[Asterisk-Users] Covad anyone ...
Has anyone done any integration work with Covad's hosted solution ? I am considering Covad's hosted solution and want to be able to use Asterisk to develop some other apps. Anyone else tried this ? how did Covad react. I know they use MGCP. Another thing, the Cisco reseller rep tells me if I have a bunch of 7960's setup for MGCP (for use with Covad) I will need to get these phone hooked up to a Call Manager system to get them to load a SIP image for the first time. That doesn't fit with anything I have been reading from Cisco and other places. Any truth to that ?

Its a little different then 7960's with other firmware installed. Since the menues on an mgcp 7960 are totally locked, I had to use a sniffer to detect what IP address the phone was trying to load from, re-IP a linux box to have that IP address, and then follow the instructions on the wiki. It upgraded just fine. If you don't have access to anything that would sniff the packets from the phone (to identify the IP address its trying to load from), it will be very difficult to upgrade it. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I have a detailed procedure on migrating from locked MGCP state to SIP, if you get really stuck email me and I will dig it up.

That doesn't fit with anything I have been reading from Cisco and other places. Any truth to that ? I'm really surprised that they use MGCP. Since they're very close to Cisco I would've expected SCCP. FWIW, Speakeasy resells a lot of Covad services. Their hosted offering is a little different in that they also offer a low cost solution for home office workers. This is based on their OneLink dedicated loop DSL. Covad's offerings are all based upon full/fractional T-1 and so don't scale down well. Michael -- Michael Graves [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sr. Product Specialist www.pixelpower.com Pixel Power Inc.
