Hi,
 
We have a case where we need of 16 x FXS, 12 x FXO and
 1 x E1. To
 do this using Digium products I need of 8 PCI slots. This
 is not
 possible to be done in one computer and that's why I try
 to start
 using TDMoE. Unfortunately all my tries are without
 success. The
 network is crashed everytime.
Can you give me some ideas/suggestions how to solve
 this case?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Semi-OT: Splitting a PRI into two PRI's?

2004-08-11 Thread clive18
Hi

I know of a product called a Parlay which does this, but
its expensive. Someone on the list said that asterisk could
do this with a quad T1 card.

I think that would be very nifty if asterisk could transfer
the isdn calls based on CLID or DNIS before the call is
actually answered.

If you get this working with Asterisk, let us know!

good luck

Clive

Re: [Asterisk-Users] G729 Codec+packet loss concealment

2004-08-03 Thread clive18
Hi

From what I have heard, Asterisk does not allow for iLBC to
take advantage of the lost packet concealment.
I understand this has something to do with the jitter
processing.

If lost packet concealment doesnt work with ilbc, I can
assume the same applies to other codecs who claim to have
this feature.

Hopefully this will be fixed sometime soon, especially for
us folks with less than ideal IP throughput.

Regards
Clive

  Eh? G.729 has no particular features to allow more

 substantially higher bit

 G.729 means you

 properly.

 I believe you're mistaken - G.729 works similar to iLBC
 and speex. iLBC works better as the packets are
 independent but G.729 still has a function for packet
 loss concealment.
 
 prehaps have a look at
 http://www.speex.org/comparison.html

Hi

Here I am quoting Steve Davies:

For IAX2, at least, Asterisk does not use the
lost-packet-concealment of any codec. This is because the
incoming frames clock Asterisk. For iLBC's lost packet
concealment to work, Asterisk would have to start calling
the decoder with a NULL at the point when the missing
packet should 
have arrived.

Can't say for sure for SIP, but I'd guess that its the
same.

Steve

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Hardware Transcoder

2004-06-04 Thread clive18
I have done a quick search and there are some nice looking
dsp-pci cards out there. (Dunno abt prices). It may take
some coding to get them working with Asterisk , and one
would not require a super-power quad xeon processor if it
had a huge dsp card. 

May be an interesting way to scale asterisk for a large
install.

 Most of us use asterisk for smaller applications, so this
is not a major concern.

Good luck!

[Asterisk-Users] bri stuff Issues

2004-06-03 Thread clive18
Hi all

I am attempting to install bristuff, and have not had much
success.

I have my kernel sources installed (RH9), and am following
the instructions step by step.

Things seems to fall off the rails when I try make make
clean all in the zaphfc directory, which is part of the
install.sh script. The error messages I have included
below.

I am wondering if the fact that I have fxo and fxs modules
installed in my machine as well is an issue.

Any advice or pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Clive

My advice is just sell them.

no-one I know is bothered with Icasa approval, as long as
it works, its fine.

That card has FCC approval, as far as I know.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Problems with IAX2?

2004-04-07 Thread clive18
Hi

I am also having jitter trouble on IAX2, and I can vouch
that the jitter buffer is busted.

 Are there open problems/issues with iax2 and jitter

 Just upgraded to today's dev cvs about an hour ago, and
 it seems the iax
 conversations are lower quality then a month or two
 ago. iax2 show firmware
 says version 13. (Test call originated from C7960 with
 g711.)
 
 
 
 I noticed the same thing.  Jitter buffer apparently is
 broken, and has always been.  I was advised to say
 jitterbuffer=no in iax.conf, but I swear it's better with
 it set to yes and then executing iax2 set jitter 250 in
 the CLI.  At least it was before I cvs up'd.  :-)
   
 
 
 I found a jitter buffer bug in IAX2 a short while ago.
  It could potentially lead to misordered frames in
 conversations, and does so quite often when the sender of
 frames is using iaxclient under win9x.   I compensated
 for this with a change in iaxclient, but the problem
 could also happen in asterisk-generated frames.
 
 
 See :

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4096021forum_id=29380
 
 I don't know if this is the bug people are hitting, or
 not, though.
 
 
 
 Jeremy (of NuFone fame) has his jitterbuffer=no on his
 servers and since he's my VOIP provider I tend to just
 try and match his setup in terms of IAX2 anyway.  I
 dunno, I do agree with you that it seemed better a while
 ago.

 Andrew

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dial up adapter

2004-03-01 Thread clive18
Jason, hi

Don't waste your time on old technology.

This was done on the old komodo phone , sold by net2phone
as a yap jack and there are some ipphones (VIC phone) comes
to mind with an analogue modem built in.

We even have adsl here in parts of Africa, (not that its
got any bandwidth throughput) so rather go buy a nice cisco
or grandstream.

my 2c :)
