Multiple Phone lines on single ATA ?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.voice-over-ip (More info?)

I would like to know that is it possible to use an ATA to connect to
multiple or two SIP providers like FWD at the same time , and to
recieve calls on multiple phone numbers ( DID ) using single ATA . It
its possible that can some one suggest best cost effective ata which
would allow to have multiple phone lines and also some how help to know
that the incoming call is made to which phone number . because we until
we know that , we cant use one single ata for two companies as we wont
know that caller is calling which of our company .

Would appreciate all your help .

If you put Asterisk between the ATA and your inbound SIP providers (you can
have as many SIP providers as you like) then you can alter the caller ID to
tell you which virtual line the call came in on.

I would like to try setting such a system up being a newbie...
What minimum PCI hardware do I need to purchase for this
(assuming I have PC and 100mbit ethernet card, and Linux)?

If you have an ATA to connect your phones to, and will be receiving calls
over the internet via SIP, then you don't need any other hardware.

How many lines do you need..? The Sipura SPA-2000 has two phone ports -
see www.sipura.com/products/spa2000.htm

Not sure what you mean by which number is being called, can't you tell by
which phone is ringing..?!

I have to say, this is definitely one of the nicer aspects of running
asterisk. I wonder which other of the sip daemons can do this trick.
After spending a day or two reading about SER I still couldn't see a
way to do it.

Anyone know of another sip daemon that can dispatch calls to various
sip providers?

I believe that there are even people that have ported a stripped down
asterisk to the Linksys wrt-54g (a $60 home wifi "router"). If you
wanted a totally quiet, low power asterisk and had a bit of time to
tinker, this might be the way to go. Even my lowest power, oldest x86
computer, a ppro-150 takes 28 watts when just sitting there.

Draytek 2600V and Zyxel 2602 HW/L routers have two built in VoIP ports, but
can be set up
to operate both from one phone. The HWL version will let you access the POTS
line too.he Draytek only allows for one VoIP registrar at the moment, but
that should be addressed soon with firmware update.

Martin

You can build -up a switch matrix to join multiple voip and pstn lines using
the Combine-a-line units

That's right, and it isn't even stripped too much: I'm running one at
home and I'm very happy with it. The main limitation is the lack of a
hardware FPU, which makes some codecs that rely upon floating-point
based implementations (LPC10, iLBC, Speex) unusable if not in
pass-through mode. Otherwise, the CPU appears about as powerful as a
300 MHz Celeron. See e.g. the threads at
http://openwrt.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=6720 and
http://openwrt.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=6900#p6900 .
