Interchangeable 12 Port, 8 Port and 4 Port Analog Interface Cards – Openvox A1200P0012, A800P80, A800E44, A400P04, A400E01
VOIP projects mostly require some form of interconnectivity with analog trunks and analog extensions. Analog Interface cards are used to provide that interconnectivity by converting IP into analog signals and vice versa.
Analog trunks are the telephone lines coming from public telephone exchanges and terminating on the user premises which enables users to dial out one outgoing call or receive one incoming call (per line), through the PSTN network. One needs FXO cards/FXO ports to interface the analog trunk lines with IP Telephony server/soft-switch.
Analog extensions refer to analog telephones/fax machines and other analog devices used at the user end. In many projects, it may not be feasible to replace all the analog phones with IP phones and hence users may want to retain some analog phones in their VOIP environment. One needs FXS cards/ FXS ports to connect the analog phones/fax machines with IP Telephony server/soft-switch.
The analog interface cards can be inserted into an empty PCI or PCI Express slot in a computer/server containing the IP Telephony software (IP PBX). Though the below mentioned cards are populated with certain popular configurations, they have a modular design. It is possible to remove individual FXO/FXS modules and replace them with FXS/FXO modules, if required.
The A1200P0012 is an 12-port base card that is populated with 12 FXO modules. So, one can connect up to 12 CO lines/ PSTN lines with this card.
The A800P80 is an 8-port base card that is populated with 8 FXS modules. So, one can connect up to 8 FXS analog stations (like analog phones) with this card.
The A800E44 is an 8-port base card that is populated with 4 FXS modules and 4 FXO modules. So, one can connect up to 4 analog phones (FXS) and 4 trunk lines (FXO) with this card.
The A400P04 is an 4-port base card that is populated with 4 FXO modules. So, one can connect up to 4 trunk lines (CO/PSTN lines) with this card.
The A400E01 is an 4-port base card that is populated with 1 FXO module (expandable up to 4 FXO modules in future). So, one can connect up to 1 trunk line with this card.
By using these cards along with an open-source PBX software like Asterisk, Trixbox, Elastix, FreeSWITCH, Yate, PBX in a Flash and even some proprietary softwares, it is possible to build your own IP PBX and connect it to analog trunk lines/analog extensions using the analog interface cards. By using a single PCI/PCI-Express slot and an analog trunk card(A1200P), it is possible to make up to 12 simultaneous calls over the PSTN network. Some of these cards support the latest PCI-Express standard, but others are compliant with PCI 2.2 (3.3V and 5V PCI slots).
These cards can be used for IP PBX applications or Voice Mail/IVR applications. They can be used in small companies/ larger companies, service industries, manufacturing plants and practically anywhere else where open-source PBX projects are deployed.
