helps alot! I believe that it is an ADIT 600, and I definitely want to
adjust those gain settings. I'll ask Martin about the timeout on DNIS,
although it would seem that the fact that I have observed the loss of only the
2nd tone, for example, leads me to believe that it is not the timing
out. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>I'm new to *, but I've dealt with this issue on other switches. It
sounds like either you are timing out getting DNIS information from your CO,
or you are having trouble hearing the DTMF tones that are pulsed to you during
the call setup process. Someone else on the list may know: is it
possible to 1) configure the timeout for waiting on DNIS and 2) is it possible
to change the Rx gain on the TDM cards? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's my understanding that the circuit is going throught the channel
bank, which is acting like a drop-and-insert CSU by forwarding the 12 channels
with voice to your * box. You mentioned that this was a Carrier Access
channel bank, is it an ADIT 600? There are send and recieve gain
settings on the channel bank unit that you might want to play with.</DIV>

<DIV>HTH, HAND</DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Hi,<BR> Please let
me know if you have any ideas - I am taking wild guesses now....<BR>Here is
the situation:<BR><BR> I put in
Asterisk for a local customer. I have Fractional T-1 with 12<BR>Voice
& 12 Data. I have a T100P hooked up to a TDM Card (they call it
a<BR>chanel bank although it only has 2 outputs) in a CAC unit. The
unit also<BR>has a router card that runs the data side. My extensions
are all SIP phones<BR>save a few fax machines. The customer has 7
digit unverified account codes<BR>on the trunks for billing
purposes.<BR><BR>The
Problem:<BR><BR> As I watch the
console, I see calls coming in for exten "73" or "708" or<BR>"08" or "730"
although most come in correctly (ie "7308"). My carrier
has<BR>verified numerous times that they are sending 4 digits. I have
40 DID<BR>numbers that need to be routed and they are all in the 73xx
range. I need<BR>to know anything that would cause my box randomly not
to hear all 4 digits<BR>on occasion. Also, I have had trouble with
people who dial out getting a<BR>congestion signal mainly on Long Distance
numbers. The person would dial<BR>the number 4 or 5 times and get
congestion then it might go through. Both<BR>of these conditions seem
to be happening only about 10-20% of the time.<BR><BR>What I have
done:<BR><BR>Moved a T100P card to its own IRQ to prevent problems with
interrupts - Did<BR>not solve either issue.<BR><BR>On the second try, got
the carrier to change the way their switch chooses<BR>channels for incoming
calls to prevent "glare" - This MAY have fixed the<BR>outgoing long distance
issue as it seems to have gone away( although it<BR>doesn't seem logical to
me that this would affect only LD) but did not fix<BR>incoming
calls.<BR><BR>Has anyone else had problems getting all of the digits that
the Telco sends?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Andy
