Dear, I have Asterisk 1.6 with an E1 Digium card with echo
cancellation module. So I need to use just the echo cancellation by
hardware and disable the echo cancellation by software. I use DAHDI
for my telephony hardware.

If the lines involved with echo cancel are:

In /etc/dahdi/system.conf:

echocanceller=mg2,1-15,17-31

In /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf:

echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=no
echotraining=800

What lines do I have to comment or to change the value if I want to
disable echo cancellation by software ???

Thanks a lot,

Alejandro

Agreed. I tend to use NoOp() for an actual No Operation, such as using it on the
first line of an extension:

exten => something_awesome,1,NoOp()
same => n,Verbose(2,Incoming call from ${CALLERID(all)})
same => n,Dial(SIP/someone_awesome)
same => n,Hangup

That way if you want to place things ahead of any line, you can do that without
impunity. Even using Verbose() on the first line can cause problems if you want
to move the Verbose() around and place something before it — now you have to do
some copy/pasting, and extra work that could be avoided

I see no reason why it can’t be done in principle; the vendor or VAR is
just being dismissive of open-source, lest the customer suspect they
might be able to do everything the UC560 can do with open-source
components without paying for a UC560.

The only sticking point is whether this endpoint, like Cisco Call
Manager, by default does SDP offer in the 200 OK and answer in the ACK.
This is an SDP offer-answer flow prescribed by RFC 3261 as valid but
not supported by Asterisk, as best as I can tell, even in 1.8.

Just use SNMP to get the channel usage. If you don’t want to use SNMP, then just
use something like GROUP(), GROUP_COUNT() and func_odbc to write channel usage
to the database. Something like….

[Outgoing]
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,NoOp()
same => n,GoSub(subTotalCallCounter,start,1(outgoing))

[subTotalCallCounter]
exten => start,1,NoOp()
same => n,Set(GROUP(totalcalls)=${ARG1})
same => n,Set(ODBC_TOTAL_CALLS(${ARG1})=${GROUP_COUNT(${ARG1}@totalcalls)})
same => n,Return()

[Incoming]
exten => 4165551212,1,NoOp()
same => n,GoSub(subTotalCallCounter,start,1(incoming))

[LocalSets]
exten => _1XX,1,NoOp()
same => n,GoSub(subTotalCallCounter,start,1(internal))

func_odbc

Hi,

I’m trying to add modules compiled from source into a rpm install of asterisk (from digium) on centos and asterisk complains that its not compiled with same options so it won’t load it

I know I could install the entire thing from source but for other reasons I would like to keep the main things installed from rpm and install whatever else I need from source (or roll my own rpm for those)

Thanks,
Israel
