CMS:Kercheep
Kercheep is a computer that lives in the 1XB. It runs Debian Linux and performs several important functions for the museum. Kercheep is administrated by Sarah and Matt.
History
Kercheep was originally a much older PC named "tray", which was set up by æstrid Smith in the early 2010s. Sarah later upgraded it, and renamed it to "kercheep" after a birdlike sound made by a tandem switch connecting a call over 2600hz supervised trunks.
It contains two T1 cards with 4 spans each, for a total of 8 T1 spans, or 192 voice channels.
It is running a custom kernel, compiled by Matt, and a custom version of Asterisk and DAHDI with the following notable modifications:
- hearpulsing is enabled
- Revertive Pulse signaling is supported
- Feature Group C CAMA has been patched to make 1XB ANI-B actually work (note this patch has since been merged into Asterisk main)
Functions
Kercheeps functions are as follows:
- runs panel_gen, the museum call simulator
- also provides an HTTP server and REST API for the call simulator controls
- runs Asterisk / DAHDI for interoffice trunking and tandem functions
