Fanvil GA200-8E Digital VoIP Gateway, 8 E1/T1 Ports, Dual Power, 1U Rack

Overview

The Fanvil GA200-8E digital VoIP gateway links digital phone lines (E1 or T1) to an IP phone system. It suits offices, hotels, call centres and multi-branch businesses that keep their phone company lines or an older PBX while moving to IP phones.

Is it right for you?

Choose it if your phone lines arrive as 8 E1 or T1 trunks and you run, or plan, an IP PBX. For analogue lines or phones, an FXS or FXO gateway fits instead.

Key features

• 8 E1/T1 ports (RJ48) for digital trunk lines
• Signalling: ISDN PRI, SS7 and SS1, plus SIP (RFC 3261) and IMS registration
• Routes calls between phone company lines, an older PBX and IP PBXs, including line-to-line (PSTN to PSTN) calls
• Two power inputs for redundancy, plus daemon processes and a hardware watchdog
• E1 hot standby and primary and backup PCM lines
• Codecs including G.711, G.729, G.722, Opus, SILK, AMR and iLBC
• T.38 and T.30 fax, echo cancellation, number manipulation and call filtering (allow and block lists)
• Two Gigabit Ethernet ports, console port, web management, TR-069, SNMP, RADIUS and TACACS

What else you need

• An IP PBX or SIP platform
• E1 or T1 lines from your phone company, or a trunk from an existing PBX
• Space in a 19 inch rack (1U)

Installation

It fits a standard 19 inch rack (1U). An installer or your phone company usually connects the E1/T1 lines and sets up routing on the IP PBX.
