Re: [Asterisk-Users] TE405P and Dell Poweredge 6450 Incompatible?

Quoting Scott Stingel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I think there are TE410P compatibility issues with other motherboards
 The tech I spoke with this morning mentioned some 3Com products that also 
use
the "TigerJet" chipset being incompatible with certain Dell machines. The tech
told me that Dell's response is "don't use TigerJet chipset-based cards."
If there is a known compatibility issue with some chipsets, I think it
would be good idea for Digium to publish them.
 I completly agree. I wouldn't have bought the card had the page said
"Incompatible with Dell 6450"
Otherwise IMHO, they
should offer to accept your return of the TE410P so you can pursue an
alternative.
 They are going to ship me a 410 to try in one of the 3.3volt solts on this
machine (its got so many PCI slots) and if that card also doesn't work, they
said I can get "credit" (not a refund.)
Please keep us up to date on what happens.
 Will do.

What puzzles me is I don't know of any other adapter card that has these
sorts of problems.  It makes me suspect that Digium's design is a little
marginal, so minor variations in motherboard design throw it off.

FWIW, I have a PowerEdge 800 with two TDM cards in it.  They work.  Can't
vouch for whether a TE405P would work in it, though.

Hi Matthew-
I think there are TE410P compatibility issues with other motherboards as 
well.  Google the archives (site:digium.com) under "HP Proliant G4" for 
example, as I remember some problems there.

This response from Digium tech support, if quoted accurately, is not 
acceptable to customers for obvious reasons.   If there is a known 
compatibility issue with some chipsets, I think it would be good idea 
for Digium to publish them.  Otherwise IMHO, they should offer to accept 
your return of the TE410P so you can pursue an alternative.

Perhaps a call to the marketing people at Digium would be in order?  
It's just bad PR for the company when these things happen.

Please keep us up to date on what happens.
regards

Hey gang,
Just pulled out our brand new $1,500 TE405P and put it into a Dell Poweredge

Tried the card in every slot it would fit in. Even took out existing, working
cards and put the 405 in those slots and still nothing.
Tried the card in a Poweredge 2450. Bingo, although it is listed as "Unknown

Called Digium. Their answer "Since the card works in the 2450, you will have to
use it in the 2450. The card is good." My response was "the 2450 is a single P3
500 and no where near powerful enough to handle 92 simultaneous PRI->g729
calls."
 Has anyone else out there had success/failures with a TE4XX card in Dell
Poweredges?
 I've been on hold at digium for a while now and I get the feeling that Digium
is gonna say "too bad sucka..the card works..*click*" but if enough people have
a problem with this card in Dell Poweredges, then perhaps they will take a
closer look and figure out the problem.

I have 2 power edge 400sc each with a te405p running fc3, it recognizes
the cards but one of the ports on one of the cards seems to be bad.
This is keeping me from going further and getting * installed. I will
let you know how the cards work when I get this port issue fixed.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] TE405P and Dell Poweredge 6450 Incompatible?

2005-04-05 Thread Brian Chrystal
we had problems with a TE410 i think, with a dell poweredge server.  the single 
span cards worked, but when we put in an e1/t1 card, 1 or 4 span, they failed 
to work.

spent over a month with digium, mostly waiting for them to respond, and they 
said there is an incompatability with dell poweredge series.  mostly due to the 
fact that most dell stuff uses cheap gear (chipset was the problem they said)

so now we use 4 single span cards rather than the 4 span, since they dont make 
t1 only 4 span cards anymore.
