⚠️ Considerations & What to Verify
Before you deploy this in your environment (especially in India), you should check the following:
-
E1 interface compatibility: In India, E1 is 2.048 Mbps, 120 Ω, framing (G.703), line code (HDB3 etc). Ensure this gateway supports the exact parameters your telco uses.
-
Signalling support: Confirm the variant supports the signalling your provider uses (ISDN PRI, Q.SIG, CAS, etc) and how D-channel is handled.
-
Simultaneous call volume: If you have 2 E1 ports, ensure you understand how many concurrent calls the device supports in your codec/mode scenario (voice only, voice + fax).
-
Integration with your IP-PBX/SIP trunk: Since you may be using one, ensure codec compatibility, DTMF modes (RFC 2833/SIP INFO/in‐band), SIP trunk registration capability, NAT/traversal features.
-
Deployment environment: With 2 E1 ports, ensure proper rack space, power supply (100-240 V AC), ventilation, network connections (Ethernet) are ready.
-
Support & firmware: Verify local reseller or support in India, firmware update policy, future-proofing, spare parts.
-
Scalability/future proofing: If you may need more than 2 E1 ports in future, check whether higher port variants (4 E1) are available or if you should plan accordingly.
-
Cost of ownership: Beyond hardware cost, factor in installation, configuration, integration, telco line cost, maintenance.
