Eh? Not familiar with that one.. Are you referring to the Cisco ATA-186?

It's like the ATA-186 and yes, it should work just fine.

I had an idea that I have no clue (As of yet, I'm just diving into all this asterisk stuff) how hard it would be. What about a status page? That once someone logs in to the system it updates a database and I can open a page and see who is on the phone system?

Not something that is very easy to do. I've thought about that before myself.

OK folks. I set up another person today. He was behind three, count em, three NATs. Worked perfectly.
One thing that I did have to do is get him to download the RIGHT version of the software.
IE; You want this one...

You don't want the "Auto Config" version.

Just a suggestion - post your BAT number in your sig so we can get ahold of you! K4WTF - when we set it up - the DISPLAY field is what it should display when you call someone on their phone correct? (liek caller ID?) I called someone last night and they said it didnt say any info, and their info didnt show up when they called me. Am I missing something?
Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2004 2:51 pm
by k4wtf
The display field will be caller ID *unless* I force your caller-ID on my side of things at the server, which I'm doing. I don't know why you wouldn't see any caller-ID information.
And I'm BAT-0000 and BAT-8888

If you guys want me to bridge a conference, I have X-Pro (which has 6 lines). You can call me at extension BAT-5260. I'll put AA/AC on so you can bridge in directly.
question?

I have a motorola surfboard SBV4200 voice over ip cable modem. Its one of those time warner jobbies, and I dont have time warner service. Is there a way I could make this thing work? I really dont think I can b/c it seems the way you get your internet connection into this thing is thru the cable jack, but I figured I would ask here first.
Thanks

Just talked to John over using this from behind one of the routers that the software says won't work ( SMC 7004 AWBR ). Thanks John!

Someone tried calling me a couple of hours just as I'd stepped out for a sec... but the SIP display name only had "Mitel 3300 IP admin" or something like that.
Who has a Mitel phone and tried calling me?

I did
I called you using my administrator's extension on my own switch. I created a test dialplan to John's switch by dialing 8 followed by the last 4 digits of your number.

lol cool
If I find the time I might graft Bat-Tel into our SIP system here as well...

Have your switch register with my switch and it won't do that. I just remembered tracking this type of thing in the past.

OK. I'll fess up. I'm the one who left the screaming monkey voicemail for a few of you. I figured you'd find it humerous.
We're going to have FUN with this... I can tell already!
Everyone except Alex that is. He's got that sonicwall that won't let him have fun.

what type of file will the import feature support?
i was thinking if we maintained one file with the phone numbers/names/screenames, we could all import them and have phone books that could be updated easily.

SO what's up with the caller id feature? It doesn't seem to work at all for me.. I haven't seen anyone that has called. All I get is blank names.

Affirm, same with me.

that's what i have gotten so far also... do you have to have people in the phone book to show caller id?

I did have John show up on it... but no one else.

I don't know about the caller-id. I'm not a SIP expert by any means guys. How many people's CID is working?

In Asterisk, there is support for a "Radio Repeater".

Alright,I'm finally online and working (228-1337 - c4u53 1 4m k-r4d 1337 r000fl3z! kekekekekeke~~~!!!!!!!!11 )
Is anyone running on a Mac? If so, I had a hell of a time getting X-lite to accept my password. It kept reverting to whatever the default was (and the fact the mouse doesn't work in the config screen didn't make things any easier). It finally, for some reason, worked and I was up and talking to r0f and Excalibur last night.
Great job, John! Nice to see something good on here that we all can use.

I setup X-Lite with the above instructions and everything is correct. It says "Discovered open IP" on the top. I enter a number and it just sits there like nothing is happening. No idication it is trying to do anything, not errors, no nothing. What am I missing here??
P.S.- Where I am right now, I am on a dialup so I know it won't work well. But I figure it should do SOMETHING?

Do you still have the program running? If it's running, I can watch the debug logs and try to find out what the problem is.

It's open and running now but still does nothing.

OK folks.
For your amusement, you can now dial "8378" (test) and get to a menu tree that I'll be adding different things to as I get to them.
Right now, here are the menu options:
11# - who knows?
12# - record a file, playback a file (press # to finish recording)
13# - Time/Date
14# - Playback your caller ID information
15# - who knows?
16# - who knows?
Enjoy...

Matt - after you dial the number, did you push the Dial button? The little green one that has a phone on it? I got stuck the first time with that too

Well I have successfuly downloaded the software and made all the proper settings. I believe my problem has to do with my microphone not working properly. I have had members dial me, I answer the phone, but no one can here me. I guess it's time for a new microphone.

OK, now I am at home on my high speed connection. I tried it with no changes to the router and it says "Discovered blocked firewall". Ok, figures. I opened up that range of ports (5004, 5060-65534) and it still says "discovered blocked firewall". What the hell. I don't have the windows firewall or any other firewalls in place.
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2004 4:30 pm

Mine says "Discovered Restricted Firewall" behind my school's firewall - but when I dial, it does nothing, just like it was doing for Matt. Do I have any chance of getting this working behind my "restricted" firewall...?
OK - I know the firewall shouldn't affect anything - I can make and get calls on FreeWorldDialup (my # is 18875) using X-Lite just fine - but I'm not registering on the BAT-PHONE network :-\
