Voice - Transparent CCS

Has anybody done any configs with transparent CCS.
I need to configure this for a VOIP link using Clear Channel Code over IP.
I have found a config on Cisco - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk653/technologies_tech_note09186a00800a96c1.shtml
I am having trouble understanding the relation with the POTS / VOIP configs and the PABX. What does the PABX send to the router in relation to a call. The PABX is using DPNSS signaling.
Normally voice routers do inteligent call routing depending on your dial-peer voip configs, but the above document has 6000 & 8000 pots configs. Just wondering how the PABX fits into these configs. Do these 6000 & 8000 pots configs have any relation with the call coming from the PABX or are they just a number.
If anybody has done transparent CCS, could they possible send me a copy of their configs, excluding IP addresses(obviously) or point me to any more links with relavent information.

PABX will connect with the gateway over trunk line like E1 in the config examples in the above url. so the call will come in the gateway over E1 and since the trunks are nailed up between two gateway, based on the number dialed like 6000 or 8000 the call will be forwarded to appropriate voice-port as configured under the dial-peer.
So the network will look like
PABX----E1----Gateway-------IP Network-----Gateway-----E1---PABX

Unable to configure voice ports on cisco2811

I have configured the Voice Gateway and calls are working internally.
I recently installed a WIC-1B-S/T-V3 card to prepare to getting outside line access.
To try a set of Dial-Peer and put the port command , but I have been rejected.
I've confirmed that　IOS Version,compatibility of WIC,PVDM is installed.
How do I get my WIC card to work?
The following is a show command.

Hi,
the card which u are using supports Data .
you need to have VIC cards like VIC2-2BRI-NT/TE for Voice to work.

SS7 transport and T-CCS

I need to interconnect two Class-IV switches (SS7 signaling) via two AS5350.
I would like to know how to transport SS7 signaling between two AS5350 (via transparent CCS.?)
Thank you.

hi,
try this :
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/tech/tk652/tk653/technologies_tech_note09186a00800a96c1.shtml
But i don't think it's going to work with asxxx. We were obliged tu use 3660 with nm-hdv-2e1-60 to transport the C7 signalling between both switches.

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash wmode transparent based

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash with wmode transparent set. For that matter all flash text fields in Safari 5.1 are not working accross the web when wmode is set to transparent. This is a Safari bug! Other browsers work fine.
Well after much research Adobe flash text field with wmode transparent set is not working in Safari 5.1 when any flash object has the wmode set to "transparent", or "opaque". The problem is many site must layer flash objects with html so the wmode transparent must be used.
Affecting sites like BEST BUY, WALMART, CVS, STAPLES, Chechout their flash based weekly ads and find one that you need to update the quantity in the flash pop-up and the text field with keyboard strokes will not work. Flash text fields were all working fine until several month ago when Safari rolled out 5.1 working for Google Voice Flash based widget which uses the wmode transparent. HELP!

E1 to E1 DTI voice 30 channel transparent connection through WAN

Hello ,
I want to connect an E1 to E1 DTI voice 30 channel transparent connection through WAN
PSTN---E1 (router) Wan --- Wan (router) E1---PBX
Anyone can help with the above configuration?
I want the E1 connection to be transparent from the PSTN to the PBX for full voice usage.

That's about it, but you will also need to add the additional trunk to the existing trunk.dat file on the PGW.

Asa 5505 transparent firewall issue

hi i am having uc560 with voice and data vlan and i am having 3560 layer3 switch and my network is working fine the dhcp for voice and data both are running in uc560.
now i add asa 5505 between uc560 and switch in transparent mode means from uc560 to asa 5505 outside interface and from asa inside interface to switch,
i conigured vlan1 -- inside and vlan 2 as outside in asa 5505
in my uc 560 data is vlan 1 and my voice is vlan 100.
when i connect my network with transparent mode firewall no dhcp amd no phones are working . but if i remove asa and i connect with uc560 to switch everything is fine.
is there anyway to work multiple voice and data vlan in asa 5505 transparent mode.

hi rojas,
here is my problem,
my internet and voice all connected in the uc 560 so wat i am doing i am connecting firewall outside to uc 560 trunk port and the from inside to my switch.
when i connec to my switch it is giving message inconsistant vlan and it is port is blocked. and my phones are not working.
my data vlan1 is 192.168.123.x
and my voice vlan100 is 10.1.1.x
and the firewall ip 192.168.123.3

No transparent keyboard on iPad Air

Hi. I just bought a new iPad Air. Updated to latest ios 7.0.4
And I also own an iPhone 5. Updated to latest iOS 7.0.4.
But in my iPhone the keyboards are transparent and gives a cool blur effect
of the colours in the background.
Both black keyboard for spotlight and the white keyboard are transparent.
But the keyboards in my iPad are not transparent. They are opaque
And doesn't give any background colour blur effect.
Increase contrast and reduce motion settings are turned off in my ipad.
But when I run iPhone apps in my iPad. (Sandboxed with black borders.)
In those apps. I get the transparent keyboards.
How do I get the transparent keyboard in my iPad throughout the OS.
I like the effect in my iPhone and would really love to see it on my iPad as well.
Thank you.

The iWatch s/w is one small app. No big deal.
I have no problems with voice navigation on iOS 8.2.
I believe that your problem may be that you have the WiFi only iPad which gets its location from nearby WiFi routers that it sees and which are in Apple's router location database. If it does not see routers it does not know where it is. This would prevent voice navigation from working.

Voice Messaging: Cannot enable v8.1 per "accepted ...

Community:
I have (2-1/2) issues working in unision, and I need some divine intervention from the Microsoft Godz.
Issue 1) Skype "New desktop" windows 8.1 version. I can "enable" Voicemail, but have no ability to configure ring time, greeting, etc. In other words the "accepted Solution" screenshot of a "laptop" with "enable" button then all the configurable options do not exist for me. Only SMS messages.
WORKAROUND: Installed the "Windows Desktop" Vesion from the Skype website - I could then use the "Tools" feature and set it all up. AKa looked like the Win7 version.
Issue 2) The 1st call i make - works FINE. The 2nd time my Lumina 925 rings and voicemail no longer works.
Sooooo how do i get voice mail to work across the board? how do I get vm options to show up in the 8.1 web interface?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you do a search around this forum and around the web you'll find lots of complaints about Skype's voice mail -- especially, on Windows Phone. For reasons that neither Skype nor Microsoft have made public, voice mail does not work in Skype on Windows Phone (there is no voice mail access functionality) and, to make matters worse, if you are signed in to Skype on a Windows Phone device it seems to disable Skype voice mail functionality completely (i.e., unanswered Skype calls will not roll over to voice mail on any device, including PC, iOS or Android). It's very frustrating (especially, the lack of any explanation from Skype/Microsoft) and essentially makes Skype unusable on a Windows Phone device if voice mail functionality is important to you.
At this point it seems the only solution to the issue, if you want Skype voice mail to work, is to make sure you are signed out of Skype on your Windows Phone device. That way, Skype voice mail will function properly on PC, iOS, and Android devices: unanswered Skype calls will roll over to voice mail, you'll get an email notification of a voice mail (if you have enabled that option), you'll get an in-app notification of voice mail, and you'll be able to play the voice mail in-app. This assumes that they do not cripple the Skype client on these other OSs like it is on Windows Phone OS. They did try to remove voice mail from the iOS client back in June (describing it as an "improved" client), but there were so many complaints that they added it back immediately.
It would be nice if Skype/Microsoft was more transparent about why they are doing this and where they are going with Skype. Right now, with the crippled Windows Phone client and their constant attempts to remove functionality from other OS clients, all they're doing is causing folks who depend on (and *pay* for via SkypeIn numbers) voice mail to look for other solutions.

Setting up a Voice call from ONT/OLT to Softswitch via SBC

Hi,
I am setting up a voice call over SBC to softswitch basically SIP over ISUP,now i have a small issue that my SIP user is getting registerd at both SBC and Softswitch and able make OG/IC calls.
Now my question is whether will i be able to ping the client ip from SBC,since i am not able ping the client ip.is there any firewall restriction at OLT/ONT side.

Hi HW,
The PBX is a Panasonic TA308. There is no special interface to the PBX, the line port on the SPA3102 is simply plugged into an extension, like another phone. Anyone calling that extension will have the call routed through the SPA & PAP2 to the remote phone.
The whole setup is totally seamless, & transparent to the user. As we are on a local network there is virtually no latency. There is a slight tendancy to echo, but the echo suppression mostly takes care of that.
THis has been a good exercise, and once I got my head around what I was trying to do, with your help, it was pretty easy. I think the hook flash timing would be the thing which gives most users a problem, as it seems to vary widely around the world. I was surprised at the difference between the US and NZ (.1 & .9 to .07 & .13). There didn't seem to be any other critical differences.
Now I am the local expert on VoIP "In the Kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is King."

Passing voice and data Vlans on Cisco SG200-08P help

Hello All,
I'm struggling with a configuration issue on the Cisco SG200-08P.
We are using the Cisco SG200-08P on a mobile cart that will go from class room to class room that will have computer and cisco Voip phone plugged into it. The issue is that each of our closets are in differnt VLANS ( 1 voice and 1 data....lets say data vlan 20 and voice vlan 2025 for conversation) and that we route to each closet.
It would be great if I could just create a generic data and voice vlan to dynamically pick up what the upstream switch has however, it seems that I've been unsuccessful in doing so.
So far I can pass the data Vlan no probablem. The upstream switch port is set to access port and a switch port access voice vlan (these are 3750x switches)
If the above is not possible I guess I will take what I can get. Should I just create data vlan 20 and voice vlan2025 on the Cisco SG200-08P and make a trunk port on the Cisco SG200-08P and a trunk on the 3750x? Is there an option on the Cisco SG200-08P to tag voice traffic?
I'm also concerned with VTP and I did not see an area in the Cisco SG200-08P to set that as a client and transparent mode.
Thanks for any help,
Dan

On a Catalyst switch, when a port is defined as a trunk without a vlan specified on the port, all vlan pass through the port. On a small business switch it is nearly the opposite. You must specify the vlans on the links. Additionally, ingress filter discards anything not associated to the port.
802.1q specifies there must be an untagged vlan which is the native vlan (of course you can make exceptions, tagging the default vlan..).
One thing I did in the past with a 2960, I made an LLDP network policy and it basically "provisioned" the downstream switch connecting link and voice vlan. That may be another idea for you.
Here's a link that may be useful-

Making star fields: Transparent layers for stars made with noise?

I'm trying to do what David Bogie described here:
David Bogie, "How can you create a flying through space effect?" #4, 16 Jul 2008 7:28 am. But I'm a real newbie in AE (I have 6.0 and have owned it for years but only used it about twice or so - I do everything else in PPro), so I'm getting stumped on basics. What kind of layer should I do this with? The choices in 6.0 are Text, Solid, Light, Camera, Null Object, and Adjustment Layer. I tried a solid black layer, but it is indeed very solid - when I make a second one, the first is never seen again. Null Object and Adjustment layers don't seem to respond when I put the noise and threshold effect pair on them, so they are apparently the wrong type for this. There seems to be no such thing as a Transparent layer type, or is there?
A secondary question (sorry to put two questions in one post, but it's probably simple) is about the threshold effect. It seems that the result is either pure white or pure black - I started with noise of varying lightnesses and even color, but when I use threshold to thin it out (to make it more like stars), the result is only bright white dots and nothing else, no matter what threshold level I choose. Am I missing something simple?

Sorry, Thomas, I thought you were the one who was frustrated - it sounded like you felt I needed to either upgrade or study the basics on my own before attempting something like this. And I wasn't belittling older versions; I thought you were. Don't ya just hate that lack of voice inflection and facial expressions that you get in online communication...! Okay, onward.
I read about the Pan Behind Tool before (if you start searching for "anchor point" and "position" it comes right up), but then, as now, I don't understand how it works with layers that have already been moved out of whack. And since my last post I have done way more to my comp: To try to reduce the afore-mentioned problem while still getting a variety of star patterns in my layers, I made all the positions 360x240 (which is the same as what I left the anchor points at) and introduced rotation instead - that didn't solve it, but it looked a little better. Then I decided that the time before the earth appeared was kinda boring, so I learned about parenting, made two of the star layers children of the third one, and bezier'ed some position and rotation action to the parent, so that it will look like the viewer's ship is changing direction as it's flying, and then when it steadies its heading, earth begins to appear. It's not bad - the flying motion takes your attention off the layer discrepancy. But when I showed it to my husband, who had conceived the original idea of this sort of video for the song intro, he instantly noticed the relative motion without me mentioning it - he didn't know what to call it, but commented that my stars seemed to be moving around. Yup! I am now convinced that it's not just anchor points, but the fact that the scale is different on the three layers. I even tried adjusting the rates of change of the scale to be the same on all layers (2X over the course of a period of time - one is 100->200, another is 60->120, and the third is 50->100), but they still move funny. Oh, well. So I finally just rid of the keyframes on the two child tracks altogether and let the parent do all the enlarging. I don't know how that differs from having each layer enlarge the same ratio over the same course of time, but somehow it is - the funny movement is gone. Unfortunately that eliminated the final thing that made the layers different - the current result could have been achieved simply with three layers in Photoshop. I would have liked to have "closer" layers enlarging faster than "farther" ones (that's the reason for multiple layers in the first place), but if they won't do so from the center point, it's just too weird. I have spent a whole day working on 18 seconds of video - I need to move on to the rest of my project.
Okay, now to address Andrew's post, which came in when this post was almost ready to send (I learned my lesson and checked before actually sending!). That's my kind of tutorial! In one sitting he teaches several techniques, effects, tools, unnumerable keyboard shortcuts, etc. Often when I watch a tutorial video, I learn just one thing in ten minutes, but this guy packs in the information. I will have to be careful to sort out what I can do and what I can't - I have 6.0 Standard, and he has Pro of some newer version (I don't know how new, but he was able to make great-looking stars in seconds using fractal noise, an effect I don't seem to have). As for using his idea directly, it had occurred to me that zooming in closer than I am would be cool, but I don't have any images for that. Do you know where one would get satellite images like that? Google Earth is copyrighted material, even though I assume the images it uses are not.
Wow, I learned a lot today - thanks to both of you for pointing me in good directions. AE is not as intimidating as it was yesterday! :-)

Comment rendre un texte transparent sur un fond coloré ?

Bonjour,
je ne parviens pas dans Fireworks et/ou Photoshop à rendre un texte transparent sur un fond coloré, de façon a ce que le texte intégre le motif de l'arrière plan.
voici un exemple :
Comment faire ??
Merci par avance

Are you using photoshop or photoshop elements?
In photoshop you could use the Knockout option in the Blending Options and then set the Fill Opacity to Zero.

Rendre transparent une ligne avec une combinaison d'objets (pathfinder?)

Bonjour,
Je souhaitera rendre transparent une ligne avec une combinaison d'objets.
Voici un exemple, avec une image c'est toujours plus facile à comprendre:
Je souhaiterai que le trait noir soit transparent afin de voir le rectangle rouge, donc rendre transparent le rectangle bleu à la place du trait noir
J'ai essayé toutes les options dans le Pathfinder, en vain ....
Merci de votre aide !

Je te remercie de ta réponse rapide
Effectivement je m'en doutais.... Le problème c'est que l'image en question est assez complexe ....
Rendre transparent le bateau afin d'avoir la couleur grise qui sera un support en toile .... (toile grise d'un restaurant)
Du coup soit je tente ton idée mais ca va me prendre pas mal de temps ...
Soit je le rempli avec un gris qui se rapproche de l'original, mais ca risque de ne pas faire propre.
Soit je simplifie le bateau.
Je vais y refflechir ... Si vous avez des idées
