Hi, folks, I'm installing a RAID controller card for a large external RAID box in a Dell server. I've got two riser slots available. Here's the question: the controller card has some large chips on one side, and if I put it in riser 1, those chips face downwards in the box, blocking ease of cooling, while if I put it in riser 2, the chips will face up... but be right over a large

Still finding my feet here. I need a server which can take approx 100 sip users accessing 24 channels through pri. Approx 20 concurrent calls. 6000 calls a month. Are there any "rules of thumb" when it comes to sizing hardware. I've checked the wiki but nothing close to what I need plus some of the information is really old now and may not be relevant. Also, what server

Fellow server-builders out there, this is for you. :) I was trying to build a cheap JBOD type storage solution running CentOS. Ended up snagging a Supermicro SC826TQ-R800LPB 2U case (12 drives slots) and a Supermicro X7DBE-O motherboard. Unfortunately, without thinking I snagged a 3ware 9650SE-12ML SATA RAID card which is a full height card and thus does not fit in my case. I have a few

Hello, I've got a FreeBSD 5.5 box running Samba 3.0.21 and every-time I try to do a "mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password // server/share /mnt/folder" I get the error "smbfs: -o username=: option not supported". I've google'd this with no luck... any help in the right direction is appreciated. --- Jason Zondor

Hello I'd like to build myself an Asterisk server for SOHO use. Intel's D201GLY2 motherboard (http://tinyurl.com/ddarzp) looks like a very good deal, but I'm concerned about two things: 1. Will an A400P (from OpenVox, but supposed to be Digium-compatible http://tinyurl.com/ck6nfu) fit with a PCI riser, or will the CPU heatsink/fan be in the way? I downloaded the PDF from

I have a TDM400p with 3 fxs and 1 fxo daughter cards. It's in a mini-itx case with a 'right-angle' PCI riser card so the TDM400p is 'sandwiched' between the Atom D525 CPU and the 2.5" hard drive. I'm getting a bunch of clicks and pops on all ports. Has anybody had a similar experience? Did you find a solution? -- Thanks in advance,

Hello, I'm looking for any information on setting up VLANs to seperate the telephony network from the ordinary network. I have google'd around but haven't found a lot of information in the best way to go about this. Has anyone managed to do this successfully in conjunction with asterisks? If so, could they provide an overview of what they did and how they find it? Did the performance

Just to drag this thread on a bit further ... I've been looking into these little boxes, thinking I could use one as a firewall/gateway. My one requirement is that it would need to have two PCI slots (one can be low-profile), and although I've seen PCI riser cards that can give me two slots, they've been rare, and cases that are suitable (i.e have the space, and back panels are

Be sure to hit the 3Ware site to read about _incompatible_ risers! At 66+MHz PCI/PCI-X signaling, many cards/risers have issues. Many are only designed for 33MHz. -- Bryan J.

Hello For those SOHO customers (ie. at most, a couple of POTS/ISDN connections and simultaneous SIP calls) who'd rather not use a big, noisy PC to run Asterisk, I'd like to offer an alternative that has the following features: - not old hardware sold on eBay, ie. it must be up-to-date hardware sold by a company currently in business - compact, silent - has room for a 2.5" hard-disk,

Hi all... looking for some assistance with my first Samba setup. The setup: On a small (five-computer, mixed Win2k and WinXP pro) LAN, I'd like a share on my FreeBSD server to be available for storage. No printing, no PDC, no individual user directories or password protection -- just a big ol' slice of storage for everyone to access equally. I've come close, (the share shows up

Hi - I have a NFS/NIS server environment running CentOS 5.5 on a Dell Optiplex 240. I would like to back it up and then move it to a new machine. Couple of questions: 1. This is an older computer Dell Optiplex 240 that I am unable to connect a USB drive to. In the "linux rescue" environment fdisk -l shows only /dev/hda but lsusb shows the three partitions that are on the drive. I

Hi guys, i've installed asterisk to handle multiple voip accounts. I've looked at CDR configs, and managed to have cdr-csv files growing after each call. It would be easier to check my locak asterisk cdr's than logging into each account and check them at the provider website. i found that if i ring my sip softphone from my ata, bill seconds are counted correctly. however, if i

Hi, This is a little off-topic,but if someone has any info, it could help me a LOT!, I am building an asterisk pbx (1.0.9) on an IBM x306 SCSI machine,my problem is that the BIOS assigns the same IRQ to the SCSI controller, and the TDM400P, i have tried several options of making the bios change the IRQ, but it will always move them together, anyone with some info about my options ? Thanks,

All, Since I have now (at least partially) got my 7961G phones working with Asterisk, I have temporarily moved on to try to get the expansion modules working. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of documentation here either. Does anyone have this combination working (or any 79X1) here? My goal is ultimately to do the monitoring approach. I have Google'd around, but come up

Question was ask of me today and I haven't yet google'd it... Any one know of a VB6 opensource voip project (in particular SIP) ?? Gary .

All, I am having a lot of trouble with the Cisco 7961G phones. I have managed to get them up and running with Asterisk to the point where I can get incoming calls and make outgoing calls. The problem is when I make outgoing calls or extension to extension calls, the calls die after 20 seconds. I have google'd around and came up with little that is of help. The firmware version I am

Hello, I have recently compiled Samba 3.0.0 Beta 3 on Debian Woody. I compiled it with LDAPSAM support.
