Re: [Asterisk-Users] Solution for 12 to 16 FXO to asterisk connection

Ben,

I assume from your posts that you are in an area serviced by a small independent phone company. We have this situation as well, and you might very well have to pay much higher rates than other areas. You might try contacting Long Distance carriers (we use Paetec) and find out if they can work a deal with the local provider and help you get it for cheaper. The savings on Long Distance can also make up the additional cost for the T1.

Heck...our CO still had analog switches until about 10 years ago! PRI is not an option going with the local telco. Luckily, there are a couple of non-local telco's that can apparently service me for a more reasonable rate.

500-600 is more typical these days depending on where you are, but insist on PRI unless the service central office can not provide it.

Is this standard in the industry? My local telco in the US wants $1050/month for T1 (not PRI!) I can buy 24 POTS lines for $840/month. Gotta love small towns!

Not sure about where you are but 16 pots lines generally run about $25-$30 /
month = $480/month.  For about $400/month I can get a PRI (23+1) and go
straight into a TE100.
 
Just a thought.

cant find a cisco one so far.
 
So what i need is a voip gateway?
i found the octtel sp1632 for about USD.1500
http://www.octtel.com.tw/eng/product_1632_2.php
 
so i configure the equipment to register with the asterisk? as sip? or
some other thing? it will only be used to make outgoing calls, the
config is like this
 
nortel (12 port pstn card)----->(device with
16fxo)----->asterisk----->voip_provider
 
no chance to use an e1/t1 on the nortel.

How about a used cisco iad2400 with a 16fxo module? Check ebay - no t1
card required. Probably $1000

connection
    
Hi, today a customer asked how to use asterisk with 12 to 16 FXO
ports. I can use a channel bank with 16 FXO ports and connect the
channel bank with a T1 cable to a T1 card in the Asterisk Server.
Asterisk will then send the calls to the Voip provider over the
internet.
 
However a 16 fxo port channel bank is about USD 1500 + a t1 card USD
500 + a USD 1000 computer = 3 thousand us dollars + my installation
fees (life isn't free).
 
Sounds expensive for such a small install.
 
Suggestions?
