[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk as office PBX

[Lee Cremeans]

We're running a T1-based system here (8 incoming lines, 7 of which are in a
rollover group through our telco, 1 of which is our fax line) with a set of
10 Cisco 7940s and a 7960 with the SIP firmware, and so far Asterisk and the
T100P have worked great, modulo a few problems with slightly dodgy hardware
(the machine we originally wanted to put the PBX on didn't like the T100P
very much). We're running * on a P3-733, and it seems to handle the load
just fine.

In the near future, we're planning to add another T1 (to go to a Vina T1
Integrator that we plan to use as a channel bank for incoming analog
calls...long story), and another FXS module on our TDM400 (Freshmaker) card.
Hopefully, it'll go well.

Hello,

I would like to make sure I am not going to shoot myself in the head, so
I would appreciate if you could tell me if what I am willing to do is
realistic (and will work) or not.

I am willing to replace our office "London" phone system when a new E1
(G703) is installed later this month and I have the choice between using
asterisk or a more classical hardware PBX.

The planned asterisk topology is : The E1 will connect to asterisk and
asterisk will connect to our LAN where we will have 14 SIP phone
installed.

I want to make sure that a P4 1GHz with 512 Mb and a E100P card will be
able to handle the load and be stable ...

Any testimonial of people having implemented that setting and being
happy with it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Thomas Mangin
