asterisk users - Feb 2006 - Asterisk large-scale deployment w/analog phones

I would recommend that you look at the Pika Technologies Daytona MM
board. It has onboard DSP and onboard analog bridging taking up much
less horsepower. Please contact me off-list if you would like more
information.

Hello,

If you are doing that many analog extensions you might want to
consider 4 channelbanks and a quad T1 card instead(or two 2-port cards
in two servers). Four TDM24XX cards will draw a whole lot of power and
would be much harder to replace than an exterior channelbank if
something goes wrong with one of them. Cost should be about the same
overall(depending on which channelbanks you buy), except you will be
able to use a much smaller server case with the quad T1 card.

The most we have done is two channelbanks off of a quad T1 card in a
single machine and it works just fine.

This list is not for advertising in any form (that's what
'non-commercial discussion' means).

The cards the original poster mentioned also do on-card bridging of
channels (in fact, as far I'm aware pretty much all the current Asterisk
compatible interface cards do it). It's not a competitive advantage for
anyone :-)
