<div>More good ideas. I am leaning toward T1 chaining. Although the Adtran Atlas 550 idea seems completely viable as well. Thanks again guys for the great advice.</div>

<br>><br>> I am looking to use 1 T1 (PRI) to split between 3 systems. Let me<br>> give you an idea of what we are talking about:<br>> 1. Asterisk PBX that runs our internal business phone system, (4
<br>> Lines) using a TE12OP digium card with the T1 and VoIP for the<br>> internal communication.<br>> 2. Asterisk Voicemail system using VoIP for inbound and outbound<br>> to a gateway that is attached to the T1, (4 Lines) (Possibly the
<br>> Asterisk system in 1???) RIght now there is no card only ethernet.<br>> (Althoug I do have a 4 line digium analog card if that makes it<br>> easier.)<br>> 3. A Hylafax system running as a Efax platform for commerical
<br>> purposes. (4 to 8 lines) Using a Digium Te220 card attached to the<br>> same T1.<br>><br>> Now for the questions. Does this even sound feasible? Can I split<br>> the T1 between the 3 devices?
<br>> Can the Asterisk system in 1 be a POTS to VoIP gateway for<br>> the second asterisk system? I would be willing to use the analog<br>> card if that last scenerio isnt possible, but what do I use to
<br>> break the analog lines off the T1? I already have the 2nd system<br>> developed and running in a production environment, the other 2 are<br>> in development.<br>><br>> Any ideas are welcome.
<br>> Nate<br>><br>><br>> All 3 are good ideas. I already have all the hardware I mentioned so<br>> saving money on cards at this point isn't really the focus. Also for<br>> the same reasons combining the 3 servers into one seems a little
<br>> risky, I would hate to bring down my 2 core products because I made a<br>> change to my internal PBX system. (The thought of my customers trying<br>> to call into my office because their voicemail and fax systems are
<br>> not working and reaching a fast busy is quite scary! But it is great<br>> to know that it works!) I do like the idea of using a quad card to<br>> chain the systems to other T1 cards. My guess is that is going to
<br>> produce the lowest latency and the cleanest calls. I beleive we are<br>> going the SIP route internally for the PBX system but because of<br>> issues with Fax and VoIP the voicemail and fax system have to be
<br>> straight T1. As for TDMoE I am not aware of what this is. Time for a<br>> little googling to look into that. Thanks for all of your ideas. I am<br>> glad to see that I am not completely off base.<br>> Nate
<br>><br>Unless your systems are not all together on a local network, I don't<br>believe chaining the TDM hardware will produce a better call than SIP or<br>IAX for voice or voicemail. I definitely understand on the FAX, but I
<br>believe that could be done with iaxmodem as well.<br><br>Mike Clark<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>--Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by <a href="http://www.api-digital.com--">http://www.api-digital.com--
