VoIP gateway with PRI
Hello. I want to propose for purchasing a VoIP gateway to connect some PRI lines with FS. Basic operation has to be routing like this: One line PRI will be connected to phone provider. Some calls to certain numbers thru this connection must be routed to FS via IP. Other destination numbers must be routed to second PRI connection for legacy PBX for analog phones. So the VoIP gateway must have two PRI (T1/E1) connections and two LAN connection for failover. After a while this VoIP gateway will be as a tehnology converter from IP to PRI. So LAN connectors will be used for connection to FS in a failover manner. And two PRI connectors will be used to connect to legacy PBX which have two PRI inputs to handle 60 concurrent connection. I've spotted three models: 1) Patton SN4951/4E60V2GS/EUI 4T1/E1/PRI 60 VoIP Channels G.SHDSL for $5,000 2) Audiocodes Mediant 1000 M1K-D2 2T1/E1 for $3,800 3) Sangoma Vega 400 2 T1/E1 Digital Gateway for $4,437 Which of this is a better working solution with failover and extended call routing plans? Thansk. -- Mimiko desu.
Hi, I have used only the Audiocodes ones (had also Cisco, but Audiocodes is way better than it). I did not try what you want, but I think it can do it. Since I moved from Cisco to Audiocodes I am happy. Do you want to route calls from one PRI to the other without having any SIP involved for these calls? If this is the case the I'll have to ask my Audiocodes contacts about it. The Mediant-1,000 can use two ethernet ports with spanning tree for failover. I did not try it, and you should make sure that the software version you get supports this. __Yehavi: 2013/2/7 Mimiko <vbvbrj@gmail.com>

Yes, certain calls will be routed only between PRI interfaces, as the calls may be free of charge and loading VoIP sessions with those calls is unnecessary.
As another option, you can also get PRI cards that you install in the FS server itself that might prove cheaper (if you have the space). You could quite easily handle both PRI-PRI and PRI-SIP calls in the FS dialplan.
Some times ago I had this discussion on IRC about what is better to use in a failover environment: internal PRI cards or external VoIP gateways. So in case of connection two or more servers to a legacy PBX with only two PRI inputs, an external gateway is a better solution, despite internal cards a cheaper. Also if you have a PRI phone provider, in case of an FS server failing you have to manually switch the cable. But I will look to this links. -- Mimiko desu.

And since the PRI is within FS itself you don't need to worry about LAN failover between the PRI gateway and FS at all. On my FS servers I use bonded interfaces to get failover for LAN/WAN: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt -Steve On 7 February 2013 20:39, Steven Ayre <steveayre@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, I just checked with our Audiocodes support, and you can do what you want. In order to route a call from one PRI to the other, you insert an entry in two tables: Tel->IP: the destination is localhost. IP->Tel - the source is either any or localhost.

Some time ago (~2007) I used a Vega unit to connect to a Telco PRI, a PRI file transfer unit (predates broadband and FTP) and a PRI connection on a PaBX, a total of 3 PRI connections. The (very basic) dialplan sent 6 DDI numbers to the ISDN file transfer box, and the rest to the PaBX, it had the capability (with an extra licence) to also add IP destinations to the dialplan, but this was of no use to us. I found the UK support to be very good. Cheers
