[Asterisk-Users] ISDN BRI with National (north america) Signalling
Anyone actually got this working with asterisk ? I have read posts that it is possible with capi and the diva server cards. Regular diva and diva pro both claim to support NI-1 and NI-2 and CAPI - will they work as well ? Has anyone actually got it working ? Forget the should and could part, I only care about the does/doesn't and why. If you have it working, please tell me - telco, signalling type, and hardware model, and how configured in asterisk. Also for any ISDN gurus out there - is there a simple way to loop back BRI so I can call from one B to the other for testing with the proper signalling for National to see if asterisk actually works without committing to ordering a line that will be useless if it does not work.

While I'm not an ISDN guru, a google for ISDN loopback shows products in the $150 range that are designed for this. Most seem to be euro, but there are US products too.

Looking through the Verizon tariffs, it seems as conversion from POTS to BRI is supported and reasonably affordable. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Anyone actually got this working with asterisk ? Yupbut it was a year ago, so I've forgotten the specifics. I have read posts that it is possible with capi and the diva server cards. Regular diva and diva pro both claim to support NI-1 and NI-2 and CAPI - will they work as well ? I used CAPI plus a single port Diva server card. The passive cards don't have the required Linux CAPI support from my understanding. If you have it working, please tell me - telco, signalling type, and hardware model, and how configured in asterisk. This was with BellSouth, NI-1 w/ the EZ1 package. We tried to switch to EKTS, but that futzed it up. I used the drivers from http://www.melware.net/ There is also firmware, I can't recall if I got it from them or not. Also for any ISDN gurus out there - is there a simple way to loop back BRI Not really, you'd need master/network mode support. That is currently available only on the passive EuroISDN cards. kapejod has it on his list, but as a lower priority. For what's it worth, it ISDN worked great. I'm sure it's only gotten better over the past year. It's a great voice service when you just want a couple channels. Now if only US telcos weren't so dumb about it...they just want to sell you DSL since ISDN is such a slow data connection..g --Justin ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Actually, here in Maryland ISDN BRI is cheaper than POTS. POTS business lines are like $20 each, and caller-id is around $8.50 per line. So two lines with caller-id are about $57. On the other hand, a BRI, which has awesome voice quality and includes CLID is $45. If you get a residential ISDN line they can be as cheap as ~$30. And I agree with whomever said that Verizon doesn't quite get it. Whenever I call about an ISDN line they try really hard to steer me towards DSL. Although if you get to the right business unit they're a little better. Years ago I had a bunch of ATT 7506 phones on a BRI with CO-based custom ISDN centrex. It was like having my own $20M switch. Of course convincing them that they *could* do this, and that it was a tariffed service was difficult. There were times I had to fax them copies of the relevant ISDN tariff and pages from the 5ESS provisioning guide. ISDN can be very, very cool. The Europeans have figured this out, but the US telcos are just waiting to be put out of their misery. Hopefully VoIP will do it. -brian Walt Reed wrote: On Wed, Jun 09, 2004 at 11:24:11AM -0400, Jon Pounder said: Also for any ISDN gurus out there - is there a simple way to loop back BRI so I can call from one B to the other for testing with the proper signalling for National to see if asterisk actually works without committing to ordering a line that will be useless if it does not work.

Regular diva and diva pro both claim to support NI-1 and NI-2 and CAPI - will they work as well ? I used CAPI plus a single port Diva server card. The passive cards don't have the required Linux CAPI support from my understanding. From my read over the eicon site the basic difference is the Server card is more heavy on dsp stuff - similar to what they call diva pro on the client side (same card maybe ?) Now why for asterisk do we care about a dsp on a digital line ? I don't get it. Do we not want the digital data from a digital line (after simply running through a modem to pull the line format into a bitstream) input directly into asterisk like a serial port ? We don't care about wav data or reconstructing audio, since we only want to send it on to other stuff digitally anyway - right ? Or have I missed something obvious here ? In fact the regular diva card is noted as having linux support and pro does not have it listed - go figure ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
