I did not know that the price was that low.

You understand perfectly fine the situation :) .

[asterisk-users] Modem bridging on Asterisk (no VoIP involved)
Hi everybody. I know maybe this question has been posted some time ago, but I need your updated opinion on the subject. I'm replacing our old pbx with asterisk. I have two TE207 dual pri (e1) cards on a clustered system (one on each node). I absolutely need to connect 4/5 analog extensions with modems, they're being used for remote assistance on very old systems which cannot be upgraded to native IP links. Is there a good hardware that can bridge the e1 lines on the digium te207 card to my modems? A PCI card? An external box? I don't want to relay modem connections over ip, I just need to bridge them internally on the asterisk server: E1 == TE207 == Asterisk == (some hardware with FXS) == modems TIA for your replies. -- Alberto Pastore B-Press Srl - Gruppo MSoft P.IVA 01697420030 P.le Lombardia, 4 - 28100 Novara - Italy Tel. 0321-499508 Fax 0321-492974 http://www.msoft.it ___ -- 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

[asterisk-users] modem through Zaptel/Digium?
This is just a low priority curiosity question because I have a usable workaround. I have Digium card that uses the Zaptel driver (can't get to my home machine right now to get the exact model, but it probably doesn't matter). It's a card with one POTS line and three extension hookups. I'm using Asterisk 1.4 and Zaptel 1.4.7 . One of the extension ports is connected to a modem on another computer. This is a FAX modem that works well; I have * programmed to detect incoming faxes and route them to this modem, and it works seamlessly. I can also send outbound faxes with no problem. The curiosity is that this modem does not work for dialup unless I bypass the * server and connect it directly to the wallplate, then it works fine. I don't see why it would be able to detect carrier and negotiate with a fax machine through * and Zaptel, but not with a dialup server. --Greg ___ -- 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

[asterisk-users] modem passthru

Basicly to ilustrate : Accounting department need to connect with analog modem to their bank to order some wire transfert. Modem - Chanel Bank FXS - Asterisk - TDM2400 FXO - Modem in remote site. Actulaly, the modem dial, wait and disconnect after 1-2 minutes because It couldn't connect. Any sugestion ? Thank you in advance.

Actulaly, the modem dial, wait and disconnect after 1-2 minutes because It couldn't connect. It's only *remotely* possible if everything's G.711 all the way through, I think. If there are any analog transitions in the middle (and possibly even if there aren't) you won't get anything over 33k6bps, and probably less than that. *Any* phase non-coherence will break anything faster than 202/212, I'm pretty sure.

[asterisk-users] Modem calls
Hi,
I need to pass modem calls through a TDM400 card. Conecting the modem
to the FXS port (ZAP/1), it should be put through the FXO port (ZAP/4)
directly.
Even though Echo cancellation is disabled in both lines the call is
never successful. Modems speak for some time and then the line is hang
up with the message No answer from remote side. I send thereafter
some traces in case someone is interested.
I know modem calls are not easy as something is messed up in the
signaling going through asterisk but has someone been successful in an
easy configuration such as this one?
Thanks,
Jose

Re: [asterisk-users] Modem calls
I need to pass modem calls through a TDM400 card. Conecting the modem to the FXS port (ZAP/1), it should be put through the FXO port (ZAP/4) directly. According to Digium, Fax calls (and modem calls) are not supported on the TDM400 or TDM2400. They are designed for voice only. If you get it to work, you're lucky. Sangoma test all their cards with faxes, so maybe you should try their card. For your problem, run zttest and adjust everything to try to obtain 100%, this may make it work. hth ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Modem Connections to PPP Server
I think that timing issues will kill you, but if it were going to work you would want to use ulaw all the way around as your codec. a better option would be to use more traditional terminal server/remote access server type hardware off of an actual copper pstn line. you can pick up terminal servers off of ebay if cost is an issue, such as lucent max 4048s and cisco 5400s. voip just is not a good way to carry a modem call Casey Boone Denis Vella wrote: Hi, I'm trying to use modems with Asterisk+VoIP Gateways in an attempt at providing an Internet service.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Modem Over IP: solutions ?
Hey jean, I have had to deal with the same situation many times what we have come to the conclusion is you can actully get them to work only under the 4-2 signaling that the alarm companys use. Just about all alarms now are set to use contact id which we have found out that we send the data ok but we don't get a kiss back telling the alarm to silent. Note the different between 4-2 and contact id are 4-2 basically calls and says there is a issue here. Contact id will call and say there is an issue on the 4th floor room 410 closet. Basically with contact id you get spacifics of the issue. Note set the alarm speed to as low as possible. And in some cases the alarm comapnys are ass's and wont change it to 4-2 because they have to re id everything. Oh yea and when testing make sure you call the alarm company and put it in test mode the fire dept dosnt exactly like it when the get false calls.

Hi, I have a potential client who has legacy alarm systems which use modems to transmit encoded data to a remote location through the PSTN. They wish to replace the 'PSTN' bit with an IP link. I am aware that it would be best if the data was transmitted directly over IP rather than modulated and then sent on the internet, but that is not possible because of the legacy equipment. I was wondering if there was some specialized ATAs of some kind that would do TDMoIP and which could be used for this purpose? Link latency is about 300ms with no more than 10ms jitter.

[Asterisk-Users] Modem Connection from TDM card to TE4xxP card
I just needed to test a dialup modem connection (don't ask) and I had a modem connected to a TDM card (FXS port) which then dialled out via a E1 PRI on a TE4xxp card. See my log below: atdt0198xx CONNECT 36000 V42bis ** Dial IP ** Username: Password: Entering PPP Session. IP address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx MTU is 1500. OK ATH0 OK ATDT0198xx CONNECT 31200 V42bis ** Dial IP ** Username: Password: Entering PPP Session. IP address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx MTU is 1500. OK ATh0 OK So it looks like there are at least some cases where the TDM cards do work very well even for modem connections.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Modem as PSTN interface?
I believe that is basically what the generic t100p is. Also, several other voicemodems are already supported by asterisk. To my knowledge they are all FXO ports. I don't believe there are any modems that can provide FXS ports. If someone knows of one, I would be interested in knowing about it. Jon.

To my knowledge they are all FXO ports. I don't believe there are any modems that can provide FXS ports. If someone knows of one, I would be interested in knowing about it. Nope, a t100P is a T1 span. Nothing generic there. The voicemodems that are supported are winmodems that happen to behave similarly enough to the X100P card that they can be dealt with the same way. Since winmodems move all the DSP work into the main CPU, it means they are mostly simple PSTN digitizer. Instead of hooking DSP code to the digitized audio path, asterisk just uses the audio. Trouble is, most winmodem companies keep the implementation details very quite. If you can't get that data you can't get it to work. Next trouble is that no one here gets any benefit from your cheapest way to play route. In fact your cheapest way to play is a detriment to our community as you are likely to have a very bad experience and either bad mouth the software because of your experience, or you may never get past the basic user position and are just an occasional support drain. All this without having contributed back to the community. There is a chance you might move beyond that point, but it isn't likely. So try and make a convincing case for anyone to beat their head against the wall to support a low port density device that is unlikely to be used by a large portion of the community and is not going to benefit either the writer or the main supporters of asterisk. -- Steven Critchfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[Asterisk-Users] Modem support via Cisco FXS ports?
I need to do some modem testing at work, just to make sure that I can dial into an emergency serial console modem before I put it into a box and ship it. Unfortunately, we don't have easy access to a pair of POTS lines in the office right now. Looking around the test lab, we have a Cisco 3640 with a 2FXS VIC in it. I can plug my laptop's modem into one FXS port, and plug the serial console modem into the other, and then set up Asterisk to relay calls between the two ports using SIP. Before I spend a few hours setting up a test asterisk server in the office and monkeying with SIP images on the 3640, I'd like to know if anyone has actually tried something like this. Clearly it's not the ideal way to connect a pair of modems back-to-back, but it should work, right? I don't really even care about the connection speed, as long as it's not *totally* buggy.

Even then, timing issues and data slips can cause much trouble. Successful FoIP usually converts the modem audio to data, and sends that over the IP channel. The T.38 spec supports this.

Scott, I haven't done *any* research into this but.. I'm using a Sipura2000 and I have my laptop modem attached to it. I'm forcing alaw or ulaw encoding on the line.

You say you have a modem connection, and then you say you want to use text to speech? Your problem will be related to the fact that a modem call over a VoIP is not necessarily stable. If you only need 1200, I'm sure you might be able to discuss with Steve Underwood about changing the tx/rx fax app to be a modem only app. At that point you could dial in to a local port with a software modem, convert to your text string, and send it to the other side. On the other side you can then push that though another software modem to the line out. Just remember that G711 uses around 80K bandwidth to send 1200. -- Steven Critchfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[Asterisk-Users] modem data calls through FXS / FXO digium cards failing
Hi guys, I think I posted on this issue before, but didn't get a response. I've still not been able to resolve the issue. I've got a small installation of Asterisk running one 4 port FXS Digium card and 1 FXO Digium card. I'm having difficulty routing modem call through one of the extensions out through the FXO card. By difficulty, I mean it won't work. The calls won't even sync up. If I disconnect the phone line from the FXO card and run the modem directly through that (completely bypassing Asterisk), the calls go through fine as usual. Is there some sort of line quality I can specify for certain extensions to allow data calls to better pass through? Any options I can specify on the Dial application that boost the quality or drop echo cancelling or are these strategies even going to do me any good? Does anyone have a similar hardware configuration working? Thanks. jl ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I have no problems with supporting Digium by purchasing their hardware, but what makes this modem more equal than others? Because modem drivers do not allow full duplex sound. This is a limitation of the interface chosen by the implementers of the specification. I'd about lay money they did this to not cannibalize their higher profit telephony card market. In the case of Digium's card, they wrote a driver that no longer contains any protected(patented) code for modems, and just exposed the audio in both direction and the telephony sensing. This allows them to bypass large chunks of code that would sit dormant and just be in the way of the asterisk system. So the extra you pay is in part helping Digium repay their development costs up to this point, both in the driver and in the application. The other part you are paying for is 1 hour of support from Digium, and a bit of a free pass from being flamed on this list for scabbing parts. So please support Digium and their fine network of resellers by buying parts from the authorized channels. The alternative may be cheaper on the wallet, but not on your soul. -- Steven Critchfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

And the only access to PSTN at this remote site is trough asterisk2. unless you are using standalone fax units for the scanning, then you should be able to. The scenario I laid out above was for specifically this case. Drop a cheap flatbed scanner in to capture the image, then send it to hylafax at asterisk2 location to hop a local modem to a FXS port and off to the net. You can then receive incoming faxes via email or similar and then choose what to print. performance out of the faxing and potentially lower bills. Also it is more flexible.

If it is on a specific non shared port, then you can set it up in a context that uses a different username and password to connect, and in that definition disallow all and allow ulaw. Just know that this method is spotty, and may not work because of problems in the fax protocol and timing needs. search archive for very good explanations of this problem. -- Steven Critchfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [Asterisk-Users] Modem and Fax over VoIP
Fax with G711 works fine.

On my 12 hop link with the office over a cable modem, it is iffy to get a modem connection up. The connection occasionally claimed 14400, but never was over 1200 in actual output. So again, this is chancy at best and in the end will result in longer calls between fax machines. A cheap modem, and a $10 scanner will solve the problem and keep you faxes going out fast.

[Asterisk-Users] Modem channel in Asterisk
Hi,
I have installed an USB modem and test it using the strings from the
included Aopen modem (Rockwell based), modified the modem.conf file and then
Asterisk load them without errors.
What is the syntax to be used with a modem as a FXO device when dialing?
I have tried:
exten = .[246]XX,Dial(Modem/${EXTEN},20) but it doesn't work.
What else must be done?
Thanks,
Dan

[Asterisk-Users] Modem driver question
I'm trying to start-up Asterisk with a local modem (on /dev/ttyS1) and I can't find a modem driver that loads. The attached modem is a USRobotics Sportster Voice 33600 Fax RS Rev. 2.0 (as reported by Asterisk). Anyone know which driver I should load?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Modem = Serial ?
Actually Dan, you are mistaken here, many serial fax/data/voice modems come with answering machine programs which tell the modem to send the voice data through the serial line. Also the vgetty program in linux does the same. The problem is using the AT command set, not whether or not serial communications can carry voice. Remember that T1 is just a really fast serial line. The AT command set is a remnant of low power computing. You issue a command to get started with voice mode. Then you set it in record mode, and look to see if there is incoming audio. Then you issue a command to send audio when you have some in your queue. This is WRONG. Please lookup the (AT) VTR command - simultaneous voice transmit and receive that gives full duplex for modems that support it (including iNTRA2/4/8 in Australia, according to the manufaturer) I spent a long time researching this (just try googling for VTR and see how many Video Tape Recorders you will find...) some months ago when I first started talking about using full duplex voice modems. All this time I thought you kept ignoring me because of financial reasons (ie maybe you would be getting the zaptel approved for australia) not because you thought I didn`t know what I was talking about ;-) Check these links: http://www.vee90.net/atcom/BCM/v92/BCMV92_Modem7.html http://pcdesguide.org/pc99/chapt19.htm which references the the ITU-T V.253 standard - V.253 includes small corrections to TIA-695 and adds provisions for bi-directional, digitized voice over the serial port. (personally afaik full duplex voice over serial sucks however - not a problem with PCI cards tho) http://www.vocpsystem.com/vgetty_modems.php?mode=function - the best site (which I just spent the last half-hour finding again...)

[Asterisk-Users] Modem = Serial ?
Now with the usual discussion which arises with compatible internal modems for FULL DUPLEX voice etc... It really makes me think (again) about serial communications Most external modems will now talk at 115k2 so maybe some will explain when/what/how/etc of why a serial interface could NOT be developed ??

Hi, Serial voice modems use separate jacks for audio in and audio out. The audio stream cannot be passed through the serial line.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Modem = Serial ?
With a software modem, you cannot bypass AT commands and directly acces the hardware for voice applications, as you have the source code for the modem driver himself?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Modem = Serial ?
The problem with the few softmodem drivers I've dealt with is that parts of the driver are _NOT_ in source form. The parts that are in source form are basically a serial interface to the dsp library that does direct hardware access as it would have kernel level privs from having been called from inside the kernel. I'm interested in documenting a dsp library that is available for a software modem and seeing if it could be a resource for asterisk to create a modem interface. But this is a project probably for the fall/winter.
