[Asterisk-Users] Simple setup ...

[David Waugh]

Hello Phil,
 
8 Digital Lines might be a fractional PRI line, or it may be that you have 4 Basic Rate (BRI) ISDN Lines. Is there just one line coming from the "wall" or are there 4?
 
Hardware wise, there are many different cards that you can use.
 
The Diva Server range of cards have hardware echo cancellation, but cost more than a basic card. It's up to your budget and the quality you need.
 
Caller ID is fully supported by this card.
 
The card is easy to install and instructions can be found on this page:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Eicon+Diva+CAPI+ISDN
 
If you have 4 BRI lines then a Diva Server 4BRI would be appropriate.
 
If you have a fractional PRI line with 8 Channels then you can use a Diva Server PRI E1/T1-8M
 
If you are only using the card for a Voice calls only, then a Diva Server -V series card is most appropriate. If you need to fax aswell, then you will need a normal Diva Server card.
 
Please let me know if you need any more info.
 
Thanks
David

Hi, 

I'm currently looking to run Asterisk in the office to replace an old PBX and would appreciate a little help.  We are moving offices and will have 8 digital lines.  My questions are: 

As there are 8 digital lines is this known as PRI? 
Which Digium card would be the best fit? 
Would you recommend looking at the echo cancellation cards? 
We are UK based: is caller id supported by Asterisk for the card that you would recommend? 
Any other tips / possible pitfalls would be helpful. 


Thank you in advance! 


Phil.
