                Not sure about voicemail but I keep logs and cdr after reboot. Still using 301/302 but no changes to them and 303+ externals are fine, no re-addition of demo extensions.

                Working nicely on fresh 2.1 with raid1 (shouldn't matter). I have 2 lans on LAN and OPT1 and set localnet for both to pfsense's IP on those nets. Also doing 1:1 on WAN VIP to OPT2 so thinking of trying to get SIP to pass through tot that on a theoretical setup where pfsense handles some lans and passes an external IP to another lan that has it's own asterisk for whatever reason or just one phone talking to another outside asterisk or provider that has to be on 5060 as well.

                Is there  any explanation as to why jitterbuffer is on for PFSENSE's asterisk? I get why allowguest isn't… just curious about jitterbuffer.

                  Well I finaly figured it out

                  In /usr/local/pkg
                  there is the a file called asterisk.inc
                  It contains the following code wich is causing my issue of the demo extentions being added after a reboot

                  ==>

                  if (strpos($script_file,'demo extension for pfSense') === false) {  //first check if already added…
                                                  $add_demo_extension = << <eof<br>[301]
                  ;demo extension for pfSense
                  type=friend
                  defaultuser=301
                  insecure=port,invite
                  secret=1234
                  regexten=301
                  host=dynamic
                  context=default

                  [302]
                  ;demo extension for pfSense
                  type=friend
                  defaultuser=302
                  insecure=port,invite
                  secret=1234
                  regexten=302
                  host=dynamic
                  context=default

                  EOF;
                                                  $script_file .= $add_demo_extension;
                                                  file_put_contents($script, $script_file, LOCK_EX);
                                          }
                  <==

                  Please fix this in the next release
                  Thanks in advance

                  Kr

                    As a workaround, all you have to do is keep the comment line "demo extension for pfSense" present in the conf file, but delete the demos themselves. The script only checks for the string "demo extension for pfSense", if it's present, it doesn't add anything.

                    I can't seem to reproduce this problem in my setup though. If I delete the whole thing, it keeps it deleted after reboot too.

                      Hello,

                      I have a specific question concerning logging as my Asterisk seems to often miss the connection to my VoIP provider.
                      How could I send the Asterisk logging to a syslog server (I have one running in my house) ?

                      Another solution could be to send the logs to a USB stick. But how ?

                      Tx for your help !

                          To save logs to the USB stick I think it would be enough to just change the logdir path in asterisk.conf```
                          astlogdir => /var/log/asterisk

                          
                          For a remote syslog server you can try some tips found on the internet: http://www.savelono.com/linux/configuring-asterisk-for-a-remote-syslog-server.html

                              With clean package install i am wondering to activate the AEL module , but there is an error.

                                I never used pbx_ael.so module. I guess it depends on something, which is missing. Perhaps googling on the error message could give some hints…

                                  I just upgraded my pFsense to the latest 2.1.2 release….
                                  After the reboot & successfull update pFsense gave me the following message "Packages are currently being reinstalled in the background."

                                  Nice !

                                  I have 2 packages....a small one (CRON) and Asterisk.
                                  The problem is the size of the new Asterisk package that is automatically installed !!!!!

                                  • previous release - asterisk-1.8.25.0-i386.pbi  -> 41MB
                                  • current release - asterisk-1.8.26.1-i386.pbi -> 108MB

                                  At the end of the installation Asterisk burns 580MB of space which leaves my 1GB CF card....voiceless...as my VoIP installation.

                                  In fact even with a 2GB CF card it has been problematic for me to install it.
                                  88% space used & installation goes forever. Then reboot, install the package again (in fact it will just run the installation phase not the download) and finally....it works ! But my card is nearly full with 88% of 907M used.

                                  Is there a reason for such a size increase ?
                                  What would be the way for installing the older release instead ?

                                  Thanks for your help.

                                    Hmm…

                                    I also noticed that on my 4G CF card the space usage was higher after the upgrade, but I thougt that was because I was also upgrading architecture from i386 to x64. Your post shows me that I was most probably wrong.

                                    As far as I can remember the older Asterisk had some security issues, so the upgraded version is recommended to be used. However it's indeed surprising more than twice disk space to be used.
                                    The older asterisk had quite a lot of non-functional modules, because of many missing dependencies. Maybe here these were fixed, that would explain the increased disk space requirerements.

                                    I don't know.

                                    However, I suggest to move to 4GB card on NanoBSD...

                                      I have the same behaviour here and using your workaround does the trick.
                                      But it is annoying….

                                            Hi All,

                                            Does somebody tried the odbc connector from pfsense to another host?
                                            I'm trying to configure it (to use a remote mysql server as dialplan backend) but can't configure properly the odbc on pfsense.
                                            After adding the driver and the DSN, with isql I receive segmentation fault.
                                            It is a missconfiguration or bug?
