asterisk users - Apr 2005 - Dialogic D/300SC-1E1 and D/600SC-2E1 with *

Hi,

I've seen from the Asterisk Hardware list that the Dialogic D/300JCT-1E1 and
D/600JCT-2E1 cards are supported by Asterisk, can anyone tell me if the
D/300SC-1E1 and D/600SC-2E1 cards are as a client has quite a few of these
particular model and would like to use them in an Asterisk server.

Cheers

Richard

My view is that whilst there were (are?) drivers for some dialogic cards
(and I don't think that the D/300SC-1E1 is one of them) it isn't worth 
the
hassle.

Asterisk is based on the concept that DSP/protocol handling is best
done on a CPU. The D300 takes the approach that that is is best done in
DSPs and separate protocol handling chips, so the driver would be
sub-optimal.

For the price of a copy of the latest Intel  firmware and a Dialogic 
driver
for asterisk  you can probably buy a digium E1 card and get the  
drivers for free.
(plus you get a card that is designed to work with asterisk).

If you find a use for those D300PCI's, let me know, I have 1 I don't 
need
anymore...

You have to contact Digium sales to obtain from them dialogic drivers
for asterisk.

It can be done but, if you want support just buy a new Digium or Sagnoma  
card.

It's not worth the trouble for one machine to use the Dialogic card.
I wrote apps for dialogic cards for years under DOS and windows NT.
When I got ready for Asterisk, I had the same thoughts - I can use all of  
these cards.
Forget it.

I looked at it and it was cheaper and quicker to just buy a card an be up  
and running tomorrow.

However, if you get a response from someone who has done it and is willing  
to assist you, go for it.

99.5% non-dialogic 0.5 % dialogic, just guess how  much support is  
available...

I understand that the only difference should be the drivers, but if you  
have a problem, then everyone will say "...I'm not sure about the
dialogic
thing if you had a Zap card..."

Those cards are half-duplex designs, and not usable with Asterisk. The 
Asterisk compatibility list specifically refers to the JCT cards, as 
these are full duplex designs (though with rather high latency).
