[Asterisk-Users] Slight OT: Multi WAN Router and SIP Calls

2005-09-08 Thread Geoff Manning
We are drafting a plan for a new office setup. The users will be using Cisco 7940 phones registered to a remote Asterisk server. We were thinking of using two ADSL lines coming into a Multi-WAN router to allow for load balancing. As opposed to setting up half the users on one ADSL line, half on

[Asterisk-Users] check_asterisk commands

2005-10-04 Thread Geoff Manning
One of the command line parameters is the -c flag which is supposed to allow you to run custom commands. Does that mean commands that I can write into the check_asterisk perl script?? It doesn't allow you to run the asterisk manager commands that I can see. Anyone using check_asterisk for anything

[Asterisk-Users] Results of an incorrect crossover pinout??

Say I had a crossover cable that connected a Mitel SX200 to a TE110P and the pinout was done as such: 1 - 4 2 - 5 5 - 1 4 - 2 (the 5 and 4 are transposed on the left side) Instead of the proper way of: 1 - 4 2 - 5 4 - 1 5 - 2 What would the results be? We have had the former as our

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and Mitel SX 200 Slip and Frame Errors causing Major Ala rms

We have integrated an Asterisk (TE110P) and a Mitel SX200. We usually get over 500 frame errors and over a 500 slip errors per hour. When the errors reach 1000 per hour the Mitel will take it's T1 card offline. At that point no calls can be routed from the Asterisk server to the Mitel and the
