That's been our experience with AudioCodes as well. Configuration is a real pain but after that they just work. Darren Wiebe darren@aleph-com.net On 03/01/2011 1:45 PM, Michael Collins wrote:
AudioCodes are indeed beastly to configure, so be sure to save your config once you get it working. :) My only experience with an audiocodes was that it was a pain to get it working but once it worked it seemed to be okay. It wasn't my box so I can't speak to the long-term viability of the AudioCodes.

Yes it is a hotel install. Not that I'm hooking up one, but I met somebody who's a 'system architect' and has been putting proprietary systems for clients for a while. He got interested and asked me for a hardware sizing so to speak, if I was to do it my way. For HA, having a standby machine seems more than sufficient. For ~160 fxs, I think gateways (Audiocodes MP124?) would be a better idea. It'll save me doing the transcoding on the FS box as well. I hear the MP124 is a beast to configure, but works just fine.
