I forgot to mention that we, currently, have 24 phones/extensions in our office, we quite a few agents, many which are in multiple groups, we must be able to ring a fairly sizable portion of those extensions at any time. Using my current plan, a 'direct' line-for-line mapping from outside through my * box to the NEC, I won't be able to ring all necessary extensions if more than a few lines/channels are tied up between the * and the NEC.
I think I'm going to end up using your solution of a NEC T1 card and one of the t100p cards so I can have more than 7 active extensions routing between the * box and the NEC. I would love it if you could go ahead and start putting your efforts online. I plan on doing the same once my configuration is done to our liking.
Thanks, Chris

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
I know what ya mean .... I've spent nearly $800 in tech time for the Nec guy to help me get mine going. I have the Eletra 192 functioning right now, still have some bugs left.... but working. I used an Nec T1 card in the electra, and a digium t100p in my * box.
Let me know if I can be of any help.
When I get the last of the bugs worked out I plan to write down the details and put it on the wikki. t o n y
