These are scripts used by the [[Telephone system]].
We make use of the mod_cidlookup for ease of use, but not all features are functional in our implementation.
 
Every request is done via HTTP requests to a php script that will check if the number:
 
* is an extension (and returns the name for that)
 
* is stored in the local mySQL database, and return that
 
* can be found online by using reversed number lookup websites for landlines
 
* can be found online by using the national telecommunications authority database (opta.nl) for cell phones returning the associated cell provider
 
* can be categorized by a more coarse lookup, like continent, country, region, town or number block owner, stored in a local array (~500 entries)
 
  
The setting for mod_cidlookup is:
+
{{#ask: [[Category:Telephone snippet]]
<param name="url" value="http://webserviceprovider/lookup.php?number=${caller_id_number}"/>

[[Category:Telephony]]
This script returns some information about the caller, preferrably the name.
 
It uses a local MySQL database and fetches info from some sites.

=== dialing out ===
 
This default dialplan snippet does a caller id lookup, and updates the callee name which will be visible on the local extension

=== incoming calls ===
 
This public dialplan snippet somewhat at the top sets the number (if any) first, checks if it has an international prefix, does a lookup for incoming calls and will set the name accordingly.
 
 
 
The second part will strip any leading + sign

Upon dialing *<number>, this snippet will create a conference for the caller, and will try for 5 seconds to add the callee as <number>_intercom which is an auto-answer line 2 setup on the cisco phones containing a sip image.

=== todo ===
 
There is a auto_answer perl script that logs into the phone and changes the auto-answer setting: I might want to upload it here.
 
 
 
== Space state ==
 
This script sets the spacestate variable according to what the webservice API returns.
 
It then can be used in the dialplan to, for example, play a sound file or do call forwarding.
 
Currently it is used to build a sound phrase for playing it as a greeting within our IVR
 
 
 
=== spacestate.js ===
 
<pre>
 
// Checks the space state API: if "open" is not 'true',
 
// it's assumed closed and plays a sound file
 
 
 
if (session.ready())
 
{
 
    session.preAnswer();
 
 
 
    var state = fetchUrl( "https://ackspace.nl/status.php" );
 
    if (state == false)
 
        console_log( 3, "could not fetch space state");
 
    else
 
    {
 
        // Remove newlines
 
        state = state.replace( /[\r\n]/g,"");
 
 
 
        if( !state.match(  /.*"open"[ \t]*:[ \t]*true.*/i ) )
 
        {
 
            console_log(4, "Space seems to be closed, or could not parse result.\n");
 
            session.setVariable("spacestate", "closed");
 
        } else {
 
            console_log(4, "Space is open!\n");
 
            session.setVariable("spacestate", "open");
 
        }
 
    }
 
}
 
</pre>
 
 
 
=== dialplan and ivr ===
 
The javascript is executed just before executing the IVR
 
<action application="javascript" data="spacestate.js"/>
 
<action application="ivr" data="ackspace_ivr"/>
 
 
 
and the corresponding IVR setting is:
 
greet-long="phrase:ackspace_welcome:${spacestate}"
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
=== phrase ===
 
This snippet is put under lang/nl/IVR/ackspace.xml and checks the given variable whether it is set to 'open'
 
<pre><macro name="ackspace_welcome">
 
    <input pattern="^(open)$">
 
        <match>
 
            <action function="play-file" data="ivr/welkom.wav"/>
 
            <action function="sleep" data="300"/>
 
            <action function="play-file" data="phrase:ackspace_welcome_short"/>
 
        </match>

            <action function="play-file" data="ivr/welkom.wav"/>
 
            <action function="sleep" data="300"/>

== closing announcement ==
 
While this script is not in use anymore, since we're a 24/7 space now, it still is fun to trigger announcements using cron jobs
 
 
 
it used to trigger on 9:30PM on weekdays, and 4:30PM on saturday.
 
At first I tried to retrigger the events in the dialplan for the next occurrence, but cron jobs are way more reliable (and easier)
 
 
 
=== crontab for freeswitch user ===
 
30  21  *  *  1-5 /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/fs_cli -x "originate loopback/1399 closure"
 
30  16  *  *  6  /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/fs_cli -x "originate loopback/1399 closure"
 
 
 
=== paging.js ===
 
This script takes the dialstring of all members withing call group 'intercom' and puts them as conference-auto-out-call separately.
 
After that, the conference is started with the sound extension, and all parsed extensions will be called automatically (assuming that extension has auto-answer for that line)
 
When the sound extension is done and hangs up, everyone is kicked out of the conference.
 
 
 
<pre>
 
if (session.ready())
 
{
 
    session.answer();
 
 
 
    console_log(4, "building-wide paging\n");
 
 
 
    session.execute("set","pageGroup=${group_call(intercom@${domain_name}+E)}\n");
 
    var pageGroup = session.getVariable("pageGroup");
 
    var arrPageGroup = pageGroup.split( ":_:" );
 
    for ( var idx = 0; idx < arrPageGroup.length; idx++ )
 
    {
 
        var user = arrPageGroup[ idx ];
 
        user = user.replace( /\n/g, "" );
 
        user = user.replace( /\[[^\]]*\](.*)/g, "$1" );
 
        session.execute("conference_set_auto_outcall", user);
 
    }
 
}
 
</pre>
 
 
 
=== dialplan ===
 
The announcement consists of two parts: triggering a group-intercom and executing a 'closure' extension which played the appropriate sounds

These are scripts used by the Telephone system.

Telephone system:Number lookup

This script uses mod_cidlookup combined with a custom php page. It tests the number against a SQLite database, several reversed number lookup websites, the national telecommunications authority database and a coarse array of areas of the world, which are called in order of granularity. The script can be called both on outgoing and incoming calls

Telephone system:Space state

This script sets the spacestate variable according to what the webservice API returns. It then can be used in the dialplan to, for example, play a sound file or do call forwarding. Currently it is used to build a sound phrase for playing it as a greeting within our IVR

Telephone system:FreeSWITCH tricks

This page provides a couple of tricks to ease working and debugging with FreeSWITCH

Phone:+31979922

The telephone number (+31979922) is part of the SpacePhone ENUM project, and works in two ways:

  • Be accessible to other people having only a numeric keypad, without any costs.
  • Call other in-country spaces with a short-hand number, in our case: 922 for ACKspace
Telephone system:shoutcast streams

The most efficient way to have shoutcast streams as MOH is to set up a muted conference. This way, the fist connection will be made when the first listener joins, and no extra streams will be opened.

Telephone system:tijdmelding

Dit script is een bescheiden ode aan de bekende tijdmelding, die inmiddels al 25 jaar dezelfde stem draagt, al 87 jaar bestaat (met 83 jaar gesproken tijdmelding).

Telephone system:fail2ban

If you have a FreeSWITCH instance running on the public net, changes are people will try to exploit it. Fail2ban tries to mitigate this. This is a re-attempt since the alternative perl autoblock script would freeze/hang.

Telephone system:Simple intercom

This is a dialplan sample of using the secondary phone line put on auto answer, and bridge them in a conference call.

Telephone system:Closing announcement

This collection of scripts was used to broadcast (closing) announcements using cron jobs

Telephone system:autopatch

To connect the PABX to an external communications channel, one needs a tiny bit of hardware and some scripting to get it working. A proof of concept is made that used the PMRs in the space and a couple of components on a perf-board.

Telephone system:Betamax credit

This collection of scripts will allow the user to hear the credit available on the Betamax services (VoipBuster, Intervoip, etc.), when dialing 1244 (the number for prepaid services as defined by Ministry of Economic affairs).

Telephone system:Cisco phone deployment

Some notes and configuration snippets for deploying the Cisco 79xx series phones
