Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco
Thank you guys for your response, One FXS port can only handle one call. A PRI T1 gateway can handle 23 call channels. A single T1 Data line with SIP can handle about 18 call channels running G711, 37 channels running g729 I just want to make sure that a T1 Gateway (capable of 23 call channels), plugged into an FXS port (capable of one call), is not a bottleneck. I.e., even though our network can handle upto 23 channels, we can only support 1 concurrent call becuase of the single FXS? What I am trying to figure out is what would I need to have the same capabilities as a company offering DIDs. Which mediant, and maybe a nice illustration?

Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco
I realized there was an error in my last post. I meant analog gateway plugged into and FXO port. DIDs must start somwhere. And I am under the impression that the telcos are the one that have control over that? Therefore, we would first need an analog gateway plugged into an FXO, before being able to go through the T1s and media servers? Your insight is greatly appreciated.

Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco
A telco could either give you a analog line like the old phone line which you have at home with 1 number and 1 line or a T1 which comes from the telcos office to yours and plugs directly into a digital gateway with 23 lines and lots of numbers. and no need at all for analog gateways on the way If you are going to use a T1 you should return the MP124 you have no need for that -Original Message- From: Nick Khamis sym...@gmail.com Sender: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 09:07:11 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussionasterisk-users@lists.digium.com Reply-To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco I realized there was an error in my last post.

Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco
What is your target PBX is it Asterisk? If so your best method is to take calls in direct via SIP trunks, but there are PRI and FXO options available as well. You can not use an FXS gatway to plug to the Telco Service lines. SIP Trunk - Asterisk or Like VOIP compliant PBX.. If your PBX is not SIP complaint here is a method you can use to get SIP into that. SIP Trunk - SIP to PRI Grateway - PBX with PRI input. If your PBX does not have the PRI option and only analog channel inputs FXO SIP Trunk - SIP to FXS Gatway - PBX with FXO inputs Thanks Bryant Zimmerman (ZK Tech Inc.) 616-855-1030 Ext. 2003 From: isr...@gmail.com Sent: Friday, November 04, 2011 9:11 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco A telco could either give you a analog line like the old phone line which you have at home with 1 number and 1 line or a T1 which comes from the telcos office to yours and plugs directly into a digital gateway with 23 lines and lots of numbers. and no need at all for analog gateways on the way If you are going to use a T1 you should return the MP124 you have no need for that -Original Message- From: Nick Khamis sym...@gmail.com Sender: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 09:07:11 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussionasterisk-users@lists.digium.com Reply-To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco I realized there was an error in my last post.

Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco
It might be a good idea for you to describe your application and ask for suggestions. How many concurrent calls do you need to handle? Do you need a few (or many) DIDs (actual phone numbers)? Are the DIDs in a single geographic area, or scattered all over the country(ies)? Is your application inbound-only, or will you be making outbound calls? Or will you be redirecting calls to outside agents? What is there about the SIP providers that you find unsatisfactory? --Don Don Kelly PCF Corp People Come First 651 842-1000 651 842-1001 fax -Original Message- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Nick Khamis Sent: Friday, November 04, 2011 7:47 AM To: isr...@gmail.com; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco Thank you guys for your response, One FXS port can only handle one call.

Hello Bryant, I just realized how much information Nick has left out. Basically we would like to function as a DID vendor. Yes, everything on our end will be converted into SIP using G711 codec . We have an OC48 coming into our network, and a contact with the local telco here willing to supply us with a block of phone numbers. The target would be: Telco Block of Numbers - Our Mediant Gateway (E1/T1) - Our SIP Proxy - Customer - SIP Trunk - Terminated Call As you know the customer could be: * Another SIP Proxy * A SIP PBX Are E1/T1 mediants capable of handling OC connections?

This is only true for PRI, T-1 and other PSTN services.

Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco
Berry The local Telco's have control over the local phone numbers but they make share/collocation/LNP agreements with other carriers and VOIP interconnect carriers so numbers get swapped/leased and rented between different vendors. As a VOIP interconnected carrier this allows us access to 90% of US number markets. If there is a market that we need that one of our partners does not have we try to partner with a player in that region or someone who has. If that does not work we can then collocate equipment with that local carrier to get access. This then extends our network reach to that region. The goal is to achieve the highest quality lowest cost routes to regions our customers are willing to pay for.

As for other Telcos around the world, for example Bell South in the states, is it possible to have them route a block of Florida phone numbers to our FXS port here in Canada, or do we have to have a T1 gateway + SIP Proxy in Florida, routing the calls to our setup in Toronto and vice versa?

Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco
Fair enough, In regards to the the diagram discussed earlier: Telco Lines - Gateway T1 - SIP Proxy - Media Servers - Customer I understand that a T1 Gateway that has 480 channels, can handle up to 240 calls. That is more than enough for the Gateway T1 - SIP Proxy part of the diagram. I just want to make terribly sure I understand the Telco Lines - Gateway T1. If the Gateway T1 plugs into only 1 FXS port, is that FXS port only capable of handling 2 channels, i.e., one call? Thanks in Advnace, Nick.

Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco
The mp124 is a analog gateway and doesn't support t1's I think A T1 is a digital line which has 24 channels per port which means 24 calls concurrently if you want more channels you need more ports DID's are incoming numbers the telco sends down your trunk(port) you could have thousands of DID's on 1 T1 You need a digital gateway for connecting to a T1 Did you check if your provider will give you a T1 or maybe they could provide you a sip trunk which will save you on the hardware -Original Message- From: Nick Khamis sym...@gmail.com Sender: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2011 22:10:31 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussionasterisk-users@lists.digium.com Reply-To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco Fair enough, In regards to the the diagram discussed earlier: Telco Lines - Gateway T1 - SIP Proxy - Media Servers - Customer I understand that a T1 Gateway that has 480 channels, can handle up to 240 calls. That is more than enough for the Gateway T1 - SIP Proxy part of the diagram. I just want to make terribly sure I understand the Telco Lines - Gateway T1. If the Gateway T1 plugs into only 1 FXS port, is that FXS port only capable of handling 2 channels, i.e., one call? Thanks in Advnace, Nick.

Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco
One FXS port can only handle one call. A PRI T1 gateway can handle 23 call channels. A single T1 Data line with SIP can handle about 18 call channels running G711, 37 channels running g729 Thanks Bryant Zimmerman (ZK Tech Inc.) 616-855-1030 Ext. 2003 From: Nick Khamis sym...@gmail.com Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2011 10:09 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco Fair enough, In regards to the the diagram discussed earlier: Telco Lines - Gateway T1 - SIP Proxy - Media Servers - Customer I understand that a T1 Gateway that has 480 channels, can handle up to 240 calls.
