Ahhh! sitting in a room next to a very noisy class of 8 year olds.
Headphones on, Van Halen debut album selected, hit Play, me smiling again.

@black3dynamite said in TPM module - what is it used for?:

I know with a Windows 10 desktop using Bitlocker, TPM makes it possible for us to not have to enter a password to boot into Windows. I do believe Hyper-V also utilize TPM has well.

Yeah, that's what TPM does, it's an hardware authentication mechanism so that the system only "runs as intended" (on the hardware it was setup).

Much like public and private ssh keys.

We reported to the carrier several times and they still never fixed it.

Like screaming at a hurricane makes it stop flooding your house, Verizon just doesn't care.

The TL;DR is it's a chip which is supposed to protect your system from unauthorized access, but has been marred with criticism since it's inception and implementation.

From the TPM Wiki; TPM is defined as Trusted Platform Module (TPM, also known as ISO/IEC 11889) is an international standard for a secure cryptoprocessor, a dedicated microcontroller designed to secure hardware through integrated cryptographic keys.

From another source it's explained as:

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a specialized chip on an endpoint device that stores RSA encryption keys specific to the host system for hardware authentication.

@BraswellJay Do you know if any of the remote callers were on speaker phone? I've had that cause issues, but generally speaking, having Echo Cancellation on fixes it.

@Dashrender said in VoIP echo issue ...:

why kind of firewall do you have?

I assume you meant "what kind of firewall do you have?" and this is irrelevant as the routing is working, he's just getting a lot of echo.

@BraswellJay another question I have are the people reporting this all speaking with the same remote location/customer etc or a variety of remote numbers?
