Howto:Convert wave files in to G7xx coder files

2013-08-01T16:12:53Z

Steffen: /* New since V6 SR1 */

The HTTP interface allows to play sound files delivered from a web server. This is used mostly for music on hold or waiting queue announcements. These files need to be in a specific format, not standard wave file. Here is how to convert a standard wave file into this format.

==Applies To==
This information applies to

* All innovaphone gateways (IP202, IP302,IP305 ,IP800, IP3000, IP6000)

Version 5.0 and later.

==More Information==

===Problem Details===
To avoid just-in-time format conversion and/or encoding, sound files played via the HTTP interface must be present as coder-specific raw sound stream data files. To use a standard wave file, it must be converted into G711/G723/G729 format first. Also, if you want to provide a specific sound file for calls with different coders, you must provide a single version of such file for each coder in question. To create G723, G729, G711a or G711u files, you will need standard 8kHz, 16bit, mono wave files.

At the [http://download.innovaphone.com/ice/6.00/ download site] you will find the softcod.exe in the tools folder. This is a command line utility which will convert such a wave file to the required coder files.

To convert a wave file announcement.wav, call at command line:
softcod announcement.wav

Softcode will create announcement.g723, announcement.g729, announcement.g711a and announcement.g711u.

Due to licensing issues, the conversion process requires access to an innovaphone gateway. The tool will thus ask for a valid gatekeeper/pbx alias. Note that the tool must be able to register with this alias. Therefore, you cannot use an account which is currently in use. As the tool will not ask for a password, you cannot use an account which is password protected.

===Installation===
There is no install available or required. Simply call softcod.exe from the command line.

===Known Problems===
The tool will locate the gatekeeper/pbx using gatekeeper discovery. Note that this currently will not work on multi-homed hosts, that is, hosts with more than one (virtual or physical) network interface. Most available wave file tools will not create wave files in the proper format (as defined above). In order for softcod.exe to work, you have to make sure the input wave file is in the proper format. Depending on the tool you are using, you may need to change the files audio properties. Also, you may use Windows™ standard audiorecorder application (sndrec32.exe) to convert a wave file in to the proper format (use File/Properties/Convert).

== New since V6 SR1 ==
Starting from V6 Sr1 it is possible to run the sound files via the Cf cardslot (no external web server needed) please refer to the related articles below.

Also it is then possible to automaticly convert the wav files into g7xx on the built-in compact flash card without using softcod.

8khz, 16bit, mono *.wav files can be copied to webdav-mountable '''\\''x.x.x.x''\drive\CX0''', in order to convert to *.g711a, *.g711u, *.g729.
Please use the the '''Internet Explorer''' to open the directory on the CF.

First, the access to the cf-card must be enabled. For this make relevant settings under "General, HTTP server, CompactFlash public access".
For example: "/DRIVE/CX0/" "read" and "write"

Go with '''Internet Explorer''' to '''"Administration, Diagnostics, CF"''' and choose the option '''"Browse CF Content (Explorer, IE only)"'''. In the Internet Explorer the line '''\\''x.x.x.x''\drive\CF0''' is appearing.
Change in the URL '''CF0''' to '''CX0'''. The URL is then looking like '''\\''x.x.x.x''\drive\CX0''' (also to mount a network drive).

Use now drag&drop to copy the wav file to the directory on the Compact Flash card.

After a succesfull conversion, you should have a similar file structure on your CF card.

However, please be patient - a 2.5MB file (2.5min audio content) takes on an ip800 ~15min to be converted into a *.g729 file.

== Convert other file formats ==

To use other source file formats (such as mp3 etc), following a small instruction how to do so:

* [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Download audio-converter] '''Audacity'''
* Start Audacity and open the source-file to be converted. This can be mp3, wav, aiff, flac, ogg-vorbis(?), ffmpeg-compatible formatted.
[[Image:Audacity_open_file.png]]
* Select in the below-left corner a '''projectfrequency of 8000Hz'''
[[Image:Audacity_frequency.png]]
* Click on File / Export and choose as output file format '''WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit PCM''' and store

Then proceed with the resulting WAV files as [[#New since V6 SR1|described above]] for conversion in g7xx formats.

Reference:Fine grained function locking

2009-02-05T10:13:49Z

Steffen:

This function disables certain phone functions in normal or in locked mode, a whitelist defines which numbers are permitted to dial when normal outbound calls are disabled, a prefix list defines which calls are to be considered external calls.

==Applies To==

This information applies to

*IP110 V6
*IP150 V6
*IP200 V6
*IP230 V6

==More Information==
Two bitmasks to disable certain phone functions in normal or in locked mode, a whitelist with numbers permitted to dial when normal outbound calls are disabled and a list with prefixes identifiying external calls can be entered via the Web Interface:

*"Phone/Protect/Fine grained Function Locking"
*"Phone/Protect/Functions to lock via PIN"
*"Phone/Protect/Numbers for Emergency Calls"
*"Phone/Protect/Prefixes for External Calls"

The same information can be entered by config upload'ing the following command line:

config change PHONE USER /lock-mask <mask> /pinlock-mask <mask> /whitelist-e164 <numbers> /external-e164 <prefixes>

Currently the following functions can be disabled:

PHONE_LOCK_DIAL_EXT 0x00000001 - disable external call if not on whitelist
PHONE_LOCK_DIAL_INT 0x00000002 - disable internal call if not on whitelist
PHONE_LOCK_DIAL_QUERY 0x00000004 - disable directory search on outbound calls
PHONE_LOCK_DIAL_HISTORY 0x00000008 - disable outbound call list access
PHONE_LOCK_RING_EXT 0x00000010 - ignore (but log) inbound external calls
PHONE_LOCK_RING_INT 0x00000020 - ignore (but log) inbound internal calls
PHONE_LOCK_RING_QUERY 0x00000040 - disable directory search on inbound calls
PHONE_LOCK_RING_HISTORY 0x00000080 - disable inbound call list access
PHONE_LOCK_CALL_COMPLETION 0x00000100 - disable call completion
PHONE_LOCK_CALL_TRANSFER 0x00000200 - disable call transfer
PHONE_LOCK_CALL_BROKING 0x00000400 - disable handling of multiple calls
PHONE_LOCK_CALL_CONFERENCE 0x00000800 - disable conference
PHONE_LOCK_CALL_DIVERSION 0x00001000 - disable call diversion
PHONE_LOCK_FKEYS 0x00020000 - disable function keys
PHONE_LOCK_MENU 0x00040000 - disable any menu
PHONE_LOCK_DND 0x00080000 - disable Do Not Disturb via mute key, function key and menu (V6 SR1 hotfix5)
PHONE_LOCK_DIRECTORY 0x00200000 - disable directory access
PHONE_LOCK_REMOTE_CONTROL 0x01000000 - disable remote control of phone device
PHONE_LOCK_KEY_INFO 0x20000000 - do not display function key labels or lamps
PHONE_LOCK_CALL_INFO 0x40000000 - do not display missed calls and active diversions
PHONE_LOCK_USAGE 0x80000000 - restrict phone access to emergency use

The mask defined under "Fine grained Function Locking" (/lock-mask) is applied when the phone is in normal mode. The default for this mask is 0x00000000.

The mask defined under "Functions to lock via PIN" (/pinlock-mask) is applied when the phone is locked with a PIN entered in the corresponding menu. The default for this mask is 0x9fffffbf :

*outbound calls are restricted according to whitelist, an empty whitelist disables any outbound call.
*inbound calls are ignored but logged in the call list
*function keys are deactivated but show their current state (probably it would have been better to supress key state display, thus this default may be changed in a later release)
*missed calls are displayed
*aktive diversions are not displayed (this is currently not controlled by the pinlock-mask but by the pinlocked state itself, thus this cannot be changed in current version but it will be in following versions).

The whitelist is a comma separated list of numbers, including any necessary prefix.
This is different to the whitelist handling of version 5 where the prefix for an external call defined in the dialling location (usually '0') was skipped before checking the further digits dialled.

The prefix list is a comma separated list of prefixes identifiying external calls, in the most simple case this list may contain only a '0'.

Howto:Howto get an analog modem to work with an analog adapter

2009-02-04T13:03:54Z

Steffen: /* Configuration */

Analog adapters IP21/IP22/IP24/IP28/IP302 are able to work with an analog modem with some special settings.

==Applies To==
This information applies to

*IP21, V5, V6
*IP22, V6
*IP24, V6
*IP28, V6
*IP302, V6



==More Information==
===Problem Details===
Sending Faxes over IP networks is only possible with an T.38 implementation like innovaphone uses in all Gateways. For modems there is no protocol implemented.

The only way to get a working modem connection is to setup a normal media channel with no restriction or compression.

===System Requirements===
Local network connection with low delay is required.

===Configuration===
Following parameters that differ from the default configuration can be changed to increase the modem functionality.

Enable passive checkbox under TELx->Signaling (don't interpret FLASH and DTMF's when connected) on your appropriate TEL Interface:
<center>[[Image:Analog_modem_01.png]]</center>

Configure codec under Gateway/Interfaces/TELx:
<center>[[Image:Analog_modem_02.png]]</center>

At last disable the echo canceler in the appropriate routing entry. Therefor go to the routing table Gateway->Routes:
<center>[[Image:Analog_modem_03.png]]</center>

Disable Echo Canceler for routes from and to appropriate analog interface:
<center>[[Image:Analog_modem_04.png]]</center>

Please keep in mind to deactivate echo canceler on whole voip path till outbreak to another analog line.

===Known Problems===

Having still problems with Modem connections - disable faststart (no faststart) on the Gateway.

Large round trip times may produce long signal delays in some IP networks. That’s why the packet size should be set to 20 ms in the codec configuration.

Reference:Administration/Gateway/Routes

2008-09-23T07:10:39Z

Steffen:

This page displays all the configured routes for phone calls. Routes may be changed added or deleted. The display of routes can be filtered so that only routes with a given From or To interface are displayed. For incoming calls these routes are searched from top to bottom to find a matching route. So the sequence of the routes is important. If a VOIP registration is configured for a physical interface the required routes to send calls from the physical interface to the implicitly generated VOIP interface and vice versa are generated automatically. These automatically generated routes are displayed with grey number maps.

== Routes/Maps ==

The routing table consists of a ordered list of routes. Each route defines a list of interfaces for which incoming calls are handled by the route and a list of maps. The maps define the called party number which are matched to the incoming call, the new called party number, some flags, the destination interaface and optionally a list of calling party number maps. The calling party number maps are used to modify the calling party number of the call.

== Insert Routes ==

Routes are inserted by clicking on the left insert symbols. The new route is inserted below the symbol. A [[Reference:Administration/Relay/Routes/Map|edit page]] is opened which is used to enter the parameters for the first map of this route.

== Insert Maps ==

To insert maps the insert symbols displayed before the number maps are used. There is one "insert above" symbol to insert a new map as first map of the route.

== Filter List ==

If a From interface is clicked only the routes which contain this interface as From interface are displayed. If a To interface is clicked only maps with this interface as To interaface are displayed. These mechanisms can be used to figure out what is going on in big routing tables.

== Change Maps ==

Maps can be changed or deleted by clicking on the number maps (which is just an arrow if the map is empty).

== Changing CGPN Maps ==

The Calling Party Number maps can be changed by clicking on a CGPN Map. An [[Reference:Administration/Relay/CGPN-Maps|edit page]] is opened by this which contains all the CGPN Maps of the given Map.
