Generally, E1 is pretty rock solid so my guess is more inside the
network.

We found an issue at a site a while ago which was pretty bad (calls
cutting off randomly) and we fixed it by disconnecting the voice and
data networks. We could have troubleshot it properly, but fitting an
extra network card in the server was cheaper and faster.

Is there anything ugly in the logs? If not, you could look at turning o
debugging in logger.conf.

later,

Hello,




I am having a lot of trouble with my deployment of Asterisk. I am
running the PBX-In-a-flash turnkey of Asterisk and ever since
deployment I have had many different problems. I have managed to get
all issues sorted out as I go along, until this one that randomly
began last week.


We are using Grandstream GXP 2000 Handsets in the office, and at
TE110P card to interface to our ISDN OnRamp10 connection (10 Channels
of PRI).


The problem arising seems to happen roughly 4minutes into a call.
Basically all of a sudden the caller just starts to no longer be
understood (sounds like morse code, only milliseconds of voice packets
getting through in either direction). naturally this could be a number
of non-asterisk related things such as a carrier fault, bad network
wiring (even more possible as we are using PoE), even badly configured
QoS. However things being as they are my boss has taken it upon
himself to absolve himself of any possible blame for any system that
he manages (everything but the asterisk box) and lumped it all on me
in such a way that its basically my job if i cannot get this working.
With all of this, i need to do everything i can to rule out the
Asterisk box, so i can go back to him with confidence and clear
asterisk of any wrongdoing.


Has anyone here ever heard of this sort of problem, and if so did you
find a solution? If not, what steps would you recommend i take to
diagnose the issue and rectify it as quickly as possible?


Thankyou very much,


Cameron Hissey

Try other phones, the Grandstreams have a history of issues.

How do i check for collisions on the ethernet cards?

I'll run a cable direct to the main office phone (that i use) today and try
that out

as for the last two (sarcasm and try different to Grandstream phones), the
only reason i didnt immediately blame the grandstreams, the ISDN card or the
distro is it has worked for so long without this problem. the problem seems
only to have started since new cabling, PoE and new ISDN modem were added.
the distro, and the card were all working fine previously...

Please keep the suggestions coming, and thankyou to all that have offered
support so far...

Btw i would like to be able to run things in a debug sort of mode - how do i
go about enabling detailed logs?
Sincerely,


Cameron Hissey
