Hi, thanks to the original poster, I redid all the cabling and immediately got the span to go OK between asterisk and the siemens legacy PBX. Only problem now is working out how to handle the calls from the siemens.... Worth pointing out at this stage I have no access to the siemens configuration, so I could be shooting blind.
I put span2 (which is connected to the siemens) into its own context (inbound-from-siemens) and then tried to few simple attempts at receiving¹ the calls that the siemens is trying to make. However whatever I put all I get via the asterisk console is : -- Extension '' in context 'inbound-from-siemens' from 'xxxxxx' does not exist. Rejecting call on channel 0/31, span 2 That comes up each time a call is attempted from the siemens, the xxxxxx shows as whichever direct dial number tried to dial out on the siemens, which I initially was pleased to see, however I am now stumped at how I should try to get asterisk to deal with these calls, am I barking up the wrong tree ?
