Re: [asterisk-users] How to set BRI-to-BRI trunk using 2 HA8+B400M cards [SOLVED]
2011/6/22 Richard Mudgett rmudg...@digium.com The link between the Asterisk boxes must not be terminated on both ends. Termination resistors on both ends is practically guaranteed to cause link issues. Very interesting but I'm afraid I still don't get it. For various reasons, my goal is build an asterisk + patton solution that will be later plugged into 8 BRIs like this (hoping my ASCII art will work) : Patton x4 BRI PSTN | | | | Asterisk1 x4 BRI Connections like this? Patton -- x4 BRI --- PSTN Asterisk1 --- x4 BRI --- PSTN Asterisk1 --- BRI?? Patton Asterisk1- SIP- Patton (Cross link between Asterisk1 and Patton (Beware of potential clock loop)) The box Asterisk2 ast I referred to it previously, is here to behave as the PSTN. As a consequence, I tought that : 1. I should set each Asterisk2 port as NT/PTP. The NT/PTP port should not have termination resistors enabled.

I'm asking because, thanks to your advice, it is working today tough the same settings (it seems) failed yesterday. For reference, here are my settings: AST1 BRI AST2 BRI Patton AST1: span=1,1,0,ccs,ami,term,te signalling = bri_cpe AST2 (port1 to AST1): span=1,0,0,ccs,ami,term,nt signalling = bri_net AST2 (port2 to Patton): span=2,0,0,ccs,ami,nt signalling = bri_net Other experimental findings: When connecting one Asterisk box in NT mode to a single box (either an Asterisk box or a Patton), is does work no matter how termination is se (for this NT box). When connecting one Asterisk box in NT mode to 2 boxes (an Asterisk box and a Patton), then termination settings matter. Anyway, thank you very much for your help. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] How to set BRI-to-BRI trunk using 2 HA8+B400M cards
My setup is: Asterisk1 w/ HA8+B400M --- Asterisk2 w/ HA8+B400M --- Patton SN4638 Asterisk1 is in TE/PtP (with termination) Asterisk2 is in NT/PtP( with termination) Patton is in TE/PtP The cable between Asterisk boxes is an RJ11M-RJ11M (custom made with pinouts 1 to 1, 2 to 2, ...). The cable between Asterisk2 and Patton boxes is an RJ11M-RJ45M from Digium package At the moment, I can't get a stable trunk (as described above) between 2 Asterisk boxes but I can get a stable one betwen Asterisk2 and Patton boxes. Once I could once pass a phone between both boxes but most of the time, the trunk is down : asterisk -rx pri show spans PRI span 1/0: Provisioned, In Alarm, Down, Active ... or ... asterisk -rx pri show spans PRI span 1/0: Provisioned, Up, Active PRI span 2/0: Provisioned, In Alarm, Down, Active In Asterisk1 (the TE/PtP box), config is : /etc/dahdi/system.conf span=1,1,0,ccs,ami,term,te bchan=1-2 hardhdlc=3 echocanceller=oslec,1-2 /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf ; Span 1: WCBRI/0/0 HA8- Board 1 (MASTER) AMI/CCS RED group=1,11 context=remote switchtype = euroisdn signalling = bri_cpe channel = 1-2 context = default group = 63 In Asterisk2 (the NT/PtP box), config is : /etc/dahdi/system.conf span=2,0,0,ccs,ami,term,nt # termtype: nt bchan=4-5 hardhdlc=6 echocanceller=oslec,4-5 /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf ; Span 2: WCBRI/0/1 HA8- Board 1 group=1,12 context=remote switchtype = euroisdn signalling = bri_net channel = 4-5 context = default group = 63 Please, take note that : A. port 1 in Asterisk1 is connected to port2 in Asterisk2. B. port 1 in Asterisk2 is connected to a Patton 4638 port. C. ports 1 and 2 in Asterisk2 belongs to the same group (using 2 different groups doesn't change anything, it seems but I didn't digg much). D. I'm using asterisk 1.6.1.18, libpri 1.4.11.5 and dahdi 2.4.1(.2) How can I make this work ? Suggestions The link between the Asterisk boxes must not be terminated on both ends. Termination resistors on both ends is practically guaranteed to cause link issues. Also make sure that clocking is only supplied by one side of the link. (The Asterisk1 clock should be slaved to Asterisk2 which should be in slaved to the Patton link.) Richard -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
