If you have an Asterisk Server, or running an Asterisk Appliance, you can receive all your calls within Gizmo5, a softphone by Gizmo Project.The first steps of course is to setup the Gizmo5 Softphone send and receive calls via Asterisk Server. In order to so, if you are logged into Gizmo5, logout from the application. At this point you will be at the login dialog box, as shown below. And for some reason, it is not there, start the Gizmo5 application.At this point click on the checkbox named Login to Asterisk, PBX or other voice service and then click on configure (Circled in red above) to invoke the dialog box in front. Now you can enter your server information and your account information.Make sure to click on the "Enable Secondary Login" check box. If you do not know your server informa
We should not be surprised for Asterisk receiving awards but every time I see that Asterisk does, I smile with satisfaction. Everyone of us are aware that Asterisk not only gave us the best Open Source Telephony Solution, it also changed the market. I remember when we had to 5-6 figure costs for simple PBX and 5 figure cost for add on VoIP card for existing PBXs. But now those prices have come down drastically. I am sure Asterisk played a major part in making IP PBX, everybody's tool.Then the other side of it, the whole new industry and service that was build behind Asterisk to support, promote and extend Asterisk. As a whole these factors have made Asterisk a formidable force in the telecommunications arena. So these awards, valuable confirmations from those who sees the true value of Ast
Today I read about ISPBX' announcement (below) of Cogoblue, a visual configuration tool for Asterisk. Looks like the other commercial Visual configuration tool that I know, Visual Dialplan for Asterisk going have a competitor.I have mentioned about Visual Dialplan for Asterisk from version 1.2 to the latest version Visual Dialplan beta for linux. I have also tested the Visual Dialplan. And keep in mind that I have not compared every feature to feature of both these products but by browsing through both the applications capabilities as presented. Both promise to make life easier for people who deploy and manage Asterisk IPPBX.One big difference is that COGOBLUE is currently available only on ISPBX hardware. The Visual Dialplan is an application for Windows a

I love and like Asterisk for many a reasons and if I am to list those, I will have to pay Google for consuming half the space assigned for Blogger. Linux, which I spend quite a lot of time with to create Grids and clusters. Some of these grids that we create are worlds largest. So Linux gets the first place in my projects/applications/OS list. But right next to it, I have Asterisk, that I also use in various ways.But Bill Miller (also known as BeeLineBill) from Digium has given 10 thing to know and love about Asterisk. They are similar and different from the reasons that I love and like Asterisk. Sort of like looking through set of funny mirrors. Some aspects are enlarged and some others are amplified.I think I distorted facts enough and without confusing you further, I will guide you to
Update: added missing link to NVConnect for free, talk forever, pay nothing.Nerd Vittles (NV) always surprise me one way or another. Today it is SIP Proxies. Last time I looked into Asterisk SIP proxy was when a client needed me to consult on firewalled Asterisk. As the link suggests, I used SIPproxD for that purpose. I think it is still a good solution for firewalling or masquerading an Asterisk Server.Then there is Dundi, (if you do not know what Dundi is read the Asterisk Documentation or wait till NV writes about it, they promised.It was easy for me to test the NV demo as were were testing PBX in A Flash both here in USA and a far north corner in Japan. We skipped the kick-ass.net and configured our own DNS servers. Followed the instructions and it worked. (Had to correct my own typos

Some few weeks back, Ive read somewhere that putting asterisk in your blog title will catch the attention of your readers so I decided to use this tip and employ it on my blog title and heres what happened:I actually saw an uphill movement from my traffic each day around 20% of my total visits. This is after around two months of employing this technique and there might well be other factors why this happend. One, more of my pages must have been indexed by google and two, this may just be coincidental. For whatever reason this might be caused, I think im sticking with it for sometime. I may not have a 100% recommendation for you guys to employ this technique but its worth a try.If you search for "teens make money online", you will most probably see my blog on the the first page and it has an asterisk embedded. Tell me what you think about it.

We see that 3Com have recently announced they are going to resell a version of Asterisk from Digium. Designed for five to 30 phone users, it delivers plug-and-play operation right out of the box backed by 3Com’s warranty, service and support. The 3Com Asterisk Appliance works with 3Com’s full line of telephone handsets.
This is a really interesting step with a major manufacturer such as them putting their might behind an Open Source product plus this will compete head on with their existing product range. However this could be the first step toward standards-based VoIP, the question is whether any of the competition will follow.
Have a look at the 3Com Press Release here here
Good Folks at Transnexus who did a performance test on OpenSER a while back, recently performed an in-depth performance test on Asterisk V1.4.11 configured as a SIP B2BUA. This test was conducted on a server with two Xeon 5140, dual core, 2.33 GHz CPUs and 4 GB of RAM.The Good news is that they found an Asterisk B2BUA on this hardware can manage 1500 simultaneous calls with no transcoding and 400 simultaneous calls with G.711 to G.729 transcoding.So why are we limiting Asterisk Appliances to 50 Users?A summary of the test is availableThe test details are available (PDF)Tags: Asterisk, Asterisk V1.4 Performance, Asterisk V1.4 Performance test, Asterisk B2BUA, B2BUA, Asterisk Appliances, OpenSER, VoIP, G.711, G.729
The Asterisk Development Team has released the latest Asterisk version 1.4.14. This is a regular maintenance release that contains numerous bug fixes across the entire code base. A ChangeLog that lists all changes that were made is available with the release.The release is available on downloads.digium.com. It is also available as a patch against the previous release. A special note from ChangeLog that I found to be very importent;Those using SIP phones should be aware that Asterisk is sensitive to large jumps in time. Manually changing the system time using date(1) (or other similar commands) may cause SIP registrations and other internal processes to fail. If your system cannot keep accurate time by itself use NTP (http://www.ntp.org/) to keep the system clock synchronized to "real time". NTP is designed to keep the system clock synchronized by speeding up or slowing down the system clock until it is synchronized to "real time" rather than by jumping the time and causing discontin
Asterisk is an open source/free software implementation of a telephone private branch exchange (PBX) originally created by Mark Spencer of Digium. The basic Asterisk software includes many features available in proprietary PBX systems: voice mail, conference calling, interactive voice response (phone menus), and automatic call distribution. Asterisk is released under a dual license scheme, the free software license being the GNU General Public License (GPL), the other being a proprietary software license as to allow proprietary/closed and patented code, such as the G.729 codec to work with the system. Asterisk runs on NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris, although as the native platform, Linux is the most supported of these.

Well, the All-time homerun king is back in the news, and it is not for a good reason. Yesteday, Barry Bonds would boycott Cooperstown if the Hall of Fame displays his record-breaking home run ball with an asterisk. That includes skipping his potential induction ceremony.I posted a link to the video of he appearing on MSNBC's "Countdown" last night, and I believe he's right to an extent; however, the ball is a piece of history and has a story that should be told and the asterisk on it is very important.Granted, I think it is offensive someone who would deface such an important sports artifact, but it was sold and the owner has the right to do with the ball in which he sees fit. I think the drug component is also a huge part of the story, but there is not *definitive* proof that Barry Bonds ever did anything.In the end, I find it offensive and wish the ball not marked; alas, the situation at hand is the situation at hand.
I just read an article that made me so happy I almost cried!Barry Bonds announced that he will boycott the Baseball Hall of Fame if the record-breaking home run ball is displayed with an asterisk. In case you forgot, 47% of America voted that the ball be permanently branded with an asterisk and delivered to the Hall of Fame. Another 19% voted to banish it completely.Bonds had the following to say about boycotting the Hall of Fame:"I don't think you can put an asterisk in the game of baseball, and I don't think that the Hall of Fame can accept an asterisk. You cannot give people the freedom, the right to alter history. You can't do it. There's no such thing as an asterisk in baseball."Well Barry, allow me to tell you that you can't alter the opinions of most Americans that believe you're a cheater. Also, considering your excellent relationship with the press, including sports writers, who's to say you'll be voted in any time soon anyway? (Did you catch the sarcasm there?)At this

Have you been looking to use TAPI and TAPI-compatible applications to connect to the Asterisk IP-PBX? Applications like ... Microsoft Outlook, ACT!, TapiCall, MS Dialer,...? Now you can with a Open Source Project, Activa for Asterisk, Hosted at Sourceforge.According to the information provided by the site, Generally speaking a TAPI Service Provider (TSP) is a 'driver' that enables Microsoft TAPI to communicate to a telephony device such as a switch or modem. Activa brings the Asterisk IP PBX to the call center. Its components aim to enable call center implementations with functionality such as computer telephony, screenpop&click2dial, agent control, automatic dialing... The Activa package includes a basic framework that enables integration of Asterisk with your C++ applications The package also includes an Asterisk TAPI Service Provider (TSP) we called Asterisk ActivaTSP. This TSP enables integration of TAPI third party applications and Asterisk. So for instan
A vulnerability has been reported in Asterisk, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially to compromise a vulnerable system.The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the IMAP-specific code for processing voicemail messages. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted voicemail message sent as email containing an overly long (more than 1024 characters) combination of Content-Type or Content-Description headers.Successful exploitation requires that a user listens to the voicemail message via a phone. The vulnerability is reported in 1.4.x versions prior to 1.4.13.Secunia ReportAsterisk Report and SolutionTags: Denial of Service, Asterisk, Secunia, Asterisk Security, IMAP, VoIP Security
If you read the previous post on chan_mobile on asterisk, here is the follow up, straight from Asterisk SVN.Configuring chan_mobile :-The configuration file for chan_mobile is /etc/asterisk/mobile.conf. It is a normal Asterisk config file consisting of sections and key=value pairs.See configs/mobile.conf.sample for an example and an explanation of the configuration.Using chan_mobile :-chan_mobile.so must be loaded either by loading it using the Asterisk CLI, or by adding it to /etc/asterisk/modules.confSearch for your bluetooth devices using the CLI command 'mobile search'. Be patient with this command as it will take 8 - 10 seconds to do the discovery. This requires a free adapter.Headsets will generally have to be put into 'pairing' mode before they will show up here.This will return something like the following :-*CLI> mobile searchAddress Name Usable Type Port00:12:56:90:6E:00 LG TU500
Digium, the Asterisk® Company, announced at Astricon, a new Hardware module and a Software-based High Performance Echo Cancellation Solution for carrier-class voice networks to improve audio quality and reduce VoIP infrastructure costs.For Asterisk users that connect to the PSTN, the most common type of echo is hybrid echo - the echo introduced by the impedance mismatch between 2-wire and 4-wire telephone circuits. The echo manifests as a distorted and delayed reflection of the users voice while in conversation with an external party through the PSTN.The new Digium High Performance Echo Cancellation (HPEC) solutions eliminate the need for the tuning and training sometimes required to control echo conditions in Asterisk-based voice systems. The HPEC is G.168 compliant and "toll-quality" as determined by AT&T's Voice Quality Assessment Labs using a stringent series of subjective and standardized, objective tests. The Digium HPEC outperformed AT&T's benchmark lab echo canceller
On the heels of Switchvox acquisition and spreading Digium's market reach to many SMBs, Digium announced that it is signing a deal with 3COM, a network gear manufacturer, who itself was in a deal that sold itself last week.But Digium stand to gain from the 3COM deal. As thousands of 3COM dealers and resellers around the world. Also 3COM had a good history with VoIP IP Telephony. (A search on Google for this blogs name, "VoIP IP Telephony" brings 3COM just after me! )Now Asterisk stands just next to VCX, and NBX, well established telephony brands, at 3COM. I am happy to see "3COMAsterisk" proudly displayed first in the series of VoIP products offered by 3COM.3Com will sell Asterisk as its 30-and-under solution. That's because it is aiming it's own products (NBX, VCX) at the above-30-seat market. But Asterisk might replace now aging NBX gear.This deal makes Digium make it's strong hold on enterprise market stronger. 3COM already has a certain VoIP market segments covered. It also

chan_mobile is an Asterisk Channel Driver to allow Bluetooth Cell/Mobile Phones to be used as FXO devices, and Headsets as FXS devices.chan_mobile deals with both bluetooth adapters and bluetooth devices. This means you need to tell chan_mobile about the bluetooth adapters installed in your server as well as the devices (phones / headsets) you wish to use.chan_mobile currently only allows one device (phone or headset) to be connected to an adapter at a time. This means you need one adapter for each device you wish to use simultaneously. Much effort has gone into trying to make multiple devices per adapter work, but in short it doesnt.Periodically chan_mobile looks at each configured adapter, and if it is not in use (i.e. no device connected) will initiate a search for devices configured to use this adapater that may be in range. If it finds one it will connect the device and it will be available for Asterisk to use. When the device goes out of range, chan_mobile will disconnect the dev
Over much debate, and a lot of Barry bashing from yours truly, America has spoken. The record breaking 756th home run ball, hit by Barry Bonds on August 7, 2007, will be branded with an asterisk and donated to the Baseball Hall of Fame, announced Mark Ecko, the current owner of the ball.Ecko set up a website that allowed the public to vote on the fate of the ball. The choices given were to bestow it into Cooperstown, banish it into space, or brand it with an asterisk prior to giving it to Cooperstown.The public spoke, over 10 million people, actually!When I saw the choices, I first thought of banishing it into space. But, with America's luck lately, the ball would either find its way back unharmed, or be retrieved be an alien race who would then adore Bonds. But seriously, I don't think it's fair to destroy a part of history, especially in a way that might erase what the asterisk represents.However, I would NEVER have voted to bestow it, and I'm actually amazed at how many people c
Last week we reported on fashion designer Marc Ecko and his purchase of Barry Bonds' #756 home run ball. Ecko promptly made a web site allowing fans to decide on the fate of the ball voting on 3 different choices. The fans have spoken. Here are the results:A. Bestow it intact to Cooperstown: 34%B. Permanently brand the ball with an asterisk before sending to Cooperstown: 47%C. Launch it into space forever: 19%So it has been determined by the people. The Hall of Fame-bound home run record breaking ball will be forever tarnished -- just as Bonds' legacy may have been due to steroid allegations -- with a big ol' asterisk symbolizing the possible illegitimacy of Bonds' feat.Related:Vote756.comBonds' 756 ball to be branded [MLB.com]
If you are using Cacti for you network monitoring, you can add Asterisk to the list of servers/ services that cacti monitors.Cacti is a complete frontend to RRDTool, it stores all of the necessary information to create graphs and populate them with data in a MySQL database. The frontend is completely PHP driven. Along with being able to maintain Graphs, Data Sources, and Round Robin Archives in a database, cacti handles the data gathering. There is also SNMP support for those used to creating traffic graphs with MRTG.But the cream here is what ITConnection.ru created and posted the Cacti script for Asterisk IP-PBX statistics. It's based on Python, works over AMI connection and provides comprehensive graphs like this (more at where IConnection posted it);Astpligg lead me to the news.Tags: Asterisk, Asterisk monitoring, Asterisk cacti, cacti, RRDTool, MySQL, Graphs, IAX2, SIP, VoIP

The Asterisk development team has released version 1.4.11. This version contains numerous bug fixes. One of these is for a security issue in chan_sip. The issue is that SIP dialog history was being stored in memory regardless if the option for this was turned on or off. This could be abused to cause a system using chan_sip to run out of memory. The security issue is documented in AST-2007-020. Affected systems include any that are using chan_sip. Also, only Asterisk 1.4 is affected. Asterisk 1.2 is not vulnerable to this issue. http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asa/AST-2007-020.pdfTags: Asterisk 1.4, Asterisk 1.2, chan_sip, AST-2007-020, Asterisk 1.4.11, SIP dialog history
My readers may or may not be sports fans, but I am. I am a BIG sports fan, and have been following the Barry Bonds saga for years now. Last night he broke Hank Aaron's All-time Home Run record. I've not read the book that condemns Bonds, but I guess that I feel he's guilty of cheating.If you've lived on the moon, here's the scoop: Bonds was a great player. Bonds didn't hit as many home runs as some other players. Bonds then pumped his body full of artificial (and illegal, but not in baseball at the time) substances. Bonds then saw his head swell to the size of a watermelon, and he began hitting many home runs, all while in his late 30's and early 40's. Obviously he's done something for this increase in production when most are in a decline.The basic argument in favor of Barry Bonds is this: "Steroids weren't illegal in baseball until recently. So he wasn't breaking any rules, instead Major League Baseball is to blame for not having rules in place."This will preach in

Well, he did it and we can all get back to our lives ... waiting for A-Rod or someone else to pass him.

When communicating to your target audience, you want to get your message across clearly and quickly. The asterisk will stop you from achieving this. That's because the asterisk interrupts your readers from your message, makes them go to the bottom of the page to read something that's probably not a direct benefit to them anyway and then go back up to continue where they left off. This doesn't make for a quick and clear read. In fact, it often opens a door that says: "Run and don't look back."So instead of using asterisks as footnotes, say what you need to say right in the body of the copy. It can be a parenthetical. And if it's not a benefit to your audience, try to turn it into one. In other words, there's never a need to use asterisks in your sell or branding copy unless your legal department tells you to.
