Depends what you want to do! Do you want to do VoIP over that T1 to a provider or IP telephones? Do you want to hook up to the PSTN through that T1 as 24 voice channels, through a T1 card on your asterisk?
If you want to use the T1 as 24 voice channels, the Telco is going to have to re-provision the T1 as a voice T1, because currently, presumably it is one big channel of data. You could have the telco do any combination of 24 channels, some voice and some data, if your DSU or router allows drop and insert of channels. It would then split the T1 into a "voice side" and a "data side", each with part of the channels available. Once you have a channelized voice T1, it can plug into a voice T1 card in your Asterisk, but typically can't do data anymore, so if that's not what you intend, then please explain further.. -----Original Message----- From: Warren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 10:16 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] How to use a data T-1? I have a data T-1 available to me to do some testing of a new asterisk systemthat I am putting together. Do I just leave this T routed through my cisco router and plug in the asterisk system through a network card or do I need to get a T-1 card and use that? I looked on the voip-info wiki and it did not seem to answer this for me.
