Another difference, and in fact, this is part of the reason why more configuration is required, is that you can use a single card for multiple Asterisk and/or FreeSWITCH boxes through RTP. The Asterisk and FreeSWITCH codec modules are RTP nodes that just request transcoders to the central server (which can be in the same box, or another box), then all the transcoding is done thru RTP. For example, you can have 10 Asterisk boxes using the transcoding card, and just one of the boxes has the card physically plugged. The card also is multi codec. You get G722, G729, iLBC, GSM etc. Moises Silva Senior Software Engineer Sangoma Technologies Inc. | 100 Renfrew Drive, Suite 100, Markham ON L3R 9R6 Canada t. 1 905 474 1990 x128 | e.
