[Asterisk-Users] Ethernet Channel Bank idea

Thu Dec 9 08:28:43 MST 2004

Im using the adit 600 with a cmg card and 5 8 port FXS cards connected to a 
MetaSwitch VP3510 via ethernet.  just plugged the cmg card into the same 
ethernet lan as the softswitch.  Signaling is mgcp (even supports g729 for 
the first 24 calls - can do all 40 with a different cmg card).  here's a 
sample config from my setup

-------------------------------------------------------------
-Adit 600 configuration file
-Created on 01/23/2002 at 17:28:03 for nexband
-This file is valid for the following configuration only:
-
-        CardType
-        --------
-SLOT A   T1x2         SW Version:  8.0.0
-SLOT 1   FXS8Ax8
-SLOT 2   FXS8Ax8
-SLOT 3   FXS8Ax8
-SLOT 4   FXS8Ax8
-SLOT 5   FXS8Ax8
-SLOT 6   CMGx1
-NOTES:
-1. It is necessary to issue the commands 'restore defaults'
-   and 'reset' BEFORE downloading the configuration file to
-   ensure proper configuration.
-2. Lines beginning with '-' will be ignored as comments
-   by the CLI.  Before downloading, review the sections of
-   the configuration file delimited by these comments and
-   delete the commands that are not needed (e.g. 'set ip
-   address' and 'add user' are likely candidates for
-   deletion).
-3. While downloading, a character delay of 5 ms and a line
-   delay of 300 ms is recommended.
