[Asterisk-Users] How to use a data T-1?

2006-06-19 Thread Warren
I have a data T-1 available to me to do some testing of a new asterisk systemthat I am putting together. Do I just leave this T routed through my cisco router and plug in the asterisk system through a network card or do I need to get a T-1 card and use that? I looked on the voip-info wiki and it

Warren, My suggestion for testing would be just use ethernet hand off to the asterisk from the Cisco. You could bypass the Cisco but then you would need a T-1 card for the asterisk box and they are not cheap. I believe there are valid arguments for both choices though and ultimately should be

You don't need a T1 card for a data T1. Just run it through your Cisco box send it over to your NIC on the asterisk box. bp On 6/19/06, Warren [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a data T-1 available to me to do some testing of a new asterisksystemthat I am putting together.Do I just leave this T

John, Thanks for the quick reply. I do intend to get a T-1 card anyway. Would it be the same card for a data T-1 as for a voice T-1 just with different setup? W John Millican wrote: Warren, My suggestion for testing would be just use ethernet hand off to the asterisk from the Cisco. You

Depends on the codec. If you are using ulaw, you will only be able to have about 23 calls. If you use g729 you can have as many as 187 simultanious calls on a data T1. Remember, you have 1544Kbs of bandwidth. g279=8Kbs per call uLaw=64Kbs per call Just do the math. bp On 6/19/06, Warren [EMAIL

After all the overhead, for uLaw you would need about 90kbps (give or take) and for G.729, you would need about 32kbps (give or take). Therefore, you would have the following: uLaw= about 17 calls g729= about 48 calls I am trying to start a voip service in my local area and sometimes

I honestly do not see the big deal about using g729. It is a one-time fee and you would only need to buy as many licenses as you have people in ivr or voicemail if you have g729 phones. For a business this is not a major expense. You are talking about spending $100-$200 (max $480 for all 48

Well that is certainly all good news. The last hardware question I would then have is: What do you do for Echo Cancellation with this type of setup? Everyone keeps saying that the software EC basically sucks to put it bluntly. Is there some sort of hardware to do EC that can be used here? W
