I am running into issues with this same setup and would like to update the wiki with information on connecting an avaya legend to an asterisk server via a T100P. Please post your experiences with the legend and asterisk so we can compile a great list of step by step instructions for the wiki.

Some questions I have pertain to the protocol used between the MLPBX and the T100P card.

We are running ML Release 7.0 with a 100D DS1 Card (hardware 1B, firmware 90) and a Cross Over Cable (1,2,4,5 -> 4,5,1,2) to the T100P.

We have selected the Legend-Ntwk type on the ML side.

Should we be running something like 5ESS rather than legend-ntwk?

Again, if anyone has semi-detailed to detailed instructions for the ML Legend or ML Magix please post them so we can update the wiki.

Sterling.
