<TITLE> Asterisk Integration with Lucent Definity g3si</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi everyone, </FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We have been working with Asterisk for a while now and would really like to expand its capabilities by fully integrating it with our Definity g3si and are wondering about other peoples experiences with similar setups. Thus far we have only been able to achieve a partial 1 way integration, but ultimately would love to route inbound voip calls to the asterisk out of the lucent. Obviously the tighter the integration we can get the better we can leverage our existing resources and start migrating aspects of our operations to voip entirely. Comments and suggestions from you definity experts out there are very appreciated.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The setup:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Asterisk 0.7.0 on a vanilla gentoo box with a configured T100P digium card hooked up directly without csu to a TN464 DS1 interface card. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">With alot of experimentation it connects (With some timing sync issues) with the following settings on the DS1:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Bit rate: 1.544</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">line coding: ami-basic</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">line compensation: 1</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">framing mode: d4</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">signalling mode: robbed bit</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Interface companding: mulaw</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">idle code: 11111111</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">slip detect: n</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">near-end CSU type: other</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We then set up a trunk group, but I believe because of the limitations of the card/setup we can only use group type: co which limits us to outbound on the trunk, or inbound to 1 mapped extension, no DID or more advanced switching. The temporary solution to this has been to use some of the lucents built in vectoring capabilities to send specific extensions to the asterisk. Any recommendations for increasing our integration? Cards/setup etc? Thanks very much. Being able to send voip calls on the asterisk to queues on the Lucent would be fantastic.</FONT></P>
