Re: X100P mod or USB relay box, RE: [Asterisk-Users] Line Override Device

2003-07-14 Thread Anthony Wood
The Voicetronix Openline6 and Openline12 cards have the functionality you want built 
in.
You can configure (jumpers) which ports are FXO and which are FXS (in groups of 2 
IIRC) and 1st FXO
goes to 1st FXS etc. in case of power failure.

Apparently these cards work with Asterisk (chan_vpb).

I think cost is AU$1500 and AU$3000 for 6 and 12.

cheers,
Wooody

How so? I assume you're talking about scale and not
reliability. We get a relatively small number of calls
but any one of them could be worth a large stack of
cash for our business. A stinky phone system can make
us look bad.
The main reason I'm looking at Asterisk is to improve
the reliability and control over our phone system.
All the other great things it provides really are
secondary for the folks who pay my salary.



Only if you aren't pulling power from the USB bus. There isn't much
there.
There may be just enough depending on how many relays are needed,
but it would be too close. I agree, better off not trying to get
power from there.
I do like the idea of some kind of watchdog functionality. Simply
having power isn't sufficient to trust that a call is getting
routed.
