I am in the process of replacing a Zultys MX250 with an Asterisk PBX
system. Right now, there is a PRI T1 line coming in from the phone
company that plugs directly into the MX250. I believe Digium offers
PCI cards that will provide this same functionality, but what I would
really like is to have Asterisk physically abstracted from the phone
company's interface. That would mean I'll need a standalone media
gateway that serves SIP traffic to the LAN.
Zultys offers the MX25 which may do what I want, but I really want to
avoid anything from Zultys at the moment. I think Cisco also offers a
media gateway, but I haven't been able to find any case examples of
how well it works with Asterisk in this sort of environment. Can
anyone recommend a gateway that is reasonably priced and can be
cleanly integrated with Asterisk?
Thanks!

Look into the Lucent Max Tnt. It may be over kill for your application, but
people say they work flawlessly and will increase the stability of your asterisk
PBX. I'm in the process of setting one up right now.
Good Luck

[Asterisk-Users] Media gateway recommendations?
Just wondering - why the move away from Zultys? I haven't had any experience with them personally... PaulH ps: I have had people in the past say they were looking at the Zultys solutions, and wanted to know what I tought of them. And the answer was that I had no idea. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dustin Wenz" <dwenz@iscompanies.com> To: "Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion" <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 4:31 AM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Media gateway recommendations?> I am in the process of replacing a Zultys MX250 with an Asterisk PBX > system.

I'm hoping to have the TNT working with asterisk in the next couple days.
So far the voip-info.org config seems to be taking without problems. I still
have to setup the asterisk side of the config though. I'll post when
it's completed. The TNT I bought only has enough hardware in it to support
4 DS1's. Yes it will scale up, but I figured this was a good place to start.
I'm also notorious for killing a fly with a shot gun. Hehe.
I'll keep you posted.
Marc

Thanks for the info. Are you finding the Lucent gateway to play as
nicely as people say it should with Asterisk? The data sheet claims
that it can manage 720 concurrent calls. I think that piece of
hardware is a little too extreme for our purposes. Even something
that offered 1/10th the capacity would be more than enough. Does
Lucent offer any sort of "TNT Universal Gateway Mini"?

We are only using 1 pri (the 400 can take 4) but has no problems at all. Had it up and running in 10 minutes (incl. asterisk conf). www.vegastream.com /niklas
