Hi James, we did sucessfully run two TE410P with 8xE1 in a decent Intel P4-3200 machine with quite heavy line usage. No codec conversion course. I don't believe that there is a hard limit of E1s coded into Asterisk. But the maximum lines you can squeeze out of your specific hardware depends on

Chris, I am running 8 spans on a few servers. It is when you go beyond that. If anyone is running 9 or more spans successfully, please let us know their configuration, it'll be very helpful. -- Zeeshan A Zakaria On 2010-03-25 12:19 PM, Christian Victor christ...@victormedia.de wrote: Hi James,

Tzafrir, so you have actually worked with more than 192 concurrent zap channels, which means more than 8 spans, on a single server, and can verify that it actually works without freezing asterisk. I really need specs for this system. I'll recompile zaptel, no problem, but it'll save me one extra

In theory asterisk can handle 8 spans, which means 192 concurrent calls if all spans are T1. In reality after 6 spans it starts giving problems. I recently shipped a server to a client in Taiwan, and before shipment it was put under a load of 100 plus concurrent calls (zap channels) for two whole

A good idea is to call sangoma tech support or email them with your config but as per my knowledge and experience and as per Rhino's tech support and Digium techsupport suggestions which I got when dealing with a lot of spans, you can't have 10 PRIs running under one asterisk. You'll need to
