[Asterisk-Users] Quintum Tenor DX

[Rana Dutt]

Has anyone used a Quintum Tenor DX to send SIP calls from Asterisk to T1
trunks and vice versa? If this works, there may be some advantages over
plugging a Digium Quad T1 card directly into the * server. For example, it
offloads the * server from doing the SIP to TDM conversion, which may result
in a higher number of calls per second. Also, if the * server dies, a hot
spare could take over and connect to the Tenor to keep the T1 connectivity
up.

The only cons I can think of are the increased cost of the Tenor compared to
the Quad T1 card and the increased traffic on the LAN. But at a site that
requires 8 T1s, the improved throughput and redundancy could outweigh these
cons.
