4. Digital Telephony Card User Manual Version 1 0 Overview The GSM Series cards are PCI PCle base cards The GSM Series cards are designed to handle the GSM calls with Asterisk These are the Gateway card which will interface with GSM based PSTN network with the Asterisk based IP network VolP communication needs the capability to mediate between endpoints supporting different Networks but this requires Gateway functionality Asterisk is capable of terminate the some type of calls with other calls such as terminating the SIP based IP calls with H323 based calls But it is lacking the call terminating capability with the PSTN GSM network This GSM card will add Gateway capability and provides excellent voice quality without affecting latency or using up precious host CPU resources The GSM card comes with bundled software to make the product architecture independent The GSM Series cards are capable of handling up to 4 bi directional GSM terminating calls All calls are fully indemnified no additional licensing is required for their use Allo com GSM card is a telephony PCI PCle card used for varies PBX software e g Asterisk FreeSWITCH etc with compatible drivers Features Capable of doing the gateway functionality Suitable for PCI PCle 1 0 slots Simultaneous 4 calls can be terminated to the Gateway Supports alaw codec WWW ALLO COM Page 4 GSM Digital Telephony Card User Manual Version 1 0 Card Inst
