[asterisk-users] forwarding pots lines

[Joe Carroll]

There are a couple of companies out there that make 24 port fxo and fxs boxes. If you have some unused  fibers you cout do this very reliably with two channel banks...  One with fxs ports and the other with fxo ports and t1 media converters.

 The grand stream solution mentioned in an earlier post does 8 ports, you could get one 4 port model and one 8 port model of fxs and the same of fxo and  accomplish your goal rather inexpensively as well.

Sorry to jump in on this but I am also interested in this topic.

In my scenario I have about 10 POTs lines brought into the front of a
facility and the only infrastructure connecting the back of the facility
is a 3000ft fiber backhaul.  I've been asked to bring the POTs lines to
the back of the facility.

Are there any ATAs that trunk multiple POTs Lines?  Like a multiplexer
of some sort.

If anyone has any information can you please provide the manufacturer
and model of the device?

Thank You,
Dennis

Depending on the reliability needed (is this a way to talk to a
girlfriend in another country or a mission-critical business use?) I'd
say it's better to pay a small monthly fee to someone like OnSIP.com
and use their centrex.

If it's because you have the phone lines already installed and need to
just use them at certain times, I do think there are FXO devices but
I'm not sure they will help. You wouldn't need two asterisk servers at
any rate but only one. The phones connect (through a router if need
be) to the asterisk at the phone lines + FXO end.
