[asterisk-users] HA Asterisk

[Michelle Dupuis]

Yes - the USB connection carries the data.  Keep in mind that the "HA" aspect of this product just means you can connect to two asterisk servers.  There is not data replication, detection of asterisk failure, etc.  (without buying more xorcom products).  Be sure to do your homework.  But they do make a good bank product.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the explanation, I have couple of questions here.

1) Does the xorcom box support 8 Port PRI E1 Interface. ?
2) Also the Primary and Secondary Asterisk Server can be any server which will run Asterisk or AsteriskNow (http://www.asterisk.org/asterisknow) Application and customizable or do i also need to buy this from Xorcom ? Not sure i understand that.
3) How does the xorcom box communicate with the Asterisk Server which do not contain any PRI Card inside the system.

Much Appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Kaushal


Yes Xorcom supports E1.

You can run any version of Asterisk as far as I know. I have used 1.4.x and ABE. The drivers are actually built in to Dahdi as supplied by Digium.

The Xorcom box communicates to both system via USB cables, one connected to each system.

Hi Jim

Thanks for your reply. I found out from xorcom folks that we cannot re-program astribank, it is proprietary solution working on any given asterisk distribution out there. You can build linux HA cluster for asterisk then connect astribanks to the cluster.
They recommend twinstar (http://www.xorcom.com/optional-extras/twinstar.html) if we need HA solution from Xorcom.

Is there a way i can have my own customized Asterisk server behind Xorcom Astribank PRI box (http://www.xorcom.com/catalog/xr0111.html) and implement linux-ha ?

Do you have any docs for setting up linux-ha using Astribank as the PRI box and Customized Asterisk Server (Primary and Secondary) Setup.

Please let me know if you  need more information about my specific requirement.

Kaushal
