 Fine. Luckily, not all of us are in the US. Michiel and I can happily 
 toy around with cisco firmware :-)

You haven't been paying attention to world news recently, have you?  George,
John, Donald, and the rest of the gang think they can invade any country
anytime they want (see Afghanistan, Iraq).

[Asterisk-Users] Cisico ATA licence

2003-03-06 Thread Michiel Betel

I can buy a new ATA186 here, but it is sold with a 1-port user license UK,
for euro 192, but does that license stop me from using both ports?
I can't read the license agreement till I buy the thing, so I don't know
what i'm buying...

the license is needed only with cisco
callmanager. so you can ignore it and use
both ports with asterisk ;-)

Thats wrong according to the debates here and on the FWD mailing list.
The unit that Michiel was looking at contains software that connects to
the Cisco Call Manager, probably using skinney. What Michiel needs is
one with the SIP or H323  software load on it. The units with SIP or
H323 loaded on it usually have the license for both ports to use that
software.

Thanks!

Is there a safe way to identify (cisco secret part number or something)
what SIP loaded ATA to order, or should I call Cisco? I don't really trust
the mailorder company guys to sort it out for me as they probably don't
sell that many of these units and will probably go uh??? on me if I start
questioning

 Incorrect. The load that includes Skinny protocol also speaks MGCP, which 
 is perfectly useable with Asterisk. Besides, as I understand it Cisco won't 
 care that much if you load it up with the SIP/H323 stack either. But no-one 
 will confirm that officially ofcourse.

So to keep this from dragging out like the rest of the threads about
this have.

While they may not prosecute an individual for having loaded an
unlicensed stack on the hardware, it is unwise to suggest it in a
publicly available and archived list. Do remember here in the US we have
to now worry more about John Ashcroft than the company whose software we
use/abuse since John can bring charges on his own without the company.

Everything below is from Richard on the FWD mailing list. I quoted his
contribution only.

Let me have go at trying to help explain this..


There currently exists two (2) different ways someone can buy an
ata-186/ata-188 from Cisco.

Firstly, you can order product codes ATA186-I1 or ATA186-I2 or ATA188-I1
or
ATA188-I1 depending on which model you want and in addition to this you
MUST
order either SW-SMH-UL-ATA-1P (SIP/MGCP/H.323 license for ATA) or
SW-CCM-UL-ANA (Cisco CallManager license for ATA).  Note that with the
CallManager you need a license for EACH port that has a phone connected
to
the ATA which is connected to CallManager (ie if both ports talk to
callmanager then you need 2 licenses) whereas for the SIP/H.323/MGCP
code
you only need one license even if you use both ports.

Secondly, if you order product codes ATA186-I1-1P-CH1 or
ATA186-I2-1P-CH1 or
ATA188-I2-1P-CH1 or ATA188-I2-1P-CH1 then this has the license included
into
the price of the ata.  ie in this case you do NOT need to purchase a
separate SW-SMH-UL-ATA-1P or SW-CCM-UL-ANA license.  Once agin if you
use
both ports with CallManager you will then need to buy ONE (1) additional
SW-CCM-UL-ANA license.

On most online stores the reseller lists the manufacturers product code
so
just check which of the above two product codes you are ordering and you
will then know if you need to order a separate license or not.

Hope this helps,

Richard
