Hey Guys,

  If we started doing NO_* variables, we'd eventually run out :).

  What about this:

ASTERISK_USER=root

ASTERISK_GROUP=root

  At least this way we accomplish two things -

1)  We know the user wants to start Asterisk

2)  They can run it under alternate credentials if desired

  If they didn't define either (upgrade with old keydisk, for
instance) I'd like to make the asterisk init script say something
clever and warn the user that they aren't running Asterisk on AstLinux
;)!

  That's more similar to the other packages (openvpn, for instance).

  What do you think?

Good catch.  I moved a few other things around too.  Check rev 592.

If that's called multiple times, it is not going to cause any harm.  
Overkill, but no harm.

Forgot about that one...  I'd like Kristian's input on this one.  We'd 
need a variable in rc.conf to not start asterisk.  Then a check in the 
asterisk init script to check for this variable and exit cleanly if it's 
found.

There may be another way to accomplish this though.  We may want a list 
of services which should be started at boot or perhaps a list of 
disabled services.  It would be nice to include openser in the stock 
Astlinux image, but if both asterisk and openser are started, there may 
be some issues. 

As a reminder, what Lonnie is doing is using an instance of Astlinux to 
provide an openvpn end point.  He didn't want asterisk started.  (no 
need to in this case).

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Darrick,

Thanks... quick look, looks great.

1) Line 94 of your /etc/init.d/openvpn needs another "fi"

94: fi
95: fi
96: }

2) So if I include "sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" on my rc.local  
keydisk, no problem that this gets called a bunch of times?

3) How about my NO_ASTERISK (exit) variable in /etc/init.d/asterisk ?

Lonnie,

I committed most of the changes you requested for openvpn to trunk.  
This includes a modified init script, the inclusion of only easy-rsa 
version 2 scripts, changes to rc.conf for a few additional variables and 
the possibility of using your own openvpn.conf file from the key disk.  
One key setting that I did not include is the enabling of 
ip_forwarding.  While this is required if you want openvpn to route to 
other pc's on the network, this should be enabled by the firewall.  If 
you want to enable ip fowarding without a firewall, add a line to 
rc.local on your keydisk.

[Astlinux-users] NVFaxDetect with AstLinus

[Kevin K. <Ast...@gt...>]

Does anyone know if AstLinux will support NVFaxDetect?  I took a look in the
development environment and didn't see it as an option.  I would like to
provide faxing with SIP connections with G711U.

Thanks,

Kristian,

The output is: Class 0200: 10ec:8167 (rev 10) Subsystem: 16f3:10ec.

Thanks for all. I hope next revision will be ready soon. Without NIC I
can't test the system.

Manuel,

  It probably does not recognize your PCI ID.  This is fixed in later
kernels.  Can you run lspci with -nv and give us the PCI ID to make
sure?

  For your LCD - it would probably just be easier to add lcd4linux.
I'll look into this.

Hi,

I have bought this Mini-ITX mother board:
https://linitx.com/product_info.php?cPath=12_138&products_id=1178

The problem is that this board has Dual RealteK RTL8110SC 10/100/1000
and when starts AstLinux 0.4.4 not detect these NIC.  Please, it's
possible to include the drivers in the next release? When will be
ready the next release? I'm trying to use the development environment
but with many problems and errors.  Kristian, it's possible to have a
daily image file?

I have another minor problem. I have bought this case:
https://linitx.com/product_info.php?cPath=8_164&products_id=1228
http://www.mini-box.com/picoLCD-20x2-OEM?category=490

The installed LCD needs some drivers and programs. Someone is using
this LCD? Can send me more details?

Thanks,

Manuel

Manuel,

  Try to "modprobe r8169".

  There is an improved version in 2.6.19.2 and later (I'm working on
2.6.20 right now).  I'll even enable NAPI for you!

  As far as your LCD, have you looked at LCDProc yet?

Ingmar,

  You have some good points here.  Buy the codec - it supports Digium.

  With regards to the original question - why do you need to transcode
at all?  I use g729 quite a bit, and I have not needed to transcode on
an Asterisk system for quite some time.  It takes a bit of tweaking,
but it can be done.

Hi David,

there is only one answer to your question: buy a g729 license from
Digium! This works out-of-box with Astlinux. A nice register utility is
included.

There were already several threads in this mailing list and on the
asterisk-users which discussed this topic in detail (pros and cons,
legal, technical, etc.). Please have a look in the archives.

[Astlinux-users] New AstLinux Branch: RT PREEMPT ("realtime" Linux) - Looking for testers

[Kristian K. <kri...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

  Now that astlinux-trunk has been coming along very nicely, I thought
I would try to add support for hard realtime capabilities to AstLinux.

  If everything works (and there are no problems with zaptel), with a
little tweaking this should improve the audio quality on systems with
high loads (and probably any system at that) - especially if it is
finely tuned and has zaptel cards.

  The stats:

- Asterisk 1.2.14
- Zaptel 1.2.13
- Kernel 2.6.20
- rt patch 2.6.20-rt5
- everything else from AstLinux...

  If you would like to hack on this, give the astlinux rt branch a try:

svn co https://astlinux.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/astlinux/branches/rt
astlinux-rt

  If you just want to try it on something, I made a bootable iso
("make iso" from the devel environment).  Get it here:

http://www.krisk.org/astlinux/astlinux-rt-r588.iso

(sorry about the krisk.org domain - I don't feel like dealing with
SourceForge right now)

Further reading:

http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RT_PREEMPT_HOWTO

http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/

http://rlove.org/schedutils/

  I'm looking for any and all suggestions from Asterisk code gurus -
what things can we do in Asterisk/Zaptel to maximize the potential
when running with RT PREEMPT?

  Thanks, I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say.

David,

  According to this page:

http://www.aastratelecom.com/ipphones/pro_240.asp

  That phone (like most others) only supports ulaw/alaw/g729.
Asterisk won't negotiate a codec that the endpoint doesn't support!
(At least most of the time, anyways)... :)

Re: [Astlinux-users] Using alternative codecs for SIP stations

[Tony P. <To...@pl...>]

You do not mention if you changed the order in the Aastra phone itself.  You=
 do need to change it in the Aastra section in sip.conf and the order in the=
 phone itself.  The codec that is used is the first one combinable on both=
 devices.

  <pre wrap="">Hi guys,

I've had a search through the list for this problem, but couldn't find an answer. Sorry if I've missed it.

I've got Astlinux 0.4.0 running on a pretty beefy box. I want to experiment with codecs other than alaw and ulaw (I'm especially interested in gsm and ilbc) but when I try and force my phone (Aastra 9133i) and Asterisk to use other codecs by rearranging their order in sip.conf (both in general and in the section for my Aastra), it ignores the codec order and just uses alaw. If I disallow alaw and ulaw, then the call is dropped. The extension I'm calling is the built-in speaking clock application so the call is kept internally as a sip call. The only other codec I've successfully managed to use apart from alaw and ulaw is g726 which sounded awful.

Is the Aastra not compatible with other codecs?

Any ideas about how to get the other codecs to work would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

David.

Don't you think 166MHz might be a little on the slow end?

The net4801-50 is $230 (quantity 20, board, case, power supply) for a
proven, time tested, faster solution.  By the time you add a PoE
switch and IP phones, the CPU box savings is in the noise.

It is real cool a home builder is considering this; a AstLinux box,
Netgear FS116P PoE switch, a few SPA-942 phones.  Great system for a
$1000-$1500 extra.  Much nicer than the Panasonic solutions of the
recent past.

[Astlinux-users] Bonjour questions

[<ast...@el...>]

Hello all,


Bonjour seems like a great way to advertise the presence of Asterisk and
to point users in the right direction. But what about the reverse? Could
Bonjour be used to listen for a SIP phone that advertised its presence?

A simple scenario is having phones advertise themselves through Bonjour,
listing up their management interfaces (http, https, telnet, etc). A PHP
webpage takes the Bonjour information, and presents properly formated
links to the services of the devices AstLinux can see. So, clicking a
devices link will allow access to the device.

I may be asking too much here, but what sort of functionality would be
needed on the phone and in AstLinux to allow for client/server discovery,
and possibly partial or full configuration/provisioning of a phone from an
AstLinux box, in a generic manner? Bonjour seems to be a pretty device
agnostic way of potentially accomplishing that.

Am I missing something here?



Thank you for your time.

Ben

Re: [Astlinux-users] Anyone used one of these?

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Mark Weisler,

In my situation, I use another net4801 box to run m0n0wall.  QoS and  
much more. WAN, LAN and DMZ ports.  Your suspicions are correct, QoS  
is very important in the home environment.

There are less expensive solutions for a router/firewall.  Linksys  
routers with alternative firmware has such QoS features.  Some people  
have good luck with that... do your research.

One solution, not to be overlooked, is configuring the net4801  
AstLinux as a router with QoS traffic shaping in addition to  
asterisk.  I don't use this, personally, but I have heard of others  
that do.  This solution requires some extra technical experience.

As you can tell, I really like the embedded box solution.  The  
upfront cost is more, but in most of these situations reliability is  
top priority.  I have an extra net4801 sitting on the bench, for  
testing and backup in the unlikely event one dies.  At a moments  
notice this spare box can run m0n0wall, AstLinux asterisk or an  
AstLinux OpenVPN server.

The net4801's coming-out-of-my-ears has worked well for me.  The  
extra upfront cost can be though of as an insurance policy.  This is  
one solution that has worked well for me.

Lonnie
