8. A Successful Case Study
l Implementing 32 E1 Ports in a Single System

9. A Bigger One

10. l Installing 48 E1 in a Single Elastix System

11. l The Challenges
l High Density Concurrent Calls
l Asterisk/Elastix is also a Limit

12. l The Solutions
l OpenVox D430 (4 Port E1, Advanced Version)
l Adjustable Interrupt Routing Design
l Interrupts Frequency Adjustment
l FPGA Design, Upgradeable Firmware Onsite

13. l V1.5 Latest Firmware
l APU (embedded application specific processor unit)
l IRQ Agent
l Elastix

14. Step 1
l Hardware Configuration
l D430E * 12pcs

15. l MB: Intel DBS2600CP2 ( 2 CPUs Supported)

16. l Ram: 8GB
l CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2640 @2.5GHz

17. l OpenVox PCIe Slot Expansion Board(4 PCIe per
board)

18. l The Connection

19. l Hardware Configuration
l 6 D430 set as NET
l 6 D430 set as CPE
l Winsip calls NET->E1->CPE->answer and play
audio.

21. Step 2
l Software Configuration
l lspci (recognize D430, must be V1.5 to support 12
cards to work together.)

23. l ulimit -n (asterisk supports max 1024 files by
default, 12 cards will need 12288 files.)

24. l load driver, 1488 channels (31*4*12=1488)
l cat/proc/interrupts {only one(#26) IRQ # is
registered by one wct4xxp; it’ll be 12 before IRQ
agent}

26. l asterisk -r
l pri show spans (48 spans are up)

28. The Elastix GUI
l The System Info

29. Hardware Detector

32. l Winsip call test (about 3 hours)

34. l top (CPU load: 452.4%)

35. l The Results
l 70%-580% CPU loads
l The System is very stable.
l Great Voice Quality
l The Largest Density Installation that We’ve done
with Elastix
