Re: [Asterisk-Users] Sangoma VS. Digium
Hi; Just to a a little perspective. The closest equivalent Dialogic board (i.e. connects 4 T1's to a pci bus) is just under $7000 USD per board. Now while this isn't comparing apples to apples since the Dialogic board has more onboard processing services it does give a reference data point. The Digium board at just under $1500 USD looks quite good based on that comparison...

In this way they're destroying they're own reseller network and there's no commercial gain into supporting the end user (as resellers). Resellers are almost universally a useless money-sink. Most add no value at all, they are simply another logistics point. Distributors, on the other hand, are usually very knowlegable and are able to support their customers (the resellers) quite well. My advice: always *always* buy from as early in the channel as possible. Prices are better and the support is _way_ better. Of course, if you are not familiar with the problem space for which you are purchasing a solution then resellers can add a lot of value.

On Jan 5, 2005, at 11:23 AM, Wiley Siler wrote: snip To further explain my siutation, I should give you some more background on my setup. My current setup has an AdTran 616 on the wall breaking out my 6 analog lines and delivering my data to the office. I have two TDM400P cards receiving 6 analog lines which are used for both fax and voice. I have had numerous problems with this ISP and I just want to get away as soon as possible. Problem is, I have a contract that won't expire for a while so I need to use these lines for something. The ISP wants a contract extension and some setious cash to do the upgrade. Better to just seek alternate service. I originally bought my T100P thinking I would get digital lines and all the goodies involved. Then budget constraints and an ISP that wants too much to convert me to Digital lead to a temporary solution. I would use the analog lines for a while longer. Well, that has run its course and I have to get to something more stable. The PRI card looks pretty good at this point. So getting back to the T1 PRI issue (and I am playing catch up here), my goal is to just deliver new service into this office over my T100P and just dump nothing but fax out those old lines. That way I can reserve the digitals for our truly important calls and still reap the benefit of having those old analog lines. Large Snip So to summarize: Currently you have a T1 from an ISP, this ISP is currently delivering 6 analog FXS phone ports and delivering fractional T1 internet access over the Ethernet ports on the Adtran 616. To help clear up an issue that may have confused others, all the lines you have are delivered in digital form the Adtran converts the 6 phone channels to analog. In theory (from reading mailing list not from personal exp.) the Adtran could be replaced by a Linux box with a T100P and Asterisk (probably without any config changes on the ISP end).

In the next week or so, we'll be turning up a new T1 Pri from Cox Cable in Omaha using a T100P (installed but not yet configured). While discussing the interface parameters with a very knowledgable Cox engineer, we decided on some of the basics including b8zs, esf, dchan=24, callerid, 5 digits of called number forwarded to *, and switchtype=national (NI2). They indicated their CO switch is a DMS500 that is compatible with several different switchtypes including 5ess, dms100, etc. * will clock sync from this pri. This system also has a tdm04b (4-port fxo) installed and working, and is expected to remain after the t100p is implemented. Zttool can see both cards at the moment. Questions: 1. Is a switchtype=national (NI2) a reasonable choice, or are there other types that others have found to be more usable/stable with * in the US? 2. Since the current system has a working tdm04b defined as fxsks=1-4 in /etc/zaptel.conf, how will I know when implementing the t100p whether those b-channels should be 5-28 or 1-23? (eg, which card has channel 1? It almost appears that defining the span= first with bchan=1-23 and follow it with fxsks=25-28 (for the tdm04b), is about the only way to do that without creating ambiguity for the reader.) Is that a reasonable approach or assumption? 3. Other then zttool, what other methods have others found useful for diagnosing layer 1 2 type issues remotely during an initial pri install? (After ensuring layer 1/2 functionality, I'm assuming 'pri debug', etc, is most appropriate for diagnosing higher layer and dialplan issues.) 4. In very general terms, when passing incoming pri calls to a specific extensions.conf context, is using 'exten = s,1...' a reasonable way to handle inbound calls initially?

If you are on a PRI, there is no time penalty in call setup to send the entire phone number. In fact, it is beneficial to have the full number as it reduces conflicts later on if you ever want to add numbers. Not to mention you will make your telco provider much happier if they don't have to come up with consecutive phone numbers but rather can pull from any current gaps and possibly across exchange numbers. If you are on an EM Wink where the number is transmitted via DTMF or MF, you will find a time penalty for each digit transmitted and therefore you will want to keep the number of digits low. OF course if you are choosing EM wink, it is possible you aren't wanting to use any of the advance features of the PRI and/or are hamstrung by some other limitation outside of asterisk. Very true! But most likely you will have to specifically request the 10 digit number, by default most telcos (as evidenced by prior postings and my experiences with SBC :-) will give you 4 digits. PRI is definitely the way to go if only for the speed of call setup. Other nice features are the ability to send a PRI hangup cause, so if a given DID is not in use you can signal Out of Service just like the telco... I'm sure there are many more!

(This option wouldl give me two lines to test with, which would be nice.) Buy an analog board and use a dedicated line. (I think we only have one incoming line that I could use for testing. OR, could I use the two POTS ports from our ISDN router and in effect just use the two ISDN data lines as POTS lines? In the long run I think the ISDN BRI interface board will teach you more as you will have access to full and reliable call progress and get a much better idea of how fast connections are established etc. I used the TDM400P and the X100P for my Proof of Concept testing and then switched to a ISDN PRI via T100P for deployment and it took a while to get used to and adapt to. On an analog interface dialing out onto the PSTN asterisk assumes the call is answered (unless call progress is turned on but that is still not 100% reliable). Whereas on an ISDN connection it knows what the state of the line is (i.e. Ringing / Answered / Busy etc). Also on analog incoming call you don't get DNIS so they get dumped into the s extension in the context you define. On ISDN you will get the DNIS and have to parse it in the dialplan. All of this is valuable experience for when you get the T1-PRI for the new location. It will speed up you deployment a lot!
