MWI Not working Trunk

I’ve got a situation where MWI is not working properly. The MWI messages are sent out only when a SIP phone initially subscribes upon startup or re-subscribes after a given period of time. In between no MWI updates are sent when voicemails are added/removed from a mailbox.

I’ve read that there has been a major re-write of the MWI mechanism in the trunk. To comply, I’ve also added the following entries in my voicemail.conf but still it does not work properly.

pollmailboxes=yes
pollfreq=5

I’m using the lastest version in trunk. I am also using version 1.5.15 of Eyebeam

Any one know what is going on?

/w

I forgot to add this. MWI was working properly for me before the changes were made to the MWI mechanism.

Hi

And your sip.conf looks like?

or are we meant to guess

===========================================
;
; SIP Configuration example for Asterisk
;
; Syntax for specifying a SIP device in extensions.conf is
; SIP/devicename where devicename is defined in a section below.
;
; You may also use
; SIP/username@domain to call any SIP user on the Internet
; (Don’t forget to enable DNS SRV records if you want to use this)
;
; If you define a SIP proxy as a peer below, you may call
; SIP/proxyhostname/user or SIP/user@proxyhostname
; where the proxyhostname is defined in a section below
;
; Useful CLI commands to check peers/users:
; sip list peers Show all SIP peers (including friends)
; sip list users Show all SIP users (including friends)
; sip list registry Show status of hosts we register with
;
; sip debug Show all SIP messages
;
; sip reload Reload configuration file
; Active SIP peers will not be reconfigured
;

;disallow=all ; First disallow all codecs
;allow=ulaw ; Allow codecs in order of preference
;allow=ilbc ; see doc/rtp-packetization for framing options
;
; This option specifies a preference for which music on hold class this channel

;
; This option may be specified globally, or on a per-user or per-peer basis.
;
;mohinterpret=default
;
; This option specifies which music on hold class to suggest to the peer channel
; when this channel places the peer on hold. It may be specified globally or on
; a per-user or per-peer basis.

;useragent=Asterisk PBX ; Allows you to change the user agent string
; The default user agent string also contains the Asterisk
; version. If you don’t want to expose this, change the
; useragent string.
;promiscredir = no ; If yes, allows 302 or REDIR to non-local SIP address
; Note that promiscredir when redirects are made to the
; local system will cause loops since Asterisk is incapable
; of performing a “hairpin” call.
;usereqphone = no ; If yes, “;user=phone” is added to uri that contains
; a valid phone number
;dtmfmode = rfc2833 ; Set default dtmfmode for sending DTMF. Default: rfc2833
; Other options:
; info : SIP INFO messages
; inband : Inband audio (requires 64 kbit codec -alaw, ulaw)
; auto : Use rfc2833 if offered, inband otherwise

;compactheaders = yes ; send compact sip headers.
;
;videosupport=yes ; Turn on support for SIP video. You need to turn this on
; in the this section to get any video support at all.
; You can turn it off on a per peer basis if the general
; video support is enabled, but you can’t enable it for
; one peer only without enabling in the general section.
;maxcallbitrate=384 ; Maximum bitrate for video calls (default 384 kb/s)
; Videosupport and maxcallbitrate is settable
; for peers and users as well
;callevents=no ; generate manager events when sip ua
; performs events (e.g. hold)
;limitonpeers=no ; Apply all call limits (“limit=”) only to peers, never
; to users. This improves handling of call limits
; and device states in certain situations. The user part
; of a type=friend will still be affected by the call
; limit, but Asterisk will only use one object for
; counting the simultaneous calls.
;alwaysauthreject = yes ; When an incoming INVITE or REGISTER is to be rejected,
; for any reason, always reject with ‘401 Unauthorized’
; instead of letting the requester know whether there was
; a matching user or peer for their request

;g726nonstandard = yes ; If the peer negotiates G726-32 audio, use AAL2 packing
; order instead of RFC3551 packing order (this is required
; for Sipura and Grandstream ATAs, among others). This is
; contrary to the RFC3551 specification, the peer should
; be negotiating AAL2-G726-32 instead :frowning:

;outboundproxy=proxy.provider.domain ; send outbound signaling to this proxy, not directly to the devices
;outboundproxy=proxy.provider.domain:8080 ; send outbound signaling to this proxy, not directly to the devices
;outboundproxy=proxy.provider.domain,force ; Send ALL outbound signalling to proxy, ignoring route: headers

;
; If regcontext is specified, Asterisk will dynamically create and destroy a
; NoOp priority 1 extension for a given peer who registers or unregisters with
; us and have a “regexten=” configuration item.
; Multiple contexts may be specified by separating them with ‘&’. The
; actual extension is the ‘regexten’ parameter of the registering peer or its
; name if ‘regexten’ is not provided. If more than one context is provided,
; the context must be specified within regexten by appending the desired
; context after ‘@’. More than one regexten may be supplied if they are
; separated by ‘&’. Patterns may be used in regexten.
;
;regcontext=subscriptions
;
;--------------------------- RTP timers ----------------------------------------------------
; These timers are currently used for both audio and video streams. The RTP timeouts
; are only applied to the audio channel.
; The settings are settable in the global section as well as per device
;
;rtptimeout=60 ; Terminate call if 60 seconds of no RTP or RTCP activity
; on the audio channel
; when we’re not on hold. This is to be able to hangup
; a call in the case of a phone disappearing from the net,
; like a powerloss or grandma tripping over a cable.
;rtpholdtimeout=300 ; Terminate call if 300 seconds of no RTP or RTCP activity
; on the audio channel
; when we’re on hold (must be > rtptimeout)
;rtpkeepalive= ; Send keepalives in the RTP stream to keep NAT open
; (default is off - zero)
;--------------------------- SIP DEBUGGING ---------------------------------------------------
;sipdebug = yes ; Turn on SIP debugging by default, from
; the moment the channel loads this configuration
;recordhistory=yes ; Record SIP history by default
; (see sip history / sip no history)
;dumphistory=yes ; Dump SIP history at end of SIP dialogue
; SIP history is output to the DEBUG logging channel

;--------------------------- STATUS NOTIFICATIONS (SUBSCRIPTIONS) ----------------------------
; You can subscribe to the status of extensions with a “hint” priority
; (See extensions.conf.sample for examples)
; chan_sip support two major formats for notifications: dialog-info and SIMPLE
;
; You will get more detailed reports (busy etc) if you have a call limit set
; for a device. When the call limit is filled, we will indicate busy. Note that
; you need at least 2 in order to be able to do attended transfers.
;
; If you set the busy-level in addition to the call limit, we will indicate busy
; when we have a number of calls that matches busy-level, but still allow calls
; up to the call-limit. This allows for transfers while still having blinking
; lamps and queues understanding that a device is busy.
;
; For queues, you will need this level of detail in status reporting, regardless
; if you use SIP subscriptions. Queues and manager use the same internal interface
; for reading status information.
;
; Note: Subscriptions does not work if you have a realtime dialplan and use the
; realtime switch.
;
;allowsubscribe=no ; Disable support for subscriptions. (Default is yes)
;subscribecontext = default ; Set a specific context for SUBSCRIBE requests
; Useful to limit subscriptions to local extensions
; Settable per peer/user also
;###### xxxxxxx.org ######
notifyringing = yes ; Notify subscriptions on RINGING state (default: no)
notifyhold = yes ; Notify subscriptions on HOLD state (default: no)
; Turning on notifyringing and notifyhold will add a lot
; more database transactions if you are using realtime.
;###### xxxxxxx.org ######
;limitonpeer = yes ; Apply call limits on peers only. This will improve
; status notification when you are using type=friend
; Inbound calls, that really apply to the user part
; of a friend will now be added to and compared with
; the peer limit instead of applying two call limits,
; one for the peer and one for the user.

;----------------------------------------- T.38 FAX PASSTHROUGH SUPPORT -----------------------
;
; This setting is available in the [general] section as well as in device configurations.
; Setting this to yes, enables T.38 fax (UDPTL) passthrough on SIP to SIP calls, provided
; both parties have T38 support enabled in their Asterisk configuration
; This has to be enabled in the general section for all devices to work. You can then
; disable it on a per device basis.
;
; T.38 faxing only works in SIP to SIP calls, with no local or agent channel being used.
;
; t38pt_udptl = yes ; Default false
;
;----------------------------------------- OUTBOUND SIP REGISTRATIONS ------------------------
; Asterisk can register as a SIP user agent to a SIP proxy (provider)
; Format for the register statement is:
; register => user[:secret[]]@host[:port][/extension]
;
; If no extension is given, the ‘s’ extension is used. The extension needs to
; be defined in extensions.conf to be able to accept calls from this SIP proxy
; (provider).
;
; host is either a host name defined in DNS or the name of a section defined
; below.
;
; A similar effect can be achieved by adding a “callbackextension” option in a peer section.
; this is equivalent to having the following line in the general section:
;
; register => username:secret@host/callbackextension
;
; and more readable because you don’t have to write the parameters in two places
; (note that the “port” is ignored - this is a bug that should be fixed).
;
; Examples:
;
;register => 1234:password@mysipprovider.com
;
; This will pass incoming calls to the ‘s’ extension
;
;
;register => 2345:password@sip_proxy/1234
;
; Register 2345 at sip provider ‘sip_proxy’. Calls from this provider
; connect to local extension 1234 in extensions.conf, default context,
; unless you configure a [sip_proxy] section below, and configure a
; context.
; Tip 1: Avoid assigning hostname to a sip.conf section like [provider.com]
; Tip 2: Use separate type=peer and type=user sections for SIP providers
; (instead of type=friend) if you have calls in both directions

;registertimeout=20 ; retry registration calls every 20 seconds (default)
;registerattempts=10 ; Number of registration attempts before we give up
; 0 = continue forever, hammering the other server
; until it accepts the registration
; Default is 0 tries, continue forever

;----------------------------------------- NAT SUPPORT ------------------------
; The externip, externhost and localnet settings are used if you use Asterisk
; behind a NAT device to communicate with services on the outside.

;externip = 200.201.202.203 ; Address that we’re going to put in outbound SIP
; messages if we’re behind a NAT

			; The externip and localnet is used
			; when registering and communicating with other proxies
			; that we're registered with

;externhost=foo.dyndns.net ; Alternatively you can specify an
; external host, and Asterisk will
; perform DNS queries periodically. Not
; recommended for production
; environments! Use externip instead
;externrefresh=10 ; How often to refresh externhost if
; used
; You may add multiple local networks. A reasonable
; set of defaults are:
;localnet=192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0; All RFC 1918 addresses are local networks
;localnet=10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ; Also RFC1918
;localnet=172.16.0.0/12 ; Another RFC1918 with CIDR notation
;localnet=169.254.0.0/255.255.0.0 ;Zero conf local network

; The nat= setting is used when Asterisk is on a public IP, communicating with
; devices hidden behind a NAT device (broadband router). If you have one-way
; audio problems, you usually have problems with your NAT configuration or your
; firewall’s support of SIP+RTP ports. You configure Asterisk choice of RTP
; ports for incoming audio in rtp.conf
;
;nat=no ; Global NAT settings (Affects all peers and users)
; yes = Always ignore info and assume NAT
; no = Use NAT mode only according to RFC3581 (;rport)
; never = Never attempt NAT mode or RFC3581 support
; route = Assume NAT, don’t send rport
; (work around more UNIDEN bugs)
;----------------------------------- MEDIA HANDLING --------------------------------
; By default, Asterisk tries to re-invite the audio to an optimal path. If there’s
; no reason for Asterisk to stay in the media path, the media will be redirected.
; This does not really work with in the case where Asterisk is outside and have
; clients on the inside of a NAT. In that case, you want to set canreinvite=nonat
;
;###### xxxxxxx.org ######
canreinvite=no ; Asterisk by default tries to redirect the
; RTP media stream (audio) to go directly from
; the caller to the callee. Some devices do not
; support this (especially if one of them is behind a NAT).
; The default setting is YES. If you have all clients
; behind a NAT, or for some other reason wants Asterisk to
; stay in the audio path, you may want to turn this off.

			; This setting also affect direct RTP
			; at call setup (a new feature in 1.4 - setting up the
			; call directly between the endpoints instead of sending
			; a re-INVITE).

;###### xxxxxxx.org ######
;directrtpsetup=yes ; Enable the new experimental direct RTP setup. This sets up
; the call directly with media peer-2-peer without re-invites.
; Will not work for video and cases where the callee sends
; RTP payloads and fmtp headers in the 200 OK that does not match the
; callers INVITE.

;canreinvite=nonat ; An additional option is to allow media path redirection
; (reinvite) but only when the peer where the media is being
; sent is known to not be behind a NAT (as the RTP core can
; determine it based on the apparent IP address the media
; arrives from).

;canreinvite=update ; Yet a third option… use UPDATE for media path redirection,
; instead of INVITE. This can be combined with ‘nonat’, as
; ‘canreinvite=update,nonat’. It implies ‘yes’.

;----------------------------------------- REALTIME SUPPORT ------------------------
; For additional information on ARA, the Asterisk Realtime Architecture,
; please read realtime.txt and extconfig.txt in the /doc directory of the
; source code.
;
;rtcachefriends=yes ; Cache realtime friends by adding them to the internal list
; just like friends added from the config file only on a
; as-needed basis? (yes|no)

;rtsavesysname=yes ; Save systemname in realtime database at registration
; Default= no

;rtupdate=yes ; Send registry updates to database using realtime? (yes|no)
; If set to yes, when a SIP UA registers successfully, the ip address,
; the origination port, the registration period, and the username of
; the UA will be set to database via realtime.
; If not present, defaults to ‘yes’.
;rtautoclear=yes ; Auto-Expire friends created on the fly on the same schedule
; as if it had just registered? (yes|no|)
; If set to yes, when the registration expires, the friend will
; vanish from the configuration until requested again. If set
; to an integer, friends expire within this number of seconds
; instead of the registration interval.

;ignoreregexpire=yes ; Enabling this setting has two functions:
;
; For non-realtime peers, when their registration expires, the
; information will not be removed from memory or the Asterisk database
; if you attempt to place a call to the peer, the existing information
; will be used in spite of it having expired
;
; For realtime peers, when the peer is retrieved from realtime storage,
; the registration information will be used regardless of whether
; it has expired or not; if it expires while the realtime peer
; is still in memory (due to caching or other reasons), the
; information will not be removed from realtime storage

;----------------------------------------- SIP DOMAIN SUPPORT ------------------------
; Incoming INVITE and REFER messages can be matched against a list of ‘allowed’
; domains, each of which can direct the call to a specific context if desired.
; By default, all domains are accepted and sent to the default context or the
; context associated with the user/peer placing the call.
; Domains can be specified using:
; domain=[,]
; Examples:
; domain=myasterisk.dom
; domain=customer.com,customer-context
;
; In addition, all the ‘default’ domains associated with a server should be
; added if incoming request filtering is desired.
; autodomain=yes
;
; To disallow requests for domains not serviced by this server:
; allowexternaldomains=no

;domain=mydomain.tld,mydomain-incoming
; Add domain and configure incoming context
; for external calls to this domain
;###### xxxxxxx.org ######
allowexternaldomains=yes

domain=xxxxxxx.org ; Add IP address as local domain
; You can have several “domain” settings
allowexternalinvites=yes ; Disable INVITE and REFER to non-local domains
; Default is yes
autodomain=yes ; Turn this on to have Asterisk add local host
; name and local IP to domain list.
fromdomain=xxxxxxx.org
;###### xxxxxxx.org ######
;------------------------------ JITTER BUFFER CONFIGURATION --------------------------
; jbenable = yes ; Enables the use of a jitterbuffer on the receiving side of a
; SIP channel. Defaults to “no”. An enabled jitterbuffer will
; be used only if the sending side can create and the receiving
; side can not accept jitter. The SIP channel can accept jitter,
; thus a jitterbuffer on the receive SIP side will be used only
; if it is forced and enabled.

; jbforce = no ; Forces the use of a jitterbuffer on the receive side of a SIP
; channel. Defaults to “no”.

; jbmaxsize = 200 ; Max length of the jitterbuffer in milliseconds.

; jbresyncthreshold = 1000 ; Jump in the frame timestamps over which the jitterbuffer is
; resynchronized. Useful to improve the quality of the voice, with
; big jumps in/broken timestamps, usually sent from exotic devices
; and programs. Defaults to 1000.

; jbimpl = fixed ; Jitterbuffer implementation, used on the receiving side of a SIP
; channel. Two implementations are currently available - “fixed”
; (with size always equals to jbmaxsize) and “adaptive” (with
; variable size, actually the new jb of IAX2). Defaults to fixed.

; jblog = no ; Enables jitterbuffer frame logging. Defaults to “no”.
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[authentication]
; Global credentials for outbound calls, i.e. when a proxy challenges your
; Asterisk server for authentication. These credentials override
; any credentials in peer/register definition if realm is matched.
;
; This way, Asterisk can authenticate for outbound calls to other
; realms. We match realm on the proxy challenge and pick an set of
; credentials from this list
; Syntax:
; auth = :@
; auth = #@
; Example:
;auth=mark:topsecret@digium.com
;
; You may also add auth= statements to [peer] definitions
; Peer auth= override all other authentication settings if we match on realm

;
; type = user a device that authenticates to us by “from” field to place calls
; type = peer a device we place calls to or that calls us and we match by host
; type = friend two configurations (peer+user) in one
;
; For device names, we recommend using only a-z, numerics (0-9) and underscore
;
; For local phones, type=friend works most of the time
;
; If you have one-way audio, you probably have NAT problems.
; If Asterisk is on a public IP, and the phone is inside of a NAT device
; you will need to configure nat option for those phones.
; Also, turn on qualify=yes to keep the nat session open
;
; Because you might have a large number of similar sections, it is generally
; convenient to use templates for the common parameters, and add them
; the the various sections. Examples are below, and we can even leave
; the templates uncommented as they will not harm:

basic-options ; a template
dtmfmode=rfc2833
context=from-office
type=friend

natted-phone ; another template inheriting basic-options
nat=yes
canreinvite=no
host=dynamic

public-phone ; another template inheriting basic-options

canreinvite=yes

my-codecs ; a template for my preferred codecs
disallow=all
allow=ilbc
allow=g729
allow=gsm

; Standard configurations not using templates look like this:
;
;[grandstream1]
;type=friend
;context=from-sip ; Where to start in the dialplan when this phone calls
;callerid=John Doe <1234> ; Full caller ID, to override the phones config
; on incoming calls to Asterisk
;host=192.168.0.23 ; we have a static but private IP address
; No registration allowed
;nat=no ; there is not NAT between phone and Asterisk
;canreinvite=yes ; allow RTP voice traffic to bypass Asterisk
;dtmfmode=info ; either RFC2833 or INFO for the BudgeTone
;call-limit=1 ; permit only 1 outgoing call and 1 incoming call at a time
; from the phone to asterisk
; 1 for the explicit peer, 1 for the explicit user,
; remember that a friend equals 1 peer and 1 user in
; memory
; This will affect your subscriptions as well.
; There is no combined call counter for a “friend”
; so there’s currently no way in sip.conf to limit
; to one inbound or outbound call per phone. Use
; the group counters in the dial plan for that.

Hi

Is it correct that 4 of the phones share the same mailbox?

Im not sure how the MWI will work in that situation. Its not a setup I would use or have used.

What happens if the peer has its own mailbox ?

Ian[/quote]

yes, Effectively 4 devices for the same individual. Not all of them active at the same time. This should work much like the ‘hint’ mechansim in Asterisk to support presence. BTW, MWI used to work using this configuration.

I will test to see if MWI functions if each peer has its own mailbox. This would unfortunately defeat the point.

/w
/w

I’ve had the similar problem for quite some time and have to do the following:

in asterisk/channels/chan_sip.c:

static int does_peer_need_mwi(struct sip_peer *peer)
{

time_t = time(NULL);

/* added comments here, removed internal comments
if (ast_test_flag(&peer->flags[1], SIP_PAGE2_SUBSCRIBEMWIONLY) &&
!peer->mwipvt) {
peer->lastmsgcheck = t;
return FALSE;
}
*/
if (!ast_strlen_zero(peer->mailbox) && (t - peer->lastmsgcheck) > global_mwitime)
return TRUE;

return FALSE;

}

I assume it’s because of some setting I don’t have right but it works fine when I do this.

I don’t think there should be any problem with multiple phones sharing the same mailbox. I have several extensions around and I want them all to know when there is a message in a particular box.

thanks for the code segment. What burns me is that this used to work for me in the trunk branch before the extensive changes to MWI were made.

Yep, it used to work for me until about 6mo-1yr or so ago and then one day when I updated to 1.4 it didn’t.
