I'm running an Asterisk 1.0 server with 4 HFC cards and bri-stuff behind an
"Anlagenanschluß" with 8 B-channels in Germany. It worked fine with Deutsche
Telekom, but since we switched to Arcor nothing works at all.
After some debugging, I called Arcor helpdesk who told me that they do not
have a D-Channel and cannot signal one at my request either.

Is it possible to use Asterisk without a D-Channel? What should my
zaptel.conf and zapata.conf look like?




Sure its possible. It isn't much use, though :-)

The D channel carries the signalling. No D channel, no call control. You just have 8 open, but useless voice channels.



Maybe he has NFAS (Non Facility Associated Signalling) where the D channel on one of the BRI lines handles the signalling for the B channles on all 4 BRIs.


There is support for NFAS in Asterisk via "trunkgroups" in the zapata.conf config file. I have no idea if this works for bri-stuff as well. It may, since both are zapata devices.


I think NFAS would be a pretty unusual thing for BRI. However, he said he has *no* D-channel. With NFAS he would have at least one.
