similar to: PSTN -> E1 -> Asterisk -> T1 -> Rhino Channelbank -> Faxes --- works ?

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

Trying to find my feet here. If I wanted to connect Asterisk to a PRI and throw in a T1 Adtran channel bank into the mix for fax machines would the following work? Connect PRI line from telco to Port 1 on the Digium Wildcard TE205P. Connect Adtran TA-624-T1 to Post 2 on the Digium Wildcard TE205P also, would I need a crossover to the channelbank or is it a patch lead like the connection to the

Hello All, I'm looking to get some feedback on which solution of providing FXS is going to have the best results with faxing. I'm only looking to see what method is going to provide the best digitization into Asterisk, not for transmission from Asterisk to else where. Any recommendations of specific channel banks are welcome. I will need to provide approximatly 216 FXS Ports and need

Hi All. I'm working on an * configuration. We require 8 inbound POTS lines, and CT1 or PRI seems like it will be quite expensive at that level. I've read that a T1 Channelbank plus the T100P would be a (the?) way to go for this situation. What is the recommended channelbank for use in this scenario? From searching the archives I see a lot of suggestions to get "a

hi, we are currently planning are large site which will migrate from an old siemens hicom pbx to asterisk. it will be a slow migration, the asterisk server will be inserted between the telco E1 and the hicom. new phones will be sip ones. the customer has several fax machines and analog phones (some of them have to be explosion-proof). around 50 analog ports in total are needed. as we are in

Just saw these new Asterisk compatible cards at Rhino's homepage. Anyone has experience with these babes? http://www.rhinoequipment.com/index.html http://www.rhinoequipment.com/t1card.html The 4-port FXO looks interesting. Looks like a very clean design. Leo

We are a voip terminating company, we're using Channelbank with FXS modules, Rhino, CAC, etc.. What we're wondering is, is how to would you echo cancel a channelbank. Of course we're realizing that cancel'ing on the T1 (on Ast) does no good (we think?) because the analog conversion is at the channelbank. Suggestions? Lowering the gain helps but we're looking for a real solution

Ok, the Zhone sucks and the Adtran 750/850 seems to be a little too expensive. Can anyone recommend a decent channelbank that won't break the bank? TIA, -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks http://www.psknet.com 540.994.4254 ~ 866.477.5638 Pulaski Chamber 2002 Small Business Of The Year

Hi! Is there anyone that are using a E1-channelbank and have any tips about some type? Im looking at the TE410P and use one port for a PRI (Euro-ISDN, I think we're using some slightly modified version here in Sweden, but I'll check that tomorrow) and connect one port to a channelbank for 30 analogue telephones. It would also be great to get callerid on the analogue phones, so it would

Hi all, We need to get better echo cancellation on an Asterisk gateway. Currently it has two TE410P (1st gen) cards. So would it be possible to just buy two VPM450M cards ? Or do we need to buy two new TE412P cards ? In that case a Sangoma A108d card would be nice as well ? What configuration gives the best audio quality ? Thanks, Leon de Rooij leon at scarlet-internet.nl

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to connect 160 analogue phones to an asterisk PBX? Background information: A client wishes to replace their current PBX with a new VoIP system. Currently they have 2 PRIs. I intent to set up 2 asterisk PBXs with Debian GNU/Linux on raided drives. These drives will be mounted only read-only to recover gracefully from power-cycles. I am considering 2

Hi all, I have Asterisk working great for a while now, and until now, only needed to forward calls which originate from one country (Holland, +31). We have a Wildcard TE410P card and configured it in zapata.conf as: switchtype: euroisdn pridialplan: unknown ...etc This was all fine, but now we want to also forward calls to the voice-switch with a calling-number with a different country code.

Hi all, I have several queues defined in Asterisk, but when I put a user in two queues, the user (can) get two calls at once. (One from each queue). Right now, I configured some phones to only accept one call at once, but that has the side-effect, that also direct calls won't come through. Is there some configuration option to make sure that if a user has an open call from a queue, that

Hi, I've read through the Asterisk handbook and I'd just like clarification from someone that's implemented the above before. Lets imagine I want to use the CallingCard application and don't want to tell a client to buy a channelbank (the analog extensions are too many to connect to FXS cards), I figure I could set them up as below: Original Existing Setup

Hi all, I'm trying to insert a Rhino Ceros box equipped with a Rhino R2T1 dual-T1 card and running the latest version of Trixbox (2.4.2) between the central office and a Nortel Option 11. The switch at the CO is a DMS100. Basically, I'm taking the T1, connecting it to port 0 on the R2T1 card, and then connecting port 1 to the Nortel. (Actually a CSU and then the Nortel) We're running

Hi: We're offering some sort of reward to that one who can help us For this site we are using trixbox and Asterisk 1.2 More info off list.

Hi! I'm a new member in VoIP world. I want to implement a VoIP PBX using asterisk/tribox in the office but I have one doubt. Which is the best way to use actual PSTN lines in the VoIP PBX? Using a box as Linksys SPA400 or installing a PCI card (Rhino/Digium...) into the server? Which benefits/problems will I have with each option?

Is there any technical difference between a T1 cable and a cat5e patch cable as far as using them with Digium T1/E1 cards? Can PRI circuits terminating at a smart jack connect successfully to Digium cards using straight through CAT5e cables? If so, are they using all of the pins in the cable? Thanks in advance

I have posted this to the Asterisk Forums, but got no response yet. Sorry if you are reading this for the second time. What fax hardware do I need for a T1? Ideally, I will switch my T1 to a digital PRI (not CAS I'm told, which is not as good) coming into the building. My CLEC said I can do this switch no problem. I have an analog T1 coming in now. >From the Asterisk box, I will connect

Hey, all. I've got a non-PRI T1 that doesn't do DID "correctly:" I can't get the DID from the proper variables, and, instead, I direct it based on the four "least valuable" DTMF digits dialed by the T1 for in-bound calls. Which really works pretty well; Asterisk plugs them quite nicely into ${EXTEN}. Unless, that is, ${EXTEN} gets over-ridden when it's
