Hi, With a digium dual PRI card (dual span). Is there any reason I can't have both PRIs being PRIMARY timing sources? They are both from different CLECs, and as such I need them both to do their own timing.

Greetings folks, I'm currently dealing with a company to let me set Caller-ID-Name on outbound calls. So far pretty happy with their services. The basic service works like this: * CLEC sets Point Code to point to this company * CLEC has to sign LOA saying they give me permission to set the Caller-ID-Name through this company. * I go into web interface and set name. However, the CLEC is

Using a SIP connection with a CLEC, the downstream (received) audio is perfect when the mute button is activated on the phone. However, when there is upstream audio (i.e., talking or even breathing into the microphone), the downstream audio is cut off. It's kinda like having a half-duplex audio connection. When I divert outgoing calls to another provider, these calls are fine.

I have the following configuration: CLEC -> T-1 -> Asterisk -> Adtran Channel Bank -> (analog) -> Nortel Don't complain that it's ugly. I've already done plenty of that. The CLEC manages their Adtran remotely and needs to be able to continue to do so. I assume they use FDL to do the management. We are using the Zaptel DACS/DACSRBS to cross connect some of the

I'm in the process of turning up a PRI in one of my markets and have run into a problem I have never seen before. I am unable to place a local outgoing call. Long Distance over the same PRI works fine. When I attempt to place a local call using the PRI I see Asterisk attempt to dial, and am greeted with a busy signal. This signal appears to originate on the telco's switch. I have had

FYI Brian Fertig Treasury disconnects tax on long-distance calls WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The brief Spanish-American War ended more than a century ago, but not the federal tax assessed to fund the victory. Until now. On Thursday, the U.S. Treasury said it would stop collecting the 3% federal excise tax on long-distance calls, a fee originally assessed in 1898. The government also said it

OK.. I'm up to my eyes in LD BS! I can't for the life of me understand how any carrier, either VoIP or traditional service provider can make heads or tails of how to hand off an * based call to an LD provider. Every provider I talk to, says I have to have a traditional T1 put in to their respective networks. I don't want to do this. I want a LD provider that can take a IP, SIP, IAX

Pardon my ignorance, but I was hoping someone could clear up something for me. - For a few POTS lines, digium has a single port card for that, or a T1 card to a channel bank. - For 10 or more lines, digium has a T1 or E1 card for that too based on PRI channels - For 100's to 1000's of lines, I suspect a soft-switch is in order??? A traditional phone company will sell: - POTS lines for

Hi all, I am trying to setup a ZAP interface to do MF signaling for a handoff to a 911 tandem. The signaling I need to perform on the T1 is this: 9-1-1 Tandem: Wink CLEC end office: KP (Keypulse) NPA ST (Start) 9-1-1 Tandem: Wink CLEC end office: KP I (Info Digit) NXX XXXX ST As I'm not as familiar with the Zaptel configurabliity, I'm not really sure how to do this. Do I dial twice

My client would like to add new functionality, such as call queuing, to their PBX. They presently have a Telrad PBX; it has a T1/PRI circuit from the CLEC and a few POTS lines. They use DID for some incoming calls and an attendant for calls on the main number. The client's commitment to customer service will not allow us to outright replace their PBX with a new system--we could never

...rver.... Even though it was natural to talk about "pricing", this is still not what we are interested in knowing. What we are interested in finding out is: * How are service providers that offer "virtual pris" interconnected with their suppliers? I would imagine that some (non-CLECS), are renting a connection from the LECs, and grouping PRI/ISDN trunks (option 2). And others (CLECS), have a A-Link/ISUP trunk interconnect to the CO. - Which brings up a second question. How does a PRI trunk group differ from an ISUP trunk. I don't know much about and ISUP trunks and wo...

Hi, Inspired by a recent rant about one particular provider, I am getting very curious about something I've never mastered. I'd like someone to explain this here or at least post a link or two that can educate me and probably countless others who have no knowledge in this area. I'm sure there are several of you reading this that know all about the subject. What are the various

http://www.boingboing.net/2006/06/05/play_zork_by_phone.html Let me preface this idea with one comment: I don't have the time to do this - I don't even have time to eat these days. But someone out there has the cycles to do this... and it would be very cool. OK, so now Zork is attached to Asterisk, but using the less-than-clear Festival engine. There are beta tests of the LumenVox

Thanks Brian, and thanks again for the included definitions <grin> - that helped too. Your comments are really helping clear many questions. I suppose our intensions are to become an IXC. So if my local carrier is sporting old technology, they'll provide TDM services. So if I understood you correctly, the "in-band signaling" is typically SS7, and the alternative is typically

I want to test asterisk with its DID functions on a smaller scale without the expense of a PRI. I am in the US, and want the most reliable/stable, and feature rich solution that I can have. What ISDN card would be reccommended? My clec switch operator says he can/will send DID info to my BRI's if I wish. Can Asterisk, or one of its addons support this? What BRI solution would be

Hi all, I'm trying to get a handoff between me and a carrier going using Asterisk. I need to handoff using CAMA signaling. On a Cisco, you can see the configuration types that I'm referring to on this site as an example: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps221/prod_configuration_guide09186a008019b16e.html#35393 The example of the interaction is the following: CLEC end

My CLEC just called and asked if we will support the "MI2" protocol on our proposed T1 circuit. I think this is for CallerID name. Will the T100P support this? Thanks, Mike

I've watched the dialogue about how asterisk has to manipulate the packets from an IAX2 connection to a SIP client. That said, I'm wondering if a previous problem I've been trying to diagnose could be related to that process. In short, here's how I describe it: Outbound: SIP 7960 > Asterisk > IAX2 Audio is perfect both directions. Inbound: IAX2 > Asterisk > SIP

Hi, Is my CLEC feeding me a line, or is this really how it has to be? When I dial a number on their system, if it's busy I get a busy back right away. If I dial a number on say Verizon's system, the CLEC sends me a "call preceding event", and then I get a BUSY back from Verizon. Should the CLEC be able to only send me ahead if Verizon says "go head" and give me a

Central business location has a PRI with a CLEC. Remote offices access the PRI for all voice traffic via VoIP. How does one get the telco to report the address of a remote office to the 911 call center when the call is made from that respective location?
