FreePBX + SPA 3102 Problems

When you hear that anouncment I bet it's working correctly.

It's only you that gets it because you are presenting your own number
on the outgoing trunk.

Take the dog for a walk up the hill...

 

Not you as well !! - drives my wife crazy less/fewer etc etc.....I really
know better, not thinking

Dave.

 

Yeah!, got it - I think, changed 'Voip caller default DP' from 2 to None
under 'PSTN Line' that seemed to do it, Ringback now works no caller ID
displayed but it's a start !

BT is going to get really annoyed at me continually calling 17070 ringback -
but it's better than walking up the hill - no dog BTW, and it's getting very
windy hihi !!

Can you post a screenshot of your "International control" at the foot
of the PSTN Line tab?

Just came of the phone with my father (54 minutes!), it seemed to work quite
well a bit of quantization ? and a little quite but ok. Incidentally caller
ID displayed ok on my mobile phone running cSipsimple, but still not working
on the normal land line dect phone via the 3102 FXS port.

Here is a capture of the said PSTN Line tab

- Another school boy error, quiet not quite - roll eyes !

 

Much the same as I have, but you might want to try "detect polarity
reversal"=yes if incoming if the SPA does not release the line in a
timely manner after an incoming call.

Play around with the two gain settings till you get a nice balance,
mine are set at 0 & 6, I think you can go negative if you want.

In the regional tab under distinctive ring patterns I have changed
Ring1 Cadence to a British
60(.4/.2,.4/2)
Not only does it sound more familiar, it also helps a little in
reducing the delay before the extension starts to ring, or so it
seemed to me.


I have made various notes about other matters that you may or may not
have already addressed.

eg. How to enter an SMTP server address so Freepbx can email you your
voicemail.

Various file locations so you can do some manual housekeeping, I have
to keep an eye on the call recordings because they could fill my 4GB
card if I'm not careful.

There's a patch you need to do if you want to upload large files as
system recordings for announcements and music on hold.


Just ask if you need help with any of that.

 

I have made most of the changes you've suggested. File locations would be
helpful, I've found the recording but would be nice as you say for some
'housekeeping', clear CDR records etc I have a 8GB card and it's saying 48%
full.

The biggest problem I have is no caller ID on the phone, it shows ok in the
CDR records but not the phone. I've tried loads of different configurations
still no go. The phone is a French dect phone but it has worked fine with BT
for many years (I assume the CID firmware would detect / work everywhere)

Everything else seems to work thus far. One thing I did notice is my fathers
CID displays in the CDR as 01234-567 8901 (number changed!) with the
hyphen and space ? this makes it difficult to put into an inbound route ?.
BT's 17070 ringback number shows the normal 080012345678 with no spaces or
hyphen.

Just sorted the caller ID set Caller Id method to DTMF(Finland,Sweden) and
Caller ID FSK Standard method to Bell 202 and it worked ! - Very strange.

All I need to sort now is the CID format ....

France uses a different method to pass the CLID than the UK.
Most of the European countries do.

http://www.ainslie.org.uk/callerid/cli_faq.htm

This might help:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/csbpvga/ata/administration/guide/ATA_AG_v3_NC-WEB.pdf

Look at page 154 for a start.

Basically you need the SPA3102 to translate the CLID it received from
your BT line into the ETSI CallerID for your french phone.

 

Many Thanks for the very useful links, What I don't understand is the phone
works fine on the BT line ? also I think the phone, a Alcatel which is
marketed here by BT under there branding.
What it might be is the volume is very loud for the dial tone and that being
high may distort the FSK CID burst after the first ring when it's set to
ETSI with PR (UK) - just a hunch.

France uses a different set of parameters for the line (impedance and
capacity) too. Have a dig in that PDF and try tweaking that, and then
the gains.

You only need to work on the FXS side (User 1), don't touch anything on
the FXO (Line 1): if the PBX receives a CLID from the SPA3102 that bit
is OK.

 

Ah ok, all I 'fiddled' with is the Regional tab, at the bottom under
Miscellaneous .

If you say the tones are loud the line impedance is very likely wrong
for the phone you're using.
You're not making it easy for yourself tho...

 

I know, it's not easy - change - try - change back again !. The PDF has been
very helpful though !

I've reduced the dial tone from the Regional Tab under Call Progress Tones -
Dial tone then the -19db reduced to -22db and it's better.

Next problem, there is no date+time on the caller ID display on the dect
phone - as I had with BT, should there be ?

 

Incidentally the cards I am using are only 4GB and cost £2.73 from
Ebay.
They are fast cards, in fact they are not SDHC as recommended, just SD
but they perform very well in this application.

According to the notes I made you can clear all the CDR data by SSH
into the root prompt, then:
mysql -p
Enter root password again (raspberry)
use asteriskcdrdb
DELETE FROM cdr
exit

If you want to remove call recordings, I find it convenient to remove
entire directories, as the structure is year/month/day

So, for example, if you wanted to remove all today's recordings you
could issue:

rm -r /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/2013/10/28

Likewise you could delete an entire month, or even year. The directory
structure appears to be self-healing when next written to.

As I mentioned you can only upload relatively short audio clips for
announcements and MOH until you change some defaults.


nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

It's a big file, use the search facility in nano to find & change:

upload_max_filesize = 20M (was 2M)
and also

post_max_size = 20M (was 8M)
After this you need to restart Apache:

service apache2 restart

I'm not sure, does the French standard delivers the time/date with the
CLID info?

You said your phone was showing CLID OK before, when directly connected
to the PSTN, so why not try to deliver the CLID using the BT standard?

BTW, is your PSTN line with BT or on another provider? Cable uses a
different (again) standard, verify.

To answer all these questions, look at the first link I've sent you and
dig deeper looking at the links referenced there.

I've long given up on PSTN, so my memory on all this is a bit hazy.

 

Yes, when we had the phone in France it displayed date & time + CID ok.
Also the same here on the BT PSTN line CID + date & time all ok. When I set
the 3102 to the UK standard it doesn't work - weird.

I'll look into the links some more , I'm getting there slowly ! - thanks
mainly to all the help from here..

All worked ok CDR erased etc. Any ideas how to swap around CallerID name and
number ?. I've got callerID working (with date & time!) BUT the trunk name
is displayed first. On a single line display this is not very useful, It's
being sent but I can only see it after the call (pressing ID and then OK on
the phone twice). I set Bellcore under the regional tab incidentally, the
phone blankly refuses to work on the UK setting.

At Last ! - just got callerID to work with the UK setting phew,, I lowered
the ring voltage from 85 to 70 and it worked - yeah.

I still have the problem of displaying trunk name first though :-/
