Asterisk to CS1000E via TMDI PRI 2

[AnthonyHardy]

OK guys, I've had a tech on the phone with me on and off for two days. I'm trying REALLY hard to get this setup and functional, but not having any luck.

We originally setup the TMDI PRI as NI2 (same on the asterisk side) and DID the PRI came up great. I could place calls from the Nortel to the asterisk server with no problems. When I attempted to go from asterisk to Nortel, the Nortel was sending "Channel unavailable, cause 44" according to dch messaging on both sides.

The tech seemed to think that the DID setting was the cause of this so we changed to 5ESS on both sides and now I can't place a call either way (CALL BARRED on Asterisk->Nortel . .maybe Channel Unavailable for Nortel->Asterisk, I'm not positive on that last one).

I would prefer to go back to NI2, but the tech seemed certain that it was the DID setting that was the issue and you can't do TIE on NI2. Thoughts?

Just for a test have you tried setting the IFC to ESIG and CO_type to STD on both sides? It should allow tie trunks to be configured.I had to use this IFC to connect a Mitel to a Nortel. I also saw this post, don't know if it will help as I am Asterisk challenged. thread798-1455378.

look like a perfect place for qsig.. lacking that, are you using any did trunks now? if so the astrick will have to send the same number of digits as your did provider.. the number of digits is a customer wide setting... we are now getting 4 tone from our provider, our dictation people wanted to send 7 tone from there server.. that meant i had to use tie for that app.. then build an idc to strip 3..

the server team could have sent 4 IF they knew their job..

your running pri's so you have a lot of flexability.. be sure that any change (tie to did), you dis msdl x, enl msdl x fdl.. that writes changes to the msdl.. without that command all bets are off..

I'll bet it was that we were sending 4 digit extensions instead of 7 digits, which is what was expected because of the other existing PRI that receives 7 digits.

Bingo. Now, to get my tech back on the phone so we can go back to NI2 and get this thing functional. I would try to change back to NI2 from 5ESS, but I am having a hard time trying to figure out how.

 

[AnthonyHardy]

OK. . I think I've managed to setup for NI2 again and have the capability to call from Nortel->Asterisk fine.

Still getting fast busy when calling Asterisk->Nortel. Here are the dch messages. I tried changing it so the asterisk server sends 7 digits, just like the dch messages showed for the existing PRI, but still no luck.

Any ideas?

 

[AnthonyHardy]

OK guys, I'm completely stumped here. Anyone know a tech I can hire to help me with this? I don't want to open a $600 ticket with Nortel for something that I have a sinking feeling will be a 15 minute fix from someone who has seen this issue before . .

 

[johnpoole]

how many digits are in your ldn 0? set the astrick to that number of digits.. not the clid as seen in your dch msgs.. your msgi shows calling number, not the same as rec digits..

unless your using 7 digit ext numbers, your box does not have a clue as to what to do with 7 digits.. does your did have idc translation for each did?.. if not your getting the same number of digits as your ext dn's

step one. remove the targ from the route.. targ x1.. what is the ncos on the trunks?

the switch treats a trunk the same as it treats an analog station.. make sure the trunks are dtn

Doing one thing at a time (sorry, not a native nortel guy here and I have to look up instructions on most things outside of normal MACs):

LDNs are:

Not sure what 1700 means? Trying to find documentation.
ncos on the trunks is 5 (my phone is 3)
targ on the route is 01
trunks have dtn in their cls.

 

[AnthonyHardy]

Just FYI, for anyone who finds this issue, the reason Asterisk wouldn't send was the trunkgroups option in chan_dahdi.conf. I removed that and Asterisk starting requesting the proper channels from the Opt11 and I'm almost good. Now just to get external calling working properly, which is probably just a result of my playing with ncos and tgar too much.

Thanks to EVERYONE for all of their help.

 

[AnthonyHardy]

Another question, so I don't beat my head too long (I think this one "might" be easy?). . .

normal extension calls are going through fine (even calls to our remote sites over H323 trunks), but calls going out other trunks (to the pstn, for example) are routed to the operator.

Any ideas?

 

[AnthonyHardy]

OK . worked out my last issues . .posting for posterity.

DID's were not allowed out. NI2 cannot be setup as TIE, only DID. THe calls could come in, but not exit another DID line (security in the Nortel we didn't want to break).

We changed to QSIG on both ends and then changed to TIE trunks and everything is functional.

THanks to everyone here for their help!

 

[drsubnet]

I'm glad to see someone else attempting this. We have been using an ESS5 IFC for a year now but users want name and number.

Are you getting name and/or number when calls flow from Nortel to Asterisk?

Thanks

 

[AnthonyHardy]

We are. Had to make sure facilityenable=yes was set in asterisk and RCAP had to have NDI on the dch.
