Where can I find a good tutorial on how channel banks work? I need to get a 6 port (or so) channel bank for FXO. I need to find some information on which ones are supported well under Linux and with Asterisk, how to configure them, what specifically to look for in a channel bank, etc. I'm pretty new to all this, so I'm not familiar with a lot of the terms and such. Thanks! Steve
If I understand this correctly.. Your channel bank will convert analog FXO & FXS to a T1 then you slap a Wildcard T100P in your linux box then your all set. It shouldn't matter if the channel bank is compatible with linux or not because you are going to terminate with a T1 cross over to your linux box. bkw On Mon, 4 Aug 2003, Steve Meyers wrote:> Where can I find a good tutorial on how channel banks work?

It has 6 moduls for 4 port cards that can be either station (FXS) or office (FXO). Station cards are used on your side and office on the phone company's. It's hard to find better hardware than Adtran.
