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:

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

Hello, I'm trying to decide between the foneBRIDGE2 ($1135) and foneBRIDGE2-EC ($1610). Has anyone here directly compared the two? Would we really suffer without the onboard echo cancellation? The manufacturer's site doesn't really give much helpful information about choosing one over the other. Thanks. -- Kevin DeGraaf

I'm looking for reports of recent experience with redfone fonebridge2 (with echo can) TDMoE gizmos. Anybody? Good? Bad? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hello List Does anybody have any experience with the FoneBridge line of products from RedFone? I think their HA implementation sounds interesting, and like the prospect of having dedicated hardware for our PRI connections. Kind Regards Jon Leren Sch?pzinsky

We tried them out early last year when we were looking at a large deployment and they gave us a lot of the redundancy that we wanted. However we did run into issues where calls seemed to get caught up in the system. It was as far as we could tell rather random. No consistency to it at all. Asterisk hung up the call but the telco side of the line didn't actually hang up. The channel was left

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.

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

Hey guys, I am trying to diagnose a hum in my FXO lines I am using an Adtran 750 with 8 FXO ports. I am getting a pretty bad hum on the line during a call. I have checked the Telco side of the 66 block and there is no hum there so it's my problem to fix. I have tried to lower the gain but that reduces the call volume to much. Where else should I be looking? Setup as follows Dell

Hello, I want to create channel bank in this case: "channel bank" |-----------------------------------------| | FXS,FXO<----->TDMoE<--|---------------------------------->Asterisk |-----------------------------------------| How can it?

I'm having (I think) timing issues in relation to bridged T1-T1 calls via dynamic spans. Fax calls are intermittently working, but voice is fine. My box has a Sangoma A400 inside it as the primary Zaptel timing source. My T1 PRIs that are hooked to the box come in via a foneBRIDGE2 (dynamic TDMoE spans). PRI #1 is the telco and PRI #2 is an existing Comdial FX-II. For some reason, bridged TDM

Hi I've published my Asterisk/foneBRIDGE2/heartbeat setup: config files, scripts... along with a brief description of the architecture and working of the cluster. It's available here: http://www.bisente.com/blog/2007/08/26/asterisk-cluster-fonebridge2/? lan=english Hope somebody finds it useful. :) Regards -- Vicente Aguilar <bisente at bisente.com> |

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

We have been using Red-fone foneBridge2 Quad T1/E1 for last few years. As these devices are not available anymore, we are looking for alternatives.

I have a T400P in my main building M and am going to put asterisk boxes in two buildings A & B. I already have our wan on fiber running between the buildings (including some extra strands) and the distance is beyond straight Ti distance so I would need csu... to use copper. It occurred to me that I could use TDMoE - and it may be less costly. My assumption is that the best to avoid the

We have been pretty much able to solve our echo problems, except for the primary mode in which we desire to operate our system. See system diagram at bottom.

Hello, I've been using TDMoE accross 2 * boxes for months. It was working well, but * would crash when anyone would try to connect via h.323. So, I got the latest CVS release and compiled without h.323 support. After I made and installed the latest CVS the TDMoE channels stopped working. They have been working great (especially after we got echo cancel working them, thanks Mark) and the

Hello, I want to link several * boxes together. Some of them are dedicated as "user" servers (SIP and IAX clients connect to them) and some are used as PRI servers (where the PRIs are hooked onto). I think TDMoE is the only channel type where you can group different Interfaces into a single group. E.g. for using Dial(ZAP/g1/12345), I think you cannot group different IAX accounts
