Outgoing fax issue.
by Grant Iler 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi, We have a freeswitch setup with an Sangoma A200 plus 1 remora card setup. The cards have 6 FXO ports that go to 5 POTS lines and 2 FXS ports. Our fax machine is plugged into the first FXS port (freetdm 1:1). Incoming faxes work fine but outgoing faxes do not. The fax line is the 3rd Pots line (freetdm 2:3). The incoming faxes are bridged with this in the 00_inbound_did.xml: <!- LINE3 328-6982-> < !- Always directed to the fax machine -> < extension name=”Line 3(6982)” continue=”true”> < condition field=”source” expression=”mod_freetdm”/> < condition field=”${channel_name}” expression=”^(FreeTDM/2:3/)$”> < action application=”set” data=”domain_name=$${domain}”/> < action application=”set” data=”transfer_ringback=$${us-ring}”/> < action application=”bridge” data=”freetdm/2/3|freetdm/1/1″/> < /condition> < /extension> < !- LINE3 DONE-> Outgoing faxes are bridged with this in the dialplan/default.xml: <extension name=”bridge-FXS-to-FXO” continue=”true”> < condition field=”destination_number” expression=”^7(.+)$”/> < condition field=”channel_name” expression=”FreeTDM/1:1/”> < action application=”bridge” data=” freetdm/1/1/${destination_number}|freetdm/2/3/${destination_number}”/> </condition> < /extension> What I figured out from the logs and research on the wikis is that when faxes are sent out, the freeswitch server does not get the entire number through DTMF and the call fails. Here is a portion of the logs from the last outgoing fax that worked: 2013-04-04 11:18:23.494287 [DEBUG] ftmod_analog.c:830 [s1c1][1:7] Changed state from DIALTONE to COLLECT 2013-04-04 11:18:23.494287 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2318 got FXS sig [COLLECTED_DIGIT] 2013-04-04 11:18:23.494287 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2488 got DTMF sig [7] 2013-04-04 11:18:23.514287 [DEBUG] ftmod_analog.c:640 [s1c1][1:7] Completed state change from DIALTONE to COLLECT in 20 ms 2013-04-04 11:18:23.514287 [DEBUG] ftmod_analog.c:646 [s1c1][1:7] Executing state handler on 1:1 for COLLECT 2013-04-04 11:18:24.074292 [DEBUG] ftdm_io.c:3783 [s1c1][1:7] Queuing DTMF 1 (debug = 0) 2013-04-04 11:18:24.074292 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2318 got FXS sig [COLLECTED_DIGIT] 2013-04-04 11:18:24.074292 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2488 got DTMF sig [71] 2013-04-04 11:18:25.113819 [DEBUG] ftdm_io.c:3783 [s1c1][1:7] Queuing DTMF 7 (debug = 0) 2013-04-04 11:18:25.113819 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2318 got FXS sig [COLLECTED_DIGIT] 2013-04-04 11:18:25.113819 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2488 got DTMF sig [717] 2013-04-04 11:18:25.554309 [DEBUG] ftdm_io.c:3783 [s1c1][1:7] Queuing DTMF 5 (debug = 0) 2013-04-04 11:18:25.554309 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2318 got FXS sig [COLLECTED_DIGIT] 2013-04-04 11:18:25.554309 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2488 got DTMF sig [7175] 2013-04-04 11:18:26.134309 [DEBUG] ftdm_io.c:3783 [s1c1][1:7] Queuing DTMF 7 (debug = 0) 2013-04-04 11:18:26.134309 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2318 got FXS sig [COLLECTED_DIGIT] 2013-04-04 11:18:26.134309 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2488 got DTMF sig [71757] 2013-04-04 11:18:26.634314 [DEBUG] ftdm_io.c:3783 [s1c1][1:7] Queuing DTMF 2 (debug = 0) 2013-04-04 11:18:26.634314 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2318 got FXS sig [COLLECTED_DIGIT] 2013-04-04 11:18:26.634314 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2488 got DTMF sig [717572] 2013-04-04 11:18:26.834315 [DEBUG] ftdm_io.c:3783 [s1c1][1:7] Queuing DTMF 2 (debug = 0) 2013-04-04 11:18:26.834315 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2318 got FXS sig [COLLECTED_DIGIT] 2013-04-04 11:18:26.834315 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2488 got DTMF sig [7175722] 2013-04-04 11:18:27.614322 [DEBUG] ftdm_io.c:3783 [s1c1][1:7] Queuing DTMF 9 (debug = 0) 2013-04-04 11:18:27.614322 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2318 got FXS sig [COLLECTED_DIGIT] 2013-04-04 11:18:27.614322 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2488 got DTMF sig [71757229] 2013-04-04 11:18:28.373722 [DEBUG] ftdm_io.c:3783 [s1c1][1:7] Queuing DTMF 0 (debug = 0) 2013-04-04 11:18:28.373722 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2318 got FXS sig [COLLECTED_DIGIT] 2013-04-04 11:18:28.373722 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2488 got DTMF sig [717572290] 2013-04-04 11:18:28.894333 [DEBUG] ftdm_io.c:3783 [s1c1][1:7] Queuing DTMF 6 (debug = 0) 2013-04-04 11:18:28.894333 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2318 got FXS sig [COLLECTED_DIGIT] 2013-04-04 11:18:28.894333 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2488 got DTMF sig [7175722906] 2013-04-04 11:18:29.714340 [DEBUG] ftdm_io.c:3783 [s1c1][1:7] Queuing DTMF 3 (debug = 0) 2013-04-04 11:18:29.714340 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2318 got FXS sig [COLLECTED_DIGIT] 2013-04-04 11:18:29.714340 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2488 got DTMF sig [71757229063] 2013-04-04 11:18:30.094343 [DEBUG] ftdm_io.c:3783 [s1c1][1:7] Queuing DTMF 4 (debug = 0) 2013-04-04 11:18:30.094343 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2318 got FXS sig [COLLECTED_DIGIT] 2013-04-04 11:18:30.094343 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2488 got DTMF sig [717572290634] 2013-04-04 11:18:32.114360 [DEBUG] ftmod_analog.c:851 [s1c1][1:7] Number obtained [717572290634] 2013-04-04 11:18:32.114360 [DEBUG] ftmod_analog.c:852 [s1c1][1:7] Changed state from COLLECT to RING 2013-04-04 11:18:32.134360 [DEBUG] ftmod_analog.c:640 [s1c1][1:7] Completed state change from COLLECT to RING in 19 ms 2013-04-04 11:18:32.134360 [DEBUG] ftmod_analog.c:646 [s1c1][1:7] Executing state handler on 1:1 for RING This is what happens now: 2013-04-09 14:54:20.616457 [DEBUG] ftmod_analog.c:830 [s1c1][1:7] Changed state from DIALTONE to COLLECT 2013-04-09 14:54:20.616457 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2318 got FXS sig [COLLECTED_DIGIT] 2013-04-09 14:54:20.616457 [DEBUG] mod_freetdm.c:2488 got DTMF sig [7] 2013-04-09 14:54:20.635887 [DEBUG] ftmod_analog.c:640 [s1c1][1:7] Completed state change from DIALTONE to COLLECT in 20 ms 2013-04-09 14:54:20.635887 [DEBUG] ftmod_analog.c:646 [s1c1][1:7] Executing state handler on 1:1 for COLLECT 2013-04-09 14:54:22.636477 [DEBUG] ftmod_analog.c:851 [s1c1][1:7] Number obtained [7] 2013-04-09 14:54:22.636477 [DEBUG] ftmod_analog.c:852 [s1c1][1:7] Changed state from COLLECT to RING 2013-04-09 14:54:22.656477 [DEBUG] ftmod_analog.c:640 [s1c1][1:7] Completed state change from COLLECT to RING in 20 ms Twice the Number obtained got more than one digit but it always dropped one at least one digit so that the fax number was not correct. I tried using start_dtmf and start_dtmf_generate from the Freeswitch wiki and also looked in the mailing list for issues with dtmf and faxing but was not able to find any solutions. I tried switching the FXS port to the 2nd one and swapped out the phone line but that did not have any other results. Let me know if you need to know more about the configuration or logs. Hopefully it is something easy someone with more knowledge than me can figure out. Thanks! Grant

What unloop extension is used for? BTW: vars.xml pre-(process)-sets unroll_loops, whereas DPs (public and default) are using channel variable syntax? Is this ok? Y.

native support of postgres enable-core-pgsql-support and without-pgsql
by Yuriy Nasida 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi guys, I had idea to try the new feature of native support of postgres today but it was not so easy as I though at the beginning. After installing of postgresql on my CentSO 6.2 (simple via yum) and trying to recompile FS with --enable-core-pgsql-support. I have got many different issues in the process of compiling. All them were well-known as far as I understand but it was still not easy to understand how to fix it and to get native postgres support. FS-3384, FS-3630, FS-3384 and FS-3393. I had all this problems.http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide#Release.28es.29… more full info. For solving was suggested ./configure --without-pgsql . But.... I would like to have pgsql in core... In the end I was tried this combination :)./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freeswitch_1_2_pg --enable-core-pgsql-support --without-pgsql So with core-pgsql and without pgsql simultaneously. It looks strange but it works. Hope it will help somebody else. I have one more question. Can I add postgres native support for registrations only ? Like I can have this by means of adding of dbc-dsn parameter to internal.xml only ? P.S. Very nice increase speed with native postgree . -- YN

Metaswitch perimeta SBC - any thoughts?
by Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd] 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hello all, Does anyone here have any first hand experience using the Metaswitch perimeta SBC with FreeSWITCH? http://www.metaswitch.com/products/perimeta-session-border-controller I know this isn't strictly on-topic, but I find the people on this list are usually best placed to give useful feedback on related products. At the moment we're weighing up the pros/cons of using our own in-house SBC, F5 LTM, Stingray TM, OpenSER, or buying a purpose made SBC such as the Perimeta. Any thoughts? Cal (Mods: if you aren't happy with this being discussed on the list, just let me know).

Sound Not Ok(Choppy Sound) After 250 Ports
by Subhash 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi, I ran the load test, raising the port count slowly (every 5 to 10 minutes or so) to 100, 150, 200, 250, 275 and 300 ports. There were no audio problems until I reached 275 ports. After probably 10 minutes at 275 ports, audio problems started, and after that they were consistent. Of course I can’t guarantee that there were no audio problems at lower port counts - if the problem only occurred intermittently I might not have caught it or I might not have waited long enough. Once the audio problems started, I slowly lowered the number of ports back to 250 ports. The audio problems disappeared after about 2 1/2 minutes at 250 ports. I then increased the number of ports back to 275 ports. Thanks, Subhash
