      Unfortunately have not needed one of those in a very long time. Okay, maybe unfortunately is the wrong term there. But regardless, it's been a lot time since any FXO devices so large have crossed my path. Sangoma would have been my guess.

        Audiocodes comes to mind MP-118 I think has an 8FXO option, probably over budget.
        Other option I can think off the top of my head is to see if AdTran has something. Total Access have an option of 8FXO but you have to get the very high end model (924e I think) and is probably also over budget.

          We have the Grandstream GXW4108. I got it working, but it took some work. (Read: Hours and Hours)

          This is the guide I used: http://wiki.freepbx.org/display/FOP/Configuring+a+Grandstream+GXW-410X+Device+to+act+as+an+FXO+Gateway

            Setting up the gateway as a trunk was easy as shit. It was the call quality issues afterwards.

              I do not have my unit powered up at the moment, but I would assume it has a way to backup and restore configuration. Would you be willing to send yours? I have no qualms about the hardware, I just need it to work and it was not.

                @aaronstuder you never responded, could I get your config for comparison? This issue is getting out of hand and I cannot count the time I have spent on it. I know I quit billing the client weeks ago.

                  Make sure the grandstream has the latest firmware too. If you have the old yellowish background you are running really old firmware. If it is blue background then you should be recent.

                      I'm a little frustrated on why this thing is not working. Not your problem. thanks for sending your config for comparison.

                        So I never followed up on this.

                        This was FreePBX 13. Fully patched and current and such at the time.

                        The Grandsteam GXW4108 issues were a pain in the ass. So I purchased the Sangoma Vega 50.

                        That unit also had issues, but I had solid support from Sangoma. Support confirmed nothing was wrong with the Vega 50. There was also nothing wrong with the FreePBX 13 install.

                        But there was random packet loss, somehow only with talking to these devices.

                        The environment was Server 2012 R2 + Hyper-V. No other VM had issues of any kinds.

                        I was swapping gateways back and forth trying various things and in a fit of frustration I installed a clean FreePBX 13 on their other hypervisor. That one was running Server 2012 + HyperV.

                        I connected the Grandstream to it and had zero issues. WTF.

                        So I deleted that VM and live migrated the active FreePBX system and all the problems went away.

                        The unit worked perfectly for 2 years (June 2018). At that time it was honorably retired as the site was able to get a solid fiber connection thanks to @Phil-CommQuotes.

                        They have been running on a Twilio trunk ever since.
