[Asterisk-Users] Choppy Sound on PSTN End

Title: Choppy Sound on PSTN End






Hi all,

I recently set up Asterisk on a Dell PowerEdge 1850 Dual Xeon 2.8 Ghz processor. I am running the latest build of White Box Enterprise Linux.

Our call routing is like this:

SJPHONE on Windows - QoS-enabled Switch - Asterisk - T1 Line - Broadvoice SIP account - PSTN

Calls seem to work great from user to user. However, calls from a SJPhone user to the PSTN are not so great. The SJPhone user hears the person on the PSTN perfectly  I mean, completely flawless. However, the user on the PSTN end hears choppy / jittery, extraneous clicks, etc.

Here is the SJPhone config:

Audio Compression: G.711

Driver buffer size: 20 msec

Driver input queue length: 6

Driver output queue length: 4

RTP jitter queue length: 6

Silence Suppression: No

DTMF Sending: RFC 2833

Signal Duration (ms): 270

RTP Payload type: 101

Signal volume: 10

Pause duration (ms): 100


And the sip extension config (in Asterisk Management Portal):

Allow: blank

Canreinvite: no

Disallow: gsm

Dtmfmode: rfc2833

Host: dynamic

Nat: yes (some users are behind NAT)

Qualify: no


Any ideas on what to do to get rid of the choppiness?

Thanks!

Tim

I doubt it is the RAID controller since my Dell server isn't using one and I
have this problem...

I have the same problem on a Dell 1850 with a TE410P and have been
attempting to narrow it down. Interrupts don't seem to be a problem and I
have two PRIs from two different suppliers and both have the same
static/chop on the line so it's not the PRI.

The leading suspect at the moment is the RAID controller. Unfortunately it's
rather difficult to remove this from the set up but I plan to switch one of
the PRIs to a Dell 1750 without a RAID controller to see if the problem
still goes away.

I turned on qualify=yes to see what happens. No effect that I can
see.



I have GSM disabled because I heard some bad things about the GSM
protocol. I reenabled it, but to no avail.

 I have the exact setup
you describe, SJPhone - * - Zap/PRI. I think you need to twiddle some
settings. You might turn on qualify just to see if the * is seeing network
flaws. Keep in mind, if your using windows, anytime the user starts clicking
around, you can expect less than ideal audio. Also, why disable GSM ?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] PRI Question

2005-03-21 Thread Tim Chandler
Let me further clarify this.  I am looking to buy the TE110P.  The website says 
that The TE110P with Asterisk will route voice and data traffic, and eliminate 
the need for an external router.  How does this work?  How is the data 
transferred - as a pass-through like a NAT to the server's network card?  What 
kind of network slowdown are we looking at?  How does this affect the 
processor?  I would appreciate some more information on how this works.

Thanks,
Tim Chandler

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the input you add to the list.  This seems to be a very good 
list.

I am still new to Asterisk.  If I run a PRI integrated T1 line into my office, 
do I need to split the line between the data and voice before plugging it into 
the asterisk box or is there some other way to do that?  What are some good 
options for splitting the line?

Thanks for any input.

Tim

it's like saying have a good one or good to see you.

[Asterisk-Users] Choosing an ISP for Asterisk

2005-03-20 Thread Tim Chandler
I am the IT Manager for an international company who preserves its competitive 
edge by cutting costs.  We are moving to a new office in about two months, and 
naturally, Asterisk came to mind as a way to implement a VoIP setup at low 
cost.  My expertise is computers, not telephones, so all of this is new to me.

I need to know what the ideal setup for an Asterisk set up is.  My idea is to 
have our ISP run a voice/data T1 into our corporate office (about 60 users) and 
run this into a fast Dell server with Asterisk and a Digium card.  
Theoretically, the ISP would connect us into the traditional phone system.  
However, I don't know the specific requirements for the T1 line or how to split 
the data and voice.  What is the best type of T1 line to run?  What protocols 
does it need to support?  I have heard of dynamic T1s, how do you split the 
data and voice?  We are thinking of using someone like XO (who currently does 
both our voice and data).  What do I need for this installation?

I appreciate your help in this!
