[Asterisk-Users] Audiocodes gateway and asterisk
Is anyone on the list using an Audiocodes gateway with asterisk and SIP? I'm looking at that platform, but I have a couple of issues: 1) Echo cancellation. The echo that I'm hearing with an X100P is unacceptable. Does the Audiocodes do better? 2) Line signalling. I'm using Kewlstart with the X100P, but it looks like the audiocodes uses loopstart only. How does this work with voicemail, etc? My experience with loopstart on the X100P is that voicemail never stops and I end up with two-hour long messages. Any comments or suggestions? Thanks, --Ernest
Ernest, There is a beta load that you can get from the Audiocodes dealer which is working for us. We are using their 4-port MP-104 SIP gateway and the only problems we have with it are: 1. Outgoing calls go out to the lines in a round-robin fashion. You can put any number of the lines in a hunt group but if the group has more than one channel, you can only distribute the outgoing calls in round-robin fashion. 2. I'm having problems with out-of-band DTMF but I'm having the same problems with the Cisco 7960's also. Probably an Asterisk problem. Maybe someone else will help me with this. ;) 3. Call transfer and hold work with the beta load on the Audiocodes. Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2003 12:23:43 -0700 To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com From: "Ernest W.
