[Asterisk-Users] Aggressive Echo Suppression
Title: Aggressive Echo Suppression Hi everyone, I have been experimenting with aggressive echo suppression (as defined in zconfig.h) in order to eliminate the infrequent but still disturbing echo that we get with our cisco 7940 phones - asterisk - PRI configuration. Unfortunetely it seems that with the flag on any given call drops after 3 minutes, guaranteed. This happened with both the older production version cvs 03/18/04 which prior to the changes had an over two month uptime, and cvs as of last night. Also just as a matter of interest, anyway to recompile and deploy zaptel / libpri without restarting asterisk? Matt
[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940/60 sip downloads
Title: Cisco 7940/60 sip downloads I know this has been hashed out ad nauseum over time but I am interested in getting the SIP firmware for the 7940/60 and the associated minimal contracts for that software but am just getting the runaround from cisco. The wiki was helpful, and some of the comments here have been useful also but I would rather not deal with a reseller if at all possible. Other suggestions / experiences? Off list is fine, thanks very much. Matt
[Asterisk-Users] Avaya Partner Phones to SIP?
Title: Avaya Partner Phones to SIP? I remember someone posting here some time ago about commercial offerings for taking channel banks of Avaya partner phones and turning them into asterisk compatible (SIP?) devices, but I can't seem to find a reference to the hardware manufacturer or specific experiences. Would anyone care to enlighten me? Off list is fine if this is a repeat, thanks very much. Matt

Title: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Lucent and ISDN-PRI That document certainly is informative, thanks. I actually went with a tn464F that I happen to have and from the lucent side I have no problem setting it up as a signaling trunk group.

When I try to dial the asterisk via the Feature access code I defined on the definity I don't get any sign of a connection.

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Integration with Lucent Definity g3si
Title: Asterisk Integration with Lucent Definity g3si Hi everyone, We have been working with Asterisk for a while now and would really like to expand its capabilities by fully integrating it with our Definity g3si and are wondering about other peoples experiences with similar setups. Thus far we have only been able to achieve a partial 1 way integration, but ultimately would love to route inbound voip calls to the asterisk out of the lucent. Obviously the tighter the integration we can get the better we can leverage our existing resources and start migrating aspects of our operations to voip entirely. Comments and suggestions from you definity experts out there are very appreciated. The setup: Asterisk 0.7.0 on a vanilla gentoo box with a configured T100P digium card hooked up directly without csu to a TN464 DS1 interface card. With alot of experimentation it connects (With some timing sync issues) with the following settings on the DS1: Bit rate: 1.544 line coding: ami-basic line compensation: 1 framing mode: d4 signalling mode: robbed bit Interface companding: mulaw idle code: slip detect: n near-end CSU type: other We then set up a trunk group, but I believe because of the limitations of the card/setup we can only use group type: co which limits us to outbound on the trunk, or inbound to 1 mapped extension, no DID or more advanced switching. The temporary solution to this has been to use some of the lucents built in vectoring capabilities to send specific extensions to the asterisk. Any recommendations for increasing our integration? Cards/setup etc? Thanks very much. Being able to send voip calls on the asterisk to queues on the Lucent would be fantastic. Matt
