Subject: Important information for Connect! customers

Hello,

We're sending you this important update so you can take advantage of
improvements we've been making to your VoicePulse Connect! service.

We've been working hard on improving the audio quality and reliability of
your Connect! service, and this notice contains important information about
configuration changes you'll need to make to maximize your performance.

THIS INFORMATION APPLIES TO

-------------------------------------------------------

THIS NOTICE APPLIES ONLY TO CUSTOMERS USING CONNECT! FOR IAX2 TERMINATION
SERVICE. The information here does not affect your ability to receive calls
using IAX2, or make and receive calls using SIP.

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE

--------------------------------------------------------

New switches have been added to handle IAX2 TERMINATION. The purpose of this
change is to provide customers with the ability to use all of the latest
audio codecs available in Asterisk's stable CVS branch, and to provide
additional redundancy for terminating calls.

Some key points regarding this change are:

- The new switches listed below are the latest stable branch of Asterisk

-

The previous method for terminating IAX2 calls using Connect! will cease to
be available at midnight (GMT) on August 15th, 2004.

- We recommend all customers using Connect! for IAX2 termination begin using
the new configuration immediately.

CONFIGURATION CHANGES REQUIRED

-------------------------------------------------------------

Replace the [voicepulse] "friend" in your iax.conf with the following two

"peers":

Note: Replace the entire string <your VP assigned secret here> (including
the < and >) with the correct value. THIS IS NOT YOUR WEBSITE PASSWORD, but
the password listed on the Devices screen in your account.

[vpconnect-t01]

type=peer

secret=<your VP assigned secret here> host=gwiaxt01.voicepulse.com auth=md5
qualify=yes

[vpconnect-t02]

type=peer

secret=<your VP assigned secret here> host=gwiaxt02.voicepulse.com auth=md5
qualify=yes

In your extensions.conf file, replace each Dial statement that previously
dialed via Connect! with statements similar to the following *two* lines for
redundancy:

Note: Replace the entire string <your VP assigned Username> (including the <
and >) with the correct value. THIS IS NOT YOUR WEBSITE USERNAME, but the
username listed on the Devices screen in your account.

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/<your VP assigned

Username>@vpconnect-t01/${EXTEN})

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial(IAX2/<your VP assigned

Username>@vpconnect-t02/${EXTEN})

Similarly, to make international calls, add:

exten => _011.,1,Dial(IAX2/<your VP assigned

Username>@vpconnect-t01/${EXTEN})

exten => _011.,2,Dial(IAX2/<your VP assigned

Username>@vpconnect-t02/${EXTEN})

Thank you very much for choosing VoicePulse Connect!. Our engineers are
working hard every day to improve your service. In the near future we'll be
making improvements to inbound IAX2 calling, as well as SIP connectivity.
