The A104 is Sangoma’s next generation hardware designed for optimum support of data and voice over T1 and E1. Designed to work with Asterisk, and functionally compatible with Digium's T100P, E100P and TE4XXP boards, the Sangoma A104 gives you unparalleled flexibility at a great price.

Operational Modes

• Data only:
  • T1/E1 and fractional T1/E1, single channel HDLC per line.
• Voice mode:
  • Supports Robbed Bit Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) and ISDN PRI.
  • Block mode raw bit-stream interface for integration with the Asterisk Open Source PBX/IVR platform.
  • Channelized mode supporting individual DMA into voice timeslots plus onboard HDLC support of PRI channel for soft PBX implementations that can use these features.
• Mixed Voice/Data Mode:
  • Combination of router/PBX functions in one server - Asterisk as an option.
  • Both 8 bit (64kbps per channel) and 7 bit (56kbps per channel) board-level HDLC support.
  • WAN data connection is supported by Sangoma’s standard WANPIPE® routing stack providing certified Frame Relay, PPP, HDLC and
