Re: [Asterisk-Users] ISDN transfer, handoff to masterswitch

For PRI's is ECT / CD the default behavior of asterisk, or is there
code changes (and what are they) to make these features work.

In about 4 weeks, we are getting a test PRI, the quad-span digium
wildcard and a test server.

The behavior we want is not to tie 2 circuits up in the event of
transfer, but to keep asterisk out of the loop and pass it back to the
upstream switch.

Thank you for any comments.

 I have no idea. We use PRI only, not BRI. Hopefully it is in the
 documentation for bristuff.

I don't think ECT is implemented for EuroISDN PRI. There is a similar
feature implemented for som other switch types (2B Channel Transfer for 
another PRI flavour). This is automatic and should be adaptable for ECT on 
EuroISDN. It is possible that brisuff adds ECT support for PRIs as well. 

CD (Call Deflection) I think is done explicitly from the dialplan in 
BriStuff, but I'm not sure. Consult the bristuff package.

[Asterisk-Users] ISDN transfer, handoff to masterswitch

2005-05-04 Thread Alex Mack
Hi!
I've setup * with a Junghanns.net QuadBRI card agaisnt an Ericsson 
MD-110 PBX. All four ISDN channels are setup to simulate  EuroISDN 
Point-to-Point (Anlagenanschluss in Germany) from the Ericsson's side. 
Works well and I have had little problems at all.

Now what's happening during a call transfer of an ISDN call to another 
ISDN destination? Does such a transfer block 2 b-channels (one in and 
one out)? Or is it automatically handed off to the Ericsson so * is out 
of the loop? Is EuroISDN capable of such a handoff? Or do I have to use 
another protocol like Q.SIG for that feature?

I don't have experience with Q.SIG at all. I was happy * worked with the 
EuroISDN trunk so well. But there's the issue with congestioning the 
link to the PBX with too many (in my case 4) forwarded calls.

Does anyone have experiences with this? Are there references for Q-SIG 
out there?

Thanks!
Alex Mack

In EuroISDN this functionallity is provided by ECT (Explicit Call
Transfer) for established calls and CD (Call Deflection) for calls in the 
setup phase. Bristuff supports these according to the documentation.

Q.SIG has one (or possibly several) ways of doing this. At least one of 
these have been implemented in libpri.

I think at least some of the standards are published at
http://www.ecma-international.org/activities/Communications/QSIG_page.htm

Hi Peter!
Thanks for the quick response.
So I'm already doing ECT by using the bristuff'ed version of *?
