thankyou both very much for your swift responses and helpful insight...
While my knowledge of administrating Asterisk is fairly decent, i must say
my knowledgebase and ability in troubleshooting it is fairly lousy...
all these wonderful suggestions you have had about turning this log on here,
etc sounds great, but i don't know where to begin on that! how do you
recommend i turn these on or obtain them, else is there a site you can point
me to to save your precious time?
as for the network, we have two cisco routers, one is PoE and the other is
standard. we have tried to keep things constant whereby phones are connected
to the PoE and the data devices are connected to the standard switch,
however the cabling was a bit of a rush job and consequently the PoE has
proven unstable on many of the points, with some of them not even supplying
data packets. this has meant i have had to share a single port for some
desks, where the ethernet cable plugs into the phone and the computer's
ethernet connection is routed through the phone also.
The issues that we are having however are not confined to any single desk;
they occur sperratically on all phones and with any number of call volumes
(small business so only max 6 calls at once incl internal-internal) from 1
through to maximum capacity. I've been told that it usually happens around
the 4 minute mark but i wouldn't hold him to that... im happy to setup
whatever you think is going to fix this, however unfortunately with having
to share network points, i dont really know how VLANS and segmentation are
going to go...
Thanks so much everyone for your support!
Sincerely,
Cameron Hissey

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
.

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

I would recommend running a separate (preferably store-bought) cable
across the floor directly to the closest desk from the switch.
If that desk stops having problems, you have your answer. If it keeps
having problems, at least there are fewer places to look for the error.
