Some more echo food for thought. It's most noticeable on very short,

experimenting with various combinations of adjusting taps from 32 to 
256, echowhenbridged on and off and txgain adjustments. I just flat 
can't get it to go away...

I'm also one of those luck ones with a Supermicro box (dual Xeons and 
plenty of RAM). How in the heck would/should I go about figuring out 
what the interrupt service latency or the PCI bus latency is doing. Any 
other thoughts on the front? I'm using GS phones so maybe their echo 
can algorithms are to blame... hmmm...

2004-08-27 Thread Deon Rodden
Have you considered relocating the hard drive (or Asterisk configs) and 
the T100P card to a temporary machine? Even a lower class machine, just 
to eliminate the SuperMicro as the possibility?

I'm interested in your research as we will be deploying some low end 
$800 1U (very short) SuperMicro servers out in the field equipped with 
T100P cards in them. They have Celeron 2ghz processors, 512mb of RAM and 
a regular IDE hard drive. But if there is an incompatibility with the 
way SuperMicro makes their motherboards, then I need to stop them from 
placing the order for 10 of these units on Monday.

[Asterisk-Users] Re: Echo SIP-T100P-PRI

2004-08-19 Thread Mike Schwartz
  I'm experience echo on outgoing calls:
Snom 200  Asterisk  T100P  PRI  called party
  
  I am getting echo on the Snom 200 phone. The called party does not
  hear the echo. 


 Rule of thumb (i.e. a good starting point): if you hear the echo it is
 coming from somewhere else, your equipment mearly makes it noticable. In
 this case the echo is probably caused by an analog conversion at the
 remote party. This is quite common but for calls with a very short latency
 in the call path this is experienced as a reverb and not an echo.
 

Reverb might be a good description. 

If this is the case--that my CLEC is the source of the echo/reverb when they do 
a digital to analog conversion, is there anything I can do about it, except try 
to cancel the echo? Can I ask them to change any settings? They have a 5E 
switch. My collo is right next door--I just cross connect to get my PRI. 

The echo I am experiencing is on local calls.

My * server is a dual-processor XEON (2.4 Ghz) Supermicro server. Its 
relatively fast. I will reduce the number of taps, and I was also thinking of 
decreasing the sample size on the phone from 20ms to 10ms.

thanks a lot!

It seems that echo is not related to processor speed but type of 
hardware inside. Somebody post, one month ago, to have echo with a 
Supermicro server then moved to a slower machine, a DL380, and the echo 
disappear.
