mod_radius_cdr questions and thoughts
by Apostolos Pantsiopoulos 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

I am trying to implement a radius based solution using FS. I have seen that the mod_radius_cdr module is actively maintained. so I have a few questions/remarks : 1) When I place a call and my radius server is down, the call blocks forever instead of just radius_timeout * radius_retries seconds (I have declared only one server). I would expect that FS would stop trying to send an Acc Start packet after some time and get on with the call. 2) I have also noticed that FS sends only 1 packet (I waited for a minute) instead of 3 (default in the config) since the first (and second) attempt failed. If my server was up (the port was responding) but it returned a req. failed answer would the above time-out be valid? 3) When I tried to load the dictionary.freeswitch to my freeradius server, it complained : "Errors reading dictionary: dict_init: /usr/local/etc/raddb/dictionary.freeswitch[33]: dict_addattr: Duplicate attribute name NAS-Port-Id" How can I overcome this? When I "instructed" my freeradius to only load the freesitch dictionary I got this : "Errors reading dictionary: dict_init: /usr/local/etc/raddb/dictionary.freeswitch[257]: unknown option "Freeswitch"" How can I use the dictionary with the freeradius? (or other radius servers?) 4) The radius attributes included in the current requests are a) hard-coded, b) limited in number. I think many of us would like to use more attributes. Or even better define what to include (and what to put in them) using a config file (the same maybe?) 5) Does the module send accounting packets only for the a-leg of a call or for both legs? (Maybe that could be configurable too). If anyone is interested in the above questions/remarks please post a reply. I would really like to know how many of the mailing list users are also interested in FS radius support and your opinions on the matter.

FreeSWITCHers, I have started to put alternate config examples up for people to check out. Right now it only has the Softphone example... if you have ideas or examples to add to this please let me know: http://svn.freeswitch.org/svn/configs/softphone/ Thanks, Brian West FreeSWITCH.org

Re: [Freeswitch-users] Recording ULAW files
by freeswitch-users＠digitaldan.com 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm new to this project so I'm not familiar with the inner workings just yet but at looking at mod_native_file.c it seems this is a thin wrapper around the switch's own file input and output routines? Would it be best to change this class or register a new file type, like .ul? If so, where would be a good starting point. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony Minessale" <anthony.minessale(a)gmail.com> To: freeswitch-users(a)lists.freeswitch.org Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 10:56:45 AM GMT -07:00 US/Canada Mountain Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Recording ULAW files no, there is currently no way to do that. It would be feasible to add an option to mod_native_file to write wav headers around the raw data but it has not been attempted.

It appears that the recorded file is just raw data without a header. Is there any way to save this as a wav type with a header (keeping the ulaw format)? for example, running the unix command 'file' on the recording prints: /tmp/185065_f7bb8e0c-e641-11dd-800d-5ffe41c540dd.PCMU: data if I run it through sox which just outputs the same data (ulaw,8000,mono) but specifying the type as wav /usr/bin/sox -t .ul -r 8000 -c 1 -b -U file.pcmu -t wav -r 8000 -c 1 -b -U file.wav it produces a file that shows: /tmp/185065_f7bb8e0c-e641-11dd-800d-5ffe41c540dd.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, ITU G.711 mu-law, mono 8000 Hz if I try and save it within freeswitch using the wav extension, it trans-codes it to a pcm format RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 8000 Hz Is there any way to have freeswitch record the file as ulaw with the RIFF wav header?

Error: eval_some_python() Error importing module
by Brian Deacon 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Greetings, Couldn't find anything on the wiki or in the mail archives. (Let me know where you think a good home for this info might be on the wiki and I'd be more than happy to write something up in there.) I'm guessing I haven't done everything necessary to enable python on my machine. I have python-2.4.3 and python-devel 2.4.3-21 installed on the FS machine. Per the instructions, I uncommented the mod_python line from modules.conf and rebuilt my freeswitch instance. Vanilla functionality is working. I set PYTHONPATH to /usr/local/freeswitch/python before restarting the mod_python-enabled freeswitch (via modules.conf.xml) # echo $PYTHONPATH /usr/local/freeswitch/python # grep mod_python \ > /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml <load module="mod_python"/> # ls $PYTHONPATH bar.py bar.pyc # cat $PYTHONPATH/bar.py stream.write("baz") The relevant entry in conf/dialplan/default.xml: <extension name="Test_Simple_Python"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^1235$"> <action application="set" data="foo=${python(bar)}" /> <action application="bridge" data="{group_confirm_file=vm-hello,group_confirm_key=4,call_timeout=60} sofia/internal/1000,sofia/internal/1002" /> </condition> </extension> (The bridge action is only there because it seemed unhappy unless it was going to actually try to do something.) The following output shows up in fs_cli when I dial 1235: > 2009-01-21 15:20:14 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:152 switch_core_standard_on_execute() sofia/internal/1000(a)10.48.5.207 Execute set(foo=${python(bar)}) > 2009-01-21 15:20:14 [NOTICE] mod_python.c:107 eval_some_python() Invoking py module: bar > 2009-01-21 15:20:14 [ERR] mod_python.c:121 eval_some_python() Error importing module > 2009-01-21 15:20:14 [DEBUG] switch_core_session.c:1254 switch_core_session_execute_application() sofia/internal/1000(a)10.48.5.207 Expanded String set(foo=) > 2009-01-21 15:20:14 [DEBUG] mod_dptools.c:699 set_function() sofia/internal/1000(a)10.48.5.207 SET [foo]=[UNDEF] So I'm guessing something dumb on my part. But there are so many dumb things I'm capable of doing... :) TIA, Brian

Dialplan Question: Is extension local?

22 Jan '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, is there a dialan or dptool function, which allows to check whether a user/extension is local or not ? What I try to do is this: Local extension? -> bridge -> bridge fails (on_busy, no answere, timeout, offline)->voicemail Every other call should go to PSTN. But unfortunately calls which should go to PSTN goes to voicemail ...

I noticed the wiki has an example of sending a custom event from javascript: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Javascript_Event , but I can't make it work. It doesn't fail or cause an error.

sample code of how to use the C level API instead of dialplan
by Dave 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Just like to know whether there is any kind of document available for FS integration at its C level, not at its dialplan level. The reason I ask this is that some of the local process simply impossible to be integrated with the Dialplan, but should not be that hard if the C level API is available. Any URL or suggestion is welcome. Thanks. ___________________________________________________________ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.
