Hi, all I am doing "prrof of concept" system. I will have two IP phones connected to Asterisk box. Box itself will have 1 PSTN conenction and one analog phone conenction. A basic minimal configuration. At the moment I am planning to use an old PII-350 with 128M of RAM I have lying around. I can not test anything yet, as I am waiting for phones to arrive, so question is will that be enough to demonstrate? Thanks, Rudolf

If you plan on using the TDM400 with one each FXS and FXO, the MB needs to have PCI Ver 2.2 slots, or the card won't be seen Any MB made after 2000 probably is OK John Novack
Thanks. I guess, I will have to try it and see. Mine is one of those small form factor COMPAQ boxes. I will try to get full specs from COMPAQ/HP. What about load Asterisk puts on processor if you do, for example, IP-IP call and IP-PSTN call? Since I will use Polycom phones, I will use SIP.

I have two comments: a. It maybe doesn't work because of the PCI specifications the box support. If was manufactured before Jan 2000, it is quite probably that it won't recognize the Digium cards. b. From the point of view of load, I see no problems, I think the specs of the machine are enough for such a small system. Hope it helps.

I'm doing this very sporadically so I can't remember which application gave the error. US$50.00 at Office Max and I have a , hopefully , < $500 home phone system. Which is being used to proto type a system for the office. Rod -- --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
We did our proof on concept on a celeron 600 - which was fine to run 2 software and 2 hardware phones off. Original testing was with sjphone and xlite. (software phones) We didn't fit a TDM card until we set up our first box, which was a dual p3-1000.

And I forgot - once we were finished with the 600 we gave it to Jurgen.

Hi If you going to run digium hardware, please make sure that machine does PCI 2.2.. otherwise you will NOT be able to get the card to work. the slowest machine we found was a pIII that supported pci 2.2 chow Liaan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Hales" <paulh@adairs.com.au> To: "'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion'" <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 5:03 AM Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Minimal hardware requirements> We did our proof on concept on a celeron 600 - whichwas fine to run 2> software and 2 hardware phones off. > > Original testing was with sjphone and xlite.(software phones)> > We didn't fit a TDM card until we set up our firstbox, which was a dual> p3-1000. > > Later, > > PaulH > > -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com > [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] OnBehalf Of Rudolf> Ladyzhenskii > Sent: Tuesday, 22 February 2005 11:35 AM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-CommercialDiscussion> Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Minimal hardwarerequirements> > Hi, all > > I am doing "prrof of concept" system.

Setup VOIP to PSTN termination via one of the many providers. No need for TDM cards. Your system will work fine. I've done this on an old Pentium Pro with only 128MBs for a small system. You only need bigger hardware if you're going to add many more users. Two SIP phones is nothing. -mark -- Mark Eissler, mark@mixtur.com Mixtur Interactive, Inc. -@- http://www.mixtur.com
