[Asterisk-Users] About Channel Banks

[Ricardo Saar Gemignani]

Hello

   I'm starting to learn about Asterisk and trying to install the first one.
I've a doubt. Here in Brazil the Telecom Standards uses E1. So, I'll use a
Wildcard E100P to inter-connect with 30 POTS.
   Should I use a Channel Bank or simply a Multiplexer?
   Whats the difference between a channel bank and a multiplexer??
   Can I use any?
   The real question is: How to connect Analog Phones to Asterisk using by
output an E1?

Thanks in advance
