[asterisk-users] Linking Asterisk with PBX through E1
Hello,
I linked an Asterisk server to a Brazilian PBX (Leucotron) through an E1
connection, using MFC/R2, that's common down here. The connection works
properly. I'm able both to dial and receive calls through that link,
among their extensions.
The problem is that the PBX configuration is very tough. Just a few
options in the GUI software and I cannot play with it in lower level.
That PBX has two E1 interfaces. One of them is connected to the PSTN and
the other to the Asterisk server. Both connections are working ok.
I need to make calls from the Asterisk server to the PSTN, i.e., coming
from an E1 and going through the other one. Here is my pain. That PBX
assumes that an E1 connection is always PSTN, so an E1 link doesn't
need to talk to each other. Zero flexibility.
The manufacturer support gave me a solution. Coming from Asterisk, I
can dial a special code, then I get a simulated dial tone, and then I
dial (through DTMF) the number I want. That's odd, but it works.
In my case, that code is . Since E1 is digital-signaled, the best to
do would be dialing just like I do between two Asterisks:
exten = _,1,Dial(Unicall/g1/${EXTEN})
But it doesn't work. The PBX just ignores the numbers after and
gives me a dial tone.
Another way would be dialing and then sending the number to dial
through DTMF tones, with something like this:
exten = _,1,Dial(Unicall/g1/|20|D(w${EXTEN}))
That would work, BUT a little detail broke my legs. The Dial
application only sends the DTMF tones after receiving the channel
answered signal from the E1 channel, and that PBX only sends that
signal when the remote party has answered the call, what's useful for
accounting purposes. So, when I dial something using the above dial
plan, Asterisk dials and I hear the dial tone. If I dial something
in my phone (DTMF), the PBX hears that and makes the call. When the
remote party answers the call, the Dial application releases the DTMF
tones.
Possible solutions:
1) Finding a way that Asterisk sends the DTMF tones immediately after
opening the channel, without waiting the answer signal.
2) Making the PBX works the way it should do, receiving all the numbers
in the digital channel and making the call without simulating any dial
tone.
I'm not hopeful that the manufacturer will be able to change the way the
PBX works, so I better keep looking for the first solution.
Any help is pretty welcome.
TIA

[Asterisk-Users] Intergrate Asterisk IP PBX with Legacy PBX, continuing existing funtionality of legacy pbx
Hi All, I would like to explain the layout that i am trying to achive. I am so helpless on this regard. So here is the story This is with regard to the setup which you can find at the Asterisk The Future of Telephony , chapter 11, page # 196-197, I am attaching the picture for your information. Now I am taking a challenging step to of integrate IP PBX with our Conventional PABX system. *Existing Setup over view* Our existing includes traditional Pabx, E1 Line from telecom provider, 16 direct lines another telecom provider. there are around 120 extensions. E1 Link using for DID and 16 lines using for as hunting group. *New Integration.* Integrate asterisk ip PBX with legacy Pabx which continues functionality of the existing setup I am planning to install 2 E1 cards in Asterisk box. Remove E1 link from legacy Pabx and fix it to 1 E1 card and other E1 card will using to connect traditional PABX. All previous DID's which configured with the traditional PABX will be configured in asterisk. Actually I am not sure that i will be able to achive this migration , but i am trying to acomplish. It is very much appreciate that if anyone can guide me on this regard. Thanks Regards, Vidura Senadeera.

[Asterisk-Users] Is Asterisk a PBX?
Hi everybody, This question is confusing me for some time. From selling point of view to a customer, calling asterisk a PBX doesn't look right. According to the definitions of PBX or PABX, Asterisk is not just PBX but much more than that. My question is, how should I introduce Asterisk to a customer? I don't want to call it a PBX.

Can't call it just a PBX and it's certainly more than a VoIP server. You can't even call it a voice communications server because it does more than that! Is it a Communications Server, or maybe a telecom/datacom server? I can see it now, yet more acronyms! How about this: Asterisk is an AVCS/DCS (kinda like CSU/DSU): Audio/Video Communications Server/Data Communications Server? We could have lots of fun with this one... :) -MC ___ --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
RE: [Asterisk-Users] Is Asterisk a PBX?
Yes, it is a PBX. It is also a softswitch. It is also a VoIP or PSTN proxy. It is also a messaging application platform. A fax server. An SMS relay point. etc. It is all of this, and more. Taken as a whole, Asterisk is greater than the sum of it's parts. This also makes it impossible to pigeonhole Asterisk into a specific category, since it does so many different things. How you present it to people, IMO, depends on what they want to hear. Typical PHB's do not understand the difference between PBX or Messaging platform, so it's up to you to present it in a manner in which they can digest. This is going to vary depending upon the needs of the prospective adopter. You will only confuse the hell out of them by saying Yes, but it does THIS thing and THAT thing as well. If the prospective adopter asks: Will it REPLACE my PBX? say Yes - no more. If they ask: Can I fax with it? say Yes - no more. Your answer will be YES for 90% of the questions you will get, and then let them formulate their own conclusions. Of course, for guys who already know the score and aren't PHB's, you can blurt out everything that Asterisk does and once they finish crapping their pants, they will ask you to implement it. -Original Message- From: Zach A [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 24, 2006 1:02 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Is Asterisk a PBX?

Thanks Zach A. Think of it like the chassis that you can buy if you are building specialty vehicles. You might see motor homes ranging from $50k to $500k that use the same basic chassis and powertrain. Asterisk is a foundation that you can build on. A PBX is just one of the many possibilities, ___ --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
[Asterisk-Users] ISDN asterisk ISDN PBX possible ?
Hello May be this question is a little off topic. I like to use asterisk as follow, is that possible. NT1 ISDN from telecom((isdn 1st card ) ASTERISK (2th isdn card)) excisting regular PBX system. In this way I don't have to invest in phone hardware stuff and i can join to the low cost VOIP calls. Specialy for my tele workers. Incomming calls go transparantly through the asterisk server. Outgoing calls go through asterisk to internet VOIP provider if cheaper. I'm mostly wurry about ISDN NT1 etc. Maybe someone can point me to a allready excist lowcost device on the market.

Hi Look for ISDN-Cards with an HFC-S chip and use the bristuff-tools from www.junghanns.net. The cards cost new about 30EUR each. More information about hfc-s can be found in the wiki.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] ISDN asterisk ISDN PBX possible ?
When you say ISDN NT1, are you referring to BRI (which may use an NT1 if you need to convert a U-interface to an S/T interface) or PRI (which is also ISDN, but does not require an NT1)? Asterisk is very suitable for what you want to do, but the PRI support is far better than the BRI support. Also, you will find the price of BRI vs. PRI might not be much different on the hardware side, and PRI offers far more bandwidth. You've come to the right place. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sjaak imap Sent: October 20, 2004 5:57 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] ISDN asterisk ISDN PBX possible ?

Since no one answered my other question. Is anyone stealth using asterisk? I have a nec handset. I would love to pipe it to an xp100 and then VoIP to the asterisk box (even if on the same box).
