Connect directly two Patton Smartnode 4112 using T38

Posted on by

Problem: I did a consultancy for a client with two sites, one (the principal) with a old PBX connected to ISDN public network, and another remote-connected via VPN. In this remote site there is only a fax-machine, and this must be connected to the PBX to send and receive faxes: formerly here there was a Analog Line connected to PSTN, but the client has decided to cease it to save moneys.

Obviusly: for the customer it is not possible to use a fax server like Hylafax, where it is possible send & receive fax via network, because he wants to continue to use paper to send fax, and the his old fax-machine.

The initial idea was to connect two ATA throught VPN: 1 FXO connected to PBX in analog exten of PBX in the main site, and 1 FXS connected to fax-machine in the remote site.

The idea is good, but the problem is the kind and the configuration of the ATA: in this situation is mandatory to use T38 to connect one ATA with the other (T38 is the protocol studied to send fax in Voip enviroment). Other solution, with the use of codec like ALAW/ULAW, it is not optimal: we have tested too, but the optimail solution is to use T38.

Solution: We have used 2 SmartNode Patton: 4112/JO (FXO ATA) and a 4112/JS (FXS ATA), with the configuration in the next.

After several weeks of testing it is possible to confirm that all works fine.

How to setup an Android Development Environment for Samsung Galaxy Tab

Posted on by

In the next I will show you how to setup all the software related to the development of android applications for Samsung Galaxy Tab in Windows 7 (32 Bit) environment.

1) Create a folder named android that will contin all the software. It is important that the complete path MUST NOT contain any space to avoid aby problems !
For example: c:\android

2) Download & Install Java SE Development kit JDK 7, with all default option in path C:\android\jre7\
Link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.htm
File Name: jdk-7-windows-i586.exe

3) Download & UnZip evolution IDE in c:\android\evolution Eclipse Classic v 3.7
Link: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
File Name:  eclipse-SDK-3.7-win32.zip
Att.: Evolution does not have a setup: it is only a zip with all the file inside

4) Download & Install Android SDK in path C:\android\android-sdk
Link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
File Name: installer_r12-windows.exe
Att: Sometimes it happened that when I launched the adroidSDK I got the error “Java SE development Kit (JDK) not found” (the launcher did not recognise the presence of JDK): in this case the solution it is to press the BACK button and then press the NEXT.
After the installation of Android SDK launch the SDK manager, and verify in “Installed Package” all the package installed in setup. I have installed only the follow, and uninstalled all the others.
– Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 6
– SDK Platform Android 2.2 API 8 revision 3
– Galaxy Tab Addon by Samsung Electronics, Android  API 8 revision 1

5) Start Eclipse and select Help -> Install New Software -> Add
Name: ADT
Location: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse
Confirm & wait the end of refresh, and at the end install Android DDMS and Android Development Tools

6) In Eclipse select Window -> Preferences -> and select Android. Browse to select where you have installed the android sdk (C:\android\android-sdk).

Now we have to create the AVD (Android Virtual Device) to test/debug the application without the need to install these into a real physical device

From Eclipse Window -> “Android SDK and AVD Manager” -> Virtual Device -> New.

Name: Galaxy Test
Target: Select “Galaxy Tab Addon”

That’s all

Now it is possible to create an “Hello Word” project in Eclipse.
File -> New -> Android Project.

BCM450 & Gateway Cisco 2821

Posted on by

The last afternoon I wasted many hours on this inter-connection !

I had to connect a brand new Avaya Nortel BCM 450 to Cisco 2821 in the ISDN/E1 plug. After several tests I found that it is not possible to use a standard cable of any type.

I had googled and found the post in linkografia, with success: below is the complete pin-connection.

BCM450: Issue on MOH after release upgrade

Posted on by

In the next days I upgraded to R6 (from R3) a Nortel/Avaya BCM 450.
After this upgrade we have verified that is not possible to add wav file for MOH: we got the following error.

"Playlist ADD failure: list output error"

To resolve the issue the following steps below.

1) Reboot the system
2) Re-enter with Avaya Business Element Manager in the pbx
3) Take a screen shot of Configuration->Applications->Music
4) Administration->Backup and Restore->Restore from: Factory Default & select Restore button.
5) Select OK.
6) Take care to restore only ‘IP Music.’ Verify that only IP Music has been selected, then respond Yes to proceed with restore.
7) Restore complete – Select OK
8) Select Configuration->Applications->Music and submit the value like 3)

Now you should be able to add wav file to play list !

Att.: I think that you can follow the same steps for Nortel/Avaya BCM 50 too, but I have not tried.
