And the delay is?

Setup 1 - TE410p in a Supermicro p4 2.8gHz 1u. Dialplan dial's the
conference server (Compaq 2x xeon 3.06 gHz 2u) using IAX.

Delay is 0.111 seconds.

Setup 2 - TE410p in the conference server.

Delay is 0.027 seconds.

It appears that IAX/network latency adds about 0.084 seconds of delay.

And the customer is still complaining !!!

Their existing system consisting of an Excel switch talking to an IVR
based on Dialogic 240's and Vendetta 128's.

The delay through the existing system is 0.012 seconds.

Thanks for the reply. I thought about a solution similar to yours, but
rejected it because of a lack of resources -- primarily access to an
oscilloscope.

What I described can all be done (by analogy) with audio software on a pc.


I came up with a cheaper and easier solution.

Radio Shack/Tandy sells a "Telephone Recording Control" (P/N 43-22BA,
US$25.99).

This little black box has an RJ11 jack, an RJ11 plug, an 1/8" mono plug,
and some sort of plug to control a tape recorder.

I connected the "TRCs" to 2 POTS phones and plugged the mono plugs into a
"mono to stereo adapter" (P/N 274-375, US$4.99). I plugged the adapter
into the line in jack on my laptop.

Using Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net), I can record both phones
as left and right.

I muted 1 phone to make sure I wasn't recording sound from its mic.

By tapping the other handset on the table, Audacity can measure the
interval between the 2 "pips."

I've never found problems with delay when only Zap channels are involved;

Personally, I don't think anybody would notice in a real conversation, but
you can notice it if you have a separate phone to each ear or if you
listen on one handset and tap the table with the other.

Get a dual channel oscilloscope, a audio signal generator, a small speaker
and a microphone. Set the generator to a frequency lower that the delay you
think you are hearing. Feed the signal to the speaker and one channel of
the scope (trigger of this signal), adjust the level so you can hear it.
Connect the microphone to the other scope's other channel and place the
microphone near the speaker. Adjust the gain on that channel so that you
can compare the 2 undelayed signals.

Now place the speaker near the mouth piece of one phone and the microphone
near the ear piece of other phone. Establish a call between these phones.

You should be able to measure the delay over that path on the scope!

Borrow the scope and signal generator and get the speaker and microphone
from Tandies (your local electronics store).
