Google Voice using Asterisk

December 5, 2011 at 11:17 am (General)

You will need a Google voice account to do this. You can get one for free by having a normal Google account, and visiting the Google Voice page.

The top most portion of this page: http://pbxinaflash.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10825 will help you setup the Google Voice portion on the Google side. Once you see the screen shots on that page, you can then use this configuration, or read up if you have their software to continue.

Just my working configuration files for using a google voice number on your asterisk server.

gtalk.conf

externip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
;stunaddr=mystunserver.com
allowguest=yes

connection=asterisk
context=googlein

jabber.conf

usetls=yes
usesasl=yes
;buddy=[email protected]
;distribute_events=yes

Add following block to extensions_custom.conf

[googlein]
exten => _[0-9a-z].,1,Noop(Incoming Google Voice call for ${EXTEN})
exten => _[0-9a-z].,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${CUT(CALLERID(name),@,1)})

exten => _X.,1,Dial(Gtalk/username/+${EXTEN}@voice.google.com)
exten => _X.,n,Noop(GVoice Call to ${EXTEN} failed)
exten => h,1,Macro(hangupcall,)

Custom Trunk Configuration:
Trunk Name: GVoice-trunkname
Outbound Callerid: “Name”
Custom Dial String: local/$OUTNUM$@gvoice-trunkname

Outbound Route Configuration:
Use the GVoice trunk.

Incoming Routes DID will be:

I started using a 120GB SSD myself recently on my desktop. Running ArchLinux.

Just a few sites to help out anyone doing the same.

Playing RIFT on WINE Crashing Problems

November 4, 2011 at 12:23 pm (General)

A few patches ago, Rift started becoming very unstable for me while playing in Wine. My current setup, as the post two below this one states, I’m in Archlinux have Wine setup latest version, and I use the Direct3D registry tweaks. I have an Nvidia card as well, and the graphics are setup just fine.

About thirty minutes to an hour playing, random crash. Wine gives no informative information, even running winedbg on the rift.exe process.

I recently found a post on the winehq forums, for RIFT that experienced the same problem, and last night testing found that adding another option to the Direct3D registry tree did indeed fix the problem.

Adding a new string value “StrictDrawOrdering” without quotes and set it to “enabled” again without quotes.

This did slow down my game some, so, I went on to play again with settings and found that I get a very noticeable increase not only in graphics quality and how high I can set them without graphic related slow downs, but also how fast the system was able to load the textures, players, spells around me by using the latest (beta at the time of this writing) nvidia drivers from the ArchLinux AUR.

The links to packages that I used are:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nv/nvidia-beta/nvidia-beta.tar.gz
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nv/nvidia-utils-beta/nvidia-utils-beta.tar.gz
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/li/lib32-nvidia-utils-beta/lib32-nvidia-utils-beta.tar.gz

Avaya (Nortel) 1120E IP Phone with Asterisk

October 21, 2011 at 2:34 am (How To)

I got a hold of some Nortel IP phones at work and was doing some reaserch on how to connect them to an Asterisk server. At first I was using them with the UNIStim protocol support in Asterisk, but instead found out that you can download SIP firmware versions for most Nortel and Avaya phones directly from Avaya since they purchased Nortel.

You can get the SIP 4.x firmware here, or browse the other firmwares as well. You do not need a username and password to download them.

This site can help as well, to get you updated to a SIP firmware from UNIStim firmware and how to configure your TFTP settings.

I needed some more configuration settings in my TFTP DeviceConfig file so this is what I ended up using.
