Sangoma Vega 50 FXO Gateway with the 3CX System

Posted by | Apr 20, 2012 | , , |

With the recent releases of the  Sangoma Vega 100 Single T1/E1 Digital Gateway and  Sangoma Vega 200 Dual E1/ T1 Digital Gateway as well as the Sangoma Cash Bonanza promotion, Sangoma Vega Gateways have been a hot topic with many 3CX Resellers. While the Vega gateways have yet to be certified with 3CX, and are therefore “Officially” unsupported by 3CX support. The biggest concern for a 3CX Reseller is the provisioning process. As the unit is not certified, 3CX does not provide Auto Provisioning Templates for these units. Luckily, Sangoma support has generated these templates and made them available via their public Wiki. You can download these templates here: Sangoma Vega 50 4 Port and 8 Port FXO Gateway Templates Note: Currently ONLY the 4 Port FXO and 8 Port FXO models of the Vega 50 have had their templates created. Using these templates, you can follow the steps below to adding and provision these units to your 3CX system. To configure the 3CX Phone System for interaction with your Sangoma Vega 50 Gateway: Download the Sangoma Vega 50 template files here.

The Sangoma Vega Media Gateways, Vega 100 and Vega 200 now available for order

Posted by | Apr 16, 2012 | , , , |

The Sangoma Vega 100 and Vega 200 Media Gateways are now available for order. These VoIP Gateways deliver the core features of our highly regarded Vega 400, but at a price point and density that are better suited for the small-to-medium business or when an enterprise needs basic gateway functionality for satellite or remote offices. These price competitive Sangoma Vega Media Gateways still include the important failover features that many of our competitors have chosen not to provide on similarly priced gateways.  The Vega 100 and Vega 200 provide the core feature set supported throughout the highly-regarded Vega Series to small- and medium-sized businesses (SMB) that require only one or two spans of digital telephony (PRI/T1/E1) access. Deployable as a customer premises gateway for SIP trunking termination or PSTN access from an IP-PBX, the rack-mountable 1u Vega 100 and 200 chassis deliver up to 30 and 60 simultaneous calls or SIP sessions respectively. In addition, the devices support a broad range of audio codecs, T.38 fax, integrated call routing and dial-plan administration, as well as a variety of maintenance and survivability features that deliver easy-to-use resilience in a system sized for the SMB market. Bypass configurability of the digital spans enables dual-chassis redundant operation if desired, and an option to connect directly to PSTN trunks for emergency calling in the event of an IP network failure are just some of the key features that set the entire Vega series apart from...
