| 00:01.12 | mitchrodrigues | ya i didnt see anything |
| 00:01.19 | mitchrodrigues | thats why we went from 11.4 to 11.5.1 |
| 00:01.30 | mitchrodrigues | we are trying to upgrade all of our infrastructure from 1.4.43 |
| 00:01.42 | mitchrodrigues | but it seems we are hitting alot of issues, in terms of stability |
| 00:04.00 | mitchrodrigues | least i have a smoking gun so i can further debug from their. perhaps ill test out 11.7 but we have to full regression test again |
| 00:04.19 | mitchrodrigues | anyways im heading home ill see yall in a bit |

| 02:46.38 | Penguin | Did you get it sorted? |
| 02:46.55 | phix | yes, there was an option on the snom300 that I overlooked that said encryption = Yes |
| 02:47.00 | phix | I changed it to No |
| 02:47.16 | bunchof6 | Yeah, its a python script that creates a callfile based on input you give it with a command |
| 02:47.30 | phix | but it was weird as asterisk said it was using SRTP but the snom300 wasnt even though it was the snom300 that was telling asterisk it wanted to use SRTP |
| 02:47.33 | phix | weird |
| 02:47.34 | Penguin | Okay, a call file. |
| 02:48.55 | phix | Penguin: should I run SIP on 5060 or on a higher port? will that reduce the change of people trying to authenticate into my system? |
| 02:48.59 | bunchof6 | Yeah, the code I'm using is on the site here, http://pycall.org/ |
| 02:48.59 | Penguin | bunchof6: As of right now, the script creates the call file... and it connects one channel to application Playback. Is that correct? |
| 02:49.09 | bunchof6 | yeah |
| 02:49.19 | Penguin | phix: Secure your asterisk and it won't be a problem. |

| 02:50.10 | phix | Is that shipped with the Ubuntu package? |
| 02:50.15 | Penguin | bunchof6: And you want it to connect the called channel to what? |
| 02:50.32 | bunchof6 | My immediate thought is that there must be an application name for IVR, and a specific number or name for the one I have created |

| 02:52.03 | bunchof6 | I want it to basically act like an inbound call, where the person being called just gets the IVR |
| 02:52.07 | Penguin | bunchof6: IVR is a concept. In asterisk, it is usually a combination of Read() and GotoIf(), and AGI(), et cetera. |

| 02:54.12 | phix | Penguin: My user doesn't want to call me every time they need to set a vacation message, they want to do it themselves, I guess I could make up a simple django or play project to do it, just wondering if anything existed first before I started making one from scratch |

| 02:56.52 | phix | MaliutaLap: allow them to type in a number to redirect to? hmmm how would I persist that? sqlite or is there a persistance framework / api in asterisk? |
| 02:57.25 | MaliutaLap | phix: astdb, sqlite3, pgsql, mysql .... |
| 02:57.37 | MaliutaLap | phix: pick your poison |
| 02:58.12 | phix | Penguin: vaction message as in instead of ringing the extension it plays a pre-recorded message stating the person isn't there, I guess I could implement that using the voicemail instead |
| 02:58.48 | Penguin | If you're doing it for a single person in an office, that's what voice mail is for. |

| 04:32.29 | bunchof6 | good link, channelz, thanks |
| 04:34.27 | ChannelZ | It's not that convoluted |
| 04:35.21 | ChannelZ | You just need a frame of reference. |
| 04:39.12 | bunchof6 | So I guess I need to know the particular numbers for whatever extension I am attempting to send this call to |
| 04:39.52 | bunchof6 | freepbx doesnt seem to make this obvious |

| 04:48.48 | bunchof6 | It definitely does. Im getting it slowly, im new to pretty much everything involved though, so im googling up a storm to figure out what each option is talking about |
| 04:54.44 | ChannelZ | Well just know you're learning freepbx, not asterisk. |
| 04:55.43 | Penguin | Learning FreePBX isn't very helpful when you have problems with asterisk. |
| 04:57.02 | Penguin | And I don't see how having to know where to insert your call into the dial plan is convoluted. |
| 04:57.23 | Penguin | How else can you make it work? You want asterisk to GUESS what to do with your call? |
| 05:00.02 | bunchof6 | maybe it was overgeneralization to say a thing is convoluted without first explaining that I meant from my point of view |

| 05:16.50 | bunchof6 | I gotcha |
| 05:16.53 | Penguin | Perhaps the people in the FreePBX channel can tell you how to find your "IVR" and then you can relay that information to the people in this channel to finish working on your script. |

| 16:41.16 | ghost75 | its sending with v17 always instead of v27 |
| 16:41.35 | coppice | are you sending or receiving? |
| 16:42.02 | ghost75 | sending |
| 16:42.51 | Penguin | My thought is that it will behave exactly like codec negotiation does in SIP. If you're sending with v17 and the receiving end accepts v17, there is no reason to try another one of your configured modes. |
| 16:42.59 | ghost75 | i think there was even a bug it was always using 14,4k v17 |
| 16:43.09 | Penguin | If you don't want to use v17, take it off your list. |
| 16:43.47 | ghost75 | modems=v29,v17,v27 |
| 16:44.23 | ghost75 | if i remove v17 then maybe it fails if the receiver doesnt talk v29 or v27 ? |
| 16:44.50 | coppice | the practice is to go from fastest to slowest. both ends can cap the modems to all, or only V29+V27 only v27. the sender can control the actual sequence, but works down, and nothing else makes send in the real world. if you don't want to use V.17, remove it from the list |
| 16:44.58 | Penguin | If the receiver does not accept v27 or v29, THAT would be the reason it keeps using v17. |
| 16:45.20 | ghost75 | it would but i dont know if thats the case |
| 16:45.23 | coppice | all fax machines talk V.29 and V.27. they don't all talk v.17 |
| 16:45.51 | ghost75 | i looked into hp fax manual and it states v17 as fast and v29 as medium speed |
| 16:45.56 | coppice | although some. like Canons, talk V.29 very badly |
| 16:46.49 | ghost75 | i want to avoid v17 because its 14400 kand probably too fast for g.711, so 9600k should be better |

| 17:14.59 | coppice | The Digium code has some limitations on file handling, but spandsp will recode the files quite freely to suite the call conditions. Just choose a command that gives the resolution you desire, and don't worry too much about the encoding |

| 21:07.04 | file | there is nothing you can tweak, they won't terminate calls to certain areas because they have traditionally been used by free conference services to make money |
| 21:08.45 | apb1963 | hmm... I hear what you're saying... yet there are some times when it does in fact work. |
| 21:08.47 | [TK]D-Fender | I don't "asterisk" giving anything a "busy signal" there. I see a rather clear "answered" |
| 21:09.25 | apb1963 | well, I HEAR a busy signal so, that's what I was referring to. |
| 21:09.33 | file | Google Voice is providing it as audio. |
| 21:10.53 | apb1963 | Also... when the conference is over, I have no problem connecting |
| 21:11.03 | apb1963 | like right now... i can get through just fine. |
| 21:11.18 | apb1963 | By when I actually need to connect.... it doesn't happen. |
| 21:11.58 | apb1963 | s/By/But |
| 21:12.07 | Gugge | Maybe someone else is using GV to connect, and only the first one is allowed? :) |
| 21:12.27 | apb1963 | I have exclusive access... unless you mean GV for the entire USA :) |
| 21:13.02 | Gugge | a conference call with only you? |
| 21:13.08 | apb1963 | about 85 people |
| 21:13.10 | Gugge | that seems a bit boring :) |
| 21:13.16 | apb1963 | less boring |
| 21:13.21 | Gugge | so: Maybe someone else is using GV to connect, and only the first one is allowed? :) |
| 21:14.27 | Penguin | Are you saying that two totally independent GV numbers cannot call a common phone number? |
| 21:14.42 | apb1963 | I suppose it's a possibility... seems kind of strange.. but then the GV folks aren't too bright in general so... you might be right. |
| 21:14.53 | file | it's Google Voice. |

| 21:16.03 | Gugge | Penguin: note the "maybe" :) |
| 21:16.18 | apb1963 | You want to dial first, or shall I? |
| 21:16.39 | Penguin | Just confirm the conf number for me. |
| 21:17.25 | Penguin | I'll let you dial first, but I need to know the conference phone number. |

| 21:19.32 | Penguin | I got the access code prompt. |
| 21:19.42 | apb1963 | yeah, that's where I was |
| 21:20.03 | apb1963 | Maybe the limit isn't 1... maybe the limit is higher... 5... 10... who knows? |
| 21:20.05 | Penguin | I called at 1518.52 and hung up at 1519.09 CST. |
| 21:20.52 | Penguin | The problem may be unrelated to Google Voice. |
| 21:21.59 | apb1963 | well.. that's why I'm here... see if anyone has any answers... or at least ideas. |
| 21:22.58 | apb1963 | Although... again... if I use my regular landline.. I never have a problem. |
| 21:23.30 | apb1963 | So it's clearly something to do with something related to asterisk... which includes GV module. |
| 21:23.45 | Penguin | Are you sure you hear busy as opposed to temp fail tone? |
| 21:23.51 | apb1963 | oh |

| 21:28.26 | Penguin | It could be real congestion. |
| 21:28.32 | Gugge | if i had a provider that did that, i would call them and ask why :) |
| 21:28.52 | apb1963 | GV can't be called or held accountable for anything... it's designed that way :/ |
| 21:29.07 | Penguin | And we agreed to use in that way. |
| 21:29.31 | apb1963 | I did click. It's true. |
| 21:30.08 | apb1963 | I tend to get clicky... I mean it's use it or lose it... click or be clicked... or something like that. |
| 21:30.59 | apb1963 | So by real congestion you mean network traffic? An overabundance of packets on a segment of wire? |
| 21:31.50 | Penguin | Not necessarily the VoIP network, but probably the PSTN. |
| 21:32.28 | apb1963 | So the CO that services that number ran out of circuits? |
| 21:33.37 | Penguin | Could be, but that isn't exactly what I was saying. Google has to terminate its calls somewhere. There are switched routes to get you to the destination. Somewhere along that path, there could be congestion. It's just an idea. |
| 21:36.08 | apb1963 | It may be my imagination, but it seems like each time I complain about it here, it works the following week... but not the week thereafter. |
| 21:36.33 | Penguin | Try complaining about it even on the week that it works. |
| 21:36.45 | apb1963 | Why? |
| 21:36.57 | Penguin | So that it will work the following week, of course. |
