Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Channel bank question

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?

You need a channel bank that has at least 10 or 12 FXO ports.  I recommend
an Adtran 750 or 850.  You can get them on EBay for around $ 400 to 500. But
most are pre-configured with FXS. You will need to either switch some of
those card out.  Then you just put in a T110p card into the asterisk.  Also
if you get this C/B with 12 FXO you can have the other 12 with FXS for
normal analog extensions.


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
