Astribank, a channel bank designed especially for Asterisk-based PBX, provides expansion of a variety of analog and digital telephony ports in a very compact unit. The Astribank driver has been included as an official part of Zaptel (now DAHDI) since release 1.2.4, making Astribank interoperable with all current Asterisk PBX. The Astribank channel bank supports up to 32 analog ports, up to 8 BRI ports, and up to 144 PRI + FXS/FXO analog ports on a 19” 1U box (144 = quad E1 + 24 analog ports), high speed USB 2 connectivity, full support for fax machines, hot swappable architecture, and is rack- or wall- mountable. It features support for TwinStar, a failover solution for complete Asterisk-based PBX systems, including all telephony interfaces.
