Re: [Asterisk-Users] Linksys PAP2-NA

2004-09-22 Thread Brandon Patterson (peering)
This is about big business. No ILEC is going to just sit idle and watch
billions in revenue go out the window. It will be interesting to see if port
blocking ever becomes an issue. Did I buy my Internet service with out
without restrictions? H. Cisco sells to Telco's and Cable guys. Vonage
has serious $ so I would expect serious business moves on their part. There
is no way the excuse you were given is true. The real reason? Vonage
probably went nuts and told Cisco to fix the problem. I know I would, how
about the rest of you? There are other providers of hardware starting to
gear up for mass production of terminal adapters. It will all happen before
the end of the year.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Linksys PAP2-NA Update

2004-09-22 Thread Brandon Patterson (peering)
Ok guys here is the deal. Someone decided that the boxes were shipped to
soon. Alright, whatever. Now we are told that Linksys will have a program
where you must be certifed as an ISP or VOIP company in order to purchase
the box. Call as many dist. as you like but, selling the box after being
told not to; will only get the dist. in trouble. So Linksys / Cisco now
decides who is an Internet Service Provider? Speaking for myself this is
real bullshit. As to why its being down? Power  Control. Cisco seems to
forget just who the hell made them as big as they are. Our company has made
it clear to Cisco, not Linksys that there will always be other suppliers.
Many of you will remember when SCO wanted you to get certified on Unix just
because they needed extra cash. Or when Compaq wanted people approved and so
on. the market demands this type of item. Others besides Linksys will
build it. Leadtek offers a unit we use and the support is excellent. Its
more money but I doubt that Leadtek or others will just sit by. The cash is
there, the boom is on... Let the band play!

What you said was true. I was trying to keep it simple. We are going to be
doing all our own support and are not dealing with the dist companies you
mentioned.
Right now we are happy to be able to offer the low cost product.

Brandon


 This is part of the Vonage deal.  Vonage gets to deal with the unwashed
 hordes and has a financial incentive for helping them to get the ATA
 going.  The reduced support costs are worth something to Linksys.  They
 want to do the same thing with the unlocked version.  If the reseller has
 an incentive (and the know-how) to provide first-level support, the box
 costs less.

 More importantly, who else is at the other here...the Marriot Marquis.
 I was one of the unlucky ones who didn't get a room at the Century

 If there is anyone here, is anyone heading back to the Century Center at
 a more reasonable hour who has their own transportation or who wants to
 split cab fare? I need to go pick up my car back at the CC (was too
 tired to drive anymore) but the latest shuttle is 7:45am. Since I'm not
 going to the tutorials I don't need to be there early; I just want to
 get my car so I can spend tomorrow doing something outside the hotel. :)

 And on that note, once I *do* have my car back I'll be happy to take two
 or three people back and forth with me. I'm sure I'm not the only one
 who is can't fathom waking up that early. ;-)

A suggestion here. For people wanting to use an area code it might be a good
idea
to pick one that is not used.



 Here is an example:  I will pick northern Alberta, in Canada.  The
 country code is 1 and the area code is 403.  Use 1403.*

Re: [Asterisk-Users] No Caller Name sent from Asterisk over Nationalor DMS100 PRI to a Norstar MICS?

2004-09-16 Thread Brandon Patterson (peering)
The owner of the connection to the PSTN (Telco) must insert the NAME
portion for Call Display. There is no way around that since its their
database
the NAME is located in. Someone correct me if I am wrong .

Brandon

 For instance, it is possible to set your Caller ID Number on an outbound
 PRI call to 202-456-1414; on the callee's caller ID Display, the name and
 number will read THE WHITE HOUSE 202-456-1414.  However, I do not
 recommend doing this.  It is just a colorful example.

Whom ever sells you your pstn connection would 
have to insert the name from their database. Only the number is passed with the 
call -pstn is as pstn does. The Clec, Ilec or whatever lec needs to add 
name to CLID.

  My business would own the actual T1, but I may

  as well as their toll free number and not the local number for the outbound

  All,
  
   Having trouble getting 
  answer from Verizon. I believe Asterisk will let me specify a name 
  and number that is sent to the PSTN (Verizon) of outgoing calls. For 
  instance, if I have a client, First Bank, and their toll free number is 
  888-555-1234, I could send that name and number. Verizon is telling 
  me that they will forward the number I send them, but the name will be my 
  company's name. I can't get an answer from them if this is a 
  technical problem due to old equipment at their switching office; or if it 
  is just a policy/law issue; or they just plain don't want to. Does 
  anyone have any answers to this? Any responses or comments are 
  welcome.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Bill
  
Bill:

Who "owns" the telephone number that the callerid 
number is being setto (you or the customer)? Are the outbound calls 
being sent over PRI or via IAX or SIP? I have a similar issue where I send 
outbound calls to a termination provider over IAX. I set the callerid 
number and name to my company's telephone number and name. 
Unfortunately my business isn't the customer on record with Qwest for that 
telephone number, so Qwest allows me to set the outbound callerid number but 
ignores my attempts to set the callerid name. Instead they replace the 
name with whatever name is actually on the account for that telephone 
number. (Hope I'm being clear...)

If I terminate calls directly to the PSTN via my 
X100P I can't do anything of courseneed a PRI for that I 
suppose.

Marty

Mark a wise man pointed out that even today. modern switches and all...
most Telco work is done by hand. The database you would need access
to is not one a Telco would allow. Great idea - wrong century. If Telco's
were smart this would be allowed and a small fee collected. VOIP exists
because Telco's are not that smart.


 Hmmm BTN, may be I should tell that to my E1 provider, they use my 
 CallerID as the BTN, additionnaly whenever I don't provide a number 
 which matches the one configured on my PRI the set a default CallerID!!! 
 So that's also the reason why they cannot provide me with such a service 
 like send-any-callerid-you-like!!! Too bad!!!

  After our department went to using

  my entire organization (Small county). We have ~10 locations with various 
  links in between (Mostly p2p T1s, some Frame (1.544mbps commit), some ISDN, 
  some VPN over 768kbit internet) Right now we’re using 
  several NEC Electra Elite systems, and 2 Nortel Meridian systems. In one of 
  the main locations we have 29 POTS lines going into the NEC system. At another 
  location we have a single PRI, and at a lot of the other locations we have 
  just analog phones. Cisco has approached us about using all Cisco equipment, 
  but their idea is going to be costly. Is it wise to use Asterisk on something 
  this big? I am not a PBX/Voice guy, I just do IP up 
  here right now. Any tips, pointers, design guides, or advice to 
  give?

Good luck. If you did you will pay through the nose. Did you know that the

2005. Can we say why waste time? 10 people decide your entire future from
radio to phone to tv. Hey, its against the law to watch HBO in Canada!

Don't invest any money in small towns unless you want to go broke. Contact
me off the list and I will be happy to go further.

 I want the ability to setup DIDs in a variety of different remote

but
 none that focus on the smaller cities.

 The question is how do I actually setup these DIDs?
