Hi all, I've seen a couple of posts recently from people who are doing something with Asterisk and a T100P and a Nortel PBX. However it's not clear exactly what they are doing.
Does anyone know if it's possible to use a T100P or T400P as a DSX-1 interface to connect to a T1/PRI CO module in a Nortel PBX? We have a Nortel Norstar Modular ICS PBX and I'd like to plug its CO module into an Asterisk server, for interesting reasons. Nortel's ATA/ASM for analog stations are not suitable for use with a softswitch like Asterisk and FXO interfaces. Also, Nortel has no T1 station module, so I think I could only connect Asterisk to a CO card. In this case, the Asterisk server needs to act like a telco for the purposes of the Norstar. Will this work? Also, I'd need to set DID digits on calls delivered to the Norstar so that I could control the call routing. All of the posts I've seen to this list indicate that Asterisk can decode DID digits, caller ID, etc. that are delivered to it, but I haven't seen any indication that Asterisk can SET the DID information on a call being delivered to another PBX. Will this work? I already know how to use coordinated call routing to deliver calls from the Norstart to Asterisk. These ideas would be a really handy use of Asterisk. If this stuff won't work, what might it take to make it work? I suspect it's more complicated than just using some sort of crossover cable and connecting them together. Thanks to the list denizens I've learned how to make Asterisk interface very nicely with a dumb pbx using the Flash and SendDTMF functions, but I would love to know the best way to make ASterisk interface with a smart PBX.
