Re: [asterisk-users] VoIP over satellite internet
I work on the salmon river in Idaho as a computer/radio tech. All of the satellite isp's do not have the upstream capability. Skype barely works. (you have to try upwards of 20 times for it to work) If I have to make phone calls when I am there I always use the SSB Radiophone or satellite phone because it is far far far more reliable and doesn't irritate the living hell out of the person your calling. I have tried 2-3 different VoIP providers all have the exact same result. The other side only hears a few pieces of word or nothing at all and hangs up. I have tried this on Starband (360 480 modems) wild blue Starband also has outages during the day where you cant see their satellite. Most of the satellite ISP's also have rolling bandwith caps. (Starbands is 1gig down 300megs up in a 7 day period for the plans I deal with) Overall I think its a bad idea. It most likely will not work. --Don On 5/8/09 10:56 PM, Frank Bulk frnk...@iname.com wrote: If people don't mind taking turns talking, it will work. It's just going to be like talking on a CB.

What is the effect of latency on the VoIP path and how much is generally tolerable? routing via satellite adds about a quarter second of latency to the path. Is that too much?

The ADT alarm going thru VoIP will create a life safety issue.

I have a few sites that use them succesfully with multi-port Audiocodes boxes, but just connected ten machines to Linksys 2102s and they are very flaky. Using u-law on a 100Mb switched network that is barely utilized, then out a T1 on a Sangoma card. Perhaps there is some tuning on the Linksys or the credit card machine itself? Going to look into reducing the baud rate on the machines, but sadly the bank has them password protected and wants to charge a reprogramming fee :( They make credit card terminals with Ethernet -- use that instead. The client's processor charges 7c/transaction over IP (plus normal charges), so they are quite keen to keep it working the way it was before I replaced their PBX ;) As a followup, *99 prepended on any Linksys ATA does indeed make a difference in modem reliability. Both their CCs and their ADT alarm devices now function reliably. I also reduced the CC baud rate to 300 baud (!), and it is rock solid now! j ___ -- 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 ___ -- 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

Is it the responsibility of the business owner that orders the system to meet all applicable codes? If (god forbid) someone was hurt in such a situation and the alarm didn't get passed because of being delivered by VoIP for whatever reason, does the system installer have any liability? well here's a question - which is more reliable ? - a single copper line dialed on demand when there is a problem - voip or other internet technology, using internet connections on more than one media (say phone and cable), voip connected to multiple servers in a failover configuration. its not uncommon for even a house to have multiple internet connections, but how many buildings have phone lines that connect back to different CO's and fail over ? The best bet if you really care about what you are trying to protect is make sure the message can get out as many ways as possible, whether it be phone, voip, network, cellmodem, etc. Forget what regulations require, no one says you can't go further than the minimum if you want. In a REAL emergency internet/cell is more likely to fail than the phone companys pots network. Cable/DSLAM etc only have about 4 hours of battery power. The CO has a entire battery room which will last a whole lot longer. Not to mention that it may stay up longer than your VoIP network. You also have to take into account everything between you the CO or cable company. If just ONE thing fails you loose voip. Copper is a lot more forgiving has failover modes versus the phone co's ATM network or the cable companies network (or lack there of) --Don j On Tue, 17 Feb 2009, Jason Aarons (US) wrote: http://www.iccsafe.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=001650 ;p=1 I can't see the Dept Transportation running copper to all the motorist aid boxes along the highway.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk Pix firewalls
Hi, I asked this last week but i didn't get any answer So i will elaborate on my question. I need to setup a pix 515 firewall (running 7.2.2 OS) to allow sip traffic thru it from a sip phone wherever i may be. The pix is where all my servers are colocated and i will need to connect thru it from softphones / hardphones wherever i happen to be traveling. I need help setting up the pix for inbound and outbound sip/iax traffic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
