Thanks Cary,<br><br>What happens is, the Telco won't allow the small
company to resell the ISDN connections, meaning, they bought the trunks
and DIDs, then sold dialing plans to route incoming calls through the
PRIs out the Internet. This is not the issue though. We definitely have
to migrate to an SS7 capable platform, because that is the only way the
Telco allows them to resell the dial-up connections (not ISDN), and
Asterisk is the current bet.<br>
<br>If we can get Asterisk to pick up those calls via SS7, then
authenticate them, send them out to the Internet, we would be achieving a
%100 usage on the Digium cards, because one of them wouldn't be used to
talk to the AS.<br>
<br>Can Asterisk do this?<br><br><br>Thanks again,<br><br clear="all"><b style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><font size="2"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">José Pablo Méndez</span></span></span></font><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hello,<br>
<br>
We are working on implementing a solution for a medium service provider. They
were previously using a Cisco AS5300 gateway with some PRI trunks to receive
modem calls, then route them out the Internet.<br>
<br>
The Telco they were buying the trunks to discovered this configuration and
restricted them due to legal conventions, and stated that in order to continue
doing this, they would have to talk SS7 directly.<br>
<br>
We are planning on solving this by placing an Asterisk server with some TE410
cards talking SS7 to Telco, and another 4 ISDN ports talking to the AS5300 for
the dial-up to complete after authenticating against a RADIUS server.<br>
<br>
My questions is: can we use only Asterisk to complete/terminate the dial-up
connection, removing the AS5300 out of the picture?<br>
<br>
Current topology to be set-up:<br>
Telco --> SS7 --> TE410P-AsteriskServer --> ISDN --> AS5300 -->
Internet<br>
<br>
Ideal topology:<br>
Telco --> SS7 --> TE410P-AsteriskServer --> Internet<br>
<br>
<br>
Some posts talk about zapRAS being able to accomplish this, not quite sure though<br>
<br>
Sounds like possible:<br>
