[Aaug] Dropped calls on Deltacom PRI

Nope it looks good except for some undocumented features *smile*

Well, two issues I see ... 

One is it isn't a full PRI, Define 11 thru 23 in a separate group but
don't use it, zaptel doesn't handle partial PRI's and T1's as the config
is set, you have to define all the channels, regardless  You may even
have to busy out the 11.   It may even be passing the call to 12
(random), if defining doesn't help.  Define a third group with channel
11 in it only and don't use it. and leave 10 in the first dialing group.
You will have to muck around here a bit to get it to work right. 

If you watch your CLI as you dial 15 calls in a round robin setup it
will fail on 12 of course (random), you may have to dial 15 concurrent
calls. And 24 may give you issue as well. Why it tries to route out a D
channel I don't know.  

Second increase the rx gain to 7 and set the tx gain to -4, common issue
is that zaptel is hokey when it comes to TX RX on the channels a
standard setting should be zero and zero.  But in all case studies I've
read the setting are always somewhere around 7 and -4. So they set the
defaults on a hokey board installation. SO I call the standard setting 7
and -4.  

<soapbox> These have been known for ages, zaptel and digium pass it back
and forth pointing fingers instead of fixing the issue. </soapbox>

Subject: [Aaug] Dropped calls on Deltacom PRI


Dropped calls on Deltacom PRI -
Users report random dropped calls daily usually outbound calls, User's 
do not have a problem when using an IP Trunk VoicePulse...

updated switchtype to dms100 per Deltacom request... still same issue

Does anyone have a PRI card, I could borrow to install in another * box 
to prove its not the * box?
Deltacom is saying the * box is sending the disconnect...
Not sure what else to do ... Any suggestions?


I have completely updated the PBX to the latest versions of the 
following for Asterisk...

Asterisk 1.2.15

   ISDN PRI Switch Configuration

If you have a PRI line, specify your type of switch here. (PRI is a type

of ISDN typically used to connect a PBX to a telephone exchange. They 
have multiple channels on the one connection.)

*switchtype*: Sets the type of PRI switch being used. Default: national.

Acceptable values are:

   * national: National ISDN type2 (common in the US)
   * ni1: National ISDN type 1
   * dms100: Nortel DMS100
   * 4ess: AT&T 4ESS
   * 5ess: Lucent 5ESS
   * euroisdn: EuroISDN
   * qsig: Minimalistic protocol to build a "network" with two or more
     PBX of different vendors!

Could the "switchtype" setting be an issue?

Does anyone over there have any experience with Asterisk PRI config to 
Deltacom ?

Deltcom:

Here are some traps of dropped calls that happened today.  On both calls
it looks like the disconnect came from the equipment at the site.  The
customer also advised they had an interoffice call that dropped also.
Let me know if this helps you all out.  Are there any specific settings
that you all have to set up on that card?  If so, send them to me and
we'll see what we can find. 
Thanks!

Client:
I really did not think it happened the first time but it really did. I 
have had two dropped calls this afternoon:

 
880 282-8932 around 250pm I called out

770 640-7614 around 300pm I called out and just now at 303pm


DeltaCOM Response:

I captured the 770 one..... still looks like the equipment dropped it...
I also captured another reset from the equipment too...
