Hi, I'm wondering what the best option to obtain a high availability asterisk server is. I currently use a TE410P (4 x E1) card. I'm thinking of 2 different solutions: - 2 servers configured with Heartbeat + DRBD (drbd mainly for voicemail....) and the E1 span plugged to the 2 servers (with a TE410P in each server). - 2 servers configures with Heartbeat + DRBD with the E1 span hooked

RAD appear to have bucketloads of products which bridge between various interfaces (E1, BRI, POTS) and their own TDMoIP protocol. The attractive thing about them for me is their availability in Australia. The voip wiki says not much about it (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/TDMoIP), and certainly nothing about if there is any way to get Asterisk to talk TDMoIP. Despite the name, TDMoIP

Has anyone on the list used a Soekris engineering PC as a TDM - Ethernet bridge? For example something like a net4801 with a TE110p in it and then using TDMoE to get it into a bigger server where the call processing proper will occur. Anyone know if it might handle a quadspan card ok? (no transcoding, just pure PRI to TDMoE bridging). Craig

So here is my setup. Hardware: Intel P3 1.2 Ghz 1 GB RAM 36 GB Drives Mirrored Software: CentOS 5 2.6.18 Kernel Asterisk 1.4.14 Zaptel 1.4.7 (redfone) LIbpri 1.4.2 I'm using TDMoE with my PRI using a product called fonebridge from a company called redfone. They require that I use their own build of zaptel and I am trying to figure out if the problem is with them or something else. The

Has anyone every attempted to set up a mini PC to achieve much the same functionality as the fonebridge box? The sort of thing I'm imagining is a micro itx board & case in a completely solid state configuration (flash disk, maybe a psu fan but only if really required), with a TE210P (or equiv) card(s). The sole purpose of this would be to be a bridge between E1 lines and TDMoE. The

I'm scoping out HA for a relatively simple Office/Call Center PBX. Current setup uses a TE412P with 4 PRI our telco with SIP hard/soft phones for users. Some outbound also goes to a SIP provider. Active/Active looks to be too much hassle for an installation this size, so we're looking at adding an extra * in an active/passive configuration with Linux-HA in between them. Does anyone

I've been evaluating Asterisk for a while, and things seem to be going very well. The issue of redundancy and automatic fail-over is now on my mind. I searched the archives and googled for solutions, but didn't really come up with much. We'll be using queues (modified), which precludes some of the standard redundancy solutions, since the queue needs to know all the agents

Hi List, I'm finding a solution to provide failover and load balancing features to my IVR system. Anyone suggest me what is the best solution please?. what the hardware I should use ?. I heard about RedFone, but someone on the mail list said that it is not good because TDMoE module in asterisk is not so stable and TDMoE is stale. And It seems that RedFone doesn't not support load

Hi, Some help with dimensioning the server will be gladly accepted. -50 sip phones (g729) or g711(to avoid transcoding) in LAN -an asterisk server (1.4) doing normal pbx functions + voicemail in the same LAN -Some sporadic conferencing with no more than 2 sip phones and maybe 2 or 3 calls coming from the E1 for a total of 5 people in a conference. The asterisk server will get an E1(pri) via one

I am looking for input on wether the 4 port T-1 foneBridge is a useful device in a asterisk deployment. Would it be better to loadup a extra asterisk server to trunk the T-1's via IAX or is TDMoE safe in production enviroments. We are only looking at 2 T-1's, one for pstn and the other to a channel bank. Any advice? Bruce Reeves Nortex Networks -------------- next part -------------- An

What are the options to hook a T1 card up to a laptop running * ? Are there USB or PCMCIA T1 cards ? Has anyone tried a USB to PCI adapter as such : http://www.mobl.com/expansion/products/cardbus_expansion/1slot/ It looks nice but cost 1k how about the linux drivers ? the goal is to have a portable demo system thanks - Arnaud

Hello all, I have no problems setting up trunk groups in general, but is there a way to set up a trunk group for outbound calls that includes channels on multiple servers? I might have missed something somewhere, but I couldn't find any reading about this topic. Thanks! Sean

For high-availability Asterisk when using PRI Lines, you might also want to check out our product (FSV-4PFS). It's available at www.failsafevoip.com Bill Also to add to the last post does this device have hardware echo cancelation? if it does it could be a great replacement, if not may not be what I'd really want to use. Thanks, tom I've been looking at the RedFone foneBRIDGE2

I've been asked to look at deploying Asterisk in a high availability environment and I've been looking so I've been searching for methods to decouple the voice PRI circuits from the Asterisk server so failover to another server could take place. I've been looking at the RedFone foneBRIDGE2 2e1 product here:

It is amazing to me at this point that there is not an official Digium list of supported servers (including 1u models!). Clearly the number 1 issue with the Digium PRI cards is the server that they are used in. The new cards even go as far as listing server that DO NOT work on the Digium site! The wiki references are old and do not have any testing parameters. C'mon guys! Certify a

Robert, Essentually I want to be able to have Server B dial the extensions connected to server A as well as route calls to the outbound route on Server A. Server B will have little to no knowledge of what is on Server A. I just want it to dump the calls off. For some reason I keep thinking this was a PRI type of thing. Like there was a module that loaded up as a fake PRI that your

Hi, I'm using heartbeat as a failover for my asterisk server. on the active server 1 i have 10.10.10.1 eth0 10.10.10.3 secondary eth0 asterisk listens to the secondary ip, so that if server 1 fails, server 2 will then get that IP. so if server 1 fails, server 2 will have the IP 10.10.10.2 eth0 10.10.10.3 secondary eth0 problem is i have to bind asterisk to the secondary IP if dont, i

Hi list, I recently purchased an ISDNguard from Junghanns. It came with no software and there is no sign on their website or in any of their documentation where to download it. I have looked in http://www.junghanns.net/downloads/ and there is no sign of it there either. The only thing remotly close ther is isdnguard-asterisk-1.2.13.patch. Their documentation refers to /usr/sbin/ISDNguard. Where

Hi all, I recently purchased a Junghanns ISDNguard and to my horror I found out: - Junghanns technical support is non-existant - I can't use it without recompiling Asterisk with res_watchdog My situation: - Recompiling Asterisk with thrid party code is not an option us - We only need it for manual failover - don't require all the fancy monitoring stuff I need a simple shell script
