I have Asterisk compiled and setup to use a TE110P trunked to a Mitel 3300 PBX for testing. I overcame the module problems I was having and am to the point where I can see the trunk go offhook in zttool when I call it. I am following the examples in the O'Reilly book (yes, I'm using printed media, gives me something to read in the bathroom) to answer, play the "hello world" clip, and hang up. Sofar I've been unsuccessful in anything other then seeing the trunk go live in zttool. I stripped the configs down to pretty much nothing and can't even get dial-tone. I know I'm talking to the trunk ok as when I dial and the trunk answers, and I run ztcfg while the call is active, I get a slight pop on the line. Now a show channels shows me nothing. I don't know if it's supposed to with no active calls or not: *CLI> show channels Channel Location State Application(Data) 0 active channels 0 active calls A zap show channels shows me the channels though: Chan Extension Context Language MusicOnHold pseudo incoming 1 incoming 2 incoming Here's my configs.

If you find anything out, I would like to know.

> Not GSM/DECT but GSM/Wifi phones are available - This is not a > recommendation, I don't like what I've seen.It strikes me as really strange that GSM/Wifi would be available while GSM/DECT is not so much. DECT is a voice technology, while wifi isn't. Still... there's a lot about the world I don't understand :) James
"Peter Bowyer" <peeebeee@gmail.com> wrote:> How many companies have deployed DECT in their buildings?Thousands, perhaps tens of thousands. DECT technology is very big in Europe. It's not so widespread in North America, primarily because the FCC allocated radio frequencies are different from those allocated for use in international markets, so the European hardware can't (legally) be used in USA/Canada.
