Both provide four T1/FT1 interfaces and three Ethernet interfaces in the current 900e generation.
Total Access 916e vs. 924e
The 916e provides a middle tier of analog voice density between the 908e and 924e.
Total Access 916e: 16 FXS ports.
Total Access 924e: Up to 24 FXS ports or specialized FXS and FXO configurations.
When Should I Choose a 916e Instead of a 908e?
Choose a 916e when more than eight analog endpoints are required but 16 ports provide sufficient capacity.
Also consider future growth so the gateway is not immediately operating at maximum analog-port utilization.
When Should I Choose a 924e Instead of a 916e?
A 924e can be more appropriate when more than 16 analog devices must be supported or when a specialized combination of FXS and FXO interfaces is required.
