hi,
My second question: for a branch office of about 20 people, which E1
card do you advise? Would the TE210P be a good choice? (number of
concurrent calls would be max 10 for now) Why?
An E1 has 30 lines, so you would be perfect with a TE110P. Connecting an
E1 to a company PABX is however an expensiveoption, so you might want to
compare the prices with 10 analogue lines or maybe 5 BRI lines. I would
not let the price of hardware decide this because you will need to
pay a fixed cost per month for PSTN lines, so check these prices first.
Asterisk is scalable in the sence that you can add more later if you
have an available PCI slot.
Even though they don't appear to be shipping yet, don't forget the
TDM2400P's from Digium. Up to 24 FXO or FXS ports per full length PCI card.
ok. So, with this in mind, if I was to acquire that 24 ports, 1 FXO
modules, the rest FSX modules. I could have 1 public telephone number to
the PSTN (3 wasted for this example), 20 analog phones inside the
company's branch, each phone having its extension in Asterisk? Or could
I have just the smaller card allowing me 1 FSO and 3 FSX and some kind
of "hub" to connect some number of analog phones (let's say 20)? If so,
does the number of FXS limit the number of my simultaneous telephone
calls?
Sorry for the dumb questions, but your answers are highly appreciated.
Sorry, but there is really no such thing as a "hub" for telephone lines.
Each analog phone must be plugged into its own FXS port.
