 It's a fairly common issue, and unfortunately, there isn't a best

 prior job they zip tied the cables down to the connectors and this
 fairly reliable.

At least on my MX2800s there is a loop for a zip tie on the back on the
left on the amphenol connector. If you connect them so the cable comes
out the left side, it's pretty easy to secure them on the right side
with a screw and on the left side with the zip tie. I think mine even
came with little 4 zip ties that did the trick without looking ugly.

If you have them connected the other way around (e.g. screw on the left,
cable on the right), make sure you take out the connector for DC too, as
these will stop the connector from being in securely. No zip tie on that
side though.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Clustering

2006-03-11 Thread David Coulson



From what I can find online, OSPF seems to be a technology or method,
not necessarily a program.  What are you using to perform OSPF?


OSPF is a routing protocol. Quagga (quagga.net) is a good open source 
implementation of OSPF for Unix.

 Is it possible to route a call from an Asterisk box through the
 Internet to a IAX device (in this case Digium IAXy) without

 local Ethernet LAN so it should be possible to use VPN to
 cross the internet. Anyone using VPN or other method to
 acomplish this?

Yes. I do IAX2 to IAX2 all the time using either IPSec or GRE (Usually
both).

Re: [Asterisk-Users] MCI vs. XO/Allegiance

 Anyone out there using ISDN PRI from either MCI or XO/Allegiance? 

We have a DS-3 full of PRI from X/O. They work great, mostly, but their
tech support sucks. They screw up number ports all the time and about
every week there is some local number I can't dial to via XO which once
I open a ticket mysteriously gets fixed without a good explanation.
Eventually everything works, but you have to beat on them continously to
get things done.

Better than dealing with SBC though.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Should I choose DSL @ 1.5 or a full T1?

Nir Simionovich wrote:
  Now, E1 and T1 lines are based upon a channel based connection, which
 means you get a line
 with X number of data lines and a single control/signalling line. On T1
 it means that you have 23
 lines dedicated for Voice/Data (each is 64kbps) and a single signaling
 line (64kbps). 

A T1 has no seperate signaling line - You're thinking of PRI. T1 gives
you 24 DS0 (64kbit) channels, which you can do whatever you want with.
PRI just shanks off one channel for D channel signaling.

 Not really true about T1 description. When you apply for T1, you need tell
 vendor if it's channelized or non-ch. If you are going to use it for 1.5M
 network, you need use unchannelized T1. 

T1 is T1. How you use the DS0s delivered across it is up to you. You can
mux them out to POTS lines, use them all for data or mix it up and run
voice and data over the same T1. Telco vendors don't care what you do
with it, unless it's terminating for data/voice in their equipment.

Even when you use all 24 channels for data, they still function as 24
distinct DS0 channels as far as timing is concerned. Unlike OC-nc
circuits (Where you save some overhead for the sake of being unable to
channelize the STS channels) , there is no overhead variation when
channelizing a DS-1 versus using a full DS-1 for data.

[Asterisk-Users] * and Cisco 7910

2003-12-18 Thread David Coulson
I've looked on Google, but I get mixed results. I understand the 7910 
does not support SIP, instead using SCCM, but does it work reliably with 
Asterisk? Is there a specific firmware revision for the device that 
makes it work?

If anyone has this phone working with Asterisk, I would be interested to 
learn about the configuration.

[Asterisk-Users] Incoming IAX2 problems with NuFone

2003-12-07 Thread David Coulson
I've been using NuFone with Asterisk for a while, but I've started 
seeing this error with incoming calls:

NOTICE[114696]: File chan_iax2.c, Line 4581 (socket_read): Rejected 
connect attempt from 216.234.116.189, requested/capability 0x4/0x4 
incompatible  with our capability 0xff03.

Outgoing works just fine, but I can't get incoming to work at all. Any 
ideas? I googled for the error, but I couldn't find anything.
