    I have a question about the different SIP servers that are available. I just notice this in the portal:

    SIP Hostname:	sip1.nsw.telecube.com.au (55.84% capacity)
    SIP Hostname: sip2.nsw.telecube.com.au (56.96% capacity)
    SIP Hostname: sip1.vic.telecube.com.au (58.28% capacity)

    Were does

    sip.telecube.com.au [103.193.167.161]
    sip.telecube.net.au [103.193.167.162]

    come into this as the sip servers above are different.

    sip1.nsw.telecube.com.au [103.193.166.33]
    sip2.nsw.telecube.com.au [103.193.166.36]
    sip1.vic.telecube.com.au [103.193.167.53]

    I'm located in QLD so I don't have a local SIP server. I'm guessing it doesn't matter too much which one is used as long as it is not over utilised.

    In QLD you should register to one of the new servers

    sip.telecube.com.au will eventually just be used by IP auth trunks and not registered extensions

    It will eventually be only used for ip auth trunks .. it's not something that is going to happen any time soon though, there'll be plenty of time to make changes.

    We'll just gradually ween everyone off the registration proxy processes and onto the direct hostnames

    I really think you want something more dynamic and automatic than that. Varying the probabilities and hosts in a per state SRV record seems like a reasonable place to start.

    Sometime in the last couple of days my Telecube extension stopped registering. I only noticed it this morning after setting up a Siptalk account and adding it to my Minitar ATA.
    Neither extension is registering. I have not changed any setting on the Telecube extension.
    The servers I am using are sip1.vic.telecube.com.au and sim.siptalk.com.au. I'm located in Adelaide, ISP is iiNet.

    I have rebooted the Minitar, rebooted the router and rebooted everything, but still neither are registering.

    [edit] finally gave up on sorting it out and decided to use spare ATA to eliminate the Minitar or not. Worked fine. Went back to the Minitar, and it worked fine too. Go figure. It's getting old, maybe it just need a rest.

    The indicator lights alongside the extension names no longer turn red on my T46G when any of the W52P extensions are in use. This was always the case before the recent tech problems. I have not changed anything at my end except the URL under instructions from the Telecube Team. My current SIP server is sip1.vic.telecube.com.au

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm finding BLF stops working every couple of days. Sometimes a reboot of the handsets fixes it, but other times it does not.

    Would be great to have it work as we have people interstate and it's good to see when they're on the phone.

    All extensions are registered to the same SIP server.

    No, that's not correct. The option to set the DID as Caller ID means what you see as the Caller ID when the extension rings. The idea is that for set-ups with multiple DIDs pointing to the same queue you can see which DID the call is coming in on. If you set this to off, you will see the calling person's Caller ID.

    I think maybe you mean "Incoming DID as Caller ID".

    Regional routing for 1300 numbers seems to be back but it's not ringing the extensions configured. It's skipping the first answer point (extension) and going straight to the voicemail.

    I am currently getting a message "Your call cannot be completed due to a temporary error" when trying to make an international call (tried both India and US). This occurs both from Asterisk and the Cloud softphone. International calls have been enabled in the portal.

    Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Anyone else still having ex-Optus DID problems? Ours didn't come back online on the 20th June, so raised a ticket [#226-879-331] and was advised it would be sorted on the 30th June, but it is still not working. It was originally a Telstra number, ported to Optus and then onto Telecube. I still get DID Outage emails when someone tries to call it (which was handy during the election campaign), but would be good to get it working again soon :)

    Has anyone here figured out how to use the Intercom features of Yealink with Telecube?

    I can call the extensions just fine, have made DSSKeys with Type: Intercom, and "Accept Intercom" is enabled in the target phone's Yealink receiving settings.

    However, the target phone just rings and rings till someone picks up to answer � no intercom. I tried to add *50 to the number (won't make the call if I do this), and tried it as an extension with BLF (works like a regular call, no intercom).

    It looks like a workaround is to set the target phone to auto-answer calls � and make a BLF DSSKey on other phones to call it. However, this works only if you don't make it part of a ring group or hunt group, otherwise it will answer all the calls.

    How long do voicemail greetings uploaded via the web site take to kick in? I set them at 4.30 this afternoon and they haven't kicked in yet (no voicemail message at all played, previously was the default "the person at extension XXXXX... ").

    If you dial the extension, they are free. If you dial the DID, it will be charged.

    With TC the calls seem to go into the pstn system ( hence the local call charge ) then back in via the DID. With MNF for example the call stays within their system ( on-net) and it remains an ext-ext call and no charge. It just depends on how the vsp has set it up.

    No, DID to DID calls are charged.
    For free calls between extensions either dial the extension number or set up three-digit aliases and dial these.

  • Ali G

    Thank you for clearing that up guys...
    I'd rather pay not to remember the extensions

  • Habakkuk

    Extensions on the same account can be assigned a three-digit alias.
    For example, say you have two extensions 1234567 and 6424743. You can assign them as 201 and 202 respectively. Then just dial those numbers to call the extensions, for free.

    Hello all. I'm using a VG3631 which has two sip accounts configured. One passes through the callerID of the caller, but calls to my telecube hosted DID appear to the handset, and to the modem call log, to have my DID number as the caller ID. Looking in my call logs in telecube 'My Account' page I can see the real caller IDs however.

    Any ideas how i can get the real caller ID?

    Is anyone else seeing strange media offer behaviour that does not match the 'codec order' specified in the DID configuration on telecube site? It appears Telecube always prioritises ULAW above everything else if it is listed as an allowed codec. If ULAW is not listed, things work as configured.

    When codec order first field is ULAW, first offer codec in the SIP Invite packet is PCMU
    When codec order first field is G722 and second codec is ULAW, first offer codec in the SIP Invite packet is PCMU. This represents a defect.
    When codec order first field is G722 and third codec is ULAW, first offer codec in the SIP Invite packet is PCMU. This represents a defect.
    When codec order first field is G722 and fourth codec is ULAW, first offer codec in the SIP Invite packet is PCMU. This represents a defect.
    When codec order first field is G722 and fifth codec is ULAW, first offer codec in the SIP Invite packet is PCMU. This represents a defect.

    When codec order first field is G722 and ULAW is not listed as the second, third, fourth of fifth codec, then the first offered codec in the SIP Invite packet is G722. Behaviour is correct.

    Anyone else seeing this? Any workarounds other than removing ULAW from the allowed list of codecs?

    See screenshots of telecube config and associated packet capture.

    Yes the actual codec order for an incoming call doesn't necessarily match the setting in the portal and never has. I actually like G711u media so I have put my portal order as Ulaw/Alaw/G722 and an Invite coming from a TC DID always offers codecs in this order so I accept PCMU and the call proceeds with G711u media.

  • 2016-Jul-24, 9:48 pm
    beaco

    It's very odd. Everything seems to works as it should until you add the G711U codec and all of a sudden it overtakes everything. Very annoying that it's not documented. I wasted quite some time checking config, testing and re-checking but in the end it looks like a known unpublished telecube defect.

    Maybe there is a reason for it and John will chime in.

    Hi,

    tried to make an International Call. It wouldn't allow me to do this. This is the second time this has happened.

    So I checked my account on the telecube site, and the status is both ACTIVE and ONLINE.

    Then went to my gigaset config page, and it's status is REGISTRATION FAILED.

    Why is telecube's platform so unstable? Why are the settings dropping out so often?

    Really, all we want is to be able to make the odd phone call whenever we need to. I can understand the odd problem, but this seems to be regular and ongoing. Why?

    What settings do I need to add now, in order for the registration to be active within my gigaset config page?

    Getting too hard if you ask me and not worth the trouble.

    I'm not having any issues with registration instability on either a Gigaset C470 or a Fritz!Box.

    In the C470 I set the following settings:

    • Authentication Name: Extension number
    • Authentication password: Extension password
    • Username: Extension number
    • Display name: Extension number

    The system can't make calls as it's registration keeps falling off the perch. So how can I make a call if it is not registered?

    I'm not having any issues with registration instability on either a Gigaset C470 or a Fritz!Box.

    In the C470 I set the following settings:

    Authentication Name: Extension number
    Authentication password: Extension password
    Username: Extension number
    Display name: Extension number

    Domain: sip1.nsw.telecube.com.au
    Proxy Server address: sip1.nsw.telecube.com.au
    Registrar server: sip1.nsw.telecube.com.au

    Everything else I left as default.

    Thank you for your settings.

    I changed them to reflect yours, but unfortunately it still didn't work.

    There were some notable differences though. My sip goes through Vic so I left that as is. I did have some unusual number in the authentication name which is probably my account number but that is what support told me to put there and it did work for a while.

    So I changed that to my extension number with my area code as well.

    Is the area code also required, or not?

    Call records are still showing extra info such as codec, IP etc.

    Seems to currently be happening with international calls.

    Can this be removed as it serves no real purpose and hogs space on the call records page.

    Hi forum members � I have an strange issue and thought I would start here.

    Setup is Telecube and MNF on a Fritz7390 and 2 voip handsets.- 1 each to the voip accounts.

    I can call out on each on each voip account ok. The fritz has a facility where I can dial a Preselection code from a handset to call out on a different provider. This has worked in the past � but not now. This is great if you want to use a different provider for different rates.

    EG: if I take the handset registered to the MNF a/c and dial the Preselection code for Telecube, I get a dial tone (and it shows the telecube extension), but when I call a number, I get a busy signal and call rejected.

    If I change the handset to register with Telecube � the call goes thru. Has anyone experienced this receently with telecube?

    Maybe but we use office365 and usually its instantly. Strangely enough the original still hasn't come through but others AFTER this time have come through. Looks like some are not making it at all? Im going to go back tomorrow and check since when this has been happening. I'd guess at least a week judging by some of the patterns Im seeing.

    I've just setup a 1300 number and set a basic route to an existing extension (which is registered to our Asterisk 1.8 PBX). All working fine but Callerid shows number but prepends "Unknown" in front.

    This looks like an Asterisk setup but any suggestions on where to look or a Telecube config change to fix?

    Anyone else having problems calling out? Extensions say they online and active and I get a dial tone from both, but every call gives me a non-connection � not sure if it's an engaged signal or an out-of-order signal. Tried phoning my own mobile and it's the same.

    Thanks for checking Thunderbird1. I found out the problem � my account had gone down to -4c. I'd been overcharged in the previous bill and they'd reversed some of it but it doesn't actually get credited back into your account until the next billing cycle (4 weeks away).

    Interesting to note that if your account goes into the negative you can still register your lines, they all still show up as active, you can still get a dial tone... it just won't complete the call.

    The amount of credit on your account should have no bearing on the actual registration status of your ext/s and rightly so.

    I asked that ages ago, and never ended up doing anything in regards to it (we never ended up getting a 1300 number). IIRC John said that they can set it up manually, but that the number shown will have an extra zero at the front of it. Things might have changed since though.

    Ah fair enough � well the PSTN line is where we get our net from (for now, looking at Cable soon which would make it redundant unless it's kept for emergencies) and you have all the functionality � just thought running part of it locally would be different (i.e. calls between extensions in the same network/subnet)

    As mentioned above, it's invaluable when traveling abroad and finding oneself behind restrictive firewalls. Much better than SIP/RTP at getting through NAT as well.

    Murray from Telecube and I did some testing back in November 2015 using Android Zoiper iLBC with IAX and SIP and we found the quality was unsatisfactory. I forget the details now, but I do remember Murray said he would hand the problem over to John for his attention. I thought there was an incompatibility between Telecube's and Zoiper's implementation of iLBC. Murray and I both observed there were problems with a registered IAX extension on Zoiper dialing to a SIP handset. However, as I said, I can't remember the details now and I've not tried to use Zoiper again.

    Often if SIP is blocked I find VPN (PIA) is blocked also. I used Pennytel over PIA but I have found Telecube does not work even in Australia.

    Perhaps one day, there will be Telecube "calling card" (call thru) access via their own access numbers and importantly via the numerous SIP Broker gateways around the place. ClickNCallNow does.

    These days I pay for a service to make phone calls and I don't want to spend the time experimenting with stuff like SIPbroker, calling cards and especially Skype.

    IAX worked until mid November last year when it was broken when everything was changed for the great password hack. I opened a ticket but that was closed without resolution along with my other open tickets. I opened another ticket a month ago and nothing happened.

    A few days ago, John posted on here that it should be working but I can't get it to work and I got no answer to my questions.

    I leave in a week and now don't have any time to experiment so I will just put some more credit on my TravelSIM and get on with my life.

    We will continue to maintain the Telecube account as a backup including paying the $5 per month minimum but I think it would be better if the ticket system was re-established as the priority for support calls rather than the squeaky wheels on Whirlpool.

    As well as hotel WiFi, I've also been in situations overseas where SIP won't play nicely with the mobile carrier I've been using at the time. Most recently, it was Spark in NZ. Even in Australia, I only get one-way audio if I use the Cloud Softphone when using Optus (Zoiper is OK, though.)

    Since IAX stopped working with Telecube, my fallback when SIP won't work at all is to use IAX and FaktorTel. The rates aren't as good as Telecube, but at least I can count on it.

    John,

    Is there an intercom function/extension on the Telecube system ? I'm trying to find something to implement between our two phones.

    Calls between extensions are free, as long as you call the extension number and not a DID.

    I've already got that setup, i'm looking more at the intercom function that most IP phones can do (i.e. it emits a short beep then opens the other extension's microphone on speaker so you can chat to them without them picking up)

    I think Yealinks have 'Internal auto answer' feature, not guaranteed to work in every situation though. Other phones may have similar functionality.

    Normally this is done through Alert-Info, but you'll need control over your PBX's dial plan to do that.

    John,

    I think I might've mentioned it to you recently, but wanted to check something:

    I'm research the possibility of locally hosting our PBX (using incoming phone lines as opposed the net) but still having a fallback if need be.

    What happens with the 1300 number in terms of becoming a PSTN based number as opposed to IP ? We have an (03) local number which has been (until we get cable on Friday) the backbone for our ADSL but seeing as it frees up, I don't want to give out a new number again, and our 1300 number is a good one :)

    Ah so I can retain the phone number, point it towards our landline .... then does that mean you'd either answer it on a traditional phone (if you chose) or use a local IP PBX ?

    I'm curious about the 2 line FXO machines, meaning you'd have to have a second line for incoming (or two as outgoing, depending on who made the calls) � how would that work with the 1 x 1300 number?

  • 2016-Aug-24, 1:02 pm

    If you're planning to drop the phone line, you should be able to port the number to Telecube after you've cancelled the ADSL service and terminate that to your IP PBX; then you'll pay the same VoIP rate as you are now.

    I'm actually thinking of keeping the phone line as it's part of the package we're getting anyway and could be a good way of making personal calls (keep the business on the 1300 number) OR use it as the incoming for Telecube termination to the local IP PBX.

    We're basically trying to get a better speed/less jitters/delayed/ordinary calls by taking that part of the infrastructure in house if we can.

    Also, for a call terminated to PSTN instead of a VOIP/net connection, is it less prone to dropouts/jitters/delays because it's not going through another process in your local net connection ? I'm curious if the quality to PSTN would be better.

    Is there such a function as roll-over that can be implemented so that if the first PSTN termination is busy that it rings the 2nd PSTN (if we had one in place) but still under the same 1300 number ?

    Use it as a backup and for any free call inclusions. Just remember than cometh the NBN, POTS will be no more.

    Yes, YMMV. If Telecube is hosting the 1300 number there is still an IP connection between its and its upstream providers but it should have good QOS.

    Is there such a function as roll-over that can be implemented so that if the first PSTN termination is busy that it rings the 2nd PSTN (if we had one in place) but still under the same 1300 number ?
    A hunt group from your PSTN provider is the traditional way to do that and will also work with your local number too. Setting a forward on busy on the first line is way to do it without subscribing to a service with each call being charged if not included in a plan. I don't know whether Telecube forwarding can be set up to try another number when the first is busy.

    I noticed that the August invoice was a lot more convoluted than the July one. Whereas the July one was simple to follow, the August invoice had a number of extra entries such as adjustment debits and credits that didn't appear on the July invoice. I think it would be better to keep the invoices as simple as possible.

    Clearly John must be messing around with the DNS config for telecube.net.au

    Can't dial in to PBX on the extension even though it says it's registered...tried from external line and from another telecube extension...

    update: seems to be a strange issue of co-incidence...looks like the PBX itself may be playing up...just added the same sip account to one of the yealink phones instead of the pbx and calling in and out worked like a charm.

    I am really surprised that something like sip.telecube.net.au and sip.telecube.com.au isn't being used as a failover hostname so that it can direct the connection to any one of the 3 servers based on certain criteria like server load or whichever server is appearing up/online.

    Something like this would be far more beneficial to everyone instead of telling them to use just one of the 3 servers.

    At least I know this is how a lot of the VOIP networks are setup when I was working in America sometime ago.

    If this isn't something that happens in Australia, it speaks for itself that Australia is quite a long way behind the times.

    Anyone else having issues with call transfers? I've been having them for months now

    If i reboot my Cyberoam router and power-cycle all the handsets, calls can be transferred fine within our groups for a day or so, but after a variable time, they will start to fail, and instead get "forbidden" messages when pressing the transfer button, or the transfer calls get bounced back to the initiating handset.

    We're using Yealink handsets � they worked fine when TC was using sip.telecube.net.au, but this issue seems to have appeared after we migrated all to sip1.nsw.telecube.com.au and sip2.nsw.telecube.com.au. I've emailed support, no response though.

    Can we still use the old sip.telecube.net.au server address?

    Does it matter if we list sip1.nsw.telecube.com.au and sip2.nsw.telecube.com.au as SIP server 1 and Sip Server 2 in Yealink configs? Or should we only use one of them? I ask because I am wondering if the transfers fail because some of the phones have failed-over from sip1 to sip2, and transfers might only work when all are on the same sip server.

    Sadly my history of successful emailed support requests is not good. The tickets are either closed without resolution or are just not resolved even after nearly a year.

    I am on holidays on the other side of the world and someone from my office sent me an email quoting a problem that was mentioned on whirlpool.

    I quoted John and asked for clarification and Ozimarco linked to another post that did not answer my question to John. The next day John referred me to the same non authoritative post that still didn't answer my question and Ozimarco seemed miffed that I ignored him.

    John has nearly 3800 post on whirlpool and I think I have probably read most of them. I can even point to the posts where he says you will get better response to your logged faults by notifying him here so it certainly does seem to be the main way to get support even if it is not official.

    There is apparently no useful documentation any more and none of the official documentation seems to match reality any more.

    As I said I have circumvented the problem by changing VSP for the time being. In the meantime I am on a boat on the Main-Danube canal and watching the country side drift by and traveling up and down 25 metres in the locks is far more pleasant

    At the moment everyone is on their high horse picking on me and ignoring the fact that I asked a simple question about a statement that John made in a message and two days later have not received an answer.

    O.K. everyone..... let's all take a chill pill.

    @Sweetpea � you posted:

    I'm on a boat in Banburg in Germany and I have been asked to fix this for the office.

    I can do it from here but I have no idea what a proxy service with a static host name is.

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated and I realize it is 0220 there.

    To be fair, you made a statement (not a question) indicating you don't know what a proxy service with a static host name is. Perhaps you inadvertently omitted a ? mark which the statement would then read as a question. Hence all the subsequent responses failed to meet/address your expectations.

    To further complicate matters, you also stated "any suggestions greatly appreciated" which Ozimarco and others put forward to assist you in overcoming your issue.

    Again, the context of your post didn't indicate that you wanted a response specifically from John.

    Judging by all the various comments and responses, it appears that there has been a breakdown in communications between all involved.

    Even I'm prepared to admit that I'm experiencing issues trying to get my head around the whole concept of the various static proxy services.

    So, to put this little anomaly to rest:

    @John � for the benefit of Sweetpea, myself & anyone else that was afraid to ask, can you put up a post that explains the proxy service concept as it pertains to Telecube, how it benefits the customer and maybe include a sample scenario that showcases the concept?

    I had planned a set of sip registration proxy servers behind a single hostname but it didn't scale as expected so I have reverted to single hostnames statically mapped to registration servers, currently 2 in Sydney and 1 in Melbourne.

    sip1.nsw.telecube.com.au
    sip2.nsw.telecube.com.au
    sip1.vic.telecube.com.au

    I am planning to further simplify it to sip1.telecube.com.au, sip2.telecube.com.au, sip3.telecube.com.au .. etc

    At the moment we are having issues with the registration proxy that sip.telecube.net.au is mapped to and people should change to one of the 3 static hostnames

    Doesn't it just boil down to an attempt was made to automatically load balance between various servers.

    It failed and the proxies/servers were exposed to the public for them to determine (based on load percentages) which to use.

    Edit: Beaten. Must increase typing speed.

    I'll give you a tip. When writing a long reply, write a few words or short sentence, then post. Now edit your post. This guarantees that your post will appear before posts from others who do not do it this way.

    I think the current is better as it allows users to pick the closest server.

    Does Cloud Softphone on iOS use sip.telecube.net.au? I was still using it via Siptalk but it kept having registration issues that only started in the last few days. I know its unsupported more curious. I switched to Bria (already had a licence from using it on MNF years ago) and the problem disappeared.

    Also to fix it for people using the old domain why don't you just put multiple A records and let round robin DNS select servers � will make things works for people on the old domain.

    Good thinking .. done. It will break BLF and call parking though if anyone is using it with the cloud soft phone.

    Does it matter if we list sip1.nsw.telecube.com.au and sip2.nsw.telecube.com.au as SIP server 1 and Sip Server 2 in Yealink configs?

    I had issues in my last rollout using different sip servers, both with blf and with transfers. I guess they must not announce their presence properly between different registration servers?

    Anyway, I'd recommend keeping them all the same

    +1. Please retain the state specific domain names John for those of us who wish to differentiate. For me the difference atm is about 10ms.

    I don't think it should be entirely round robin. They should by ordered by closest/least loaded server. For those clients that support it, providing a SRV record would be better. Your current loadings could drive the SRV weights e.g.

    Assume server loads of 60% and 30% the SRV record for sip.nsw.telecube.com.au could return:
    _sip._udp.sip.nsw.telecube.com.au service = 1 75 5060 sip1.nsw.telecube.com.au.
    _sip._udp.sip.nsw.telecube.com.au service = 1 150 5060 sip2.nsw.telecube.com.au.
    _sip._udp.sip.nsw.telecube.com.au service = 2 100 5060 sip.vic.telecube.com.au.

    Connections to the NSW servers are tried first. Connections will be allocated between sip2.nsw and sip1.nsw on a 2:1 basis.
    The weight calculation I have used assigns a weight that is inversely proportional to the relative current load of the server:
    To calculate W1, W2 (75, 150) of the 2 Sydney servers
    Wn = round ((A / Ln) * S)
    A = ( L1 + L2 ... + Ln)/n

    where:
    n is the number of servers: 2
    Ln is the load on server n (must be non-zero!)
    A is the average load across servers
    S is scaling factor for the required digits of precision. Here S = 100 for a minimum precision of 1 digit at 1% load difference.
    gives:
    Wn the relative weight for that server (amongst its peers of equal preference).

    If the load updates are low or the cache long lived consideration should be given to dampening larger weights e.g.
    Wn = round(log(A/Ln*10)*10)

    I've got a question that I don't think is worth submitting a ticket for...

    We've got Yealink T23G handsets, and occasionally when transferring a call to another extension it rings on the destination, but the source says "Transfer failed" and the dialer is returned to source as if they are just on hold. The destination phone continues ringing until you pick it up, but there's no one there.

    What is the most likely cause of this? It works 99% of the time, but in that 1% of the time transfers don't work from the source to any other extension.

    EDIT: The annoying part about it not working, is that it doesn't work at all no matter how many times you try until "some time later". It doesn't seem to help powering the handset off and back on again. Sometimes it's only a matter of a minute or two later and it works fine again.

    We have the same issues with the Yealink W52 handsets. Seems like a random enough occurrence to safely ignore.
