Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk to PSTN
What about a PRI/BRI solution We have a few with the voicetronix openline 4 cards and they work ok But the PRI solution work better.We have a 4 port sangoma configured like that.If I recall you set it to pri_net instead of pri_cpe and you use a cross cable On Tue, 2005-08-09 at 10:59 -0700, Edwin Lam wrote: > hi folks. > > i'm planning to connect * to 120 POTS line. i've done some research > on FXO cards but unfortunately most manufacturers only make 4 ports/card. > the most i've found is 12 ports. so do i have to get 10 of these cards > and setup 3 Asterisk servers (assuming each have 4 free PCI slots) link > them together with some insane dialplan? or is there an easier way? > > any suggestions? comments? remarks? parameters? > thx. -- Thanks Altus Snyman Stormcorp Network Solutions +27 11 8071141 exten 301 ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Sure, that would work, all 20 of them, which considering they only support 10Mbit ethernet may get kind of crowded (depending on any other traffic and hardware). I think the channel bank route will be the best overall and quite probably cheaper and easier to maintain. My experience is that most channel banks out there are T1 interface (24 channels), but there are some E1 channel banks too which you would only require 4 of. -- -Bryce [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOTICE: The views expressed in this e-mail do not neccesarily reflect those of my employer, this company, or its employees.

Get a T1/E1 card. They come in 4 port (TE4xxP series) and 1 port (TE110P) flavors. You then connect each of those ports to a 24 FXO port channel bank. So, to do the math, get a 4-port card and a 1-port card taking up only 2 PCI slots. You attach 5 24-port channel banks to them. And no, you don't need to punch a gaping hole in your wall snaking 120 phone lines into your office. I'm sure there are better scenarios than this.

Sure, get channel banks. Channel banks take a t1 and break it down to fxo or fxs ports. You can get an Adit 600 that will handle at least 48 ports. You can 4 t1 port cards or 1 t1 port cards. Digium or Sangoma are popular. Sangoma will have the 8 t1 (a108) port ready in 6 to 8 weeks. With echo cancellation.

You're going about things all wrong if you're looking at 120 FXO lines. In such high quantities, you want to look at either 5 FXO channel banks connected to a quad-port and a single-port T1 card[s], or, more sensibly with that many lines, order 5 T1s (24 channels each), or a T2 (96 channels) and a T1 (24), or a T3 (672 channels) from your carrier (all of which require the same number of ports.) If you can't get away from 120 copper pairs, then you'll have to go the channel bank route. -- -Bryce [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOTICE: The views expressed in this e-mail do not neccesarily reflect those of my employer, this company, or its employees.
