I've done something similar in the past by using external Adtran DSUs with pass-through capability. I set the channel-map in the DSU to pull the channels out which are used for voice, FAX, etc. and get/pass them from/to the PBX using a DSX-1 interface before they ever hit the V.35 interface which plugs into the back of the router. In this configuration, the router neither knows nor cares about the channels which aren't used for data traffic. Karyn Ulriksen wrote:
I've been handling routing for web farms for quite a while and all my clients have leased lines (T1's, T3's, etc) and haven't done much in the way of dialup connects except for a portmaster here and there for backdoor stuff. As a result, I'm a little dumb about basic dial-up access and equipment.
What access router would I need to take in a channelized T1 that needs to have 6 of the lines split out for feeds to a fax server and the remaining used for dialup POPs? I've been looking at the Ascend/Lucent SuperPipe 155 and the Cisco 36xx and 53xx, but wonder if those can split out the fax server feeds I need from the T1.
Any and all *constructive* feedback on this will be greatly appreciated.
