How do i register the quintum and/or interconnect asterisk via IP? I would like to make a call from soft phone registered in asterisk to quintum attached to pstn. THanks.
anyone?
i would assume you do it like you do any 2 SIP devices … setup a trunk between the 2 and an appropriate dialplan. what have you tried so far ?
Btw, I’m using Quintum DX

Feb 6 17:11:36 NOTICE[1922]: chan_sip.c:11084 handle_request_register: Registration from ‘sip:quintum@x.x.x.x’ failed for ‘x.x.x.x’ - Username/auth name mismatch
I’m not sure if quintum is successfuly registered but I no longer see the error from the CLI about username/auth mismatch.
I got this from “sip show peer nx-quintum”:
Codec Order : (ulaw,alaw)
Status : Unmonitored
Useragent : nx-quintum
Reg. Contact : sip:x.x.x.x
Before, i dont get to see the useragent and reg.contact. Now i can see it but still the status is unmonitored that is why im not sure yet if it is really registered.
Assuming it is, how do i reach the extensions behind the pbx which is attached to quintum via E1/r2?
xlite > asterisk > SIP > quintum > e1/r2 > nortel PBX > extensions here…
Quintum already has a default user “guest” with secret “guest”; you may use these instead of using Quintum & Quintum;
other then above;if you are using username “quintum” and password “quintum” have you already done with the SIP config into your quintum box? under VoIP Configuration >> SIP Signaling Group-x >> User agent? If Yes; please mention:
Also in an ADVANCE TAB; uncheck the “include Quintum Header”.
Hope ths works…
Best of Luck

@atifminhas - I already did that thing. Now im not sure if the quintum is really registered in the asterisk. A friend told me to use “database show” command in asterisk CLI. He said that if i can see the iP address of the quintum then its already registered. But whenever i issue “sip show peer quintum” i got a “status: unmonitored”
Its already working: i can call from xlite > asterisk > sip > quintum > e1r2 > nortel PBX > extension destination.
Another problem is call from nortel pbx extension to xlite registered in xlite.
Should there be a special config in SIP.CONF and EXTENSIONS.CONF in order for the extensions behind nortel pbx to reach my asterisk??
Thanks.
Hi, I’m trying to configure a Quintum Dx2020 for this interconnect : asterisk > SIP > quintum > e1/r2 > nortel PBX.
I can register Quintum SIP trunk in asterisk and the E1 is ok, But I cannot call from asterisk to Nortel or viceversa.
Please, Do you have the quintum parameters?
Now I can call Asterisk to Nortel PBX(disabling caller ID), but I cannot call from Nortel PBX to asterisk? Please any ideas?

No idea, until you tell us what “cannot” means.
-
How are you trying to call from Nortel to Asterisk? What does the SIP
Invite look like? -
What is the response from Asterisk? If it’s a 401 Unauthorised, does
Nortel then send another Invite with the authentication credentials? -
If you can give us any additional information about what you are doing, and
what happens when you do it, this would help us possibly to guess at where the
problem is.

I still maintain the point that designing a monolithic kernel in 1991 is a
fundamental error. Be thankful you are not my student. You would not get a

OMG, does Quintum still exists?
Pooh, Thanks for answer.
I can call from my Asterisk to the Nortel Meridian PBX (work when I disable Caller ID on Nortel PBX). But I can’t call from Nortel PBX to asterisk, when I check the “Call Log” in the tenor DX2060 I saw that Nortel takes the E1 channel but I saw no digits dialed, see image below.
Below a sucessfull call From asterisk to Nortel PBX:
I think that is a R2 MFC Interregister Signaling problem, I’ve tried with different countries in the CAS Signaling Protocol in the Tenor Gateway without results.
Please does anybody have the MFC OGT table(LD 94 on nortel PBX) that works with tenor or which CAS Signaling country can works?
Hi, I could make it to work, now I have ANI from Asterisk to Nortel PBX:I changed CAS Signaling setting the signal “Request ANI digits to 9” and “Request category digit to 5”.
But calls from Nortel PBX to Asterisk just work setting “Incoming Tone to DTMF” in the Tenor.
Does anybody make it to work in MFC?
