Toll-free termination providers allow you to terminate toll-free calls from the US and Canada for free. If you have a large volume of calls to toll-free numbers, some providers will pay you for your calls.

Session Border Controller

$

0
A Session Border Controller is a device used in select VoIP networks to exert control over the signaling and usually also the media streams involved in setting up, conducting, and tearing down calls. The SBC enforces security, quality of service and admission control mechanism over the VoIP sessions.

The Session Border Controller is often installed in a point of demarcation between one part of a network and another. Most Session Border controllers will be installed between peering service provider networks, between the enterprise network and the service provider network, or between the service provider network and residential users.

A Session Border Controller is like a Firewall for VOIP.
They are often configured as a SIP Back-To-Back User Agent (See SIP RFC).

In addition to firewall functions they also may provide services like NAT traversal.

See: NAT and VOIP for more information and watch the video on The Anatomy of Session Border Controllers and To Couple or Decouple Routing Intelligence from SBC.

Martyn Davies of Dialogic discusses Session Border Controllers as the often misunderstood "black magic" application for VoIP networks.

Although carriers often use Session Border Controllers for signal translation and security, most do not include the hardware-based signal processing needed for media transcoding. For all-IP environments, new elements are required that can mediate signaling, transcode among different media formats, and handle basic security issues. The concept of Multimedia Border Element (MMBE) meets these needs.

Synopsis

The practical implementation of VoIP was started on hardware based IP Phones. The idea was well received and was transferred into the concept of Soft Phones or software based IP Phones. These softwares always required some additional installation to the native Operating System. Most common examples of Softphones or Software based SIP client is Counterpath's X-Lite and Bria.

The Evolution of Software Development made it possible to translate or formulate equivalent of almost every desktop based application to web based application. This brought major shift in Software Industry as the web browsers are integral part of almost every Operating System. SIP clients, were also transformed into Web Extensions. Most of the time, Flash was used to develop such extensions however, it always required extra plugin installation, thus decreasing system performance, and increasing chance to troubleshoot as it required additional resources to be deployed. And this problem gave rise to the concept of WebRTC.

Overview

customLogo.gif.png

WebRTC provides the functionality of realtime multimedia applications without any installation of additional plugins, downloads or extensions. The ideal form of WebRTC describes such web based Real Time Communication independent of Browser being used by user. It's a Javascript based API originally being developed to develop browser to browser communication applications for Voice, Video and Peer to Peer File Sharing tasks.

Architecture

The architecture of WebRTC, as described by W3C looks something like this:
WebRTCpublicdiagramforwebsite (2).png


Design

Major components of WebRTC include:

  • getUserMedia, which allows a web browser to access the camera and microphone
  • PeerConnection, which sets up the audio/video calls
  • DataChannels, which allow browsers to share data via peer-to-peer

Unified Communications

$
0
0
Unified Communications, often abbreviated as UC, is the combination of different types of communication mediums including telephone service (VoIP), chat, video and web conferencing, messaging, email, fax, and other types of communications. Unified Communications systems can be sold and implemented with a select amount of individual communication mediums, or many integrated into a single unified system.

Unified communications consist of integrating various real-time and non-real time communication services into a convenient package for the user. Examples of real-time services commonly used include instant messaging, telephony and data sharing. Non-real time communication services focus mainly on messaging services like e-mail, SMS, voicemail and fax.

With a unified communications solution, the user can receive a message through one communication medium and use another one to access it. One common example of this would be receiving a voicemail message on an office landline phone and using a mobile phone to retrieve it. ...

Asterisk timer ztdummy

$

How to compile ztdummy

ztdummy is a Linux kernel module that will provide your Asterisk with a Zaptel timer even if you don't have any Digium hardware installed in your Linux server. For Linux kernel version 2.4 the ztdummy module takes timing from the usb-uhci kernel module, which should be loaded before ztdummy. Note that usb-uhci must not be compiled into the kernel, it'll only work with ztdummy if loaded as a module! On kernel version 2.6 ztdummy uses internal high-resolution kernel timer and does not require any USB. Using the internal kernel timer is recommended.

General instructions for compiling all of the zaptel modules including ztdummy are here: Asterisk Zaptel Installation

Do you have the correct USB Controller?

If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel you will need a USB controller to use ztdummy.
There are two types of USB controller chips used on motherboards: USB OHCI and USB UHCI. To use ztdummy, you need an USB UHCI type controller on the motherboard, as the OHCI chips work very differently. If you do not have an appropriate USB controller as a timing source, then you should use Asterisk zaprtc. It was originally written by Klaus-Peter Junghanns and is distributed at http://www.junghanns.net/asterisk/.

  1. To check if you have the usb_uhci module, do lsmod
  2. Check out the zaptel module from the Asterisk CVS repository
  3. Make sure you have the Linux Kernel source files installed
  4. Edit the Makefile and remove the '#' in front of ztdummy in the top
  5. Do a make all
  6. Do make install
  7. To load the ztdummy, do modprobe ztdummy

You will probably want to include 'modprobe ztdummy' in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local to make sure it is present at startup before Asterisk is launched.

Additional info


This page contains outdated information. Now that 2.6 kernels are norm, it still talks about 2.4 and 'make linux26' which have been deprecated.
Also these instructions do not work on Fedora 6/7 as of kernel 2.6.22.1-32 . These are the errors when doing modprobe ztdummy after compilation
ztdummy: Unknown symbol rtc_register
ztdummy: Unknown symbol rtc_unregister
ztdummy: Unknown symbol rtc_control

even though crc_ccitt is set as M. here is the output from lsmod | grep zaptel
zaptel 186404 0
crc_ccitt 6337 1 zaptel

There is a bug opened with Digium

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=10426

Install instructions for Debian Lenny as of 2/3/2010 for ztdummy timer

FreePBX is a full-featured PBX web application. If you've looked into Asterisk, you know that it doesn't come with any "built in" programming. You can't plug a phone into it and make it work without editing configuration files, writing dialplans, and various messing about.

FreePBX simplifies this by giving you pre-programmed functionality accessible by a user-friendly web interfaces that allows you to have a fully functional PBX pretty much straight away with no programming required. Some of the features that FreePBX supports out of the box are:

  • Unlimited number of Voicemail boxes
  • "Follow Me" functionality
  • Ring Groups with calls confirmation (so if, eg, a cellphone is out of range and diverts to voicemail, all the other phones keep ringing)
  • Unlimited number of Conferences (limited by available CPU power - about 300 simultaneous users in conferences on a P4 3ghz - 600 with a dual core!)
  • Paging and Intercom functionality for man SIP phones that support it.
  • Music on Hold (via MP3s, or streamed off the internet)
  • Call Queues
  • And many other features

FreePBX is built on the LAMPA™ stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP and Asterisk). It's a modular system, with click-to-install plugins downloadable over the internet from the online module repository.



FreePBX Features at a Glance:



  • Add or change extension and voicemail accounts in seconds
  • Native support of SIP, IAX, and ZAP clients (other endpoints are supported through custom extensions)
  • Supports all Asterisk supported trunk technologies
  • Reduce long distance costs with LCR
  • Route incoming calls based on time-of-day
  • Create interactive Digital Receptionist (IVR) menus

Hard Phones

Standalone Ethernet Hard Phones (voice only)
An Ethernet hard phone is a self contained IP telephone that looks just like a conventional phone but instead of a conventional phone jack, it has an Ethernet port through which it communicates directly with a VoIP server, VoIP gateway or another VoIP phone. Since a broadband hard phone communicates directly with a VoIP server, VoIP gateway or another VoIP phone it does not require any personal computer nor any software running on a personal computer to make or receive VoIP phone calls. It can be used independently, all that is required is an internet connection. While PC based software solutions are cheaper, a hard phone is the best solution for IP telephony.

Asterisk security

$
0
0
If you are looking to secure your PBX you have several options which can be implemented independently or in combination:
  • PBX Configuration - adjust the settings of your PBX to minimize obvious attack surfaces (no longer considered optional - just part of setting up any PBX).
  • Perimeter Security - Add software/hardware around your PBX to improve security (one notch above configuration - just part of operating any server).
  • Integrated Security - add software which integrates with your specific PBX to improve security (this is what really makes a difference in protecting your PBX).

Note that some recommendations (eg: changing ports, port knocking, etc.) are ideal for small and home office installations, whereas these same recommendations are impractical for large-scale implementations. As well, some recommendations are a great starting point (eg: hardware firewall) but this is no longer sufficient to protect a PBX.

Integrated Security


SecAst

SecAst is an intrusion detection and prevention system designed specifically to protect Asterisk phone systems against intrusion and fraud. SecAst uses a variety of techniques to detect intrusion attempts, halt ongoing attacks, and prevent future attacks. SecAst is available in three editions, including a free edition. SecAst can be downloaded from www.generationd.com or checkout the wiki page SecAst (Asterisk Intrusion Detection and Prevention)

Fail2Ban

Fail2Ban is a free utilitiy which looks at log files for records of failures (to register, etc.) and then add their source IP to iptables.See security warning regarding fail2ban - don't depend on it.


Perimeter Security

If you are looking to add layers around your PBX with generic protection:

Hardware Firewall

Most Asterisk boxes should be located behind a hardware firewall. Configure the firewall to block traffic from anyone that doesn't need to connect to you. Allow your VoIP provider, any remote phones/users, and others that may need to connect, but keep the restrictions as tight as possible. If you do have remote users, lock your firewall down to only allow those users to connect if possible, rather than opening it to the entire internet. If you have mobile users this may not be an option however.

Other services, such as SSH should be blocked by the hardware firewall. ...
