[Asterisk-Users] Channel bank question

[Alexander Lopez]

Daylight Saving Time confused me as well!!!

I'll make it simple:

FXO ports connect to a phone company line, can be referred to as
"O"ffice

FXS ports connect to a phone device, can be referred to as "S"tation


What kind of features do you want in a channel bank? Not many!!  Good
channel banks are pretty simple devices. I prefer and recommend an
Adtran 750. It has modules that you can change between FXS and FXO. I
would look on EBAY for one with 3 FXO cards and 3 FXS cards, that will
give you 12 Office lines and the ability to connect 12 analog devices to
it as well.

Hi all,

Quick question regarding channel banks, I managed to confuse myself ( 
monday...daylight saving time...no coffee ).

If I have 10 copper wires coming in from the phone company, and I want 
to get a channel bank that will turn those into a t1 to feed into an * 
box with appropriate hardware, do I want an FXS or FXO channel bank?

While I'm at it:  Are there specific features I should be looking for?  
Is there a specific company everyone's had good luck with?  Any 
recommendations on this or otherwise?

Thank you.

Sean
