I'm confused a bit about the following and was hoping to get some answers on this group - What is exactly implied when we say asterisk can connect to a PSTN. Does it mean connecting to the PSTN via PRI/T1/E1? If yes, then I assume asterisk does not need to do any SS7 signaling and all it does (playing the role of a PBX) is to connect to a Class 5 Switch at the CO. Is this a correct statement?

Pardon my ignorance, but I was hoping someone could clear up something for me. - For a few POTS lines, digium has a single port card for that, or a T1 card to a channel bank. - For 10 or more lines, digium has a T1 or E1 card for that too based on PRI channels - For 100's to 1000's of lines, I suspect a soft-switch is in order??? A traditional phone company will sell: - POTS lines for

Thanks Brian, and thanks again for the included definitions <grin> - that helped too. Your comments are really helping clear many questions. I suppose our intensions are to become an IXC. So if my local carrier is sporting old technology, they'll provide TDM services. So if I understood you correctly, the "in-band signaling" is typically SS7, and the alternative is typically

Hello everybody, Im new to the list and also new to asterisk, Im wondering if I could set up asterisk as a softswitch, I guess for what I've been reading that It could be possible but almost all the info and documentation Ive found so far is about asterisk as a PBX, etc. Im willing to set a small voip wholesale traffic bussiness and Im not quite sure asterisk is the right chocie for that.

Hello.. I have a customer who wants to connect 2 PBX's over IP.. The setup should look like this: [PBX] <-- SS7 --> [Asterisk] <-- IAX --> [Asterisk] <-- SS7 --> [PBX] Since there are no SS7 cards , I was thinking at a way of carrying the E1 data as bulk...Can I do that ? How ? Is possible a scenario like this ? I'm thinking of IAX because I don't

My cdrs are missing accountcodes for incoming calls from other asterisk servers.. I've seen a few people mentioning this on the list and the solution seems to be setting up a dialplan for incoming calls from a particular sip peer.. in my opinion this does not scale well at all and I am looking for a solution to correct this problem. example sip peer: [asterisk_gw] type=friend

We currently use Asterisk to provide a SIP-to-PSTN service. The actual conversion takes place somewhere in a softswitch owned by our SIP-to-PSTN provider, where we have an SS7 link. We would like to do that conversion ourselves. Is it possible to replace a softswitch with a Cisco AS5xx0 only (ie. AS5300, 5350, 5400), or is a *real* softswitch (ie. Cisco PGW2200) needed? Does anyone have any

Maybe I've missed it but I'm wondering if there has been any movement towards getting t.38 support into asterisk.. has there been any news?

we're evaluating the use of a Lucent APX8100 E3/SS7 to SIP gateway for use in conjunction with asterisk, serving something like 4000+ lines. does anyone have experience with the APX8100 and it's integration with SIP on asterisk ? does the APX8100 handle SS7<->SIP signalling well enough to be used ? any anecdotes would be well appreciated. -- Regards,

Jakob, Seems like an easy solution for this case... But let me ask you a more general question. The reason I kept on hanging on to the MBB->splice was (probably outdated) assumption that it will one day properly update liveness for instructions it moves... That is a serious matter for what I am trying to do (global code motion in presence of bundles). What is the current thinking? Will

Sorry for the off-topic, but perhaps this will be of interest to other asterisk based ITSPs. We are starting service in a rural area where the ILEC has the rural "monopoly". From what we have read in the FCC docs this does NOT exempt them from number portability, but what does it take for us to qualify to receive their numbers? To date we simply have a few voice trunks to them,

Dear List; I am trying to create a link between Asterisk and My softswitch, the link to be SIP Trunk. I did the below configuration and I do not know if any one can help me and advise me to have better configuration to be sure that link is fine. But I do not know how to determine the SIP username to be sent for my softswitch as sometimes the softswitch need to check it. Also, does asterisk
