AS a proof of concept experiment, I want to try and integrate Asterisk with my Lucent Definity G3 switch. I donât have an available T1 port on the G3 but I can round up 4 analog ports off the G3. What I thought I could do is create a âHunt groupâ on the G3. Letâs say I configure 5610 â 5613 as a hunt group. I know I would need a 4 port FXO card to install in the Asterisk server. Two configuration questions come to mind. Iâll assume I can configure the Sipâs phone to use the POTS lines for non-Sips calls
Correct.
, but I want to hid the fact that the Asterisk will need to dial â9â on the analog port to pass the call through the G3. I suppose the End user could dial 99xxx-xxxx to pass the 9 needed by the G3. Is there a way to hid that from them.
Yes, via your dial-plan on the Asterisk box.
Second question, can I set up a dial plan based on those 4 G3 POTS lines that connect to Asterisk? Letâs say that some calls 5611 from the G3, can asterisk determine that the call is coming in from 5611, and will it understand the G3âs caller ID?
Only if you can configure the G3 to pass caller id info, our G3 admin couldn't. the 4 lines you want to pass to Asterisk will connect via their own ZAP channel. 5610=ZAP1, 5611, ZAP2 and so on. You can use that in your dial-plan to pass incoming to certain extensions on Asterisk.
Since this is only a proof of concept, this should do very well. But, keep in mind that the X100P cards have limits on the number of cards within 1 PC. They generate LARGE amounts of interrupts. I have no experience with the TDM400 cards. Just 1 X100P and 1 T100P.
Have fun,
Doug
