[App_rpt-users] Stuttering Audio

[Chuck Henderson]

I have several of these systems and have used the usb fob and the voter
board/RTCM's. I run the systems on Intel ATOM motherboards and have had no
problems due to the systems or the software.  But I have had problems
caused by network components.  One time I had what I can describe as
stuttering audio and I one by one tried rebooting devices including all
devices of the all star system, the network switches, and the network
router.  I did these one by one and allowed time between each and the
device that fixed the problem was one of the MikroTik router boards.  After
rebooting it the problem was solved.  6 months later the problem came back.
 This time I only rebooted the MikroTik router board and it fixed the
problem.

Don't blame the allstarlink system or the app_rpt or the centos system as
they are proven to work reliably for very long periods of time.  cheep
network switches and routers are the most likely cause of problems, and
even the expensive network switches and routers have been known to cause
these problems.
Also, if you are having problems with the Asterisk system crashing then
first look at the hardware that it is ruining on.  I play with just about
every feature that the system has and even try making it do thing that it
is not suppose to do and try pushing it to it's limits and it is very
solid.
