[Asterisk-Users] IP FXS channel bank

[el Flynn]

Hi there,

I'm trying to get hold of an evaluation IP-enabled FXS channel bank. I'm not 
sure if it's more a channel bank, or should be called a multiport-ATA. Oh well.

On the surface it looks quite nice - 16 FXS ports, and since it's connected to 
the network I can do away with an E1/T1 connection required of the normal 
channel banks (if it can be called that :)

Here are some features I got from the brochure:

1. MGCP, H.323 (v4) and SIP support
2. Selectable, multiple codes (g711/g723/g729A) per channel
3. G.168/165-compliant adaptive echo cancellation
4. Echo canceller jitter buffer, VAD and CNG
5. complete voice band signalling support
6. provides inband/outband DTMF generation/detection
7. provides call progress tones
8. web management interface
9. LAN (10/100) and WAN RJ-45 ports

What should I be looking for when I'm testing the unit? Anyone can offer some 
hints as to what I need to look out for?

I know voice quality should be something to look at, especially when all 
channels are in use. What else should I be looking out for?

Cheers,
Flynn
