Actually very straight forward. After calling Digium and getting some amazing tech support, I simply had to modify my dial string. The change was simply to make * pick up the line, and wait before dialing the requested extension. This was accomplished using several 'w' characters in the dial string before the extension.

Once the remainder of the configuration of the * and the NEC is complete, and our NEC is set to pick up immediately, instead of waiting several rings, we should be able to use a 'clean' dial string, with no 'w' in it.

Thanks,
Chris

Please disregard, I have 'solved' the issue.

Thank you,

Hi,

I'm am currently in the process of trying to integrate an * box with an
NEC Electra Elite IPK.

Currently, we have 7 POTS lines coming into our building.  These lines
are plugged into our NEC using the appropriate analog line interface
card from NEC.  The NEC effectively has NO configuration done to it,
other than to make all the internal phones ring when a call comes in. We
also have voicemail and an extremely simple auto attendant setup to deal
with calls during off hours.

Due to the cost of all the components/software/consulting needed to make
the NEC do everything it needs to do, we are hoping to 'merge' the NEC
with an * box.

In my 'working' * box, I have a wctdm11b (asterisk dev-kit) with 1 FXO
and 1 FXS card.  I say working, because I have everything setup if I
totally bypass the NEC.  As per an email conversation with Digium, we
are connecting our POTS line to the FXS card, and the NEC to the FXO

card.

My current dilemma is that when I plug the * box and the NEC together, I
cannot get the * box to 'dial' a particular extension on the NEC.  It is
my belief that this is due to some configuration changes needing to be
made on the NEC.  Unfortunately, this is the exact thing I needed to
avoid and the reason for changing from the NEC to * in the first place.
I know some changes to the NEC need to be made, but I am unsure as to
exactly what, and how to do it.

Any input on how to get this working would be greatly appreciated.  If
more information is required, please let me know.  Please don't flame me
for possibly being off-top, I don't think I need baby stepping through
this, I simply need to know where to start looking.

Thanks,
Chris
