Re: [Asterisk-Users] OT: DS3 -> VoIP Hardware Recommendations

Wed, 13 Jul 2005 21:46:23 -0700

I fully agree with this, I maintain Lucent/Ascend MAX TNT's and Lucent APX 8000's, these are carrier class machines and definately have the processing power. They are very configurable and most telco technicians will have experience with them.
I have only tested a MAX TNT running 16 E1's and 2 DSP-96 cards but it worked extremely well. 


Using a single DS3 LIM and 6 DSP96 cards would provide enough ports, 
however remember that NO GIGABIT module is available for the MAX TNT and 
you cannot VLAN them.

"Consolidates a variety of access lines (including channelized T1/E1, 
channelized DS3, ISDN PRI, leased T1/E1 or Fractional T1/E1 Frame 
Relay, and channelized T1/E1 frame relay) over high-speed digital 
trunks for up to 960 simultaneous data connections"


The Lucent TNT has been the standard for years. It works like a charm.

Trust me dude..  You don't want a lucent TNT.  If your going all out for
an DS3 and you don't want to multiplex it then you will need something
that will take a DS3 which I don't believe TNT's do.  Purchase an
AS5400HPX they will and work very well.  Set yourself up with some
dialpeers etc and your good to go.  Trust me.  I have done it.

Hello all,
We are looking for some hardware requirements/recommendations to be



able


to handle a full DS3's worth of TDM -> VoIP traffic. The DS3 would



bring


24 calls per T1 x 28 T1s = 672 simultaneous calls. We would then need



to


convert those calls into G729 SIP VoIP calls to send to our asterisk



box


over ethernet. Since everything is going in/out of asterisk is 729,



and


no features are needed, I think it can handle the routing. If not, I



can


whip up a SER box.

We currently have a Cisco 7206VXR (1 voice resource) and a Cisco



AS5300


(120 voice resources). The DS3 will also have SS7 signaling on it.

Recommendations/comments/concerns/rants are graciously welcomed.




Lucent TNT



Thanks,
Matthew
