Re: [Asterisk-Users] ISDN Hardware

Have a look at http://www.sirrix.de/content/pages/pci4s0.htm
Currently they don't have an english website but in short this card 
offers 4 Ports (8 Channels) and you are able to define the mode for each 
channel (PtmP, PtP, TE, NT) on your own. They have asterisk-drivers 
available (for Kernel 2.4) and what is very interesting about this card 
is, that if you have ISDN-Telephones in your environment you can connect 
them not only ti the astersik but when there is a connecten ISDN 
(internal) -- asterisk -- ISDN (external) then this will happen 
without asterisk beeing directly involved because these calls are 
connected through on the hardware without any echo-problems from 
transcoding the audio. All asterisk features are usable with this card 
including Fax based on spanDSP.

The price is at around EUR 500,-

between the X100P and the Adtran terminal adaptor.
I am not sure of the proper terms but on the PSTN side of the Adtran
there is one pair of wires which carry two channels.  On the interior
side of the Adtran there are two pairs of wires which each carry one
channel (is this a BRI channel??).
In the final install I will be replacing the X100P with some type of
ISDN card.  I currently have three ISDN pairs which create six lines. 
I would like to get enough hardware to be able to add one more pair of
lines soon.

My question is what type of ISDN card do I need?
Will this replace the Adtran or plug into it?
Since this is all digital is it a safe assumption that my echo
problems will be gone?
Thanks,
Jeff

 This is in the United States

The only Asterisk supported ISDN BRI hardware, that works in the states
are CAPI based active ISDN cards, like Eicon Diva Server cards.

The problem is, that the protocols used in the US are different, from
what commonly is used in Europe (EuroISDN / DSS1)

[Asterisk-Users] ISDN Hardware

I have a test install set up as follows

Probably, but it could also be far end echo. These are hard to get rid of.

 side of the Adtran there are two pairs of wires which each carry one

A BRI has two voice (or generic data) channels (two B channels) and one 
signalling channel (the D channel).

 ISDN card.  I currently have three ISDN pairs which create six lines.

You will not *cause* any echo, especially not to the far en customer. The 
far en customer may still cause an echo which you will hear. The VoIP step 
to the phone may bring the echo from nice sounding sidetone to nasrt echo. 
The built in echo canceller may help if this is a problem.
