I have a T3 coming from my carrier. From there I want to use an Adtran mx2800 T1 Mux to break the T3 into 28 T1/PRI which feed into seven quad T1/PRI equipped servers. Everything seems very straight forward with the exception of the D channels for the T1/PRI. I am not very familiar with large

Your mux will split the DS3 into 28 DS1 (T1) circuits. They are numbered 1 - 28. You tell your carrier how and where to assign the D channels. The mux does not have anything to do with D channels or signaling; the telco's ISDN switch does. A simple setup would have a D channel on every DS1

Thanks for some answers, that is what I thought. Asterisk is NFAS capable so I am looking at seven D channels on the T3 I guess. I don't want to put a D channel on each T1 or I will lose several channels that could be used for calls. I wonder if there is any way that Asterisk can do NFAS
