Comment on Disabling the OpenFire service in Elastix by Wayland

Thank you, that’s just what I wanted. It worked a treat. It’s a shame that so many important things in Linux based things require looking on the Internet rather than a button in the software.

Did you check out the install notes that come with A2Billing. If so they should get you most of the way there.

Comment on Installing Digium g.729 codec for Asterisk on an OpenVZ VPS by matt

Unfortunately the only way to use pass-thru is if your system doesn’t answer the call (say in a SIP to SIP call). If you’re doing calling cards then you have to answer the call so won’t be able to use pass-thru.

How I can use G.729 codec in pass-thru mode as open source. If I have billing server with asterisk and using only calling card service with softphone dialer and outbound provider using g729a, how I can connect my asterisk to him without channels licence cost?Thanks

Comment on Using A2Billing for wholesale or residential services by matt

Hi Kai,

Certainly the password worked when the testing and documentation was done. I’m not sure if you can create an A2Billing customer with no password, even if you can I would not recommend it.

The password in xlite that you have typed does it really work?

Can you remove the password, and try to make a call to see if you can or not.

Thanks to let me know.

Comment on OpenVPN with a SysAdminMan Asterisk VPS and TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND by matt

I did a quick test today to see how much of an overhead running OpenVPN added to the VOIP traffic. It looks like it’s around 25kb/s so if you’re running G729 then that’s quite significant. The results below show one channel running an echo test.

Here were the findings -

Without OpenVPN – Single Call
G729 – 25 kb/s
G711 – 80 kb/s

With OpenVPN – Single Call
G729 – 50 kb/s
G711 – 105 kbs

With OpenVPN – Two Calls
G711 – 210 kb/s
