Codec issue - Out of G.729 Encoder Licenses

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I have an asterisk server with no more than 4 extensions.
The server was working ok, but now everytime i try to call i don;t hear anything. In the log i see an error.

the last line repeats 90 times.

I have 2 g729 licenses, I restart the server and perform a show g729 and i see this.
0/0 encoders/decoders of 2 licensed channels are currently in use
but after i make one call then i see this
2/0 encoders/decoders of 2 licensed channels are currently in use

What can be the problem with the codec?

2

I have the same problem with 5 licences!

3

If you found something let me know, I switch the PBX from asterisk to a Nortel BCM because of this issue. Looks like asterisk is not ready for a business production site

4

In my case I have 4 license. I have TDM with 3 FXO and 1 FXS and 1 XTENPRO with ULAW only codec. I disable the 2 FXO. So, I wont have problem with license count. I tried to call from my XTENPRO to a Cisco gateway with G729 codec and its working. When “show g729” I have 1/1 encoder/decoder count. But when call originates from either the FXS and FXO it shoots to 4/1 encoder/decoder count. Hence, resulting to 1 way audio communication.

I’ve been using the latest Trixbox version in this case. Which modules is messing with the license count?

5

Looks like this still a mistery. I have write in every forum but no answare. Digium oviously have no clue on this issue. I think this is a problem with the codec translator. My problem is when calls are originated from a non g729 device to a g729 trunk.

6

Would you care to let us know what version of asterisk?

FWIW, it will take two licenses per phone call. One license will be used to communicate between you and asterisk and the other license will be used to communicate between asterisk and the other person.

asterisk1*CLI> show version
Asterisk 1.2.9.1 svn rev 34876 built by root @ localhost.localdomain on a i686 running Linux on 2006-07-25 16:35:44 UTC

Hi, this is really making me scary. in couple of weeks i am moving my asterisk to production.

i will watch this thread if you guys find any solution for this problem.

thanks

How many license did I need in this scenario :

Polycom → Ulaw → * —> G729 —> SIP Provider

Do I need 1 license by channels or 1 license by calls ?

How many license did I need in this scenario :

Polycom → Ulaw → * —> G729 —> SIP Provider

Do I need 1 license by channels or 1 license by calls ?[/quote]

The way I understand it is that you would need 1 license in this scenario. However, if you were to receive another call from your provider, or try to place another call, you would need additional licenses.

Right now, unfortunately, asterisk doesn’t fall back to a valid codec, it just doesn’t pass audio. It would be better if, once asterisk runs out of licenses, it would fallback to either gsm or ulaw (preferably something configurable).

There was some discussion about the different scenarios and what needs a license and what doesn’t on the asterisk-users mailing list recently. You might try Googling that and see what you come up with.

11

Point clarification with my case.

XTEPRO(ULAW) → ASTERISK —> CISCO(G729) , this works
CISCO(G729) ----> ASTERISK —> XTEN(ULAW), this works

Digium TDMFXS —> ASTERISK —> CISCO(G729) , 1 way audio.
Cisco(G729) -------> ASTERISK ----> Digium TDMFXO, 1 way audio.

In my case, calls the involves the Digium always results to 1 way, license count always shoots to 4/1 thus I’m getting the Out of G.729 encoder license.

Btw, this is a test server …so there’s no other call on the server except my call, so there’s something messing with license count.

12

make one of the “failed” calls, and while it’s in progress, use “CLI > show channels” to see how many channels you have in use. it could be your dialplan that’s causing the excessive codec usage.

13

Hi all,

I considered checking the dialplan to see what is going. Btw, as a recap. I’m running a Trixbox version 1.1.1 with Freepbx, Asterisk is 1.2.11 svn rev 40948.
I inserted several Wait(8) and do “show g729” in the CLI during the Wait(8). So what I notice is, it wont shoot to 4/1 count until the far end answer. Also, I forgot to tell you earlier that the count will change and stay at 4/0 when the call hangup.

So to convince myself that this what is going on. I configured the FXS context in such away it immediately calls the XTENPRO. See the log below,

Here’s a show channels before and during a “fatal” call (to voicemail) with a few show g729’s sprinkled in for further clarification of where we are at:

Hi all,

Just want to let you know that I start the whole thing from scratch. Using the single CD CentOS 4.3 , with Asterisk SVN-branch-1.2-r41423 , with FreePBX 2.1.1 and that same digium card. I’m please to let you know that everything is working well now. See, the log below.

Not what I want to hear :wink:

I have finally got everything else working right, I would hate to have to start from scratch to resolve this issue.

Does anyone else have any other suggestions? Perhaps I am using the wrong codec. Which one should I be using for an Athlon Slot A 850MHZ?

Hi,

I hope you find some answer. But for me, It’s enough for me to know what causes this problem and confirm it is the Trixbox. kb.digium.com/entry/30/125/ , the URL acknowledges this problem and recognize it exist mostly on Trixbox. I think, we cannot find any answer from Digium or Asterisk dev team on this matter.

19

you do know that if you’re running trixbox, you don’t need to reinstall EVERYTHING to upgrade asterisk? if you’re using trixbox correctly, any customizations are in extensions_custom.conf and other _custom.conf files, so an asterisk upgrade should not affect those. just download the latest tarball from digium, do ‘make’ and ‘make install’ and restart…

20

Okay, I did this and getting asterisk to start again was a little tricky. When I did a make install I got the following warning:

WARNING WARNING WARNING

I moved all these modules to another directory so if I do a make install again I don’t get a warning, and asterisk still wouldn’t start. So, I checked the /var/log/asterisk/full log and there was a warning saying it couldn’t find format_mp3.so. So, I moved that back over and then asterisk could finally start. I then moved the coded_g729a.so back over as well and asterisk still started fine. So, I’m wondering, is there any easy way to know which of these modules was preventing asterisk from starting other then moving them over one at a time and then restarting asterisk?

On a positive note, doing this has resolved the codec issue.
