We are planning to do an * install in an apartment building, this building is going to require somewhere in the vacinity of 20 E1 lines (each with 30 voice channels). Short of buying 20 Servers with Digium cards, what are my options in having the E1 lines terminate on some other hardware and then having the calls passed through to Asterisk to perform the PBX type functionality ?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] VOIP Gateways Asterisk
My problem is that this installation is most likely to occur prior to the release of the new card (and definitely prior to it's vigorous testing in the field). If anyone can give me ideas at this point it would be appreciated. Callum Dpto.

There are a number of cisco routers that will do the job for you but they are not cheap eg AS5350 8 E1's AS5400 16 E1's or other normal routers such as 3660's will support upto 4 E1'e Jason ___ 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
Re: [Asterisk-Users] VOIP Gateways Asterisk
We do some least cost routing and pass calls to a Cisco AS5300 and are looking at also using a Lucent TNT. It's just a matter of setting up the dial plan in extensions.conf The cisco is using h323 and if the client does SIP the protocol conversion is done on the * box, otherwise it is basicaly just a hand off.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] VOIP Gateways Asterisk
You might look into the Lucent TNT's, they do SIP/MGCP (with the Hash codes, os 10.1.xx+), and also terminate modem calls. They are cheap (check ebay, www.qualitek.net) and their are loads of them out there. One TNT will handle your requirements easily, their is an example on the wiki on how to use a TNT with asterisk, and it works properly. I used Asterisk to talk to them via SIP, didn't try mgcp but it should work fine. Regards Michael Baird Hi all, I was just wondering if someone could help me with info on VOIP Gateways.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] VOIP Gateways Asterisk
Another option is the AudioCodes Mediant 2000 devices. I have one with 8 T1/E1 ports, one with 4 ports, and one with 1 port. You can also get up to 16 ports, and there is a 2-port model as well. I am using SIP with them, but I think you can use H.323 with a different firmware. I am using them in a different application than you, but they are standard SIP, and they seem to work great. Just another choice. -- Dana ___ 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
RE: [Asterisk-Users] VOIP Gateways Asterisk
You could just buy 5 servers with the 4 port E1 card. That might be cheaper.

First of all, one has to ask why you need PBX functionality at all? As this is an apartment building, won't the tennants be looking for PSTN dial-tone, rather than local (PBX) dial-tone? Assuming that there is something missing here... You could treat this as a hospitality (hotel) type environment, but would certainly have to allow for a lower station:trunk ratio. Still, the thing to do would be to deploy channel banks (Adtran, Adit, etc.) that would be aggregated into the number of E1 ports on your * box required to handle the projected traffic. In other words, you will not encounter a condition where every station will be in use at the same time, so you don't need that many DS0's (channels, if you will) at the PBX. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
