Johnny,

 

I would discourage the use of old style hubs. We have many cases reported where inserting a hub in the traffic was leading to packet loss. The best setup if you are not able to SPAN monitor is to use an Ethernet tap. This option has become pretty cheap lately. See Netoptics Teeny Tap or Barracuda Ethernet Tap products for example.

Hi, Henri,

 

I will appreciate if you could point to me some models of old hub which could do this job.

 

No doubt that all the IP packets are passing through the Asterisk Linux server’s network card, but not the windows server; this maybe the key point to implement it.

 

Thanks & Best Regards,

 

Johnny

Johnny,

 

This should be doable. You need to have a way to get VoIP packets to your Windows Oreka server via SPAN, an old style hub or an Ethernet tap.

 

Cheers,

Henri

Subject: [Oreka-user] Audio recording for asterisk server possibility
Importance: High

 

Hi,

I have downloaded the free oreka audio and installed in my Linux asterisk server (around 30 concurrent calls).

 

And installed orekaweb & orekatrack in my another windows server, these two servers are located in the same LAN.

 

What I want to achieve are:

1.       Record all the incoming / outgoing calls made through this asterisk server (both internal and TDM calls)

2.       The audio files need to store in the windows server instead of the linux server.

3.       Possible to search and replay through the windows server.

 

I am not sure whether this could be done using oreka software, I don’t mind paying for the commercial one if it’s working.

 

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

 

Best Regards,

 

Johnny Xing

 

Edward,

Most likely, you are dropping packets. A beefier server might help. Do you
know how many concurrent calls you have on your platform?

Subject: [Oreka-user] choppy audio playback

Hi everyone!  We have been running Orkaudio for more than a week now,
and this is an AMAZING addition to our asterisk setup!  One thing
we've noticed, however, is
the playback of recordings have been choppy.  We're using the gsm
codec so that we can save space, but we're not sure if it's the
processing power of our server (P4 2.8GHz cpu, single IDE HD, 512Mb
memory, 100meg ethernet) is strong enough to handle the call volumes
we normally handle.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what HW setup
would be adequate for this?

Edward,

Yes, this is a common problem if you look around in the mailing lists. Just
update orkservice so that the hostname is the IP address instead of the DNS
name.
However, you will need to use the latest subversion version of
OrkWeb/OrkTrack and compile it because the last posted binary has a bug
where any orkservice manual setting is reset when a new recording comes in.

Cheers,
Henri

Subject: [Oreka-user] Cannot playback recordings

Hi everyone!  I've finally installed orkaudio with orkweb and
orktrack, and I can see the recordings coming in on the web gui
(192.168.0.220)  The only trouble
I have is that I cannot playback the recordings.  I checked the log
directory and it does have the .wav and .mcf files - they are playable
if
I ftp the.wav files to my windows system and play them back with media
player.  I'm beginning to suspect it's the way I'm accessing
the orkweb gui via it's IP address (192.168.0.220), because I noticed
that when I move the mouse pointer over the play buttons, javascript
would show
http://voiprecorder:8080//2008/12/05/13/20081205_134915_192.168.1.200,18330.
wav
 instead of

 Has anyone faced this problem before?

Edward,

Is this the 32 bit or 64 bit version of fedora 8?
Do you use the latest oreka svn revision or do you use the last official
release as an rpm package?

Hi Henri!  I just installed it, not connected to anything.  There's no
traffic going through, which concerned me quite a bit.  I'm wondering
if it might have to do with problems I was having installing ACE,
which i had to ignore the dependencies so it could install.

Edward,

It depends on the workload. 99% CPU can be perfectly normal in high traffic
volume. How many concurrent calls do you think you have on your platform?

Conor,

 

Have you tried it without any IP filter?

Could you please send me offline the orkaudio.log files for both scenario 1
and 2? (Please zip before sending)

Subject: [Oreka-user] Allowed IP confusion and call reporting

 

I have been experiencing some problems with how Oreka/OrkWeb have been
reporting who are making calls. I am also seeing problems with only 1 side
of conversations being captured. 

First some background. 

I have an asterisk box terminating a T1 line, this sits on my Lan at
192.168.215.5, I then have my PBX (PBX1) on the same LAN at 192.168.215.1.
Oreka is installed and running on the asterisk box. 

My PBX at 215.1 will send all calls through the Asterisk to the PSTN. 

I have another PBX (PBX2) at another location (lets say the IP is
123.4.5.6). When people place a call from PBX 2 the calls are routed over
the internet and sent to PBX1 which then sends the calls to Asterisk. This
works fine, calls can go in and out of the Asterisk gateway with no
problems. 

When I attempt to capture calls going through the Asterisk box coming from
PBX2 though I can only capture the 'destination' side of the conversation
i.e. the person who is being called. 

I have played around with different configurations in my config.xml but I
cannot seem to get it working the way I would wish. 

Here are the different scenarios I have tried: 

1)
AllowedIpRanges: Includes the global IP address of PBX2 as well as the Local
IP address of the Asterisk box
MediaGateways: Includes the LAN IP of PBX1

This config results in both sides of the calls being captured, but the Local
Party and RemoteParty show up as their IP addresses (which means I cannot
tell who is placing the calls). 

2)
AllowedIpRanges: Include the Global IP of PBX2, Local IP of Asterisk (215.5)
and the local IP of PBX 1 (215.1)
MediaGateways: None

The result here is that I see the correct details in LocalParty and
RemoteParty but I only get 1 side of the call (the person being called). 

Has anyone experienced this issue before? I suspect I am not understanding
something about how to do the config, or maybe I'm leaving something out of
my AllowedIpRanges. 

Any ideas or help are appreciated, 

Cheers, 

Conor
