Administrator Guide: Sangoma Card Support v.2

Introduction

The Sangoma Card Support 2 is based on the Sangoma NetBorder Express product.

The Sangoma Cards Support 2 provides the following sub-components:

The Sangoma's wanpipe drivers which are a lighter version of the one provided in the Sangoma Card Support 1
The NetBorder Gateway which is a PSTN to VoIP gateway and routes the calls to asterisk
The NetBorder Gateway Manager which exposes a Web based management interface

This version does not relies on the Zaptel and Woomera technologies any more. It interconnects with Asterisk only in SIP.

The following resources are available in order to configure the interfaces:

SangomaPRI
SangomaBRI
SangomaAnalogInterface

It will generate the required configuration for Sangoma and for Asterisk.

Some SOP Shell plugins are available in order to provide standard administration tools.
