Steve,
Thanks for that, now I know it can be done, do you have any references
as to how it is accomplished. Pointers are fine, Im more than happy to
RTFM and see what I can work out, but im having trouble locating it :)
Many thanks,
Jo

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk as a gateway to Index PBX
Hi,
Is it possible to have an Asterisk act as a gateway to an Index PBX.
I would like to migrate users from Index to Asterisk, but need to
have some kind of mechanism for the 2 systems to communicate during
the migration.
I have read that this can be done by installing a dual port PRI card
into the Asterisk server, to which the ISDN30 will be connected, and
then run a PRI crossover cable into the Index. I have seen this
mentioned, but have not been able to find any configuration examples
or tips.
Can it be done, and if anyone knows how then please point me in the
right direction...
Thanks,
Jo

Yes this is quit easy to do. We did it with a TE405P configured as
two spans CPE and two spans NET, moved the BT connections (Euro ISDN
not DASS) to the Asterisk CPE spans and two E1 crossover cables to
connect the two NET spans back to our two INDeX PRI cards. Programmed
all inbound on CPE spans to call out on the NET spans so all our DDI
just went straight through to the INDeX, it's easy enough to tweak if
you want any of the DDI to terminate on the Asterisk. Likewise we
programmed anything coming in from the INDeX to go straight out to the
CPE spans. We didn't programme anything critical in the INDeX, this
way if the Asterisk crashed we simply moved the BT PRI cables back to
the INDeX. We did programme string analysis, translation and a route
list so INDeX users could dial an access code (something other than 9)
followed by an extension number to call extensions on the Asterisk,
likewise in the Asterisk, we edited the dialplan so extensions could
call into the INDeX over the PRI direct to any extension, cool.
The main we reason we did this was to enable us to 'monitor' calls
only on specific DDI's remotely using chan_spy within Asterisk. It
also gave us a VoIP gateway from INDeX.
