Re: [Asterisk-Users] 4 X100P + 1 TDMP400(4 FXS): Only by miracle?
Have you looked at possibly using the TDM400P with 4 FXO modules? Then you would only need to have 2 cards (currently) in the system and possibly have room for expansion in the future, if needed. That's an excellent idea, and maybe the unique way out. But, what do I do with all my X100Ps that I bought from Digium? Give them back and get my money back and buy a TDM400P(4FXO) ? :-) Isamar: I was having the same problems with a similar board. Unfortunately, there are only 4 PCI IRQs for the BIOS to assign, so SOMETHING is going to end up sharing an IRQ in your configuration, and this will break. Perhaps somebody needs to indicate this in a FAQ somewhere: X100P boards do _NOT_ play well together on the same interrupt. On my box, I was having nothing but trouble with 2 X100P boards and a TDM400P with a single FXS module. I moved cards around, and found a configuration that is problem free by avoiding the last (bottom: furthest away from the AGP) slot in the system. Since you have 5 PCI cards in your box, it sounds like you can't really do that. BTW: theoretically, there is likely a way to make Linux's APIC support force them on different APIC IRQs, but I never found a practical way to do this, nor do I know enough about APIC to even know if this would fix the problem. I don't know what to tell you, other than to echo the statement that you'll probably be better served by installing a 4 FXO TDM400P card, even though that's gonna cost you another US$400. You might try asking here on the list if anybody wants to buy some X100P boards... -fedl ___ 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

If I don't get it, I'm gonna order the TDM400P(4FXO), otherwise I would need to have two machines what'd be a big mess.

You have even a fixed number of IRQs in certain buses. PCI only has 4 IRQ wires in the sockets. Anything with more than 4 PCI slots is sharing the IRQ line with some other card unless the board is server class and is actually running more than one PCI bus. You are more likely to spend less money on the Digium card than a new motherboard with the specs you would need. At least the X100Ps should maintain a fair amount of their value. -- 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] 4 X100P + 1 TDMP400(4 FXS): Only by miracle?
Hi folks, I'm trying to make an * PBX for a customer using 4 X100Ps and 1 TDM400p(4FXS). The problem I'm facing is to make one unique IRQ for each PCI slot/board since shared IRQs create all kind of weird noises and echos. Anybody got any workaround for that? Any recommended motherboard to accomplish that ? Currently, I'm playing with an ASUS A7V600.
