Gavin Hamill wrote: I know the cables themselves are wired correctly because our local PBX support made them, and they work perfectly when plugged into a real BT ISDN2e wallbox it seems as if this is exactly your problem. the wallbox has a NT pinout = straight trough cable the hfc card has a TE pinout = you need a cross-over (isdn not ethernet!!) cable to connect to your local pbx which also has a TE pinout. the nt/te switches on the hfc card do not cross over the rx/tx pairs of the card. this has to be done with the cabling. i don't think you will need any termination resistors if your cable is only a few meters and does not have any other devices on the bus. regards frank sautter ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I've made reference in this thread already that I do have both straight + ISDN crossover (3/4 and 5/6 swapped) cables, and none of them work... one will get further than the other, i.e. using 'dmesg' I see a TEI request *FROM* the PBX, but I don't see any output from the HFC card going back to the PBX to tell it what TEI to use...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Debugging zaphfc + PBX integration
In the UK BT do not provide NT1 seperately and the BT ISDN2e grey boxes only provide emergency power as they do not have a mains connection. So I do not believe power is the issue...I strongly suspect you need the 100 ohm terminators and you need to check that your ISDN BRI crossover cable is wired correctly. i.e. the RX pins on one RJ45 connect to the TX pins of the other. Have a look at http://users.adamant.net/~isdn/s0.doc Stick with it - it will work and you will be pleased!

Howdy - just got meself a cheapy Cologne chip card to play with in the hopes that it will prevail where a £1000 Eicon Diva Server failed...

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Debugging zaphfc + PBX integration
If you your board into an ISDN wall socket and it works then you are acting as a terminal so you are in terminal mode. Now, how are you connecting to the PBX? If you are connecting to an ISDN extension on the PBX, then still you have to match the kind of connection, whether it is point-2-point or point-2-multipoint. Then it should work. If you are connecting it to an external line on the PBX, then it will have to be in station mode and also you have to work out p2p or p2mp and also have an ISDN crossover cable (not an ethernet crossover cable). So a lot for you to work out. I have successfully got a zpahfc card working on an extension of our PBX and also a PRI card working on an external PRI line of the PBX, so it should work for you in the end. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
