[asterisk-users] 200+ analog phones connected to FXS modules

[Dovid B]

You can get a basic VOIP phone for the same price that it will cost you for 
a FXS port. As far as wiring you can go with a bit more expensive phone and 
get a dual port with POE (if they have an existing computer network).

Subject: [asterisk-users] 200+ analog phones connected to FXS modules


I am trying to find out the best way to replace one of
our hardware PBXs. It currently has 200+ analog phones
connected to it. The idea is to take advantage of the
already installed phone cables (big building) so I'm
trying to avoid the use of ethernet adapters (if
possible). However, I'm realizing that it's an
expensive setup and will definitely require two or
more cooperating Asterisk servers (cluster) mainly due
to PCI slot availability.

I am aware of the TDM2400P card. One could put 6 FXS
uqad-modules and would serve 24 analog phones.

However, I would need at least 9 of these PCI cards
which could be placed in 2 or 3 servers.

Is there another way of doing this (hopefully cheaper
and more convenient)?

Thank you for your suggestions.

Vieri
