Do these cards play nicely > with Linux (2.6 kernel) and Asterisk? Any tips/tricks/pitfalls? Actually the V-4BRI should be more expensive than the 4BRI. The 'V' does mean Voice, but this card has more Voice-features besides the standard 4BRI DSP features (I think it's G.723). But this does not matter when using with Asterisk and chan_capi currently. Both cards support RTP, which can be used to bridge a call directly to a SIP phone where the Diva card is doing all the necessary stuff (codecs, jitter, echo-cancel). But this feature is not yet implemented into chan_capi yet (due to lack of time and the Asterisk API does not really help). Anyway, for Asterisk you can use both cards with the same features.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Eicon Diva Server query
These cards are very good, the only problem is the price... I bought one Diva Server 4BRI for 1300 Euros... its a lot...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Eicon Diva Server query
Hey guys, I just wanted to thank everyone (particularly Armin) for the assistance with my new Eicon Diva. I installed it into a new Asterisk 1.2 box this weekend and the installation was simple and painless, thanks to all your input. If anyone else is considering one of these cards, let me just say that the installation on CentOS 4.2 (RHEL4 clone) was incredibly simple: The source code RPM installed and compiled with no problems, the ./Config script found my card and set everything up for me. All up, loading CentOS 4.2, downloading ~200mb of updates (I only had the 4.1 CDs, so yum did a LOT of upgradeing), the Eicon Diva drivers, Asterisk 1.2 (with chan_capi-cm) and Asterisk Management Portal only took 3 hours from start to fully configured finish. :) cYa, Avi -- National Manager - Special Projects < Sydney / Melbourne / Canberra / Hobart / London /> Walter Turnbull Bldg T: +61 (0) 2 6233 0607 44 Sydney Ave, F: +61 (0) 2 6233 0696 Forrest, W: http://www.squiz.net/ ACT 2603 .>> Open Source - Own it - Squiz.net ./> ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
