Hello: I've been wrestling with an integration issue for which there also seems to be one piece missing. I'm hoping someone on this list can help. Due to a complete lack of cooperation from our current voice provider we are in need of an alternative way to access our Octel 350 voicemail system from our SIP (SER) proxy. I can redirect and relay calls to numerous destinations via SER but because the Octel needs an SMDI interface for mailbox identification I am stuck, none of the solutions thus far support SMDI-SIP munging. I just started thinking about the possib...

Thank you all for the voicemail cards you sent. If you have the following in PDF or laying around (scan): * AT&T/Cingular flow voicemail card * Verizon flow voicemail card * Sprint flow voicemail card * TMobile flow voicemail card * Alltel flow voicemail card * Avaya Nortel Octel flow voicemail card * Comedian Mail (Asterisk) -- I have the flow, need a card if someone has one I will work on getting these integrated with EVM. Users will be able to select via user prefs and admin on a per user setting of their preferred VM flow. Final prompts are coming this week; need the...

If anyone could help me with this, I'd appreciate it! I've got an Asterisk deployment where I'd like to use an existing external Octel voicemail system. I've been trying to define an extension that if the call isn't answered in a few rings, to dial our external voicemail number. That voicemail system works by seeing the CALLED number and routing the call to the user's answering message. The problem is that Aster...

Hey All, I'll be configuring an asterisk box to be the voicemail server to an old Merlin system which had an octel 100 voicemail server that is now dying. My question is simple: do I need to stick an FXO card in the asterisk box? My logic is that if the Merlin Magix system is actually generating electrical current, then I would need to have an fxo card. Is this correct? -------------- next part ---------...

...rs Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] asterisk server as a voicemail server forlegacyPBX -- FXO or FXS??? FXS cards generate ring (you connect a "station" to it and it rings). FXO cards sink ring (they take ring from the office). If the Octel needs ring (which it most likely does), you would need an FXS card to generate ring for it to answer. An FXO would take ring from the vmail server, which, in context, doesn't make a lot of sense (vmail doesn't call the PBX, the PBX calls vmail). EKG _____________________________...

...etc) to edirectory at some point so that changes made in edirectory are sent to the appropriate asterisk system. Voicemail networking (the ability to forward voicemails to a user or group of users on remote asterisk systems and possibly an AMIS feature that will allow networking with existing avaya/octel voicemail systems until I can replace them with asterisk). Providing high reliability. I have been looking to have two asterisk servers (primary and secondary) share a PRI but Im still not real clear on how to achieve full redundancy of the server yet. ... and finally, at some point (when I c...

...his continuity was still a little long, but workable. The new sound files make these positively sound like a computer playing individual files rather than a continuous sentence. If I release these sound files as they are to my users, they are going to revolt. They already complain about the old Octel VM system prompts being played back too slowly and these are much slower than that. I mentioned this a while back when the new sounds were in beta, but haven't seen anything more about it. So either this says something about my and my users' level of patience, I'm missing something th...

...GSM and WAV files when using Asterisk, but I'm not happy with the sound quality with the GSM compression. It's merely *acceptable* for a telephone call, but for anything else, it leaves something to be desired. Case in point -- if you compare the sound quality of the prompts with, say, an Octel voicemail system, there's no contest -- and this is through a standard telephone. 1. Can I *record* audio from a TDM-400 channel at a sample rate above 8000 kHz? Can I record at 16 bits? (This is most important.) 2. Can I use a prompt with a sample rate above 8000 kHz? Will the TDM-400 card s...

FYI - We have a solution here provided by Lucent that allows us to play / review voicemails left on the Octel attached to the 5ESS switch... While this is a simple webpage - doing a refresh every 3 to 4 seconds, it does actually work. The only loss of course would be if someone hung up on first ring - the browser might not catch it in time. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.dig...

Thats fine, but.... What if the

Hi, I have succeed using Asterisk on VMWare on an Athlon@1GB with 128 MB allocated for the Linux virtual machine. I have connected this PBX with another one using IAX/GSM. I can call the other part and the sound is great, without any interruption. The phone used is a Cisco7960 with G.711, so still a codec conversion is in place (GSM/G.711) and Asterisk/VMWare Wkst performs very well. The problem

Asterisk Users: I've been working hard on app_voicemail2 which is an enhanced scalability version of app_voicemail. Specifically, its features are: * Highly improved internal architecture (maybe someone else can actually code on it) * Foot print for getting mailboxes from DB (for Vonage) * Segmentable mailboxes, allowing you to truly multihost voicemail for multiple companies
