CPU power required - Asterisk
Hi-
I'm almost embarrassed to ask the following simple question, following John's
excellent and rigorous bandwidth analysis (see earlier thread):
I have a straightforward Asterisk application, IVR-only (no connections
between channels). It will simply decode DTMF's and speak prompts (probably
A-Law encoded) on a number of E1 circuits simultaneously.
Realistically, how many

Dell PowerEdge 750 rackmount
Hi-
I have an upcoming order for a bunch of asterisk boxes, and I'm considering
using an "assembled" package for the server, instead of building them from
components as I usually do.
Does anyone have experience with the Dell PowerEdge 750 server, or any other
1U rackmount server for use with asterisk?
Thanks in advance

"Glare" condition - How well does asterisk handle?
Hi-
I have an upcoming application that requires use of PRI channels that are
primarily used for high-volume incoming traffic, but that are to be used for
outbound calling as well. Of course, one option is to have dedicated
outbound channels reserved, but this is an inefficient use of channel
resources.
Normally PBX's are designed to have the CPE yield to an incoming call if a

Fix for Redhat 9 zombie AGI processes
Hi all-
Thanks to Mark Spencer for finding this patch:
If you are experiencing leftover zombie processes from your AGI scripts that
have terminated, this is apparently due to a RedHat 9 threading issue
introduced in a recent update....
To get rid of this, try entering the following line before you start
asterisk:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
It works for me - I'm still checking to

Experiences with Fedora 1
Hi all-
Over the past week or two, I've been trying out asterisk under Fedora 1
Linux (RedHat). In my setup (single and dual Xeon motherboards), I have so
far had a very good experience in terms of performance. In doing E1 load
testing, I've found that Fedora handles heavy load much better than RedHat9,
probably because of its better use of the multi-threading capabilities of
the Xeon.

I have a client in Orange County California who will soon need some
consulting assistance with their new asterisk system. I've been asked
to help them find someone. Skills needed would be, in order of

Multiple E1 configuration question
Hi all-
This question is for those familiar with EuroISDN setup.
I have a customer in Europe where I'm going to install an asterisk based
system with 4 E1's. The customer will configure them all in one large hunt
group.
My question is about the E1 channel configuration. I know that usually
single E1 spans are set up with 30 channels (1-15 and 17-31) as the voice
(bearer) channels and

Question about cdr_sql fields
Hello-
Is it possible to set the CDR record field called "accountcode" from within
the dialplan? Or is there another way to cause this field to be set,
preferably without using AGI code.
Thanks

cdr_mysql question: accountcode
Hello-
I'm using the "accountcode" field in cdr table to store some temporary
information used by my perl scripts. I'm finding that the field seems to be
truncated to 19 characters, even though the allocated field in the table is
larger (varchar(45)).
Anyone familiar with the asterisk sources know where I can make a change to
keep this from happening? ie: to allow more

3.3v PCI board - TE410P photo
Hi-
I have posted a photo of the TE410P Digium card on my site,
so that those wishing to purchase a compatible motherboard
can see physically what the PCI slot requirement is:
http://www.evtmedia.com/TE410P.htm
I believe the required slot is a 64-bit, 3.3 Volt PCI, most
commonly found on Xeon-based motherboards. A 64-bit slot is
longer than the TE410P board requires, but the PCI connector

T100P-E100P circuit board differences
Hi-
Perhaps someone with an E100P in hand can answer this:
I just received an E100P from Digium (I normally buy quad boards)
I noticed that the circuit board says "T100P" on it, and I assume that the
T100P and E100P both use the same circuit board.
Can someone please confirm that their E100P says "T100P" on the artwork?
Thanks

Self-testing E1 cards?
Hi-
I've been considering writing some self-test software for several quad-E1
cards that I've just received from Digium.
I don't have an E-1 channel bank, so this would be my way of checking that
everything hardware-wise is working fine before I head out to the dark and
cold confines of my customer's equipment room - to make everything work with
their E1's.

TE410P ERRORS under load
Hi all-
HELP!
This is actually a revisit of a problem that I had earlier with E400P's at a
customer site. Customer still gets locked up channel problem, but has
learned to live with it (channels clear themselves after several minutes).
The symptoms, which I believe are directly related:
I'm having problems with tons of framing and "read" errors on my E1
connections (and

PRI dead in USA?
Hi-
Because a majority of my customers are in Europe, I've gotten quite used to
working with ISDN (PRI) and BRI on a regular basis. Recently one of my
customers asked me if I could terminate a few lines locally here in the USA
(California), so I called up SBC to enquire as to how much it would cost to
install a BRI here.
Although the rates were reasonable (except the installation), I got

Rockwell ACD - "Take back and transfer"
Hi all-
I have a customer with a Rockwell Spectrum ACD. They wish to connect
to an asterisk system using euro-ISDN circuits, and asked me if asterisk
supports a feature that they call "Take back and Transfer".
This feature allows an IVR (asterisk in this case) to handle a call and
then blind-transfer it back through the ACD to another extension-
freeing up the asterisk channel.

Tuning the Linux kernel?
Hi all-
It's often mentioned here that recompiling the Linux kernel may improve the
performance of asterisk.
My question is: Does re-compiling the kernel have any effect if there are
no changes to the configuration?
What parameters will typically improve performance?
Thanks for any insight!

Good system board to use with TE410P?
Hi-
I'm looking for an appropriate system board to power a system with two (2)
Digium TE410P cards. Since these cards require the 3.3 volt PCI, I'm
considering vendors like Tyan for the motherboard.
Can anyone please tell me their experiences with the Tyan i7501 series
(Xeon-basd), or recommend an alternate motherboard?
Thanks

PRI integration with Marconi switch
Hello-
Has anyone had experience connecting to a Marconi switch (in the UK) using
E1-PRI connections (TE410P)? In a new installation, my customer is getting
yellow alarms on every channel about every 30 seconds. These alarms clear
themselves immediately and then re-occur in another 30 seconds, ad
infinitum.
I used the same configuration that I've used successfully in the past while
