You can see alternatives listed and select everything you need. Missing a piece? It will tell you. I used to build from the price list directly and/or data sheets until my SE asked me why I wasn't using the configuration tool. I told him I hadn't seen it before. <br><br>https://apps.cisco.com/qtc/config/jsp/configureHome.jsp<br><br>You still have to do due diligence by checking whether a piece is EOL or not (could be EOL but still orderable sometimes), but at least it helps with making sure you have the correct licenses, etc.<br><br><span><br><span name="x"></span>---<br>Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A.<br>Senior Analyst (CCS) * University of Guelph * Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1<br>(519) 824-4120 x56354 (519) 767-1060 FAX (JNHN)<br>^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<br>Cooking with unix is easy.

The AS5400's make great SIP gateways.
