Re: [Asterisk-Users] What is an E400P-SS7??

2005-02-25 Thread Roger Schreiter
Hi,
it is the same hardware, but with a firmware by Brian F. G. Bidulock.
It has nothing to do with the libisup project, Steve Underwood wrote
several times within this mailing list and soon will be made public
as SS7 support for asterisk with that Digium card.
Roger.

Hi,
yes, in the beginning, when we looked for a SS7 solution
for asterisk, I tried to awake the asterisk-SS7 project,
which was sleeping at that time and maintained rather by
the OpenSS7.org people than by people around the asterisk
developers.
When I learned about that other project, Steve Underwood
was talking here, I gave up looking after the asterisk-SS7
project by OpenSS7, and begun supporting that libisup project
for asterisk.
You mentioned my very old status reports. I think, I already
wrote about that change in the early autumn, but then got
silent, because Steve gave some statements, and he is more
involved in that project than me.
Could I clarify hereby the advances of my SS7 interest and the
status reports you mentioned?
Roger.

I guess I asked the wrong question. I'm in the situation where being
able to do SS7 with Asterisk would be *very* useful and have someone
who may be in interested in spending money on equipment and/or
programming time to realize it. But information about SS7 on Asterisk
is very thin on the ground.

At least it seems that the hardware doesn't require changing, this is
good...

Thanks in advance,

RE: [Asterisk-Users] What is an E400P-SS7??

2005-02-25 Thread Benjamin J. Bawkon
Hello Everyone,

Just for the record, the E400P-SS7 Is IDENTICAL to Digium's E400P, and
the T400P-SS7 is IDENTICAL to Digium's T400P (NOT Their new
TE410/TE405P).  There is no additional 'software' on the card, since all
firmware is uploaded to the Xilinx during driver modprobe.

An E400P-SS7 can be readily interchanged with a E400P and vise versa.

Best Regards,
Ben

 Hi,
 
 Is this card the same as the T410P, after all, it's made by Digium.
 There's one prior reference on the mailint list[1] but it didn't
answer
 the question.

Yes it did answer the question. If you can't spend a small amount of
effort to digest the history that becomes your problem. 

If you had used the mailing list navigation to go to the previous
message you would have also been presented with a more complete quote
that mentioned the E400P-SS7. You would note that the part number came
from the openss7.com website.  If you read the news link in that message
you would have seen that these are available for a different price than
the Digium T400P or E400P cards. You also have to purchase them from
openss7.com.

It is not reasonable for a Digium reseller to change the price to a
higher than list price amount unless they are adding something else to
the pot. In this case, the card is highly likely to be the T400P or
E400P card but include non GPL code to run the SS7 stack.

And just for being highly explicit in the answer to you. No the
E400P-SS7 card is not the same as the TE410P or TE405P card. Also just
having the card is not enough to get SS7 support yet.

 There was also an SS7 status report[2] last June but it's doesn't seem
to
 have lead anywhere either. There was post saying an SS7 release was
 immenent last September[3], but then silence.
 
 Any info anyone would like to share?

Can't help here. While I don't need this yet, I am interested in seeing
it's support.
