It would be ALOT more reliable and ALOT cheaper to use a channel bank. Besides, DIGIUM recommends against using more than 3 of it's cards in a single box. TDM400P cards are designed for low density applications where you might need 6-8 lines. For 8+ lines, you are much better off with a channel bank.
