Sangoma A500 2-24 Port Scalable S/T BRI

The Sangoma A500 S/T BRI Interface Card delivers superior audio quality and scalability. Expand from two to twenty-four ports of BRI with optional Octasic Telco-grade, hardware echo cancellation..

A single PCI or PCI Express slot hosts the connection for up to 24 ports and ensures common synchronous clocking for all channels with no signaling issues. The card is 100% software confi gurable. Finally, a BRI card that upholds Sangoma´s high standards of quality in engineering and untiring product support.

Technical Specifications

  • From 2 to 24 ports are supported. Mix TE and NT modes, as required. Changing modes requires no jumpers - simply invert the colour-coded module.
  • Supports Asterisk®, Yate, FreeSwitch, CallWeaver, PBX/IVR projects, as well as other Open Source and proprietary PBX, Switch, IVR or VoIP gateway applications.
  • Single synchronous PCI and PCI Express interface for all 24 BRI interfaces.
  • Six ports per Remora card
  • Dimensions: 2U Form factor: 187 mm x 55 mm for use in restricted chassis.
  • Short 2U compatible mounting clips included for installation in 2U rackmount servers and high quality, tested 2 m 8-pin RJ45 port splitter cables included.
  • 32 bit bus master DMA data exchanges across PCI interface at 132 Mbytes/sec for minimum host processor intervention.
  • Autosense compatibility with 5V and 3.3V PCI busses.
  • Fully PCI 2.2 and PCI Express compliant, compatible with all commercially available motherboards, proper sharing of PCI interrupts.
  • Intelligent hardware: Downloadable FPGA programming with multiple operating modes. Add new features related to voice and/or data when they become available.
  • Power: 800 mA peak, operational 300 mA max at +3.3 V or 5 V.
  • Temperature range: 0 - 50 °C.

Architecture

The A500 consists of a Remora BRI daughterboard mounted on the AFT PCI card. The RemoraTM BRI card has three sockets, each of which can accept an S/T BRI module. One S/T BRI module has two S/T four wire interfaces, which support TE or NT modes of operation. Changing modes requires no jumpers - simply invert the module. Up to three additional Remora daughterboards can be mounted in empty slot positions beside the A500 assembly. These are connected to the A500 by a special backplane bus connector.
