similar to: Planning "hotel" phone system - Need input

I'm considering using asterisk to replace an existing PBX in a 40 room hotel and would appreciate any comments, corrections or insight before I begin. Only 8 PSTN connections are initially required but since the guests need dial-up internet access in the rooms it has to be Frac-T1 as opposed to using FXO ports on a channel bank. IP phones are not an option strictly because of price. The

I have a brief from a local hotel to build a PBX using Asterisk but they want to use their exisiting telephones and wiring from an old PBX that no longer works. Basically, I can build the system but an looking for a card that will allow for upto 20 extensions to be wired into the back of the PC. Doeas anyone know of a solution to this Sean-- ICQ: 679813 FidoNet: 2:263/950 Jabber:

There is hotel application weary popular in Croatia - Micros-Fidelio. Now I need to connect Asterisk with this application for purpose of billing. Thing is that hotel would like to give customer one bill for every service that he used while he was in hotel. Has anybody connected Asterisk with Micros-Fidelio? As I understand this isn't some local developed application, it's something

I am working with a small inn (under 50 rooms) that is next to a ski resort. The inn just had Cat5e Homeruns to each room installed, with a patch panel in the basement. Now it's my job to connect each of the those rooms to the Internet. I think I have a Cisco switch that I can do Private VLANS with, however I thought of another solution. Has anybody seen or does anybody know of a VoIP

Our company can offer VoIP to premises and domestic users and bill the premises as a whole. We need something to enable the hotel owner to bill each guest in a hotel in real time. What solutions do exist presently? (PS: Our radius (and every telephony equipment outside the hotel) does not recognise which room in the hotel initiated the international (VoIP) call, so that's the main problem

Are there any known issues with putting 2 4-port T1 cards in a single box and having all ports and all channels in use at the same time? Planning on 4 of these boxes, dual AMD cpu MB from MSI, 512m, redhat 9, agp video, on board NICs, serial ata raid. Any input would be appreciated. -Joe

Hello, We just had some new T1s turned up today to replace others that our contract has run out on and we are now getting more echo on the new T1 lines than we had on the old ones. The T1 type is 24-channel, D4/AMI SF Robbed-bit(the same as the T1s they replaced) The problem is that we are getting echo on about 10% of the calls in and out placed on these new T1s compared to less than 1% with

I am new to Asterisk (and phone systems for that matter) and was looking for guidance. My company is looking at installing a new phone system/PBX in our new location and I am trying to convince them to go with the Asterisk PBX. I see on http://www.asterisk.org/index.php?menu=features <http://www.asterisk.org/index.php?menu=features> what features are available but my biggest problem right

I have a couple of live T1s sitting around and they are not ISDN(like most of the people that are using Asterisk seem to be using), they are regular old 24 channel, robbed-bit, E&M wink start, D4AMI T1 circuits. Can I get these T1s to work with a T100P Digium card and asterisk? Searching through the lists and the documentation I haven't seen any examples of how to configure this kind

Hi, Please forgive my terminology, still a bit new to T1s and such. I'm looking for a way to have 5 T1s from a carrier terminate into some type of box (multiplexer?), then be able to plug 7 asterisk servers into that box (each with single port T1 card) and be able to have 2 * servers go down at any given time and not actually have the carrier see that anything has happened. Obviously if a *

I am wondering if it's possible to use a bunch of cards in a PCI backplane instead of going out to the extensions with T1 and then and adapter. How are people connecting to large amounts of extensions?

Hello, I've seen various suggestions thrown around for hardware when people ask, but can we all agree on some basic hardware recommendations for a few basic setups(and post them on a website) to make it easier for new people to avoid some of the hardware/software pitfalls when they are setting up their first systems. Something like this: (THIS IS JUST A PROPOSED LAYOUT SO PLEASE BE GENTLE)

Has anyone here used T1s with RBS with asterisk? Cary Fitch

I have a couple of questions about Digium's T1 cards, such as the TE410P. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. 1) Do they support standard T1s or are they ISDN-only? 2) Do you know of anyone offering support for configuring T1s for Digium cards, and if so at what cost? Thanks, Matthew Roth http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Running%20Asterisk%20on%20Debian

Hello everyone, I'm sure someone had an experience arranging hunt-group setup for incoming calls on T1 PRI channels of Digium TE110P card. For instance, I have main DID channel associated with number (555) 222 0001. And I have whole bunch of other DID channels on same T1 card like (555) 222 0090, (555) 222 0091, (555) 222 0093. My goal is when a call comes to the main number which is

Dear Harry, Thx for the explanation. My team manage building's PBX that use Asterisk 13.x. We use Asterisk PBX for this buildings that have apartment and office customer. >From my Asterisk PBX, we connect to IPPhone (yealink) or ATA Converter (cisco SPA112). Others are using PBX like panasonic analog, audiocodes SBC, etc, and we use ATA Converter to convert from SIP to Analog (CO Line)

Hi list! The stability of * with fax (or the lack of it) is causing me headaches. To solve it, I was thinking to put a TE205P card in the * box, connect the E1 pri on one port and a channelbank (I was thinking of the Rhino) on the other port in T1 mode. (Has anyone tried this??) The TE205P supports channel bridging which sounded like the ideal (but not cheap) solution when combined with a

All, I have done research on VoIP for some time now. I'm a Cisco certified Network Engineer however Telecom is not my strongest suit. I've been a part of this mailing list for sometime but my delusions of grandeur in migrating our 25 year old phone system to a new platform have been on the back burner, until now. I have found my company is moving to a new location(building) and this

Are you looking for local or Long distance? What will these T1s primarily be used for(inbound/outbound, domestic, local, long distance, international) How important are per minute rates to you? how many minutes do you expect to use per month? We are in Tampa Florida and have 15 T1s from several different providers so I may be able to refer you to one if it's a match to what you're
