[asterisk-users] oddity with TDM400P / Asterisk setup

[Ted Wallingford]

Hi List,

I am working with an Asterisk server running on Fedora Core 4. It has  
two TDM400P cards installed. There are 6 trunk ports and 2 (unused)  
analog line ports.  There are 5 Polycom SoundPoint 501 SIP phones  
connected to the server, and a Linksys 24-port powered switch  
connecting everything.  The * version running is 1.2.7.1.   All of  
the ports on the switch with voice devices, including the server,  
have a service class of 5, while non-voice devices are connected to  
other ports that have a service class of best effort.

The problem, which began this morning, is very elusive.  Calls-in- 
progress from zap-to-sip or sip-to-zap or sip-to-Asterisk will drop  
at odd times during the call, anywhere from 2 minutes to 15 minutes  
into the call.   At the same time the call drops, my SSH session to  
the server will hang. After 10 to 15 seconds, the output and input  
from ssh session appears on my terminal and I am able to resume  
working in the shell.  Zap-to-Asterisk doens't seem to cause the  
problem. Only when I dial through to a SIP device does it seem to hang.

Top reveals nothing out the ordinary, utilization wise, the disk has  
plenty of free space, and the arp cache doesn't ever indicate a  
duplicate IP address with the server's NIC, which I thought might  
have been the problem.  I also attempted to move the server to  
another port on the switch. No improvement.

Anybody have a problem like this?
