    Hardware Configuration


    A single AFT A200 card supports 4 Analog ports (FXS/FXO).  To increase capacity one can add on "Daughter Cards" labeled "Remoras", that connect to the main AFT200 card using a backplane bus. One can cascade up to 5 "Daughter Cards" increasing capacity to 24 Analog ports

    When using FXS modules and/or additional remora daughter cards, you must connect a Molex connector (4-pin) from the server power supply to the card. 
    The molex connector provided both 12 Volts and 5 Volts.  FXS modules require 12 volts and remora boards require 5 Volts.

    FXO/FXS Module Installation

    Slide the modules into the main card until they click in properly. You should be able to read the designation FXO or FXS on the outside of the card (Remora) after installation.

    FXO modules are RED in color
    FXS modules are GREEN in color

    FXO/FXS Modules have RED/GREEN face and BLUE back.  The analog port will glow RED (if FXO module) or GREEN (if FXS module)  depending on which type of modules is installed.

    An A200 Analog card can be outfitted with any combination of the two.  Furthermore, each RJ4 pin port is either mapped to FXO or FXS module depending on the physical location of the FXO/FXS module on the card


    Module Configuration Examples:

    Sangoma SLIM Telephone Cables Connectors

    Sangoma A200 cards use SLIM 4 pin telephone cable connectors.  The initial shipment of telephone cables contained these SLIM connectors on both sides of the cable.  As it turns out, the SLIM 4pin connectors are not reliable when connected to a standard telephone 6pin female connector.  

    Therefore, if you received a telephone cable from Sangoma with SLIM 4pin connectors on BOTH ends of the cable, CUT one end off and attach a standard 6pin telephone connector to that end of the cable.
