Hi, I'd like to build a personal PBX connecting 4 or 5 analogic phones with a ADSL line and I'd like to know what is the right card I need I visited digium site and I think TDM400 could be the right choice but I cannot understand how it works...I think it has 4 slots where 4 modules (FXS or FXO) can be inserted. How many cards do I need to connect my ADSL line to 5 phones? I think I need two cards, one with 1 FXS for the ADSL line and 3 FXO for the phones and the second card with only 2 FXO modules, is this correct? Where can I find the drivers for this card? Should I re-compile linux kernel or there is another way to add drivers to linux? Thanks in advance.

I'm new at this, too, but I think I can field this one. FXS ports are for connecting to your phones and FXO ports are for connecting to the PSTN. In your situation you would get a TDM400P card with four FXS ports which will allow you to configure 4 individual extensions. The DSL doesn't use a port on the Digium card since it is accessed via the PC's network interface.> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com > [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of > Giorgio Incantalupo > Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2004 11:16 AM > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] SOHO PBX using asterisk > > > Hi, > I'd like to build a personal PBX connecting 4 or 5 analogic > phones with a ADSL line and I'd like to know what is the > right card I need > I visited digium site and I think TDM400 could be the right > choice but I cannot understand how it works...I think it has > 4 slots where 4 modules (FXS or FXO) can be inserted.

Giorgio. To connect 5 analog phone you need five FXS ports. As for the ADSL line, please clarify your intentions. If you wish to use the ADSL line to connect to a VOIP provider, like vonage or voicepulse, then you connect it to your machine with a network interface. If you wish to use it for PSTN calls, then yeah, you need an FXO ports. This means two cards. One with 4 FXS modules, and one with one FXS module and (maybe) one FXO module. ________________________________________ From: Giorgio Incantalupo [mailto:gincantalupo@fgasoftware.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2004 6:16 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] SOHO PBX using asterisk Hi, I'd like to build a personal PBX connecting 4 or 5 analogic phones with a ADSL line and I'd like to know what is the right card I need I visited digium site and I think TDM400 could be the right choice but I cannot understand how it works...I think it has 4 slots where 4 modules (FXS or FXO) can be inserted.
