The Yeastar TA1610 is a TA Series FXO gateway that brings 16 landlines onto an IP PBX over SIP. It mounts in a 19-inch rack and adds an RJ21 connector so all lines can arrive on one cable from the distribution frame, which suits hospitals, hotels and large offices.
====
The Yeastar TA1610 is the FXO gateway for sites with a lot of landlines. It accepts up to 16 analog lines and converts them into SIP trunks that your IP PBX uses for inbound and outbound calls. Built as a 19-inch rack unit, it goes into the same cabinet as your PBX and switches instead of a row of small boxes on a shelf. Once connected, the PBX distributes calls on the sixteen lines by the rules you set: one number for reception, one for emergencies, numbers for departments, with an auto attendant and queues if you need them.
Yeastar TA1610 ports and capacity
The front panel holds 16 RJ11 FXO ports, WAN and LAN Ethernet ports at 10/100 Mbps, and a status LED for every line that shows whether a landline is connected. Around the back you get an RJ21 connector, a power switch and a protective earth terminal.
- 16 RJ11 FXO ports.
- One RJ21 port for single-cable line termination.
- One WAN and one LAN port, 10/100 Mbps.
- Remote management, which Yeastar lists for the TA1610 only, not the TA410 or TA810.
- Up to 16 simultaneous outside calls with every line connected.
RJ21 and tidy rack installation
Sixteen separate phone cables into one box make a mess of any comms room. With the RJ21 port, the technician runs one RJ21-to-RJ11 cable from the distribution frame to the gateway instead. The box includes two rack ears, eight screws and a grounding kit; Yeastar's installation guide recommends a qualified technician handle the earth connection.
Call quality at scale
With this many lines in use, audio quality matters. The TA1610 supports G.711, G.722, G.729A and other codecs, along with G.168 echo cancellation, a dynamic jitter buffer and packet loss concealment. It detects caller ID, answer and hangup, so receptionists see who is calling and every call is logged with an accurate duration. The gateway is managed from a web interface with call and system logs, configuration backup, a firewall and an IP blocklist.
Where the TA1610 fits in Saudi Arabia
- Hospitals and medical complexes in Riyadh with landlines for appointments, emergency and admin.
- Hotels in Makkah or Madinah consolidating reception, reservations and restaurant lines on one PBX.
- Corporate head offices moving landlines off an old analog PABX onto an IP PBX.
- Government and education sites that must keep well-known public numbers.
Compatibility and PBX integration
Yeastar's help center documents connecting the TA1610 to P-Series PBXs over a SIP peer trunk, adding 16 FXO trunks; the official test used a P560. Its capacity also suits a larger system such as the P570. Yeastar lists interoperability with Asterisk, FreePBX and Lync Server and certification with Elastix, plus auto provisioning by Yeastar PBXs and TR-069.
TA1610 or TA810?
The TA810 has 8 ports in a desk or wall format. The TA1610 doubles that to 16 and adds an RJ21 connector, rack mounting and remote management. For four lines or fewer, the TA410 is enough. Go with the TA1610 once you pass eight lines or want everything inside the rack.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RJ21 port on the TA1610 for?
It lets you bring landlines from the distribution frame on a single RJ21-to-RJ11 cable rather than plugging in 16 separate RJ11 cables.
Is the TA1610 rack-mountable?
Yes. It ships with two mounting ears and eight screws for a 19-inch rack, plus four rubber feet for desktop use.
How many lines does the TA1610 add to a Yeastar PBX?
It adds 16 FXO trunks over a SIP peer trunk, according to Yeastar's official integration guide.
