It's only illegal if you connect to a carrier network without A-tick (you can get consent from them to connect without A-tick).
The ACA has plently of info, such as

Thanks Paul. I've been getting conflicting information about Austel permits.. Can any one confirm that the card connecting Asterix to an existing PABX does not require Austel approval?
Therefore, I could use a simple 1 port Compatible X100P FXO Card (that doesn't have Austel approval)?
Thanks.

The TDM400 is used for both PSTN and PABX -> PABX connections, from memory.
The card only requires an Austel permit if it is to be connected to an outside line, from memory.
Cost wise, you can get the TDM400 with 1 line for less than $200, or about $500 with 4 lines hooked up to it.

Hi Paul,
I have yet to find out the make and model of the PABX, I was just doing some general background research at this point. Is the same device (TDM400?) used for connecting both to PSTN and to other PABX's? I don't need to connect the Asterisk box to PSTN at this point, just to another PABX. I do know that the current PABX already has a tie-line that connects to a second PABX.
If Asterisk connects to another PABX via FXO ports, does the card have to have an Austel permit? I do not want to connect Asterisk to PSTN, only to another PABX.
Do I have to purchase an $800 4-port FXO Austel-certified card? Or, is there a cheaper option (1 port? for testing purposes) that will satisfy Austel requirements?
Thanks.

Good to see another Australian user on the list!
You could set up a card with some FXO ports (TDM400?) and use those lines to hook up the Asterisk box to your existing PABX. But I am sure someone else will come up with a _much_ more clever solution.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] SIP Phone -> PBX Phone
Hi,
I'm new to Asterisk, and am researching information on linking Asterisk to an existing PBX. Could somebody please help me with what might be required for the following setup? -
- We have an existing PBX. - I am going to setup Asterisk on our internal network along with some internal SIP phones. - I understand how Asterisk will act as the SIP Server, and SIP phones will be able to call each other, however -
- I would also like to link Asterisk to our existing PBX so that SIP phones could call standard phones on our existing PBX system (and vice-versa).
- I *do not* need to use Asterisk to call out via PSTN or ITSP. All outbound calls will be via the existing PBX.
What hardware device is required to link the Asterisk box to the existing PBX?
Could the SIP phones call the standard phones on our existing PBX system? If so, how does Asterisk do this?
Thanks in advance.
Ps. Even though I *do not* need to use Asterisk to call out via PSTN, what hardware device would be required to do this? And, how does this device differ from the device that links Asterisk to the existing PBX?
