SS7 Landscape
by voiceops＠ics-il.net Oct. 24, 2023

Oct. 24, 2023

We currently get our SS7 via TNS. I (maybe incorrectly) understand them to be a big dog in that space. I've had two major problems with them in six months. What are my alternatives? Are they less pleasant? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com

by ghenry＠suretec.co.uk July 4, 2023

July 4, 2023

Hi all, I hope you don't mind the post, but thought this might be of use and in the spirit of release early, release often I've done an alpha release: https://github.com/SentryPeer/SentryPeer There's a presentation too if you'd like to watch/read where I hope to go with this: https://blog.tadsummit.com/2021/11/17/sentrypeer/ Working on the API and web UI next, then the p2p part of it. Feel free to submit any feature requests or have a play :-) Thanks for reading and any feedback is welcome! -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry.

Ongoing Voxbone issues

Hi All, Is anyone else seeing ongoing issues with Voxbone and their web portal/API? In the past week it seems as if their web systems are down almost every day with zero communication from them on what is going on. It's almost as if we see the issues before they do. Anyone else experiencing this?

i-test alternative
by dovid＠telecurve.com Nov. 17, 2022

Nov. 17, 2022

Hi All, We have been using i-test.net to test calls around the world, mainly to check for FAS and to see if the CLI we send is what's received on the other side. I vaguely remember there being another service out there like them (for the life of mine I can't remember the name). Anyone know of any alternatives to them? TIA. Dovid

911 Database Stuff
by voiceops＠ics-il.net Nov. 14, 2022

Nov. 14, 2022

Going through a migration from E911 to NG911, I've been peering into what and how we do 911, both old and new. A) Not all services have a web UI for you to make changes. Intrado does, but the new one does not. Only way is to upload SOI files. I guess we gotta figure out how to do that. B) We have more entries than we have TNs. C) People are bad at documentation. I'm assuming we should be deleting records for customers that disconnected service. I'm not sure we've done that, based on the records that I see. For customers that port away, I'm assuming we're supposed to be unlocking the TN for the new provider to take over the record. If I unlock it, but the new provider never migrates away, what do I do with it? What happens if a provider inserts a duplicate record? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com

Metaswitch Loopback
by voiceops＠ics-il.net Nov. 8, 2022

Nov. 8, 2022

I'm working a situation where I need to rewrite my called number to a toll-free number. Because the rewriting happens after Metaswitch does the toll-free lookup, the tandem rejects the call as there's no dip. Metaswitch support had me route the call to a SIP loopback trunk, but that also fails because I don't accept transit calls. I saw the warning in the Metaswitch KB about enabling transit calls, so that doesn't excite me. Are there other ways of skinning this cat, aside from rewriting to a non-toll-free number? Why I'm hesitant to do that is the goal here is to dump calls out a TDM provider instead of a SIP provider. These are priority calls and I want a backup to IP-based solutions. We don't have agreements with any TDM termination providers, so that path doesn't seem feasible either. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com

Force an Outbound Caller ID Number on Broadworks
by colton.conor＠gmail.com Nov. 3, 2022

Nov. 3, 2022

Is there a way to force an outbound caller ID number on Broadworks? We have a SIP ONT that seems to auto enable its caller ID restriction feature. We would like to make it where regardless what the ONT sends, always make the external number of outbound calls the user's DID. I think is doing the equivalent of a *69 as it just unknown for the caller id name and number when calling outbound.
