So the only difference with PRI is caller ID? What I am trying to determine is if the PRI has enough advantages to give up the voice channel used by the D channel. For what I am doing, caller ID is not necessarily that important for my application.

Is a non-PRI T1 significantly harder to configure with Asterisk?

Can Asterisk choose the context based upon the CallerID with a PRI?

Thanks for your reply

Go T1 with PRI signaling. Farming and line coding is for all T1's. We use ESF (extended super frame) B8ZS ( I forget B8ZS stands for but it's a newer line coding) . If you have it avaible to you, Signaling type should be PRI. The rest of your numbers 4-7 are in the PRI signaling. No sound differences in digital. Caller ID is very important. PRI signaling is very easy to set up with Asterisk. Ben Brown wrote:

Preparing to order a T1 (not PRI) for our asterisk box. The telco has offered me several options that I am not sure of. Which would be best for use with asterisk? The box has the Digium card in it, BTW.

1. Dial Tone - No, Yes - Precise, Yes - SCC
2. Framing - SF, ESF
3. Line Coding - AMI, B8ZS
4. Signaling Type - Ground Start, E&M, Loop Start w/Ring, Loop Start w/o Ring
5. Pulse Mode - DTMF, MF
6. Outpulse Start - Wink, Immediate, Seizure
7. If Seizure then - Origination, Digit Collection.


On a related note, am I correct that the only major differences with a PRI are faster call setup time and the caller ID information on the D channel? Are there any significant differences in sound quality with a PRI? Any other advantages to giving up the extra channel seeing as the cller ID is not really a selling point for me?

Thanks
