asterisk users - Sep 2004 - Optus Australia Multiline SHDSL service

Hi,

I am currently trying to find a replacement for a dinosaur PBX and want 
to replace it with a VoIP solution.

We have just moved our lines over to an Optus Multiline from a Telstra 
ISDN Onramp 30 service with 100 lines.

My question for you good people is what sort of hardware do I need to 
interface Asterix into the Optus Multiline? The Optus service is 
terminated in my office to a SHDSL NTU from Adtran and has two RJ45 
conenctors on the back of it. Has anybody tried this yet?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know anything about this service from optus, but I thought that
Optus was providing 4 x analog lines along with their SHDSL service,
which means you might use the TDM40B (quad FXO). Though you are saying
you had 100 lines with Telstra (4 x PRI E1 with last E1 only 10
channels?) so perhaps the 'multiline' is in fact a PRI service, in which
case you probably need the TE410p to connect to the rj45's on the back
of your 'Adtran' box..

Finally, if you do work it out, I would love to hear about the service,
the prices, etc...

Sounds like you'll need a TE410p (Austel approved) or an E100p (non Austel
approved).  Which provide 4 or 1 E1/T1 interfaces respectively.  Depending
on your number of internal extensions and need for call queues etc one
server running Asterisk could handle everything.  We currently have an
Onramp10 and 25 internal extensions running with a TE410p and a HP DL320 as
server.  Internal extensions are a mix of Cisco 7960's and Grandstream Budge
Tones with an ATA286 providing an analog interface for fax and modem.

What is the type/model of the Adtran box?

I was under the impression the Optus Multinet network (of which
MultiLine is a product of) used 2 boxes onsite.  One an SHDSL NTU and
the other a voice router.  That is, unless things have changed since I
left.

The service has definately been completely installed?  Usually they'd
install the NTU and not put the voice router onsite until sometime
later.

Normally though you would be provided with E1s by Optus which the TE401p
should work fine with.
