IDEA: I also notice that sometimes eth0,eth1 and eth2 (Yes: i have three network interfaces) interchange on reboot. Are they related? Quite possibly, the registration program for that codec will bind to eth0 and use it as the host ID, if you change ethernetcards or re-number interfaces you will need to re-register the codec. As for the re-ordering of your network cards I would suggest you look into running udev with some rules to keep the order of the cards consistent over reboots. -- Nikolai Lusan # # # Weblog: http://lusan.id.au/~nikolai/blog # Website:http://lusan.id.au/~nikolai # # ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[asterisk-users] Dialplan help - MeetMe and call monitoring
Hi guys, I need to realize a sort of automatic call monitoring dialplan. This is exactly what I need: - A user originate a call - When the call is bridged (or just before) I need to invite automatically a third party to the conversation that should hear the audio channel but not speak (it's a monitoring application for a callcenter) The person in charge of monitoring cannot use ChanSpy or whatever because calls are placed at random hours during the day and its telephone should ring when he needs to listen to a call. I was thining at using a MeetMe in which i'd put both legs of the monitored call and the person who should hear the conversation. Do you have other tips about that ?? Here was my first idea of dialplan to get to it. [outgoing] exten = _X.,1,Noop(Call monitored in MeetMe ${CALLERID(num)}) exten = _X.,n,Answer() exten = _X.,n,Set(_MEETMEROOM=${CALLERID(num)}) exten = _X.,n,Wait(1) exten = _X.,n,Dial(SIP/trunk/${EXTEN}|G(call-third-party^s^1)) [invite-third-party] exten = s,1,MeetMe(${MEETMEROOM},dAxqa) exten = s,2,Dial(SIP/extensionformonitoring|G(bridge-all^s^1)) [bridge-all] exten = s,1,MeetMe(${MEETMEROOM},qdx) exten = s,2,MeetMe(${MEETMEROOM},mqdx) This setup is not working because I cannot call a Dial again on a bridged channel Here is what I get on Asterisk CLI == Starting SIP/180-108c94b0 at call-third-party,s,2 failed so falling back to exten 's' == Starting SIP/180-108c94b0 at call-third-party,s,2 still failed so falling back to context 'default' Do you have some idea to achieve this kind of result ?

Re: [asterisk-users] sip_header=value?
There is a difference bwtween the SPA-941 which is a standalone desktop phone w/ Speakerphone, and your SPA2100 What header value are you trying to set, and why? Because the example I gave is for making the SPA-941 an intercom, and also requires some changes in it's settings within the phones web interface. So of course my example isn't going to anything for your SPA-2100 except give you an example of how to set a SIP header. So now my question becomes, What is it that you are attempting to do by setting the SIP Header? Best Regards, Karl J.

[asterisk-users] help with Sipura SPA 3000
Hi there everyone! I've bought a Sipura SPA 3000, and succesfully connected it to my Mac, where I installed Asterisk 1.4.0. Both ports (FXO and FXS) are well configured). However, living in Brazil, I'd like to know if there are optimal settings to my PSTN that I should enter into the config of the device. I experience a little bit of echo on the FXO probably because I raised the gain of that port because I wasn't sounding loud enough. But there are two things I would like to do with the device, and I'd appreciate if anyone could help me out: 1 - Is there a way to stop cutting other people when I speak through the PSTN? What I mean is that, when sound is captured by my telephone, it dimishes the other peer's voice, and sometimes it makes communication harder, as if the line weren't full duplex. 2 - How can I gain full control to the FXS? I mean, a simple * dialed is not sent for asterisk (the server) interpretation, probably because it's used by Sipura's suplementary services, I don't know. Also, is it possible to get a dial tone from ASterisk, instead of Sipura's? My goal with this is to provide users with direct access to the PSTN line pressing 0, instead of collecting calls and making the call themselves, or at least making ignorepat to work!

The answer partially depends on your hardware. Simultaneous calls can also mean very different things under different circumstances, as the page will tell you. If there is no transcoding/NAT'ing/in-band signaling, simultaneous calls can mean SIP set-ups only. You can see extremely high numbers even on ancient equipment. If everything is in-band and you are using CPU-intensive CODECs, the number will drop sharply. It also varies with types of channels, i.e., whether you use PSTN, IAX, SIP, H.323. But still, I don't think 120 is any limit.

Alejandro, On Tue, 10 Apr 2007, Alejandro Cabrera Obed said something to this effect: 1) Is it enough to install with apt-get the asterisk 1.2 or do I have to get asterisk 1.4 manually ??? I am not sure if the debian release yet contains 1.4.x. It may be safer to compile from source if you want the bleeding-edge version. But 1.2.x works quite well, too, so it's really up to you. I prefer 1.4.x personally at this point, now that it's been hanging out there for a while. 2) Do I have to configure a dummy PSTN interface in my case ?? I am not sure exactly what you mean by dummy PSTN interface, but in principle, the answer is no. However, there are situations in which it may benefit you to have a Digium-derived card in the machine so that the RTC (real-time clock) on it can be used for driving the intervals of hold music, conference calling (MeetMe), etc. But there is also a ztdummy module that can be loaded into the kernel which emulates such an RTC. So, if your intent is purely to use SIP internally, no need for any PSTN. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [asterisk-users] Reverse-ATA : Using PSTN lines to connect to Asterisk
Hi Mike, You should be looking at ATAs that have FXO, rather than FXS interfaces. Most ATAs come with FXS ports so that you can connect analogue phones to them, but in this case you're wanting to take PSTN lines from the outside, so FXO is desirable. Second, you'd have to make sure that the ATA supports the sort of application you're using it for; most are manufactured on the opposite premise. I am actually not sure offhand of any ATA firmware that I know that I imagine would work this way, although I'm confident it exists as consecutive back-to-back analogue-VoIP adaptations in many scenarios can get quite complex and requires that flexibility. Basically, you're looking for a small IP PBX that uses SIP internally among its private nodes and takes PSTN trunks from the outside. That's what PBXs typically do. :-) If all else fails, you can always roll your own functionality of this nature by using FXO cards in Asterisk. There are various distributions that package it in a very lightweight and reusable manner specifically for this type of purpose, or you can roll your own if it's scalable enough. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I am guessing this has to do with the announce file that is played to the engineer before the call is connected. It seems that if the call rolls to the next queue because of timeout, asterisk doesn't even try to record it. (I don't see any mixmonitor on the cli for the next queue). I would appreciate any help with this. I have to have all calls recorded and I have to do announcements so that the callee knows how to answer the phone.

To fix this, in the 1.4 version of app_queue, there's a monitor-type=MixMonitor parameter which will use the MixMonitor appropriately natively in app_queue instead of Monitor.

RE: [asterisk-users] Reverse-ATA : Using PSTN lines to connect toAsterisk
Mike, No, not necessarily. There are plenty of off-the-shelf IP PBX units, and some of them are not expensive at all. I heard somewhere Linksys makes one for about $500 and it can amply serve a small office. Should be enough for your purposes. Either way, it'd be immensely cheaper than buying a PC, installing Linux, throwing Asterisk on it, setting it up manually, even if you manage to find a way to replicate and scale some of those processes.

Most ATAs come with FXS ports so that you can connect analogue phones to them, but in this case you're wanting to take PSTN lines from the outside, so FXO is desirable. Second, you'd have to make sure that the ATA supports the sort of application you're using it for; most are manufactured on the opposite premise. I am actually not sure offhand of any ATA firmware that I know that I imagine would work this way, although I'm confident it exists as consecutive back-to-back analogue-VoIP adaptations in many scenarios can get quite complex and requires that flexibility.

Re: [asterisk-users] sip_header=value?
Well here is my scenario, Our users have option to register with one Primary did and 5 secondary dids for the purpose of distinctive-ring/did-based-routing. If a user is registered with us and he is using sipura, then we have to send 6 different bellcores in alert into sip header for his different dids like this Caller called user1 did1(123)-send bellcore1 Caller called user1 did2(456)-send bellcore2 and so on If the user is using asterisk to register with us, then we also have to send the dnid so that when the user receives the dialed num, he has to decide to route that call to which extension based on dnid. So the first problem: For sending the dnid i used the dial application like this: (1)--Dial(SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) incase when the user is using asterisk as a peer (2)--Dial(SIP.user1) incase when the user is using sipura as a peer i wanted to use (1) for dialing sipura also but it doesnt work, so i dial like (1) if user is using asterisk and (2) for every other device. I am still finding a way to solve this problem so that i dont have to check the called user's useragent for every call. I was trying to find a way to send the dnid in some header field. thats why i started this thread. The second Problem: Asterisk doesn't set the ${DNID} variable to the dialed extension extension num. all of my system for setting the bellcore and sending the dnid is based on ${DNID} variable, and i just came to know this problem. I dont know why this i happening. if you know plz help. So.any ideas On 4/10/07, Karl J.

I'm about to embark down the ACD path, and still unsure as to whether AgentCallbackLogin (on 1.2) or AddQueueMember (on 1.4) is the better solution to go with. Queue member penalties (there are no 'agent' penalties as agents are concept provided by chan_agent and it does not handle penalties) are not known to cause any problems. Weights (between queues) are definitely problematic, primarily because they cause a great deal of extra locking/unlocking operations as all the queues and their callers are traversed trying to make a decision which member should get which call. The 'autofill' behavior that has been recently added only makes this worse. We plan on rebuilding the queuing system from scratch, using a state-driven rather than polling model, which will pretty much eliminate this issue as there will be a lot less 'work' involved in delivering calls to queue members. Most of the design work for that will happen at next month's DevCon, and then you will see the code begin to appear in the following weeks. It is possible that the code will be backportable to Asterisk 1.4, although obviously we won't be doing that as part of any official releases. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

You can download the current complete sources with: svn checkout http://www.celliax.org:8081/svn/celliax/branches/test1 test1 or you can download a livecd from www.celliax.org and test it without install anything. For compiling yourself you actually just need the files that build chan_celliax, that you find in test1/celliax_stuff/ (chan_celliax.c chan_celliax_spandsp.c chan_celliax_spandsp.h) and to modify the channels/Makefile And, of course, the configuration files (particularly celliax.conf) that you find in celliax_stuff/newconfigs/*. So, if you would better like to compile with the asterisk-dev packages, just download the svn sources as told, put those three files in the asterisk/channels directory and modify the asterisk/channels/Makefile. Anyway, if you download and build directly from the svn sources (just make install from the test1/asterisk-1.2.17 directory), it will put all the stuff in /usr/local/asterisk, /usr/local/asterisk/etc/asterisk/*.conf, /usr/local/asterisk/usr/sbin/*, etc, so it will not clutter your computer and other existing asterisk installations (you will have to remove just the /usr/local/asterisk directory).

[asterisk-users] ISDN BRITE support?
Hi all, I found some message in the Digium list archives that discussed ISDN BRITE support. There was also some discussion on 4:1 bitrate conversion. I did some searching on the source code and didn't see any reference to BRITE or bitrate conversion. Does the current code properly pass a D-channel from a BRI port to a DS0 channel on a channelized T1? BRITE seems pretty straight forward, but I didn't see any examples on how to do this. Are there any plans for supporting the more complicated bitrate conversion that muxes the D-channels from BRI ports to a single DS0 channel? The context for these questions is the same as what was previously discussed. I would like to use Asterisk to route H.320 video conferencing equipment into a T1 and provide a platform for eventually moving off our old PBX. ...Jeff ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] Help w/ Asterisk Cisco IP phone and SCCP
Do you have any console messages? SCCP uses a station start tone message with a value of Inside Dial Tone and a direction of Tone Output User. and the line instance and Station Tone Output Direction should be set to something other than 0. SCCP runs over TCP so you should get this message, but it would be interesting to see if you get this message the phone still doesnt play dial tone. My experiences with chan_sccp have been disappointing at best.

Re: [asterisk-users] intermittent choppy sound over wifi link
On Sun, 8 Apr 2007, Curt Shaffer wrote: I am experiencing a situation where I am getting intermittent choppy audio. Here is the network layout: Termination provider - IAX2 over the Internet - 20Mb fiber connection - router - Asterisk My ATA connection goes into the router between the fiber and the Asterisk server on another interface here is the layout from me to Asterisk: Sipura ATA (SPA1001 running 3.1.19(SE) firmware), also tested with X-lite softest - PIX 506 (although I have tried multiple routers and direct connection to the radio try to fix the problem) - 1 mile 802.11b link to AP - 15 mile 802.11b link Backhaul - router - Asterisk I'm, er, impressed. Some years ago I was involved with community broadband networks delivered via Wi-Fi, and the results were dissapointing to say the least. I was using smartbridges kit - good kit at the time and designed for the great outdoors. Relatively expensive though. One thing I found was putting 2 Wi-Fi links back to back - ie. with just a switch in-between, would seriously degrade bandwidth through the link. And 15 miles! That's really stretching it, but I guess you have the kit - big parabolics or dishes, line of sight, no fresnel zone intrusions, etc. We tried daisy-chaining 4 links together and struggled to get 1Mb/sec through it. What kills Wi-Fi is full duplex. It's only half-duplex kit, so there is a turn-around on the link to simulate full duplex. When your packets are short and coming in both directions, the radio turn-around time can exceed the packet time. Put 2 links back to back through a switch or hub and it's worse. Put short packets through it at regular intervals and it's worse yet. Try to run short packets both ways at the same time (which you have to for VoIP) and it's even worser. But you'll get good ping times and downloading data will appear just fine which is what'll make it all the more frustrating! So make sure there is nothing else on the Wi-Fi links, especially no uploads. My Asterisk version is Asterisk 1.2.12.1, Zaptel 1.2.9.1. Ping times are ~10ms, jitter is under 10 with an average of 5. QoS is enabled in the router for SIP, RTP and IAX2 traffic going to and from the Asterisk box. QoS won't help you at the end of 2 radio hops, because by the time the packet gets to the router, it's gone over 2 Wi-Fi hops and it's too late for the router to do anything with it, so uploads are to be avoided. That's what used to kill my networks (I had 3 community networks with a few 100 people in total, connected togther with a fibre backhaul) One kiddie using p2p software would kill his entire segment of the network as the uploads would cripple any other downloads, and because I only had one router per community, he'd effectively cripple everyone in that community until I cut him off and/or employed some really harsh traffic shaping which wan't that effective anyway, but helped. I lusted after a router at each AP, but that was never going to happen as we never had the money... When I experience the choppiness the ATA reports packet loss on the web interface (Call 1 Packets Lost: ). I can run something such as ping plotter from the same leg of the network that the Asterisk box is on while this is happening and there is not even a small glitch of lost packets on the network but the ATA displays otherwise. The only thing I have come up with thus far is possible retransmissions on the wireless connection (and due to the type of gear, I'm not able to see this data). We are way out in the country with no other real providers even close so I'm doubting interference although I suppose it is a possibility keeping an open mind. My question is can anyone point me to any possible reasons this would be happening? Also can anyone tell me other reasons other than real lost packets that the ATA would show this? My only guess on that was packets that never got an ACK due to server congestion or some other reason other than actual loss. As far as I'm aware, there's no ACK in the RTP stream - it's just a UDP stream with the bare minimal of overhead to help sequence and time packets. You may find that the Wi-Fi gear is dropping UDP packets if it gets overloaded. Can you increase the sample time - from (eg) 20ms to 40ms? So the packets are bigger and the radio turn-arounds are less frequent? Have you tried a lighter codec? (eg GSM - smaller packets, but less often?) Other than that, all I can suggest is Good Luck ...

The original intention was to do this for disclosure purposes in order defend against clowns like Katz. However, the company that owns this patent has since transferred rights to one of their subsidiary IP PBX firms and eventually they may decide to use this patent for other purposes besides defensive disclosure. I imagine that they could always whip this patent out on competing SIP PBX companies...

RE: [asterisk-users] Verizon-Vonage Lawsuit
BTW, the main problem with these patents is that they tend to lower the rate of adoption for new standards. Nothing kills a standard quicker than when someone patents it. For example, someone out there even has a patent on ENUM: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/20060020713.html?highlight=enumstemming=on It made me mad that he beat me to it. Roflol... Regardless, this won't help with ENUM adoption. Any joker with about $6k per patent and some time on his hands to monitor emerging standards can easily generate some patent entertainment for themselves at the expense of others... So, the question of the day is: Have you thought about patenting something today? It's easy. I just got a new idea while writing this for an ENUM related patent that I may pursue at some point... =) -- Salvatore Giudice [EMAIL PROTECTED] VoIP Security Training, LLC http://VoIPSecurityTraining.com 848 N.

RE: [asterisk-users] help with Sipura SPA 3000
I've bought a Sipura SPA 3000, and succesfully connected it to my Mac, where I installed Asterisk 1.4.0. Both ports (FXO and FXS) are well configured). However, living in Brazil, I'd like to know if there are optimal settings to my PSTN that I should enter into the config of the device. I experience a little bit of echo on the FXO probably because I raised the gain of that port because I wasn't sounding loud enough. Get the impedance settings right. An impedance mismatch will cause echo (but may not be the only cause) But there are two things I would like to do with the device, and I'd appreciate if anyone could help me out: 1 - Is there a way to stop cutting other people when I speak through the PSTN? What I mean is that, when sound is captured by my telephone, it dimishes the other peer's voice, and sometimes it makes communication harder, as if the line weren't full duplex. I think the 'echo suppression' setting causes this. It is meant to reduce the incoming audio (and hence the echo) while you are talking, which can be annoying but is supposed to be less annoying than the echo itself. 2 - How can I gain full control to the FXS? I mean, a simple * dialed is not sent for asterisk (the server) interpretation, probably because it's used by Sipura's suplementary services, I don't know. Also, is it possible to get a dial tone from ASterisk, instead of Sipura's? My goal with this is to provide users with direct access to the PSTN line pressing 0, instead of collecting calls and making the call themselves, or at least making ignorepat to work! A dialplan of '(S0:s)' will get your phone to jump straight into the 's' extension in asterisk as soon as someone picks it up. From there you can do something like: [sip_ata_incoming] exten = s,1,Answer exten = s,n,DISA(no-password|sip_extension_in) so Asterisk will give you dialtone and do the dialplan stuff for you. From the 'sip_extension_in' context you can make a single '0' or '*' call the PSTN line. Good luck with the echo situation. I have an spa3000 and no matter what I do I get echo coming back to me with almost no reduction in volume!!!

[asterisk-users] Learn some terminalogy before mounting this task.
All, I have done research on VoIP for some time now. I'm a Cisco certified Network Engineer however Telecom is not my strongest suit. I've been a part of this mailing list for sometime but my delusions of grandeur in migrating our 25 year old phone system to a new platform have been on the back burner, until now. I have found my company is moving to a new location(building) and this provides perfect opportunity. Long story short, I'm very Linux savvy having no problems compiling, building, making etc.. However getting connected to the PSTN is puzzling me. My vocabulary is lacking and I need to call our provider this week and get some circuits moved. So, my confusion (Current Setup) We have a T1 coming into the building(FYI-Our Voice and Data are on separate T's) terminating at the Smart Jack. Then a cable from the T card(SmartCard) to the channel bank. From the Channel bank lines are punched down to the block. Then those ANALOG lines are fed into our Big hunking PBX mounted on the wall and two (Looks to be Rj11) lines come from it into our VM server. QA.. We are going to leave the telecom hardware behind.. I want to replace it all with an Asterisk or Tribox solution. I can tell you our current phone system can handle 7 phone calls at a time: Does this mean the T only has 7 channels provisioned out of the 24 possible? Does a channel (In terms of the T1) = a port? How many phone calls can one TDM400 support concurrently? (four ??) Would I be better off getting a Zapata T1 card and forgetting the Channel bank all together(Use the digital signal)? Or Have a channel bank installed and use an OpenSwitch12 solution working with the analog signal? If we go with a Zapata T1 card for the Asterisk server would we be able to provision an analog phone line, for say a FAX machine from it? (Further information) Ultimately this is the FIRST of 3 offices that will be migrated. This first office has 30 physical phones and currently no DID (Hoping to change that as well) Once the second and third offices migrate(about the same number of stations) we would connect the 3 Asterisk systems over the WAN giving us free long distance between offices. The toughest challenge I foresee is getting overhead intercom/paging to work(We must be able to hail our warehouse staff over head), also Music on Hold... If I use Cisco 7940's (SIP) (Or the like) I'd like to integrate our phone extensions for a 3 offices into the directory Does this sound do-able? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Athens Hyperion Scanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Are you implying that there are two T1 circuits -- one voice, and one data? Or do you mean that the T1 is channelised and some of the channels are used for voice and some for data? That's kind of what it sounds like. Sounds like you can do 7 calls on voice channels and the rest are provisioned as a clear-channel data pipe. That would mean that you have some equipment for breaking them out on your premises. The channel bank would break out the voice lines as FXO analogue lines (if you set it to) and those probably feed into your PBX. The rest of the channels used for data would probably be signaled out on another T1 interface, but with some subrate DS0 channels missing. That's ust a guess.

On Tue, 10 Apr 2007, Alex Balashov said something to this effect: Personally, the easiest approach I would say would be to order a PRI. The reason I say that, by the way, is because most T1-based digital voice trunking is done using PRIs these days. That doesn't mean you couldn't get a good old-fashioned EM trunk -- which is what would typically be used on a classic channelised T1 (which uses channel-associated signaling (CAS) rather than out-of-band PRI signaling on the non-bearing D channel), sometimes at a considerable discount from the telco. The Zaptel-compatible T1 cards support that as well. But PRI is a lot easier to manage for a variety of reasons IMHO, and is generally preferred. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [asterisk-users] Verizon-Vonage Lawsuit
Thanks for the answer. I've never heard that one before. I remember once I used a 3rd party component set (Indy 9) to do some smtp alert emails from a Windows application. Couldn't get the mails to go through for a few particular customers and after some research and talking to ISP's, we found out that the component set that I used was used to write spamming software and the headers produced by the component set were flagged by spamm assasin and others. Arg. Mail admins usually treat non-MTA software that send email as highly potential sources of spam. In your case, a whitelisting arrangement would take care of the problem or whatever arrangement they may have. Properly managed ISP's/domains will have a reachable contact at [EMAIL PROTECTED]/domain. The third party component set you mentioned...is it the original of indyproject.org too? The Indy 9 component most probably got itself into blacklists because of the IntraWeb framework, which most probably uses Indy 9 for smtp, has inadequate measures against abuse and the Indy 9 component creates an easily identifiable header. Whole server farms running proper MTA software will get blacklisted if they have abusable scripts or other stuff using them. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [asterisk-users] Learn some terminalogy before mounting this task.
Alex, First may I offer thanks for your comment and reply. Most I understood and all I appreciate. To clarify the existence of the Channel bank at our current premise: In past years the Data and Voice WAS on the same T1. The 24 channels were used(The T1 was full) and the channel bank separated (At that time marketed as-) DPL (Digital Private Line) circuits to our two branch offices. That has long been changed. We now have a separate/new T1 for data and the original T1/channel bank which is in fact only for voice. When I talk with our CLEC (USLEC) I should now expect them to tell me there are only 7 channels provisioned on the Voice T1. (If I understand your comments) Also, Sounds as though I should compare pricing to a PRI ISDN circuit and inquire about our current Voice T1's signaling (I wonder if this is in reference to CLOCKING of a TDM circuit?) We will need a few Analog lines for various IT Dpt. issues therefore a Zapata T1 card for the Asterisk server is out. Also, an earlier reference to 'A port' comes for my reading about the TDM400 cards. That material states the card has 4 'ports' configurable to FXO or FXS type 'ports'. If I understand your comments, 1 Channel of a T1 OR PRI equals 1 port on an TDM400 card or OpenSwitch12 for that matter. Lastly, I have seen recommendations to only install ONE card within an Asterisk server for stability and performance reasons. Are we past that need with todays current baseline server products? Again, Thank you and anyone who replies to this dialog. It is very appreciated in helping raise confidence with this project. -- -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Alex Balashov Sent: Tue 4/10/2007 9:41 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Learn some terminalogy before mounting this task.
