I bought a MV-372 for 2 SIM cards as the one channel model seems to work
well (see
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Setup+MV-370+GSM+Gateway+with+Asterisk).
The setup is such:
--------- Inet --> VoIP provider ---> POTS
|
|
(iax2, NAT)
|
asterisk
(on abox with iptables fw)
|
(SIP, LAN)
|----------> SNOM190 phones
|
----------> SIP-GSM-module ---> SIM cards --> mobile phone networks
Sound, however, is too bad for the SIP to GSM module to be usable. Call
initiation from the LAN to the GSM network works but the audio stream
stops and continues for about 1 to 3 seconds each, irregularly
alternating between various durations of both states. Latency is around
300ms for the module which registers as a SIP extension. The machine is
a PII with a 400MHz Celeron. Transmission is via the alaw codec, as
recommended. The "RTP Packet Length" setting for the GSM module is
20ms.
Do any of you have suspicions why the module does not work as expected?
(The vendor has not yet answered yet but it's weekend in Taiwan as
well). Perhaps the GSM-module firmware is not up to par, and/or the SNOM
doesn't cooperate well in the bridged connection.
