Asterisk all by itself doesn't know anything about rates/costs or charges. It DOES know how to process calls and generate call records. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
[asterisk-biz] religious arguments and billing systems
Folks, I've been a Linux systems professional since 1993. I've been a telecommunications professional since 1980; a veteran of Western Union and MCI. I've worked with just about every major Linux distribution and many non Linux *IX platforms. I have made very specific engineering decisions for my systems as a result of my experience. In all those years one refrain I've heard from as a dull drum beat from developers is that if you pay me, you can complain/ask for extras. Well, I find myself in the position of both being able and willing to pay for support... Only to find that the developers now want to only support if they can re-engineer my systems. I even had one vendor collect money for three months before telling he was unsure if or when he would be able to support me, but if I was willing to pay extra for development, it might accelerate what I needed. Needless to say, I declined the extortion and got my money back. I'm not asking for asterisk or billing on windows. I'm not willing to put in windows... Nor am I willing to put in Debian or Ubuntu. I place all three in the same class... the toy of the day. I won't debate this but I will discuss it off list if you're so inclined. I have a working Asterisk system. it IS generating revenue. I need to be able for my non-technical staff to be able to operate and provision it. I have installed a2billing and approached it's commercial entity for training only to have my request avoided. I mention them by name only because this venue gave them such a high recommendation only to disappoint me again. So, now I ask... Is there any vendor that is willing and competent to provide support for a fee without trying to re-engineer my system?Do notice, I said for a fee. Not free. I am pursuing this line of inquiry as well as others. BTW, no, I will not be putting in freeswitch, SER or other similar solutions at this time. I have a very specific task that needs accomplished and am willing to pay a reasonable amount to get there. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
Re: [asterisk-biz] religious arguments and billing systems
The short for what I need is the following 1.) CDR rating/invoicing 1a.) profitability reporting # someone told me I needed LCR for this. I want reporting on what calls are costing me, not route changes. 1b.) Call cutoff on low balance 2.) Not currently necessary, but something I am thinking about is SIP endpoint provisioning (hardphone) integrated into the items above. I need the functions integrated into my existing asterisk dial plan, which is maybe 30 lines. I use asterisk realtime to maintain as much of my asterisk configuration as possible with the idea in mind that will allow me to grow the system without managing a lot of files on multiple systems. That said, I am just one server at this point and bottle necked in call rating/invoicing/account balance cutoff. I was told it was possible with a2billing but I don't see a clear document on how a2billing works so I don't quickly see how to hook it in. Bruce Ferrell - President Ferrell Systems Engineering, Inc.

Re: [asterisk-biz] Re: Linksys SPA400

In the spirit the open source your project could not have gotten off the ground without the efforts it took build Asterisk. Take your hard work, release it under GPL, and you will benefit from those who look to implement it. Or, go the route you are asking and it may rot since the marketplace of someone buying it just to remarket it will be small.

Re: [Asterisk-biz] Modem Over IP: solutions ?
depending on the alarm datalink speed, you should be able to use G711 on just about any ATA or IAD type device. PSK modulations will be more suseptable to jitter. Usually alarm circuits are FSK under 1200 BPS so they should make it fine. Jean-Michel Hiver wrote: Hi, I have a potential client who has legacy alarm systems which use modems to transmit encoded data to a remote location through the PSTN. They wish to replace the 'PSTN' bit with an IP link. I am aware that it would be best if the data was transmitted directly over IP rather than modulated and then sent on the internet, but that is not possible because of the legacy equipment. I was wondering if there was some specialized ATAs of some kind that would do TDMoIP and which could be used for this purpose? Link latency is about 300ms with no more than 10ms jitter.
