Hi,

I've been asked to spec up a small Asterisk system, which needs to:
- Connect to ISDN2e (I'm thinking of using a B100P card here)
- Connect to the POTS (A400P with 1 FXO)
- Allow remote phones (thinking of an ETC 6050 utilising IAX2)

It is a requirement that the POTS analogue card picks up CLI information -
and I'm in the UK which, historically, has lousy CLI support.... certainly,
my AX100P doesn't do it... does anyone have any good news about the A400P,
or do I need to be hunting down a genuine Digium card?

I'm further assuming that an IAX2 phone will work far more reliably through
firewalls & non-static IP addresses (Asterisk box will be on a static IP,
remote/roaming "office" may not be) than a SIP phone, based on my
experiences of getting IAX2 between Asterisks to work.

So -- am I on the right lines with the hardware I've specced above, or
should I be looking at alternatives?
Cheers,
Ade.

Can't you leave the picking up of the cli to the isdn line?
Even if it is an ISDN1 (just a B-channel and a D-channel), the chances
of tranferring channel info, like CLI, is better.

I would leave the pots-interfaces for the people stuck with an ordinary
phone (or fax)..
Did you consider sipura 3102? Easier to scale than analogue cards.
And perhaps easier to deploy, no spof,..

If a call comes in over the POTS line, then I still need to get CLI over it.

I'm not sure if the ISDN can be specified to "replace" the POTS analogue
line, whilst retaining the analogue line + ADSL.

Ade.

I haven't tried any yet; but http://x100p.eu have a few for sale; plus there
are some on eBay, one of which I intend to try out, as it looks very similar
(identical) to the 6050 for some ?30 less...

Cheers,
Ade.

I've had good success with my Allnet IP-7960 phones. They have the
ability in the firmware to either do SIP or IAX, and they even have a
mode where you dial one prefix to send the call out using the SIP
protocol, and another prefix to send the call out over the IAX protocol.
They're not the best-looking phones in the world, but they seem to work
quite well.
