When we have a customer who is not happy with our Music on Hold options, one of our solutions involves dropping an ATA onsite (Cisco/Linksys running the Streaming Audio Service) that the customer connects their own audio source into. This ATA registers to our system and when presented a call goes off-hook and plays music. These ATAs are limited to 10 simultaneous calls. We are currently looking for a solution like this that would handle say 50+ calls. I've looked around and so far have not found anything. I realize we could theoretically do this with an Asterisk server but we're ideally looking for a product that's already baked instead of developing one. Any ideas? ADAM BAIRD | SR.

+1 again on Asterisk since it has the ability to connect to icecast/shoutcast streams (one you manage or existing internet radio) or the ability to just stream from a local directory and it isn't black magic - http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+config+musiconhold.conf As Alex said earlier why would you use an appliance when not using one works so well? I would only go the appliance route if this was a premise based system and even then I would probably suggest not using one.

Level 3 TN Inventory
by EWieling＠nyigc.com May 27, 2012

May 27, 2012

We have been trying to get Level 3 to send us a report of all TNs on our account. We would need the TN, the TN type (inbound/two way), and BTN on our account. They claim they can't do that. Has anyone gotten a report from Level 3 with this information? Of so what are the magic words to say? Our sales rep has been less than successful in getting us this information.

T38 via Level3
by jhoward＠m5.net May 26, 2012

May 26, 2012

It was a few years ago last we tested but getting reliable t.38 from any carrier was near impossible - level3 told us straight out that they couldn't guarantee t.38 on all their switches and routes. I think Verizon was a little better but there were other issues with them - including a premium cost. We have made due with g711 faxing for most users and local network 711<-> t.38 conversions using audiocodes media servers. Also - it takes some tweaking but I have continued to test Asterisks (v1.8) t.38 gateway for faxing and it seems to be improving. Depending on your traffic requirements it might be something to consider if you cannot rely on your carriers and your fax server requires t.38. Faxing is also a good reason to keep around some PRIs if it is an important part of your business model. Jesse

MD / Southern PA DID Outage?
by tim.donahue＠gmail.com May 25, 2012

Hi all, We have been having problems with DIDs from GBLX in the MD and Southern PA area with intermittent outages. GBLX's customer support hasn't been helpful so far, so I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a larger issue that we might be experiencing trouble from. Tim

We currently use Level3 for T38 (FAX) termination. It seems that the percentage of failing T38 calls have significantly increased in the last couple of weeks.

Voicemail options
by nelsonh＠socket.net May 24, 2012

May 24, 2012

Hello, We currently have two separate SIP voicemail systems for two different platforms, and I'm looking at options to merge them. One of them is part of an Asterisk PBX and the other is the Broadworks voice portal. We would like to avoid moving a large mass of users from the Asterisk platform over to Broadworks and tie up a bunch of messaging licenses, but I don't think we want to move the voicemail for the Broadworks subscribers over to the other system either (they would lose other voice portal functions). I'm looking for what you guys would think of to try to fill this gap, both in type of solution and software. I'm not happy with any ideas I've brainstormed myself. Thanks, -- Nelson Hicks DNS and Web Administrator SOCKET (573) 817-0000 dns at socket.net 1-800-SOCKET-3 www.socket.net
