<tongue-in-cheek> I had another thought. Forget figuring it out and throw up an IVR that says "press 1 for John, press 2 for Mary" and you'll have a lot fewer xcrossed calls. </tongue-in-cheek>

As my girlfriend says, "that is messed." Parked calls are parked in an Asterisk application that keeps track of who had what calls parked and where they should go. They should not be accessible from the dialplan to external calls like that. One suggestion - can't user A just put caller 1 on...

The MeetMe of Asterisk is fairly primitive and limited. I do not believe this functionality exists. I have heard tale of a MeetMe replacement from time to time, but I've never used any such beasts.

Pop one module board off at a time and see which one is the problem. Lightning strikes have destroyed more than one of our TDM daughtercards from time to time.

I'm serve as the CTO of a company that uses Enswitch to resell bandwidth to resellers as well as to sell bandwidth to end clients. Previously, their direct end clients all had SonicWalls as their border routers and, in most cases, any internal network routing/switching equipment. When this...

My suggestion is an RMA with money back and get an Acer Aspire Revo. :)

The VPN stuff sounds as though the two ends didn't know that they were part of the same overall network. Setting localnet=remote_subnet in sip_general_custom.conf basically fixes that by letting the Asterisk box think that it's on the same subnet as the remote box. I'm not an Android user so...

So what happened a week and a half ago? Do you have control over the intervening network? Did some "well meaning" networking person do something? More details about the setup would be helpful.

We gave up on external audio for our systems long ago. Never got what we wanted out of it, either from line-ins or from streaming sources. I'd be curious to know how you make out with this. We want to stream local public radio stations to our clients that underwrite programs on those stations.

I'll assume the pfsense install is separate from the PIAF box? I don't know pfsense specifically, but is there a way to make the VPN connection the same subnet across the remote networks? Meaning, 192.168.1.0/24 is the left hand side and .0.0/24 is the right hand side and 10.0.1.0/24 is the...

X-ten's "Authorization name" must not be blank. This is the username it authenticates with, which may be different than the extension number. Put 701 here and you should be good to go.

SELinux is great on a machine that will have users (even if they're just system administrators) on it, doing things. It will help protect against accidental or intentional modifications to systems that are integral to the functionality and availability of the system. On a server class machine...

I think a blocked email would show up in /var/log/maillog, in that case. Don't know for sure, since I NEVER have broken email servers. :rolleyes:

Crank up the debug/verbose in the Asterisk log and have a look see at /var/log/asterisk/full would be my next suggestion. Typically, not being able to send mail is a result of one of two things: 1) Not being TOLD to send mail (so check your extension configuration) 2) Not being ABLE to send...

Go one step farther and use pageant (with putty on a PC) or ssh-agent on a UNIX box to store your keys while you're online and you only have to enter them once. The ssh connection will look for a key manager, and if there is one, use the keys stored there, if applicable. I can type 120+ wpm...

In general, you will need t*f*t*p, FTP, or HTTP access from the network that the phones are on through all the firewalls that are between you and your server, and then your server needs to be set up to allow connectivity to t*f*t*p, FTP, or HTTP to provide the configuration files to your phones...

Can you send any mail from the system? Try this command: mail -s "this is a test" [email protected] < /dev/null See what happens.

Just make sure that /etc/ssh/sshd_config contains the line: PasswordAuthentication no

My first result was...#fail. That was just taking our stock PBX box and do a stock Asterisk 1.6.2 install. I didn't even look at what the errors were yet, so this tells you how "important" it is to me. :) Will report progress when I have something further to report.

People ask me this all the time. "Should I upgrade product ABC from version X to version Y?" The answer is always the same: Is the return on investment of time, money, resources, and sleepless nights going to be worth the additional functionality, stability, and/or bug fixes that you will get...
