[asterisk-users] Advice needed - asterisk Mitel 200SX
Greetings: I have a Mitel 200SX PBX right now that is experiencing some voicemail difficulties. The voicemail system is a SmoothOperator system - yep, thats right, genuine 1995 Dos-based ISA motherboard technology running our corp voicemail system. In a word, boring and quickly becoming unstable. Does anyone have any experience with implementing Asterisk as the voicemail provider for a Mitel system like the 200SX? The voicemail lines are dual discreet lines (2 lines, 1 cord, analog), the boards in the SmoothOperator are Dialogic boards (ISA). 6 lines are the lines feeding the voicemail and 2 lines are signaling. Oh yeah, the SmoothOperator system is also doing all ACD functions as well. I need to replace the SmoothOperator system - now. Hints, tips, ideas would be helpful. No we are NOT replacing the Mitel. No we are not shifting the PBX functionality to Asterisk. This is voice mail and ACD only. It would be nice if I could recycle the Dialogic cards but that's not a major requirement - I can always go to a pair of Digium TDM cards if needed. I appreciate any and all advice! Thanks!

[asterisk-users] PRI problems - no D channel
Hey guys: I am having a bit of a problem with our PRI under Asterisk. I am seeing the following error every 10 seconds... Aug 17 08:54:55 WARNING[2458]: chan_zap.c:2289 pri_find_dchan: No D-channels available! Using Primary channel 24 as D-channel anyway! Of course, I have the d-chan defined in /etc/zaptel.conf... loadzone = us span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs bchan=1-23 dchan=24 Neat thing is: this worked yesterday and isn't working today (Asterisk isn't answering the PRI on any inbound DID). zttool shows no problems with the T100 and no alarm conditions.

Re: [asterisk-users] PRI problems - no D channel
The PRI is connected at one end to an Adtran Atlas, I believe a 600. The other end of the PRI is connected to a Digium T100. The two are seperated by roughly 10 foot of cat-5. Motherboard is whatever Dell put into their Precision 530MT line of workstations. Like I said, it worked just fine yesterday and today I am getting D-Channel errors. Thanks for your assistance!

Re: [asterisk-users] PRI problems - no D channel
Quoting C F [EMAIL PROTECTED]: My guess is it's some Intel mobo. Did you restart the system since? If you did that might be the problem, try restarting and unplug the power for at least 60 seconds before powering it back up. That was the first thing I tried: first trying to unload/reload the wct1xxp and zaptel modules, then reload them, then tried rebooting the computer (multiple times), then this morning, I gave it a 30 minute time out. No effect - still getting the D-chan errors. Unfortunately, the system is some 90 miles north of here so I can't verify if anything on the Adtran has changed or not (or reseat cables). My remote hands aren't available right now either so I can't verify anything regarding the circuit at this time. The fact that I am not getting any error reports at all about the transport (HDLC type errors) tends to make me think that the circuit is fine. I would have to imagine that if the channel switched from PRI to T1 it would throw all kinds of errors. Same thing if the signaling or buildout or what not was incorrect. The only errors I am seeing are the ones about the D channel not being there, and one (probably quite related) about head of queue has not been transmitted yet.

RE: [asterisk-users] PRI problems - no D channel
Quoting Bill Gibbs [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I know but you could save some time and have it tested while waiting...they might find a problem and save you a lot of headache. I can tell you are one of the rare people who actually checks their stuff before calling anyone but like another posted said, D Channels tend to be provider related for some reason! Very true that is - I just like to be 1000% certain that I am not causing my own headaches! Yes, it's a bit time consuming but it tends to save heavily on the crow when it comes time to figure out where the problem actually lies. Plus it really helps to have all your ducks in a row when dealing with an ILEC - they just don't seem to have much of a sense of humor about these things. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Gage Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 3:29 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] PRI problems - no D channel Quoting Bill Gibbs [EMAIL PROTECTED]: What does the telco say when they test the circuit?

Re: [asterisk-users] Resolved: PRI problems - no D channel
I wish to thank everyone for their assistance and input into this PRI issue I was having. The problem was the Adtran - one of the PRI channels on it (the one I was plugged into - lucky me) went bad. Moving me to another channel on the Adtran fixed the problem. Thanks again for all your help!

[asterisk-users] Config quesiton: all inbound on PRI
Hi: I am configuring an Asterisk server with all inbound only lines on a PRI using a T100 card. The card works and Asterisk sees all the lines. My problem is that Asterisk refuses to answer any of the lines unless there is an extension defined for it in extensions.conf. I want all inbound lines to drop into an inbound context without having to define each DID in extensions.conf. Can someone please provide me a bit of a clue as to how to set this up? Thanks!
