[Asterisk-Users] Channel Banks

[Glenn Dalgliesh]

Channel BanksWell, you have several options. A T100P and a device such as a Adtran Altlas or simpler Channel bank. But since at this time as you point out Digium only has 1 FXO port per PCI slot(FYI I hear they are working on a 4 port per PCI slot). The other options are MediaTrix, VegaStream, or other devices like them. They are essentially FXO to SIP over Ethernet devices and although I really like the Digium T100P(It is solid) for what you are trying to accomplish I think card and channel bank may not be the most elegant solution.

Just my opinion!

  OK, I'm having some trouble finding which equipment I need.... 

  What I'd like to do is take about a dozen incoming analog lines and bring them into an * server.  Of course one is going to have a hard time fitting a dozen X100P cards in a case, so an alternative would be a channel bank and a T100P in the * server.  Now here's where my confusion comes in.  I _think_ I need a channel bank that has a T1 interface on one side (to go to the * server), and FXO interfaces on the other (to accept the incoming analog lines from the telco)?  And are there suggestions out there as to which channel banks one should select for this sort of deployment?
