What is Voice-Over-IP - VoIP?

2006-10-02T11:21:00.000-05:00

Our pages that explain a little bit about it are at:
http://iglobalink.com/whatisvoip.htm and
http://iglobalink.net/voice_over_ip_facts.html

Basically, it's using the internet for phone calls, but you can use a
regular telephone at either or both ends of the call and it will work. Most
of the time, we work with the service where people use the special adapter
box, which they plug into their high-speed internet access, and then into a
regular telephone. You might want that for family or friends back home, but
I'm not sure if it would be practical for you guys to carry around the
little adapter box and find places will let you plug in....it's not very
big, but not sure how many places you go would have the high-speed
connection you'd need. Of course, if it was feasible to carry it with you,
then you could call for free from literally anywhere in the world where you
had high-speed internet access, so at least probably most cities. And then
you'd have a number which your family and friends could call you at for
free, or at least for the price of a US phone call.

You could use any telephone, and call into the call center, and then connect
to whatever number you want to call, pretty much like any calling card. The
best benefit on cost is whenever you happen to be in a local calling area
for the major cities that are our calling portals. The link that has all
those is at: http://iglobalink.com/calling_cards.htm.
But, you could still use it if you call into the 800# portal. And, you
could still save some money in some areas, like if you were in Malaysia: we
don't have a Malaysia number, but it would be cheaper to call a Singapore
number, which we do have, than to call the US directly.

By the way, one nice feature is that when people leave you voicemail at the
designated number, it will send an email to you with a wave file so you can
hear messages that way. So even if you were just at an internet café, you
could get your messages (probably cheaper than calling somewhere.) Some
people like the service just for this feature.

We also do web hosting, website marketing, etc. Basically, anything you see
on our main website at http://www.iglobalink.net/ is fair game.

Faxing via VoIP Compatibility Issues

2006-09-22T10:53:00.001-05:00

Please note that we can not guarantee that it is going to work with all fax
machines.
Here is the procedure:

For free IP to IP faxing, both the sender and receiver need to be Globalink
members and have their fax machines attached to IP analog telephone adapters
(ATAs).

In order to send a fax to a PSTN (traditional) fax machine, you will need to
have at least a Premium Membership account as well as an ATA device such as
Cisco ATA 186 or Sipura connected to your fax machine.

One other important factor when faxing over VoIP is the quality and speed of
your Internet connection. Since fax data cannot be compressed, the G711u/a
CODEC must be used. This codec requires a minimum of 64Kb/s in both
directions to be reliable, but we recommend more than 90Kb/s.

Simultaneoudly Forward the VN in the control panel(step 1) to your known
good VN. Then call the VN and the DID. When your phone rings without
issue, it means there is no issue with either the VN or DID, but the devices
is not taking the call. Generally you must reset the device to manufacturer
default settings and reconfigure. Dial **** then 73738 1 to confirm.

Cron to clear out the users trash folders

2006-09-22T10:43:00.001-05:00

The cron to clear out the users trash folders is:

* * 28 * * cat /dev/null > /home/*/Mail/Junk

Since some of the users do not have a Mail folder you may get some errors
when adding this to the crontab. However it will still work for the other
users that do have the correct path setup.

VoIP Error #205 for Phone Registration

2006-09-22T10:43:00.000-05:00

The system has detected a PSTN call from an IP Phone (UA) that is not
registered correctly. To prevent abuse, all UA's must register with our
proxy server before they can place a PSTN call. Common reasons for your UA
not to be registered are:

PROBLEM: Incorrectly set USERID (phone number) or PASSWORD in the UA
SOLUTION: Make sure your USERID and PASSWORD are set correctly. Re-enter
them if necessary.

PROBLEM: "Registration" is set to "Never" or "No" in the UA's configuration
SOLUTION: Modify your UA's configuration to force it to register before
placing a call.

PROBLEM: Call placed too soon after registration
SOLUTION: Wait at least 5 seconds after successful registration before
making a PSTN call.

This only needs to be on the root bridge as the non root with never
allow any thing to association to it. So lets remove on the non root.

access-list 700 permit 0013.6011.7e90 ffff.ffff.ffff
access-list 700 deny 0000.0000.0000 ffff.ffff.ffff

-OR-

Mac authentication association with device(s) in its 'local list' of mac
address.
And we will enter just one 0013.6011.7e90 on the root bridge.

Remove the filter list off of the root bridge.
Start with non root first.
Only change needed here is to change the authentication method used by
the ssid. click on SSID Manager and then from this page, highlight your
ssid and then use the pull down box next to open authecntion and select
with Mac Authentication and then apply this change.

And on the Root Bridge, enter the mac address of the non root:
0013.6011.7e90
Under the Security section and then under Advance Security.
Enter the mac in the New MAC Address box and then click apply.
Then click on SSID Manager and then from this page, highlight your ssid
and then use the pull down box next to open authentication and select
with Maca Authentication and then apply this change.

3 more changes on the root.
1) From the SSID Manager page, scroll down to the bottom and check mark
the box for the Force Infrastructure client, then apply
2) Same page almost same spot unselect your ssid from the guest pull
down box. And then apply, this will broadcast the ssid, not need in a
point to point bridge link.
3)Data rates are currently set to best range. Lets match them with the
other side and select Default data rates under the Interface Setting
Page.

Using nslookup, dig, and host

2006-09-21T12:14:00.003-05:00

http://docsrv.sco.com/NET_tcpip/dnsC.nslook.html

Configuring Domain Name System (DNS) servers

Using nslookup, dig, and host

nslookup, dig, and host are useful commands that allow you to perform DNS queries, and to test out your DNS configuration.

You can use the nslookup command interactively to enter a shell from which you can change servers, set query options, and debug DNS. You can also use nslookup non-interactively from the command line to issue simple queries. See nslookup(1Mtcp) for more information.

dig is another useful command line tool which you can use to gather information from DNS servers. See dig(1Mtcp) for more information.

Finally, you can use the host command to provide answers to simple host queries. See host(1Mtcp) for more information.

Using nslookup interactively

Enter nslookup at the command line. The nslookup prompt appears.
View the current options by entering set all.
Change any desired options by entering set option.
Issue nslookup commands.
Enter exit to leave nslookup.

For a list of sample commands, see ``nslookup interactive commands''. For a list of options, see ``nslookup interactive options''.

nslookup interactive commands

These sample commands are available from the nslookup shell:

volga: Return the IP address of volga.
172.16.118.1: Return the name matching the IP address you enter.
set querytype=ns: Set the query type to the Name Server record. Future queries of names and IP addresses return the NS record from that host.
set querytype=a: Restore the query type to the Address record.
server server: Make server the default server that is queried.

nslookup interactive options

Here are the commonly used options of nslookup. For a complete list, see the manual page for nslookup(1Mtcp).

[no]recurse: Sets the query type to recursive. When toggled to norecurse, nslookup performs iterative queries.
querytype=type: Sets the query type to the DNS data type specified. Common types include a (Address), any (any data type), mx (Mail Exchanger), and ns (Name Server).
retry=n: Resends the query n times before giving up.
root=root server: Sets the root server to the server you enter.
timeout=n: The period of time nslookup waits for a response after the query is sent. This period doubles between each retry.

You can save any of these options in a .nslookuprc file in your home directory. The format of this file, which is searched for each time you invoke nslookup, is one set command per line. Here is an example, which sets the query type to address records, the domain to mynet.com, and sets the timeout on requests to 10 seconds:

   set querytype=a    set domain=mynet.com    set timeout=10

Querying a single name or address

To issue a simple query from the command line, use one of the following forms of the command:

nslookup name

nslookup IP_address

nslookup should return the desired answer by querying the default server. To query a different server, enter one of the following forms of the command:

nslookup name server

nslookup IP_address server

Examples of using the dig command

Obtain the latest list of root domain servers:

dig . ns

Find out the name servers for a zone:

dig @server domain ns

Request all records for a zone from an authoritative server:

dig @server domain axfr

NOTE: This command requires a zone transfer which the server may disallow.

Look up the domain name corresponding to the IP address 172.16.118.1:

dig -x 172.16.118.1

Examples of using the host command

Use host to find all the host records for a zone:

host -l domain

Use host to request all the records for a zone:

host -lv -t any domain

NOTE: These commands require a zone transfer which the server may disallow.

How to use FTP

2006-09-21T12:14:00.002-05:00

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It lets you connect to a remote computer, such as our hosting server. Then you can move files from your machine to the remote one and create folders for those files on that computer. The best way to learn about File Transfer Protocol is to use it. You will find several free FTP clients at www.download.com.

You will need to download a free ftp client software before you can connect to our server.

Here is a link to how to use ftp:-

Here is a good link about how to configure server :-

http://www.windowsforms.net/FAQs/default.aspx?PageID=3&CategoryID=24&SubCategoryID=26

No. “ClickOnce” does not use any special protocols to transfer files. So you can use a regular file share, IIS or any web server. If you are using a web server, there are a few additional considerations. First, you may need to configure the MIME type (application/deployment) for the .application extension. Second, you may need to configure your server to unblock any restricted file extensions used by your app, such as .exe, .dll, .config., manifest, etc. Third, if you want to use HTTP compression, you will need IIS6 and HTTP 1.1.

System Restore & Virus Issues

2006-09-21T12:04:00.001-05:00

Disabling System Restore

If you are running Windows Windows XP, we recommend that you temporarily
turn off System Restore. Windows XP uses this feature, which is enabled by
default, to restore the files on your computer in case they become damaged.
If a virus, worm, or Trojan infects a computer, System Restore may back up
the virus, worm, or Trojan on the computer.

Windows prevents outside programs, including antivirus programs, from
modifying System Restore. Therefore, antivirus programs or tools cannot
remove threats in the System Restore folder. As a result, System Restore has
the potential of restoring an infected file on your computer, even after you
have cleaned the infected files from all the other locations.

Also, a virus scan may detect a threat in the System Restore folder even
though you have removed the threat.

For instructions on how to turn off System Restore, read your Windows
documentation, or one of the following articles:

"How to turn off or turn on Windows XP System Restore"
