[Asterisk-Users] Sipura SPA-3000 setup in Brazil

[huelbe_garcia at fastimap.com]

Paul,

the only stuff really differente here in Brazil is the ring frequency. It's a 4-seconds-pause-1-second-25-Hz-ring. I had some problems with telephone devices made in Brazil that did not recognize a 20Hz ring (US standard). Also, the dialtone is a little differente (check asterisk's indications file), its single frequency, continous tone.

Dial-out operation should word. I think 99% of our country (and specially a big city like Sao Paulo) now uses Central Offices able to detect standard DTMF tones.

If the you are using was tested with a common thephone and it is okay, than what comes to my mind is wrong dial plan. We had a lot of changes here in the last two years (local numbers are now 8-digit, you have to use an carrier to place a metro and long distance calls...).

Also, check if SPA-3000 is not connected through a PBX extension port. In Brazil, you usually dial 0 before dialing a PSTN number.

Brazil does not have any standard PSTN test numbers, but I would recommend you to dial "130" which usually leds you to the "Date/Time service".

Good luck,

--hg

  All-

  I'm attempting to set up a Sipura SPA-3000 in Sao Paolo, Brazil.  Not being a portuguese speaker, I'm having a rough time of finding the relevant information on how to make the thing pick up the PSTN line and make an outbound call.

  The sipura in question works fine on a bench connected to a POTS line in the US, but is now plugged in in Sao Paolo.  The immediate thing I notice is that the voltage is high by US standards- 66v, as opposed to 48.  But no combination of settings will seem to make it work properly- attempted outbound calls generate dead air.  A brazilian POTS phone hooked up to the FXS port on the unit works just fine- I can ring it, and it can call into Asterisk.

  Am I barking up the wrong tree, and does the device have to be different for it to work in Brazil, or is there some magic I need to apply to the Sipura config to make it work?

  Any previous experience shared would be welcomed, and eventually, published on the wiki.
