Can I Update to Switchvox 8.0 with Telephony Cards in the Appliance?
The upcoming release of Switchvox, version 8.0, does not support telephony cards. Beginning with Switchvox 8.0, Sangoma will no longer provide any technical assistance of any kind for any telephony card products when used with Switchvox.
Sangoma has been recommending the use of VoIP trunking and gateway devices with Switchvox since 2013.
It is possible to update to Switchvox version 8.0 if there are telephony cards in the appliance.
Following the update to 8.0, the following cards will be unrecognized and will be completely unusable by Switchvox:
T100
E100
TE110
TE120
TE121
TE122
T400
E400
TDM400
TDM410
AEX410
TDM800
AEX800
Driver load capability for some cards (TE13x, TE23x, TE43x, A4x, A8x, TE22x, TE42x, and BRI) remains; however, testing of any of these cards is no longer performed and function is not guaranteed or supported.
We highly recommend that telephony cards be removed in favor of VoIP trunking or gateway options.
