Re: [Asterisk-Users] hardware question
what we needed and I want to ask if I understand the naming correctly: FXS = pstn-signals for calling someone (towards central pbx/server) and knowing that someone is calling you FXO = ...? FXS has a phone plugged in it FXO hgas a phone line plugged in it http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2003/07/03/asterisk.html http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2004/01/22/asterisk2.html http://asteriskdocs.org ATA = connecting potstelephone to lan/computer/... other protocol Yes What I don't understand is that ATA-devices which only have an FXS-port are also able to recieve calls or not? So, what is the difference with an FXO-interface? Read the specs for the sipura 3000 for example at their site So, since for now we'll only need to be able to talk to one pots line (and one bri-line), we'll need one FXS-interface (to recieve siand you need 1 FXO I've had a look at the digium hardware-store since I wanted to be sur eit will work with asterisk. For pstn, I suppose a TDM400P with one FXS and one FXO module(?). I also saw the Asterisk Developpers kit PCI which fullfils these requirements, which states that it is only for Asterisk-developpers. Anyone can buy one, it just was a good bundle for test. I saw that on the page of the Asterisk Developpers kit PCI it states that one needs linux 2.4. I have asterisk 1.0.6 installed on this computer and it seems to have drivers for 2.6. So, the question: does the hardware works with linux 2.6.x-kernels? It definitely works, but there are some issues that someone who has done it may be able to discuss. Otherwise, search the mailing list using google: bri card site:lists.digium.com 2.6 kernel site:lists.digium.com and any other search expressions you can think of. Do the same without the site: parameter too, replacing it with asterisk. googling asterisk bri card brings up a lot of interesting stuff as does asterisk 2.6 hth ___ 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

Hi Michel, Michel Brabants wrote: I didn't see a bri-adapter on the digium-site, only pri it seems. Any recommendation on that or is there a bri-adapter from digium. I'm also open to other vendors. I saw that there are others which ar ecompatible with asterisk, but I don't have a lot of time and want to be sure that it works with asterisk. My personal recommendations are: - For a one-port BRI-Card: choose one with a HFC-S chip (e. g. Acer ISDN 128 Surf PCI) - For multi-port BRI: have a look at www.beronet.com and www.junghanns.net You can use all this cards with bristuff from www.junghanns.net I have had a look at the mISDN-hardwarepage. I suppose I can choose any bri-card that is supported by them? Is mISDN supported by asterisk? There is a chan_mISDN driver from beronet. But as far as I can tell, it is not very stable. I use bristuff for all our BRI cards - no problems.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 03/25/2005 09:14:42 AM: Hello I want to to know if the motherboards VIA are fully supporte by asterisk. This is a complex question. The *software* is fully supported. Depending on the CPU you use, you may have to modify the makefiles (some VIA CPU's do not implement the CMOV instruction), but with that change the software will work just fine. However, Digium *hardware* is a different story. The TDM and X100P boards require that the card be placed on its own interrupt. Interrupts are scarce on a VIA platform: there's no IO-APIC, and there's a lot of integrated hardware. It is doable, however. I'm using a TDM board with a VIA EPIA-MII board with zero problems. No clicks, no static, nothing. I'm even sharing an interrupt (the TDM board and an unused (and AFAICT not-diableable) Cardbus controller), and still no problems. However, YMMV... And also, some of those motherboars say that with 1 pci slot , using a special riser card you can connect 2 pci cards. Will that work to have 2 pci cards (FXS or FXO ) on asterisk? Again, a complex question. The short answer is yes, the dual riser in and of itself will not cause a problem. The long answer is that it is highly unlikely that you'll find an interrupt for it. I have the dual riser and the second port wants to use an interrupt that already has a couple of devices on it, including the Ethernet interface. So, that's probably not possible on my system. The really annoying part is that my system has *SIX* unused interrupts: 3,4,6,10,11 and 13. Now I know that two of those are traditionally used by legacy devices (math coprocessor and floppy controller), but what about 3,4,10 and 11?!? I can find no way to get the computer to use those IRQ's. Everything's onboard, so changing PCI slots is not possible. It's frustrating. 15 interrupts is not exactly a lot, but when you ignore nearly half of them, it's real hard to use your motherboard...
