[Asterisk-Users] static noise with this hardware any advice

2005-08-19 Thread Patrick Fortin

Follow-up on this

We have tried several things without success.

Digium responded that the problem was NMI (non-maskable interrupts) and 
told me to boot linux with the nmi_watchdog=0 option


It did not solve the problem.

Finally I replaced the TDM card with an older one (revision F) 2FXO 2FXS

And the static noise is gone !!

Anobody have an idea why this happened

Of course it doesn't solve my problem because we have one old card and 
several new card but it may give digium an idea of where is my problem

Hi

We have static noise problem on our asterisk server. latest stable release.
The card is a new TDM04B

We have it installed on the following hardware

Motherboard Intel SE7520BD2SCSI
2x POWER SUPPLY 730W INTEL

I will not mention the other hardware because we have desactivated/changed 
all the other items

The only 2 items that we have not changed is the mobo and the power supply.

At first it was on scsi drives but we re-installed using a IDE drive
We deactivated the two onboard nic and tried two different brand.
We have deactivated hyper-treading
We have deactivated USB
We have deactivated SATA
We have tried a noise-cancelling power-bar
We have tried two different phones lines
We have tried several IP phones, Cisco, Snom, Gnet
(There is no noise for a call between two phones)
The phone is connected directly in the nic card so there is no network 
problem possible.

We have tried several TDM Card

Anybody knows if the motherboard or the power-supply could be the problem ?

The power supply could definitely be the problem. You tried a difference
TDM04B right?

I am going through a similar procedure. I contacted Digium support but they
say my hw is not supported (Dell SC420). They are right, but I have another
installation of this in another location without the line noise. AND, I put
the TE110P card in another supported motherboard and have the same noise.

What are your results with zttest?? Is it above 98.5% 

How about IRQ sharing (# lspci -vb ) or (# lspci -v)?

What kernel are you running? I am running 2.6.11 and I am passing this as
kernel parameters at boot:

kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.11 root=/dev/md0 ro acpi=off noapic

The acpi=off and noapic is what helped get my zttest score to a near
100%.

Hope something here helps, either way I'll be watching this thread to
perhaps solve my own problem.

Since you say TDM04B, I guess you are talking about noise on FXO ports. So, 
my guess is that your opermode setting for zaptel driver is wrong? This may 
be true especially if the noise can be avoided or considerably reduced by 
playing with rx/txgain. At least that was the experience I had with my FXO 
modules. Hope this helps.
