Is very heavy loaded if 9PCI cards at a server. But is possible but not encourge. Maybe you can consider to have digital extension with IP phone. THis is my opinion. <br><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br>:-) good luck<br>

Hello all.<br><br>My company currently has an older Executone PBX system that we are outgrowing.<br>Rather than wait until the last minute to make a hasty decision, I thought it<br>would be a good idea to do some research and compare options first. My
<br>expertise is in computers and networking, and telephony systems are mostly<br>foreign to me.<br><br>What we currently have are 5 incoming POTS lines and 25 stations and are<br>wanting to add 1 or 2 more stations. I think we might have added at least
<br>one more incoming line, except that the phones we have only support 5 lines<br>(so I'm told). Our PBX system has room for 5 more stations, then it's time<br>to buy a new one.<br><br>I'm assuming I need to add some hardware in order to make Asterisk work with
<br>our existing setup, but I'm not entirely sure what. Based on the reading<br>I've done so far and my limited understanding, if we wanted to use it in<br>place of our existing PBX system, I would need to get an "analog interface
<br>card" (several, actually), like Digium's TDM400P, like so:<br><br>2 - Wildcard TDM04B cards for FXO and<br>7 - Wildcard TDM40B cards for FXS<br><br>-or-<br><br>1 - Wildcard TDM04B card for FXO and<br>1 - Wildcard TDM22B card for FXO & FXS and
<br>7 - Wildcard TDM40B cards for FXS<br><br>I might as well use the top configuration for future expansion.<br><br>If I am correct, that is 9 PCI cards in a PC. I don't know of any motherboard<br>that supports that many cards, so either I'm wrong, or I'll need different
<br>cards, or I'll need to utilize 2 or more PCs in conjunction with each other.<br>I haven't yet found any mention on the last two options, so I'm assuming I'm<br>wrong and I need a little enlightenment.<br><br>Thank you for any information that will help me better understand this.
