Re: [Asterisk-Users] Non-PRI T1
Are they configured for inbound calls? If so how? Usually the telco sends the last 4 digits of the called phone number down the line. This means you'll need an exten=blah setup in the context that handles the T1. Hope that helps.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Non-PRI T1
You can use a normal T1. I have one between an Asterisk box and a Vodavi switch. I use 10 channels between them with E&M signalling. Zaptel.conf: loadzone= us defaultzone = us span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs #bchan=1-10 # set this to 1-15,17-31 for E1 #dchan=24 # set this to 16 for E1 e&m=1-10 #fxsgs=1-10 Then Zapata.conf has: immediate=no overlapdial=yes switchtype=national signalling=em_w emdigitwait=1000 channel=>1-10 You have to be careful of timing and such, because basically its really no fancier then a set of lines that happen to be on a T1. It opens and line and literally sends 4 DTMF codes to the server to tell it where its calling. For all intents and purposes it could be a bundle of 10 normal phone lines. It is our only site using this method because they wanted a fortune for a PRI card. Our Avaya and Nortel PBXs all talk to their Asterisk PBXs using PRI, MUCH easier. The basic T1 signalling and EM Wink is truly horrid to work with when the PBX is as dumb as a box of rocks like our Vodavi system. -Jonathan Jonathan O'Connor Senior System Administrator Inoveris LLC Direct Line (614) 791-3742 Fax (614) 791-3748 Helpdesk 866-456-1566 > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Rusty Shackleford > Sent: Friday, January 06, 2006 6:54 PM > To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' > Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Non-PRI T1 > > > -Original Message- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark > > Phillips > > Sent: Friday, January 06, 2006 3:39 PM > > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Non-PRI T1 > > > > > > Are they configured for inbound calls?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Non-PRI T1
Any type of circuit available as an analog line is also available over a T1. It just minimizes the amount of copper required to deliver service. You must look at you original order from your telephone company to determine the type of circuits they are delivering. They may be POTS 1FB in which case there are no digitis. They may be E&M with none. Or they may be DID which would be sending digits. Although only the order would identify the exact number of digits. If they are DID then you were probably assignen at least one block of 20 numbers to be delivered on the circuit. Of course then you need to know how many trunks/circuits you have active on the T1. For outgoing calls you control which ones to use for any given call. for incoming they may be divided into multiple trunk groups with different numbers coming in on different channels. If they are non DID circuits then they should hit the s exten in whatever context you have defined for them in zapata.conf on an incoming call.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Non-PRI T1
We do have a PRI on order but have an immediate need so band-aid in the mean time. This circuit has actually been hooked to a channel bank for years with just analog phone and I stuck Asterisk in the middle about 3 months ago. I setup the standard S extension and it is handling incoming no problem. One other question - how do I get outgoing calls to select last available channel instead of first? Thanks, Dave David J.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Non-PRI T1 configuration
SF framing is called d4 in the zaptel.conf. And use ami instead of b8zs.
If you want those changed, it will be basically a new circuit from your
telco!
You say that you have it running into a channel bank now. What type of
channel units are in the channel bank? That will tell us what type of
signalling is on the channels. There is more to the signalling/chan type
than you have learned about yet.
I am not sure on DNIS. They may be just sending the callerid the same way
it's sent over a analog line. If it was my circuit and my pbx and migrating
to *, I would want to convert this to an ISDN PRI.

I just have FXS cards in the channel bank. Does this mean I expect FXS
signalling from the T1? If not, what more do I need to ask the Telco?

I'm not getting callerID, just DID.

Yes, of course...and I am planning to do exactly that. But before going to
that expense, I need to test my software (converted to AGI) under asterisk
with what I've got now.

Don't forget this will be ami and not b8zs. You have to use esf to get
b8zs.

Yes, you will need to emulate the function of the channel units in the
channel bank. I would ask if the channels are loop or ground start. That is
not obvious from the type of channel unit.

I have not worked with that, but your dial plan then would just take the
incoming digits and do something with that information. I have no
experience with DID to help with that piece.

It will be somewhat different when you go to ISDN, btw.
