Hi, To go full circle on my eight port Gateway question we tested the Patton unit for FXS and it worked fine, but the GUI proved to be somewhat complicated to the Interconnect.
For us creating a .cfg file and importing it was relatively trivial. The Patton support was quite responsive. In the end we went with Quintum which has a GUI that the interconnect was able to manage/use to make the changes themselves. Support here was also good. The interconnect is quite concerned about being able to manage their own support which is fine with us! Thank you all for your comments, Claude Today's Topics: 1. Re: 8 port gateway (Claude Hayn) 2.

We are currently testing a Patton SN4112 to see if we want to go further to their 4118SN 8 port unit. 8 ports for $400 is very attractive if it flies. So far it has been somewhat less than easy to set up and I wonder how an would manage it. We are seriously considering building our own at this point, but was/am hoping for someone else to support this element. I'll let you know where we end up. Thank you, Claude ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2012 17:07:13 -0400 From: James Babiak <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] 8 port gateway To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Clyde, Thanks for the update. I've never heard of Patton before, and there doesn't seem to be too many reviews on them. Are you using this for FXO or FXS? If FXO, I did find this thread about them which includes some example configurations that could help: http://www.pbxinaflash.com/community/index.php?threads/strange-problem-betwe en-patton-fxo-and-asterisk.9941/ It looks like it has a Cisco-ish CLI interface, which I personally prefer over WebGUIs. Regarding how an interconnect would manage it, I assume that it has some way to provision itself from a server (pull it's config from tftp/http). Once you have a working configuration, you should be able to script a configuration generator to provision other devices as well as changes in the device/port configuration. Good luck! -James On 06/17/2012 03:32 PM, Claude Hayn wrote: > Hello, > > As a follow up to my original request, we decided against Grandstream (thank > you) and Linksys (Cisco...) > > We are currently testing a Patton SN4112 to see if we want to go further to > their 4118SN 8 port unit. 8 ports for $400 is very attractive if it flies. > So far it has been somewhat less than easy to set up and I wonder how an > interconnect would manage it. > > We are seriously considering building our own at this point, but was/am > hoping for someone else to support this element. > > I'll let you know where we end up. > > Thank you, > > Claude > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
