Asterisk vs. Mercury Instruments

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi there,

we’ve changed our PABX by Asterisk recently.
It’s is working for phone calls, fax and all these phone’s stuff.

But, we have a gas measurer from Mercury Instruments sending data through a analogic line. http://www.mercury-instruments.com/en-Mercury_Instruments_Products_UT_3000.html
When we try to get data through Asterisk, the Mercury Instruments Software (called MasterLink32) closes the connection due data errors.

We sniffed the serial port and we realized when connected through Asterisk, there are some “trash” in data packets witch are read by the software.

We (already) tried to force codec ulaw on the ATA, sip.conf and our external board (Khomp EBS-E1 SPX).

If someone could help we’ll be greatfull.

If you’re running E1, you want alaw, not ulaw.

3

I’ve tried with alaw (and ulaw, gsm, g729…) but it doesn’t work.
Maybe the codec is NOT the problem …

4

Neither gsm nor g.729 will work with modems.

david55, thanks.
When I tried ulaw and alaw the connection has been established but data transmission still doesn’t work.
