[App_rpt] Setting up a simplex node

[Steve Rodgers]

John,

You will need the following in addition to what you have already listed:

1. A digium TDM400 with one FXS daughterboard. Digium part number TDM10B. This 
is going to cost around $140.00. There is a Chinese knockoff of the TDM400p  
part number A400P10 for $93.00 which we haven't tested available from 
openvox: http://www.openvox.com.cn/products_detail.php?genre_id=9&id=27.

2. One ARIB board. This board can be built for around $60-$70. Board blanks 
are available from us for $10 each plus shipping. 

3. A modular to modular to modular telephone cable. 

We would like to suggest you plan to build a full-duplex system  as this will 
provide much more flexibility than a simplex node.


BTW: We are working on a less expensive solution which requires 2 of 
inexpensive X100p FXO cards (around $10-$20) plus a modified ARIB, but it 
isn't ready yet as it requires either changes to the ARIB, or an addtional 
external board. 

Steve.
