RE: [Asterisk-Users] Sipura or X100P Option

2004-10-20 Thread Jim Van Meggelen
The TDM400 improves on the X100P in every way. Also, because the
channels are nearly identical in the way they relate to the system, you
won't have to make many changes to your dialplan to implement it.
Running an external FXO interface (which will need to run over an IP
link) may deliver results you weren't anticipating (echo is one that
comes to mind). I'd say the TDM400 would be the thing to implement,
although I would also mention that the Sipura is very well regarded
product.

Purchase a TDM04B bundle and you'll have your three lines, plus a fourth
for future growth. You can order a TDM03B to and possibly save $80, but
the sage advise is to get the hardware installed and then don't mess
with it - fully provision the card when you install it and you'll never
have to touch it again.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Jim.

 Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Sipura or X100P Option
 
 
 Hello,
 
 Our client currently has two X100P's running in an HP box 
 that has been running for almost a year now with no problems. 
  They have found however that two phone lines are not enough 
 and are bringing in a third phone line.  I wouldn't expect 
 this line to be used very often as there are only two 
 employees in the office.
 
 I am curious which route to head.  I am hesitant to throw 
 another X100P in the box and create the potential for 
 problems, or should I use a Sipura as an FXO device.
 
 Has anyone had any experience with Sipura as an FXO?  Are 
 there any issues I should know about?
 
 Thanks in advance,

It may be worth a trial. If the box has troubles with a third card,
throw the toy away and get a Mac with YDL:

It's probably OK as a backup line. We've got a problem with the SPA-3K
not recognising incoming calls on a Japanese PSTN line, but that
wouldn't be of concern to you if you are in the US or Canada. There is
a slight Echo on the Sipura if you have to raise the TX gain, but
consecutive firmware updates seem to have steadily improved this, so
after a few more firmware updates, the echo might be gone entirely.

Configuring the Sipura can be a bit intimidating. I have never seem
any device with so many settings. However, you only need to play with
a few of them, so once you worked out what to touch and what to leave
alone, this will not be a big deal anymore.

Somebody reported having blown up an SPA-3K and getting support can be
a bit of an exercise in patience.

Other than that the SPA-3K would seem like a very simple upgrade
option in your case and probably good enough.

Sell the boards and get your self a TDM03b. It will work allot better and
save you time.
