Asterisk on a NCD Thinstar 564.NET (532.NET) - Installation

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
After having set up the thinstar box  the next step consisted of the installation of Asterisk 1.4.23.1 from source.

I installed unixODBC, unixODBC-devel, the mysql ODBC driver and the mysql server + libraries from the Suse 10.3 CD. After that I compiled the UW IMAP 2007 toolkit to have access to the IMAP voicemail feature of Asterisk.

Asterisk itself took 2 hours to compile, not really terrific...

show translation is also really low end:

thinstar*CLI> core show translation
         Translation times between formats (in milliseconds) for one second of data
          Source Format (Rows) Destination Format (Columns)

I also included chan_sccp to be able to access my Cisco 7960 phone.

Performance: Using 1 voice connection from ISDN to the Cisco phone, the CPU has approx 20 % load and no clicks or lost packets on the line. Remember, no format conversion is done in that case (alaw -> alaw).

Power consumption: 9 watts with the hard disk, 7 watts without. Not bad for an asterisk server.

I completed it with MySQL ODBC storage for the call data records and an Apache Webserver to be able to look these records from everywhere in the world...
