Re: [on-asterisk] Monitor Bandwidth
MRTG will give you aggregate bandwidth by interface. Fedora or CentOS have it pre-installed. Zabbix will give you tons of detail on a host, including aggregate bandwidth by interface. More work to implement but can monitor, graph and alert on almost anything on any OS for your entire network. You would need something like ntop to break down the bandwidth usage by remote host. regards, Drew Jason Rose wrote: Hey all, I finally put on fail2ban - its been great keeping people from bogging down my * install. I have now been hitting and exceeding my rogers bandwidth cap as was wondering if there is a way I can monitor bandwidth used on that box (without a managed switch)?

RE: [on-asterisk] Can a 416 number be ported over as a DID onto a 905 PRI link from Bell Canada? Reps tell me NO and I don't understand why.
You can only port a number to a PRI if it is in the same rate centre as the PRI. That's standard practice for all telcos, except for some that may offer virtual multi-rate-centre PRIs (usually for an extra fee). Use localcallingguide.com to look up the rate centres of your current DIDs and any DIDs you are interested in porting. -- Nabeel Jafferali X2 Networks Inc. -Original Message- From: Bruce N [mailto:het...@hotmail.com] Sent: October-08-10 3:48 PM To: asterisk Mailing Subject: [on-asterisk] Can a 416 number be ported over as a DID onto a 905 PRI link from Bell Canada? Reps tell me NO and I don't understand why. Hi Everyone, Just got off the phone with a Bell Canada PRI rep and was disappointed when she told me that a 905-686- and 416-686- number can not be ported over to a PRI link which is sourced from the Melton exchange 905-405-x. Both the 416-686 and 905-686 are currently SNR from Bell Canada. The reason was that none of these numbers are from the same exchange and that NEVER a 416 can come onto a 905 PRI. I understand the rationality behind different exchanges but I thought this wouldn't be a problem if it was brought over as a DID. Previously we asked Bell Canada to port over a MALTON010MD switch number (belongs to Allstream) to Bell Canada switch MALTON22CG1 and they said it's not possible as a standalone business number but then they were able to bring it over as a DID onto the MALTON22CG1 and take it away from Allstream. So, in practice, it's possible to change switches and even snatch it from another provider. I don't see why they won't bring over a 416 or 905-686 that belongs to Ajax-Pickering over to a Malton switch. Do Rate Centers determine the portability rather than the switches whereabouts? Are they only doing because their billing system is not capable of tracking calls if numbers are moved to different rate centers? Can someone please shed light on it or let me know if I was talking to a rep who was misinformed? Also, we can try to port this number out to a third party and then port it back into Bell if that makes a difference or if it makes them accept it.

As a CLEC, we offer forwarding back to the PSTN on a per concurrent channel basis for this type of stuff. Before doing so, we need to know the expected channel volume and type of business (ie, our rates are SIGNIFICANTLY higher for call centres).

Re: [on-asterisk] Ring voltage for Bell phonelines?
Thanks Jim. I'm surprised it is this high. I think our BEP clamps at 240V, so I guess that is proper for telco lines. I thought it was lower though to be honest.. but as long as our FXS ports can handle up to the 240V charge I'm ok. FYI for anyone using a FXO card in areas that get hit by lightning - BEP's work very well. Previously we had a card that got fried 3 times in one summer from lightning (it even melted some components on the card), but now its been up for two years without going down, and apparently 240V clamping digital modules is sufficient for it. Don't quote me on that though.

High voltage. Very low amperage. On 10/8/2010 4:06 PM, Steven McCann wrote: Thanks Jim. I'm surprised it is this high. I think our BEP clamps at 240V, so I guess that is proper for telco lines.

Re: [on-asterisk] Has anyone installed any Asterisk onto Acer Revo?
Your best bet may be to install PIAF from a USB key onto the Acer Revo. I have done USB installs as a matter of research and have a link to a how-to on another computer. I did a quick Google search and found this link that may be of help. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1496200 It appears similar to what I did. That HP USB Disk Format tool is a handy thing to keep around as well. Have a look and I'm sure others will add to this as time passes maybe even as I am replying.

I think the easy way is download the http://iso2usb.sourceforge.net/ http://iso2usb.sourceforge.net/Then Run the Program Point the PIAF ISO image location It will automatically recognize the usb and create a Boot able USB with the PIAF image This should work.
