I can place calls via our IP Phones and recieve incoming calls to our IP Phones. I had to enable "sip debug peer sip.broadvoice.com" to see what was going on.
After some tweaking around the main thing that worked for me was the following:
I had to add the extension (the full e164 number) at the end of the register command because I needed that full number to be sent to my CCM4.1.2. From there my CCM4.1.2 will use only the four last digits and forward the call to a set of shared lines.
So, everything is working. Thanks to you tconn! I really do appreciate your help on this.
So one last quesion or opinion, is this solution, involving Asterisk PBX as a middle piece, working out for you in terms of quality and performance?
hey tconn, i need your help again. no changes were made, but now I cannot recieve inbound calls. outbound calling is still good. Here is a copy of my extension.conf file for inbound calling. Does this look right compared to what you have working?
The first line doesn't match the others. Your incoming calls probably are sent to 1NXXNXXXXXX rather than just NXXNXXXXXX.
You might look at making a rule like "anything inbound":
exten => _.,1,1,dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@cmp01tra,30)
exten => _.,2,congestion()
exten => _.,102,busy()
tconn, could you send me your config files, minus the logins of course.. I've been trying to seutp asterisk as a proxy for my callmanager to my broadvoice account but wasn't having much luck..
[labcm33]; THIS IS MY CALLMANAGER
type=friend
host=1.2.3.4
port=5061; I use a nonstandard port, not normally needed.
context=labcm33
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
nat=no
canreinvite=no
qualify=yes
[outbound]
;check for an available channel at BV, fallback to PRI if Broadvoice isn't taking calls today...
exten => _.,1,noop()
exten => _.,2,ChanIsAvail(SIP/${EXTEN}@sipbroadvoice1)
exten => _.,3,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@sipbroadvoice1,,${OUTBOUND_DIAL_OPTIONS})
The settings for the callmanager are usually straightforward. Nothing fancy on that side...
Troubleshooting hints:
1. Can you call your BV number and see activity on your asterisk console? If not, you aren't registered properly.
2. Do you see console activity on outbound calls? Add some 'exten=>...NoOp(This is debugging info. Call to ${EXTEN} in the context: labcm33)' debugging info...
I am the first to admin, I spent many many fruitless hours farting around with different settings until it finally worked. In the end, it was the most simple config that seemed to work best.
Pass along? No.. But you do need to dial whatever number you want the call to goto:
[main-menu]; this is the context I used in the sipBroadvoice entry above
exten => <BVnumbr>,1,Dial(SIP/1001@labcm33); will send the call to extension 1001 on the CM.
I have another question for you.. Are you allowed to make multiple calls at the same time? I can do that.. I would figure that broadvoice would deny this feature.. Espsecially since I have the cheap plan right now...
Well, you know ... before I was able to get inbound and outbound working through broadvoice.com, but 24hrs later inbound calling STOPPED! Nothing was changed in terms of my configuration or setup. I tried to speak with broadvoice support ...no response. that is unaccepable to me.
So, I tried using VoicePulse Connect and that has been working out for me the last few weeks. That is how it should work. Plus there tech-support is awesome with timely responses.
So, I saw your last post with your entire configuration (sip.conf, ext.conf) and attempted to use that to re-configure and connect with Broadvoice. I get the same the problem. Outgoing calls are GOOD, Inbound Calls are "BUSY" and doesn't work.
So, honestly I am not sure if you gentlemen are doing something more that isn't listed here, but inbound calling doesn't work. The console shows "BUSY". I switch my config back to VoicePulse ... it works! Please share my magic with me and what you are doing to get this to work for inbound/outboud calling.
If I am missing anything or if there is something I need to do please help me because I have wasted hours with SIP to BROADVOICE with no true results. However spending minutes with SIP to VoicePulse.
I've got this working flawlessly with BroadBoice but I would like to use my Vonage account. Where did you get the Vonage account information such as password and host name for your vonage account? Thanks
Does anyone else get bad call quality with broadvoice? I get garbled voice, etc.. But I have a vonage account as well and it works fine. I did change to like the LAX proxy and it worked better.. Seems like broadvoice is running out of bandwidth.
