 |
|
Hello,
I have a system in a motel that needs call billing data output through its
serial port so the existing motel management software can collect the call
billing info.
Is there any easy way to redirect the data that goes into the
cdr_custom/Master.csv file to go out the serial port ?
The system is Asterisk 1.4.18.1 on Centos 5.1
Thanks,
Col

The first issue I see is that Asterisk sees all phones as the IP
address of the Fortinet. Since the parameter "localnet" defines the
local network and that address falls in that range, how will Asterisk
treat the endpoints? I have "nat=yes" for all phones and
"canreinvite=no" as well. The "externip" parameter is set to the
outside public IP address. Still we have calls with one way audio.
This is the first setup with a firewall that rewrites the IP address of
the endpoint so I do not know how that is affecting the packet flow. On
my other servers I can always see the public IP of the endpoint.

Hello again,
I can copy the file out the serial port by doing this:
rename Master.csv out1.csv
cat out1.csv > /dev/ttyS0
If I build a script to do this every 10 or 20 seconds via cron I think it
will work fine, unless someone has a better way.
Cheers,
Col

How about a tail -f on Master.csv ?
Then you will have everything realtime and you will not need a cronjob.

Thanks for the idea Zoa.
I've got the cronjob working every minute now using
if [ -f /var/log/asterisk/cdr-custom/Master.csv ]
then
cd /var/log/asterisk/cdr-custom
mv -f Master.csv out1.csv
cat out1.csv > /dev/ttyS0
fi
Using tail -f would give me the realtime output, but a few questions as a
real linux novice;
What would be the best way to start this up ?
How would I monitor it to make sure it hasn't died, and how to restart ?
Cheers,
Col

Best way would be to use inittab, with respawn, if it dies. Note that on very
recent Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, /etc/inittab has been replaced
with a directory, /etc/events.d/

I've written a few variants of what I call a "CDR MUX" -- a little application
that reads CDRs from a legacy system via serial port, reads CDRs from
Asterisk, combines them and outputs them in a specific format out another
serial port for some third-party billing system.
Essentially that's what you're asking for, minus the legacy system part. I
imagine the billing system isn't interested in a straight "tail -f
| Quote: | /dev/ttyS1" output, so some level of translation would be required.

Long ago, I wrote a nice program that reads CDR output from any legacy
PBX via the serial port. Not much in use lately, but I will be happy to
furbish it with mysql output to anyone who asks.

No problem. The program is in Windows. Contact me off line to make
arrangements to send you the installation files.
