Best Tier-1 Wholesale SIP Provider - Toll-Free Inbound
by gmina＠connectfirst.com Aug. 17, 2011

Aug. 17, 2011

Greetings, I am looking for who everyone considers to be the best Tier-1 provider of wholesale TF inbound SIP services. We are currently using Level(3) and can't get them to generate a valid batch of CDRs for reconciliation if their life depended on it. The voice quality is fine as are the call setups, but the CDR problem is huge for us. We are doing about 5mm/mo of inbound TF and have about 20K TF numbers. Thanks. Geoff

t.38 Fax over IP
by Brad＠broadcore.com Aug. 16, 2011

Aug. 16, 2011

Mediatrix 4102 seems to perform pretty good when limiting the bit rate to 9600 on the connected fax machine. The problem arises when the fax machine is not configurable. I'm now considering testing the Audiocodes MP112 as it allows for configuring the bit rate at the IAD level. Do you have any experience using Audiocodes for faxing? If so, would you share a configuration file example? Have you had a better lock with any other analog adapters? If so, would you be able to share the make/model? I'm also experimenting with the Adtran TA FXS ports. I will post an update once tested. Brad Anouar

911 call notification in Broadworks.
by matthew＠corp.crocker.com Aug. 14, 2011

Aug. 14, 2011

I have a customer that currently has a 911 call notification feature they want to mimic on our Bworks switch. Currently when someone on the PBX calls 911 the call goes through to 911 normally. The switch then generates a new call to the building security office and plays a greeting 'Extension 1234 has called emergency service). Building security can then react quickly to the emergency and be ready for the police/fire/ambulance arrival. Does anyone have an idea how that can be configured on Bworks? -- Matthew S.

Wholesale termination time-of-day routing
by abalashov＠evaristesys.com Aug. 6, 2011

Aug. 6, 2011

Our principal product offering is a proxy-based "Class 4" trunking / wholesale routing/accounting/billing platform. We are internally debating implementing time-of-day routing, and are curious to know if there is a use case for time-of-day routing on this level. This is a popular feature on on PBXs, for obvious reasons. However, what we want to know is whether it is thought useful in an intra-industrial termination trunking context. It seems to have little utility for those doing domestic LD in NANPA land. However, there are international providers that have peak/off-peak rates in certain jurisdictions. Our experience with it has been mainly in the UK, but perhaps there are others. Opinions appreciated. Thanks a lot! -- Alex -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 260 Peachtree Street NW Suite 2200 Atlanta, GA 30303 Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Fax: +1-404-961-1892 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/

Letting a phone ring forever?
by carlos＠televolve.com July 31, 2011

July 31, 2011

We have a customer who has asked us to let his main line ring "forever" or at least five minutes. As a standard practice we forcefully hang up on an unanswered call at 90 seconds if the customer has turned off voicemail and auto-attendants. It seems wrong to let a line ring forever or even for minutes at a time, and I recall something in the back of my head about a traditional industry-standard limit. Your opinions requested. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003
