Does anyone know of a pri splitter device? Something that would take an incoming PRI, and based on DID send that out one of other multiple PRI ports? I'm needing to take a single PRI from the telco, and send it to two separate phone systems(one asterisk) based on DID. I know I could probably achieve the same thing with a 3 port PRI card in a server, but I'd like something braindead easy to configure from both a hardware and software perspective. ________________________________ This e-mail, facsimile, or letter and any files or attachments transmitted with it contains information that is confidential and privileged.

There really isn't any way to 'split' a PRI, unlike a T1 using CAS signaling which can be 'split' using a drop-and-insert multiplexer. If you don't want to use a small PC with a 3-port T1 card in it, you can use something like an Adtran Atlas to do the job. Alternatively, just use a 2-port T1 card in the Asterisk server, and run the PRI *through* the Asterisk server on the way to the other PBX. That's the most common way to do what you want to do. -- Kevin P. Fleming Director of Software Technologies Digium, Inc. - "The Genuine Asterisk Experience" (TM)

If the PC/Server powers off, the relays naturally de-energize, which by design, PASSES the service to the failover port (to the port connected to your spare server or analog devices). While by itself that would be a pretty good design, there would be a vulnerability, because of course it's possible to have Asterisk crash while the server is still happily powered on. Therefore the Rhino failover device incorporates another design element: If you choose, you can enable its watchdog system. If asterisk stops responding to a periodic message, It knows that Asterisk is down, and fails over your services to the other server or analog devices EVEN IF the power is still on at the main server! -Karl
Although the original topic of this thread has changed quite a bit, I wanted to point out that the "SPF" Product that you are discussing is quite similar to our product, the FSV-4PFS. Ours is a 4 port device which can switch 4 T1/E1/J1/Ethernet or as many as 16 analog lines from a primary to a backup server. It uses similar logic (power outage = failover server, loss of hearbeat = failover server) and also has a physical mechanical switch on the front of it which allows manual override switching to main or secondary server. We also have addressed the 'clean startup' that was discussed a few posts back. The switch will start and remain in 'failover mode' until such time as it receives a hearbeat or the physical switch is moved to the "main' position. A failed main server can be restarted/repowered without bothering the backup server operation one bit - until you are ready to switch back to the main server. http://www.failsafevoip.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1 -- FailSafeVOIP, Inc.

I've seen this happen before where retailers will list outrageously high prices for soon-to-be-released products. For example the SNOM KlarVoice handset. MSRP is $32, but I've seen it advertised for $200! http://www.8774e4voip.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=klarvoice I can say with confidence that the LIST price is US $350. The street price will be considerably lower. Frankly, if I were Snom or Rhino I'd be pretty cheezed off about this phenomenon. After hearing the 'buzz' about a new product such as this, I'd hate for customers to *decide* against it mistkenly believing this incorrect price. I'd turn my nose at either of these two products for the incorrect prices I've seen advertised. We're pretty stoked to have stumbled onto this product because it's brand new, and we've been looking for something like it for some time. -Karl -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
