You might google around on that term to see if any might have automatic failover. A DACS can be reconfigured to cross-connect various DS0s on the fly - although, no matter how fast the switchover, the carrier will always "see" that something happened. Depending upon what type of signalling you are using, the trunks could end up out of service for a period longer than it takes to switch to the backup server. Also, the system can potentially fail in several ways. At the T1 level, at the trunk level and at the application level. Depending upon the nature of the failure, the one-box does it all solution seems unlikely to work - at least not by itself. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Sent: Mon, June 13, 2005 11:35 am Hi, Please forgive my terminology, still a bit new to T1s and such. I'm looking for a way to have 5 T1s from a carrier terminate into some > type of box (multiplexer?), then be able to plug 7 asterisk servers into that > box (each with single port T1 card) and be able to have 2 * servers go down at any given time and not actually have the carrier see that anything has > happened. Obviously if a * server crashes the calls on it at the time will drop, but then once the box (multiplexer?) sees that a T1 is down (between the box and asterisk) it will terminate those DS0's on another T1. Basically some type of hunting/pooling/load balancing. Anyone heard of anything like this? Or am I off my rocker?
