I haven't seen much activity on the list concerning Digium's IAXy standalone FXS device. Are they worth $100 ? Do they integrate well with * as an extension's FXS ?

I know I'm getting a lease. I'm sure it's something stupid. They do run quite hot. They're very warm to the touch. Glenn
I'm using an IAXy in my office for a cordless line, and it works very well. Don't waste your time using it for a fax line, and be sure you re-provision the device before moving it to another network. I couldn't get the reset button to clear the existing data when I moved it from one office to another (10.1.1.x to 192.168.1.x) and had to provision it from my imac with a crossover cable :) Niles On Oct 5, 2004, at 12:33 AM, Tim Connolly wrote:> I haven't seen much activity on the list concerning Digium's IAXy > standalone > FXS device.

We got ours on Friday and we already have it working through two restrictive firewalls(much easier to poke holes with only one UDP port to worry about). It uses about 75Kb of bandwidth and the audio is pretty good. We have been able to move it from network to network(set at DHCP) without reprovisioning and it always registers to it's home asterisk server. We also were able to re-provision it for Static IP and back to DHCP with no problem. Not really sure what that reset button is for, it doesn't seem to really do anything. This is a really great ATA adapter, but it isn't exactly feature-rich at this point in time. Here's my IAXy features wishlist: - basic network programming from phone interface(like Sipura and Cisco ATAs) - at the very least a little debug message that will speak you the IP address - basic web interface - more codecs, like GSM - some tiny holes drilled in the case somewhere for more ventilation - version with second RJ45 for passthru ethernet and possibly even built-in NAT(OK I know this is far off, but this is a "Wish-List") Thanks to Digium for getting this to market so quickly.

I have two of them. They work just fine with *. Occasionally I get a loud screeching sound at the beginning of the call. It seems to only be heard on the IAXy side. I don't have my * system finished, but so far they seem to work very well.> -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Connolly [mailto:tim@timsnet.com] > Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 10:33 PM > To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] IAXy - anyone using them yet? > > > I haven't seen much activity on the list concerning Digium's IAXy > standalone > FXS device.

Do they integrate well with * as an > extension's FXS ? >I think that it is worth pointing out that the devices have no support for DNS. You cannot have them register against a hostname, at all. I have contacted Digium and from what they told me there is no planned support for DNS. I think, that from a competitive standpoint, I don't know how these devices can really compete against something like the Sipura-2000, when you get two FXS ports, many more features, and even DNS (for less money)! Additionally, they have some known compatibility problems with Cisco switches. The ethernet link would not come up and I could only get it to work after I put a $10 Linksys hub in between the Iaxy and my Catalyst 2950T-24. I found out about both of these after I bought one Iaxy for testing. With problems with Cisco switches (my favorite) and no support for one of the core protocols of the internet, I promptly sent it back. Furthermore, when I asked Malcolm from Digium support about it at Astricon, he acknowledged the Cisco problem remains and they still have no plans for DNS. He (rather harshly) continued to explain their logic for leaving out DNS by saying "What if your DNS server goes down?" "Then who are you going to call?" "I can get someone over here that can explain to you why you don't need DNS." I didn't feel like explaining to him that I am a PAYING CUSTOMER and that it might be worth their while to listen to the people that buy their product... I have since spent over $1000 on Sipuras, and I am not slowing down... I love to support Digium wherever possible, but I don't want my clients to suffer with an inferior product because of it! -- Kristian Kielhofner

That should be perfect for your softclient and iAXY. -- Kristian Kielhofner

Specifically in reference to the "regulated" which I assume is better, though it sounds like when it is supplying 9VDC, it is only 0.8A instead of 1.5A? Has anyone found a suitable power supply for use in Australia? http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/4163c4360fcf768e273fc0a87f9c075c/Product/View/M9917 Thanks, Adam

[Asterisk-Users] IAXy - anyone using them yet?

However, Wasim and his Farfon project have announced they will be making a multiport IAX FXO/FXS gateway device. rgds benjk -- Sunrise Telephone Systems, 9F Shibuya Daikyo Bldg., 1-13-5 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.
