similar to: Asterisk and softswitch

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?

Dear Alex; Thanks alot for your nice help. This is if I need to let Asterisk register with another softswitch (so I used register =>), what if I need asterisk to send call for the softswitch without register to it (directly)?

Hi All, I want to use Asterisk for VoiceMail for a softswitch. I can dial in to leave voicemail and retrieve. Now there are many SIP Endpoints registered to the Softswitch.

Hi List; If I need to do a trunk between Asterisk and another SIP softswitch (so Asterisk will send a SIP calls to that softswitch), then I have to configure this on the sip.conf file or where exactly? And is it the same when I configure iax trunk? Should I determine the context in this case for this SIP trunk? Regards Bilal

I've been working in the VoIP industry for just a bit over a year now... Mostly taking care of the underlying systems. I've now reached the point where I'm being drawn more and more into the call processing side of things. My background is in computer and "classic" telephony systems (DMS250/MTX, DSC 400, T1, channel banks. telabs analog echo supressor modules and

Hi All, I've been experimenting during this weekend with asterisk as a softswitch, talk about me being completely lifeless, but let not talk about that. I've been conducting some really funny tests, trying to get an optimal SoftSwitch functionality. Here is my current setup: Source: Windows XP Pro + SJphone Box 1: Asterisk running in PassThorugh mode Box 2: Asterisk running in

As an example....if we have a call that: 1. originates via PSTN line to one of our local DID's in Seattle 2. comes into our Asterisk server in Los Angeles or Denver 3. is routed by Asterisk for termination back to a different Seattle PSTN ....and if our VOIP call termination provider requires (in order to get their best rate) all calls to go through their Nextone

Hi, I've seen some hardphones or Softswitchs now support this sip.instance feature : http://www.softarmor.com/wgdb/docs/draft-jennings-sipping-instance-id-01.txt I don't really see any convincing use of this draft but I would be curious to share thoughts on it.

I'm having problems getting Asterisk SIP to register with an Entice softswitch SIP Gateway. My provider tells me that all thats needed is a user name, password and the IP address and to register and it needs to be using MD5 authentication. I continualy get a "603 Decline" message.

Hi All; Alot of softswitches or PBX's does not accept to manipulate any SIP call without being registered firstly. So that means, I need asterisk to register firstly then I can route my calls to that SIP trunk. In IAX2, we use the register => , so what shall we do in Asterisk? And how its format will be (if we will use register)? Or what is the solution? Regards Bilal

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

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've been using VoIP over a not so reliable net: I usually get a 5% to 10% packet loss and a very high jitter. I tried several codecs and parameters, and the only thing left to test is PLC (Packet Loss Cancellement). Have the astesrisk and digium people implemented PLC?, Are they implmementing it now? and, if not, Where can i find an implementation? Thanks in advance -- Jorge

Hi, To push voice through a long thin wan (dsl) there are two choices: (1) have the cisco's (7912G) talk g729a to each other (reinvite=yes), or (2) have the cisco's talk to their local * in ulaw (reinvite=no), which talk to each other through a more advanced low-bandwidth codec (ilbc or speex) which is best? (2) would have more latency, wouldn't it? Did I miss a third option?
