Re: [asterisk-users] trixbox, sangoma a200, dell poweredge 2550 issue

2008-05-16 Thread Steven Kurylo
 Is there any reason why I should be experiencing such bad line quality 
 on inbound calls from PSTN? Call quality is perfect when plugging in a 
 regular analogue phone. 
So outgoing PTSN calls are fine but incoming PTSN calls have poor 
quality.  Do both parties hear the crackling, etc?  Can you reproduce 
this, ie if you use your cell to call in, does the problem occur every 
time?  What happens if you call your PTSN number from your handsets?  
Does the call go out onto the PTSN and come back in with poor quality?

Do you have other phone lines you can try the A200 with?  Have you asked 
Sangoma support?

 I have xinet tftp running on centos 5.1

 It seems to be running on the local network eht0 fine. My box has 2 nics.
 however when I connect to eth1 for tftp I get:

  in.tftpd[5084]: tftpd: read(ack): Connection refused

 How can I get tftp working on BOTH eth0 and eth1 for my phone config files.

 man page for in.tftpd says it automatically runs for all local networks 
 on port 69.
 Is eth1 not a local network? How do I get tftp to response on eth1?
Which networks are connected to each card?  What is the IP/subnet of the 
client?

You could be connecting through eth1 to tftpd, but the server is sending 
the packet back out eth0.  The client would then refuse the connection 
as its coming from the IP address of eth0.

I cut out the authentication stuff we do, but this is part of the macro 
we use to spy and record calls arbitrary calls.  All of our users have 
sip handsets.  Asterisk 1.2.

exten = s,n(getext),Read(SPY,extension,4)

I'd love some pointers on integrating * with a sx-200.  I have a system 
where a fork lift upgrade is impossible.  Ideally as we add new 
extensions, I'd like them to be in *, and have the mitel system know to 
route the calls correctly.  I have a manual for the sx and a few half 
baked thoughts (put the pstn on *, and have the mitel system send all 
unknown numbers to *.  Then * can route them properly to the outside 
world or to the new extensions), but it will be slow going.

Thanks.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk temporary hangs when no internet connection

 My guess is that the asterisk server tries resolving the names of the 
 SIP providers when it tries to re-register to them and because there 
 is no internet connectivity it hangs there for a while. However in 
 that time all the local calls to the asterisk server stop working.
Try using a local DNS server.  Sounds like its waiting on DNS lookups...

I don't think you'll ever find the reliability of those old solid state 
systems.  They have very few features and little to go wrong.  I don't 
judge my asterisk installations against those systems.  I judge asterisk 
against comparable systems, like a cisco voip systems or  a Nortel BCM.

While I can't say asterisk is more stable than they are, I can say the 
support is much better.  With closed systems I never quite know whats 
going on and get told to reboot regularly to fix problems (the days of a 
BCM taking 20 minutes to reboot during business hours of a call 
center...).  Or sometimes told the latest version will fix my problems, 
assuming I pay for it.  With asterisk I can tackle the issues myself and 
get a continually improving product with no extra charges.  The power of 
open source.

   ...can you expand on that please ? I'm on my way to getting one of the
   newer Digium TE220B PCIe dual T1/E1 to put on such a system.
So far I'm having nothing but problems with my DL360's and TE220B's.  
While many of the problems are slowly starting to seem to like problems 
with the telco, some of them definitely aren't.

I can't pass the loop back test (patlooptest) unless the hpasmd (the 
system management software) has been stopped.  Though I will try 
asterisk and zaptel 1.4 soon to see if that helps.

Re: [asterisk-users] HDLC errors

2008-01-18 Thread Steven Kurylo

 I have a suggestion.  Have you contacted Digium technical support
 for assistance
 with resolving this issue?


 Excellent suggestion.  Make sure you can give them SSH access and 
 screen so you can see what they are doing.  Before that, check 
 (remake) your T1 cables and if it is punched down on a block, re-punch 
 it. 
 

 I'm used to vendors that aren't responsive, so I never even thought of 
 it.  They've told me to try running patlooptest (which I will tonight), 
 to see if the problem is in the card.
I received very good support from Digium.  After running patlooptest 
they recommended that I return the card.

During the loop tests I would sometimes pass a 60 second test.  I very 
rarely passed a 300 second test on either span.  I moved the card to the 
other slot and did some IRQ swapping as well to the same results.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Pretty much, yes.
 What is between the smartjack and your T1 card? What sort and length
 of cable? Any splices? Punchdown or patch panels?
   
About 100 feet of RJ48 (yes, STP) which tests fine.  Though I was 
thinking of moving the server to be in the same room as the telco box to 
see ensure its not the cables.
 Also I'm not sure if Trixbox has this but ssh in and see if there is
 an application called zttool. What are the statistics it is providing?
   
I don't have any IRQ misses:

IRQ Misses:   0
Bipolar Viol: 0
Tx/Rx Levels: 0/  0

Re: [asterisk-users] HDLC errors

2008-01-17 Thread Steven Kurylo

 You mention went into production, Did this imply moving of the system
 from a testing room into a server-location? Other (longer) cables?
   

Unplugged the current system and hooked up a new, longer, cable to the 
asterisk system.  The cable is RJ48 STP, about 100 feet.  However we ran 
several cables and swapping them around doesn't make a difference; they 
all test good too.  We could be having bad luck with them :-)

I was thinking of moving the server to be beside the telco box, but that 
is a large undertaking.
 Perhaps you can check with your telco wether they receive bad frames
 coming from you
I gave them a call and they'll run a report and get back to me.  
Hopefully the patlooptest tonight will point to the problem.

Thank you everyone for all your suggestions.
