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 =>

Does anyone know the default E&M Wink timings for Nortel DID ports? The default settings on Asterisk are: ; prewink: Pre-wink time (default 50ms) ; preflash: Pre-flash time (default 50ms) ; wink: Wink time (default 150ms) ; flash: Flash time (default 750ms) ; start: Start time (default 1500ms) ; rxwink: Receiver wink time (default 300ms) ;

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?

Hi, I'm getting a situation where 2 of my trunks (loopstart pots) are occationally bridged together (3624 Newbridge channel bank - asterisk signalling=fxs_ks for trunks) and are staying off hook until I do a 'soft hangup' on one of them. When I listen on a butt set each of the lines are silent (or at least by the time I find them). I am guessing one of the end users isn't properly

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 =>

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?

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 just migrated from Asterisk 1.0.0 to Asterisk 1.0.5 and I have an X100P installed. The old asterisk was working, but now the new version isn't picking up any calls! However, I did notice that after installation, I performed modprobe zaptel and modprobe wcfxo and they worked fine, but when I executed ztcfg, I get the following errors: ioctl(ZT_LOADZONE) failed: Invalid

I'm having problems with unclean hangups (being read as a flash instead of a hangup?). Can I turn off hook flash recognition in asterisk, but still have the flash button on the analog phone operational? Could I use these settings in zapata.conf to fix my problem? *prewink*: Sets the pre-wink timing. *preflash*: Sets the pre-flash timing. *wink*: Sets the wink timing. *rxwink*: Sets the

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

I have two Adtran 750's connecting our analog phones to asterisk. On occasion, I get a channel that gets "stuck" off hook. 'show channels' shows: Zap/27-1 (longdistance s 1 ) Rsrvd (None) (None) And will just stay like that until the phone is manually picked up and hung up again (or asterisk is stopped/started). I guess this is a function of an unclean hangup (being

Hi, I set up a t1 from my sys75 to asterisk. After much experimentation I got it to work as e&m wink start. If dialing the trunk access code from the sys75 (a 5 - this is stripped on the s75), asterisk picks up and provides dial tone immediately. Here is the problem, after about 3 seconds that line switches into s,1 of the default context. If I dial (5)1234 very fast - before the switch to

I have a T400P in my main building M and am going to put asterisk boxes in two buildings A & B. I already have our wan on fiber running between the buildings (including some extra strands) and the distance is beyond straight Ti distance so I would need csu... to use copper. It occurred to me that I could use TDMoE - and it may be less costly. My assumption is that the best to avoid the
