    FUNNY STUFF Cable Porn

    I can't imagine what this mess is all about. I'd guess alcohol was involved in this project.

    QUESTION Need random outbound caller ID

    That sounds right. Thanks for the nudge in that direction... I'll need to search for some similar setup that I can adapt. Or complete some programming courses!

    QUESTION Need random outbound caller ID

    Right- They have about 300 DIDs with most of the US area codes that map back to their main IVR. So, if a call is initiated by an agent, the idea is, an appropriate number from the pool will be used for the outbound caller ID. At one point in the past, we'd set up something similar, but using...

    QUESTION Need random outbound caller ID

    I thought I'd revisit this old thread, as the original need for "random" caller ID has changed a bit. The pbx has DIDs for nearly every area code in the US. We'd like to set the outbound caller ID based on the area code dialed. So, agent dials 212 555-1212, and the outbound caller ID would...

    TIPS Why do my BLFs (on grandstreams) work perfect for my PBXiaf, but not on RentPBX?

    I'd check to ensure Hints is activated within the Advanced Settings section. I believe it's labeled "Enable Custom Device States." That will need to be set to "True" for BLF functionality. Peter

    TIPS Random Call from Extension 1000

    A bit late to this party, but... I'll bet there was no record of the incoming call in your pbx, is that right? I've encountered this a number of times. Inbound calls from some extension that didn't even exist on the pbx- and there was no evidence of the call coming through the PBX. Instead...

    I HAVE A DREAM Fail2Ban Hackers Permanent

    OpenSIPS, or Kamailio, et al, sitting in between a firewall / router and the PBX. So just signalling and RTP ports are forwarded to the SBC. The SBC is configured to route the phone registrations, etc, based on hostnames, to the PBX. To reach the web front end of the PBX, you'll need some...

    I HAVE A DREAM Fail2Ban Hackers Permanent

    A lot has been written about security, and there have been a lot of good, clever ideas to help in that regard. I help manage a friend's business PBX, and used to lose sleep because of security concerns. There doesn't appear to be any one, ideal solution. But here is what has worked well for...

    QUESTION Need random outbound caller ID

    Thanks... I'll explore that for more information. But I think this can be done with some pretty light edits. Experimenting with the example code, I've created a custom context "random," and pointed a test extension to it. I can manipulate the outbound caller ID, but not with any...

    QUESTION Need random outbound caller ID

    For a number of years, I've been helping a buddy with his PIAF-based call center telephone system. It's been remarkably stable, and very capable. Now they want to add a feature where the outbound caller ID is randomly set from a small pool of their DIDs. Google leads me to the RAND function...

    TIPS Anyone successfully using PiaF behind pfsense?

    I've been using pfSense for several years, and almost never have an issue.... but my setups use DID routing via IP address and port forwarding, white-listing Vitelity. There are quite a number of variables. Without any port forwarding, you must be using registration to connect with...

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT Enterprise Data Center Solution for Asterisk?

    Late to the party- I just came across this thread... We use Proxmox for our virtualization, and that works well. Proxmox itself is natted behind a PfSense firewall. But regardless of how it's hosted, some points remain the same. Services like Fail2Ban, etc, can consume a lot of CPU. So...

    TIPS Polycom 330 being wonky

    I'd be tempted to plug it back into the WiFi bridge and see if the problem continues, or if the bridge somehow "fixes" the registration timeouts. If it works correctly with the WiFi bridge this time, then possibly there's something in the router / firewall associated with the bridge's MAC-...

    TIPS Polycom 330 being wonky

    Hmmm.... Was the WiFi bridge part of the same LAN as the phone's current network drop? Is the phone on the same network as the PBX? I don't imagine it's anything to do with the PBX. But I have seen Polycoms that apparently retain some of the programming so, even though you might changed...

    Siriously: It's Wolfram Alpha for Asterisk

    Demo off-line? Hmmm.... The demo seems to be off-line. When I call in, I get either a brief initial ring followed by a busy signal, or a Google-Voice-subscriber-not-available message... I've tried calling from VoIP lines and a T-Mobile cell.... I'd like to give the service a try- it...

    Polycom-331 and PiaF

    I just saw your post, so sorry for the late reply. Hopefully you've already sorted this out. But if you haven't, or for others with this kind of problem.... Lots of things can go wrong when programming the Polycom phones. A common problem is, apparently, when using a web browser for the...
