Caller*ID used to work as some point, but I can't seem to get it going
these days. The card is a x101p. I've tried going up and down the
rxgain scale. Can the txgain effect it at all? When I plug in a phone
into the line with a splitter it can decode caller id with no problems.
Reading through the mailing list archives hasn't given me any
move clues. Any ideas?

Jeff,
I see the same thing on my FXO card, but it is an Intel modem, not a
true Digium X100P. I suspected it was my card, but if you are seeing it
on a true card, maybe there is hope for mine yet. I haven't had time to
troubleshoot yet as I have been having too much fun playing with other
features.
Let us know if you find the solution, and I will do the same if I get
mine working. I am hoping to be able to do some work on it this weekend
to try and see what is going on. In my case I have several other phones
plugged into the line as I don't have any FXS ports yet, so eliminating
them was going to be one of my first steps. The jack that my * server
is attached to is CAT5 run directly from the telco access box.
Aside from being a software decoding error or a telco sending error, my
first suspects are line noise on the cabling from other devices or
devices near the phone cabling. Electrical noise introduced into the
signal inside the asterisk system is another failure point I want to try
to eliminate.
As a last resort, I was thinking of throwing that modem into my Windows
PC and loading the drivers and software for it and see if CallerID works
in that mode. I don't know if Windows would be able to load modem
drivers for the Digium card or not, but that is another idea for you to
try. These cards are basically glorified sound cards that attach to a
telephone line, so if the Windows software can correctly read the
signal, that would maybe point it in the software or driver area. If
that turns out to be the case, I may be forced to go ahead and get an
actual Digium card sooner than I anticipated in order to prove the
theory.
Regards,
Jeremy

Some input for those with bigger brains like, perhaps, Jeremy Hall, to ponder in relation to the Caller*ID failed checksum message. 1. I have a Digium X101P (and TDM420P) 2. I installed in January and had no problems with Caller ID 3. I played with Asterisk including a few CSV updates in February (stable 1.0, I think). 4. Then I had problems with Asterisk never reporting Caller ID to phones on the TMD420P and returning the "failed checksum" message sometimes. 5. I updated to Apri 4 CSV of zaptel and asterisk and now Caller ID works. 6. I have ADSL, which introduces noise on the line and I have an emergency phone which bypasses Asterisk (in case of power failure). That phone reports Caller ID without problems. 7. Now the X101P fails to detect hangups reliably, though I think it is more reliable than it was in March when I was using the stable code. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Asterisk-Users] dreaded Caller*ID failed checksum
Did you install the micro filters that came with with your ADSL modem. Usually you get 3-4 of these. They are used to protect your analog lines from the additional signal noise from the ADSL signal. -sb Radio Shack item number 279-103 for about $15 each -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com]On Behalf Of Oliver Wilcock Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2004 10:30 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] dreaded Caller*ID failed checksum Some input for those with bigger brains like, perhaps, Jeremy Hall, to ponder in relation to the Caller*ID failed checksum message. 1.

Yes, I installed the filters that came with the modem. I'm sure you've noticed that they don't block all the noise.> Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] dreaded Caller*ID failed checksum > Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2004 10:55:43 -0400 > From: "Bisker, Scott (7805)" <sbisker@harvardgrp.com> > > Did you install the micro filters that came with with your ADSL modem. > Usually you get 3-4 of these.

I had DSL at my old house, and am stuck using Cable at the moment as DSL is not available. But when at my old house, I had no noise problems with the DSL filter (yes, filter, I installed it at the line entry point and ran a separate unfiltered cable directly to the DSL modem.) Either Qwest lines are inherently noisy to the point that I couldn't hear a difference, or my filter worked as it should. I had no extra noise on the line, caller ID worked fine. I didn't have an Asterisk server then, so I can't comment on that part of it. If you are still hearing noise from the DSL, I suspect you have a bad filter or batch of filters. I have heard some instances where the signal is strong enough that 2 or 3 filters in line were required to filter the noise, and that could be your case as well. Just my $.02 worth.

I just moved the cards back to my old test box (dual cpu athlon). Guest what? CallerID worked *every time*. I noticed on my main box there seems to be a lot of RF noise getting into the cards. Maybe this is screwing up the DSP code. These are the same cards, same lines, different computers: CallerID doesn't work on: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 10 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ stepping : 0 cpu MHz : 1918.335 cache size : 512 KB CallerID *DOES* work on: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) MP 2400+ stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 2000.103 cache size : 256 KB> > Also, is yours the true Digium card or is yours aOne real, 3 clones.
