Yes, you can use IAX between boxes to handle a shared dial plan. There are no single answers. System requirements vary depending on whether the same box is doing translation, authentication, conferencing, voicemail, IVR, CDR, call recording, all of them, or none. Generally, we think hot swappable disks and ECC RAM are more important than a couple GHz.

I will be using a combination of voice and data and I don't expect that all of the lines will ever be full. Since the people how answered only recommend 1 TE4**P card (thanks Steven) in a box I imagine that the solution is to setup peering between separate asterisk boxes in order to create a single overall "application". So if I did do two cards any recommendations on whether I should use the 3.3v or 5.0v cards? Or on motherboard/memory/cpu specs? Obviously I would make sure that there are plenty of IRQs on the motherboard to handle the cards.

Do you want a TDM400 series card or a TE400 series card. Quick mention of Digium part numbers, TDM/S/X are analog cards, T/E/TE are T1 or E1 or T1 and E1 capable cards. the first number is a port capacity. >From Digiums site, you get this.... The Wildcard TDM400P is a half-length PCI 2.2 compliant card that supports from one to four telephone interfaces for connecting analog telephones or analog lines to a PC. ............................... The naming convention for the TDM bundles is as follows: TDM X Y B. Where "TDM" denotes that the card is TDM, "X" denotes the number of FXS modules, "Y" denotes the number of FXO modules, and "B" indicates that that this product is a bundle. So you see there isn't a TDM405P or TDM410P. There are however TE405P and TE410P cards. When you get to T1 or E1 configurations, you shouldn't look at more than 2 cards per server, and 2 cards should probably be only undertaken with extreme care and caution. Having a simple hardware failure take down 96 lines is bad, but not as bad as taking down 192 or 288. If you are routing 288 calls, your downtime cost to repair a single box will quickly exceed the cost of redundant servers. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
