Has anyone on this list succesfully managed to get two (or more) TDM04 (with four FXO each) working on a Dell PowerEdge server? If so, which model? Was it a hassle? I'm doing a seven-line installation and a callbank seems like overkill, I just don't want to get suck with a PowerEdge that gets into an IRQ mess. Thanks in Advance, Tom Hayden

When I insert the driver I get an NMI, but that appears to be harmless. I have to unload and reload the drivers once a week or so, otherwise the FXO modules tend to eventually stop responding. I haven't had any audio quality or interrupt problems, though. The system gets the job done, but I can't wholeheartedly recommend these cards. If I had to do it all over again, I'd consider some other method. I'm not sure if anything else would be practical, though. A T1 card plus channel bank is kind of cost prohibitive for such a small installation. I've heard good things about the Sipura gateways, but I'm interfacing to a PBX and need the ability to flash the line for transfers, and I think Flash() is Zap-specific.
I have 2 of them working on a SC420 server and also another one the SC400 and older one that has 4 TDM boards on it. Both systems have been working fine. I did not have to do anything special on them to get them working. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Tom Hayden Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2005 11:45 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Two TDM04 with Poweredge Has anyone on this list succesfully managed to get two (or more) TDM04 (with four FXO each) working on a Dell PowerEdge server?
