[Asterisk-Users] ISDN / Analog

[Steve Totaro]

Phil,

 

It sounds like your carrier is just using a channel bank to split off
six of your E1 channels into analog FXO ports.  You will want this for
fax lines, security systems, and dialup connections since doing this
over VoIP/Asterisk can be problematic.  It is best to keep these lines
out of the PBX.

 

I have done several implementations on IBM x305 and x306 servers and
they work great.  I cannot comment on the x100 though, since I have no
experience with it.

 

Thanks,

Steve Totaro

Hi, 

We have 12 lines via ISDN30 but this seems to provide us with 6 Analog
lines.  We use the analog lines but what is confusing is there's no
mention of these analog lines in any documentation or on the bill.  The
problem I have is I need to supply similar in our new premesis and need
to understand how it works.  I'm looking to replace our current
telephone system with Asterisk.  I'll deal with the configuration later
:-) 

Also, I'm looking at an IBM xSeries x100 server for Asterisk to run on.
It has a 3 gig processor and I was wondering if this would be ok to
handle about 8 consecutive calls.  The card I'm looking at is the
Wildcard TE110P.  Has anyone had any echo problems with this card?
Would this setup work? 

Hope all this makes sense! 

Thank you in advance 


Phil.
