Grandstream ATA-hardware with several SIP-accounts?
|
|
| Roger Vanderheyden 2005-07-28, 5:45 pm |
| Hello,
Since a while I'm using a Grandstream HT-286 SIP-adapter. It's working fine,
but it has the limitation that it only can handle 1 SIP-account. I'm using
several SIP-accounts by several registrars (including local phonenumbers in
different countries), but unfortunately the Grandstream equipment can only
handle 1 SIP account. For example, the AVM Fritz!Box Fon
((http://www.avm.de/en/Produkte/FRITZ...he_Details.html)
can handle up to 10 different SIP accounts simultaneous. I know that there
are services like SipSnip.de, which can 'bundle' SIP-accounts, but when the
SipSnip server is down, all SIP-accounts are off-line. It's ofcourse more
secure to configure the SIP-accounts in your own equipment. When one service
went down, the others are working fine. I would like to ask Grandstream
owners, to drop a line at support@grandstream.com and asking for adding this
feature in the next firmware upgrade. Only if you need this feature ofcourse
:-). It would be great if we could add +/- 5 SIP accounts to the Grandstream
HT-286 / HT-486 hardware. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Roger Vanderheijden

I think you will find it is impossible to do what you ask. VOIP Products are
limited by their chip sets and hardware
including memory, doing what you ask is probably wayout of what the hardware
can do, at least it is on other chipsets like PA1688. Its like a car, you
can chip the ECUof a diesel polo, but you can't turn it into a petrol
powered supercar

Excuse me Nick. I've had a problem with the news-server.

I don't know the technical limits behind the hardware. I thought it would be
a pure software (firmware) issue, but I can understand that there is a
hardware limitation. :-(

| Why don't you go for one of the new Grandstream ATAs which support 2 lines
(ATA-496?), or go with the new Grandstream GXP-2000 which can handle up to
13 lines.

The GXP-2000 works fine with multiple SIP accounts (I have one at home). The
handset is seems light and flimsy however (even less weight to than the
Budgetone 101!).
