Definity G3 and Asterisk via PRI 2

mkeensvc · Jun 6, 2016

Hi all,

I'm revisiting this project after getting a great deal of help from this forum last year but not quite getting it fully functional. I've got a Definity G3 V12 with a TN464 board and an Asterisk box with a PhonicEQ E100P card. I have successfully built a DS1 circuit directly connecting the two as an E1. At this point I can successfully make calls from the Definity to extensions on the Asterisk system. I cannot, however, manage to make calls from Asterisk to Definity. For what it's worth, the "list trace tac" command on Definity shows no activity when trying to call in from Asterisk, so it seems that the issue resides on the asterisk side. The error log suggests that it may be due to the extension, but we've tried prepending the extension with the full number which still failed with the same error (cause 88). Below are the relevant conf files from Asterisk and log files for both outbound (Asterisk -> Definity Failure) and incoming (Definity -> Asterisk Success) calls.

Look at your bearer capabilities - on the failed one, it says a-law and the good one says u-law - why?
Also, check your DS1 config on the Avaya side and check the bearer capability. It can be 3.1KHz or speech. I think it bit me once having a mismatch.

mkeensvc · Jun 7, 2016

Kyle, you are a lifesaver. We now have two-way calling. We had zero luck getting Asterisk to force u-law, but as soon as we switched Definity to a-law all was right with the world.

Thank you!!!

You're lucky Avaya's one of the few PBXs that can have Alaw and Ulaw in the same tdm bus.

I'd spend more time making the Asterisk ulaw just for mroe funky call scenarios like voicemail and calling Asterisk to the Avaya to the PSTN - I have no experience juggling different companding and where you might have other problems come up.
