similar to: DSS1 vs SS7

Hi, I have read about SS7 recently and learnt that it is a signalling protocol used in PSTN for call management, setup, etc. The thing that I don't understand is how SS7 plays a role in VOIP. When I make calls between landline and Asterisk via PSTN, I don't need to do anything with SS7. Is it because the SS7 signalling is already done by Asterisk already? From the prespective of

Any know what Digium hasn't released the DS3 card? It was supposed to be out a while ago. -Matt

As I am working my way to understand Asterisk, I have a couple of questions that hopefully someone will answer. I know there are differences between a PBX switch and a CO switch. Can Asterisk completely replace and act as a CO switch? Are there any telecoms out there using Asterisk as a CO switch? If so, how well does it work? If not, why not?

Just an FYI for Digium. I received a mailing today from you guys which was nice. The price of mailing was ~$1.60 and inside was an inflatable beach ball. Cool, but I tried to blow up the beach ball and the the seam where the part opens to inflate the ball was not connected to the ball whatsoever, so it went right in the trash. I wonder if the sick heat had anything to do with it, was mine just

Hi, Would just like to inquire if anyone here has a setup of asterisk to send traffic to AS5400 connected to an SS7-PRI.? this is more of a AS54 question, as i've been reading and i always stumble upon PGW2200 as a requirement to handle SS7 signaling on the AS54. Has anyone able to send calls from asterisk to an as 54 with SS7-PRI without PGW2200? TIA Regards, Nhadie --------------

Hello all, Anyone expecialized with call center monitoring and reporting solution based on asterisk. A client of us, want to install a call center reporting solution for an asterisk server but I do not know which could be the best tool for that. I need a tool for reporting queue calls, agent calls, and disconnect cause. Any clue will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. VoipCrazy

Hi Folks, I'm trying to send CallerID Name information out to the PSTN via a PRI with Bell Canada with no success. With inbound calls (originating from the PSTN) CNAM is received successfully, and we've not had any similar problems with other Telco PRIs, so I'm stumped.

Hi, Does anyone know of a way to get a dry copper pair (also known as an alarm line) from Verizon for less than $20/end? I know we have been able to get them, but they come out to $40/month for a circuit.. and there's no dial-tone over it!!!! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So this is just a general question, Is Asterisk really good? Reliability? Functionality? Customization's? I am coming from a Nortel world, were you pay for everything, and you can't delve into the software. But it seems that customization would be a great thing. Like, setting up a war-dialer to customer lists, incoming/outgoing faxes (that's possible with Asterisk, right?) and

There was a flurry of "Vonage is going to unlock SIP" activity last year; did anything productive ever come of it? Are *you* using your Vonage lines directly into Asterisk? In lieu of that, for a 4 line small business that doesn't need to pay Vonage $150 a month, who? Broadvoice? Someone else? I'm a touch unimpressed with the fact that BV's website *won't quote you

I'm trying to find a high port count ATA device. We have a lot (up to 110) analog devices that we need to bridge to IP. Rather than go out and buy 110 ATA's, it would make more sense to buy a single chassis type device with some number of ports and blades. Anyone know if such a device exists? Thanks, Doug. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi all, I am planning to implement LCR routing on my already running asterisk server. Uptill now i have found out that asterisk has no support for lcr, i have to do something about it myself, for example using the AGI. Im looking for ideas here. Whats the best way to start implementing lcr in asterisk. Should i use agi and start implementing my own lcr script or is there any plugin available which

This seems like a piece members of this list would find interesting... === There is growing concern over the interaction of VoIP systems with the legacy PSTN, and the transmission of caller identity data--most notably, Caller ID on the PSTN. It is not always possible, or obvious how, to handle Caller ID data when moving to or from VoIP and the PSTN networks. There are even business models

Does anyone know enough about the implementation of AstDB to know whether the data structure is a Hash function, a Balanced-Tree, a b-Tree, or a Linked List? I'm trying to estimate the lookup 'cost' of a AstDB with around 160,000 keys? Obviously I already know that it WILL WORK, but the question is whether the data structure is optimal in the Berkeley DB AS IMPLEMENTED in Asterisk.

Hi all, what is the signalling of IAX? Currently I want to connect two switch through IP using asterik signaling, and I want to transfer SS7 over IP (between the 2 asterisk), will IAX can transfer SS7 signalling through IP (like TDMoIP does) If no which solution can I use? see below the architecture switch1-------------Asterisk--------------------------Asterisk --------------------------Switch

Been working with Samba back to 1.9 or so, but this is the first time I've tried to set it up as a domain member server. I followed (I think) the instructions on how to do this in TOSHARG (which are about as disjointed as the book, which I took back), but I continue to be unable to get the box, running winbind, to reliably authenticate users off the PDC, which is running NT4 (and I'm not

Hello everyone, As I am new to the asterisk community (although have been on the list reading for about 6 months) I wanted to see what users would recommend for security to protect several asterisk/ vicidial servers over a fiber connection. Currently I have a managed switch (Tellabs 8813-310) from time warner but I am having intrusion issues on my linux server which I think are contributing
