Has anybody tested any gateways from ACT: http://www.act-tel.com.tw/Index2.htm They have four different configurations: 4xFXS - 4xFXO 2xFXS - 2xFXO 1xFXS - 1xFXO 4xFXS I emailed them but they didn't bother the respond. -- #Joseph
Hello Joseph, I tested their products and the Phones are OK. They are better than GrandStream. The Gateways schould be improved. -- Best regards, Miroslav mailto:miro@space-comm.com Monday, October 25, 2004, 3:11:44 AM, you wrote: J> Has anybody tested any gateways from ACT: J> http://www.act-tel.com.tw/Index2.htm J> They have four different configurations: J> 4xFXS - 4xFXO J> 2xFXS - 2xFXO J> 1xFXS - 1xFXO J> 4xFXS J> I emailed them but they didn't bother the respond.

I would say Asterisk would work with any SIP device out there, it would depend upon your individual configurations. As long as the device SIP/IAX/H323 it should be straight forward to get it plugged into Asterisk.

This was about 2 months ago or so. I have come to read this as: gateways are not ACT's priority -- phones are. I would therefore recommend to look for gateways elsewhere, for example Mediatrix. rdgs benjk -- Sunrise Telephone Systems, 9F Shibuya Daikyo Bldg., 1-13-5 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.

Hi, We choose the Mediatrix 2102 with 2 analogue and 2 ethernet ports. Cost: ?89.99 (roughly equiv $165). We are using these to hook up Faxes and DECT phones (cordless). The top of the range business DECT from from BT is ?30 (if you buy a few from trade). Worth mentioning that even VoiceMail indication works on the BT analogue phone. Also the voice quality was actually better on the top of the range business DECT phone than the top of the range home BT phone which retails at around ?90 (the one that includes SMS / mobile sim card support). What other cordless choices are there for native SIP phones??? Zyxel Prestige 2000W Wireless SIP Phone = ?159.99 (on sale even). I think you can easily do the math and realise what the best option is.

The only uses I see for FXS are - connect a FAX machine, where FAX may not be the best application for VoIP anyway, - connect an existing cordless phone, where you probably have only one such device and a Grandstream HT286 will just do fine, - connect the analog phone in a hotel to a travel adapter, IAXy would seem to be the best choice here because you are so much more likely to encounter NAT traversal problems and other obstacles that you may not be able to resolve with a SIP device, - feed some Internet based phone services into a legacy PBX that wants to see them as CO lines, here again, depending on the number of feeds, HT286 may be cheap and cheerful enough. For anything else IP phones should be the default with no buts and no ifs. I am always puzzled by how people desperately hang on to legacy stuff they don't really need and in the process create a beast of a kludge technology. The x86 architecture (or lack thereof) should be an example that serves to show how not to design your stuff with legacy support as your all-overriding number one priority. So, let's not make the same mistake with VoIP. Let's get rid of analog phones as fast and forcefully as we possibly can. In other words, FXS should be the very very last resort when there is really no other way. Having said that, I notice that Yoda have a 4 port FXO gateway (VG400), or at least it can be configured to be a 4 port FXO gateway. Now, that is rather interesting. Do you have any idea how much this device costs (ballpark figure wise) and how well it can adapt to PSTNs in other countries? rgds benjk -- Sunrise Telephone Systems, 9F Shibuya Daikyo Bldg., 1-13-5 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.

Dear Alex,
Which model you have? We test G11112DSU but the model is with too
many problems:
1. The different items of the same model and the same firmware are
with different problems;
2. PSTN (FXO) to IP doesn't works for some devices - see point 1;
3. SIP TA devices can't be registered to the SIP Server;
4. For devices where the calls from PSTN to the FXO is working the
ring signal is not sent to SIP Server. Only the connected Analog
Phone to the FXS port rings. This is maybe because of point 3.
5. The only way to place a call to the SIP TA is using:
Prefix+Number@ip-address.
Maybe this is because of point 3.
Best Regards,
Miroslav Nachev
