Oops sorry hadn't seen this - the specs are basically 2.8GHz CPU, 512MB RAM. I'm not sure what motherboard specs you want (its PCI 2.2 compliant of course) but its no special box. Just some clone we picked up for the equivalent of about USD400. It's got 6 PCI slots in total actually. We had to unplug power supply to the CDROM drive to get enough power for the FXS Cards, though. The reason I'm asking is because many of us have a lot of trouble with even two TDM cards in one machine... You've got six without any issue whatsoever and I'm trying to figure out your secret. :-) If you've got the exact motherboard make/model somewhere that would really help. -A. ___ 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

So if you think the server can handle 5 TDM400P cards let me know. I've done an installation with 5 TDM400P cards - 4 PSTN lines and 12 analog phones. There are no outstanding issues that havent been solved by tweaking a particular config option (e.g echo, callprogress issues etc...).

[Asterisk-Users] how to manage Digium TDM04B outgoing calls correctly
I'm installing my first Asterisk server. I have a TDM04B card installed in my asterisk server (4x FXO ports). I have 5 Cisco IP phone 7960 working fine on asterisk using SIP. My configuration to receive call is working as expected meaning anyone calling on one of the 4 FXO ports is answer by asterisk and asked to enter the extension of the person to reach and then it is transfer on the right Cisco phone. My question concern outgoing calls. How can I configure my extensions.conf to get a PSTN line on my TDM04B card in the following order : first trying on the channel 4 then if 4 is busy then switch to 3 if 3 is busy then switch to 2 and if 2 is busy then say there's no more line available. I don't want to dial on the first channel as it's my main number and all calls are received by that channel if the line isn't busy. I don't have to manage it for incoming calls (it can't be done anyway) as it's done not on my side but on the side of my provider (with the callforward on busy thing) but for outgoing calls the asterisk server must manage it. The only example I saw for outgoing calls were using only one FXO card (X100P I think) so I'm sure it's not that hard but I have no clue how to type it in asterisk. That brings me another question. I'm currently testing with one TDM04B card but once I'll switch our current PBX to Asterisk I'll be using over 30 Cisco 7960 phones and we have 12 PSTN lines so I was considering buying 2 more TDM04B cards and one TDM40B (to have 4 FXS ports to connect Fax machines) but with all the problems people seems to have with these cards I'm not sure anymore. Here's some specs of my server if that help answer the question : Motherboard Tyan S2875ANRF with dual opteron processors, 1GB RAM, dual Western Digital Raptor 74GB 1rpm running Fedora Core 3 AMD 64bits version. The motherboard comes with 5 PCI and 1 AGP slots so I would fill up all the slots with the cards. The server is an Antec 3U case with a 550W Power Supply. So if you think the server can handle 5 TDM400P cards let me know. If not what FXOs device I should purchased? I don't want to switch to PRI for now (I know it would be easier to setup that way) as will be moving to a new building in a year or so and don't want to invest on that for now (as there's only one PRI provider where we are currently) Any help would be appreciate :-) Thanks Martin Roy ___ 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
