hi all, we do have some troubles with zaptel timing source - we have a setup with 3 telco PRI lines, connected to asterisk digium card 0 - asterisk does some handling - calls are leaving on digium card 1 - going to a siemens hipath - there is some call handling - some of the calls then are going from the hipath over a qsig line to a bosch integral PBX - handling the rest of the calls.
To be able to get away from the bosch system - we like to put asterisk (1 port free on each card) in the middle of the path siemens -> bosch - so that it will be siemens -> card 0 asterisk card 1 -> bosch. Currently the Siemens hipath is playing the network side - the bosch is cpe. So the siemens hipath does provide the timing source. With asterisk in the middle i can not take the timing source from the siemens link - because i have already the telco line as timing source. But when starting it in this setup - i will get lots of "timing source auto card 0!" messages. So i think the siemens timing is not in sync. with the telco timing - so mixed up on asterisk with telco line as primary timing will not work when the siemens does try to deliver timing. I have not tried as /etc/zaptel.conf parameter 0 als timing parameter (0 = be master) - but i think it wont work because the siemens wont accept the timing from the asterisk box. Changing configuration of the siemens is not possible. So - here the questions... - is it possible to do what i want to do ? - do you think timing=0 in zaptel.conf will work ? - would it be possible to connect a xorcom 2 PRI channel bank to asterisk to handle the qsig line between the two ? Or will the xorcom then also take the timing from the digum cards - telco lines ? any hints would be nice... many thanks Wolfgang _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
