LMCE 10.04 Asterisk status

[daballiemo]

Hi all,

because my 8.10 system is slowly breaking down on me hardware wise, I have taken on the task to install 10.04 on a brand new core system. As power usage is a major concern I have chosen a Asus EeePc to be my new core. Everything installed nicely and with some configuring I even have Mythtv up and running with IPTV.

The thing I noticed however is that the Asterisk side of things is not in a workable state. My system registers nicely to my Voip provider, but incoming calls do not get detected, Also a Generic Iphone and a Cisco 7960 can be added to the system but do not work. What I see in the Asterisk logs is that the phones cannot be found in the configuration.

Anybody able to tell what exactly the status of Asterisk under 10.04 is at the moment?

in my install 10.04  all phones is working
 i have 2 x 7941   and one 7921
and one ata for pstn incoming call , only  issue that i have is that caller id from pstn  is not passed  to asterisk.

Thx, did you configure the phones manually or did the system detect them?

My system uses IAX instead of SIP and has issues. Also, my core softphone does not work, whereas my MD softphone does. See my thread about the issue: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php/topic,12304.15.html

all cisco phones is auto detect  and ata is configured  manually

Hi Han
Just a question on your new core

when you say EeePc are you meaning the laptop, or are you referring to the Eee Box?

I'm in a similar situation as yours (core died ... have to build a new one ...) and I'm also concerned about power usage, so I'm curious about the specs of your new core ...

thanks in advance
Marco

Hey Marco,

Its a EeePc box so the desktop thingie with 2 gb memory, ion chipset, dual core 1.6 ghz atom and a 300 gb hd. I am using this beside my old powerhungry server and want to extend the storage via nas in the near future.
Expected power consumption 20 + 20 watts instead of 180 atm.

I have a VLAN aware switch and I have configured the Eeepc with 2 vlan's, one being the outside network, one being the internal lan

I have deleted all the phones I added and started from scratch. 7960 is now seen by the system and added. I reloaded the router and the phone. Now I am stuck with extension 201 on the phone with a cross beside it on the display.
Will investigate further

[daballiemo]

We'll that solved itself very quickly:

The wikihttp://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Cisco_7970 says:

Note for CISCO 7960 SIP users: if your phone fails to register with asterisk then edit /tftpboot/SIPDefault.cnf and append

nat_enable: 1

I did that in the beginning but somehow the SIPDefault.cnf got overwritten 
I added nat_enable : 1 again and:

Code:

dcerouter*CLI> sip show peers
Name/username              Host                                    Dyn Forcerport ACL Port     Status     Realtime
200/200                    192.168.80.1                             D   N      5061     Unmonitored Cached RT

2 sip peers [Monitored: 0 online, 0 offline Unmonitored: 2 online, 0 offline]

Now I am getting somewhere

[cfernandes]

i think  that the /usr/pluto/bin/configure_cisco7960.pl need to be changed .

my cisco use sccp  work fine.

[posde]

7960s which are sccp based should be setup as 7970, iirc.

Hello guys

i have one issue  with  security menu no sound is played  on Phone.

asterisk try to open files on  /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/pluto
but the script 
/usr/pluto/bin/pluto-sos-speak.pl 

creating files on
/usr/share/asterisk/sounds/pluto

to correct create a synlink  to this destination,

but i think the best  action is to fix  script or on asterisk.conf  ->astvarlibdir
what you guys think ?

[posde]

Fix it, and create a trac ticket with a patch. thx
