FEATURES

BENEFITS

Half length PCI (5V or 3.3V) or PCIe form factor.	Install in a wide range of motherboards and chassis sizes. The PCIe version also offers significantly higher bus bandwidth enabling more telephony cards to be installed on a single server.
LEDs adjacent to each RJ45 connector.	Indicates activity on each port on the card.
Host based signal processing.	Eliminates the need for on board DSPs and their associated resources, thereby reducing hardware costs and power consumption. The fact that it is open source and on the host PC server enables you to possibly modify code to suit non standard telephony environments - No emulators or simulators required!
Open Source Software Development Tools and Applications.	Speeds up development, provides total design and maintenance control and eliminates vendor lock-in, all at zero cost!
Accessories such as Splitter/Breakout Boxes, Failover Boxes and Audio Input Adaptors as optional extras.	Offers standard telco connections to the card, the option of power or PC failure redundancy and the ability to connect to microphone/headset type jacks.

The OpenPCI makes available two RJ45 sockets, allowing you to connect up to 8 ports. Voicetronix provides optional Splitter Boxes to separate ports on each of the RJ45 sockets into four individual RJ11 sockets making it easier to connect to POTS lines or telephone handsets.

The Failover Box is recommended if there is a requirement to preserve basic telephone functionality on Power or PC failure. It offers a controlled method for trunk lines failing over to specified analogue handsets/stations. Knowing that you can still make and take calls in the above mentioned circumstances offers you piece of mind that your communication system won’t leave you completely stranded. It inherently offers the Splitter Box functionality as well.

You don’t have to be using Voicetronix hardware to benefit from the Failover Box. When combined with our Splitter Boxes, the Failover Box may be used with other vendors' telephony cards that supply only RJ11 sockets. Such cards include Digium’s TDM800P, Sangoma’s A200 and Rhino's RH8Fxx series. We even have customers connecting them to Cisco appliances. For more information check out our downloads page and download the Failover Box manual.

Voicetronix also provides an optional multi-configurable Audio Input Adapter that connects the FXO Ports on the OpenPCI card to mono, stereo, balanced or unbalanced audio signal sources including radio, DVD or MP3 players.

Product	Physical Connections	Cables Supplied	Power Requirements	Image	Connection Info
Splitter Box	4 x RJ11 1 x RJ45	YES	None		Connects to the OpenPCI cards via the RJ45 socket. Connects to POTS lines,legacy PBX extensions and analogue handsets via the RJ11 sockets. Need 2 for the 8 port versions of the OpenPCI cards.
Failover Box	8 x RJ11 2 x RJ45 1 x RJ45 (serial comms)	YES	9V AC		Connects to the OpenPCI-8LS card via the 2 x RJ45 sockets. Connects up to 4 POTS lines and 4 analogue handsets via the RJ11 sockets. Serial communication is made available by connecting the serial interface on the Failover Box to the PC server's USB port via our modified serial RJ45 to USB cable.
Audio Input Adapter	4 x 0.25" jacks 1 x RJ45	YES	None		Connects to the OpenPCI L series via an RJ45 socket. Each adapter connects up to 4 audio channels via the 0.25" jacks. Need two of them for an OpenPCI-8L card.

All you need to build your next telephony solution is a PC server running Linux, an OpenPCI card and some open source software!

If the DIY option is not for you then contact sales for a pre-configured or custom solution.

Typical solutions include:

• Small business hybrid PBX system supporting both analogue and IP handsets. Take a PC server with an OpenPCI-8LS card running Linux (ie. Telephony server) and connect the card's FXS ports to the analogue handsets (and/or fax machine) and its FXO ports to the telco trunk lines (PSTN). Connect the IP handsets, if any, to your computer network (LAN) together with the telephony server and then install, configure and run our hardware driver and OpenPBX. Note: Digital handsets usually found in legacy keyed telephone systems (KTS) are not supported.



• Providing call logging/monitoring functionality to existing phone systems. Take a PC server with the OpenPCI-8L card running Linux (ie. Telephony server) and tap the card's ports to the telco trunk lines if only incoming and outgoing calls need to be monitored. If inter-office calls are also required to be monitored, then tap the PBX extensions instead of the trunk lines. Install, configure and run our hardware driver and VTlogger application software. Note: Only the tapping of standard analogue handsets is supported. Digital handsets found in keyed telephone systems (KTS) cannot be tapped using our technology.
