Re: [asterisk-users] TCP port, VPN and resolving the cutting voice problem
I wouldn't bother with their hardware. You can run it on most servers providing the drivers for the hardware are supported. Just install it on a box with two NICs and put it between the router and your LAN, both static IPs, simple If I were you, I would find out what kind of DSL modem you have, but if it is doing NAT, DHCP, and all of that, you may be able to turn off everything except for the modem and use Vyatta for everything from NAT, DHCP, QoS, Squid, Firewall. In this case, one NIC would have your public IP, I suspect you would get it via DHCP or worst case, from your ISP, the second NIC is for the LAN, you can add more NICs for various purposes as well. I run Asterisk on Vyatta systems and it works great. No NAT issues with remote phones, QoS, and whatever else your imagination can come up with. I also install Webmin and NTOP. Just be aware that as soon as you activate the firewall, everything is blocked, so if you are going to use it as a firewall, get as many rules in place as you can think of.

[asterisk-users] HA8 cards and RED alarm
Hi, I have 2 servers: one is running 2 B410P cards with 8 euroisdn lines (mISDN) connected on it, everything runs fine. I prepare a new server - HP 360 G8- with 2 HA8 cards each of them 1 module of 4 lines. Already had with this machine an RMA on both cards as they was faulty and crashed the server. What happends is that when I connect cables on the HA8 modules (those cables are unpluged from working server and connected to the new one) nothing happend on the dahdi status, alarm is RED. Two days ago one cable changed his staus to YELLOW (?) and then became again RED. Below are relevant outputs. I created those config files with one of the previous card which worked a short time and it was OK. Could it be possible that modules have also to go for RMA? Thanks for any hint.

Re: [asterisk-users] TCP port, VPN and resolving the cutting voice problem
Dear Steve; I am fully thanks for your advise and kindly help. I am asking about the ability to use vyatte hardware DSL router because of the following reasons: 1) I am afraid to make Asterisk the gateway for the whole network and this might effect on the performance and might cause a big load, u do not think so? 2) If any problem happened regarding to the QoS rules or regarding to the firewall or any other thing and they decided to do hardware restart for the server (or the PC machine), then the Asterisk will be restarted and that will effect on the telephony service at the site? 3) I am afraid if we applied the QoS and bandwidth divsion at Vyatte, and then we route the traffic to the DSL router (which will do the NAT to ISP), then all the QoS rules will be ignored (or become not effected)? What do u think? Again, special thanks for the guide and special help. Regards Bilal - I wouldn't bother with their hardware.
