Ok, the Zhone sucks and the Adtran 750/850 seems to be a little too expensive. Can anyone recommend a decent channelbank that won't break the bank? TIA, -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks http://www.psknet.com 540.994.4254 ~ 866.477.5638 Pulaski Chamber 2002 Small Business Of The Year

Hello All, I'm looking to get some feedback on which solution of providing FXS is going to have the best results with faxing. I'm only looking to see what method is going to provide the best digitization into Asterisk, not for transmission from Asterisk to else where. Any recommendations of specific channel banks are welcome. I will need to provide approximatly 216 FXS Ports and need

hi, we are currently planning are large site which will migrate from an old siemens hicom pbx to asterisk. it will be a slow migration, the asterisk server will be inserted between the telco E1 and the hicom. new phones will be sip ones. the customer has several fax machines and analog phones (some of them have to be explosion-proof). around 50 analog ports in total are needed. as we are in

Hi! Is there anyone that are using a E1-channelbank and have any tips about some type? Im looking at the TE410P and use one port for a PRI (Euro-ISDN, I think we're using some slightly modified version here in Sweden, but I'll check that tomorrow) and connect one port to a channelbank for 30 analogue telephones. It would also be great to get callerid on the analogue phones, so it would

We are a voip terminating company, we're using Channelbank with FXS modules, Rhino, CAC, etc.. What we're wondering is, is how to would you echo cancel a channelbank. Of course we're realizing that cancel'ing on the T1 (on Ast) does no good (we think?) because the analog conversion is at the channelbank. Suggestions? Lowering the gain helps but we're looking for a real solution

hello, I am planning a fairly large hotel VoIP system, using analog phones. It will consist of about 100 analog phones, that must have access to a VoIP server. I am considering an option to use a couple of asterisk boxes, bundled with a total of four TDM2460E cards, and one TDM2451E card. Has anyone on this list done something similar? It would be great to hear some comments regarding a smilar

Hello, The company I work for recently purchased 2 Rhino CB24s and a Rhino PCI-E R4T1. The channel banks are plugged into the R4T1, as well as 2 PRIs from our telco. The CB24s are for all internal analog phones. Most of the phones are setup in "batphone mode", which is "immediate=on" in the DAHDI config. They are set up this way because we are an outgoing call

Ok for those of you all up in a tizzy over my subject line, please don't take it literally because I'm certainly not saying that asterisk is the problem here. I just got a little nightmare problem that I need a bit of help figuring out. I installed an asterisk system a few months ago for a client, it has run almost flawlessly with the exception of a few small glitches. However, I got a

I have 2 * boxes. 1 has 2 PRI's from the Telco, and a PRI to the 2nd * The other has ZAP channels to Channelbanks for endusers. If someone on the second box calls a Toll Free number (it probably doesn't matter that it is toll free) that is auto answered by an auto attendant (QVC, a Bank, the Airlines, Credit Card Companies....) then the call gets dropped with in a couple of seconds of

I'm going to install asterisk with four digium cards. Can anyone mention a brand that carries boards with 4 compatible pci slots? Thanks Shoval Tomer, IT Manager, SofTov Advanced Systems, Ltd. Office: +972-3-9230686 ext. 179 Fax: +972-3-9216642 Mobile: +972-54-8000200

Has anyone ever heard of this so called Dynamic Impedance matching on the ADIT 600? I called their support and they've never heard of it. We are of course having echo problems are on the far end due to digital/analog conversion on the local end using a channel bank. We have purchased an ADIT 600 and yes the complaints are "far less" however we're still getting them. While I have

Hi, Not sure if anyone will be intersted but I have put together an install guide for Asterisk on RedHat 9.. Its nothing special but it may be of use to the newbies.. Like me..

What kind of channelbank/FXS port are you connecting to? I've seen problems connecting to some of the older versions of the Adtran Total Access 750's. I wouldn't doubt there would be problems on other channelbanks with older firmwares. Of course, no firmware on CAC AB1's I have the AAstra 480, Adtran 750 Channelbank (updated firmware), T100P card, and it worked fine on the

Hi list! The stability of * with fax (or the lack of it) is causing me headaches. To solve it, I was thinking to put a TE205P card in the * box, connect the E1 pri on one port and a channelbank (I was thinking of the Rhino) on the other port in T1 mode. (Has anyone tried this??) The TE205P supports channel bridging which sounded like the ideal (but not cheap) solution when combined with a

hi all, i need an asterisk board that can support up to 30 FXS ports. i found the following on digium: TDM400P. It only has 4 port, does it mean that i have to buy 8 of those to have my 30 FXS line? Or is there any channel bank solution that digium or other providers can provide us with in order to do that. Experienced asterisk user, how do you manage to make PBXs for 30 to 100 regular phones?

Hi, I'm looking for a few pointers on using ATA to connect Asterisk to the PSTN. Basically, I'm running a Hosted PBX service, and in urban centers I can usually get SIP or PRIs. Since I sell my customers SIP hardphones, the data flow is like this: Customer's SIP Hardphone ---- My own Asterisk ----- Outside lines But when it comes to smaller villages (I deal with people in tiny

Hi All. I'm working on an * configuration. We require 8 inbound POTS lines, and CT1 or PRI seems like it will be quite expensive at that level. I've read that a T1 Channelbank plus the T100P would be a (the?) way to go for this situation. What is the recommended channelbank for use in this scenario? From searching the archives I see a lot of suggestions to get "a

Hello! I have been struggling with Asterisk 1.6 and DAHDI for the past few weeks. We are an outgoing call center with 30 internal analog phones hooked up to 2 Rhino CB24 channel banks. The banks are connected to a Rhino R4T1 card in a Dell 2950 server with 8 gigs of RAM. The 2 other ports on the R4T1 go to our 2 PRIs. In this configuration, we have trouble maintaining stability. It may be fine

I am having a problem with asterisk not being stable enough for production use. I have two cards, the digium TE406P, and the TE410P. The TE410P is the primary card that I am using but I would like to move to the TE406P for the echo cancellation and more flexibility of PCI slots available. General config info: 3 PRIs, configured as such: span=1,2,0,esf,b8zs span=2,0,0,esf,b8zs

Does anyone have any suggestions for connecting analog DID trunks? I have some small locations that will have 2 analog DID trunks each, the only solution that I can see will work will be using a channel bank and T1 card, but it will be close to $1500 to terminate these DID trunks. Was hoping someone had some experience using an ATA or TDM card and analog DID trunks. Rhino Channel Bank - $750 4
