[Asterisk-Users] Are my expectations too high?

2006-05-23 Thread Derek Lee-Wo
I'm trying to use Asterisk with a TDM400P and 2 analog lines, but I'm having a hard time getting the kind of audio quality that I'd like. I'm hoping to be able to use SIP phones to make calls through Asterisk and have the same quality as a regular analog phone connected to the PSTN. Are my

Get an FXO card with hardware echo cancellation. I use the Sangoma A20002D (four FXO ports with echo cancellation). It definitely costs more, but the hardware echo cancellation makes a huge difference in call quality! Software echo cancellation doesn't really work... With this card, would you

there that might benefit you in a situation like this. Go look through your zaptel source tree for fxotune and see if it cant possibly correct some of the problem you're having. Thanks for this suggestion. I ran the test and activated the settings with fxotune -sand I'll see how it works. I

No it's not. There will be artifacts in any TDMXXX TigerJet Digium analog card, IMO. These artifacts are mitigated through the black art and dumb luck of different chassis, local RF interference, different handsets, different Asterisk version, etc. But you will most likely never get the exact

Welcome to computer telephony. :-) I'm actually working in the computer telephony field and have been for the last 10 years, but I deal mainly with T1s and trunk adapters on RS/6000s. I'm a software person so I don't do a huge amount telephony configuration, but I have done my share over

Going to AMP, Setup - General - Extension of fax machine for receiving faxes = disabled *should* disable fax detection by causing it to use a different branch of the AMP macro's... I did set it to disabled, but it still called NVFaxDetect() with a parameter of zero.

This is most likely your upload speed. I have Comcast supposedly with 384KB upload, but I have a hard time using VoIP unless I use a low-bandwidth codec like GSM. For g711, it's a crap shoot as to whether it works or not. I can always hear the other person clearly since I have a ton of

I have a TDM400P with 2 FXO cards and I'm using [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.8 I noticed that when I place a call to the analog lines from outside, Asterisk takes a while to actually ring the extension the call is being sen to. I've been doing some tests, calling from my cellphone and here is what I

- After the first ring on my cell, Asterisk logs to the CLI that is has an incoming call - After the second ring, it kicks off part of the incoming call context I fixed this by setting: usecallerid=no in zapata.conf I made this change and it helped in that it reduced the number of rings.

[Asterisk-Users] TDM400P static on call

2006-05-15 Thread Derek Lee-Wo
I just got a TDM400P with 2 FXO cards. I got it all configured and I can place and receive calls. I seem to be getting static on the call, mainly when I speak. E.g, if I call someone, I can hear them just fine, but they would hear static. Not a lot...more like a constant background hissing
