In the 'me too' vein, I also have an untested 3624 here on the shelf and am waiting on a shipment of T100 cards to play with. Documentation is very hard to come by. Alcatel are certainly the owners of the Mainstreet product line but, without a support contract, any documentation they may have is essentially unavailable as their per-incident fees for support cost more than most of the

Hi, I just got a T1 interface for a AT&T (became Lucent) System75 (uses same cards as Definity). I would take a crack at making a cable but can't determine the pinout for a cable and it is not apparent from the board. Asking you guys makes sense as one of you may have one of these systems. The cable has a amphenol male D50 connector on one end and probably a rj45 on the other. I also

I have a machine that crashes every so often. I believe the following macro is responsible (gotoif,$[${ARG3}] in particular). The macro works as expected: if ARG3 is defined - hop over assignment. But my hunch is that it gradually chews up memory. ; This macro is puts voicemail in an alternate mailbox (if ARG3 defined - otherwise Mailbox matches extension). [macro-stdexten] exten =>

Hi I just came accross this Newbridge Mainstreet 3624 but the Alctel site appears to have zip for reference/user manuals Anyone by chance have 1 of these or a url for the docs ? thx

Hi, We are looking at consolidating our lines with PRI. This will allow the elimination of many fax lines. Some of them will be replaced with this type of config ... PRI * IAX * Channel-Bank FAX We will have daggressor suppressor enabled. Is anyone doing this and should I expect smooth operation?

I've got a Newbridge CB hanging on the wall not being used right now and I'd like to hear opinions on using it with Asterisk. If anyone has a manual for it I'd like to get a copy of it. I tried the googling approach but turned up nothing much except a Tech manual if I want to change out control boards. Thanks David Cox Director of Information Technology Ramtex, Inc.

I have a situation where I am receiving DID calls using Immediate Start Pulse signalling on a Loop Start trunk. The line terminates on a Newbridge Mainstreet 3624 channel bank, which provides battery etc. The channel is converted and routed to Asterisk. The lines are configured as follows: /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf ; Channels 1-24 service MainStreet 3624 channel bank context=infrom-did group=1

I'm still getting a sementation fault with mpg123. I have tried different parameters creating mp3s the last from cd audio ... lame -m s --resample 8000 -q 0 -a --cbr -b 32 and several versions of mpg123. I have always created 8000 hz outputs. I've got other * boxes that don't use moh that have been up for months. This one crashes every couple of days - the verbose output leading to a

I am ordering T1-PRI service from local service provider and have a few questions. Is there framing and coding considerations (or is it all one standard), if so what is best? How are calls routed based on DIDs - are these just dtmf tones passed after the call is picked up and treated as normal exten=> definitions?

Here is something I wrote years ago. I expect you can adjust it for your needs # cat remove_blank_vmail #!/bin/bash # remove_blank_vmail takes arguments as voicemail boxes and removes messages with audio files shorter then MINSIZE (in bytes) #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Description: # Author: John Harragin Monroe-Woodbury CSD # Created at: Thu Nov 6

Hi, I'm buying an interface for my Toshiba DKT424 to connect to *. Initially it is a trial to route internal calls over our wan. Think of it as a tie trunk between 2 pbxs. I expect to get PRI from the telco our layout will be like this: telco_T1_PRI to * to various PBX or TDM or IAX to * to other pbxs My question is, is there benefits to connecting with PRI over a standard T1 within my

I just called 6610 from Zap/1 exten => 6610,1,Dial,Zap/1&Zap/2 (Don't try this with the handset pressed up against your ear) ...is this the call waiting indicator? Is it a file, can it be turned down - and does it get used anywhere else? These are both fxs ports. In zapata.conf changinging to callwaiting=no stops this. The text implies that this affects fxo ports. John This e-mail

Hi, I'm looking for 4 line phones that will see some heavy usage (they need to be tough) for office secretary/receptionists. Any recommendations? One additional consideration (not particularly for my current needs) is regarding the page/intercom feature that can be mapped to one of the analog ports - does anyone know of a 4 line phone that will do this? Thanks, John This e-mail was

Hi, I am setting up a hylafax server. From what I've read so far, hylafax supports CID numbers and names but currently does not support DID. I assume I can do something like this... [40faxDIDs] exten => _87[5-8]X,1,SetVar(CALLERIDNAME=${EXTEN}) exten => _87[5-8]X,2,Dial(Zap/g${hylafaxMODEMGROUP}) ...and use the CIDName variable in hylafax to route the faxes to the appropriate

I would like to access VoiceMailMain2 skipping extension and password prompting if calling from a resource that has a mailbox defined. What variables can I use to retrieve the calling channel & calling extension (if it exists)? Here is what I'm trying to accomplish (of course ${CallingResourse.MailBox} is not a real way to retrieve this info)... exten =>

To answer my own question for the record: The relevant timing parameters in zaptel.h are #define ZT_MINPULSETIME (15 * 8) /* 15 ms minimum */ #define ZT_MAXPULSETIME (100 * 8) /* 150 ms maximum default, lowered to 100ms */ #define ZT_PULSETIMEOUT ((ZT_MAXPULSETIME / 8) + 50) And the pulse detecion loop that consumes these parameters begins at line 4866 of zaptel.c The

I have an older Newbridge Mainstreet 3624 upon which I'm terminating some analog DID lines. They are effectively loop-start trunks with battery supplied by me (ie. FXO) and consumed by the serving central office. One major part of DID is the requirement for providing Answer Supervision in the form of battery polarity reversal on the analog trunks. Without it wierd things start happening, like

I've been curious how IAX has been working for users running without a jitterbuffer and no echo cancellation. In my particular installation, IAX2 traffic remains within a pretty high bandwith WAN ( - but busy as it is linking buildings in a school district). It seems that at most times, things could run quite nicely in this mode. The ability to dynamically disable echo cancellation when end

Hi all, I have posted a copy of the 3624 manual on the web. It's 11MB and over 650 pages, so not exactly light reading! You can grab it at http://www.caeveo.com/files/newbridge3624.pdf. Please be kind and save it to your local machine instead of reading it from the web! Thanks! Sean -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, Can I make e&m wink start lines just wait for digits - instead of going to default? Someone else cleared a similar problem (as described below) on an fxo port with "usecallerid => no" but it is not doing the trick for me. In this case the line when straight to default which would be ok also. John I posted the stuff below about a week ago... I set up a t1 from my sys75 to
