I have not done this with PRIs, but have with DID/DOD trunks on a T1 from our local phone company and then used analog 'trunks' between * and our IBM Rolm PBX. You will need to set up your channels in the proper context. You can then determine digits to send in your dial plan in the extensions.conf file.

[Asterisk-Users] Norstar MICS
I am currently working on an Asterisk test system, and will be presenting a demo to the Board of Directors tomorrow night. I want to make sure I have all of my ducks in a row. The Asterisk system will be used to replace a Norstar MICS. The location has two PRI's coming in, with a few hundred DIDs. I know how to make * use the DIDs incoming, and I know how Nortel uses the DIDs. Now for the question: I wish to put * between the telco and the Nortel PBX. How do I set up dialing out a PRI from * to the Nortel and sending the 4 digits so that the legacy phone system knows which extension to route the call to? Am I thinking about this wrong? It seems to me that I need to buy a 4-port T1 card, take in the 2 PRIs on two of the ports, do the * magic, and output 2 PRIs on the other 2 ports, thereby connecting the Nortel and * and the P$TN. Has anyone actually done this? Can it work? I really don't want to lie... If I need to present the plan as replacing the entire system all at once, that's fine, but they're a lot more likely to sign off if we can do it as a phase-out instead of a forklift upgrade.
