Go to ATT and ask for a BRI ISDN Line. Tell them that you want a system 
access with a number block.

that would be typically 54448[0-9]

where your extensions are from 0-9

I don't know what protocol the americans are using, as I know the americans 
made for sure their own thing which is known as the north american BRI 
protocoll. If they have replaced it with the euro isdn protocol, I don't know. 
Figure out in advance if the supplier, in this case Digium, Sangoma or Beronet 
support the north american protocol.

in Germany we use the EUROISDN protocol.

Here in Germany it is usual to have such lines, we don't use VoIP with DID. 
logicly it could be possible, but I never saw a provider.

By the ISDN is more secure. If ISP connections fall out, you are through your 
telephone lines still reachable.

Information: For BRI Isdn you might need a NT Unit where you would connect the 
isdn cable to your board.

 Hello members,
 
 I am looking for USA incoming DID which can be registered on

Re: [asterisk-users] [asterik-users] Installing PRI card

 Does the highlighted part mean that the card is setup in T1 mode. ??
 ( I do not have physical access to the server. But my support in the remote
 office says that card is in E1 mode itself.. )

Sit back, take a breath and relax, stop trying things at random.

First you have to figure out what signalling has to used on your PRI.
What country are you in? Who is the provider? Find out the switchtype
and siganalling used in zapata.conf and the spantype for zaptel.conf.
Also the B channels must match and offcourse the D channel must be set
correctly.

At the moment you are using typical T1 settings (24 channels, ESF/B8ZS)
but also say the thing is an E1 (30 channels (wheter or not you actually
get the max number of voicechannel), CCS,HDB3(,CRC4)).  T1 is the
default on Digium cards, so you might had to set the jumper differently,
but since you don't have physical access you need to use the correct
module option (t1e1override on dahdi, might differ on zaptel (see
modinfo)).

[asterisk-users] Converting dahdi_monitor unit to dbm0

2011-10-01 Thread Gustavo Santos
Hello,
I need to convert the dahdi_monitor output to dBm0, so I can measure Echo
Return Loss in dB.
I've read a formula that calculate S(k) in ITU-T G.168 recommendation, where
S(k) is the signal level in dBm0. Can I use this formula to convert it? If
yes, what value should I use to the number of samples if I want to convert a
single output from dahdi_monitor?

Thanks in advance,
Gustavo Santos.

I say only, that it is MONEYMAKING

ISDN is the best thing ever. Using the internet completly through VoIP
is wasting ressources and if the ISP connection falls for a time, the
line communication fall either.

I think if a state permits ordering isdn bri channels, then there is
only a thought behind to make more money for each lines that is being
ordered or to sell for high prices ISDN PRI channels, which is in my
view nothing else as a unfair isolation business policy.

Sorry, but SMB need to work efficient to grow with telephony without
falling in high expenses.

I spoke with a friend of mine in L.A. and in the US professional
telephony services are much more expensive as in Germany.

I still don't know why.

[asterisk-users] Make asterisk cluster appear and operate as a single server?

2011-10-01 Thread Tobias Steen
Hi, 

 

I'm trying to plan a system of clustered asterisk machines where a number of
SIP trunks will be hosted on the platform. Each trunk will be hosted for a
specific customer who owns it and therefore payment is handled directly
between the customers and their trunk-providers, each trunk will have about
50-200 simultaneous calls. 

 

No SIP phones will be directly connected to the platform, my thought is that
the asterisk machines should only receive incoming and make outgoing calls
through the trunks, and then connect the calls with each other. 

 

To make this scalable and have the option of running an infinite number of
sip-trunks, I need a good way to load-balance my asterisk servers and
implement failover support and also be able to add / replace the machines in
the cluster in a safe and reliable way. 

 

I'm have some experience building single asterisk solutions but I have never
worked with load balancing of multiple asterisk machines. 

 

Is it possible to configure all trunks on a single asterisk setup which is
then reflected over a cluster of asterisk machines? If I have a cluster of
machines, I guess I need some kind of front-end application / system? I will
then also need to be able to connect calls between the machines, the calls
to be connected with each other will always be incoming and outgoing on the
same trunk.

 

In other words, I want to create a large cluster of asterisk machines to
appear and operate as a single asterisk server. 

 

I've looked at projects like OpenSIP but it feels like this is not really
what I need? 

 

I really appreciate if someone can help me get on the correct path here, I
need all the feedback I can get.

 

 

Thanks in advance! 

 

 

Best regards 

Tobias

Re: [asterisk-users] Make asterisk cluster appear and operate as a single server?

2011-10-01 Thread Michelle Dupuis
If one server is supposed to carry the full load of the other during failure, 
then you have to size each server to handle  100% load - so load balancing is 
pointless.

Checkout haast at www.generationd.comhttp://www.generationd.com and read  the 
docs on how it does failover...certainly good for ideas.
