[Asterisk-Users] What type of T1 Cards to use for my Asterisk PBX

2006-06-19 Thread dthurn
My Telco is bringing a T1 line to my company. It will be delivered via 
Copper. From my research on the net and in this group, I've found out that I 
have the following options:


·  OPTION 1 - Ensure that the My PBX Equipment (CPE) provides a T1 
interface.
·  OPTION 2 - Convert the T1 into 24 standard analog lines. This would 
require channel bank.


I use Asterisk, my existing system has 12 analog trunk lines. From the 
options mentioned above,


1) Are there any preferences with Option 1 vs Option 2?
What do you recommend.?

Thanks
---Dakota

Re: [Asterisk-Users] T1 Copper or T1 Fiber Line

2006-06-17 Thread dthurn

Thanks for the inso...

So T1 lines in the United States also use copper lines from the company to 
the telephone exchange in some installations?


What's the benefit to the subscriber to this?

Any T1 I've seen in the last 3 years has actually been DS1-over-HDSL2. 
What
comes in to the building is a single pair of copper into the smartjack, 
and
then you have a traditional DSX1 to plug in to.  I don't think real T1s 
(in

the physical sense) have existed for years.

Before DS1-over-HDSL2 the ones I had provisioned were DS1-over-HDSL (2 
copper

pairs)... never had a real, genuine T1.

But again... you don't get to play with that side of it.  You order a T1, 
you
get a smartjack that has a T1 jack (DSX1) on it and what's on the other 
side

is irrelevant.

[Asterisk-Users] Where's the Fiber

2006-06-17 Thread dthurn

Where's the Fiber?
I was reading about T1 lines and came across this statement.. It basically 
said T1's are made up of copper...Wasn't T1 made up of Fiber? Is the new 
trend to move T1 away from fiber and use copper?

page 4

T1 Physical Characteristics

A T1 is physically made up of two balanced pairs of copper wire (commonly 
known


as twisted pair). The pairs are used in a full duplex configuration where 
one pair


transmits information and the other pair receives information. Customer 
Premises


Equipment (CPE) typically terminate a T1 with a RJ-48C jack. The following

illustration shows a typical T1 cable and interface.

[Asterisk-Users] T1 Copper or T1 Fiber Line

2006-06-16 Thread dthurn
I am located in the Caribbean, we already have an Asterisk PBX box, and are 
planning on getting a T1 line.


The Phone company said they will run the T1 line over copper. So basically 
it's a T1 copper line.
Is something like that possible? and if so, what would I need to get and do 
to be able to get this type of T1 line to work.


Thanks
Dakota

how I know it in the UK.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Camp on?

Hi all,

In .nl there is a feature provided by the incumbent that I would like to
implement for an internal PBX setup. The incumbents feature does the
following (adopted for internal PBX use, so no external/PSTN numbers are
used):

1) pick up phone and dial an internal extension
2) if other side is busy, play a message press 5 to get connected
  once the other side becomes available
3) press 5 on phone
4) hangup
5) wait till phone starts ringing
6) pick up phone
7) other extension is automatically dialed again and you should hear it
  ring

I believe this is called camp on. Found some examples on voip-info.org
but they assume that you do not hangup the originating phone. Anyone
have an idea how to implement this feature as described above?

Thanks and regards,
Patrick

[Asterisk-Users] Need Help! -- Incoming calls are just ringing and not hitting the Digital Receptionist

2006-04-26 Thread dthurn
My system worked fine all day. Then about an hour ago the following 
happened.


1) When someone dials in to us, their phone just rings our number and the 
digital receptionist never picks up.
Any ideas what can cause this. I did not do any upgrades, configurations or 
reboots.


What direction should I be looking at for a solution to this problem?

Thanks!!
