Hello List,
The main issue is server selection regarding PCI bus connectivity for Asterisk solutions. Most offerings on HP Proliants, something I've been looking into, include PCI-X and/or PCI-e expansion slots. I know PCI-e is totally different from PCI and PCI-X so, for now, that's not an issue. However, regarding PCI and PCI-X, and after googling for a while and checking wikipedia and whatnot, I'm still not clear on my main issue: Can one use a PCI interface card in a PCI-X slot ? If so, under what conditions ? (ex: 3.3v cards only ? PCI-X bus speed is brought down ? what ?) The objective would be to use Digium's echo cancelling PRI and BRI cards and/or beroNet's BRI cards on, for example, a Proliant ML350 G4 or G5 containing PCI-X slots -- would such combination be technically feasible ? If not, where are you guys getting servers for your PCI based solutions ? Can anyone shed some light into my doubts ? Pointers, documentation, experiences ? The second, kind of "attatched" issue, is associated to the growing PCI-e buses in the current servers. I know Sangoma already has a PRI card for PCI-e. What about Digium ? Other PRI, BRI manufacturers ? Thanks in advance and regards to all, -- Ex Vito _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
