I'm setting up some higher end security systems for a client. I'm using blue iris (his request) which has alot of great options for alerting you via cell phone or POTS telephone call. Unfortunately the building is 100% VoIP with no POTS and the camera server is in that building. I want it to ring a house number via a Automated VOIP call when an event is triggered in blue Iris then play a pre-recorded message.
We have a couple of Asterisk/Elastix PBXes in the company. I'm not sure how to proceeded:
Blus iris event triggered, it sends message/request/alert to a extension on the PBX
PBX makes the automated call to the group of numbers whenever that extension is dialed/contacted/triggered/etc.
I'd use an external script file (PHP, Ruby, BASH) to generate your call request on the PBX. See my answer at [
Asterisk AGI - Originate a call using php agi
] for more details. However, what you're doing is entirely possible, as I do it myself for a couple of different solution sets.
Essentially, and most easily, you'd generate a call file via script and within it ensure you have a couple of channel variables set that are keys for specific routing. When the call connects at the far end, the near end goes into a dialplan on the ASTPBX where exactly what message is played, after-message behaviour, etc, is managed by the channel variables you've set.

I am currently using Twilio Studio to build a customer service process that allows clients to make calls to a Twilio number, which redirects to representatives.
How can I allow clients to send a voice message (voicemail) if the call is not picked up or if the call is not within working hours. Thanks!

With the Connect Call To widget you can connect further widgets after either the call ending or the caller hanging up. In your case, you need to decide whether the call ended successfully or because the call wasn't picked up. You can do this by adding a Split Based On widget after the Connected Call Ended transition and testing on the DialCallStatus.
DialCallStatus can be any of completed, answered, busy, no-answer, failed, or canceled. In your case you are looking for "no-answer". You can use the Split widget to direct the flow onto the Record Voicemail widget when that happens.
As for calls not within working hours, that is a bit more complicated. To get the current time and compare to working hours will require you to run some code. You can do this with a Twilio Function, for example. There is an example application in the Twilio Code Exchange that implements this functionality but you would need to adjust it to use within your Studio Flow.
i doing a simple application that able to integrate with GSM Modem to send and receive the SMS. i had completed the send SMS part, but i not able to receive the SMS. i get error message said that my SIM card memory is full when trying to send the SMS with other mobile device to my SIM card in the GSM Modem. i tried to use the AT command "AT+CMGL" to remove all the messages, but still same. May i know there are any method to store the message in my computer memory so that i able to receive the SMS with my GSM Modem. I using the sample code from here
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/38705/Send-and-Read-SMS-through-a-GSM-Modem-using-AT-Com
The AT+CMGL command is for listing messages, not deleting them. Deleting messages is done with the AT+CMGD command. Do yourself a favour and download a copy of the 3GPP 27.005 standard, it defines all the standard sms AT commands (most other mobile phone AT commands are defined in 27.007), and by all means get a copy of the ITU standard V.250 which defines the basic command syntax, structure and behaviour for AT commands - an absolute must read for anyone that issues AT commands (read all of chapter 5 at least). These documents are more valuable than any random internet web site, including stackoverflow.
Speaking of random websites, the web page you linked as source seems to be of dubious value. It gives an example function DeleteMsg which issues AT+CMGF=1 but this command does in no way delete anything, it selects text or PDU mode for the various sms related commands.
It does have response handling that is better than the horrible send-sleep-read mistake that unfortunately is not as uncommon as it ought to be, but it is only half decent and not robust at all.
After sending an AT command to a modem you should continuously read and parse response lines from the modem (over and over again) until you receive a final result code (and not just once). See this answer for details.
All of the the message commands operate on the storage location set by AT+CPMS. And notice that you should always set <mem1> and <mem2> at the same time, e.g.
AT+CPMS="SM","SM"
It both makes little sense to only change one of mem1/mem2, and some phones do not like attempts to set only one of them.
I was tasked with devising a solution to initiate a voice call using a GSM Modem programmatically. The call will be initiated via an API and play and audio file or just ring a number and then drop the call. This is to be used to notify staff during the night about critical alarms on the network.
Does anyone know of a solution or worked on something similar?
GSM network modem with SIM Card is to be used.
I'm not sure the staff will appreciate an autodialer like feature, rather than a text or other message, but as this is your requirement I am guessing your customer must have already made the decision.
One good approach for which there is plenty of documentation is to use an Asterisk based solution.
If you are not familiar with it, Asterisk is a open source PBX which is capable of connecting, initiating and receiving calls.
There are several firms that made GSM/UMTS interfaces cards that you can host in a standard server/PC and use as you have described above (you want to make regular GSM voice calls not VoIP over data over a GSM model I am assuming).
Some specific info on your use case is here for example:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+auto-dial+out+deliver+message
If a call is incoming when using a Client Browser (twilio.js) and I am already connected to an active call in the Client Browser. Client Browser doesn't ring or given any indication of an incoming call while I'm already on a call with someone else.
Is this a bug? What can be done about it so I can tell if there is an incoming call? I need to be able to answer that 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc... incoming call should I have multiple people calling my Twilio number at the same time.
Kind of a late reply but you can use the Enqueue verb to place your callers in a queue, and then use the REST API with a javascript setInterval to list the callers in the queue. After that you can dequeue them with a Dial method or via the REST API.
We have crafted call-center functionality in node using a similar method where callers are placed in a queue which triggers a setInterval loop that monitors the queue for its members, and also looks for available agents to call.
For anyone interested I have solved this problem for myself, but in a different way to what #Ding suggests.
I'm not sure if the API has changed since this questions but you are able to access multiple Connections from a single Twilio.Device(). See this question for more details: Twilio call routing/management for small customer service team
I know there are various programs that sniff packets like WireShark, but I'm pretty sure you can only view the data. I want to know if it's possible to edit incoming packets. I'm not sure if packets are the right term. I just want to edit incoming data that is recieved through the internet and who's destination is a specific application. Let's say I am playing an online game. As it loads my computer, it is recieving information like "This person has 10 coins in their money pouch". Obviously not exactly like that but you get the point. I would like to be able to change the data so it is say 100 instead of 10. I know something like this would be possible if you were to do this: Imagine my computer is connected to the internet with an ethernet cord. There is a device attached to the ethernet cord which recieves the data and changes it and then lets it continue to my computer. I would just like to know if this is possible, and how it could be accomplished.
Thanks!
The way I do it, is one of 2 ways:
1.
If your application supports it set up a HTTP Proxy on your machine and you could software like burp / Fiddler to mess with the data
If not (the protocol is not HTTP) you could use either one of 2 options i'v tried [Both based on Hooking the API calls from the application to the OS]:
EchoMirage software that allow messing around with the packets
[Bit more advanced: ] There is a debugger named OllyDbg which has a plugin named Universal Hooker; it enables to hook any window API function and execute a python script on demend. the uHooker contains examples for how to hook WSASend and WSARecive (which are the API functions used in windows sockets).
