Ken, Analog DID's are a bit backwards compared to normal POTS lines. I don't know about outside the US, but here (in California, specifically) I've done a few analog DID installs on some NEC PBX equipment. The trick is that with an analog DID line, the CPE provides the battery to the telco (i.e. the DID phone line plugs into an FXS port on your equipment instead of an FXO port). The DTMF's come from the telco but only because the telco "goes offhook" and sends the DTMF's down the line, and then connects the call.
If you point a DID number at a regular POTS line then when a call rings in it simply rings in like a regular analog phone line. Unless the carrier can provide some form of DNIS on an analog line I believe you'd need one POTS line per DID number. Or you could order one DID trunk group and point all of your DID numbers to it and use FXS ports to handle those incoming calls... -MC -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken D'Ambrosio Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 8:22 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] DID over analog? I've some DID's that I'm using for in-bound faxing, but I'm having some trouble with getting that working perfectly on my T1. So I'm thinking of pointing them to an analog line. Will the DID's simply come in over the analog, presumably sending the DID digits via DTMF? Or is that not something that'll work?
