Hi,

I tried hunting for a little more info. I think all that happens with this is they use the Q.421 spec for handling the ABCD bits, and then simply send the DNIS through as DTMF after the seize if acknowledged. That means they loose some of the functionality of real R2 signalling - e.g. no busy, NU, or congestion detection. It wouldn't take a lot of work to implement that.

Regards,
Steve

Hi Jesus,

The Cisco kit, and one or two other products, offer an R2 digital using DTMF mode, but this is the first time I have heard of it being used. The spec for this is definitely not Q.421. That spec does not mention DTMF at all. R2 using DTMF doesn't appear to be in the ITU specs, as far as I can tell. Without a spec, or any equipment to play with, there isn't a lot I can do right now.

Hi Steve:

 Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it..

My provider is CANTV in Venezuela. There's a venezuelan variant in the code and I'm using that. Incoming works perfectly, outgoing is not working. I'm being told that incoming is MFCR2 but outgoing is R2-Digital with DNIS DTMF. There is a Cisco router working and it's using the following:

r2-digital-dtmf-dnis R2 ITU Q421 DTMF tone signaling with DNIS


What's the equivalent in libmfcr2 and Unicall?

Again, thank you for your help and your code!

    Hi Jesus,

    FX is not a variant of R2. It is a completely different signalling
    protocol. This means your service provider is using R2 for some of
    your
    channels, and providing all your incoming calls on those channels.
    It is
use FX signalling for other channels, and you must make your outgoing
    calls there. Someone else told be about a similar configuration. I
    think
    they were able to use chan_zap for the other channels, and make
    use of
    its FX signalling features. I am not sure how that works, as FX
    signalling over E1s is far from standardised.

    Regards,
    Steve
