5.0). Copied settings over from a working installation, and all appears to be right. If I modify my outgoing routes so that calls to 1NXXXNXXXXXX go to a Google Voice trunk, Asterisk crashes when I...

    Cisco 7971/PIAF Purple/Messages button

    Put the firmware back to 8-3-4, and it works fine again, so I'm just going to leave well enough alone, and stick with 8-3-4. The phone works, MWI works, let's move on. Thanks!
