Hello Everyone, We are looking to interconnect with a local ILEC over an OC-n transport layer. They basically gave us two options in terms of mapping the SONET to the DS3: * VT1.5s mapping * DS1s mapping The second option is quite clear. We would MUX the connection, and plug the lines into qaud t1 cads etc... The tech mentioned that with the second option we w...

Sorry for the off-topic, but perhaps this will be of interest to other asterisk based ITSPs. We are starting service in a rural area where the ILEC has the rural "monopoly". From what we have read in the FCC docs this does NOT exempt them from number portability, but what does it take for us to qualify to receive their numbers? To date we simply have a few voice trunks to them, and a set of DID numbers we purchase from them. D...

...say, the SIP port. You could play wack-a-mole with port numbers, no? Also a community based, Freenet style of encryption implementation for "free" VoIP traffic would address this issue. I raise this to the list because I'm sure there's a grain of truth in what he's saying. ILEC's would be crazy to not consider this kind of lock in, since it's pretty obvious that packet voice networks are going to supplant circuit networks completely in, say, 20 years. Maybe sooner.

I'm presently working on an office move and evaluation of telecommunications services needed at the new location. I'm presently wrastling with an issue related to portability and geography between landline carriers. Presently certain people within the organization are hopelessly in love with our 909-822-xxxx number(provided by pacbell/att). As that number is presently provisioned it

...all back and come into the conference again; this time we tried a "#" tone at the moment he left, but that didn't do any good either. I waited perhaps a half-hour to see if *any* kind of timer would release the line, but no dice. Anyone know of a way of doing this when the scumbag ILEC won't give you supervision? Thx. B.

I was looking at the ILECs' web sites to determine how their users access voicemail. I looked at AT&T, Verizon, Qwest, and Embarq. They supported one or a combination of the following for calling from your phone: *98 #55 Toll free number Your number A varying phone number, based on your number's loc...

...care to thank everyone for your information on BRI interfaces that operate in USA/NA. I know the responses are were limited, but the selection of hardware is also limited. (Shame because BRI would fit my needs perfectly). To continue, it's now been over 4 weeks since I last talked to the ILEC sales rep about pricing and plans. Unfortunately there has been no response. Which does not surprise me. I had an issue with DSL with the ILEC basically looking to migrate to bigger pipe and was "shined on" then. So i've decided to take the plunge into VoIP. Got asterisk up a...

Hello Everyone, I am looking to getting converged with the local ILEC here in Canada (Bell or Telus), and was wondering if I can get some more information about typical setups. DIDs and channel offerings from third party clecs does not fit our business model and that's why we are looking to purchasing phone numbers directly from the ILEC, and manging our own PRIs...

...e), and/or Orlando (prefer Winter Garden). If I can migrate some of my existing numbers using LNP, that would be even better, but it is not a requirement. While I know that there are several companies that will terminate VoIP number using these protocols, none offers a functional equivalent of ILEC DID service. From my ILEC, I can purchase one or more DID trunks and a block of phone numbers (usually for between $0.01 and $0.10 a number). I can receive as many calls simultaneously as I have trunks, after that callers receive a busy signal. All VoIP trunk providers that I have found, want t...

Hi, We've got a dedicated T1 with two trunks running into our ILECs selective router for 911. Split out of the T1 into two MF CAMA trunks on ILEC side. I'm trying to use asterisks e911 signaling, but I'm having trouble with the dial command. (== Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:1/0/0)) I'm missing something and I'm thinking it ha...

...For a small office such as mine it would be a great product. So her goes my question.... What is a known asterisk working BRI card that will operate in the USA. I need to weigh price/quality. I need to do DID/DDI (or what ever you want to call it). Asterisk will do everything else I need. The ILEC has at the other end a DMS-100. I have been having all kinds of problems using POTS lines that I will consider it an investment to move to a more digital connection. I am considering going the VoIP route (Vonage, Broadvoice, etc...) but before I commit either way I'm exploring all my options...

...The only difference noticed between a forwarded call versus a "normal" outbound call is that an extended attribute of "Forwarded Unconditionally". The (slightly edited -- I've edited the phone numbers to protect the innocent) trace is below. Is this an asterisk issue, or an ILEC issue? I have a ticket open with the ILEC as well, but they tend to be less than helpful (their response has been to turn on their call forwarding option). Any thoughts appreciated! > [ 02 01 01 1e ] -- Got SIP response 302 "Moved Temporarily" back from 192.168.1.55 mail*CLI>...

Does anyone know what would be involved in making Asterisk work as a voicemail system in a Centrex environment? We have a Centrigram voicemail system that belongs in the Smithsonian. There are analog lines coming into the box and a 56KB data feed from the phone company's switch. Peter

...oesn't have a clue what I am talking about. Does anyone have any good companies with competent sales/engineer people who would help put together a solution. Also, for anyone that has hooked up a echo can before. Do you have to buy such a large shelf? Obviously things things are intended for ILEC installs, however, I can't find anything geared towards the PBX realm. It seems everything on Ebay is a 32 module shelf rack. Thats a bit over kill for us. Further, I would imagine this setup. Please correct me if I am off base. I would have a straight T1 cable from the Channel Bank to the...

I called bandwidth.com to buy a sip line from them for $30 a month. But they said they will not sell me a sip line since the address on the account is Citrus Heights CA and they can not provide services in that area. On asking further the person clarified that there is no e911 service available in the 916 area code for bandwidth.com But other providers like www.broadvoice.com are able to provide

Has anyone had any experience using asterisk for a 911 call center? Does anyone know of any reason why it would not be suitable? As far as I know all 911 call routing takes place at the CO switch so a regular T1 line should work fine. I understand that there is support for ACD in asterisk and that is should be possible to implement screen pop (CTI). Any comments? Gene Kochanowsky Solution

Does anyone know of a device that will take an SS7 link and convert it to a PRI? -- respectfully, Joseph - (606) 477-2355 x140 ------=============

...est we could get was 90% success at sending faxes. It seemes to screw up the longer the transmission, ie page 1 was usually ok, but page 2 and 3 and 4 was at serious risk. So if I bought a Vonage adapter, can I send a 30 page fax? My best guess is they have high quality voice T1's, like from an ILEC, usually more expensive, and when they sell a "Fax Line" I noticed it's more expensive. Maybe they route all their fax calls specifically out these high quality T1's that they own, so that they can do some type of quality control. My test lab was a private network, a Cisco 3640 c...

...a 'Services' button that I'd like to program, maybe even with material that gives agents real time information (such as any real-time network information I want flashed to agents), - As an alternative to above, we are considering the Nortel MICS approach (like a low cost 6x16). Our ILEC supplies us currently with a CO-based PBX service and we've come to love the Meridian sets. As an alternative to the IP phones, I've seen refurb'd MICS systems for sale. I read in the group that the phones themselves are a proprietary Nortel signalling but I can front-end the PBX with...

I'm brand new to asterisk but not to T1s so here's my bit to contribute. Each local telco {be they ILEC or CLEC} is different depending on their CO switch and the software options they've purchased for it. In Alaska, the "break-even" for switching from POTS to T1 is about 13 trunks. Your telco will offer "regular T1" and/or ISDN-PRI. Up here the tariffed rate on ISDN-PRI...
