Dell poweredge 1850 + a104 sangoma card works fine. No disabled
hardware. No IRQ juggling. No problems. (no I don't work for them, but
they did give me a sweet deal on the card)

 A Dell 1850 and TE405P didn't work very well for me.
 
 Got a lot of static on ZAP calls. There's a whole thread about it from a
 month ago!
 
 Tried everything to fix it and in the end went back to 2 E100P cards which
 did the trick.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Spanish TTS

2005-05-19 Thread Ben Hencke
Cepstral. They will tune it for $150/hr too. Depending on the
vocabulary of your app, this could still be cheaper than most
commercial TTS engines.
They have 2 new English voices that sound very nice, maybe they will
upgrade their other languages too.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Sangoma card !

2005-05-10 Thread Ben Hencke
I believe these show up in some advanced settings even if you
configure the cards as TDM. I am doing T1 PRI, and have been able to
get away with the default settings for all the advanced options. Be
sure that your zaptel file matches all the E1 settings you used in
wancfg.

Be sure to get the 2.3.3 drivers and follow the instructions. The
2.3.2 drivers loaded, but the dchannels were stuck in some kind of
restart loop, flooding the logs and never working right.

If you still have trouble, contact their tech support.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dell PowerEdge SC1425 w/ TE405P?

2005-04-22 Thread Ben Hencke
I have head that the SC prefixed Dells are not good to use with Digium
hardware. Considering how picky my TE405P cards were in other low end
Dell servers, I would suggest using an 1850 instead.

OTOH, if it does work, please let me know :-)
If you go to small biz, you can get the SC1425 trimmed down with dual 2.8hgz for under $1k

asking if anyone has had any experience with this box?I'm not up on my PCI terminology, but as I understand it, the TE405P canonly be used in a 32 bit 33Mhz slot at 5.0 Volts. This SC1425 lists a1x 64-bit/1xxMHz PCI-X slot under it's expandability information. I'd
venture to guess this is probably NOT going to work with a TE405P.That being said, if it works, great. If not, what 1U boxes are peopleusing IN PRODUCTION w/ TE405P cards?--Vice President of N2Net, a New Age Consulting Service, Inc. Company

Re: [Asterisk-Users] TDM400P and SCSI/SATA = * noise problems???

2005-04-19 Thread Ben Hencke
SATA works ok for me, but its not like I am running a DB server on that
box, just a TTS engine and some audio files. It would be nice though.
I had some trouble getting my TE405P cards to talk, and got some helpful advise from the folks at Digium

excerpt:
You may need
to disable unnecessary hardware on your machine such as sound
controllers, USB controllers, extra ethernet controllers, firewire,
parallel ports, and/or serial ports. 

and

If you are running an IDE hard drive please verify that you are using
DMA mode with a UDMA setting of no lower than 2 or higher than 3. UDMA
mode 2 is ATA33
-
We would suggest using an IDE harddrive rather
than SCSI or SATA in order to configure your hard drive to UDMA2. 
Configuring a SCSI or SATA hard drive to UDMA2 is not possible. 

Well there goes disk performance :-P
and 

Please ensure that you are not running X-Windows, frame-buffer, or
serial console, as these will cause problems with our hardware.

oh, and

If you are still having IRQ misses with our hardware you could try
booting your kernel with acpi=off and/or noapic to disable ACPI
power management andAPIC. These has been known to cause interrupt
sharing problems as well.

The good news is that it will probably work if you do all that stuff ;-)

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl'

Do you have /dev/zap* files? (not in subdirectory)
If so, maybe something is wrong with the udev configs.
If not, maybe the zaptel module is not loading.

The /dev/zap/* files are created with the zaptel module before any card specific module.

Do you have any messages when starting the zaptel module?

[Asterisk-Users] Dell suggestions for Quad T1 system

2005-04-08 Thread Ben Hencke
Hi everyone,
I am trying to find a reliable  reproducible system to run quad
PRI on a TE405P or TE410P. I currently have 2 TE405P I am testing with.

For reasons out of my control, my company prefers to go with Dell.
Currently I have a few poweredge 750 and several poweredge 400SC to
play around with. These are fine for testing but I would be using
something beefier for production.

After much, much hassle, I was able to get it to work on the PE 400SC.
These systems are really low end, and I would like to ask for some
suggestions before spending $3-5k on a high end system just to find
that it won't work. Also, the PE 400SC seem to be replaced by the 420SC
and digium seems to be having no end of trouble with these and told me
to stay away from other SC prefixed models (including the SC1425?).

So far I have found that I have to:
Disable all extra hardware (USB, serial, parallel, etc) and pray that
it finds its own IRQ (the BIOS does not allow changing IRQs)
Not run X windows
Disable framebuffer
Disable Hyperthreading (This is a real bummber, I could have used the extra cpu)
Kernel ACPI settings seems to be irrelevant

When I do see problems, It happens near capacity. All of the systems I
will be running will be using all 92 lines when they are being used.
Has anyone tested any of the new Dell systems in a production
environment with this kind of load? Specifically I am looking at
the 1850 and 2850.

On a side note, are there any extra IRQ problems introduced by a dual CPU system?

Thanks in advance,
 Ben

[Asterisk-Users] Answering machine detection

2005-02-04 Thread Ben Hencke
Hi all,
I would like to have basic answering machine detection for a
notification service (not spam, not telemarketing) so that I know when
I get a machine, and also to avoid starting the message during the
machine greeting.

I have found the WaitForSilence app in CVS, and this seems like it
would do exactly what I need, but does not seem to work in my setup.

I am making the call over VoIP (tryed AIX and SIP with GSM), but keep
getting errors where it calls app_waitfor(). I get these messages on
the console:

One waitfor failed. 
No audio available on channel??


If I use IAX, the progress will wait for some silence, but still
display the error after it gets some silence. If I use SIP, it will
never wait more than a few seconds and doesn't seem to wait for any
silence at all.

Does anyone know of some other ways (ie applications)  to detect
answering machines?

Thanks in advance,
  Ben

Wouldn't it be much simpler and effective to just boot them off the

They can always check the archives to read up on missed posts, and it
