Re: [asterisk-users] Some advice

2007-08-14 Thread William McCloskey 
The stability problems we have seem to be related to asterisk crashing
the apache install on the box when the PHP scripts are performing
functions via asterisk. Don't know exactly how they work it all, but
that's the gist of it.

Can you be more specific about the "stability problems"? That's a bit
vague -- it makes it hard to understand what's really happening.

[asterisk-users] Some advice

2007-08-14 Thread William McCloskey 
I need a quick bit of advice from the list.

We purchased an asterisk based phone system back about 6 months ago and
we are using Cisco 7940G phones (I know, not everyone's favorites). We
are using the second line on the phones for paging with a auto-answer,
now my question is having the system call 20 of these paging extensions,
should that be enough load to cause instability in the system? Our
vendor is claiming it is causing the problems we are having, and I
really find that hard to believe.

Thoughts? Should that be enough to cause major stability problems?

It's an Athlon 3800+ with 512mb ram and a Sangoma card with one PRI.
Total of about 60 extensions (40 phones) on the system but only about
2-4 active calls at any given time with very little transcoding or other
such intensive processes going on.

Thanks,
William

Re: [asterisk-users] Recognize 800 number

2007-08-14 Thread William McCloskey 
If your 800 number is setup in the same way I understand them to be, the
800 numbers are just forwards to a did (or your main number in the
instance). You'll need to get a specific did setup just for your 800
number to use then you can just recognize the specific DID.

Is there a way to recognize if someone called our PRI using an 800
number?  The DID is showing my 4 digit primary line, not anything
obvious signifying that an 800 number is called?

If it supports the old Cisco POE, you might be able to try this:

568b
1 OrWh
2 Or
3 GrWh
4 Bl
5 WhBl
6 Gr
7 BrWh
8 Br

Phone Side
1 OrWh
2 Or
3 GrWh
4 BrWh
5 Br
6 Gr
7 Bl
8 WhBl

(From voip-info.org wiki, Cisco POE)

That config has allowed me to run 7940g's on a standard Dell POE switch.

The IP 501 supports both Cisco and 802.11af with different cables. While

there are pin assignments differences, there are also electrical 
differences in the discovery protocols. The special cable is an artifact

of this.

I don't know of anyone who was able to make the phone work without the 
cable, and the 501 is not designed to work without it. If it were just a

matter of pin assignments, then people would be selling cables on eBay.

I notice that now that 802.11af is THE standard, Polycom is supporting 
it on their new phones without any special cables.

RE: [asterisk-users] Re: Recommendations for QoS, PoE Switches

2006-12-12 Thread William McCloskey 
Layer 2 switches support all the basic switching functionality. QoS,
SNMP, POE, VLANs, Etc... depending on the model and features. Layer 3
switches are essentialy basic routers with a switch built in.

One thing about Cisco CDP and a lot of POE switches is you can get CDP
support with a custom Ethernet cable, just swap pins 4-5 with 7-8 (This
is how I'm running Cisco 7940G's with a Dell POE Switch).

 Edgewater Networks markets a 24 port switch, with PoE (both Cisco CDP

for less than $1500.  The model is EC-2402POE-01
