[on-asterisk] TAUG Workshop Meeting: Wed Nov 26th, 2008; Elastix
This Wednesday, we are hosting an Elastix workshop and talk arranged by Cigear[1] and sponsored by Sangoma Inc.[2] Jose Landivar, co-founder of PaloSanto Solutions[3], creators of Elastix, will be running a getting started workshop on Elastix, followed by a talk discussing how it differs from other Asterisk-based distributions, and a road map of the project's future. Elastix[4] is an open source asterisk-based linux telephony appliance that integrates tools such as OpenFire IM Server, SugarCRM, mail services, and billing software into a single, easy-to-use interface. It also adds its own set of utilities and allows for the creation of third party modules. Registration is requested for the workshop, sign up at: http://taug.ca/node/174 No registration is required for the talk. When: This Wednesday November 26th, 2008 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm: WORKSHOP - Getting Started with Elastix (reg. req.) 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm: TALK - Integrated Communications with Elastix Where: Committee Room 3 North York Civic Centre (in Mel Lastman Square) 5100 Yonge St., North York, ON Map link: http://xrl.us/hqbw The entrance into the conference area is well back from the road, just in front of the fountains/skating rink. Driving: The North York Civic Centre (in Mel Lastman Square) is located on the West side of Yonge Street, just North of Yonge and Sheppard. There is plenty of (P)arking behind the building at 180 Beecroft Road, or underneath Empress Walk (entrance is off of Yonge and Emwood Ave.) TTC: The North York Civic Centre (in Mel Lastman Square) is located at the North York Centre subway stop, one stop North of Sheppard Station. Afterwards, we will progress to a nearby pub.

[on-asterisk] Underground conduit design (for fiber optics) help
Hello, I'm running some conduit between buildings (to later install fiber) and there's a few items I'm not sure about. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with running conduit underground? Here's a few specifics of the plan: -we're using 2 PVC DUCT conduit -the buildings we are connection are around 600-800ft apart. The plan is to put a pull station every 300ft or so. The runs are fairly straight. -we're burying the conduit about 36, so its below the frost line -considering using underground pulling boxes in the middle of runs and wall/post mounted enclosures at buildings (which will also store slack fiber) There's a few details I'm not sure about: -what type of boxes are available to mount outside buildings where the conduit comes up to - the conduit is going to be used to run indoor/outdoor fiber. I would like to have maybe 50ft or so excess fiber coiled up outside the building in the box where the conduit comes up out of the ground -any specifics on mounting the box on buildings to allow easy pulling -suggestions for methods to setup pulling stations in the ground to allow easy pulling and excess fiber storage. I can sketch out the site plan and other plans if it would be helpful. Thanks, Steven --- cell: 416-618-1354
Re: [on-asterisk] Underground conduit design (for fiber optics) help
Steven: We have some underground fiber projects going on right now. If you send me the sketches I would be happy to look at them for you. For your conduit, are you using 10ft sections that you are gluing together or are you using the HDPE style that comes in rolls? How many conduits are you running? I'd run at least 2 even if you don't think that you will use it in the future. The cost of conduit is minimal compared to the cost of trenching. Conduits (especially when built with 10 ft sections) can easily become blocked. 800ft is not a long run at all. Unless there is a really good reason for pull boxes or flush-to-grade enclosures I would just do it in one long shot. Reasons for putting a pull box in would be multiple bends greater than 90 degrees, or possibility of splicing (teeing off) to another building in the future. Are the buildings on the same property? If not, there may be permitting issues as well.
