Hi Folks,

Does anybody have experiences with plugging 3 TDM400P cards in one PC??

I think about a Asterisk box handling 8 incoming analogue lines and providing 4 lines to an old analogue PBX.

I read a lot about trouble with the TDM400P cards so this idea seams to be not really god, or?



We've got four TDM400P cards in one PC running without any trouble, since January.

It's not a fair comparison between new cards that come from Digium with support and a second-hand channel bank from Ebay. If an analog phone interface doesn't work, I can figure out if the problem is the card, the wiring, or the phone with a voltmeter, and unless the entire card gets fried, it's just one phone that's out, and even so, unless the entire computer is fried it's only four. If a T1 interface, technology with which I have no experience, fails, the entire system is out, and I don't have a clue how to find out what the problem is, is it the wiring? The channel bank? Is tab A plugged into slot B? Did the channel bank turn up on Ebay because someone else couldn't get it to work either? Lastly, I was told that I would have to bring in a technician to wire up a channel bank, I didn't have to do any wiring with the TDM400P's - I plugged in the cards, took the RJ-11's out of the PBX I was replacing, and plugged them in to the cards.
