[Asterisk-Users] How to connect many analog lines to Asterisk?
Hello! If I have more than a hundred analog telephones (analog lines) that need to be connected to Asterisk PBX, what kind of hardware do I need, and where can I buy it?

Hi, try to search with google for channelbank or something similar. Giorgio Josip Gracin wrote: Hello!

Wow, first of all, if you have a hundred analog lines, you are doing yourself a disservice.a 4 T1's would be much much cheaper, and much easier to manage. Anyway, for 100 analog lines, I'd get 3 adit 600 channel banks and fill them with FXO cards, and then buy 1 TE406 Quad T1 card for your asterisk box. -Darren -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Josip Gracin Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 5:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [Asterisk-Users] How to connect many analog lines to Asterisk?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] How to connect many analog lines to Asterisk?
I don't know why Darren syas 3 Adits since each one can handle 48 FXO/FXS channels, so 2 make 96. Anyhow each Adit connects to 2 T1 ports on a TE405/6. With Adit 600 I don't see why TE406 is required since I believe the Adit 600 will take care of the echo, I might be wrong on this last one about the echo. In any case, if what you want is FXS cards, then I would strongly recommend to get Adit 600 with CMG cards, then you can get by with a $400 PC for asterisk, since you don't need any digium cards for that, because the CMG in the Adit will handle the main load of transcoding. The one limitation is, that if you need faxing, or FXO ports then don't go with the CMG. It might still be worthwhile to get a single span T1 card from Digium, use an Adit to cross connect the FXS cards/channels that are connected to fax machines to that T1, as well as any FXO cards that need to go to asterisk.

Let me clear this up a little bit. There are hundreds of telephone devices inside the building, all connected to a PBX, and there is an E1/T1 connection to the PSTN (being statistically multiplexed, obviously). What I'd like to do is to replace the PBX with Asterisk. I don't see how I can make the situation better by using 4 T1's?

What you meant is you have 100 analog phones... Big difference... (OTOH, only a single letter: FXO - FXS) ;-) But seriously, there really is a big difference whether you are trying to connect 100 analog lines (i.o.w. 100 incoming POTS lines from the PSTN) or 100 analog phones... If you had 100 incoming POTS lines, 4 PRI spans would be way cheaper and way easier, hence the advice! Anyway, for 100 analog lines, I'd get 3 adit 600 channel banks and fill them with FXO cards, and then buy 1 TE406 Quad T1 card for your asterisk box. Thanks, I think that's what I need. If you want 100 analog phones, make sure you get FXS cards in stead of FXO cards... FXO cards are for incoming lines, FXS for phones... (FXO stands for Foreign Exchange Office, ie PABX or PSTN, FXS for Foreign Exchange Subscriber, ie telephones) HTH -- Francesco Peeters GPG Key = AA69 E7C6 1D8A F148 160C D5C4 9943 6E38 D5E3 7704 If your program doesn't recognize my signature, please visit http://www.CAcert.org/index.php?id=3 to retrieve the Root CA certificate. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

You asked how to connect lines, so he answered that question. The answer is basically the same just change the FXO in the channel bank to FXS. -Jonathan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Josip Gracin Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 12:11 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] How to connect many analog lines to Asterisk?
