Digium upgrade to your PBX without Notice you? WTF?

Asterisk Asterisk General

Hello. I was thinking in something…
“Digium make upgrade to your installed PBX without notice you?”

I think that because, the last year (2010) me PBX was working fine, the FXS port was working perfectly, now in the (2011)
It is NOT working, you can see everyone is posting on internet about this situacion where you can get tone via your FXS port.(Search in google an will see…)

So, if me FXS port was working fine and I and anyone has modified the PBX configuration, How did it??
I that the asterisk sources have inside an script that make changes to our PBX without our permission, in that way they are making more money selling support.
You can see yourself here in a post i wrote today, HAHA and look the answer the staff give it to me :smiley:

Yeah!! Nice way to stole money to PBX’s installators. :@

I doubt that Digium magically accessed your server and broke it. Can you think of a good reason for them to do that?

If you ask me, I would first check with your PSTN provider, perhaps there is something wrong with the hardware card in your server. Usually there is no conspiracy schemes in telphony - just working/broke hardware and software … :smile:

The answer the staff, me, gave you was to contact our Support department (digium.com/support).

Getting in touch directly with the people that support our products for a living seems like the best course of action.

Hi

"I that the asterisk sources have inside an script that make changes to our PBX without our permission, "

If it made changes (which i doubt) you will be able to look at the dates of the files and see when they were modified.

What you describe in the link sounds like a faulty card / or cabling or handset.

What card is this and what does dahdi_tool have to say.

It sounds like you have a fault and yes they do happen without warning , componants on cards fail, wiring gets damaged etc

I have a TDM400P with 3 FXO and 1 FXS.

The FXS port is the channel 4, and when i try to dial the FXS channel, it sounds a little bit and then is answered itself like if i have the handset in me hands.

If i dial one of the FXO channels *Channel 1,Channel 2, Channel 3 i get tone.
For example, if i run this

exten=>20,1,Dial(Dahdi/1) --> The channel 1 is a FXO interface.
i get the PSTN line tone.

But if i make this
exten=>20,1,Dial(Dahdi/1) -->The channel 4 is a FXS interface
The analog phone attached to that interface just ring in the half, i mean 1/2 ring tone and then is answered by itself…
How to fix that?

The fxs port is configured in the context analog

and in the context i have this

[analog]
exten=>_2XX,1,Answer()
exten=>_2XX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})

How to fix???

When i put take the handset, the asterisk CLI output is

dahdiCLI>
– Starting simple switch on ‘DAHDI/4-1’
– Hanging up on ‘DAHDI/4-1’
– Hungup 'DAHDI/4-1’
dahdiCLI>

That’s when i have the FAX attached to the FXS port, if i have an analog phone attached to that port, anything sounds, and anything is in the asterisk output

Is like if anything is detected.

The Fax write an ouput but the analog phone, not! ???

Please, post a config or something… i want to make this fax work via the FXS port.

Hi
Something is getting lost in translation

anything = nothing
or
anything = everthing

you cant use “anything” in the sentences you have and expect it to make sense

Others cards are working fine, but this FXS port is not working… Not get tone…
When i dial the FXS interface it just ring in a half. (1/2 tone)

If i connect the FAX to the FXS port and i pickup the handset, the asterisk detect it but i can’t get tone.
If i connect a normal analog phone to the FXS port, and i pickup the handset, the asterisk do not detect it.

Have you rebooted the server? I had issues with my TDM card once after a long time, I had to change PCI slots in the server…not Digium’s fault at all. Have you run updates on the linux distro you are running asterisk on? I am not sure why you have the context
[analog]
exten=>_2XX,1,Answer()
exten=>_2XX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})

is that so the analog phone can only dial internal extensions?
