[Asterisk-Users] Problems dialing out with T100P and Adtran

2004-08-27 Thread Shawn Parker
I have a T100P card connected to an Adtran and then a T1.
I have added the following configurations to Asterisk...but, when I dial 
9 and then a local phone number, it bounces between the dial tone and 
silence and the *error* light on the Adtran blinks.

I am using Grandstream BT101 phones, plugged into my LAN.  I can dial 
extension/phone to extension/phone in the office just fine.  But, when I 
dial *9* to get out, nothing happens.  I don't get the dial tone back 
after I dial 9, and if I dial 9 and the number and send the call...the 
server runs through what looks like a connection to a Zap channel...I 
don't get any noticable erros...but the call never makes it out.  Once, 
I dialed the number again, while the Adtran was flashing erros and the 
dial tone was going in and out and it rang my cell phone...but then 
immediately hung up and closed out the call?

I'm new to Asterisk...any help or insight would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

Nevermind.  I was a digit off in my zaptel.conf...
the span for my adtran settings is 1,1,0,esf,b8zs instead of the one i 
have listed below.

ph...one digit off.

[Asterisk-Users] Help with a fax via Grandstream Handytone 286?

2004-08-27 Thread Shawn Parker
I have an analog Fax machine which I wish to connect to the network and 
the Asterisk server.  It will connect through a GS Handytone 286 
converter and then into the LAN.  Is there any information out there on 
what I need to write in *sip.conf* and/or *extensions.conf* to make sure 
the fax works as a fax?

Channel 8 on my T1 is a reserved, dedicated line for the fax number.  Do 
I need to create a special group in *zapata.conf* for the fax, or I can 
just have the fax extension dial only channel 8?  I assume the latter, 
but I don't know if it will actually work.

So far, I've managed to get the system up and running and working with 
the phones.  But my limited knowledge is making it difficult to 
configure more advanced features.  I have re-read the wiki numerous 
times trying to figure things out...sometimes it helps and sometimes it 
doesn't.

Cheers,

[Asterisk-Users] Linux keeps deleting the ZAP files??

2004-08-26 Thread Shawn Parker
Everytime I reboot my server, the /dev/zap/* files get removed?  Why is 
this happening?  I have to recompile Zaptel everytime I reboot!!

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Install on Kernel 2.6.x

2004-08-23 Thread Shawn Parker
i know asterisk itself will install on a linux kernel 2.6.x, but i've 
seen places say that the zaptel drivers wont?  is this still true?  is 
it possible to build asterisk/zaptel on a linux 2.6.x kernel?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] What is the best Linux for asterisk

2004-08-16 Thread Shawn Parker
Although I haven't tried it for Asterisk yet, I use Archlinux 
(http://archlinux.org/) in my production environments.  It's similar to 
Gentoo.  It as a minute disk footprint, most popular software packages 
are available via it's *pacman* package manager, and you can get it in 
2.4 or 2.6 kernel flavors.  The Server I am building currently for 
Asterisk will run the latest build of Archlinux.  I'll report back any 
major issues I may have with it...although I don't expect any.  If it 
runs on Gentoo or Debian, then it will [normally] run on Archlinux.

I gave up on commercial distro's like Red Hat, SuSe and Mandrake long ago.

who can ssh to you and build it for you, ( i have built many kernels
like that )

When deciding on Linux you decide which kernel to use. Linux IS the

That's where distros vary. In a biz environment you won't probably won't
use a GUI. At home (less users) you may want it as a dual function
server/ end user pc. So for a most reliable system find the most
reliable kernel version. Also, the most reliable version of asterisk
would be a more appropriate queston. To sum, there is no magic asterisk
linux distro. All have the requisite components at their disposal ( well
don't use linspire since they run as root for that ease of use/ hack).

Therefore I got two more or like identical systems.

At both systems I have problems with installing Linux.
I tried Redhat 9.0 but there the systems has badblocks all the time on
the ext3 partitions and segmentation errors
After that I tried Suse 9.1 and there the system is working perfect
only when I compile Asterisk I get compile errors all the time with a
warning internal error. I tested the partitions and the memory there
is no problem.

Can somebody help me out how to get a stabile system?

[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 79xx series IP phones

2004-08-13 Thread Shawn Parker
I got a call from our Cisco rep today saying that they couldn't sell 
just phones to anyone because if my ethernet isn't to exact spec... 
then they won't work at all.  I've read over the Wiki documentation and 
it seems that the 79xx series phones work with Asterisk.  They told me 
that without a Cisco phone system in place or a Cisco router or switch, 
then the ethernet wouldn't work with the phones.  Is this true, or is it 
someone just trying to sell me a Cisco system?

I don't see how my use of a Planet or Netgear switch would alter the 
spec of my ethernet to cause a IP phone to fail.  Seems far fetched to 
me.  I've never had any other problems mixing Cisco equipment with other 
product lines.

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience to give me dealing with 
Cisco 7902G and 7905G IP phones and getting them to work on a lan with 
Asterisk when *not* using other Cisco hardware?

Cheers,
Shawn

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 79xx series IP phones

2004-08-13 Thread Shawn Parker
Thanks for the responses, everyone.
One problem a colleague and I discussed moments ago is the system may 
preform better if we're using a Layer 3 switch.  Which I would like 
anyway, but isn't very cost effective for an office with 10 phones and 5 
workstations.  A L3 switch would be almost half, if not more, the total 
cost of the project build.  I guess it also depends on the amount of 
traffic and calls made from the office.  But, other than the 4 sales 
people, I don't imagine the office having a high volume of traffic in 
and out.  It is a small publishing house not a call center or support 
company.  The most they use the phone system for, other than selling 
ads, is talking to each other and calling writers.

Cheers,

The sales guy is just trying to sell you more Cisco hardware. I have
7910s, 7940s and 7960s at my house all running just fine on a Linksys
24-port fast ethernet switch with zero problems.

Layer-3 switching won't add any value unless your network is rather
large and you already have a need to segment it into broadcast domains.
I do a fair amount of professional network performance work and we've
actually been involved with a flat (layer-2 only) switched network 
that has over 900 active non-voip devices. Adding a couple of voip 
devices (for testing only) into the mix resulted in excellent quality. 
But, all of that depends upon how well managed the network is in the 
first place.

[Asterisk-Users] New office hardware set up question.

2004-08-12 Thread Shawn Parker
Pardon the newb question and all, but this is my first real experience 
with phone systems, let alone VoIP and Asterisk.

I'm building an office space for a former employer and we are 
considering Asterisk as the phone system there.  But, I've never set up 
an Asterisk system before so I've got a couple of questions about the 
required hardware.

The network architecture is pretty simple, we have an incoming T1 (into 
an adtran box).  There is a 24-Port switch and a 24-Port patch panel for 
the network.  The office needs 10 phones and they have 5 workstations.  
I was looking at building a server with a WCT100P card and using 
Asterisk on it, and using Cisco 7905G IP phones.  Now, my question is 
this, do I need anything else for this set up to work?  The IP phones 
plug into the lan like everything else, each has it's own IP address and 
appears on the network.  If I run a T1 line into the T100P card how does 
incoming and outgoing calls work?  The T1 can be broken up into as many 
voice/data channels as needed, and the company has existing phone and 
fax numbers.

I'm a network guy, not a phone guy.  Is there any other piece of 
hardware I need between the PBX and the T1?  Or anything else I'm 
leaving out that makes the phones work with Asterisk?
