asterisk users - Sep 2005 - How to connect many analog lines to Asterisk?

Hello!

If I have more than a hundred analog telephones (analog lines) that need 
to be connected to Asterisk PBX, what kind of hardware do I need, and 
where can I buy it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
try to search with google for "channelbank" or something similar.

Wow, first of all, if you have a hundred analog lines, you are doing
yourself a disservice.....a 4 T1's would be much much cheaper, and much
easier to manage.

Anyway, for 100 analog lines, I'd get 3 adit 600 channel banks and fill
them with FXO cards, and then buy 1 TE406 Quad T1 card for your asterisk
box.

You asked how to connect lines, so he answered that question. The answer
is basically the same just change the FXO in the channel bank to FXS.

Let me clear this up a little bit.  There are hundreds of telephone 
devices inside the building, all connected to a PBX, and there is an 
E1/T1 connection to the PSTN (being statistically multiplexed, 
obviously).  What I'd like to do is to replace the PBX with Asterisk.

I don't see how I can make the situation better by using 4 T1's?

Thanks, I think that's what I need.

Well, actually, I said: "If I have more than a hundred analog telephones

(analog lines) that need..."  But, that doesn't help my case, does it?
:-)

Anyway, thanks everybody for the info!
