[Asterisk-Users] Adit 600 as VoIP router (MGCP) and Asterisk

[Chad Whitten]

I have not used the adit 600 with asterisk, but have used it with a voip 
softswitch trunking via mgcp.  i currently have 5 fxs cards with 8 ports per 
card in an adit unit with a cmg card.  i think the price was like $3000 for 
the unit.  it works great but im about to take it out of service and replace 
with a 96 line adsl+pots unit from occam networks.  once i have done that, i 
plan to use it with our asterisk system.

setup of the adit was pretty easy, basically just tell it what the ip address 
of the mgcp server is.  you can do different codecs (even g729) and also 
change individual fxs settings (gain, attenuation, db level, etc).

on our softswitch, the setup was also just as easy and was basically nothing 
more than giving the ip address of the adit 600, the number of ports and the 
port naming scheme (aaln)
