 As far as I know, you just need a second ISDN card and a X-cable. No 
 mods to the NT1 are needed. To build such a cable, just swap 
 the outer 
 pair with the inner pair.
 
 3 - 4
 4 - 3
 5 - 6
 6 - 5

In Addition, you need bus termination:
- Use a device that terminates the bus
  * Your NT1 does that (often already enabled with dip-switches inside), just 
plug the x-over to the nt1 as well as your other device(s)
  * Use a multiplug that terminates the bus
- or just put in two 100 ohm resistors, one between 45 one between 36. 
Extremely easy and cheap if you cut a cable in half, rewire them using a screw 
joint, where you can also put the resistors in.

Depending on the device you want to connect, you might need bus powered, THEN 
you really need your NT1 (or a card that provides this feature). Link to 
PBX4Linux - documentation has already been posted.

[Asterisk-Users] ISDN X-Over

2005-02-05 Thread David J Carter
Hi all,

I have just been reading an article on the asterisk-doc site about ISDN
X-Over cables.

The article mentioned the converting of an NT1 to make this possible, has
anybody got the information required to modify a BT NT1?

Or any information on the BT NT1.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Dave

Termination and power are needed. Most isdn cards provide neither, but 
some do.

Stefan, Peter,

Thanks for the replies guys.

I have looked at the web page and will work on it over the weekend.

My next step will be to find out hoe the CO lines connect, but that's
another project.

Regards

Dave

Yes, as I wrote, I was reading to fast...
However, termination may be done by simply connecting a terminated
multiplug to the card and power is only needed for phones without own
power source. I have e.g. a Siemens Gigaset cordless phone connected to
my internal port, so I need no power.
But anyway, I believed, David was writing about ISDN monitoring, so my
answer was inadequate, I confess.
May we PLEASE leave out the tar and feathers? Only this time? :-)

   Stefan
