It also is a demultiplexer. It depends only on which direction you are looking from. From a E1, it is a demultiplexer. >Can I use any?

First, you need to get FXO ports for the converting of the POTS lines to E1 to be imported into asterisk. Then you need one with FXS ports to be connected to asterisk to drive analog extensions. You may want to make a smaller step first. Check with your telco and see if they will drop a E1 into your location to replace the 30 POTS lines. If so, they may even provide a channel bank to ease the transition. You may even be able to get them to either lease it to you, or give it to you for a certain contract length. This would reduce your needs to get started as you are only looking at a single DA conversion and less signalling problems. Also you put the cost off onto your telco for part of the install. Your E1 hopefully is cheaper than 30 POTS lines if you are close to a CO. > Thanks in advance > Ricardo Saar Gemignani > Porto Alegre - RS - Brazil > > ___ > Asterisk-Users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] About Channel Banks
Make sure that you don't have a R2 signalling. Since then you'll have problems EuroISDN PRI is all right.

[Asterisk-Users] About Channel Banks
Hello I'm starting to learn about Asterisk and trying to install the first one. I've a doubt. Here in Brazil the Telecom Standards uses E1. So, I'll use a Wildcard E100P to inter-connect with 30 POTS. Should I use a Channel Bank or simply a Multiplexer? Whats the difference between a channel bank and a multiplexer?? Can I use any? The real question is: How to connect Analog Phones to Asterisk using by output an E1?
