[Asterisk-Users] quadBRI in bri_net mode - t3 timer expired

2006-06-29 Thread Sebastian Kayser
Hi all,

i successfully connected our old PBX to an asterisk server with a
junghanns quadBRI, the quadBRI ports running in bri_cpe_ptmp mode 
connected to the interal PBX ISDN ports.

Now i tried to turn it round as our PBX depends on it for some features
and changed one of the quadBRI ports to bri_net signalling and connected
it to one of the external PBX ISDN ports (how do you name that in telco
jargon?).

The card led goes green (indicates an ISDN link), but nothing happens
when i try to place a call from our PBX using the new connection (no
incoming call on the *-console). 

Instead qozap complains every few seconds

Jun 29 19:39:55 asterisk kernel: qozap: activating layer 1, span 3
Jun 29 19:39:58 asterisk kernel: qozap: t3 timer expired for span 3
Jun 29 19:39:58 asterisk kernel: qozap: not re-activating layer1 span 3
Jun 29 19:39:58 asterisk kernel: qozap: clearing alarms on span 3

What is it trying to tell me? My quadBRI doesn't do any powerfeeding, might
that be a problem?

Alright, i just had a look at their product lineup. It seems as not only
the A104d but also the low end of their E1 cards (i.e. A101) comes with
this onbard echo canceller (EDAC), right?

And in terms of quality? Does one of them perform noticable better than
the other.

Regarding echo cancel. Is there someone with hands-on experience
regarding the echo canceller performance of the Junghanns E1 cards
compared to for example the Sangoma ones?

They flood my asterisk log since some days and i can't relate the date
they started to a specific configuration change. I haven't yet noticed
any bad side-effects, but i tend to feel better without any WARNINGs
in my * log. 

I have already enabled "bri intense debug span 2", but i have to admit
that i am not able to recognize any valuable pattern not to mention any
sense at all :( (maybe that's because i am a systems administrator and
not a telco guy). 

At least there is some kind of BRI traffic each time such a message is
logged. The BRI debug can be found at 

http://skayser.de/mls/au/reject-bri-intense-debug.txt

Maybe some of you are more capable to interpret those cryptic BRI
messages.

The reload messages informed about the re-reading of indications.conf.
However, even restart doesn't change anything about the ringing
indication problem.

See my other reply for further debug information i have gathered.

I gave "brig debug span 1" a try and it led to the following obvious
difference (sorry for the long lines).

snom -> POTS telephone set:
1 < Message type: ALERTING (1)
1 < [1 181  011  891 ]
1 < Channel ID (len= 3) [ Ext: 1  IntID: Implicit, Other Spare: 0, Exclusive 
Dchan: 0
1 <ChanSel: B1 channel
1  ]
1 < [1 1e1  021  811  811 ]
1 < Progress Indicator (len= 4) [ Ext: 1  Coding: CCITT (ITU) standard (0) 0: 0 
  Location: Private network serving the local user (1)
1 <   Ext: 1  Progress Description: Call is not 
end-to-end ISDN; further call progress information may be available inband. (1) 
]

snom -> PSTN telephone:
1 < Message type: ALERTING (1)
1 < [1 181  011  891 ]
1 < Channel ID (len= 3) [ Ext: 1  IntID: Implicit, Other Spare: 0, Exclusive 
Dchan: 0
1 <ChanSel: B1 channel
1  ]
1 < [1 1e1  021  821  881 ]
1 < Progress Indicator (len= 4) [ Ext: 1  Coding: CCITT (ITU) standard (0) 0: 0 
  Location: Public network serving the local user (2)
1 <   Ext: 1  Progress Description: Inband 
information or appropriate pattern now available. (8) ]

So its:

Location: Private network serving the local user
Call is not end-to-end ISDN; 
further call progress information may be available inband.

which works vs.

Location: Public network serving the local user
Progress Description: Inband information or appropriate pattern 
now available.

which doesn't work. What's causing Asterisk to indicate ringing to the
caller in the first place but not in the second place? Is this regular
behaviour? Is there any way to also indicate ringing for snom -> PSTN
telephone calls?

I tried to narrow down the problem. My installation looks like this


PSTN <-- 3 x BRI --> POTS (NEC) <-- 3 x BRI --> Asterisk
  ^ ^ 
  | |
POTS telephone sets  snom SIP phones

With no options set in the Dial command, i.e. Dial(Zap/g2/,60),
the ringing behaviour is as follows.

- snom -> snom - OK
- snom -> POTS telephone set - OK
- snom -> PSTN - NOK

OK = ringing is signalled to the calling party as soon as Asterisk
indicates it on the console (... is ringing).

NOK = no ringing is signalled to the calling party _although_ Asterisk
indicates it on the console.

So although the Zap interface is used for both types of "external" calls
(snom -> POST, snom -> PSTN) the ringing indication to my snoms fails
for calls to the PSTN.

Any ideas on how to further debug / troubleshoot this behaviour?

Sure about that? My Asterisk installation lists it as a valid option.

"r" leads to the ringing being indicated right from the start. So if i
call my cellphone from a SIP-connected snom, ringing is indicated to me
immediately, whereas the cellphone starts to ring not until about 3-5
seconds later. =/

Thanks for the advice. indications.conf is now existent and Asterisk is
reloaded but the problem still persists.

[Asterisk-Users] Ringing indication not working as expected

2006-05-17 Thread Sebastian Kayser
Hi all,

are there any caveats regarding ringing indication with Asterisk?

I have got an asterisk installation with a quadBRI driven by BRIstuff.
Internal phones are various snoms (320 / 360) connected via SIP and
Idefisk softphones connected via IAX2. Outgoing calls are "routed"
through the Zap interfaces.

When i set up the action for an external extension as

Dial(Zap/g2/,60,R)

or

Dial(Zap/g2/,60)

and initiate an outgoing call, Asterisk tells me that the called party
is ringing (Zap/4-1 is ringing) but there is no ringing indicated to the
calling party. No matter whether the calling party is a snom hardphone
or an idefisk softphone.

Am i missing something?
