[App_rpt-users] Old/Incompatible Hardware??

Thu Oct 8 06:40:41 UTC 2015

Your hardware should be ok.   I have an old mini-itx running a VIA 
800mhz processor 
(http://www.mini-box.com/s.nl/it.A/id.332/.f?sc=8&category=12) that I've 
setup to use as a test system (lcd display has long since died, and I 
currently have it's case off).  With 128 megs of ram and a hard disk 
with a generous amount of swap, I can run asterisk just fine on a custom 
install of debian that I did a while ago.  (I compiled my own copy of 
asterisk and patched DAHDI from source for use with allstar and normally 
sits between 0.08 and 0.20% cpu utilization after it boots and gets a 
call.   Since the CPU is odd, I overrode the CPU detection settings 
telling it to compile for a 486 target vice 686 and it works just fine.)

Try a different network card as well as checking your connections.  The 
NIC might be dying, have a cable improperly seated (or the cable is 
bad), etc.  Also, make sure don't have any QOS settings that are 
interfering with the data streams either (prioritizing other traffic 
over that of the IAX2 protocol which would likely be classified under 
the miscellaneous category for traffic).

Have you tried connecting via SIP vice IAX2 to the box? The stanza setup 
is almost identical and your dialplan won't need any modification.

Have you tried to connect to it from the AllStar Telephone portal?
