Adtran has a built in web interface too. I it slow, but it does work. I like CLI better. Overall, the SIP configuration is easy, and ideal for large setups. You define a sip trunk (not system only supports 1 unfortunately) and then each port you just add the sip username and password to that port.

But what about configuration, is it easy enough to configure? I'm told it must be simple to config and understand and if possible web based (im told because I may not always be available they want their basic IT staff to be able to understand and if need be make changes - which that alone scares me none of them understand anything other than windows) Thanks for all the suggestions On 5/3/20, Mike Hammett <nanog () ics-il net> wrote:If you were to outfit them with three chassis of Calix\Occam B6-252s,you'dbe under $25k for the whole thing and get ADSL2+ speeds.

The office runs voip, now i'm told i have to get phones to theworkersbecause the <lots of explicit words> AKA previous owners of that business stopped the build when they ran into financial problems. So my plan is to utilize the existing many miles worth of copperpairs.I'm looking at throwing them into Versa Dslams that use pppoe pass through, throw in a mikoTik 1036 as pppoe server, and we got spare R710 i can use as radius server, and by my limited knowledge this works. OK data done, but... now all those pots out lines need to gosomewherethat can handle 1700 or more lines, I am looking at eithergrandstream48 port FXS gateways or sangoma vega 50 ports (which Ill use as 48 so theres a 1:1 match with dslams) the vega 3050 probably wont be used because they are more than twice the price of grandstream. But this all results in a sh1te load of 48 port gateways (power isnota concern), but wondering if there is another solution that is more cost effective? Seems the regular NEC's Siemens and so on might have an option but I can imagine it will be far more expensive than abunchof individual gateways. This project is in my mind workable, but i've not done such a thingona large scale. Those who have experience in this field care to chime in? is mymethodacceptable or not for such a project size? most pbx's I've done are only few hundred analogue lines where gateways are more suited and definitely more cost effective, at all our locations we use freepbx which works perfectly, and we know the beefyness of the box we'll need to install to handle this load, thats not a problem if we go down the gateway method. thoughts?-- Jeremy Austin jhaustin () gmail com
