Hi everyone,
Could someone tell me if I could make a Asterisk PBX + Digium
hardware with more than 20 FXS? If I have a 5 PCI PC, I could only
plug 5 TDM40B (4-port FXS) maximun. Is there a solution, a hardware in
Digium or something that let me have a PBX with about 50 or 100 FXS
and internal phone using a Asterisk PC.
Thank you very much...
Nahuel Ramos.
Nahuel Pick up one or more Carrier Access ADIT 600 channel banks off of eBay (they always come loaded down with FXS channels), grab a quad-span Digium TE410P (or TE405P, depends on your PCI capabilities) -- 4 T1/E1 ports, that's 96/120 voice channels theoretical max -- and go to town. :) http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=hardware_products All of that hardware works splendidly with Asterisk. You can peruse the Wiki for more information on configuring the beasts: http://www.voip-info.org Greg Nahuel Alejandro Ramos wrote:> Hi everyone, > Could someone tell me if I could make a Asterisk PBX + Digium > hardware with more than 20 FXS?

It is an external box that converts T1/E1 signalling to standard analog lines. It can give you all of the 24 lines available on a T1 as FXS ports. There's popular model that a lot of people are using, the Rhino: http://www.channelbanks.com/ I don't use this kind of a setup, so I can't vouch for it. Anybody else? Is this a good unit?
