Like all the Sangoma AFT Series, the A200 and Remora system has field upgradeable firmware to take advantage of enhancements as they become available. The A200 includes an optional DSP Echo Canceller Daughterboard that enhances the voice quality with Octasic music protection, acoustic echo control and adaptive noise reduction. The DSP echo canceller does not increase the physical size of the card, and no additional slot is required and does not increase CPU load.A200 Detailed DescriptionSangoma's A200 Series analog interface card delivers superior audio quality and is expandable to mixture of 24 ports FXS / FXO ports in a 2U form factor. A single PCI slot hosts connection for up to 24 ports and ensures common synchronous clocking for all channels. As your installation grows above, you simply add more REMORA daughterboards to your system with the required FXO or FXS modules for a maximum of 24 FXS / FXO ports. These boards sit in place of a PCI board, but do not use the PCI slot.This A200 AFT architecture is shared with Sangoma's A101, A102, A104 and A108 cards ensuring common 3.3 V or 5 V, high performance and universal PCI or PCI Express compatibility.The A200 Series includes the A200, A200D, A200DX and A200X. The "D" versions include hardware echo cancellation, and the "X" versions use the PCI Express motherboard interface.What are FXO & FXS ports?- FXO ports connect to incoming lines from a telephone company such as AT&T.- FXS ports connect to analog telephones or fax machines.O is an "office" interface, it connects your IP PBX to a tradition phone company. S is a "station" interface, it connects your stations to the IP PBX.Sangoma A200 ArchitectureThe A200 consists of a REMORA daughterboard mounted on an PCI card. The REMORA card has two sockets, each of which accept either an FXO-2 or FXS-2 module, supporting two FXO or FXS ports respectively.Up to five additional REMORA daughterboards can be mounted in empty slots in the PC chassis adjacent to the A200 assembly, and connected to the A200 via a backplane bus connector, as pictured to the right.Voiplink offers the Sangoma A200 series in easy to understand bundles that come with everything needed for the number of ports ordered, including all the necessary REMORA cards and bus connectors. The naming convention for this product is A2XXYY:- XX — represents the number of FXS (analog telephone interface) moduless installed. Each FXS module has two analog telephone ports.- YY — represents the number of FXO (analog PSTN line interface) modules installed. Each FXO module has two analog PSTN line portsLike all the Sangoma AFT Series, the A200 and Remora system has field upgradeable firmware to take advantage of enhancements as they become available. Sangoma cards guarantee error-free faxing and click-free audio on analog-digital links.**Hardware echo cancellation option required.Sangoma A200 Technical Specifications - From 2 to 24 ports supported, mixing FXO and FXS interfaces, as required.- Support for the Asterisk, Yate, FreeSwitch, CallWeaver, OPAL PBX/IVR projects, as well as other Open Source and proprietary PBX/Switch/IVR/VoIP gateway applications.- Single synchronous PCI interface for all 24 FXO/FXS ports.- Four RJ11 ports per Remora card.- Dimensions: 2U Form factor: 120 mm x 55 mm for use in restricted chassis.- Short 2U compatible mounting clips available for installation in 2U rack-mount servers.- 32 bit bus master DMA data exchanges across PCI interface at 132Mbytes/sec for minimum host processor intervention.- Autosense compatibility with 5 V and 3.3 V PCI busses.- Fully PCI 2.2 compliant, compatible with all commercially available motherboards, proper sharing of PCI interrupts.- Intelligent hardware: Downloadable Field Programmable Gate Array programming with multiple operating modes. Field upgradeable so that new features can be added when they become available.- Power: 800mA peak, operational 300 mA max at +3.3 V or 5 V.- Temperature range: 0 - 50C.Optional DSP Echo Canceller Daughterboard on the A200D- G.168-2002 echo cancellation in hardware- 1024 taps/128ms tail per channel on all channel densities- DTMF decoding and tone recognition- Voice quality enhancement: Octasic music protection, acoustic echo control and adaptive noise reduction.- No CPU LoadThe A200 and Remora cards incorporate four, 4-pin RJ11 narrow jacks, such as used in telephone handsets. Each Sangoma A200 Card is shipped with four 2m cables terminating in a narrow RJ11/4 plug at one end and a telephone-standard RJ11/6 plug at the other.For those who need to hard wire the A200 system, you can purchase a kit of 12 RJ11/4 plugs and a crimping tool, sold separately.Get the Fax on Sangoma HardwareWith Sangoma, there is no need for a separate analog line to run your fax machine.Using T1/E1 passthrough with Sangoma analog cards, there are no clock slips, buffer overruns, or transmit underruns that cause missed lines, blank sheets, and missed pages when faxing.Sangoma A200 and A400 cards synchronize perfectly with digital T1/E1 cards and the PSTN atomic clock for error-free fax and modem passthrough and superior voice quality over T1 and E1 lines.**Hardware echo cancellation option required.
