Port to a fax platform
by darin.steffl＠mnwifi.com April 19, 2019

April 19, 2019

Hey all, We typically use Vitelity vFax for porting over fax numbers and use their Fax Enable device which seems to work well. We ran into a ratecenter that they say doesn't work for vFax. Are there any other providers you recommend checking with who offer a Fax ATA use the TLS or HTTP method so it's not actually using Voip for the fax connection? I really need to port this number to a fax provider and something we can still support. Thank you 507-527-xxxx -- Darin Steffl Minnesota WiFi www.mnwifi.com 507-634-WiFi <http://www.facebook.com/minnesotawifi> Like us on Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/minnesotawifi>

Toll Free and Local TNs Porting from Charter
by mark＠ringfree.com April 19, 2019

April 19, 2019

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has experienced the following behavior. I attempted to port both Local and Toll Free TNs from Charter, on the same day, to my usual carrier, and was advised by my carrier that Charter uses a unified system for local and TF ports, and that due to this creating an issue where a pending order would be created on the single account by virtue of dual ports, the ports could not be completed on the same day. My carrier advises most other losing providers treat local and toll free TNs in totally different systems, so this issue only affects Charter numbers. Has anyone experienced the same porting local and toll free numbers from Charter? Thanks for any input. Mark

International call "looping" post-call?
by mwiles＠akabis.com April 18, 2019

April 18, 2019

A customer came to me with a somewhat strange problem. He reports they'll be on a phone call to Jamaica (or other World Zone 1 / International destination). The called party will end the call... and he'll report hearing the last 15-30'ish seconds of the conversation "looped". It almost sounds like someone's maybe doing TCP on the RTP, and something screwy going on with the packetization. Anyone else heard of this or have a theory? Thanks! Mark

Verizon Wireless Static
by richard＠teraquant.com April 18, 2019

April 18, 2019

Have you been able to listen to sample calls containing the static described by your customer? Another potential cause, in addition to the obvious RF signal strength, could be clock slips. This is a phenomenon being derived from the wireline network rather than the radio network? and is pretty constant and loud when it happens. If the call goes over circuit-switched path, ie a ?TDM link, it can suffer from what sounds like static, crackles with about 20 ms periodicity Just an idea because poor signal:noise ratio is not normally described in the same way as the presence of static Regards, Richard Jobson Teraquant Corporation ph: 719 488 1003 d/l: (719) 766-8523 www.teraquant.com Info at teraquant.com Network Monitoring and Service Assurance - Speech Quality Experts (PESQ/POLQA) and Active Testing - Reporting ?

Feeding scripts to bwcli
by jlam＠credil.org April 15, 2019

April 15, 2019

Is there any way bwcli (Broadworks CLI) can read from standard input or give it the path of a script as a command line or prompt line argument? This person is using expect: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46244034/executing-expect-command-with-… . I'll give it a shot, but I was wondering if there was an even more straightforward way. -- Make innovation easy http://www.credil.org/

SPA112 ATA to Buzzer
by acunningham8301＠gmail.com April 13, 2019

April 13, 2019

We have a client who has a buzzer in their shop connected to an SPA112. This is part of the huntgroup on inbound calls to the main number. The issue is that it is supposed to follow the standard ring cycle and it no longer does. Used to be connected to an analog port of an Avaya IP Office. It is an old AC powered one. Connected to the ATA, it buzzes for half a second maybe then waits till the following ring. We've tried changing the ring voltage on the ATA with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe even another product to try? (sub $100 range).

SIP - Preserving original source number in redirected call
by calvine＠gmail.com April 12, 2019

April 12, 2019

I'm faced with a Lawful Intercept scenario for SIP call forwarding which requires the forwarded call to contain the original source and destination numbers. The source number may or may not be changed on the forwarded leg. I see how the original called number can be preserved in Diversion or History-Info, but how do I preserve the original source number? Is there an RFC for this that I missed, or misunderstood? Is it as simple as using PAI for the forwarded A-number and From for the original? I'm concerned the wrong number might appear to the called party.

Dealing with a spammer?
by aaron＠heyaaron.com April 12, 2019

April 12, 2019

For the last few hours I've been getting calls and texts from 800-636-7230 telling me my phone number has been compromised. When I call that number, they answer with variations of "IRS Call Center" and then proceed to ask for name, address, social, etc to verify my account. I've never dealt with spammers who have an 800 number and am clueless on locating the carrier to report it. (Not to mention I'm already bored of queuing up 100 calls to their number and automatically conferencing them in to an echo test or speaking clock.) Any pointers? -A

SIP Paging
by darin.steffl＠mnwifi.com April 11, 2019

April 11, 2019

Hey guys, For old amplified paging systems, do you recommend Snom PA1 or something different? I see this device being fine for one little speaker using the built-in amplifier or using the line out to an amplifier feeding one or more larger speakers. What are you guys using to interface a SIP system to an analog PA system?
