[Asterisk-Users] Solution for 12 to 16 FXO to asterisk connection
Hi, today a customer asked how to use asterisk with 12 to 16 FXO ports. I can use a channel bank with 16 FXO ports and connect the channel bank with a T1 cable to a T1 card in the Asterisk Server. Asterisk will then send the calls to the Voip provider over the internet. However a 16 fxo port channel bank is about USD 1500 + a t1 card USD 500 + a USD 1000 computer = 3 thousand us dollars + my installation fees (life isn't free). Sounds expensive for such a small install. Suggestions? -- ------------------------------------------- Erick Perez Linux User 376588 http://counter.li.org/ (Get counted!!!) Panama, Republic of Panama

How about a used cisco iad2400 with a 16fxo module? Check ebay - no t1 card required. Probably $1000> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users- > bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Erick Perez > Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 8:27 PM > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Solution for 12 to 16 FXO to asteriskconnection> > Hi, today a customer asked how to use asterisk with 12 to 16 FXO > ports.

[Asterisk-Users] Solution for 12 to 16 FXO to asterisk connection
I've bought 2 Adit600's on ebay now for less than $500, for exactly the install you are talking about. I'm wondering why they wouldn't be a T1 though...should be less than 12-16 FXO's. -Darren -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Erick Perez Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 10:27 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Solution for 12 to 16 FXO to asterisk connection Hi, today a customer asked how to use asterisk with 12 to 16 FXO ports.

500-600 is more typical these days depending on where you are, but insist on PRI unless the service central office can not provide it. ________________________________ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Ben Brown Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 9:41 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Solution for 12 to 16 FXO to asterisk connection Is this standard in the industry? My local telco in the US wants $1050/month for T1 (not PRI!) I can buy 24 POTS lines for $840/month. Gotta love small towns! BEN Sean Cook wrote: Not sure about where you are but 16 pots lines generally run about $25-$30 / month = $480/month. For about $400/month I can get a PRI (23+1) and go straight into a TE100.

So what i need is a voip gateway? i found the octtel sp1632 for about USD.1500 http://www.octtel.com.tw/eng/product_1632_2.php so i configure the equipment to register with the asterisk? as sip? or some other thing? it will only be used to make outgoing calls, the config is like this nortel (12 port pstn card)----->(device with 16fxo)----->asterisk----->voip_provider no chance to use an e1/t1 on the nortel.

Hmm.... a phone system taking in 16 lines for $4,000.....There are companies out there who would sell a phone system like that for $14,000. -Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Erick Perez Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 10:27 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Solution for 12 to 16 FXO to asterisk connection Hi, today a customer asked how to use asterisk with 12 to 16 FXO ports.
