Hi, Does anyone use a voice peering fabric? I look at 'em from time to time, but just don't see them as a compelling option yet.

Hi all, What tools are you using to let your users of any problems or changes with an online history? We use RT for support but wanted something simplier than mailman. We'll have a twitter status page/post too. Thanks. -- Sent from my mobile device http://www.suretecsystems.com/services/openldap/ http://www.suretectelecom.com

If you upgrade BW to a new SP or major version, check this setting before and after: WS_CLI/System/ClientSession/LoginAuthLevel Its reverted to default upon upgrade a couple of times, which was really no fun at all.

Alternative IVR Platform?
by carlos＠race.com Aug. 3, 2009

Aug. 3, 2009

What I like about having the single assigned person is that the person knows your setup. I guess it doesn't hurt that im 15 min away from there alameda office and I can go sit with my support guy when need be. I've had to work with the guys in the UK a couple of times and it's been spot on. Just my 2 cents.

We are doing Meta's MOH on Asterisk as well. With Metaswitch support a lot seems to hinge on who you are assigned to in terms of your support experience. It makes for an interesting discussion topic when you start getting into the benefits and down-sides of having one specific assigned first-line support representative as opposed to a random tech for each ticket you open. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Alex Balashov Sent: Saturday, August 01, 2009 7:18 PM To: Carlos Alcantar Cc: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Alternative IVR Platform?

That seems very reasonable. Why pay for the switch vendor's overpriced Class 5 feature server accessories when you can generate them out of Asterisk? -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 Mobile : (+1) (678) 237-1775 _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops

Call reconciliation across multiple elements
by anorexicpoodle＠gmail.com Aug. 3, 2009

Aug. 3, 2009

For all of you out there with multiple call control elements in your network that might touch a single call, what methods do you use to correlate CDR's across multiple dissimilar platforms (SBC, softswitch, feature servers, LCR etc)?

And your right I don't like the fact that they do lock us out of certain parts of the switch, but at the same time i feel the support they have given me has been excellent and they have been able to work with me thru all my issue where I haven't had to go dig thru those sections of the switch. And I'll take back what I said about moving everything to Metaswitch we still do have our moh server on asterisk as well as our vm server with no plans on moving them anytime soon.

Having used both, my opinion is Meta is a good product, as long as it does what you need. Not very adaptable. Usable to deliver pots service via voip, but anything else use Asterisk. My preference has been to setup Meta to handle all the SS7 dips, E911, etc, with Asterisk more as a feature server hanging off the Meta. I also do not like Meta support going in and making changes to networks without prior communications, and unilateraly removing tech access to areas they should have access to. I have always had the opinion that once I buy the gear I have control, not the manufacturer. If I wish to purchase support, then support me but do not lock me out. ATT used to be good at this also.

Level3 VIPER ---> VECTOR
by bsneddon＠gc1.com Aug. 3, 2009

Aug. 3, 2009

We migrated a couple years ago I. I suppose it'd be more accurate to say we were *forced* to migrate off. :) The migration was fairly quick and painless for us, however the new platform had a few differences I wasn't too fond of such as lack of support for RFC2833. I don't recall any significant quality differences. In general I'm pleased with the quality of Vector compared to some other carriers' networks.
