Proper signaling of called party in incoming calls

by Harald Welte

Hi all, for historical reasons and early bugs in our dialplan I made from the beginning, the first OCTOI users are receiving inbound calls using wrong called-party address. This [still] affects * totalizator * drdeke * marrold * tmwawpl * billy549 * manawyrm * tom * gruetzkopf * roox Instead of receiving inbound calls as [I've been told it was customary] type=subscriber with no area code, the inbound calls actually arrive with potentially undefined/various type-of-number and a 030 prefix. Sending a leading '0' is always wrong in ISDN, as the valid representations of for example my ISDN deskphone are either: ton=subscriber / 12342111 ton=national / 3012342111 ton=international / 493012342111 As you can see, none of those formats have a 0 in front of the area code. I would like to migrate the users stated above to the new scheme (which is already used by a bunch of other users just fine). In the new scheme, the called party number for normal berlin subscribers would always be ton=subscriber without 0, 030 or 30 prefix and just the final 8 'local' digits. I don't want to do this unilaterally and break currently working setups. So please come forward individually and let me know when I should make the switch-over for your line. You can just tell me a date and I'll do it then. Thanks for your attention, Harald -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> https://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

Fixes in DIVF dialplan / your help required

by Harald Welte

Greeting from the engine room! During RetroNetCall earlier this week, we had a live debug session for the dialplan on DIVF, the yate based softswithc we use as central switch within the OCTOI network. We were able to collaboratively fix a number of bugs (mostly reported by cquirin), which means we are catching more cases in which we were doing something wrong in the past. For those not that familiar with ISDN: In ISDN you not only have a string of dialled digits (like in analog POTS), but you also have the numbering plan indication and type-of-number fields together with a number. So both calling and called party can be in many different formats, and we need to try to make sense of them in the various situations, convert them to the most suitable format at the given point durin processing, etc. The fixes implemented might cause some existing setups to suddently fail. This is due to the fact that DIVF was doing something wrong in the past and has been fixed now. If you previously configured the equipment on your end to expect/generate the wrong format, you might need to make the corresponding change at your end. So please do a round of re-testing and reach out in case anything is not working for you, or you need clarification. I apologize for any turbulence this has caused, but I do think we all agree we need to aim to configure everything as proper as we can, to resemble the public ISDN service of the past.
