It should be possible that way. A few caveats: - Gain settings (also on your PRI/BRI lines) are crucial for faxing - set it too loud and the handshake will fail, set it too soft and the fax will fail after a certain amount of time. Quality of ATA's is also very important with this. - Make sure your box has enough horsepower to cover all the interrupts!

Every now and again a frame will be dropped or duplicated to make up for the frequency difference. I guess ecm faxes will handle this if the frequency error is small enough. It would be sweet if the timing ports on the digium pri cards and the junghanns bri cards were/are compatible.

The Junghanns and Sirrix devices are not consumer kit, and you should not expect to simply multiply the cost of a single-ISDN card by the number of ports :) Asterisk has /vastly/ lowered the entry cost for telephony - ask around to find the average prices of, say, an E1 module for a proprietary PBX or a 16-channel BRI ISDN module... then suddenly 600 EUR for 8 channels will seem like a very good deal indeed.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] 4 port BRI options ?
I'm using Junghanns 4 port card. There is also an 8 port card. Installation is very simple, download a startup image from Junghanns.net and it does the rest... It works - I've no complaints. ps - FAX reception works - as part of asterisk. I assume you are using spandsp? I am thinking of another solution for fax. I have an * box with one PRI card and I'm thinking of adding a quad BRI card in the same box. A separate box running fasx server software will also be equipped with a BRI card for faxing (I cannot use spandsp for various reasons, one of them being that we must log / register all faxes). By keeping the path all digital I'm hoping to avoid trouble with echo (cancellation), interrupted faxes etc. Anyone have an idea on this? ___ 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

I'm using Junghanns 4 port card. There is also an 8 port card. Installation is very simple, download a startup image from Junghanns.net and it does the rest... It works - I've no complaints. However - you are somewhat reliant on Junghanns.net for all future changes - etc. I'm running... Asterisk CVS-D2005.05.02.22.00.00-05/04/05 I'd be MUCH more comfortable if somehow Junghanns changes were rolled into the main stream code... I'd also love to see Digium with a multi-port BRI-ISDN adaptor for both US and non-US use. Its also possible to configure the card jumpers (add some power?) and then plug an ISDN phone into the card. ps - FAX reception works - as part of asterisk. -- . . ___. .__ Posix Systems - Sth Africa. e.164 VOIP ready /| /| / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Mark J Elkins, Cisco CCIE / |/ |ARK \_/ /__ LKINS Tel: +27 12 807 0590 Cell: +27 82 601 0496 ___ 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

Aside from paying for a recognised brand name, with Eicon you get on-board DSPs and firmware, as well as software to make the card appear as a series of /dev/tty devices (and/ or CAPI) under Linux. The Junghanns BRI boards have no such on-board logic, they are pure telephone interfaces driven by the host - and as such they are /perfect/ for Asterisk. We use an Eicon Diva Server 4BRI for our fax server because of the TTY interface for Hylafax - the DSPs themselves do all the fax negotiation / compression and it works extremely well. However, we're also running * on that machine via CAPI, and the board gives us the flexibility to share 8 channels between * and Hylafax really easily :) Cheers, Gavin. ___ 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

RE: [Asterisk-Users] 4 port BRI options ?
Wow that eicon is certainly quite expensive... ive found 2 sellers in the UK so far selling at over £1000 . I think the Junghans comes in at around £600. Is the Eicon that much better ? -Original Message- From: Nardis Dome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 June 2005 12:49 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] 4 port BRI options ?
