[Asterisk-Users] Solution for 12 to 16 FXO to asterisk connection

[Erick Perez]

cant find a cisco one so far.

So what i need is a voip gateway?
i found the octtel sp1632 for about USD.1500
http://www.octtel.com.tw/eng/product_1632_2.php

so i configure the equipment to register with the asterisk? as sip? or
some other thing? it will only be used to make outgoing calls, the
config is like this

nortel (12 port pstn card)----->(device with
16fxo)----->asterisk----->voip_provider

no chance to use an e1/t1 on the nortel.
