Hello, Our client currently has two X100P's running in an HP box that has been running for almost a year now with no problems. They have found however that two phone lines are not enough and are bringing in a third phone line. I wouldn't expect this line to be used very often as there are only two employees in the office. I am curious which route to head. I am hesitant to throw another X100P in the box and create the potential for problems, or should I use a Sipura as an FXO device. Has anyone had any experience with Sipura as an FXO? Are there any issues I should know about? Thanks in advance, Brent D. Franks Mindworks Internet Services
I'm using 3 X100Ps with no problems in an old IBM machine. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Brent Franks Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 11:31 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Sipura or X100P Option Hello, Our client currently has two X100P's running in an HP box that has been running for almost a year now with no problems.

It will work allot better and save you time.> Has anyone had any experience with Sipura as an FXO? Are there any > issues I should know about? > > Thanks in advance, > > Brent D.

The TDM400 improves on the X100P in every way. Also, because the channels are nearly identical in the way they relate to the system, you won't have to make many changes to your dialplan to implement it. Running an external FXO interface (which will need to run over an IP link) may deliver results you weren't anticipating (echo is one that comes to mind). I'd say the TDM400 would be the thing to implement, although I would also mention that the Sipura is very well regarded product. Purchase a TDM04B bundle and you'll have your three lines, plus a fourth for future growth. You can order a TDM03B to and possibly save $80, but the sage advise is to get the hardware installed and then don't mess with it - fully provision the card when you install it and you'll never have to touch it again. Hope this helps, Regards, Jim.> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com > [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of > Brent Franks > Sent: October 20, 2004 12:31 AM > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Sipura or X100P Option > > > Hello, > > Our client currently has two X100P's running in an HP box > that has been running for almost a year now with no problems. > They have found however that two phone lines are not enough > and are bringing in a third phone line.

If the box has troubles with a third card, throw the toy away and get a Mac with YDL: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+Linux+Yellow+Dog> Has anyone had any experience with Sipura as an FXO?

We've got a problem with the SPA-3K not recognising incoming calls on a Japanese PSTN line, but that wouldn't be of concern to you if you are in the US or Canada. There is a slight Echo on the Sipura if you have to raise the TX gain, but consecutive firmware updates seem to have steadily improved this, so after a few more firmware updates, the echo might be gone entirely. Configuring the Sipura can be a bit intimidating. I have never seem any device with so many settings. However, you only need to play with a few of them, so once you worked out what to touch and what to leave alone, this will not be a big deal anymore. Somebody reported having blown up an SPA-3K and getting support can be a bit of an exercise in patience. Other than that the SPA-3K would seem like a very simple upgrade option in your case and probably good enough. rgds benjk -- Sunrise Telephone Systems, 9F Shibuya Daikyo Bldg., 1-13-5 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.
