We originally purchased a TE405P so we could connect our Asterisk server directly to the T1 PRI from our provider, however due to all the problems reported with T1 PRI's interacting directly with Asterisk, we scrapped that idea and decided to stick with our Cisco router making the conversion to SIP.
Anyways, we found a new potential use for it. We have an old location with an existing PBX, and they want to be able to "share" our PRI's here and make calls to our location without tying up phone lines. Their existing PBX system has 2 PRI's from some telco running into it. If I put 1 or 2 TE405P's inside a decent machine, can it "trick" their PBX system into thinking it's talking to a standard PRI? Essentially be a FXS port instead of an FXO port? Looking at the zaptel.conf file and it seems as simple as using fxoks vs fxsks? And then using a T1 crossover cable to get a link? So then as far as their PBX is concerned, it's talking to a real PRI, but then the Asterisk server would take it and convert it to IAX (possibly with trunking to save bandwidth) and send it off to our Asterisk server here. The documentation I've found on configuring a TE405P isn't very detailed, does anybody have a link to some more in depth instructions with lots of examples? Do you recommend 2 cards in one server, or 2 different servers? _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
