Ok.. Let me pose a question regarding this configuration. Lets say you have the ISP bring in a full T1 and they split it half voice half data. They would usually do this in a channel bank on site... So in this scenrio... You have the Channel Bank from the ISP where they split the channels.

Exactly. So... I would need as you noted two T100P cards or a T400P. The T1 goes into the * Server and the second port of a T400P goes back to the asterisk server. Then the extensions get broken out from the Channel bank? Geoff ___

Either way will work. Getting the T400 four port card gives you room to grow, but getting 2 T100P single port cards saves you about $500. Is this the only way to handle extensions... This turns a 4 port T1 card into a 2 port card... Is this the suggested method? Geoff

Below you will find, what I believe to be a typical setup with a T100P card. My question is - 1. Is this correct? Possibly. Depends on if you use a channel bank that can do add/drop and you're not using a PRI. You'll take your incoming T1 and go into 1 T100P and use another T100P to feed
