No. A channel bank's output is all analog. not true, it depends what sort of cards the channel bank has in it. ISDN cards are available for many channel banks out there. I am not familiar with that particular one, but it depends not only on the channel bank, but what cards are populated in it. Some of the lower end channel banks do not support cards and come in a fixed configuration. For what it's worth, there is a dual UBR1TE (U-interface ISDN) card for the ADTRAN TSU600. I have no idea about compatability with Asterisk, but it appears to be standards-based.

[Asterisk-Users] will this machine handle it
Hi folks, Right now I'm running * along with a lot of other apps on my firewall box, which is a P-II 400 with 192MB of RAM. I have a single T100P card connected to a channel bank that's using one FXO and two FXS ports. I want to move * off to another computer (mostly because I think the other apps on the current box are causing enough of a load to affect the sound quality a bit). I'm looking for a computer to put it on, and I've found someone with a P-II 350 with 64MB of RAM (I could steal another 64MB from the firewall if I have to). So, I need an opinion from some more experienced users. Given the same number of ports and assuming I don't run any other apps on the box, is that P-II 350 beefy enough to handle my * setup comfortably? Thanks, Jeff ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] will this machine handle it
Good points. This system currently does not use any SIP or IAX channels (or any other form of VoIP) and only deals with 1 call at a time (the single FXO channel is the only link to the outside). At some point, I may add an IAX link to a friend's * box, but I really don't see this setup ever having to deal with more than 2 concurrent calls (one over IAX, possibly with GSM, the other using just the Zaptel channels with no compression at all). Oh...and voicemail uses GSM, of course. The current sound quality is pretty good, but what I do hear are tiny little "hiccups" during GSM playback in voicemail. Again, I suspect what I'm hearing is the effect of the load on box spiking due to other processes. Does that sound reasonable? Maybe that extra level of detail can help some folks form opinions about required CPU horsepower. --On Wednesday, April 02, 2003 6:43 AM + "WipeOut ." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Jeff.. What you are asking is a little bit of a grey area because there are a number of factors that will affect how well you system will perform.. things like the average number of concurrent calls?, are you using VoIP?, what codecs are you using for the SIP of IAX channels? and no doubt a few others.. But here is my experience.. I am using a PII-400 and with 2 concurrent VoIP calls using G.711 codec the processor barely registers anything.. So I should thing that this system should handle 10-15 concurrent calls... If I used the GSM codec for example I an sure this number would drop significantly.. Hope that helps..

> a) do you have a preemtive kernel and low-latency scheduling I'm running a stock 2.4.20 kernel. You could call this my "production" box, so I'm hesitant to run development/customized kernels on it. If I'm able to split * out onto its own box, I will be much more willing to try optimizations like this (I'm thinking about using Gentoo so I can compile the entire system from the ground up with optimizations). Do you have a suggestion for a good kernel version to use for this? > b) have you tried (temporarily) removing any apps that may load the system > and still seen if the hiccups or other such symptoms are present Since this box provides so many services to me, it's inconvenient to strip it down like that, so I have not tried it yet.

I do know that the wct1xxp module itself seems to create a load that shows up in "top" as a system percentage of anything from next to 0% to occasional spikes of about 20%.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Strange Issue with connected TA 750
The firmware (and anything else on the BCU) should have nothing to do with this. The various tip and ring pairs go from the FXO/FXS cards directly out to the amphenol connector on the back of the bank (they don't pass through the BCU). If some of those lines are crossed up in the way you describe, it almost has to be either the PC board inside the TA750 chassis, the amphenol connectors, the cable, or the equipment connected to the cable (the block). You say you connected to the contacts on the cable. Was the cable connected to anything else besides the TA750? If it's still connected to the block, then it's still possible that the block is crossing up the pairs. If it's disconnected from the block and you still see the problem, try another cable (still not connected to the block). That will help rule out the cable and its associated connector. If the second cable still shows the problem, then it pretty much looks like it's a problem inside the TA750 chassis. If you bought the TA750 new, it's covered under a 10 year warranty and free telephone tech support. Call 888-4ADTRAN between 7AM and 7PM US central time Monday-Friday, and they should be able to help you figure out what's going on. Even if you bought the bank used, you may be able to get support (you just don't have warranty coverage). --On Friday, May 30, 2003 9:34 AM -0400 "Bisker, Scott (7805)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Okay, I upgraded the firmware to the newest release, and connected alligator clips to the contacts on my cable.

The only extension that works properly is extension Zap 2. Every other extension is crossed with Zap 2. Very weird. Anyone see this before? Did I get a bum BCU? Also, when performing a ring test from the admin port of the 750, the same behavior is present. Any ideas on this one? Thanks in advance.
