 Hello,

 thanks for the answers!!! You mentionned to use the switch command. I

 understand what it is actually doing. Can someone point me to the
 right direction?


I would do this:
Create a single numbering plan for all users on your network
Get each server to have extensions from 1-999. Then assign to each server
its code.
Depending on how many servers you have (or will have) you could use 1-9 or
11-99 or more but
you must have server's code number of digits same accross your network.

Now , get all these servers link/register to each other using IAX. Stephen,
is right DO NOT use TDMoE for this
purpose. As to TDMoE, my understanding (I have not tried it) is that it uses
FULL bandwidth assigned at all times. Can your
IP connectivity cope with that?


Once you have this setup, your local users (users registered to same server)
can call each by dialing local extension(1-999). Network users on the other
hand need to know FULL dialing digits for a network user. For example a user
from server A need to know FULL number ($SERVER CODE + LOCAL EXTENSION) for
all other network users. This number users will give each other or you can
make it available to all users by some other method.

I think TDMoE is the only channel type where you can group different 
Interfaces into a single group.

E.g. for using Dial(ZAP/g1/12345), I think you cannot group different 
IAX accounts and use them via Dial(IAX/g1/12345). Or am I wrong??

IAX with groups doesn't make sense. IAX being a network protocol is not
physical port limited like PSTN hardware. Your trick here is to
understand that you can dial via IAX from one machine to another and the
second machine then takes the incoming call and does it's own
Dial(Zap/g1/12345). Or with the use of a switch command, the IAX
connections to the other side is implied and the remote side says it can
complete the call so the user machine says, okay, do it.
TDMoE has a limitation of X channels per link, and some people have
noted troubles when trying to use more than one TDMoE circuit. IAX has
no trouble talking to mulitple places and multiple calls.

The switch command is helpful in tieing multiple machines together.
Switch allows you to have one asterisk machine ask another if it can
complete a call. Think of it a bit like a remote include. Basically from
a context on machine A, you set up a switch statement to machine B in a
specific context. Whenever machine B says it can complete the call, you
end up with an implied IAX call to machine B.

[Asterisk-Users] TDMoE questions

2004-09-11 Thread Marc Storck
Hello,
I want to link several * boxes together. Some of them are dedicated as 
user servers (SIP and IAX clients connect to them) and some are used 
as PRI servers (where the PRIs are hooked onto).

I think TDMoE is the only channel type where you can group different 
Interfaces into a single group.

E.g. for using Dial(ZAP/g1/12345), I think you cannot group different 
IAX accounts and use them via Dial(IAX/g1/12345). Or am I wrong??

So I looked at the WIKI and it shows an example using em signalling. 
What other signallings are supported by TDMoE?

How many TDMoE trunks with 30 channels each may I run on a 100 Mbit/s 
LAN dedicated to TDMoe???

Regards,
Marc

Hi,

Unless you have a very large configuration, the bandwidth of a 100Mbps 
ethernet will not be the issue. Theoretically you could have 10 E1's worth of 
TDMoE traffic on a single 100Mbps wire. I have sucessfully used EuroISDN with 
one 31 channel TDMoE (E1 is 32 64Kbps channels, where one is used for 
framming, so you have 31 useable channels).

You could use Trunked IAX2 as well, the advantage is to avoid cross-coding, as 
TDMoE can only use uLaw/aLaw, while trunked IAX2 can use any useable Asterisk 
codec. However TDMoE to PRI/FXS/FXO connections are more efficient, as they 
can use zaptel bridging.
