Field-upgradeable?  Does that mean that I can do it myself?  That would

Digium takes time.



The 2nd gen firmware has field-upgradeability. The 1st gen firmware does 
not, unfortunately. There is not currently any 3rd gen firmware, but 
when there is, you'll be able to do it yourself :-)


we've got a number of TE410P 1st gen firmware cards. could we send them in 
to digium for a firmware upgrade ? the cards were purchased in october 2004 
from atp in melbourne.

[Asterisk-Users] Processor Update?

2006-01-07 Thread Mike Hammett




I've been Googling around for some time now (a few 
hours on dial-up).  I find all kinds of questions similar to mine, but 
either there is no answer or the answer has nothing to do with the 
question.  Hopefully this post isn't another one of those.
 
Does Asterisk favor FPU performance or clock 
speed?  (Meaning AMD or Intel)
 
I see Asterisk can be compiled for x64 
systems.  Does it run any better\worse on x64 versus i386?
 
Dual-core CPU performance isn't as good as dual 
CPU's, but is more often than not a better deal as it's close, but a lot 
cheaper.  Dual-core vs. Dual CPU performance depends on the 
application.  How does Asterisk respond?
 
Looking to build out a system capable of 100 
concurrent calls (IP pass-through, so in effect 200).  Looking at the 
dimensioning, I can get some ideas, but few of them state the call 
quality.  I'm hoping to be able to use a single CPU that is dual core as 
the price to go to a dual CPU that is single core puts me at least 60% to a 
redundant server.
 
More information about the setup

No cards of any kind (Tyan board with integrated 
video, NIC, SATA nothing more needed)
some IAX2 trunks (ztdummy)
mainly SIP clients, but an increasing number of 
IAX2
mainly ulaw\alaw, if not solely (the transcoding 
chews CPU cycles needlessly)

I'm not sure if the fact that my boss is an open source advocate is a good thing or not... ie yes it's great to work with Asterisk and see all the features coming together (especially with Polycom phones). On the other hand I wonder how useful this experience will really be. I see a lot of VOIP jobs requiring Cisco experience.
The answer to your question probably depends on what type of "IT Guy" you are (nope, we're not all the same), and the nature of your career goals. If you are the kind of guy who will learn, from working with Asterisk, a good overall view of the technologies behind and issues with semi-traditional and IP telephony, in addition to developing a sense of how things work and how to get things done with telephony systems in general, then I think it will be valuable experience.
If you either aren't particularly interested in gaining a high-level overview of telephony systems, and/or if you are just not the kind of guy who will get that kind of a "big picture" by working with only one specific platform or system, then it may not be so valuable to you.
Even if the latter is true, I don't think that would make you any less-qualified or less-skilled as an IT worker; I have simply noticed that people in the field see things and learn about systems in totally different ways. Some learn more by focusing on the specifics of various systems or platforms one by one, and some learn by constructing and updating a conceptual framework that contains within it the specifics of whatever system (Asterisk, in this case, but may include Cisco, etc in your future) is being worked on.
If you learn things the former way, by focusing on a specific system at a time, your Asterisk experience will probably not be as valuable to you in terms of future jobs as would equivalent Cisco experience. But, if you tend to learn things in the latter way, your Asterisk experience is probably pretty much just as useful as if it were Cisco experience, or experience with any other vendor.
Also, if you want to work for a large, formal company that places a lot of importance on titles and buzzwords, your lack of specific, major-vendor experience may present a problem. On the other hand, if you want to work for an outfit that is perhaps less formal and more unconventional, your Asterisk experience could stand you in very good stead, since Asterisk is such a flexible system, and since experience with it may indicate that you are a flexible programmer/net/sysadmin :).
Anyway, those are my two cents on it. -Rusty
