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 particular

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 Scott Scott M. Stingel Emerging Voice Technology Inc.

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

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.

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

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

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 Scott Stingel Scott M. Stingel President, Emerging Voice

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! Scott Scott M.

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

Hello- What is the .gsm format? Ie: what's the encoding method and sample rate please? Thanks Scott Scott M. Stingel Emerging Voice Technology Inc. Palo Alto, California and London, England Email: scott@evtmedia.com URL: www.evtmedia.com

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 Scott Scott M. Stingel Emerging Voice

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

Update on this problem: I gave up on the "native" h.323 because, like others, I couldn't get audio working. (yes, I tried disabling FastStart in ast_h323.cpp - no change) So I went and got the OH323 code from www.inaccessnetworks.com. Glad to say that everything seems to work so far. Not only does audio work, but even the handshaking is now working in both OpenPhone and even

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

Hi, I have resources available to host a portal specifically for the Asterisk system, to help correlate documentation, FAQ's and How To I am new to Asterisk, and my hardest work is in locating information on using or configuring the software. Would Mark, John or any of you feel this would be of benefit to host? I am offering a PHP-NUKE portal for this, (Unless you know of a better

Hello, We have one production server that is identically configured to another production server except for the fact that they each use a different type of digium quad T1 card(one has T400P and one has TE405P). The server with the 405 has been developing delay problems with Sipura SPA-2000 phone adapters after a call has gone on for 15-30 minutes (up to 1 second audio delay). I asked Sipura and

Hi all, Does somebody know how I have to setup my TE405P ? Is it correct my configuration below ? Otherwise, can somebody help me ?

Hi- Anyone using the Junghann's quad BRI card and the Digium E100P in the same system? I'm having a configuration problem where I can configure the cards one at a time (with the appropriate drivers loaded) in a system, but when I try them both together, neither will work. They both work fine one at a time. Probably has something to do with the channel numbering. I've tried

Hi, I am an asterisk newbie and looking around for information . I wish someone could take their valuable time off to answer my query in detail. I wish to set up an IVR system that can allow user authentication and therefter accept 2-3 inputs from users ..generate a key and transmit the same in voice back to the user . The system will intially have small load but if the whole package in future

I'm having difficulty getting a PRI working between asterisk and a Merlin Legend. I have been attempting to get it going as esf, b8zs & 5ess (although I have tried other switchtypes...). I found the following info in the Legend docs: If the switch type is 5ESS, the protocol MUST be set for ATT Custom. If switch type is DMS-100, the protocol MUST be set for NTNAPRI The README in
