I have a North American BRI configured as National ISDN (NI-1) on an SBC (Nortel?) switch. SBC calls this "FastTrak ISDN", and it's surprisingly inexpensive -- less than two POTS lines. I've been trying to find an inexpensive PCI interface solution to connect this to Asterisk as voice lines. I prefer ISDN BRI over POTS lines because of the improved signalling, fast dialing,

Folks -- First, apologies for not lurking for weeks or months to get the culture of the list. I read the recent post about improvement to the quality of posts with some amusement and full agreement. The problem is a big and very real one. I hope I'm not deepening it. But my question isn't explicitly asked with this subject line or definitively answered in the archives -- that I have

Hello All, Has anyone configured bri to answer for only one msn? In essence, when the primary is busy I want to have channel 2 ring. I am using an eicon diva server bri I know I saw it in the windows interface, but don't see it in the linux setup. Regards, Greg

Subsequent to some previous E-Mails, I've been trying to dig into the ISDN - BRI situation a bit more. I have determined that I have a HFC card with Winbond chip, but I'm not sure what combination of drivers is best or usable. zaphfc is out because it only supports the cologne chip. misdn is a possibility. I haven't determined if it supports the card natively, or needs a card

> having two NICs on the same subnet I'm trying to wrap my brain around that in the larger network picture. Two NICs in the same subnet (presumably on the same computer) would have access to the same other devices. This could potentially increase bandwidth (maybe?) and offer redundancy (if NICS, wiring or switches were the biggest source of failure). I'm not sure how the OS would

Hi, Anybody have lots of experience with PCI ISDN cards and Asterisk? I'm thinking of getting a BRI in my house to deliver more advanced signaling to my PBX (yes, I'm a geek :-)) but I've never played with isdn4linux. Is there any particular BRI card that works better with Asterisk than any other? Also, can the BRI interface cards participate in conference, etc., since they

OK, I asked this about a week back and met with no repsonse at all. But perhaps its worth trying again. Does anyone on-list have * running BRI to their local telco? I'm considering this as an alternative to my TDM400p card. Michael -- Michael Graves mgraves@pixelpower.com Sr. Product Specialist www.pixelpower.com Pixel Power Inc.

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I have a business customer in the U.S. (Michigan, AT&T Territory). I need to get 4 trunks into an asterisk Box. My intention is to use an Eicon Diva Server card with 2 BRI Circuits. The reason for this is that the business needs DID's on the trunks (20 of them). A full or fractional PRI is overboard for them, as they will

Hi Running 1.2.26 BRI stuffed. Calls made via PSTN via ISDN interface (Junghanns). SIP ports mapped through firewall as we often connect from outside, but all SIP accounts have good passwords. However our telecoms provider picked up a few suspicious calls to places we do not normally call at times we do not often call. Looking at Asterisk logs it shows SIP session from the internet connected

Hi, please whoever has some expertise in choice of BRI ISDN cards, please restore my faith in community support :) (on private email I can probably explain more than fits for a public forum) Most I'd like to ask is about what to choose, out of what is available... My locality is United Kingdom, lines from British Telecom (BT), but any advice / pointers (I googled around already) are

Checkout Beronet ISDN cards and Berofix Gateway (appliance or pci card) Personally for my last installation I chose Berofix card which is rock solid and reliable, yet easily configurable. With berofix you don't need telephony drivers on the host system, the isdn card is detected as a NIC and all configuration is done using a web interface. Then you configure FreePBX a new trunk to use the

In Asterisk 1.6, there is an option to use the 'new g.711 algorithm'. "Use the NEW ulaw/alaw codec's (slower, but cleaner)" By slower does this mean more 'expensive', or does it instead mean that there will be more algorithmic latency? Both? Can anyone speak to the relative increases? With regard to accuracy, can anyone speak to what kind of situation might

Hello all What I'm looking for is some plain speaking advice on ISDN. Currently using 4 analog lines connecting via a four port TDM400P FXO card. We need to physically move our installations, and on requesting the analog lines be moved - our telco (BT) is suggesting we replace our analog lines with ISDN2. We would have 3 x ISDN2 connections, giving us six voice channels. They've

I'm looking to use Asterisk with Verizon ISDN centex service in the US. I'd be connecting to an NT1 so I'd need an S/T interface. Users would have SIP phones registered with Asterisk and sharing the ISDN lines. The only PCI ISDN card that will support ISDN signalling in the US seems to be the Eicon Diva Server cards. These are hard to find and very expensive ($2500 for the Quad

Hi, folks: I remain intrigued by the gap in BRI implementation between North America and Europe, and I wanted to get feedback from the list members on the matter. I'm seriously considering making the leap in our office. In Europe, the idea that an office that does not have enough lines to justify PRI would use analog lines is perceived as technologically backwards, and yet that's what

Hi all Hi,I'm facing a strange issue where by SANGOMA not detected by goautodial system , Thats the problem : Configuring ISDN BRI cards [A500/B700] ------------------------------------ No Sangoma ISDN BRI cards detected Press any key to continue: ------------------------------------ Configuring GSM cards [W400] ------------------------------------ No Sangoma GSM cards detected

Hi all, I've done this a few times with other PBX's but swyx has stumped me! I'm having some trouble getting Asterisk connected to a Swyx system using a sangoma A104dx... currently the setup is: BT <-> Swyx The above setup works fine... what i'm trying to achieve is BT & SIP Trunks <-> Asterisk <-> Swyx I have connected to our BT (2 x ISDN30 UK) with

Hey all, It such a shame that BRI technology is such a flop in the USA. For a small office such as mine it would be a great product. So her goes my question.... What is a known asterisk working BRI card that will operate in the USA. I need to weigh price/quality. I need to do DID/DDI (or what ever you want to call it). Asterisk will do everything else I need. The ILEC has at the other

Hi- Because a majority of my customers are in Europe, I've gotten quite used to working with ISDN (PRI) and BRI on a regular basis. Recently one of my customers asked me if I could terminate a few lines locally here in the USA (California), so I called up SBC to enquire as to how much it would cost to install a BRI here. Although the rates were reasonable (except the installation), I got
