The thing about PCI-cards were just a way to illustrate how I'm thinking, not a sollution. I'm sorry for the confusion i brought. It's already clear that an Adit 600 will work as an Channel Bank. The problem was just that, either we use on E1 to the Adit, but there might be some issues with that, since we're also using one PRI E1 to the telco. Then we�re going to use an Ethernet connection to the Adit, and configure it as an MG with MGCP.
That's why I was wondering if there are any people in the list which have used Asterisk with Adit (or other channel banks) controlled by MGCP. There are also almost no documentation regarding Asterisk and MGCP. If I get this to work, I might contribute to that part on the Wiki. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven Critchfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 10:36 AM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Adit 600 as VoIP router (MGCP) and Asterisk > On Fri, 2005-01-21 at 09:06 +0100, Daniel Nystr�m wrote: > > Got at suggestion from CarrierAccess to use the Adit 600 as an VoIP > > router using MGCP IP protocol, instead of controlling it through an > > E1. > > Have anyone tried this configuration?
