Hi,
I am presently thinking of making just a demo application because i need to
assemble it real quick....hooking up an analog phone line for an input
channel...with a dial out feature as well..
I think I would need an XP100 wildcard as FXO .not sure of what to use for
FXS... Incidentally steven informed me that anything with a PCI bus even may
be a P133 could do it...I am presently in india and trying hard to find a
vendor... getting the stuff shipped might take upto 2 weeks ...with usual
custom delays ..
Suggestions are heartily appreciated ..
thanks

Hi Digvijay-

I have done something similar to what you're looking to do, so maybe I can
help you. I currently have a system that takes up to 600 simultaneous IVR
calls, supplied by a large private DMS-100 PBX over 20 E1 spans. I think


my


load is a little higher than yours however, because the calls typically


are


very short (5 seconds).

Here's a summary of what I've found - please contact me directly for more
detail:

I suggest:
* Use 1 processor (example: 2.8Ghz P4) for every 4 E1's (example:  one
TE405P card) when you have that much call setup traffic.

* Try to do as much as possible using the dialplan (extensions.conf). AGI
scripts are very powerful but cost you in performance when you're running
large numbers of lines.

* For the processor to use, see the Wiki for suggestions. I've used P4


and


Xeon based Tyan and Intel motherboards with success.

* Where you get the hardware depends of course on where you are located.

Good luck!

Hi,
I am an asterisk newbie and looking around for information . I wish


someone


could take their valuable time off to answer my query in detail.
I wish to set up an IVR system that can allow user authentication and
therefter accept 2-3 inputs from users ..generate a key and transmit the
same in voice back to the user .
The system will intially have small load but if the whole package in


future


may have huge loads .. from 1000 to 10000 simultaneous peak time callers
with 1 minute duration calls ( just to mention how scalable we would


ideally


desire it to be )
At present we would need a maximum of 10 simultaneous users peak load
capability.
From what i know so far asterisk is the most cost effective and sound
option.
Now to my question..
1-) What would be the hardware requirements in these different cases
a-) for a single analog phone line for demo purposes intially to
b-) a peak time 10 simultaneous calls facility and later
c-) going upto 10,000 simultaneous calls scalability
2-) Where can i procure the hardware from
I was thinking of taking 30 access channels of 64 Kbps and 1 signalling
channel of 64 Kbps (30B + D). for an ISDN compatible EPABX
Kindly let me know of your opinion
Thanks

Now if you need to get an demo application going and need it going quick why dont you just install
asterisk on some box (maybe a P2-300+ suggestable cause compiling will take ages on a P1-133) and
use all software until you get the hardware. Use a software phone (see voip-info.org) so you can get
your demo coded. Then once you got the rest of the hardware you can hang it onto the PSTN. This
will get you going for now. I guess you could just use some sort of SIP provider to give you an dial
in phone line too.
