Sangoma built its business by designing hardware that simply works, the first time. We have taken the time to ensure our BRI solution delivers. 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 configurable.

Finally, a BRI card that upholds Sangoma’s high standards of quality in engineering and untiring product support.

The A500 consists of a Remora™ BRI daughterboard mounted on the AFT PCI card. The Remora™ 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.

• 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 RemoraTM card.
• Dimensions: 2U Form factor: 187mm x 55mm for use in restricted chassis.
• Short 2U compatible mounting clips included for installation in 2U rackmount servers and high quality, tested 2m 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 5 V and 3.3 V 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: 800mA peak, operational 300mA max at +3.3 V or 5 V.
• Temperature range: 0 – 50°C.
• Optimized DMA stream and hardware-level HDLC handling unload the host CPU.
• Raw bitstream interfaces can be used to support arbitrary non-standard line protocols, such as non-byte aligned monosynch or bisynch.
  WANPIPE® supports certified, field tested, and reliable Frame Relay, PPP, HDLC and X.25.
