RE: [Asterisk-Users] An FXO version of IAXy?

I'd be very interested to know how your Audiocodes install goes.
 
My experience was not good at all with an MP-108.  It was very inconsistent, 
and extremely hard to configure.  I paid $275 for support from ABP, the 
Audiocodes USA support provider, which was a waste.  Thier answer was mostly 
"oh your lines are different", or " it must be something on your asterisk box". 
 I've gotten lots of Digium, Sangoma, and Sipura external boxed working.the 
Audioocodes was impossible

I've been testing a AudioCodes MP104-FXO-C3S (around $1000) 4-port FXO
box. It works, but the number of configuration options are staggering,
complex, and inter-related, and the documentation & support just aren't
good enough to make installation easy.

The D-link DVG-3004S is pretty much impossible to get.

There is also the Mediatrix 1104 (also around $500), but it is reputed
to be hard to configure (no web interface - just snmp!).

Slapping a Sangoma A200 into a computer (and configuring it through
Zaptel/Asterisk) is much, much simpler than trying to make the
"appliance gateways" work, at least in my experience.

like the ATA186), but one that presents an FXO interface instead, so it
can be connected not to phones, but the PSTN? 


There's a hugh market for such a box, and none of the current 
manufacturers have addressed the one-to-four pstn line boxes with 
anything that would be considered reasonable quality. The GS 488 appears 
to be their 'test-the-market' box, but its not very usable based on my 
testing. The Mediatrix 1204 does an excellent job with audio, but is 
over-priced and under-supported from my perspective.


The spa3k comes the closest to providing a reasonable interface with 
acceptable audio, but has several functions that really need to be 
fixed. I hope the Linksys folks address those issues instead of dropping 
the box.


From my perspective, designing a fxo box that can interface to the many 
country standards and has a reasonable echo canceller is not an easy 
task. Much more difficult than designing a fxs box. And, if you look at 
the cost of the hardware echo canceller chips that can support 128 taps, 
the manufacturing cost of a fxo box becomes rather expensive.


If you look at the market from a manufacturer's perspective, the sales 
of fxo boxes are significantly less then the sales of fxs boxes. 
Therefore it makes sense what the majority of them are doing from an R&D 
and manufacturing perspective (eg, address the larger market before 
incurring the expense of the smaller market).

Hello--

In the interest of Symmetry, does anyone else in the world see any need
for a device like the IAXy (or the SIP ones from other manufacturers,
like the ATA186), but one that presents an FXO interface instead, so it
can be connected not to phones, but the PSTN? 

  
Absolutely. FXO ata's are the biggest problem I have. I install Astlinux 
PBX units which work great but we have had to rely on the SPA-3000 for 
FXO component. An Asterisk specific FXO unit would be excellent.

Yes!  I think a 1 port FXO and/or 2 port FXO/FXS IAXy would be a great 
addition.  I have been in search of a device like this for about 4 
months now,  and neither of the devices I have tried (HT-488 and 
Wellgate 3701a) have really been particularly well thought out 
(UNDERSTATEMENT).


I think for the SOHO market and also for people who are just learning 
about asterisk, such an item would be a great addition to digiums 
Product portfolio.  I certainly would love to support Digium by buying 
such an item.
