RE: [Asterisk-Users] Wireless LANs and Asterisk
We are a wireless ISP running Asterisk as an IVR in our office. Our office is connected via wireless to our Internet gateway some 4 miles away. I have had 4 calls going at once without and static or dropped packets. We have deployed normal VoIP services to our customers that are a minimum of 2 wireless hops away from the gateway with little or no problems. Wireless bridges should not interfere with each other as long as they can hear each other. --- Kelly D Griffin Network Engineer Tantella Wireless http://tantella.com 800.636.0306 Voice 479.464.8998 Fax -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Meyer Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 12:39 PM To: Asterisk Users Group Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Wireless LANs and Asterisk Has anyone had any experience with wireless LANs and Asterisk? We have and here are my impressions. We configured an Asterisk in the office as a precaution to see how it would work for our own retail customers. Our office is open space, about 800 sq ft. (20x40 area). We use Snom200 and Grandstream SIP phones. Using the latest Linksys wireless access point (WAP54g) and 3 wireless bridges (WET54g), I have found that it works most of the time with WPA encryption on, but will occasionally drop voice (loosing packets). With no encryption on the WLAN it seems to work without a hitch! Using a less CPU intense encryption such as 64bit WEP, things also work fine. There must be too much delay with higher rate encryption. Also we had one bridge that seemed to be a week puppy in the litter. It could only muster 60-70% signal strength. It seemed to have problems under all configurations. Finally we positioned it such that it too works well running WEP 64b. I wonder if having 3 wireless bridges in close proximity would have anything to do with the signal strength? I would doubt it though. Anyone else with other experiences to share regarding wireless LANs and encryption? I'd me interested to hear them.

You must have routes and trunks setup for this to work properly. If you enter 479-464-8998 and you do not have a route for 1 or 1479, then it does not know where to send the call.

[Asterisk-Users] Calling Card question
I am new to the list, so if this question is redundant, please point me in the right direction for reading. I want to setup some calling cards for fundraising. I have ASTCC installed and working, but I am wondering how things might work once in production. A customer calls an 800 number (sixTel) and then dials Mexico (voipjet). This all stays IP and doesn't tie up phone lines. I've done it and understand it. A customer calls in on PSTN and then calls Mexico (voipjet). My PSTN is tied up until they disconnect, right?
