And quite a lot of you're spreading FUD No, you are etc. To all on this thread: Buying a hardware piece for voip (or for anything) is like looking for a spouse and soulmate. What will be your best choice may not be someone else's best choice. You have all had experience debugging, right? You know that every installation has a thousand variables, both hardware and software, both human and electro-mechanical. Common wisdom states that you shouldn't run several cards in one PC, yet I have 2 X100P and one TDM400P, all early generation cards in one PIII-800 box and they work fine. Even the zaptel diagnostics score well! Of course, we have a low call volume, one of the many variables. I am positive that no scientific measurement will allow you to make a choice based on charts and reading. I was at the Axis camera exhibitor stand a few days ago, and while I looked at the different cameras the person there said immediately, if your customers want to test drive any of these, let me know and we'll lend them one for a month. A good retailer of voip hardware would perhaps be able to do this for you. Alas, I'll bet few of them can in reality. The only way to see if hardware matches your needs and your very specific installation is to try it. That means you'd either have to have a budget to test stuff and hope to resell it, or find a reseller that is willing to let you try a particular unit before paying for it or return it for credit if it doesn't perfom as planned. I am sensitive to the argument that Digium should get first consideration for the reasons already mentioned, but if another choice has been proven significantly better, I don't think anyone at Digium would rather you used their stuff if it was going to perform in an inferior manner. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] DUNDi, regcontext, softphones.. fail.
I'm having an issue deploying softphones into my DUNDi/regcontext
setup. My current design is that all SIP users get registered into a
sipregistration context in the sip.conf. I then have a dialplan
function that includes that and does the dial:
include = sipregistration
exten = _,2,Answer()
exten = _,3,Wait(1)
exten = _,4,NoOp(sipregistration call - Name: ${CALLERID(name)} Num:
${CALLERID(num)})
exten = _,5,Macro(stdexten,${EXTEN},SIP/${EXTEN}) ; 913-563-77XX
This works really well for hard phones. They register, exist in the
sipregistration context and are dialed on whichever server they register
by DUNDi. I only started to run into problems when I had to deploy
softphones.
The softphones register when they are up and running, and the system
works as designed. But when they close their softphone, there's no way
for the system to know where the extension is, so the call dies. It
doesn't go to voicemail like I would like it to because that extension
never proceeds through my dialplan.
Looking for suggestions on getting around this so I can keep deploying
soft phones to agents in the field.
Just use an 'invalid' extension to send the call to voicemail or something.
exten = i,1,Voicemail(u${INVALID_EXTEN})

I haven't had a single problem on any of them, audio quality-wise or stabilty-wise. Some compatibility issues, but mostly stability issues. It started last year with a 6850(4 x dual-core Xeons) that I ran with a PCI Sangoma 8-port T1 card to do stress tests on. Two of the CPUs burned up after 5 weeks of stress tests. Then over the last year I have had three large clients that are Dell-only companies and they all had dozens of 2U 2950 servers. about half of them that I worked on(8 out of 16) handled the PCIexpress cards just fine, but some of them would randomly crash with PCIE errors. Didn't matter if it was Sangoma or Digium, they crashed just the same. I would take a card that was crashing one system and put it in one of the servers with no issues and it would be fine, and I would take a card from a working system and put it in the troubled servers and the problems would show up. There is also the problem with the Digium TE420 where if you put it into the PCIexpress x4 slot on the Dell 2950 that the machine will not even post, I never had that happen on any other system or motherboard. In the end, two of the companies switched to other server manufacturers for their Asterisk servers and all of these problems went away completely. The third company is sticking with Dell, and I have been going through Dell support and multiple on-site service calls to try to get these systems working.

For context, at home I've got a line from Vonage (last I heard, they won't give out SIP credentials and let you use random hardware/software), which comes out as an analog line with a dialtone, and I'll be treating that as if it were a regular PSTN connection. I also work from home, and my company runs an Asterisk server at the main office. When I signed on they gave me a cheap Grandstream desk phone to connect to the corporate Asterisk server from home with. I also have a really nice DECT6 cordless phone system set up with handsets all around the house, currently plugged into the Vonage line. What I'd like to do is set up an Asterisk box with 1x FXS (to the cordless phone base station) and 1x FXO (to the Vonage pseudo-PSTN-line), and also have it act as a SIP client to the office Asterisk system, and let the Grandstream be a client to my Asterisk, and configure it up so that both the Grandstream and the cordless system can be used to answer and dial from both my office and home lines. So we're talking a total of two extensions (one FXS, one SIP/ethernet deskphone device) and two connections to the outside world (one FXO pseudo-PSTN, and SIP to the office), and a maximum of two concurrent telephone calls going through the system. What I'm considering hardware-wise is a Soekris net5501 paired with a Digium TDM400P equipped with 1xFXO and 1xFXS (might add a second FXS later down the road). I'm a pretty well-versed linux hacker, so I'm not too worried about being able to get the software side up and running. What I'm really looking for is advice and info from people that have tried this (or similar) hardware setups on the following: 1) Does the Soekris case fit a TDM400P card inside of it? I don't mind if I have to get out the dremel to get the ports exposed, but does it fit inside at all? 2) With a net5501+TDM400P+1xFXS, if I use the Soekris 2.5A power supply, will I need the extra external 12V supply (the digium one) to supply power for the FXS module? Some things I read seem to indicate that you always need it, some don't...? Does anything change on this if/when I put in a second FXS port? 3) How much storage space do I really need to get one of the common embedded Asterisk distros on there, and also leave room for a good amount of voicemail, and room to hack with cool things in the dialplan, etc? Would you recommend a 2.5-in HDD, or can we fit this all in compactflash? I don't really have any ideas on estimating voicemail space consumption, or commonly fun things people do with modules and dialplans that might suck extra space down the road. 4) If as I suspect the 2.5in HDD is going to be a better bet space-wise, does this change anything about the power situation from question 2? Any info appreciated, -- Brandon ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] Help 60Hz Hum?
Hey guys, I am trying to diagnose a hum in my FXO lines I am using an Adtran 750 with 8 FXO ports. I am getting a pretty bad hum on the line during a call. I have checked the Telco side of the 66 block and there is no hum there so it's my problem to fix. I have tried to lower the gain but that reduces the call volume to much. Where else should I be looking? Setup as follows Dell PE1950 server Redfone Quad port fonebridge2 Asterisk 1.2.18 Zaptel 1.2.18 From redfone Adtran 750 Channel Bank with 8 FXO and 16 FXS Two PRI connections to fonebridge TIA Mark ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I'd drop Vonage, port your number to someone like Teliax and eliminate the voip to FXS to FXO conversion.

What I'm really looking for is advice and info from people that have tried this (or similar) hardware setups on the following: The net5501 would sufficiently support that load and then some. 1) Does the Soekris case fit a TDM400P card inside of it? I don't mind if I have to get out the dremel to get the ports exposed, but does it fit inside at all? Yes it will work fine. The case that comes with the net5501 will fit a half-length pci card. This is an improvement over the net4801 which would only support half-height/half-length cards. 2) With a net5501+TDM400P+1xFXS, if I use the Soekris 2.5A power supply, will I need the extra external 12V supply (the digium one) to supply power for the FXS module? Some things I read seem to indicate that you always need it, some don't...? Does anything change on this if/when I put in a second FXS port? With one fxs, you might be able to get away with it. You might look at the Soekris mailing list archives to see where you can pull some additional power if you need it. 3) How much storage space do I really need to get one of the common embedded Asterisk distros on there, and also leave room for a good amount of voicemail, and room to hack with cool things in the dialplan, etc?

I don't really have any ideas on estimating voicemail space consumption, or commonly fun things people do with modules and dialplans that might suck extra space down the road. Have a look at Astlinux. http://www.astlinux.org The standard install is less than 64MB so you could easily get by with a 256-512MB compact flash card. Works well. We'd be happy to answer questions specific to Astlinux on our mailing list (hosted off the sourceforge project page). Note that the net5501 platform was added recently in trunk. None of the images have been released yet, but several of us have been running releases from SVN for several months.

But guess what, it has only one competitive edge, it's cheaper. But if you want something that works use a channel bank. Although I have no experience with Xorcoms USB based channel banks, I have a feeling they work better than Digiums TDM24xx cards.

Just wanted to throw that out there before the discussion started :) It might well be, but try as I might, I can't find a channel bank that supports 12 FXO ports that would be less than an A400 with 6x2 FXO cards (£490 the first place I looked, with only software echo cancellation or £644 with HW-EC). Or as the above poster mentioned a Rhino card (would be much cheaper than sangoma if you required 24 ports and Hardware Echo cancellation). ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- Tony Mountifield Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://tony.mountifield.org ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] Using PHP to reload extensions
Mojo with Horan Company, LLC wrote: No, because then asterisk would be presented three arguments: '-rx', 'extensions', and 'reload' -- as 'extensions' is not a command by itself, and the 'reload' appears superfluous to asterisk, this would not work as desired. Asterisk needs to be presented two arguments - the first is '-rx', the second is extensions reload (needs additional quoting to contain the space) which is actually a parameter to the '-x' switch just used. $output = shell_exec(asterisk -rx 'extensions reload') is right. Generally, the difference between single quotes and double quotes is that with double quotes, PHP is allowed to make $variable substitution while with single quotes, it is not. Mojo Nice.
