Re: [Asterisk-Users] DID trunk suggestions for Asterisk
Doing some further searching it looks as though as Steve pointed out earlier the TDM400P may work for this. Has anyone else used the TDM400P to handle analog DID trunks? Steve Underwood said: Hi, Technically you can do it, but whether you can get that as a service depends on where you live. This may be what the original poster refered to.

Also looked using something like the DID-200 to convert the DID trunk to loop-start again these have a high cost. I also considered having the client order and switch to PRI and all the advantages this brings however I think this might be overkill for this client. Not sure of the month costs with this I was thinking depending on the term this may run about $500 per month.

So I guess my question is based on the above have I missed something and is there any inexpesive way to bring these DID trunks right into Asterisk keeping the current analog DID trunks? If so what hardware is required?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] DID trunk suggestions for Asterisk
Hi Steve, I posted a similar requirement to Digium and they confirmed that TDM400P does not support DID on analog trunk. Am I missing something in between?

Then connect out to wherever it is your clients are doing their business with either analog lines or VoIP lines.

[Asterisk-Users] DID Trunk
I'm working on putting together some Ideas about using Asterisk in our environment, one of the things I want to consider is DID trunks (analog), what hardware do I need to terminate these trunks? I'm looking at the voicetronix openswitch6 or openswitch12. On the openswitch, I'd like to use some of the lines for analog sets for the breakroom, kitchen, etc where they don't need all the cool features, and the other lines for POTS/DID trunks. Also how mature is this for production environment? I envision using mostly VOIP phones, cisco 7960 or Uniden UIP200 and using the voicetronix to bring in DID trunks/POTS lines. I've read reports about echo problems, is it still an issue with asterisk? ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

When moving from a channelized T1 with 4 digits of DID to a PRI, we had enough of a difference in time in call connect that our customers commented on it. So if 4 digits of DTMF is noticeable, do you think 23 digits would be? Maybe cheaper, but you still have to watch time till connected. -- Steven Critchfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [Asterisk-Users] DID Trunk Lines and Caller ID
I agree w/ Michael...if you've got 14 one-way Trunk Lines, you should be able to get a PRI for the same cost they are paying for the 14 Trunk lines, and then you will get 23 in/out lines and DID and all the other bells and whistles for those lines. It will also save you the cost of a Channelbank since you'll be able to plug it directly into your * box. 8-) Tim Thompson Commercial Sales Engineer http://www.amatechtel.com (806) 722-2227 -Original Message- From: Jared Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 10:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] DID Trunk Lines and Caller ID On Mon, 2004-01-05 at 09:04, Steven Critchfield wrote: On Mon, 2004-01-05 at 09:28, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have an installation which is currenly using 14 DID Trunk Lines.
