They were very stable (I don't think I've ever seen one crash) but can be a pain when you want to set them up. These machines were originally designed as modembanks for internet access so the default config has an interface for every B channel. That is a pain to browse through the configuration. Grouping them solves this. Make sure you understand how to route calls using dialpeers, and make sure you understand this before putting them in service. These are very, very capable machines with lots of useful configuration options. Make sure you buy enough DSP channels to cover all simultaneous calls that need transcoding, we generally bought enough DSP cards so we could transcode all simultaneous calls. If you add it all up we were actually buying more DSP channels than E1 channels were available, for some reason Cisco designed the machine like this, perhaps to cover for slow call teardowns occupying DSPs too long. -- Andreas Sikkema -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

I personally would never install a GUI o/s. By doing so you always open yourself up to more security concerns.. Packages / ports / etc. Course one might argue - it's behind a firewall..

Init level 3 or init level 5 ? I'm about to start building my asterisk server and I can't seem to find anything that discusses the pros and cons of installing the OS (Fedora 15) as console only or GUI, ie install KDE as well. So, other than a bit of disk space, is there any reason why I shouldn't install KDE when I set it up ? Is there any great disadvantage to running the server in init level 5 (ie KDE, xorg, etc) running in the background, but not being logged in, versus init level 3 ? (Or whatever they call these things these days..., ie F15 uses systemd...) FWIW, my server hardware will sit on a server rack in the utility room. I might drag a display and keyboard down there once in a while to troubleshoot and/or do maintenance, but mostly I'd ssh in and probably use a remote desktop app to work on it. FWIW, I'm OK doing things via the CLI, but sometimes its really nice to have graphical tools. I look forward to your input.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk server: Console or GUI OS ? Init level 3 or init level 5 ?
Well you are correct - I did not include a discussion on performance impacts including disk I/O etc. It is true that by installing a GUI o/s additional init.d (startup) services will fire.. Additional libraries will be inclusive etc. This is why I say minimal is always better. Also take for example risk mitigation with security aspects. If you minimize the number of libraries (think windows DLL's) you have installed you also thus minimize your potential exposure. Again - this is just my recommendation and experience. Firewalls are great at blocking things and in theory - sure you could nmap your box and look for open ports and conceal them. I remember a Solaris engineer we had once - he bragged and bragged about his qualifications on Sun Solaris. Just to find out that he installed a bunch of GUI tools just so that he could install Oracle drivers. Further he didn't remove or lock down that exposure. Start minimal and work your way up. Now for my poke / razz - GUI's in server grade operating systems have made people a little to reliant on them.

I was worried the list would find it a trite and irritating question. I was expecting someone to tell me that even with the GUI component running in the background, the graphical processes have the potential to mess up the streams. I guess I should confess that I'm always a bit surprised to remember that asterisk doesn't require a real time OS ! Have you really exposed much more if you install the GUI components and normally run at init 3 ?

Re: [asterisk-users] MoH - conversion command

Anybody know ? There is no harm unless the endpoint you are dealing with does not do symmetric RTP. The nat=yes option assumes that it is okay to send RTP back to the source port from which it originated, irrespectively of what's in the SDP. This will cause one-way audio if the endpoint happens to want to receive RTP on a different port than the one it is sending it from. Almost all endpoints these days do symmetric RTP, though, so it's not a huge concern. That said, from a methodological and aesthetic perspective, it is better not to break standard RFC-compliant behaviour unnecessarily. Thus, I would not enable nat=yes unless there really is no direct network and transport-layer reachability to the endpoint. -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 260 Peachtree Street NW Suite 2200 Atlanta, GA 30303 Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Fax: +1-404-961-1892 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/ -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Preferably with an rj-21 - but okay if not.. I don't know of any ATA that will do GS An RJ-21 is the designation for a 66 block with 25 pair connector on the side GS is available with many channel banks though a T1 card and channel bank might be overkill for your application. Is this to go into a legacy switch? Most have line cards that can be easily switched to Loop Is this in the US, or ???

Re: [asterisk-users] Ground Start ATA / VOIP Gateway
I'll have to look at that then - as I thought the card actually said Ground Start on it.. I may have missed or it was scratched off the word loop start From: John Novack [mailto:jnov...@stromberg-carlson.org] Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2011 5:20 PM To: Robert Huddleston Cc: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Ground Start ATA / VOIP Gateway The SV8100 can do either ground or loop Assuming you can access the system it can easily be changed. Programming manual here: http://www.telecomcepts.com/downloads/SV8100/SV8100 Programming Manual_1.pdf the original installer may have locked it down, but it CAN be changed.

But that IAD2431 uses T1/E1 as WAN.. They are doing away with the T1 and want to use Ethernet for wan. So IAD2431 would be great - but if it only allows T1/E1 for WAN - I'm shot.
