Yes, a Xorcom PRI module should be able to take fit here and get timing from the main Zaptel / DAHDI timing source on the system. IIRC, though (some? all?) Digium digital cards have a sync cable option which may be what you need here. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:gu...@local.xorcom.com/tzafrir ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] timing source problem
hi all, we do have some troubles with zaptel timing source - we have a setup with 3 telco PRI lines, connected to asterisk digium card 0 - asterisk does some handling - calls are leaving on digium card 1 - going to a siemens hipath - there is some call handling - some of the calls then are going from the hipath over a qsig line to a bosch integral PBX - handling the rest of the calls. To be able to get away from the bosch system - we like to put asterisk (1 port free on each card) in the middle of the path siemens - bosch - so that it will be siemens - card 0 asterisk card 1 - bosch.

Re: [asterisk-users] timing source problem
Hello, I would suggest that you first methodically try every possible combination of zaptel.conf timing settings(each change follwed by a hard reboot of the Asterisk server) to see if there is a magic combination of settings that will work. I don't know if you have the time for that, or if it takes a while for the timing issues to appear, but that is what I would try. If that still doesn't work, we have solved similar issues with older(2 years ago) Digium quad cards by switching to Sangoma hardware that offers more options for forcing timing in it's wanpipe driver software. Although when I posted about this before in another thread the folks from Digium swear that newer Digium cards(with newer firmware) do not have this problem using the newer Dahdi drivers. What version of Zaptel are you using and how old is your Digium card?

Re: [asterisk-users] timing source problem
Hello, the issue does occour some seconds after connection the line - but the hard reboot takes some time... The cards are TE420 (4th Gen) - version c01a016a. Zaptel ist 1.4.12.1 The firmware on digium cards can not get flashed - or i am wrong (i have never heard about that) regards, Wolfgang Am Freitag, den 24.04.2009, 06:50 -0400 schrieb Matt Florell: Hello, I would suggest that you first methodically try every possible combination of zaptel.conf timing settings(each change follwed by a hard reboot of the Asterisk server) to see if there is a magic combination of settings that will work.
